This M-1 festival definitely gave opportunities. I mean, Hiro for one came out and decided to take part in it.

Idk, this episode had a few fun moments. Nagi still has some funny thoughts about his recent encounters with Ai.

A cute look at the beginnings of Erika's parents love story, Nagi picking Erika over Hiro for once but still sharing some nice moments with Hiro, Sachi and Ai clearly scheming something.... pretty fun episode overall!

Pretty good episode. I enjoyed the part with the mom, we haven't seen so much of her yet. I hope we get dads perspective as well.

This M-1 duo arc basically encapsulates the whole manga. Nagi finally gets to pair up with the girl of his dreams, who he’s chased his entire life, and the whole time he’s got his eyes on Erika lol. They have the better chemistry. I feel for Hiro tho tbh. She took the boy she likes basically cucking her way better than most.

The funniest things about this episode are 1: Nagi didn’t even get into the competition for the chance to marry the girl of his dreams, he got in for the free cafeteria vouchers. 2: The fact Erika didn’t even know what high school her mother went to shows the disconnect between them lol. I mean her mom didn’t think she should mention them going to the same school? It’s also interesting seeing how much her mom’s personality changed once she met her dad. Their relationship is parallel to Erika and Nagi’s as well, rich girl, poor guy, you get the picture.

You can tell Hiro is coping about not being able to partner up with Nagi on the M-1 too. She’s saying it would be hype to get married while bucking the tradition, but realistically that’s copium. She knows where Nagi heart is :/ there’s genuine anger in those boxing punches and kicks lol.

"I'll give you two of the cafeteria vouchers we won."
How dense can even a anime guy be? How the hell did he succeed in business?

What about Hiro-chan?"
Hiro is kinda scary, even more so with the bow.

Ah yes the school fes the most enjoyable but also most hectic part of the year. The legend of the school duo sure was an curious one. The mom's confession on stage during the fes sure was bold even if as a skit. Its nice seeing Erika enjoy some semblance of a normal school life by having friends over. I can totally see Hiro as a yandere though. Can't wait to see how the festival plays out next ep.

And Nagi thought he and Erika were keeping their engagement & living arrangement secret in the Internet Age? After that mess Ai caused, I bet the ENTIRE school knows. LOL
Sort of a more enjoyable episode today.

It's cool that he'll do the event with Erika instead of Hiro, I like how Nagi's biological parents did the same back then and they even have a video proof of it xD

Damn Nagi is out here throwing with the partner swap, he had a good deal with the Segawa but the stuff with his biological parents messed with him, but hey at least Segawa turned it into something good with the whole rivals thing and going against the legend of the school festival winners getting married, I like the sentiment too, even if it’s just to make it hurt less lol. But I can’t deny I am loving how happy Erika seems with Nagi on her team, she puts up a front but that last moment of the episode and the way she looked at her phone that one time shows her true feelings, it’ll be interesting to see what the two of them cook up, as well as Sachi and Ai who aren’t being counted out just because this arc takes place at the school.

Some other things of note, the return of MC Erika lol, I’m glad we not only have the chibi Erika rapping, but the older version now too, if Erika had stuck with Shion I think she shoulda went through with that bit. The flashback bit was also really good, I didn’t think we’d get to see the origins of Hotel King and Ritsuko’s marriage but it was sweet to see, what started as a funny bit became real love, and it also serves as an example of the legend being true, heck it might even be why the legend is there in the first place.

I hope the ending will be a wedding with Hiro, she is such an interesting character, although Ai is good, Erica, well, she is funny.

I'm guessing the random guy in the red car was his brother? Really strange scene and unfortunately it doesn't seem like there'll be enough time left this season to go into it.

@FlyingDunsparce I haven't read the manga. But I'm sure that he is Nagi's brother.

I always hate forced relationships so I hate how Nagi seems to be moving from Hiro to Erica, given how all these harem series end I bet Erica is supposed to be end game but I hate it.
