Good episode fr. Most of the guild members are cool except for that lil shit Runa. I wonder what she's plotting on MC, because no one simply switches up from hating their opp in a single day lol. To top it off she even called her a bitch to gigi. MC didn't hear that piece but still, she should have been at least a LIL suspicious at that quick change of heart. "what is she cooking?" type shit

4/5

First, they left me waiting for one week to know who among those in the meeting was Ruri... and now, that mysterious appointment the very same day when Runa proposed Akane to see her.

This show surely knows where to end its episodes.

Decent episode. We get to meet 3 new characters. 
Wholesome guild member meeting with lot of unexpected stuff.  Rurihime as i supected is not the little girl but eita, he is really passionate/enthustiastic about his in game persona but also to a degree its a little weird but in a fun way, but most importantly has a nice outgoing caring and bubbly personality. I like it. He looks out for people around him even listened to Akane about her dumping and then has nice little talk with Yamada with his girl situations and how aloof and unaware he his. I feel he's gonna be our wingman for sure.  It was funny when akane thought he and yamada were a thing in the game, but can understand why, he's that sociable to a point it may seem it can cross a certain boundary. but its in all good faith. 


I loved the old guy takezo, mans really wholesome, cheering everyone up and trying to get everyone along. Its interesting seeing an old man in the mix as i previously mentioned, would like to see his personal life and lifestyle. it would be interesting.

Finally eita's little bratty sister ruri, shes not in my good books for now, rude, possesive, assuming, and now also add scheming to the list, ofc it might be her childish side taking over but still gonna keep her aside for now and see what shes upto especially with that "sincere" call at the end. Also it seems yamadas giving her tutoring that too at the same day

We had some more progress between yamada and akane. He's more aware of akane's perspective towards unlike their first meeting, maybe somethings stirring within him, The train scene was funny with all ladies staring at him like he's a national treasure, ofc with that looks its obvious. Both of them still not able to hold a conversation alone together, but slowly working it out, Akane still thinking of what yamada means to her. Also nice of her to give yamada proper food, mom instincts kicking in xD but it was sweet  nevertheless.

The after credit scene with eita/ruri showing off her fashon tips and dresses was funny. i like these after credit scenes like the last episode with yamada conversinng with his onliine team when akane was sleeping in the room. these little tidbits are interesting and fun, hope they keep it up.

Another great episode. Loving the adaptation so far. This is easily my number 1 favourite series of the season :D

Offline meeting was way better than most lol. Rurihime being a Nakema was not something I expected. What a siscon. Sucks that Runa doesn’t want to accept Akane into the guild. If Runa’s inviting Akane to hangout while she’s getting tutored, what’s she planning? To make her jealous?

I wish the romance was more nuanced in this tho, having Akane like Yamada basically because he’s hot is just so shallow. Hopefully there’s more characterisation later on

Don't worry. Both Yamada and Akane will get more characterisation and development way before the season ends ;)

It was such a fun episode. It seems like the villain of the show has made her entrance. I'm wondering what Runa will do the day she met up with Akane. I'm looking forward to the episode of next week. Also, it's very cute that Akane made all that food for Yamada

The more we advance in the anime, the more I began to see that the parts of the story in which there is a connection, whether direct or indirect, between our two main characters are the best, the second part of the episode was rather beautiful, the firstt part concerning the guild members meeting was very empty, at least for me, When I got to have a first impression many characters, but by the end I did not find myself intrested in any of them.

This episode flew by, didn't want it to end at all. That guild meeting at the café was so awkward and it looks like Runa just wants to meet Akane to make her jealous of Yamada and get into a big fight or something. I thought the game element of the anime would become tiring but it's actually the other way around, it adds so much flavor to the comedy and the romance. The second part of the episode was delightful, love how slow things are between Yamada and Akane yet still with every word they share together feels like something is blossoming beautifully.

She didn't drop it on purpose. She got mentally stunned and dropped it.

If Runa only plays for about once in three months, how is she so attached to Yamada? It makes no sense. It must have a plot behind it.

I hope Runa is not mean to Akane on Saturday. Akane is so sweet and looks like she's developing feelings for Yamada like any other girl. I hope my girl wins. She even gave him dinner and is looking forward to hanging out with Runa.

Another good episode. Yamada and Akane are so cute together. I hope we dont get too much drama in the series and keep it as wholesome as possible. 

Yamada is a pretty interesting character. Not often you get this kind of male lead in a romance. 

But damn Runa is a bitch.

no story that has a romantic development based only on the characters's appearance is good, shoujo are horrible things produced by the desire of the authors, it has no story and much less romance

Another nice episode in which we get to see 5 guild members at the same time, we get to (officially) see the real Princess Riri and his sister, who's pretty possesive towards Yamada and his brother, lmao. I don't think the meet up that they will do next week will be succesful however, she wouldn't have changed opinion so fast imo. Excited to see what will happens next week !
I like everything, ok

I hope Akane and Runa can be friends, even though we all know what she is after.
The best Yamada can do now is to cancel her teaching session... although he really needs that money, right?

I can already see Akane coming to her home and finding both of them together in some precarious situation... and then Akane will run (insert Momoko, her friend). Let there be misunderstandings.

I guess that is what this story is after, right. But I would rather if whole triangle was resolved differently.

Yamada gets praised for doing the bare minimum and is called handsome for looking like a background character. I don't understand why she doesn't go after Rurihime instead of the kid who is still learning geometry.

I mean... in terms of human behavior and reaction to certain situations I have to say it IS pretty accurate (like when Akane turned hher back on Yamada because she was flustered and he misunderstood) or the awkward "forced" conversation while they were on the train. That's perfectly realistic... Then again it has some typical shojo anime elements which isn't bad.

So far this anime is nothing extraordinary but maybe slightly better than some other average animes/stories out there (although I usually don't like stories where the female protagonist is older than the male protagonist).

I'm sure Runa is plotting something.

My only real "complaint" about this is that the characters come off as a bit bland. Except for maybe Eita whom I for some reasons love (even though he was kind of catfishing as princess Ruri but I feel like it's just his character and he didn't mean any harm by this. Honestly it waskind of obvious in the last episode it was him but still a very nnice turn of events).

After having a menacingly rude behaviour earlier, Runa went and apologized on the phone... Runa is so Sus... 👀
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I want Runa to go away. But I loved that Akane ran to her house and back just to feed Yamada. I wish we'd gotten a scene where Yamada actually eats the curry. And I love that Yamada seems so attuned to Akane's mood. I'm finding the pace a bit slow but will keep watching!

How old is Yamada and Akane? I'm just curious. 

Runa doesn't look like she's older than 13-14 years old but damn she's jealous of Akane and I'm sure she's plotting something.

I hope Yamada shoots down Runa soon. I'm already tired of her character. Boring.

I think Yamada is 18 if he's a high school senior, so Akane must be 19-20 as a college student.

thanks! I figured they were just a year apart so it doesn't make it as creepy I guess tbh it was one of the things that put me off of it at first even though I liked the story.

The last segment before the ED seems to be a straight up bait as she has tutoring classes (unless I'm getting this completely wrong), so Akanecchi is going to be disappointed.

Poor middle-age man. Trying to enjoy the cafe and these bitches ruining the experience.
Also no wonder Akane has low Intelligence stat given she didn't recognize the only guild member who calls her "Akanecchi".

Underwhelming episode. Damn shoujo anime that use annoying side-characters to "develop" the non-existent romance of generic main leads.
