And, just a random thought, but... could it be that Alec has a crush on Teresa? Or am I seeing things? I want to be wrong, let her be with Kaoru, come on...


I think the OP itself gives enough hints about who is gonna end with who... And probably Alec is/was in love with that blonde guy from the OP who I'm pretty sure is a Teresa's relative (brother, cousin, etc...). And sadly, it's probably too that best boy Kaoru will end up with nobody :/

i already have interest to tada koi before it airs, because the title is so cute, and i thought it was just an usual short romance comedy anime, but after 4th episode i changed my mine, i think the ending will be a bit sad, and there will be a dramatic love story between teresa and tada.

I like the casual approach to this story so far.
Rather then focus almost solely on Tada and teresa's probable romance and have the typical romantic back and forth with shared glances, blushing, misunderstandings, and a plethora of shyness(albeit we might still get some of those, they aren't all bad by their own rights)

instead The focus on the cast of characters going about their daily lives and taking a look at everyone's story a little bit. I'm really liking this so far, and it's really funny too. It's so obvious that these are the same people who did nozaki-kun

It's a good choice for Hinako to keep that secret about her HINA's side for now. I had a feeling she will revealed it once her relationship with pin-senpai is getting closer. That would be cute.


Note : Pin-senpai... that outfit ?? Really ??? -_-)9

Good episode, but...
1. They better not drag out the secret model facade too long. I hate the hidden but blatantly obvious identity cliche where they somehow can't tell their closest friends for some dumb reason.
2. What the actual fuck is wrong with Japan and their police? "You stand out too much in that outfit. Because you don't fit the cookie cutter Japanese male we will have to arrest you."
3. Whomever Alec was/is in love with, she better not have the hots for Teresa. If this turns into some weird unrequited lesbian romance (or worse an actual Yuri anime which I doubt) I'll drop it.

Hopefully something actually substantive happens soon. So far this has been an interesting but relatively boring slice of life anime with some romantic undertones.

Decent episode. The HINA and Hasegawa thing was too obvious when I saw a HINA poster but atleast I enjoyed seeing Hasegawa this episode.

This was such a cute episode. So, most of you guys were right as I was pretty sure Hinako was just a lookalike or a relative and not the Idol Hina herself because of her bust size. I am never trusting blazers anymore. Haha!

But I am a bit sad that Hajime couldn't see beyond the idol Hina. At least he was blushing when he gave Hinako a call and thanked her. Maybe he does like Hinako after all but simply wouldn't admit it.

Also I am looking forward to Alec centered episode next week. I cannot but feel like rooting her with Ijuuin.

Not much progression between Tada and Teresa's relationship as I would expect but at least she is aware that love can bring joy and pain at the same time and a small hint was given that she is regretting for hiding her true identity. She is definitely interested in Tada. Oh, my Roman Holiday!

Well i do have a feeling that since the earlier episode that Hina is actually the class rep because everytime Hajime is saying it she is reacting... and this episode confirms it...

Anyways the episode is CUTE AND SWEET, Hinako sure does like hajime while hajime likes Hina without knowing that its her all along... hahaha

I wonder what sort of expression Pin will make, when all this time the person he adore so much is just always with him.

I love Hinako's cute shy gestures, when Pin is describing Hina. This episode is really sweet.

Tada and Teresa relationship's development seems like at halt for next episode again, cause of the episode's focus is Ijuuin and Alec.

Well, this episode was also good and all but the main issue here is amount of screentime Tada is getting, he's not showing any development and all till now. I know it's just the 4th episode but you can't deny the fact that it's just a 12 episode series not a 24 episode series where you have liberty to fool around with other things. Having said this I don't mind the approach of giving other characters fast developments too but a protagonist is a protagonist (Even this anime is titled after him) so his development comes first. This episode was bit early it would have been better placed after 2-3 episode once we get to know more about Hinako, if they just wanted other characters development they could have gone with Alec x Ijiuin this time since they were better suited for an early development if not Tada x Teresa. That's all.

One more thing that ticks me off is the way they are handling the identity disclosures. They tried to hide the fact that Teresa was royalty by muting the conversation but then immediately gave it off when Alec called her "-sama". What's the point of hiding if you will give it off. Maybe they are hiding some other thing (one I suspect is the fact she's that older blonde prince dude's fiance or something and she'll marry him after returning back to Luxembourg, maybe that time Alec said something like this - "You are the fiance of the great Duke/Prince/Earl of Luxembourg so you should get your act together" not this rude but something like this) but still that was poor judgement. Now with HINAko's identity, again a poor judgement. It was like I said a too early disclosure (well, it was disclosed 2episodes earlier when she blushed in that unique way). If in episode 2 they hadn't shown her bashfulness upon the HINA conversation and kept this episode for later half of anime. It would have been better since by then, like I said we would get to know Hinako better. It would been better to have kept us in dark too and not just the characters.

Anyway, a good episode 3/5. Waiting for more of Tada and Teresa!

This episode are focused on pin-senpai x hinako a.k.a hina relationship

Alex, your sense are amazing. I didnt even realized it. That hina is actually hinako lol

Thus, the comedic's background sound reminded me so much again with nozaki-kun. Some trumpet instrument and "gulped saliva" sound is really awesome!!

For the Overall its good episode with pin-senpai as the spotlight.
Alex x Ijuuin (a.k.a maeno) when???

I did not notice until Hinako kept reacting to the things Pin was saying during the practice. The entire time I just thought Pin's an annoying side character with an obsession with a model and Hinako was just insecure because she couldn't get his attention. I should have probably paid more attention to the side characters rather than Nyanko-Big and Rainbow Shogun jokes...

Oh boy where to even start ...

Like i know that prez was HINA all the time, and i know the whole club (except Alec) dont know about that but Pin-senpai too ? Really ? That was dumb and he don't even recognize her at the end, that was even more dumb lol how typical, is this the route we are taking anime-kun ? Really ? give me a break ...

And of course Alec is in love, she is in love with that prince from the opening ... the other blonde dude ...

This was the fourth episode and here i fear that this show will give us absolutely nothing new with no conclusion whatsoever and with the most boring and cliche ending possible.


Lol literally everyone normal knows prez was HINA. The reason pin-senpai didn't realize cuz its anime and guys like him should be oblivious because its the anime rules lol.

Literally everything in this episode is as cliche as it can get in anime.

Have to wait 100 chapters (most probably) for pin to realize prez was HINA though

I'm just her for glorious alec though

Ooh my Hinako is a beautiful babe. Pin is a dweeb.. like Hinako would ever really go for him. I had been wondering about Hinako and the model but she doesn't really look like the model in the body.

Is the blonde girl a princess or something? Been wondering that since early on.

This episode was pretty stupid. Why only the girls realized Hinako was Hina all the time? How Tada and Hajime did changed clothes? Why Teresa is hiding the truth?

Well, what a turn of events Hasegawa was Hina all this time. I really hope that Pin-senpai will actually take notice that they are both the same beauty. Really wholesome words he had there for Hina. And good support coming from Hasegawa.

Want to see more.

Oh man, I called that. She is the girl of his dreams (like literally fantasy girl) really hot and cute in perfect mix (that poster.. :D), and his childhood friend, plus she has a crush on him. The dope better start paying attention. She really is top tier waifu.. (so is MFC for that matter) The only thing I can complain about this ep is how utterly predictable him not finding out the truth was.. I mean that certain seems like a trope that no writers/creators seem willing or able to subvert in these types of stories. I knew from the moment he was going to meet her that the ep would end with him clueless still. -_- lol

Everyone is a couple now in this series, hope they all reach official relationship status by the ending. This is going to be a cute and fun series.. barring any forced drama or other nonsense.

To be honest I assumed that Hinako looks similar because she tried to just so Hajime would like her. I knew he still wouldn't realize who she is.

Nice episode, had some funny moments, especially with those clothes, lol. So Teresa will have to go back at some point. Curious how it will go.
