Well, it's nice to see everyone getting out of the school environment and go out on a little trip.

I actually like Ichika and Tamaru's character chemistry at that aquarium. It feels a bit different compared to Ryou. Too bad a camera guy had to be there to interrupt their moments. On the other hand, I like how this anime is still engaged in its anime cultural themes. Thanks Ryou.

Ryou's flirtatious personality still has no bounds.

What a coincidence, and I thought Ryo had sent Masuda to keep an eye on her, but that would be too creepy xdd

Well, Masuda tried his best (╯_╰)

I honestly love tsukkomi/boke comedy, probably from my times of watching Bakemonogatari and the such and this reminds me in part to that. Ryou and Ichika having similar worries and projecting theses without admitting them is kinda cute but bittersweet at the same time for sure

The Okinawa school trip with the Shuri Castle and Churaumi Aquarium.

Yeah! That's what anime fans want to do, go to the locations of their favorite anime.
The location where Ichika and Tamaru want to pilgrim is here.

Fun stuff, like how the remake they saw at the end of Casablanca had a plot that was a mirror of this weeks episode. Adult Ichika otaku OL should be a fun addition to the cast too.

Well...I am not a big fan of Tamaru-kun but he is trying his best at least...if you tried everything there is at least no regrest although it looks pretty sure that he'll lose in the end.

When it comes to other men/women the other part always gets worried...

I guess Rio and Ichika are o a trip with Matsuda as their photographer. I gotta say Tamaru has some real good bros as his friends. Good job, guys. Tamaru and Ichika were looking like they're on a date or something.

Tamaru sure is making moves now on Ichika. Can't blame him since Ryo is already in his way and way ahead of him. Rio is also being concerned about his big brother. She doesn't want anyone else to have Ichika. Just like a caring little sister. Ryo sure has a rival now. That's for sure.

Rio is so pretty ♡_______♡

Ahhhhhh Tamaru!!!! I can’t believe it seemed like he was actually going to reach out to her/hold her hand????? That was pretty out of his character, in a good way. He isn’t as timid & reserved as he seems. Ichika’s cuteness is totally overwhelming him lololollollll they are so cute together. I really like him, he’s so quiet & shy but doesn’t shy away from making the first move for the one he likes. Can’t wait to see what else he does. He’s definitely making an impression on Ichika, for her to think about him.

Ichika’s reactions & faces are always so cute lol

Both Ichika & Ryou struggling with insecurities. I felt bad for Ichika.....she shouldn’t have to struggle with that. She should seek a relationship more suitable for her age, not worrying that she’s not mature/sophisticated enough for him & about his dating history. But if they were to get together, maybe not now, I’m sure they will learn something from each other.

I thought the audio quality sounded better till Hanazawa Kana‘s character was talking to Ryou. I almost couldn’t tell it was even her wtf??????

I think this is so far my favourite ED of the season. I really love the ED♡







but i’ll probably remember over and over again

When you think of pilgrimages in Okinawa, having photographers can be both good and bad, and in this case, it's Ryo's colleague Masuda who is on the job to do 2 things: take pictures of Ichika on behalf of him, and secretly monitor Tamaru in his freeway. Creepy...

Finding a hidden otaku of Matsushima, Ryo has found an affinity for someone who likes anime, as is with Ichika.

As expected, in a school trip such as this, there's Tamaru, and he's going happy-go-lucky and bolder with every step of the way of being a rival in love, which concerns Rio a lot. But for now...it's a fairway.

Settling for a movie date between Ryo and Ichika, the latter finds herself emotionally confused between boys and men (a.k.a Tamaru vs. Ryo) while the former can't find the right words to say towards the latter in regards to Tamaru.

New-found feelings?

I think it's sweet that ichika Ryo says that he should be here too.
Its cool that they go out on the Aquarium with the school.

I like the aura in the aquarium when Tamaru and ichika coming closer was cute. Ryo is getting more and more jealous about Tamaru

Ichika is getting more comfortable around Ryou, but once you've reached a new stage other obstacles surface. As of now she's definitely feeling insecure.

I love this show more and more with every episode. It’s one of the few anime that genuinely makes me laugh and feel fully invested. Today’s sequence with Ryou and Ichika at the movies had me dying “I can’t hold the popcorn and eat the same time, maybe you can feed me?” “I’ll hold it then” lmao.

Yea the premise is somewhat creepy but it’s anime man, who cares it’s drawings.

The love triangle is coming to fruition more and more every week too. Ichika realising she’s conflicted about how she feels about Ryou and her friend. She’s going to have to confront those feelings eventually.

Great episode.

Yeah it’s getting really annoying. Literally people feel the need to just over exaggerate stuff for attention. Also like considering her own mum was fine with it and literally it’s really common for Japanese girls in their late teens to date older guys like that it’s just a culture difference. She’s literally 18 soon lol. It just irritates me like If you don’t like it stop watching it and boycott or cancel it as these people normally do. But no their just harassing the people that enjoy the show and attaching them. Like where was this energy with killing stalking or Yarichin Bitch Club which are completely morally wrong with exploitation of minors and forced rape and etc.

I find it intersting how this show is far better when the two aren't together. Ryo is funny when banging fist on railings and talking to other people and Ichika is more fun to watch when she isn't disgusted and annoyed.

First half was good second half was alright.

I am liking this show more and more with every ep. I don’t think it’s as creepy as many people say, she is 17 and most likely may turn 18 before the end of the series (I am just guessing though). I see it more about the challenges that an age gap relationship or crush brings. I don’t see Ryou as a lolicon but an older guy who has a legit crush on Ichika. But the age gap is really too much, at least at this stage of their lives . Although over time that would work itself out. Anyway not sure how it will end but I think it’s getting better with every ep.

So Ichika's class goes on a trip to Okinawa(nice place want to visit someday) along with Masuda who came as a photographer. Meanwhile, Ryo is upset that he couldn't go with her and is feeling the seeds of jealousy Masuda tells him that Ichika was hanging out with Tamaru who is becoming a rival in love. I felt scenes involving Ichika and Tamaru to be kind of awkward. It's obvious that he is trying to make some kind of move on her, but for Tamaru it feels out of character. He's trying way too hard. Who would have thought that Ryo's co worker would be a hidden anime nerd like Ichika.

I feel like the rivalry levels are increasing in this but idk for sure.

Also gotta love that kino cinema part of the episode. Kinda deep how Ryo is losing but that is to be expected really. Wouldn't be surprised if he won in the end (if he even could)

Girl goes on a school trip with 2 people (sister and photographer) keeping Mr. Creep updated with pictures, info on her whereabouts, who she's talking to, etc. Is this what some people call "wholesome"? lol

Anyways, good to see the sister is aware that someone taking pictures of her without permission is an invasion of privacy. Which makes her deliberate actions like giving out her friend's home address to his creep brother without the girl's permission, even more disturbing.

The show clearly is aware that this stuff is supposed to be creepy (it's in the anime title, after all), so it's interesting to see some fans not getting the message (apparently drawing funny faces is enough to distract).

I mean we (or at least I) get the message, but we are able to still enjoy it where a lot of other people can't because for them this is boyond certain boundaries.

A solid enough episode to keep me around for at least another week. As much as I feel that the love triangle is contrived, I can at least appreciate that they are trying to develop the relationship between Ichika and Tamaru more to at least make it a decision. That being said, all of their chance meetings are getting ridiculous.

It's amusing to see that number 1 review saying that this is about an adult trying to groom a child, haha. Yes, he is an adult, he's 27 years old, but Ichika is 17 and close to 18.. He didn't do a wrong thing aswell, besides touching her hand in this episode...People really can't understand that love has no age, can they...The only creepy thing is that the author made Ryo kinda "force" Ichika to like him, instead of actually making him do more intelligent moves and making her like him trough other situations...I put force in quotation marks because he is harmless, he just sent some gifts and talked to her on the phone, he never went to her house or stalk her or anything, he only helped when she was sick, which I found adorable.. If Ichika really wasn't interested, she could've just block him...But it's not like he is a stranger anyway, he's the brother of her best friend, it's much better than being a total stranger..His love is also genuine.. But that's pretty much all, he acts like a senpai and sometimes a little bit childish, what so wrong with that?

Besides that, the anime, even though it has some Clichés, I think that it's executed good since it makes me feel happy just by seeing that a new episode came out...It's full of positivity..Yes, the real world isn't all pink like that, even though for some people it really is like this...I can see why some people don't like it, since it doesn't relate to their lives/reality.. a lot of people have it hard and this anime skips all those things, but I think that it's vital to watch some animes full of positivity, to have a little diversity...Not every anime has to have characters with a deep edgy sad backstory or exagerated dramas...A slightly better than normal life can also be an enjoyable series..

I'm already on that ship man, Tamaru seems like a good guy for Chika, he's nice, cares for her and he has the same age of her (not that I dislike the age gap for this case tho...)

Interesting. Is that how it is in Japan? If that's the case, then it sucks in the states ...when you're out in public then there's no expectation of privacy so you can get photographed/videotaped anywhere in public. This is why you see a bunch of 1st amendment "audit" videos on youtube... (sigh)

That's too bad that there is still a sort of stigma to adults watching anime. I'm pretty much open with my anime enthusiasm at work, and it's great because I found some coworkers who are also into it. I plan to watch anime for life! :)

I thought the same. Seems like the author lacked imagination and couldn't be bothered to come up with more reasonable/credible situations. Just look at the photographer ending up being hired "coincidentially" for their school trip... Lazy writing.

Even in the US you will probably have a hard time if you go to, for example, parks and start photographing kids or teens without permission. Even if you avoid legal issues, you will still face social rejection, people calling the cops on you for being a suspicious creep, etc.

OMG! Great episode!
Tamaru is on the move! An introvert trying to get out of his comfort for Ichika. Tamaru even hurried to "help" Ichika. Tamaru is so sweet. They're at the same age plus they have the same interest so I'm now kinda confused who to pair with Ichika. Ahhh. Haha

Well, Ryo felt threatened. It's maybe his first time to have a rival. And sorry but it's funny that the plot of the movie they watched is a love triangle and Ryo imagined Ichaki choosing Tamaru instead of him. If that's the case, why not go out with one of his coworkers, that anime fan girl for example.

Bonding with your coworker over anime, now that’s the dream. Love to hear Ryo has been watching anime because he knows Ichika likes it, lots of great stuff this episode. I’m still 100% rooting for Ryo, although I do feel for Tamaru, I gotta respect that he’s trying.
