Alya-san is trying kill us with cuteness overload.😍
His sister is definitely a devil one lol 😂.

Suou-San she's a daring one casually harassing Our Alya-san with spicy food and with lines like "Hah, what a big baby."🤣
Alya-san still has to realise that they're siblings nothing more than that.
This ED is so Cute.

I don’t know but I’m waiting for the time when Alya will eventually come to know that this guy actually understands her broken russian… would be sooooo embarrassing though, for both of them. Also, I don’t know why every second person in this series is trying to recruit this guy in the student council, except for the fact that he’s the main character, or maybe except the fact that they are very short on manpower such that the criterion to be one of them is to be as basic as one could be plus one, whom girls fawn over, for reasons unknown.

That being that, of course the childhood friend wasn’t the childhood friend all along, and was the sister. I mean hardly matters, in the world of anime both of these segments of characters end up on the losing side, and see the same kind of affection from the main guy. By the way, Alya stalking them as obviously as someone could and later facing the consequences(in more ways than one) was… hilarious to say the least. Also, now is she gonna follow them all the way through?

I never thought Yuki would be more scary than what I'd expect her to be, she's such the biggest troll Imao. I feel sad for Alya when she had to taste that spicy ramen as she only prefers sweet foods, though.

Doga Kobo sure spent some valuable budget for Alya's fashion show and that fanservice moment too, huge props to them.

Liked the ramen portion of the episode here, that was a bit fun. Alya's a pretty generic, pretty looking character so far, think the chemistry with her and Masachika is fine so far but nothing too special for the time being. The Russian portions still feel very forced for the sake of the gimmick here but that's just what the series is so it is what it is. Yuki's character changing completely at home in her full on sister mode since she and Masachika are real siblings and she's quite the personality to say the least. Doga Kobo got to work with some of the Alya fanservice too in the shopping portion. This show reeks mid 2010s rom-com, in both good and bad ways so far. Something about Masachika's voice in this anime is a bit grating, I'm not gonna lie. Especially in the portions with him reacting to Alya's Russian speak contradicting everything about what she is saying or acting towards him before.

There are demonic little siblings, and then there's Suou. Her being quite literally in her element at the ramen shop of hell was almost too fitting lmao

And gotta love how the one thing that snaps Alya out of her embarrassment was the thought that her competition might be getting several steps ahead of her.

Well i had my suspicion since their hair and eye colours where the same but it seems Suou and the main are siblings after all.
As for Suou's behaviour well she was her behaviour already gave all she was acting at school, still funny that she wanted to keep their family ties a secret tho.
Alya probably thinks something is up between the two now the question is does she realise they are siblings are will she get jealous because she doesn't know about their relationship.
It also looks like Suou known her brother speaks Russian.

Ah, the reveal, the interactions between these two siblings is thoroughly enjoyable! Alya was pretty helpless against them.

A different ED, will this be the case for the whole season? Hopefully

So who's gonna tell her?

This is turning out to be way funnier than I expected. The characters are all awesome in their own way, though out of the cast so far, Alya might be my least favourite, surprisingly enough. Yuki is just a massive memelord and it's amazing.

0:18 I love him doing the cute voice and everything and then her doing it back is PEAK! And of course she does it knowing Alya is there to listen lol.

2:10 I really like the aura of this student President I hope to see more of him.

7:47 oh damn so she's his sister. I did think she looked way too similar to him. Lol, I love her even more now. A troll sister is best sister. There are no siblings that don't troll each other

8:22 omg WINCEST! Never though I'd see that actually in subs ever. I guess there's still the wincest route. Lets just hope this and oshi no ko don't go that route.

8:42 ....

That good morning my brother was special. Definitely going to relisten to that over and over. Though I keep thinking of Todo saying MY BROTHER! everytime lol.

10:42 Wild stalker Russian girl encountered. She's gotta up her stealth stats if she doesn't want to get caught. Also plz someone give me a compilation of her every "my Brother".

14:07 omg the eyes of every other customer lol. I wished we got some of their thoughts lol.
16:27 Poor Russian girl getting bullied by spice

17:20 True you don't really need a reason to aim higher I guess. Good ambition. I wished I had some of that. The ice cream looks good too.

20:18 this guy really knows how to compliment. I need to learn his ways. My vocabulary is limited to "AMAZING!" "Pretty!" "Looks Great!"

22:03 OMG THE EMBRASSMENT! I almost want to crawl into a hole from the second hand embarrassment alone lol.

22:18 this is a Russian phrase I'll actually use. Also love him translating for his sister. So she doesn't know Russian but knows he does. So in the end is everyone going to know what she's saying through the MC while she still thinks nobody can tell.

Alya looks great in everything.

Also, do we get a different ed every episode?

Great episode really loved every moment. Dogo Kobo is really cooking this season with this and Oshi no Ko. I don't support incest but I really love this sibling dynamic. More of this plz anime instead of that weakass step-sibling shit. Just have siblings actually be siblings around each other instead of being them brocons or siscons. And if you are shipping them the blood-relation is the good part what's the point if they're step siblings? Also from the opening is he going to help Alya run for student president against his sister? We getting a election arc? Hyped and more hype.

only Yuki can carry this anime and only Yuki can make me continue watching this generic romcom anime. her personality is really interesting to watch. so this anime wants to include all the tropes in this anime lol.

for some reason, every part of Alya and Kuze I didn't laugh a lot watching it but instead I felt cringe but that's okay, hopefully after the next few episodes that won't happen again.

the part where Alya eats spicy ramen is very funny and stupid at the same time, why Alya has to make it more spicy is really funny or dumb i think.

so we get a lot of fan service in this episode, doga kobo know what they are doing. and new ED songs? sumippe singing Kawaiikute Gomen is something I never thought would happen in this anime, doga kobo really intend to produce this anime huh.

They've been switching parts around this episode. Without spoiling, there should have been some Alya backstory first - which will most likely follow next. Which had the advantage that we got the full introduction of Best Wingtroll Evar Yuki first, but it leaves Alya seemingly a bit mundane and bland for the time being. But I'm sure this will be rectified soon.

Yuki is the MVP of this show. She makes every scene she appears in better. As a viewer not knowing the source: Just like with Alya, don't think you have figured her out already. One of the best parts of Roshidere is that all characters are nicely developed with their own motivations. This is NOT just the generic run-of-the-mill romcom.

Much more fanservice than I expected. I don't mind at all, but some viewers might be put off a bit. Alas :)

This will be more interesting because Alya will run for the election of the next student council president.

Yuki is also revealed to be Masachika's younger sister, although I already suspected that from the start. Her character changes completely when she is with Masachika, like she is more tomboyish than usual.

@Mentar I see so they switched some parts. While I really enjoyed this episode Alya is still quite underwhelming despite how cute she is. Glad to know that all the characters are nicely developed. I did have high expectations though because of the high rating of the novel so glad to hear my expectations probably won't be disappointed. The fanservice was also nice though it definitely puts off some viewers but honestly, it's about what I expected after the first episode feet scene.

Anyways hyped for the Alya backstory.

Yuki being Masachika’s younger sister answers the question of how she knew so much about his life at home. Her personality is quite different from how she presents herself at school lol. She’s basically a chuuni otaku 💀 I’m actually really enjoying this show so far. It helps that the MC doesn’t get flustered by simply existing alongside women and that the comedy actually lands most of the time without being too cringey.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

@Softhenic03 Arya will know eventually, but at least not in this season. Everybody wants Kuze to join the high school's student council since he was the vice president in the middle school (Yuki was the president) and he's a really good one, I'm not sure that will be told or not but he has real badass abilities for the job.

Gooners are gonna go crazy over this episode 😂. Best girl Yuki is here, always been my fave part of the novels.

She was a riot in this one! Seeing her composed and dignified student council demeanour at school and then at home she’s a wincest enjoying degen. One of us, one of us! “It’s only good if they’re blood related” 😭

Doga Kobo doing a great job of seamlessly integrating the fanservice stuff into the story, but not being overly horny with it if that makes sense. Like I love the scene of Yuki waking up Kuze and teasing em. He’s better than me because I’d have folded.

Alya giving Kuze a private fashion show was great, some nice camera angles, but Yuki came to cockblock at the worst time 💀 it’ll take her a while to live down that embarrassment

Uh oh! She knows they got off at the same stop now. Next episode should be fun.

Sumipe is doing such a good job as Alya but I keep hearing lum whenever she talks 😭 the ED is so cute for this episode too!

I'm guessing it's because of his sister gassing him up every chance she gets. Oh he can get things done oh he's so capable etc. He was also her vice president in middle school so he actually does have experience. I'm just waiting for Alya to ask him to join.

Still really not sure what the point is in him pretending not to understand Alya (Or hiding that Yuki is his sister. either). I mean, they heard her say something in the dressing room, but she couldn't hear when Yuki asked what she said and he correctly translated it? Ok.

Its a cute anime but requires copious amounts of suspension of disbelief.
