It's funny how right after their Summer vacation, Nagi is linked to rumor. Seems this anime loves to build buzz around him and this time, he's rumored to be involved with Ai.

Nagi and Erika's moments were also hilarious. They're setting them again and it should be a drama filled episode coming up.

Both Sachi and Hiro get a bit mad at Nagi in this episode: Sachi because she realises he already came with Hiro to the amusement park before, Hiro because Ai made (once again) a mess of things when she talked of her love for Nagi to the medias.
Oh boy, Ai's room was quite something, and so was Erika's mom haha.

Erika has some good amusing moments this episode and she's also helpful and considerate of Nagi.
The end of the episode makes it look like next week is going to be all about these two growing even closer (maybe, we'll see).

Ai they could never make me hate you, BUT putting Nagi face(even tho it’s redacted everyone knows it’s him) out there without his consent and basically gaslighting him into saying yes because who wants to be the guy that said no to a world renowned idol? Still, all this actually works in Erika’s favor because now the two of them have some time together away from everything and Hiro appears to be backing off(for now) so this is Erika chance to shine!

Before that tho, the staff didn’t have to go so hard with sachi’s face cards today omg she is so pretty. Nagi not taking her somewhere special just shows he still views her as a little sister and doesn’t see her as a girl that would deserve a unique date spot. I feel bad for sachi, but tbh Nagi’s handling of this is how most people would handle it. Just because we not blood related doesn’t mean I’m just gonna switch to seeing you as a potential gf. You were still raised that way. I did feel bad during the mirror scene when Sachi thought she was getting a kiss 😒

Hiro is so damn messy. How you gonna kiss someone and then tell them not to talk to you again. This is the type of shit that made manga readers start hating her lol.

Not them putting Nagi on the jumbotron as Ai’s love interest 😭 she so wrong for that. His life was already complicated with the living situation and now he can’t even get a break at school.. that’s pretty selfish of her. Also having a room filled with a picture of Nagi is CRAZY. At least things are going well for Umino-tei who are getting free publicity for this..

The way Erika mom/Nagi real mom seems to be getting a kick out of this is funny. She knows this is a good chance to get the two of them closer.. smart. Can’t wait for next episode

Good episode. Relationships spinning in all different directions.
Ai working her yandere with a planted rumor declaring her love.
Sachi, dressed sweetly, jealous, angry, and insecure but still desperate for Nagi, but not sure in what form of relationship.
Hiro Jealous and pissed off, giving a kiss of death, but she will come back.
Erika jealous and venting, with a full panty view jump kick, but then trying to go strategic, and still has no idea what endgame she wants.

Ai's yandere bedroom, no ropes and chains, ... yet,

"Definitely not."
*Disbelieve*

"What does she want us to do here for a whole two weeks?"
*facepalm*

@LordCrueltyV Will Ai go the full Origami from Date A Live route? Then we will likely see chains, drugs, & even weirder stuff, including outright abductions. Wait for it...

Don't care much about Sachi right now but sad that Hiro's feelings are so indecisive, some jealousy but at the same time she kisses him (while Erika sees it) but she knows she can't give up on Nagi especially that Ai's backstory and intense love for Nagi is supposed ot be heartwarming but obviously she's scarry at the same time lol. Erika is suffering because of her mother's light craziness though lol, now she's locked with Nagi in a room to live together it seems like.

She has the wide eyed spacey look for it. Do not think this show will go for drugs, but abductions seem to be de rigueur.

Icl Ai is the best character in this anime, she’s turned a slightly dull second season into something really entertaining. I actually love her character, she’s so unpredictable.

I’m guessing Nagi’s biological mum wants to separate Nagi and Erika from everyone else so they can properly progress their relationship.

At this point I’m full team Ai, but obviously it’s leading to Erika winning

maybe the best ep in the show ? idk but compared to the other ep this has some really good events

ai-chan us really obsessed with umino, this obsession is really scary u know, she is saying to him u vs the world ? damn

then there's umino and Amano living together, her mom is at mourihno level at strategy and tactics, she puts them in a hotel where there's only 1 bed and they forgot an important things to them, Amano forgetting her phone ( the most important thing in her life ? ) and umino forgot his educational books ( the same )

4 / 5 good ep with good events but the full isn't

Amano is clearly a fan of hentai, and prefers that Eriki and Nagi love the art as well.

Now Ai has done more than shake up the harem, she’s got the press after Nagi now too since she exposed that she’s in love with him on TV, I mean it’s not like they’re actually together but I like the drama this created. It is sad tho that after that cheek kiss from Segawa, she pretty much cut Nagi off after that, not sure why that was her reaction to the news but I doubt this is the last we see of her, I just hope she can start feeling better about the situation eventually, I like a happy Segawa the best. Also it was nice to see Erika having our boy’s back here (well, she technically landed on his back lol), their engagement comes in clutch at times like this, but I also feel like at this point Erika would help regardless, they’ve been through too much together now lol. But damn I wasn’t expecting Erika’s mom aka Nagi’s birth mom to show up out of nowhere and then lock the two of them up together, I can’t see this ending with sex like momma wanted but this sure is an interesting situation lol.

Also there was the Sachi amusement park date, nice to see that she got to go there after all, I may not be team Sachi but I always enjoy her moments with Nagi, this was another really good one, her outfit was really cute here too. And we got a big of Ai backstory here too, nice to get a bit more history on her and Nagi, also I caught that the song little Ai was singing is the ED, cool touch. And I liked the reveal that Ai has been writing her songs about Nagi, another example of her love for this man, it’s very sweet but yeah I’m still hoping Segawa comes back lol.

So Hiro gets confessed to early on, and more than once, but keeps moving the goalposts and won’t give Umino an answer because she wants someone “worthy.” She also keeps reminding everyone she’s engaged. But then she gets jealous when other girls like him, like she owns him or something.

She blames him for everything and acts really bitter. Then when she finally feels threatened, she kisses him just to mess with his head and tells him not to talk to her anymore... ???

Oh and Ai seriously needs a restraining order from herself. She basically blackmailed Umino and might’ve ruined his life by making her love for him go viral worldwide. This show isn’t even funny bad anymore, it’s just bad.

Amazing episode.
All sorts of crazy things happening at once.
Hiro kissing Nagi out of nowhere and then asking him to not see her anymore is insane. I mean, okay, you are obviously jealous of him, but why do you have to make him suffer for something that isn't even his fault? Ai made everyone in the whole planet knows that Nagi is the guy that she is in love with. The problem is that she is a public figure and being known as a famous idol makes that the person you are interested in now is going to be followed by jornalists. Chaotic imprudent behaviour, but as a person that wanted to see more drama and things changing in this show, I fucking like it!! Last but not least, Did Nagi's real mother really kidnapped him and Erika just to make them get closer? This is absurd. But fuck it! If this is what it needs to happen for them getting more intimate with each other so I will take it.

Anxious for the next episode.
This show is getting better ans better.

In the end the real contest was between Hiro and Ai. Still the shocker was Ai's reveal of her plans on tv. Really served to create a massive wall between Nagi and his friends. Erika dropkicking Nagi at the park though was priceless. The insight into Ai's motivation for becoming a singer though was interesting. The mom's chosen method of overcoming this scandal was just what you expected of her.

His real mom seems rather insane and scary.

Ai has been a pest since the first time she appeared and now it’s only gotten worse. I can’t decide who’s more annoying though, Sachi or Ai. Ai does seem like a massive manipulator though.

Sachi is also annoying for the whole, how dare I be second?!

Hiro is also annoying as fuck for being like I love you but also I hate you.

Erika continues to prove that she’s best girl.

Edited to add that I still really hate the shitty animation. I hate all the colors and how weird everyone’s expression is and the stupid shapes ahhhh
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"

Ai took an extreme step by revealing her feelings for Nagi to the media. But even so, I somewhat agree—maybe it’s the kind of step needed to steal someone else’s fiancé (at that age, still naïve).

Upon learning this, Hiro no longer wants to speak with Nagi. Somehow, I agree—it’s better if Hiro is eliminated from the competition to be Nagi’s partner, because she seems to just give him false hope. Moreover, she already has a fiancé.

As for Sachi and Nagi, they might just end up as a brocon situation.
Meanwhile, Erika’s case is still unclear.
