Yui never misses with her jokes. I just couldn't stop laughing this episode. The NTR joke was my favourite. Kuze is an absolute pervert. The way he was looking at Alya's and Masha's chest is just hilarious.

The interaction between the two characters were balanced. I loved both.

I thought about the bathroom scene between Kuze-kun and his sister. It seemed like a joke about the "fourth wall", but what if there really was a camera there that she herself placed? To produce scenes that could be used to blackmail the future vice-president of the Council if she lost? After that thought, the scene started to get more serious. Putting that thought aside, his sister was sensational today. 1000% charisma!

@ParayBR Nope. If my memory serves me right, I seem to recall reading somewhere in the LN that Yuki would secretly place video cameras to record her brother in his room.

It just gets so tiresome with so MANY male mc’s in anime and manga .. “I’M NOT GOOD ENOUGH!”, “I CLEARLY HEARD HER BUT SURELY SHE DIDNT MEAN WHAT SHE SAID”, “SHE DESERVES SOMEONE BETTER”, “IM NOT RELIABLE”… why now?! Kuze-kun has been a cool customer until now.. when it counts of course. In all honesty if these beta males would just commit seppuku after acting this way it would actually balance it out. πŸ˜‚ Then I could say “well I guess he really DOES feel that way!” Then the poor females could attempt to find someone with a sliver of self worth… whoever first decided that male mc’s should act this way deserves the 10th level of hell and a bad case of SARS!

Another great episode, Yuki really stole the show in every episode she is major highlight.

And I can see that Alya and Kuze are slowly developing their relationship, if we can have more of that this show will be extraordinary.

Probably the best romance anime of the season.

Opening and ending theme are amazing, especially the new ED theme, it’s heartwarming and it gives Japanese love vibes:)

Alya thought Kuze was washing his hair with cold water to prevent wound swelling, but he was clearing his pervert thoughtsπŸ˜‚

I am glad Kuze-kun finally decided to be part of student council and now he contributes actively to their work. He vs Alya would be a great election for student council president.

Yuki Suou is way too jealous, she would want Kuze all by herself.

If I'm being honest, the best way to ruin a good show or episode is all the incest crap anime seems addicted to. One joke? Ok. Two? Sure. But it accounted for almost half of the episode. and wasn't necessary to advance the plot. The rest of the episode was on point though.

Great Yuki fanservice episode (she said it herself).
Kuze is experiencing teenage impulses.
A small backstory scene explains why Kuze is untrusting of relationships and unmotivated.
New character appearance.
Great episode so far more backstory and progress.

10/10, much Yuki this episode! But for real, love the antics of those two. Although she is heavily teasing I never get the feeling they would actually fuck. It just feels like extremely deranged bantering and I'm all for it!

Glad I stuck with this show. The Russian gimmick didn't do it for me and got old by the end of episode 1. Luckily the gimmick isn't used that often and the show has so many other funny characters.

Man I love Yuki so much


This girl is fun and entertaining whenever she gets on screen. Her Brocon teasing is great as well always.
"We haven't crossed walking in on eachother event"
"Onichan and Alya san NTRed me"
"The C-cup you can touch is better than E-cup you can't"
"Your male smell gonna knock me up"
That scene of her hiding under Kuzes bed to spook him was so perfect. They also memed I am struck😭😭

Yuki also showed how much she cares about her brother. Although little disappointed that it wasn't her she was happy to see someone was able to motivate her.
She has a rough childhood and Kuze maybe the only one that helped her. Their relationship is just so wholesome even with/without Wincest teasing.
First half was definitely way better but rest was fine too. Laughed way too much in all duration of the episode. Animation is so great first Oshi No Ko now this Doga Kobo just can't stop cooking.

She'll have her development arc, and surpass Yuki. A part of which will be shown in the final episodes. She'll have her moments to shine. Her character had underwent major character growth in the LN (the same goes for every other character), but the anime will take a while to catch up.

So no new Russian vocabulary to learn this week.πŸ₯²
Otherwise, another episode where you can't wipe the grin off your face for 24 minutes.

The beginning with Yuki was comedy at its best. Meta level always works! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
Then the wordplay with "Burajaa - Brother".
she just provides pure entertainment.

Alya is really sweet again, this episode. 5 weeks into it, and I'm already sure I won't rate this title any worse than 9/10.

The ED is also a real banger. Looking forward to new EDs every week and get never disappointed.πŸ”₯

@GangsterCat Yuki is the Queen of this anime for sure, but I think Masha actually beats Alya too. Don't get me wrong, I love Alya - she's the reason I'm watching after all - but man...

So glad we had a lot of Yuki scenes today.

Kuze and Yuki sibling banter was amazing and wholesome moments too, I love their character dynamic so much. They really care about each other. Also funny that Yuki actually did what she said she was going to do and hid under his bed in the morning. Alya progressively getting more conscious of Kuze, I like it. Interesting to see how Masha will fit into their dynamic given her role in the backstory.

He's not wrong, Alya was indeed cringing...because those feelings were genuine.
His parents' divorce shaped his attitude towards relationships.
gdi Doga Kobo you dare put an IMOUTO IN THE BATHROOM. Yuki up in here breaking the fourth wall a shit.
She thought her brother choosing Alya was Netorare whilst gaining the Anya-face.
Yuki's respiratory condition must've contributed to why he regrets moving away.
Shamelessly soaking his face in the basin where Alya just drank from, and got away safe because she assumed it was to numb his head-injury.
Dammit, sneek peek of Alya's armpits and clothed-view of Alya and Masha's oppai.
Oh, Sarashina was whom Masha was calling "Sa-kun" in ep3. So she and the current pres are the actual side-couple like in Love is War.

I wonder how many people will have missed the most important parts in the Yuki/Masachika exposition. Because it shows Yuki's third side, alongside the prim ojousama and the crazy otaku buddy. The loving sister who is trying to "motivate" him again. There is more to come concerning this angle storywise, but this is the _real_ Yuki we can see, when she is neither wearing the ojousama facade nor in her playful otaku form.

1. Yuki was clearly shocked for a moment when Masachika admitted that he was going to help Alya become SCP. But immediately afterwards, she put on a big dramatic show to defuse Masachika's clear feelings of guilt over it.

2. When Masachika brushed Yuki's hair was one of the rare scenes in which both of them were fully serious without the usual banter. Masachika wanted to make sure that Yuki understood that his decision for helping Alya was not a decision against Yuki.

3. Yuki knows Masachika dearly loves her - and vice versa. But as his brother/sister, _not_ as wincestuous bro/siscons.

4. She wanted to signal to him that she doesn't mind, and that he can always "come back to her". Her message was "no hard feelings, bro, don't worry".

5. Yuki was a bit depressed because it was Alya and not her who managed to pull Masachika out of his slump. Still, she was glad that it finally happened.

6. Still, she is going to fight as his sibling rival. "I'm still not gonna lose" with a determined look.

I really love this girl. Sweet, smart and a bundle of fun :)

Glad to see there are people who know but to be fair it's pretty hard to understand the whole before they reveal a bit more about the Suou household drama (which for animes onlies look like your average divorce so far) and we see the conversation between Yuki and Alya.

So let's enjoy even more every conversation since we know exactly what they tell from our knowledge on the novel and let anime onlies enjoy watching the story unfold like we could when reading without telling them everything right away.

Roses are red. Violets are blue. There are clouds in the sky. AND A MONSTER UNDER MY BED ! *heavy breath* ho it was Yuki. IT'S YUKI SOMEONE HELP ME ! *breath*

What a nice episode already showing some of the elections and Masachika-Yuki dynamics. A little bit disappointed at how they choosed to hint the Suou household drama but any adaptation needs to change a thing or two to get everything smooth.

Alya is a bit softer here than she was in the novel. I hope they keep with it cuz in volume 2 I really thought she was gonna kill Masachika with how harsh she was with him.

Notes about Chisaki :

Worst girl in the whole series. I can't stand her and I hope they will skip the whole Touya x Chisaki story from volume 4.5 if they make a season 2. She is useless and violent but keep acting like she was a cute and innocent girl. She is not. I hate her.

Welcome to the Suou hour- I mean episode 5 lol, but really I loved her part of the episode, she’s a walking comedy act, the bits about NTR and “come at me bro” were great lol. And I can’t believe it, there was actually a “help me step bro, I’m stuck” moment, except this ain’t step bro but actual bro lol, I gotta give it to Suou, the show is great in general but I can’t deny her greatness, I like that she even had a serious moment after all the goofing too, if she’s just memes all the time it wouldn’t be as fun.

And the bits with Alya were great too, Kuze over here accidentally turning her on, but then Alya went and did the same giving Kuze those “sneak peek” shots and I gotta say I’m with Kuze on that, I like being teased a bit more than right in your face fanservice, but at the same time I do love it in my face lol. And it wasn’t just with Alya, Masha also had her fanservice moment showing Kuze how it feels to be a wet dog lol, and then they went and introduced Sarashina at the end and she seems like she’ll be fun, her bit with the president was cute, damn each girl had their time in the limelight this episode. And the ED this week is the first I knew already thanks to Takagi-san and “The Angel Next Door”, a very rocking version of it, really liked it along with the visuals.
