Weakest episode so far. The first two were great though.

Oh my god, that corkscrew kiss! I am not too fond of the really violent parts, it looks too freaking brutal and realistic to pass off as "silly". I thought this episode was a bit less funny which is a shame, because I think this anime does Ecchi comedy well, but not so much serious drama. Which is what they were going for here I guess.

This episode had nearly no ecchi moments expect for that hilarious Corkscrew Kisser accidental No-Homo scene and focused more how Kintaro is such a kindhearted person and I loved it. The dirty jokes are exciting and funny but it's also great to have a change in tone once in a while.

Every first mistake is just the warm-up for the perfect run for him!

Best episode so far. We see another side to Kintarou, he actually has a larger heart than we realized. At the end he was still considerate of her feelings and let her down in a way she would still understand but not having it be a painful memory for her/ he made her laugh instead.

Also something to note: I appreciated how they didn't sexualize Nori's character. It would have soured the impression the show has on me so far, I think, since her character felt more naive and reserved. The way the episode played out fit the context. Tasteful is the word I think I'm looking for.

It's cool that this is a change of pace compared to the first two episodes (both of which have the same ultimate punchline) but this is a simple story where not much happens and there are very few jokes. The scene in the racing booth had a great comedy premise but it ended far too quickly. The episode is a bore.

I have a question did that girl really loved that guy. Like she got her heart broken but she instantly recovers from it and fall for kentaro. It kinda seems forced to me tho :/

"The road to perfect pasta is a long and scary one."

I must say, for somebody who usually only watches English subbed, I find the dubbed version quite enjoyable and extremely well done.

I knew something was off with kugure...

Whomever does the voice over for Knitaro is a literal god. Half the show's appeal and comedic value fall straight on his shoulders, love it!!

Interesting to know that pure/innocent/naive girls are actually a turnoff for MC.

Overall, super cliche and predictable episode but with more heart than the first two at least.

For young and inexperienced girls its easy to fall for a grown and seemingly succesful guy who makes a move on them, thinking that if that kinda guy likes them, that means they're special and mature for their age etc etc. And its also easy to fall for a guy, who they find out was trying to protect them from said succesful guy all along, thinking that they're the real deal. Im unsure about the quick recovery from heartbreak though, but it could be coz IMO she was just attracted to that lying guy, not deeply inlove with him, so she realized who really cared about her and thus recovered quickly.
However, it did seem kiiinda forced to me too, but overally I think her, an inxperienced girl developing feelings for both guys was pretty normal.

Ok this was a surprisingly non-sexual episode. I guess Kintarou's outlook changes depending on the girl which I like.
Also this episode sold me that he literally has a heart of gold.

Shocked said:
That being said, if that guy was part of the Yakuza, what's stopping him from taking revenge, especially now that Kintarou is gone?
Sounds like a plothole. I think he and his whore were handed off to the police off-screen but since he has yakuza affiliation he might be able to get bailed out depending on his position. His original plan is gone for good though.

Come on - where were the jiggling boobs? :(

Anyway, nice episode, although I wish Noriko had been able to confess like Naoko did in the last episode.

I like that they respected Nori's innocence and didn't show her body.
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you!

not my favorite episode of the six, and still really good thanks to the turned down ecchi tone. A girl like Noriko deserved it, naive but innocent in a realistic way. Once again, i remembered the main plot but not how Kintaro turned himself in to save her against Kogure moves while he stays unaware. And his real girlfriend at the final confrontation, instead of just standing there clumsily and being shocked, it would have be cool if she was into karate herself to challenge Kintaro a little more. Great final scene, finally, he turned down Noriko while still being very respectful.

Not really much lewd in this one, however quite a lot of GAYYYY

It was kind of sad, then bittersweet, heart-warming even. Wasn't expecting to get hit, just a little bit, in the feels.

No puedo pedir mas que lo que hace Kintaro es mi maldito padre protegiendo las sonrisas. No como otros.

I can not ask for more than what Kintaro does is my damn father protecting the smiles. Not like others.

This is an amazing show that I will never forget... It seems like a regular show but in reality everything it shows is stuff and problems you can find in real life and need solving. It truly makes me enjoy life.

possibly actually my least favourite ep so far, and honestly pretty boring at times, a shame but I feel like this anime might be kind of overrated for me personally. (so far at least)
