Renako is a keeper 👌🏻 stays at home all day playing video games

14:28 And Ajisai finally reveals her feelings! 🙌🏻 but we all knew already 🤣

I’m pretty sure I said this before, but because this anime is also animated by Passione just like Redo of Healer, the girls’ faces really look alike 🤣

22:15 Ajisai confessed to Renako! 🙌🏻
AND RENAKO FUCKING SAID YES RIGHT IN FRONT OF MAI’S FACE!!! 😯🫢🤣🤣🤣 UH OH

My 12th Summer 2025 anime finished! Once again, I am very happy I hopped on this anime better late than never. I think this might be my first ever Yuri/Girls’ Love anime 🤣 I typically don’t watch this genre, but all those kiss scenes really sold me 🤣👌🏻 Love how aggressive Mai is towards Renako who just wants to live her life. Satsuki stirring the pot was enjoyable to watch too. Finally Ajisai stole the show in the end. Everyone loves Renako 🤣🙌🏻 most importantly, SEASON 2! 🙌🏻

YEESSS! The right one in the lead to finish up the season.

And another part already on the way?

I give Mai a lot of crap, but I do appreciate that she started to understand Friend vs Lover and had the courage to push her friend to still go for what she wanted rather than regretting it later. She put on a tough act so that Ajisai wouldn't feel like she had to hold back, but they both knew Mai was scared she might lose. And then she actually did!

The other girls got smooches, but the best one got the heart!

The only concern now, is that with another season, you already know there's gonna be trouble and turmoil for the new main duo. Hope they actually navigate it well rather than falling apart over misunderstandings like other shows might do. (It's marked for only 5 episodes on this site, so maybe things won't get too crazy.) Either way, good luck Renako and Co!!!

Ajisai is the one I like least of Renako's relationships.

Otherwise, it wasn't bad, but I started losing interest in it in the later episodes.

Haha, Mai put herself in an NTR-type situation by giving her blessing for Ajisai to confess to Renako only for Renako to say 'O-okay' leaving Mai confused. While I like Ajisai better than Mai I gotta give props to Mai for encouraging Ajisai to go for it rather than keeping her feelings bottled up.

This series as a whole was a fun watch and the best yuri-type anime I've seen but NGL, I haven't seen that many so far so there's that. Anyways, I'm glad to hear that this has a sequel which I will definitely watch it as I would like to see the shenanigans that Renako will get up too.

That "Hmm?" was great.

Mai apparently overestimated her abilities.

Well lets start with the fact that it was the last episode...
No more muri muri mondays?

Well that was fun.

A really good yuri anime.

Ajisai is a cutie.

Lets start with how she was worried about what her parents would say. But in my opinion its they who should have been worried and apologizing too; Ajisai really deserved a break.

The moment with Renako's mother was great.
Does she even know she just met her daughters new girlfriend?

I can understand why Ajisai cried; she is really sensitive person.

Mai is generally good and not a villain. She understands that Ajisai is also in love with Renako and although Mai doesnt want to let go of Renako, she also doesnt want to hurt Ajisai. Mai is literally caught between two fires. Although she might have looked overconfident, her hands were shaking, so in reality she just wanted to look that way.

The ending is great.
Ajisai really confessed to Renako, and Renako... agreed?
Mai was SHOCKED fr.
Apparently she went all-in on this moment and lost.

Now Renako and Ajisai are officially a yuri couple and im very happy about that.
So i like the way first season ends.

///

About entire anime - its a good yuri.
I still dont really like the way comedy moments was done here, they often ruin the romantic and more emotionally nuanced moments, but the romance in this anime is actually done well.

I love how Renako's interactions with the girls are done here —all touchings, kissings, and bathingtogethers.
My favorite yuri moments are bath with Satsuki and nighttime kiss with her and entire Ajisai arc (starting with first confession in empty classroom).
I would especially highlight the Ajisai arc - it was great and really felt like a journey and even romantic yuri journey.
I think Renako and Ajisai really became closer after that and began to understand each other better, which is why Renako agreed to date Ajisai.
Mai had less of a chance here, since shes constantly traveling for work.

The visuals are good (reminds me of an anime Whisper Me a Love Song for some reason), the music is well (opening is really cool), and theres a lot of yuri.

8/10, looking forward to the second season.

Yeah, reality had to kick in at the girls return but glad that Ajisai family understood. The aquarium scene was the most cool looking one and the rest went more or less as i expected. Kinda surprised this got a sequel season even if it's shorter than the usual one. 7/10

Mai gave Ajisai the final push she needs to finally confess to Renako but it kinda backfired as Renako accepted it. Renako didn't even hesitated LOL! And Ajisai's confession was so cute! Now I can't wait for the sequel to come out.

I genuinely didn't expect that ending lmfaaooo get decimated Mai!

This show handles harem better than actual harem anime! The animation is surprisingly great, the art is beautiful, the story is light (with some typical yuri mind fuckery here and there), and the characters are all loveable; even Mai. It does end on a weird cliffhanger, but then a sequel of some kind is confirmed and will be out in 2 months so all is good. Hopefully this is not a sign of an anime original ending. Nothing good ever comes out of anime original ending.

I was gonna give this show an 8/10, but fuck it, let's crank it up to 9/10.

I really liked that season finale, it changed my perception of Mai (for the better), and I didn't expect what happened in the very last seconds 😮

On a side note I'm glad they did take a picture of all three of them (I thought Rena opted out) at Suzuki's photo shop.

This story is so bad, it's astonishing how it gets worse each episode. It's not even a serious love triangle, it's just Renako being dumb. Ajisai is the best option, but these kind of stories always end the same so I assume she will be paired with Mai again later in the manga.

ajisai and mai had some oddly sexual tension there. and mai's reaction was funny :D

bit mixed feelings on the show, only at like episode 7 did i learn this was a harem show (mal didnt have the tag for the longest time), and i hated it as i was in the mindset that its a normal romance show. it did get better after people said it is a harem.
but still, i just dont like mai and satsuki's speech sounded like it was fast forwarded. i did enjoy parts of this but it wasnt particularly funny and i feel like ill never come back for a rewatch (might anyway, i have rewatched some garbage occasionally).
also light blue haired girl not a part of the harem :(

@illeat

Not everything you don't like to heard is bait.

This story is terrible. Mai forces her to play date, Renako kinda decides she want's to keep playing date but then keeps denying to like Mai.

Satsuki's storyline is the worst of all, the only actual reason for Renako to accept that infidelity circus is being blackmailed over "friendship" and both "love interest" decide to win her like a thropy in a shooting game.

Ajisai's storyline is actually good, the problem is that it can't fix the mess the story already is. Renako shows to be attracted to her from the beginning, but she keeps the "I only like her as a friend and want to help her as a friend". Then Ajisai finally confess and... Renako accepts it? What about the whole plot of pseudo dating Mai? The anime barely remembers it because it's too busy making a netorare fantasy instead of actually developing the romance.

It was a fun watch. While Mai had plenty of moments, more skinship between the other girls would have been nice, fanservice wise. What I enjoyed best about the show was how clear the visuals and character designs were. The characters looked good and consistent pretty much throughout the entire season.

Seeing as how s2 is continuing, I guess more girls will fall for Renako. So unless they introduce new girls, they only have one other girl in the group left... that is, unless little sister's friends join in. That'd be something.

Did Mai got NTRed checkmated at end😭😭

That's why you don't pull this type of stunt. But in fairness Mai was definitely the better part of this arc. The Ajisai simp army is too much. But without Mai she wouldn't get anything done and that's fact. I lost but if respect for her after Satsuki arc but Mai showed again why she's the main girl. Although I don't even know if she gonna win or not.

Ajisai is that nice good girl trope which I am not biggest fan of although she is in the better side of it. And I feel happy that after all she finally get to confess her feelings. Damn Renako you lucky slut..
I thought there will be a kiss but its delayed and will be in movie huh..So still no Kaho arc :(

This needs more continuation after the movie. One of the better Yuri and harem I watched. Toxic,fun, cute and even revenge too it was amazing..
8.3/10

Anyway (universally accepted) best girl ranking..
Satsuki>>>(Renako>)Mai>=Ajisai>Hina>Kaho

Kaho is so damn neglected..
I would be down if a door opens for imouto to join the harem aswell.
But there's one above all. No Satsuki in last two episodes heart my soul. I need more Satsuki & others..

I enjoyed this series more than expected, I wasn't even originally planning to watch it and I'm not that into yuri, but I tried it because of the hype and it was pretty entertaining. I couldn't stop watching Renako get herself into more and more trouble with her tangled mess of relationships. Some nice humor too, and I like almost all of the characters. In the end I think Satsuki is my favorite as a character, but Ajisai is the one I think should be with Renako, and I still hate Mai, so it was a perfect ending. Though since there's a sequel, I know it can't last. And yeah Kaho might as well have not even been in the show at all, she got absolutely nothing to do.

This might be the best yuri I have seen so far. To be honest, I was turned off by this at first due to Mai being so forceful that it can be seen as sexual harassment/assault. But the comedy, and the angel named Ajisai saved it for me. I really enjoyed it even though I am not really a huge fan of yuri. Looking forward to the movie sequel.

Mai: Nah, I'd Win

Narrator Ajisai, using a binding vow, cut down the strongest Lesbian of today with a single attack.

Hahahahaha confessing being encouraged by your love rival but you actually win? Mai's Oh face was wonderful lol. She had absolute confidence as Mai Ouzuka, but did she just ntr herself? Hahaha. Anyways I know this isn't the end. We got 5 more eps coming later. I guess that will resolve the story?

Really like that Ajisai actually decided quickly to directly confess and not over the phone but in person actually.

Congrats to Ajisai to join the list of people to beat Mai Ouzuka at least once. Right now she is the winning heroine.


I also really wonder are we not going to get anything with kaho? Like I think we'll see her but idk if in the next 5 eps she'll get an focus arc at all. She is the only one that's strictly just Renako's friend. Well, technically, love rival as well, since she loves Mai? Who knows, maybe Kaho will be the one to snatch victory lol.

Also note Renako did not lie when she said she didn't think she could say no if Ajisai confessed. She's a women of her word I guess. I mean I wouldn't be able to say no to Ajisai.

Not a single second of Satsuki this episode but I still loved every part of it. I didn't expect to take in quite a few things from a harem romcom but they dropped nice lines to learn from these past two episodes. It's something I needed as well, so this episode was near perfect.

I would've preferred if Mai gets together with Ajisai instead, since they're cute together. That ending was hilarious. I knew Renako's kind of leaning towards Ajisai rather than Mai, but I really wasn't expecting her to accept it. Mai can't believe what she's seeing. There's probably more to their relationship, like some conditions or stuff.

What a way to end the season, 9/10.

Damn, this anime has amazing quality—from the backgrounds, character designs, and art style.
The songs and background music are great too.
The characterization of all the characters is also well done.
The comedy and romance are really good as well…

I can say that in terms of visuals and plot, this anime is on par with, or even surpasses, the top three romance anime produced by CloverWorks.

Unfortunately, the same-sex romance element is quite bothersome. I really dislike LGBT stuff. But seeing two women in love in anime… for some reason, as a man, I actually enjoy watching it. 😭

Oh, and from the start I thought Mai was really putting in so much effort for Renako, but in the end it’s Ajisai who ends up dating Renako.
