Lol, I can't imagine some of the characters in this serie as idols. Just seems weird.

Looks like we got more flashback and background storytelling this episode. I also really like the friendship Haruka is developing between her rivals. In regards the volleyball competition, we got to see Emiri and Claire compete again. Definitely still my favorite pair in the series.

So a new girl joins and she is a bit delusional to say the least.
Anyway her plan to get friends was pretty funny.
She could just have asked people normally.

What horrible CGI, my eyes. The new girl is also rather annoying, the rest was ok.

A new member is here! The comedy this episode was very solid, Haruka and Claire are just too much fun to watch.

Seeing Shii-chan opening up to them was nice, an idol is joining the club! Also blonde mom is here, this will be interesting.

Ah, Ayasa, what example do you show to an innocent child like Haruka? :D In any case, author's gay jokes are still as funny as they are sudden, lol.

Well, I have a controversial impression about Akari. On the one hand, she's a pretty interesting and funny character, but on the other, I'm already pretty tired of idols and I'm a little annoyed by her selfishness.

This is Manga Time Kirara, and the author drew yuri artwork in the past, so I think that the rest of the volumes is also full of this. Even if it's just a bait.

I agree. Very annoying and unnecessary character at this point in the story. Doesn't add much and she doesn't fill a bikini as nicely as some of the others (let's face it, a lot of us are here for the "plot").

Twins mama is easily the best girl. Don't fight me on this.

So a new character appears today
Akari is one of those characters who tend to get easily frustrated when her plans fail, and she was hiding her past as Shii-chan XD (that commercial was too much adorable).
She tried to separate Emily and Claire, but their ties are unbreakable.
Seeing Narumi and Ayasa modeling in the magazine, I loved it a lot.
Akari finally joins the volleyball club, after realizing how fun it was to play with other girls and be considered a friend.

I still wonder where Claire kept the registration form (I leave it to your imagination gentlemen).
And finally the milf reappears ... sorry, Emily and Claire's mom, damn she is hot.
I look forward to the next chapter, where I hope we see Eclair's mother in all her glory

That moment, when you’re not sure you clicked on the right episode, for the first minute and a half, lol.

All told though, I don’t mind the addition of Akari. But, as I get older, this tsundere sort of attitude is becoming more and more annoying, depending on the character. Here, it was just beginning to, for me. Not only because I just wanted to see her being appreciative that the mains were all accepting of her. But, also because, I’ve really liked the emphasis the show has been putting on Haruka and Kanata, and even Emily and Claire, so that, it really felt a little bit off-putting to suddenly have a fifth wheel addition to the cast, to break up the momentum of focus on the other four.

But, it was still fairly enjoyable. If not quite as much as the previous episodes.

As many comments above, I was also like "What the... did I click on the wrong show?". They even made an idol style opening theme for this ep. xD

Well, regarding the episode, I don't really know how to feel about Akari. At the beginning, I found her annoying with her idea of spliting up Emily and Claire but at the end of the ep, I found her kind of "ok". Not sure how her character will develop tho... if there will be any kind of development regarding her in this show to begin with.

The rest was good. I really like the relationship between Haruka and Kanata (aside from the usual yuri bait), the fanservice was nice, lots of butt shots, nothing to complain...

And now, I'm looking forward to see if the twins' mom is as good as I expect her to be. Well, regarding hot moms, I'm almost sure this mom will be so much better in comparison with Ayano's hot but awful mom in Hanebado!.

AIDORU!!!!!!!!!

Oh...so NaruAya were the ones who took 1st place over the Thomas sisters? They're that good? Wow...

SPLIT HARDER HAHAHAHA!

Blinking eyes look so cute...

Gay.


For those who don't know what an asspull is:


EX-GIRLFRIEND! Kanata is the harem queen!

The music again...HaruKana Receive easily has one of the best OSTs this season.

Kanata's body as she was stretching...

Emily, we call those asspulls...


BEST REASON TO JOIN A CLUB!


Slight wardrobe malfunction (or art error) for Claire there...


Haruka was pretty cool this episode, and Akari is quite fitting to be the manager of the team. But now, we see a new hot body introduced: Marissa-mama! Looks like we're in for some intense beach volleyball coaching next episode!

Akari seems a little disconnected from how everyone else interacts. For now, I can put that down to being some sort of child star and not having normal friends... Strange to see her as an unpaired member. Wonder what she's going to do for the story.

That episode was pretty boring, to say the least. The "new" opening was a pretty dumb way to introduce the new character, Akari, and I find her to be quite irritating because, despite liking tsunderes myself, she's the stuck up type which I dislike with a passion.

Fun to read I was not the only one that was a bit confused I was watching an idol show for a moment. Iether way; the new member is a bit delusional, but she'll hopefully change.

Also no tortoise? Our tortoise is going to have a hard time now for being best girl of this series now we have had a glimpse of the mom of the blonde twins.

Rated this episode a 5/5 for Claire's hot body

Also A+ for Shii-chan and that MILF. The fanservice in this show is sublime.

"Waku, Waku, Waku, Waku, Waku Shequasar!"

This Akari girl look more like a wash out idol, so I guess her idea of getting into beach volley ball was to get her popularity back, man either she excess baggage or she's now the unofficial club manager.

The new girl though -- I was expecting the members to feel offended by her lame reason to join beach volleyball. Also if she is so afraid of getting tanned, there is many other sports for her to choose, why beach volleyball? :s
