I mean, no one should really be surprised that Ai ends up coming to the same place as Nagi again. She seems like a shadow following him this episode. She adds a lot of chemistry to the show though.

Honestly kinda felt bad for Nagi here. His life this season has just been a wild ride all over the place. The marriage proposal by Hiro though...WHAT

Be cool if they actually get married Hiro and Nagi but I highly doubt it

wtf is up with Crunchyroll lately, they got that delta partnership and forgot how to act

Edit: finally got to watch the episode and LMAO at Ai and Erika going from haters to lovers in one episode. Not them becoming best friends after Ai tried seducing Nagi yet again 🤣. Love Ai to bits even tho she’s messy. Speaking of messy, Hiro asking Nagi to marry her when she knows about he and Erika?? Hello?? Out of the frying pan and into the fire for Nagi. He just can’t catch a break. Guess there’s worse things in life than being passed around like this tho lol.

Really a circular episode with nothing being accomplished other than Nagi finding out a little more about his brother.. still enjoyed seeing the girls being silly.

Man, this episode was... not great. I mean dude took two baths with maybe an hour in between and then was asked to do physical labor? What funky pacing. And then the conversations feel so disjointed, and the events were all over the place.

Also, I guess supposedly Nagi and Erika are strangers even though they've lived together for months now?? But at the same time they had the big scene when the car left..

Oh well, I'll ride it out for whatever it's worth.

Hiro was just showing jokingly what would happen if Nagi refused her offer, although given Erica's mother, he could have just gone out the front door, but he decided to take the hard way.

"Whose panties would you rather see?"
"That's the real question."
Is it? Maybe in Japan. This Evil Overlord prefers his Harem, attendants, and Valkyrie Guards of Doom to be commando, in more than one meaning.

"That isn't how it works?"
Insight into Ai.

"What the hell is going on here?!"
Channeling much of the audience now.

"We'll see each other after one week, right?"
I would have been SOOOO tempted to say, 'No, we won't'. Yeah, that is the way I am. If I was going to see her, I would make sure it was at least 8 days, so as not to contradict myself.

Hiro has proposed. What was Ai's game placing Nagi there?

I'm so curious what that whole brother thing is about. Like I genuinely have no idea what's going on with that. It doesn't make any sense.

Oh, it's Hiro's turn to propose this week. Maybe in another two, Sachi will. ROFLMAO. I see a pattern now.

SEGAWA’S BACK LES GOOOOO!! I knew she couldn’t stay away forever lol, it was really nice seeing her make up with Nagi and get her resolve back, as well as becoming the “protagonist” now, she can be the protagonist all she wants in my book. I also liked the initial confusion with it seeming like Segawa is planning to murder Nagi, the setup was perfect for it honestly, the moment Nagi realized got a good laugh out of me. But wait did Segawa say she wants to marry Nagi at the end? I’m not buying it but I’d like to believe it’s true, so I guess the question is what she’s actually up to.

But before the Segawa stuff, there was a bit more that went down in the hotel room with Ai’s arrival, that 100 year plan she had with Nagi was cute but I don’t think you can plan to have a girl unless you’re adopting lol, I like where her head’s at tho. And what started as a battle of the babes became a nice friendship, that was pretty sweet to witness, I think Erika and Ai make great friends when Nagi doesn’t come between them, and hey I guess it was technically him that brought them together here lol. But then there was that moment with Ritsuko bringing up the lost brother again, so he needs to be saved and he’s closer than we think? I wanna look among the characters we know but we pretty much know one other male character that isn’t someone’s dad lol, but the mystery regarding this guy is pretty interesting, even if it doesn’t feel like we’re any closer to figuring it out lol

Lol Erika and Ai end up being friends together... Ai sure made her life plan with Nagi eh. Anyway now they escaped from the apartment but what Erika's mother told to Nagi about the brother he has to save is weird... and now Erika is going to live with her biological parents and Sachi (which is interesting) while Nagi is going with Segawa (funny how he thought he would be killed lmao) but now she wants to marry him despite all of what happened previously? wow.

Nagi's the only one that can get turned on by textbooks lol. I think most people's reaction at seeing a hand reach out from under a trolley is gonna be fainting. Nagi being admonished by Ai was just so fun though. As was the sparks between Ai and Erika. Ai's 100 year plan though was really something. Still it was nice seeing the two find common ground to bond. Still being able to spend a week with Hiro though sure was lucky. Not to mention the bombshell she dropped at the end as well.

No, he's not the only one. This Evil Overlord had a goddamn blast in school, school, and school. I was, however, never so limited in dimension as Nagi.

@landofthekwt What if the brother turns out to be another girl, reverse trap?

@Sheol01 because you know that is pretty much the only way to financially support the studios who hopefully give more than bird crumbs to the artists etc. you can of course buy the manga, but that would not support the animators etc.

@Omega_Keiichi how did you get the impression they were strangers. there is a real affection between them for whatever that means exactly, clearly they do not know, so nor should we.

@CyStarkman Yeah, that's my complaint. They said if they weren't engaged that they were just strangers. I never got that mindset, as it is something I've seen in multiple anime. The moment I'm referring to is around 7 minutes into the episode where Ai points out they have no relationship if they weren't engaged and both Erika and Nagi seem to agree.

I agree with you in that they do care for each other in some way, which I think sorting out exactly how they feel is a big point of the series. I just wish they didn't say stuff that would suggest if they don't get together that they would just pretend nothing happened.
