Fun episode with some outdoors adventure and even some BBQ. Ouka and Arata still has the most awkward relationship among everyone else.

> I have someone I like now

Yeha, Minami made that sound obvious. Idk, this episode had more awkward moments than others than I remember and Arata is more conscious about the two of them.

Can’t believe I’m actually gonna be sad to see a Reiji work end next week lol.

Summer’s heating up and so are the girls’ feelings for Arata, especially Ouka who’s putting on a full court press right now. I mean, wow she’s aggressive as hell now. I respect it though because with everyone else developing feelings for Arata, you gotta make the most of the time you’re given. The way she got so giddy after Arata said he’s starting to get over Lala was so cute 🥰 Still think she’s got the best chance at winning, they just feel like a normal romcom couple and have the best chemistry. Everyone else feels like they’re playing catchup imo because Ouka and Arata had that twin dynamic for their whole lives.

Speaking of Arata, he’s still 1000x better than Kazuya, but he’s definitely getting really nervous and antsy lately, which is understandable when you find out you’re not blood related and someone you thought was family is into you. Hormones confused teenager will do that.

Minami flower garden date was sweet! It’s also fitting since Arata basically exists in a flower garden already with all these lovely girls. I wonder if there’s anything to take from the “someone who I feel comfortable with” line about the type of person he wants from his future wife. He’s been on edge with Ouka lately whereas with Minami he was very chill 🤔

That cliffhanger! Who’s writing and who did they find was “among them”?? Wonder if Shion’s the narrator since he’s the first to connect with their biological family.. finale should be fun.

Great episode, both best girls (IN MY OPINION) in the same episode.

Arata had a lot of alone time with Ouka but nothing really happened besides some really awkward moments. Clearly Ouka is trying to have Arata to herself. Another person who's trying to have Arata to herself is Minami and to be honest, Minami is making it so obvious that she likes Arata just by all the stuttering and the place she went to. I wonder how the last episode will play out. Wonder what that letter was about.

Once again the formula of making Arata good and then just giving him an annoying scene didn't disappoint this episode, his constant blushing and thoughts of Ouka were valid considering last episode. I just wish that once AGAIN he wouldn't stop dismissing Kotono's feelings just because she's young. Its so annoying and rude, its the same with Banri too.

Talking about Shions moment this episode I believe that the concept of trying to find your biological parents is fine but generally speaking and I am confident I'd think this if I was in their situation I just wouldn't care personally. I'd be fine with the parents and siblings I have regardless of blood relations.

and like HOLY HELL author can you just please give us some more of Shion and actually introduce Yuu into the show!? I don't give af if Arata's the main focus, you shouldn't just waste these characters like this its such a waste. Like dam this show is actually really good but it could be so much better it pisses me tf off.

Like you could have them teach or at least show to like Kotono a real youth relationship. Like their is so many ways he could handle Shion and Yuu yet he just wastes them.

Though after seeing the recent rent a girlfriend chapter I shouldn't expect much

I still love Banri's teasing. I wonder when she will tell Arata that she is actually serious.

Very cute pensive lips.

Arata seriously loosing his cool around Ouka. I thought he was much stronger than that. He seems to be un-developing his character rather than developing it.

"Okay, what's her game here?"
Oh, I don't Know. No clue. Who could tell with all the information and feelings you have, and at a time time when your other sibs are hitting on you. Yeah, she's totally inscrutable, for sure. No idea why she suggest a one on one outing date wearing a new and unaccustomed skirt and a shirt that reads 'BELOVED'. Yeah, I totally get your your lack of understanding, ... ...dumbshit.

And speaking of new skirt, Size M on her slim frame and fabulously toned butt? Should be rather loose.

Ouka's not trying to hide her feelings at all. She's been wanting his attention, cozying upto him and has become clingy. Sweet stuff. Minami's also adorable and has this fluffy feeling. Btw for those wondering why Arata didn't notice the tag sooner, it was hidden under her bag and became visible when she moved it sideways. Also Banri really sleeps in her undies lol.

Okay it's vacations time for all the siblings at their father's secondary house... and of course Ouka is pushing on MC but he's too shy to confront her about what he heard in his fake sleep... also it's so blatant how Minami loves him but he doesn't understand it lol

Ouka and Arata bathed in the same way, so that means they’re married! My theory is the best! I’ve solved the mystery once and for all… (Just joking)
But seriously, the director placed them in the same shot at two different times.

Another appearance from Shion, who’s still looking for his parents—but he didn’t find them and the conversation ended quickly. I think most viewers didn’t even pay attention to it at all.

Meanwhile, Arata is still struggling with Ouka, and Ouka is acting like she didn’t kiss him last episode. Personally, this is annoying because it makes me feel uneasy. These kinds of relationships are really exhausting. In my opinion, relationships should be based on respect and honesty. But right now, Ouka is forcing herself into the picture while Arata is still battling with himself—“Is she my twin? My sister? Or not?”

The whole episode, or at least most of it, is just Arata talking to himself... Poor guy— Binari, Minami, Ouka, keep teasing him.
Seika and Kotono aren’t really interfering or pushing themselves, so they don’t have strong presence in the anime...

Also, another annoying thing—why does there have to be a bath scene in every single episode? Until when will the lack of modesty continue? Shion walks in on Arata while he’s naked, the girls enter on each other completely naked, and now Binari is literally sleeping half-naked... That doesn’t even happen between siblings, honestly.

Even though I, as a viewer, enjoy the sight of Binari, hahahahaha, I still think this is a big and serious flaw.

Another average episode. Let’s wait for the final episode! See you all next week.

Damm the summer villa sure looked nice. It must be pretty awkward if you met your birth parents one day after so long. Ouka's really exploiting her bond with Arata to the fullest. A flower viewing event is the last thing i expected Minami to be into. Arata's life is defo going to get tougher fending off the girls who had fallen for him.

A very good episode. I really liked how Arata thinks head-on about the situation around him and knows that despite it being somewhat exhausting, he must step up to the plate (unlike "another" protagonist in "another" work by the same author, lol).

Minami has already started to go on the offensive, and that's GREAT, but what now? What about Kotono? She's falling behind...

I was surprised by Shion. It's clear that he was also affected by the whole situation of learning the truth about his family, but he still doesn't let it all get him down. He's a very mature character.

Nice job, Reiji.

AND NOW... WEEK 11 HAS ARRIVED
AND THE ODDS ARE MOVING AGAIN!!!!

DON'T MISS YOUR CHANCE!!!




Who will Arata marry?

Ouka: +105
Minami: +110
Kotono: +250
Banri: +375
Seiha: +1150
None: +15575




The race is tighter than ever... Who's your pick?

Anime of the season keeps going strong

And looks like the flashback is back again, hopefully with the male MC picking a girl in the end





After 11 episodes, as to which girl will the male-MC pick: It is between pink-hair and green-hair

The anime has basically forgotten about Kotono (the girl I was rooting for), and not even given her an episode, in that she has just become a background character.

Blue-hair was just there for fanservice and for the LOL's, and we all know she was not going to "win"

Banri has had her moments, but at the end of the day, shes just there for the LOL's and occasional fanservice.




Also, the anime has so far adapted the first 30 chapters of the manga. The manga is still ongoing with chapter 51 being just released.

So lets just hope that episode 12 is an anime-original-ending with the male MC picking a girl.

@LordCrueltyV He will only pick a girl if the anime does an anime-original-ending for episode 12 and stops following the manga.

Talk about an awkward situation with Ouka since she thought Arata was sleeping when she kissed him. I think he should tell her that he was awake when he's ready because otherwise I don't see the awkwardness going away. Regarding Minami, that was clearly a date and not a practice one but Arata failed to see that because he kept thinking about Ouka. Meanwhile Kotono is just chilling in the background, I wonder if she'll try anything before they leave the villa.

They might. In the first episode, there was a girl at school Arata did say he liked, but she was already dating someone else. Maybe she'll be introduced later and added to the potential list of bride candidates for Arata.

A nice and chill penultimate episode of the show, or at least it was chill for me, Arata probably suffered several mini heart attacks with Ouka being all up in his case right after that kiss happened lol, he had some amusing reactions, all while Ouka is just enjoying herself. Best bit of the episode tho was the Minami date imo, it’s a shame Ouka is on his mind while he’s with Minami but it was still a really cute outing, lovely location too, and I also liked Minami’s fit here, a bit different from what she usually wears but fitting at the same time, although that tag biting scene was wild lol, it’s a wonder no one saw them while that was going down.

But even if Arata didn’t pick up what Minami was putting down, I’m glad the date ended with Minami being happy, she’s so sweet man. Also, Shion was relevant again for the first time in what feels like forever when he brought up trying to find his birth parents, which is pretty understandable but I like Arata’s thinking on the subject, their dad is their dad, blood related or not. But what was up with that message at the end? Not sure what to make of it but maybe it’ll make for an interesting finale, I’m really gonna miss this show, but thankfully Rent a Girlfriend is coming to fill the hole in my heart this show is gonna leave, and yes I actually like that series contrary to the entire anime community lol.

I have a bad feeling about this one ending like the quintuplets... leading girl, who's also the only one who really has the guts to do anything significant yet i dislike all that behind the back stuff too, gets thrown away "as a surprise plot device" for the all-smiley while sometimes depressed/whiny girl (but to each his own opinion to who's best girl)

as to every one saying he's much more chill with minami, ofc he is... like the usual dense MC he's been too baka and oblivious to even have noticed her changed feelings towards him whereas with ouka, he now knows what's going on and it freaks him out bc he's still trying to see all of them as siblings.

banri only their for occasional laughs and :0, I'm not sure even seiha herself knows what she's in the show for and kotona really got nerfed hard, might do smth desperate in the final episode👀

considering how it usually goes in such anime, I highly doubt anything seclusive happening next week but i hope either MC/ouka can sort out their situation or minami finally confesses so we can have comparable dynamics between the top two running girls with the MC. If nothing happens next week, off to the Manga once again ig...

for those who read until now xD just watch
smth like trinity seven or 100 GFs, without unnecessary drama and plot devices

Things are getting more and more uncomfortable for Arata when it comes to Ouka. Personally, I really like Arata as a character—so far, he hasn't broken that big brother mindset, even after Ouka kissed him and confessed while he pretended to be asleep. Of course, at some point he'll have to choose someone, but we’ll see how that unfolds. It’s ironic how Reiji gave us both a solid protagonist and a pathetic one.

And it’s not just Ouka trying to win over Arata—Minami, even if she’s moving slowly, managed to take him on a date. Although, Arata thought it was just a practice run for the guy Minami supposedly liked. In the end, it felt more like a sweet outing between siblings. Still, I feel like Minami—despite being the cheerful, sporty type—gets incredibly shy and innocent when it comes to showing her feelings. Even more than Kotono. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if she's the last one to confess to Arata.

That final scene with someone writing felt almost like a spoiler—as if hinting that Ouka will be the one who wins. I really hope not, because honestly… Banri in his underwear stole the show for me.

Ouka going on the offensive all episode. She's all in and ready to go. But it looks like Minami isn't going to give up either, she went super code mode and got a new outfit. Good for her that she's still fighting.

Feel a little bad for Shion, he seemed to really want to meet his parents. At least one of the kids thought about this.

Again this show follows Rent-a-gf's footsteps in not intending to go anywhere any time soon.

Well, at least unlike that show it's also not deceiving you about big developments coming soon™️. Not most of the time anyway, this episode being an example of that transparency.
