LMAOO the PV dialogues got me good.

Another very good episode and do I smell Sumi arc now? Doesn't seem like it but the possibilty isn't zero. In any case, I'm very happy we got so much Sumi this episode, she was precious and adorable, she's grown some since her last date with Kazuya. Communication is still a problem but it's not too bad, her preciousness makes up for it.

Anyway what I don't understand is why was Mizuhara being cold to Kazuya when she thought he slept with Ruka, I mean why would she care, unless she likes him, what's wrong with this woman. For the first time it wasn't Kazuya's fault, Mizuhara was in the wrong there. Though I do understand her telling him not to rent her anymore but giving the cold shoulder was uncalled for. I guess she at least cares for him.

I think the gift was pretty good in my opinion if we go by the "what matters is our sentiments" thing said by Sumi. I liked how Kazuya attached a letter to it, seemed like Mizuhara liked the whole gift and the sentiment behind that.

5/5. Can't wait to watch next episode. Seems like booze is gonna be involved, next episode could be yabai.

The "can barely talk" trope doesn't do it for me right now unfortunately. Though I can say that after the initial Kazuya cringe of season one, the show has grown on me by quite a bit. It's very entertaining and fantastical, though it seems a lot of people (mostly younger watchers) are unable to look past the MC. The trick is not to take it as seriously.

Misunderstanding galore duh, even if our boy was HONEST AS HONESTLY POSSIBLE, our girl see him LYING AS A TWISTED LIAR unfortunately. And I might just tie it here, but seeing Kazuya write his PS like "I totally did NOT FUCKED Ruka" was so funny to me.

Anyways Sumi is back! Unfortunately she felt like a plot device this episode, used by Kazuya to know what Mizuhara wants for a birthday gift. Honestly when she cried, I cried inside too. Even then, their time together was nice anyways, they had a picture and they watched another version of Power Rangers. Also Chizuru working hard just to act on this kids stage play is commendable itself. And on a side note, this is the 2nd time we had a Power Rangers reference, the other one being Hataraku Maou-sama.

So I guess salted plums is the gift, well it's a stupid gift especially to a beautiful maiden, but hey the girl appreciated it (as well as the P.S. about Ruka) so it wasn't a total failure.

Chizuru jealous of Ruka? Lol. If she’s so jealous maybe she should let Kazuya know how she feels instead of give him the cold shoulder all the time! Gaah!

Sumi is so damn precious! That was a really cute date. She only said like 2 words the whole time, but she was so cute! I wasn’t expecting to see Chizuru as the Pink Ranger. But anyways, I feel bad for Sumi. She has a little crush on Kazuya even though she knows he’s totally obsessed with Chizuru. I mean Chizuru is best girl, but Sumi is a contender lol.

Kazuya might be an awkward pathetic pervy loser on the surface, but he’s a pretty good dude deep down. I can kind of see why Ruka and Sumi like him. I mean he’s got a looong way to go as a person, but he’s not a terrible dude deep down imo.

Thank God Mami wasn't in this one, great ep overall. Kazuya has come a long way looking back at season 1, and seeing Chizuru getting more and more drawn to Kazuya feels like all the things he did to get closer to her are finally paying off.

Yippee... Tis Sumi time eventually. Personally I think Sumi should just write him off to experience because he is obsessed with grumpy-kun, who takes offence at everything. Frankly he needs to realise if she is like this as a rented girlfriend/neighbour then she will be 10000 times worse if/when they get serious. Stick with Sumi lad, she is numba 1!
May the Uguu be with you.

Decent episode despite the fact that it literally began with Kazuya ogling her like crazy and the show making fun of him as usual. Rental Komi-San's screentime is so soothing to watch. Glad we got to see more of her since she gets the least screentime out of all the girls.

Are you sure you are not the one here being a manipulative liar?

I'm being a manipulative liar, for calling Kazuya out? I don't think you know what manipulative liar means. And no he isn't telling the truth. He is technically lying because he didn't "keep it" in his pants. He masturbated in the shower thinking about how cute Ruka is and how much he wanted to have sex with her. The only reason he didn't is because he's a mega simp for Mizuhara. Second your really grasping at straws here I never once said I'm equating masturbation to acutally having sex. Have fun defending your pathetic MC that you love so much.

Are you sure you know too? how is he being manipulative? Mizuhara is the one that suddenly started to treat him cold despite making it clear they have nothing, she's the one guilt tripping Kazuya into thinking he did something bad, he literally did nothing bad, she thinks he and Ruka did some sexual thing due to the stuff she screamed in the day before, they didn't, he didn't touched her, not even a kiss or hug, so again, how he is being a manipulative liar for saying the he didn't do anything with Ruka when he didn't do anything with Ruka? You're trying to pass some fantasy masturbation as a proof of him being a liar when he din't said any lie, that's what i call being manipulative.

And btw, MC that i love so much? hahahaha did you get this from where? you sure like to grasp at straws huh xD

Honestly at this point with all the bullshit Kazuya puts Mizuhara through. Not to mention how chaotic Ruka is, Mizuhara has the right to know if Kazuya is taking the alleged relationship he has with Ruka seriously. She doesn't know how Kazyua treats Ruka at every waking moment. However she is aware of his libido problem. So she doesn't know if they're relationship is really at that level. If it is and Kazuya is renting her out, guess what Kazuya's an even bigger scumbag than she thought. Mizuhara doesn't and shouldnt want anything to do with it. The only reason she's going in with Kazuya's original lie is because it involves her grandma.

Have you not seen the first season of this show. Kazuya is constantly lieing to his friends and family about how he has a girlfriend. He brags to his to friends about his super hot girlfriend in order to rub into their faces. He makes his parents think that he's on the right track. Makes his parents think that he is spending that college money wisely. Keep in mind they gave him that money for college expenses. Thanks to Mizuhara being his "girlfriend" his grandma is a little more proud of him. Tricks the Mizuhara's grandma into thinking Kayuza is a stand up guy, and the one for Mizuhara. All these things are based on a lie, a lie in order to make himself look better for others. In doing so he constantly inconveniences Mizuhara. She had to drop everything on her vacation day with friends in order to help Kazuya's friends to stop doubting his fake relationship. He holds the but your grandma and my grandma card against her so much. She loves her grandma she's her only family. "Dude done nothing wrong" lol yeah right. He's in this weird situation in the first place because of his lies.

Bro that masturbation that Kazuya did even though he wants to keep himself pure for Mizuhara, what a fucking joke. He pulled out and beat off because he's thinking about having sex with her. He may not have done anything with Ruka but Damm did he really want to. Dude didn't keep his desires in his pants.

Called you a manipulative liar because you liked to twist my words around so much. And from how much you didn't like what I said yeah its not bad to assume you like Kazuya. Or at least as much as to defend this dude.

Three days after that and it became cold and his apartment became a dump that quick, I didn't understand the niche before in season one what was the point of the other girls especially Ruka and Sumi now I understood they're underappreciated

Well it does feel like a monologue instead of a dialogue between Kazuya and Sumi so I understand if some people don't like it but It feels so wholesome seeing Sumi back in the show again and is underappreciated, It's the same for Komi but compared to Sumi she's presented as a blank and quiet character

So long Sumi's screentime it's all downhill from here.

Sumi is so cute, but it's sad we may not see her much this season (we need an adaptation of her spin-off manga).

This episode was decent, not the worst episode this season (Sumi automatically makes the episode at least average, everything else is from Kazuya being a decent person for once). The beginning is a perfect example of the boy who cried wolf. Kazuya is so damn horny all the time, the first time he was telling the truth about keeping it in his pants she didn't even believe him.

Even though that I have previously defended Kazuya on here (mostly), I found him quite annoying with all of his self doubt, and such.

It was interesting to see Sumi in this episode, though she obviously still has a lot of shyness problems. And she first shows Kazuya what type of gift to give Chizuru, then she flat out tell him (though by textual means, because of sad shyness). It was really good advice,


Hopefully, Kazuya Will be less annoying in the next episode though.

Sumi really seems like the kind of character Kazuya should end up with. She’s a more realistic fit and I could really see her quiet sensitivity being something that would mature Kazuya. Her personality would cause him to actually have to become considerate, better at listening and more emotionally intelligent.

Still think Chizuru is the best girl and the one he’ll continue to go for of course but Sumi is a close second that I’ve come to enjoy.

I hate how Chizuru threw assumptions about Kazuya, sour plums aren't cheap either, yet she was disappointed before she tried to be happy about it.

Some parts of the animations felt off. But Sumi was nice.

Well it's not surprising Chizuru got somewhat mad thinking he did it with Ruka but well it's also her birthday and of course you would have Kazuya all simp spending the day to find which present he could gift her but that was a nice occasion to get a date with Sumi especially how we didn't see her much so it was cute especially when she managed to speak in the end... also surprising that Chizuru has also a sentai work at the same time but well no matter what acting she could do to train she will do it it seems like. At least she got the present and seems to have liked it, since it's also somewhat original coming from him.

I’m not really sure this is a true harem show because Kazuya has pretty much chosen Chizuru and desperately goes out of his way not to get physical with the other girls. And it’s obvious at this point that Chizuru has feelings for Kazuya, she was upset thinking he had sex with Ruka and couldn’t focus on her acting practice. So if one of them confessed right now it should be “show over”. But we can’t have that just yet, because this stuff is too much fun to watch!!
