Maria's so damn stubborn. She's not bad at all. Not sure if she lied about wanting to start anew with Runa but Runa does want her and Maria to have sistery bond and she is honest about it. Maria should let go and give Runa honest chance. I wonder if Ryuuto can help in that regard by the end of high school. Runa at first glance seems lika a typical gyaru but there is so much more about her we don't know. Since Maria came back to city and school altough she is hiding it Runa is longing for same relationship with Maria she had when they were kids. I can see that Runa trully cares for Maria but after 3 years apart doesn't know how to tell her or react. This time it's on Maria and if she wasn't so stubborn she could have good relationship with her father and sister and her mother wouldn't mind.

Too bad the episode had to end like that; will have to wait until next week hopefully to see some resolution. Although I don't like how the drama and tension is coming from your typical misunderstandings, you have to to test the strength of the relationship somehow, right?

Man, the end of this one kinda hurt to see, after all the nice moments Runa and Ryuto have had together up to this point we’re still seeing Kurose throw a wrench in things, the preview for next episode especially looks upsetting lol, I mean I get why but it’s still unfortunate, and also Ryuto you foolish lad, you should have just suggested a fusion of the two pamphlets instead of trying to fib lol. But this episode wasn’t just drama, we also had some sports festival goodness, although it was pretty much a speedrun lol, usually at least half of an episode is dedicated to it but with less than that it felt very fast, but I guess the situation with Kurose is the focus and the sports festival is just the backdrop.

And I also liked when Ryuto helped out his buddy Ijichi by getting him some time with Akari, I’m not sure if the lad has any chance but I hope he does and also just liked the bro move lol. I was also surprised to find out that Kurose likes watching game LPs, I couldn’t help but imagine her watching Markiplier lol, but that would be pretty based of her. And lastly, are we really not gonna get to see the cheerleaders do their thing? With Kurose looking all hot I was hoping we would, I guess it’s still possible but I’m not sure, but if we don’t it’s not a big deal.

Well, there goes pretty much any progress Maria had made up to this point seeing their mom getting along with Runa. I mean, Runa is still her daughter and she hardly sees her, so it's fair that she'd want to talk to Runa...but all Maria can see is that her mom is getting along with her other daughter when Maria just wanted her to be there for HER. Even though the mom DID show up to see Maria's cheer-leading show.

And then Ryuto had to be there to confront her on the roof...and Maria reveals she still likes him and can't give up on those feelings...and Runa overhears. Which makes for a very tense meeting to finalize the pamphlets for the culture festival, especially when Runa feels like she's mad at Ryuto and Ryuto ends up picking Maria's pamphlet design. This won't end well.

From the preview for next week, after Runa heard what her sister said, it doesn't look like things are going to go well, but I think she'll make his decision her excuse to break up with him to give her sister a chance to have him, but I think we all know who he wants.

They didn't even design the pamphlets, just chose a color palette, how hard is it to say something in between? What does her mom talking to her sister at all have anything to do with Maria still liking the MC? Why is Runa distraught that Maria confesses again like the MC gave any indication of reciprocation? Episode was fine up until sports day and then it was just rushed, forced, silly drama for the rest.

Also the preview looks like it's going to be the result of said rushed, forced, silly drama completely blown out of proportion again because Runa is still extremely insecure and the MC can't/won't do enough to change that.

What could the MC possibly do to stop Luna from being insecure? That's all on her.

Don't blame him for hesitating on the leaflets, they're both bad. The bight pink one will be popular with girls but hated by boys and the monochrome one will been seen as 'meh' by all. Can't really pick one when all are bad.

Stupid plot nonsense as well
(Read in a Dave Filoni voice):
"Like, Oh my god... I can't believe our mother would talk to her daughter that isn't me at school just because I haven't told everyone that we're related, like... that's so not fair."

I get that Runa is supposed to be hotter and all and that she's probably going to be up for more stuff ((not that you're even doing anything with her) actually I'm pretty sure Maria is despite enough to do whatever as well)) but Maria likes the same stuff as you, is on the same life trajectory and hasn't been slamed through by who knows how many guys just pumping and dumping.

Friendship with someone who has a crush/big romance interest with you won't really work in most cases, and might ruin your relationship with your love interest. You either go for it or keep your distance and never interact with them again otherwise their hope won't die (at least not that easy).

It seems that Maria has trouble trying to get closer to Runa. Because every time she sees Shirakawa (Runa) with her mom, she thinks about how her and Shirakawa has been like in the past.

I can definitely see these 2 being polar opposites for sure.

The more I watch of this show, the more copy/paste romance anime it feels.

It's like My Dress Up Darling without any charm and with the generic spineless loser protag.


This show sucks more dick than Runa! It's generic as fuck and the MC is a gay as simp, like dude you are still saying in this episode how you needed Runas forgiveness and shit........dude you didn't do anything!
Like fuck bro man up, you turned down the confession and then listened to you gfs sisters problems......then your gfs best friend slaps you for no fucking reason and they don't let you explain shit. Then Runa comes back and actually says hey thx for what you did, my bad and hey befriend my sister and you still act like you did such horrible shit and need forgiveness......suck a punk cock bro cause that's def what you and Runa are good at....made for each other.

This guy and others are on point! The most generic shit ever and they just threw it all together cause they know this anime isn't getting a second season. This sucktastic show will legit make you dumber!



Also I've read all the major summaries of the LN and got all the low down and let's just say no wonder even LN readers dropped this shit and say they should end the anime with one season.


@Collins89 question what happens after the roof top after the sports festival they break up then make after that misunderstanding is resolved?

Oh I didn't mean it was all his fault. The "won't" was his half and the "can't" was her half.

How does Ryuto get out of this dilemma now? He's stuck between having to pick one or the other. Then we have Runa who has trust issues and Maria who has feelings for him. Doesn't help Ryuto that it's already his second time that Runa's had trust issues with him.

@Liberty1-7-7-6 I don't remember exactly what happens but I don't believe they break up. Just more dumb badly written drama.

If you go to Reddit and a couple other places they'll give you the summaries.

Maria really got jealous because the mom was talking to Runa, her other daughter?? That's sad. I kinda fell bad that Runa heard everything but she shouldn't be offended tbh if anyhting she should be happy that she won. Ugh I get why Ryuto was hesitant to pick Maria's poster but just get over it ahh, it was clearly the better option for everyone involved. Although Runa's design was really cute as well. I'm getting tired of Maria getting in the way. Also, I think that the older guy Ryuto talks to possibly dated someone he knows

@gyanburubii @antoninus_v
tbh it was the anime's fault on the mother scene, according to someone else post about light novel differences in another site (i didn't read novel)


that being said... while i really like Runa's personality most of the time, their relationship and also the friends... i can't deny how much annoying stuff this anime also has... specially with Maria stuff...
but that being said, judging by the changes in this episode alone ... i can't say that this adaptation is a very successful one lol if anything this makes me interested in reading the novel/manga, but not because the anime was great, but because i'm interested in seeing what the anime could have been without dumb changes, maybe Maria is actually a more interesting chara, and that would explain why she has more favorites than Runa in mal/anilist

Seems the friendship project caused more tension rather than lessening it. Drama over a poster design, really? That's where we're going with this now?

Shuugo definitely interesting, I have a feeling we're gonna be seeing a lot more of him. I mean he is in the opening standing behind Nikoru. Probably the most interesting thing in the episode...

Maria is gaining ground, and I can't say I'm displeased about it. Team Maria!

There is no question Maria is the better match. It would save the show if MC dumped Luna and got with Maria in the end. Hand Luna another dumping, she's used to it. Or better yet, harem ending.

I'm smelling some inconsistency. Now we're on Maria's redemption arc. But in the previous episodes, this anime has presented her as some obsessed psycho that some of us have expressed an extreme dislike for her.

It's hard for many of us to shift gears and start liking her. To be fair, when she geeked out earlier, it's as though she would've been a more fitting GF for Ryuuto based on interest alone and the topics that they could talk about.

It's a shame she rejected his feelings back then. Many people have speculated that she rejected him because of what was happening in her family, but there was no official confirmation. It wasn't explored.

I find it hard to believe that she would suddenly become obsessed with Ryuuto just because of a sibling rivalry.

Okay, so he did not say anything stupid while Maria confessed to him and he just stated his honest opinion about a pamphlet nobody cares about. Surely that's not enough to start any drama... right? Please?

So far a good episode with some romantic scenes and some drama. The school festival was nice and it was so lovely done how Runa and Ryuuto were working together. That Maria wanted to perform in front of her mother showed that she needed a bit of her appreciation, but with Runa also on the festival she (again) stole her the starlight. When Ryuuto and Runa where watching for her, he found her at the guilt roof (where it is obvious that it affects her all). There she (again) confessed her love to him, which Runa, however, also noticed. While he was able to turn her down, a storm seems to be brewing for the upcoming episode.
