wow, that sleepover scene with Mai is one of the most realistic gf & bf portrayals I've seen, honestly. This show just keeps on giving, I feel like it's a mix of Hyouka and SNAFU.

Kind of a slow episode, but still nice. Needs more Mai x Sakuta though.

So Shouko-san is coming to their house every morning for the cat

And so we now have two Futuba-san in our situation a doppelganger at least, Sakuta can't even kiss Mai-san right damn I was hoping for that

This doppelganger is a shameless being huh that character of her's something else that we'll see the next episode.

Futaba split in two, with one being Futaba’s more out there self and the other being Futaba’s more modest self. I wonder how this is going to go. Also OOF at that Twitter posts of Futaba lewd. She’s gonna get made fun of at school for this, I can already see it. Also I’m wondering what Mai has to say to Sakuta.

Solid little episode, now focusing on Futaba's arc. Her arc isn't quite as detailed and lengthy as the other ones generally, but still, she is a solid enough character and the concept of there being two of her is interesting enough for even this two episode arc to still be potentially decent. A different dynamic too is there given Futaba and Sakuta are close friends and not romantic interests with each other, so Sakuta has a different motivation to help out beyond just Mai and his love life in general. Cliffhanger was something else too, although it was predictable to end up in that sort of direction with the fake/alternate Futaba.

I know this has been said a thousand times, but I like how they're letting Mai and Sakuta's relationship progress organically even in the midst of the adolescence syndrome shenanigans
-- Also uh-oh Rio's double seems to be a little less reserved than the Rio we know..

I absolutely loved the SakutaxMai scene. That was wholesome.

Damn there's two Futabas and they might be some kind of mental copies of each other. So does this mean that the ponytailed Futaba is the one who has a crush on Kunimi or is it both of them? And oh god, why did she post lewd pictures of herself on social media?
I like the transition in the ED.

sure he did scream at the school that he loves here right, but still, that was to pretty save a life, super pressure, so id to that too to save somebodys life, fuck my reputation, a lifes more valuable
and then she comes back from a week at work, hes shitting at her, but its out of her control right, its work!!!!
and then he be like oh so ANOTHER GIRL imma help her out u can wait
like bruh, come on

...i mean it could be my own insecurities screaming right now hahaah
like, i feel like love needs more validation u know, id feel kinda sad if i were in her place u know, thats me tho, maybe i just need more validation to not feel unwanted, maybe she trusts him
cuz it feels like hes all talk

I somewhat wish this would have been taking more seriously, or at least Sakuta's reaction. Make it more sad and you can also tell Sakuta's backstory and relating it with how Shouko came back and make it a bittersweet ending. But at least we're getting more focus on Futaba.

No need to be a boy genius to figure this one out. She projected herself as what she really wanted to be, Futaba. Or rather, what she thinks will get her the attention of her crush.

The arc introducing two mysteries makes the episode ever more interesting, can't wait to see where this ends up!
I am actually slightly intrigued as to how they well they will end this series as it would be interesting to see how they every arc together.

And here I thought Futaba was just the nerdy science girl who explained phenomenon whenever Sakuta required it. But apparently, there's more to her than that, if she uploads pictures of herself in... sensuous poses.

another suprising about Futaba.. Amazingly every each episode has its unique, all about these so-called "Puberty" Syndrome

There are at least two Futaba.

Before I watch the next episode, I interpret these manifestations of Futaba as her different subpersonalities, the fake ones being her repressed parts.

As of now, she doesn't seem to be suffering from domestic abuse as Hanekawa, so I'll rule that out. Perhaps people have expectations of her as this geeky gal, but some sides of her would like to express herself like that Futaba who would like to he objectified. Her boobies weren't mentioned before and how she might potentially be a rival to Mai.

>More people getting involved in the story, keeps getting blurrier. Kaede is being annoying, being a (i think it's called so) yandere to his brother amk.
>Futaba tries to become more good-looking. That was my first thought. Figures, THERE ARE 2 FUTABAS!?!??!
>This ep just reminded me of Charlotte, they also happened to have their supernatural stuff in adolescence(it's a bit late to notice, tho T_T)
>Mc brought another new girl to his place. It's a stay over. He talks to Futaba while she has bath and Mai about seggs while they lie on the floor. Mc tries to kiss her but fails. Not that she rejects but they collide. Mc ends up sexualising his pillow.
>Kaede makes weird noises while eating breakfast.
>Shoto visits without informing, not an actual Japanese act.
Minus 341234 points.
>Kunimi's gf talks to mc abruptly. It's about Futaba's secret social media account. Username is spelled as ChoKoKoRoNe. It means Chocolate Cornet, the food which made Futaba start liking Kunimi(her profile picture is also chokokorone). Her posts are lewd stuff which she doesn't show her face entirely, but can be infered by the details. Mc gets surprised after seeing all these and episode goes katarenai nemurenai


>new words I've learnt from this episode are::: Irasshaimase(welcome), sukoshi(a bit, slightly), shitteiru(to know, but mai used it as 'I know') and uso(lie)

It's very peculiar to have a long lost childhood friend reappear with no memories of you and whilst still being the age you met them at. But one of your current friends having a duplicate is also very strange!!!

I wonder if Shouko is a red herring. Or maybe she's also connected to Futaba's case somehow. Or they both could be separate examples of puberty syndrome! This new arc is already super interesting.

Even with her lab coat on, it was obvious that futaba have big racks but holy moly!! This episode made it clear that she does in fact have colossal milk jugs. Also I'm really glad that sakuta have friends like kunimi and futaba. Can't get enough of seeing mai and sakuta being lovey-dovey lol, they acting like newlyweds and it really fits them so much. Kaede saying my brother keep bringing more girls made laugh, not a harem series but it had potential.

The moment they saw Futaba at the Internet cafe while talking to her on the phone, my first thought was “if she’s here and you’re there, THEN THAT MEANS!” lol. Jokes aside, it is time for Rio Futaba’s arc, they kinda throw you for a loop there in thinking the next arc is about Shoko at the end of the previous episode, but nope, it’s Futaba, two of them in fact. I actually forgot this is what Futaba’s arc is about, I just remembered really liking it, so I was actually surprised when they were talking to Futaba on the phone, yet here she is not doing that lol, it makes me wish we got a bigger reaction from Sakuta there but it’s no big deal.

And with two Futabas is a really interesting difference, one looks like the Futaba we’ve known until now, and the other has changed her look up with removing the glasses and going with the ponytail, it’s always quite the sight to see when the nerdy girl takes her glasses off lol, Futaba is pretty in general but she got quite the glow-up. Now the questions are who is the fake, is there even a fake, what caused this, and why is one of the Futabas posting lewd pics of herself? It’s obviously involving Kunimi somehow, and it probably has to do with Futaba’s suppressed feelings, but I won’t say too much because all will be revealed soon. Also the fact Futaba described this situation with teleporting and copying herself is kinda wild lol, but I do appreciate the effort to explain what’s happening with science, every arc so far has been enhanced by that. And it goes without saying, there were some very nice Sakuta and Mai moments in this one, I would go into more detail but I don’t want these posts to get too big lol, just know I do love them.

And now we got a Futaba variation of the ED, almost hard to believe it’s her VA singing it because of how she sounds in the show but I really like her voice, the addition of Futaba ditching the lab coat and putting up the ponytail is so good too.

Sakuta and Mai's back and forth during that little sleepover felt so organic, it's adorable. The chemistry they have with each other is so palpable.

The story of how Futaba fell for Kunimi was really cute too. Pretty crazy how we've got two separate mysteries going on at the same time though (there's no way the kitten has something to do with it, right?)
