Ryo reverted back to being irritating.

Ryo looked less annoying in the last episode, but in this episode he went right back. Perhaps if Ryo was literally any other person on planet Earth, this anime would be more likeable. At the end of the day, if you dislike the main character, the show will turn out not so great.

So, Matsushima had the same otaku hobby like Ichika, even got the same fave, and somehow she bumped off to Ryo. Okay, then, what a way to explained the role of her and how its start the connection with the others. No way she destined to be ship to Tomaru, right? Cause she looked already enough to substitute the Ichika by the obviousness. Kek.

Anyway, school trip for the high schooler. The photographer also that dude, tho. How many spy Ryo got there, honestly? No privacy at all for Ichika, i see, even after she found a better pair and good experience. Rip. Tomaru did a decent job at his role there, done an otaku pilgrimage and got the nice timing. Ofc its got intervened as fast as thunder.

The reaction of Ichika really shakes my head after then. She started to compared both of them. Also she started to worry about the changed of nuance. Well, thats why you really need to escort him asap to the near police officer before!

Pretty good episode, pretty funny how Ryo has started watching anime now because of Ichika lmao. Well, he pretty much improved all around as a person thanks to Ichika, even his co-workers are noticing. Though, he still has some questionable courting methods lmao. The ending scene kinda sad, could be avoided if they'd just talk to each other about it. The way the episodes transition to the ED is always really nice though, it helps that the ED is a straight up banger.

Why should he go out with someone he's not interested in?


Well, he literally went out before with a lot of girls, no strings attached. Who knows, he might get interested if they get to know each other well. But, obviously that's not gonna happen. I'm just stated a possible path. lol. Ryo is obviously the one Ichika will choose. Poor Tamaru.

Isn't the male MC known for sleeping around with women that he doesn't even know their names? lol

A better question you could have asked is: why should he pursue someone that was not interested in him, and force his feelings onto that person?

Tamaru and Ichika has no chemistry. Ryo is getting better and better, proving to us that his deep admiration for Ichika is seriously genuine. A fun episode

I do find it interesting how they are going to write a 27year old man vs a 17 year old boy to win the heart of a 17 year old girl

I mean I am mainly intrigued by the interactions between Tamaru and Ryo and how civilized, or UN-civilized their progression towards Ichika will be. Both have faults and both have positives so I am interested to see where this will lead to.

I am waiting for the day where Rio does do something to Ryo because I just feel like he will make Ichika cry eventually and that was one of her rules when she was okay with it. However she also has a distain for Tamaru because he A. Lied to her. and B. She is Ryo's sister. So we will see.

God damn the progression was very good in this episode. Ichika missing Ryo a Teaspoon bit was actually a cute AF scene. And the movie was very good. While Ichika was impressed with Ryo It definitely made her very insecure about being with Ryo. Which again will lead into development.
Same thing with Ryo. Like he saw himself watching his loved on go to someone else.
The fact that both are really starting to take their love lives more severely is very good.

Rio continues to be the best character imo.

There is sleeping around with, and then there is dating. Ichika is the first female he's actually felt feelings for; now that Ryo has caught the love bug, there's no way he's going back to empty meaningless hookups. And he doesn't feel anything for the co-worker.

Tamaru's freaking adorable. Still like him way better.

Though if he ends up with Rio, that's at least something.

So Arriety loves anime too. Freakin' A. xD

I bet that's where the drama will start: Ryo thinks what he feels for Ichika it could be one-sided, I feel bad for him having those thoughts now that he knows about falling for someone for the first time of his life, it's never too late to change for the better. I really enjoy Ichika x Ryo relationship: Ryo's funniest really gets to me, even though I have nothing against Tamaru, I still prefer Ryo more as a character.

2:15 "We have a right to decline to be photographed."

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! :)




Can't agree more! I Love anime even at my age and not ashamed of it... Some co workers even ask for advice on what to watch or read, but the age gap is kinda embarrassing (sometimes) 😜😁😅

well now this person clearly has feelings for him tho. Guy never loved anyone before so ignoring his first love would be weird. I do agree he could’ve approached her in a better way tho.

is anyone else feeling like Tomura is the better guy as the show goes on? Like I loved Ryo in the beginning but as the show goes on he comes across less as charming and more as creepy? Like I'm kinda hoping they don't end up together... even though that's impossible. IDK Tomura's thing feels way more natural.

Ah, yes the school trip episode. I still have excellent memories from quintuplets trip so this was refreshing.

I'm rooting for both. But Tamaru is ahead for me. The title of the next episode sounds like win or lose for one of the contenders.

This might be an unpopular opinion but I would rather Ichika end up with Tamaru rather than Ryo just because of the age difference. Yes, I know that this is legal in Japan I just think that she and Tamaru would be a better couple. While I still like Ryo I just think he needs to find someone his own age, even though that won't happen. While I know that Tamaru doesn't have a chance with Ichika I still feel bad for him because it's obvious he cares about Ichika

I'm not going to lie... Tamaru is way better than Ryo! In my opinion, at least. I really don't like Ryo and it is kind of weird that he is going after an underage girl. I know this is a frequent complaint but I must relay it too. He's also kind of a stalker. I think Ichika likes Ryo back but I am hoping for a change of heart!
(I don't blame her if she's just after his ¥money¥ though! I doubt it but I can speculate lol)

The thing I’m hung up on is the reference to Casablanca. My history teacher showed it to our class saying it’s one of the best movies of all time. I was so surprised when I realized the movie Tamaru and Ichika were watching looked like Casablanca. And because I watched the movie, I actually understood the parallels between the two works Kimokoi was trying to tell.

Glad that Masuda so far is not creepy like his friend Ryo, with him tagging along as just a photographer without any nefarious reasons. Also good to see Tamaru making some moves and even leaving an impression by touching Ichika's arm.

First love is a weird thing. You can either experience it with someone your age in high school. And you’ll both make mistakes since it’s an unknown field. Or when you’re older experience it with an already experienced person that will show you the ropes. But there’s something reassuring when you both don’t know the subject, as ironic as it can be.
