It really is something to be in character every walking second of the day lol. But I’d say Rin should refrain from asking how her characters look, at a face value, as I mean those drawings or whatever Eiji made gives the most wrong impression, ever. But hey, you can say in the end he’s the only one who could sense her presence without even looking at her face even in a crowd lol. Liked how he has his priorities straight, even when Rin is putting up a show with characters like some student council president or some super serious girl with stiff face xD

By the way, intentionally or unintentionally, these guys have kind of confessed more than once already, and we’re just at the third episode. Actual thing will come later down the line, but yeah, I wonder how many “confessions” we would’ve been through by then.

New character added to the harem!

Thinking you know a woman because of a book... yeah I think watching an anime is even better than that lol. This is Eiji we're talking about though, only a dimwit like him would think like that ofc. That aside, can't believe this dude Eiji pulled up to the date with his school club shirt lmao. Dude really is a dimwit. Got some scared-chan and scared Eiji this episode.. ig? Lmao.

Damn though, Rin had a maniacal ass laugh when she took a photo of young Eiji. That aside, Eiji got trolled hard this episode by tsundere and little devil-chan. Dude really thought he got a love letter from both. He should've answered to tsundere-chan tbh. And at least Eiji has admitted to wanting to love someone. That's one step closer to loving Rin.

Rin put herself in a tricky situation by saying younger girls lol.

Do not under any circumstances let "President Nanakura" anywhere near anyone at a convenience store offering a night of karaoke (other than Eiji of course)


Slipping in her actual love letter among the fakes is such a massive goof I almost thought it was from an actual rival admirer at first lmao

Rin’s student class president role is literally Nakagawa Nana/Yuuki Setsuna aka my oshi from love live. Now I love her even more lmao! Another really cute episode with some adorable skits.

My fave scenes today were the head pats, love letter and Rin and Eiji looking at his childhood pics, really adorable! I don’t think Rin will be cutting her hair anytime soon with how much eiji praised her today and I love how giddy and happy she gets just looking at pics of Eiji being happy. Rin gotta be more careful though, Eiji almost read her real love letter to him 😂

Imp chan gonna end up being the villain of the series ain’t she lol? The button scene was also cute and for once Rin refused to switch characters because of how nice it was to hear eiji “confessing” 🥰

This show is always such a relaxing and fun time

Weekly dose of over sweetness & Bestest Girl ever.

New girl Demure chan joins the harem.
Eiji headpating Rin, exchanging second button, Rin clicking photos of his album and specially Rin giving "fake" love letters all of these moments were just too cute.
Both have unintentionally confessed many times, just get married already.

Also Rin may have pushed him to be Lolicon.

Best couple of the season and not even close.Another eps with grinning the whole way thru,their chemistry is just too good.

Honestly glad the studio dont try to do anything fancy and fell short elsewhere but focused on the most important part that is their banter.

Another cute episode
From the first part where Eiji said he wish he was in love. To be fair i understand why they have these dense characters, u really cant tell if they are flirting with you or just being nice.

When they’re talking about speaking in Keigo. Dropping it basically implies they are close.

That Dai-ni button, she couldn’t help herself hearing Eiji confess.

The photo album and that love letter mix up was so good.

The show isn’t that deep, however it’s one of the shows i keep looking forward to this season.

While it sounds like Rin wants Eiji to know that she, and not her alter egos, likes him she keeps backpedaling especially when she accidentally put her real love letter with the 2 from her alter egos but I can see how that would be embarrassing lol.

New characters unlocked: the student council president and the refined one. This anime continues to be one of my favorites of the season because of how cute, fun, and relaxing it is, but I have just one question: Will Eiji ever realize that Rin has a crush on him?

Let them become boyfriends, damn it!

Lord, Nanakura made so many cute faces this episode, I mean that’s nothing new but she’s gonna take up half of my screenshots this season alone lol. And once again there were lots of good bits, it’s a bit sad that Nanakura isn’t into scary movies because they’re my absolute favorite kind of movie, but perhaps she’d be even more fun to watch them with if she’s getting super spooked the whole time lol. I also really loved the caricature bit, Eiji’s portrayals of each Nanakura character looked great, and we got some great reactions from Nanakura.

And we also got teased with the possibility of short haired Nanakura, all of Eiji’s imaginations were super cute, but due to how he flustered Nanakura there I don’t think she’ll be cutting her hair anytime soon lol. And along with some great bits, we got even more pseudo harem members with the Student Council President and demure types, and as someone else pointed out she really did look close to Setsuna from Love Live with that hairstyle plus glasses lol. And lastly, I really enjoyed Eiji hiding Nanakura to give her a break, besides Eiji’s broken thumb that was a sweet moment, and that very last bit where Eiji mistook Nanakura’s advice of being into someone younger as being into little girls was good lol, that has the Araragi seal of approval.

A bit of a drop off in the art and animation. And the writing is starting to get a little cliche. Amusing, but not as humorous as previous episodes. Can the writers get back on track and deliver more like the first 2 eps?

I'll call this an initial pass on the 3 eps test. And stick around for a few more episodes, to see if it doesn't drown in cliches or worn out old tropes. For Rin's sake, I hope not.

It's about the letter, I'm curious what's in it. But if I could guess it's probably just sweet compliments that Rin wrote to Eiji, that's why she blushed and didn't want to show it to him.

So when will Rin confess her feelings to Eiji? Can't wait.

Welp, trying to understand girls through a reference book is not the way to go, Eiji. Rin acting like a student council president is rather dignified, though Eiji's drawings of Rin's characters sure brings out her rather cutesy expressions, and even casual speech feels like they're getting along quite well. But when it comes to fashion, both Rin and Eiji aren't exactly fashion connoisseurs, and going on a date to pick out clothing, earning Eiji's headpat in the process, Rin is rather embarrassed.

Back to acting, Rin acting mature is quite a new character, though that puts off Eiji quite a bit, other than having his childhood photos be seen by her. As for the love letters, Eiji sure has fun dissecting Rin's characters, though he did not expect one letter to be her true feelings as her own character.

It's all fun and games, through Rin still will need more to flesh her own character.

Not sure why, but I feel like our bro Eiji doesn't get her feelings at all right from the start. Maybe it was because the way they chat always teasing each other, so they don't really care about their true feelings.

I just can’t get enough of this one this season. I started the manga the other day and quickly learned that the anime has jumbled some things up as far as what happens when but just like the show I’m really enjoying it. For me personally, one of my favorite things about this entire story is that the entire cast (for the most part) act their age. Its not like most of the high school romance stories when the mc’s act like 35 year old jaded adults who are “daring” to love again lol or talk like phd toting intellectuals who are just trying to solve all of life’s problems when “oops” they bump into their first loves 🤦🏻‍♂️😆. No, these mc’s act like 16-17 year old kids who are discovering what these new “feelings” they are having truly mean. Its smart, cute, and I honestly love it. I hope those of you watching every week do too! ❤️

You might be right. I think it’s more along the lines of him thinking that there’s just no way someone as great as her could possibly care about someone like him in a romantic way. I think the fact that this also seems to be his first time dealing with these kinds of feelings so he’s really not sure what to think or say. But I could be totally wrong, I’m just calling it like I see it 😊

I would prefer to see more characters besides the two MCs, and maybe there are too many scenes per episode, but Nanakura's VA & animation are priceless.

I'm not a huge fan of Kitahama, and overall, it's ok, even though I was expecting something different.

i love how she feels head over heels for him but show it though character every single time ... now the question is when she proposes him for real without any acting what will be his reaction cause he is naive as hell..as per the ep it was a Lil boring ok we get the summary now where is the actually story like the relationship and other stuff if this continues then feeling will be expressed about 1000 eps after... hopefully this won't turn out to be a lazy romance story like million others out there....

EP 3

A lot of people have mentioned that apparently mr mc is voiced by okamoto. huh.
That aside, someone mentioned that the anime is basically like a collection of 2/3 min shorts combined into 20 min episode
Also kinda makes it hard to comment on. its like, slice of life is already pretty difficult to comment on, and shorts even more so
Also apparently the manga is finished already? thats uhh. hmm



EP 3, so far no real changes compared to the first two eps. It seems this is either gonna be the status quo or otherwise.
Apparently an entire year has passed already which is kinda ridiculous, that aside.
Its about the same. A bit here and there

The main "issues" is that the whole anime is just the two talking to each other. Maybe if it were 24 eps of 12 mins it might have been better? or even 36 eps of 8 mins

The relation between the two is also kinda odd, in that mr mc seems a bit to oblivious. Alas
The random photobook out of nowhere also felt abrupt

The manga "only" has 150 chapters, but apparently the anime is adapting about 10-15 chapters per ep, so the entire manga will be finished by ep 12, with or without anime original sections. So its pretty much impossible to get a s2 unless tehy make a sequel or anime original the entire thing
