That phone picture Erika keeps showing to Nagi looks like a meme now. Of course, she's using it as her weapon.

I must say, Hiro's character role really spices up the mood at school especially when paired with Erika. Looks like she's a huge fan of Erika lmao

I don’t understand Nagi, just the other day he got rejected and even then he has the audacity to think he still has some sort of an outside chance with Hiro. Guess some of those traits which usually go hand-in-hand as a harem protag.

To be honest it totally slipped my mind that Erika was in some other school, glad they brought it up again with that transfer of her to Nagi and Hiro’s class.

Lmao Nagi’s attempt to keep the girls apart only brought all 3 closer. Big brained move. Solid set up episode for their relationship going forward. Idk why Nagi thought he still had a chance with Hiro given she’s engaged but anime logic! Looking forward to next week

Some great plot this week: https://imgur.com/a/9Eks1vz

Nagi...really just doesn't want to face reality after learning that Hiro has a fiancé, after having a fight with her for so long.

But in this case, Nagi literally has no choice but to inquire Hiro, and it has to be a secret shrine stamp book that binds their interest together other than mere studies, everything's competition to Hiro. But in retrospect, this could actually go VERY well for Nagi, seeing that this could land an opportunity from a relationship to marriage. THE ONLY PROBLEM: Erika is the new transfer student. The short answer: expelled from school, the long answer: that photo uploaded to social media that became viral to be expelled from her girls'-only school.

Not surprised that Erika's name certainly spread like wildfire because of her popular personality, and everyone is afraid to talk to her with the same exhibiting family patterns again. And of all people, the school idol Hiro has to help break the ice, but even worse, it's the crush and acquaintance getting their friendship together quick that has Nagi overly concerned that stacks with onlookers.

Hiro being Erika's fan, thought I was swindled out of her puppy tears for a moment. But even with it, Hiro being the hardcore fan sure is scary with her yandere mode to top it up. And so it is, the school life of Nagi, Erika and Hiro as the stereotypical love triangle, starts now.

How good or badly will this love triangle go?

Wow Nagi not wanting to go to school that must be a first for him. Given his feelings for Hiro i don't blame him. The library indeed is a great place to center oneself before starting class. Somehow stamp collection is something that really suits Hiro's personality perfectly. Her snugness when lauding over the amount of stamps she has was adorable. Erika sure made one hell of a first impression on her first day. Thats one hell of a strict school that Erika went to. Its unfortunate that due to her fame she has to deal with so many fans though. Still she's really lucky to have Hiro as a friend despite the complications it causes for Nagi. The morning study sessions with the three of them sure look to be fun. Overall a pretty fun ep that while expanding a lot on Hiro's character also did well to showcase Erika's transfer to their school and the effect it has on the atmosphere. Looking forward to seeing how this new bond changes.

Well Erika transfers to Nagi's school after being expelled from the previous school she attended. Since she a celebrity on social media Erika easily becomes the talk of the school. Hiro became the first person to approach her when no one else did and the two of them automatically become friends. However this causes a problem for Nagi because he confessed to Hiro only to find out that she's engage and at the same time living under the same roof with Erika who is his fiancee. What a crazy turn of events.

Never understood how Erika is this ultra-super famous celebrity. With the way everyone was acting you would think she was a major movie star or something, but all she does is post pictures of herself on Instagram. It just seems pretty forced.

Anyway love seeing more Hiro.

So the love triangle begins (nice bit of fan service when Nagi was following them). I still think that the most likely girl Nagi will end up with is Erika since Hiro is taken, unless it comes out later that the engagement was forced by Hiro's parents and Hiro doesn't care for the guy. It was nice that Nagi said that Erika is a good person and Erika later showed she appreciated that, goes to show that their relationship is growing too. Wish they released 2 episodes per week lol, oh well.

Yeah it reminds me of Komi how everyone goes nuts for her. At least Erika uploads photos of herself. Komi just exits. It does feel real in a way to how celebrities are changing compared to years ago. Social media creators are becoming just as big if not bigger in some cases than movie stars. It’s definitely a shift going on irl.

Another great episode. Again, the trope where the main character has little to no social skill when just the other day he confessed to Segawa and even declared he would take the #1 spot 10 more times so that Segawa would approve of him. And the classic 'too famous to approach'.

Does anyone care if an instagram celeb(?) is in the same school as them? I get that Erika is cute, but would the same still apply if she wasn't famous? I guess I'm getting old.

Apparently, yes. IG celebs or social media influencers got the same attention when I was in university. Being popular online do really get such attention even in-person. Could say they are in equal footing with actresses/actors.

Can you believe it, Erika is now at Nagi’s school lol, it had to happen eventually, and of course she immediately makes friends with Segawa, I enjoyed watching Nagi follow them around the whole day lol, also got some nice fanservice in the process. But as it turns out, Segawa originally approached Erika because she’s a big fan of her, I like how she immediately threatened Nagi with “I’m a bigger fan, got it?” lol.

Thankfully that didn’t hinder the friendship tho, and now Segawa is offering to help Erika with her studies during the morning study sessions Nagi and her just started doing, sad the hot alone time is over already lol, but this oughta make for some great moments to come.

Already now she goes to her school and see that she became friends with the other, that puts Nagi in trouble in case something came out about it, although it will be more than friendship, let's see what's next.

Curious to see who Hiro is engaged with. It is sad to see Nagi trying so hard even though Hiro obviously isn’t the type to break commitments. Erika is slowly realizing how sweet Nagi is despite his best attempts to brush her off. Overall, a fun and lighthearted episode.

Are you living under a rock? We have people like Bella Poarch who got dozen of millions of followers on TikTok by just bopping her head in some short videos, people today can easily get more famous online than hollywood stars by doing just pictures or videos.

Erika's awfully insistent today when she's that lazy to go to school herself, And I didn't expect Hiro to be in the library, expecting Nagi to arrive, Now Nagi's getting all delusional after that, Then trying to compete about shrine stamps which are interesting like autographs

I guess Erika got a good one on Nagi, And it's Nagi's fault that Erika got kicked out I guess it was worth it, I almost did forgot they went to different schools, Hiro and Erika are already warming up that's nice, Please show more shocked Nagi faces he looks like he's done for life

That was hot being outside it is behind the girls changing room, I mean to be fair "spacing out" while expecting a 2 sec service is impossible like Nagi getting a Hare- wait, Hiro's a die hard fan of Erika that's common even I am, Tsundere Hiro that's a first, nice self praise Nagi.

this was cringe ngl. why does nagi assume that hiro is going to tell erika abt nagi's confession and even then why would she even tell her lol
this ep was basically hiro trying to tell something to erika even though they live together so why not explain to her after school? lmao wasted ep
it took nagi 20mins to figure that he can tell erika abt the details when they get home, this anime mannn.

Well despite being rejected Nagi is getting closer to Segawa and they share the same interest, and now Erika joined their (she really got suspended for the dumbest reason ever lol) and the trio of friends Erika - Nagi - Segawa is sealed now that the two of them will help Erika to get good grades... though now the problem is to hide their relationship to Segawa, it's gonna be fun.

Man I just do not care about Segawa at all, this rivalry feels dumb and forced. Same with the social worship of Erika, isn’t this a pretty ritzy school to begin with? Wasn’t that why everyone was lamely ragging on Nagi for being a scholarship student? So then who cares that she’s the daughter of a hotel tycoon? Also, if you desperately need to get in touch but can’t get close just… send a text? So many of these setting details are nonsensical.

One of the reviews likened this series to Nisekoi, and yeah, I see that resemblance.

If you can get past the insanely high level of contrivance it's a pretty fun show, but... well, that's a difficult thing to do.
