Two birthdays on the same day! Yeah, Jun had to be careful about his feelings. He did come up with two presents to give to Naori and Rumi though.

Naori also shows more of her emotional side. Amamiya is still entertaining to watch compared to the main female leads imo.

Naori annoys me so much. What do you mean “why are you going behind my back” yall not together there is no back to go behind he owes you nothing lmao. Fuck off. The whole birthday present smooching scene just ticked me off, I hate how she always wants to play the victim.

For those who don’t know, the Sada Abe reference was to a woman who killed her boyfriend back in the 30s and cut off his dick and balls and carried them around in her kimono. It became a big national news story for obvious reasons, so Naori is basically saying she’ll go full Yandere if Jun “goes behind her back” again, stupid since she just said a couple eps ago they weren’t together

That Rumi and Jun kiss though.. that saved me ahhhhhh I love them so much and need them back together. An actual good relationship where they help each other grow. Now that Naori seems to be done “playing nice” things are gonna get even more toxic I bet, but I’m here for it. I live for the drama.

Chief and Shiena continue to be amazing supporting characters and I love how Shiena confessed how much of a Naori stan she’s been since middle school. We need Rumi to get some fans too!

It's quite the difference between Rumi and her friend Reira when it comes to relationships, and Jun calling her out to give her her birthday present early before her game, he's really thinking of her more than Naori, being so enamored by her sports to cheer her on. It's just clear that Naori didn't care and was pushing her feelings back, and aside from Shiena finally passing her make-ups, Jun giving Naori her due, and for Rumi being first because of priorities, Naori is already at the point of emotional manipulation against Jun, but he stilll submits himself to her like the norm.

Celebrating the twins' birthdays is part-and-parcel, especially for Kamedake who stuck through the thick and thin with Naori and becoming good friends at that. Plus, the new friend of Shiena being dashing and giving handmade necklaces, and all of that was a plan to get to know Naori better, espeically since both Kamedake and Shiena werr already online friends to begin with.

Rumi is only getting better, and Naori certainly has her good for helping her twin sister push towards the basketball dream, but when it comes to romance, she'd better buck up.

Looks like things might be tense next episode but i guess we have to wait and see.
The sisters didn't seem to be in a competition with one another over the main but it's clear something is happening.
Guess next week should be interesting.

The love triangle is back in full swing this week, and both twins get to spend quality time with Jun.
Well, Naori moments with Jun always have a bit of a comedic touch to it, while Rumi moments with Jun are maybe more emotional (due to their past together probably).

In other news, Shiena does have the most adorable crush on Naori and even planned things way back to get closer to her.
She also gives the most hilarious nicknames to everyone, haha.

A very good episode, I enjoyed it!

Finally, Nyao Nyao Evolved!


Wouldn't be surprised if Naori "not playing nice anymore" entails stuff directly inspired by the Chief's grand plan to get Shiena and her closer together because damn. That level of masterminding puts Rumi's first scheme to shame.

Rivalry aside, it's sweet how much both twins sincerely appreciate Jun's gifts for each of them.

Twins are now seriously competing, time to heat things up a little.

Dayamn, Riris Kamadake out naoried Naori with the Shiena plan. If for some wild reason she were to jump into the competition with the twins, this would be a whole 'nother game. Don't think that will happen, though.
That Kiviak is creepy as hell.
Naori's Sade Ane reference is creepy as hell.

This anime started off kinda dark, with scheming by the two sisters, causing me to feel bad for Jun, because he was tossed around by the two selfish girls.

Then it kinda turned into a goodie two shoes anime, where everyone seemed to be playing nice, which honestly felt kinda strange after the first part.

Now Naori is saying at the end, "I'm won't be playing nice anymore", provoked by the other two, Rumi & Jun, meeting behind her back and flirting in front of her.

So what now? Another change in the anime, with an all out brawl between the two sisters with Jun caught in the middle?

If so, I really feel bad for Jun and him having to make a clear headed decision. 😅

And now we learn of another scheming girl in Riris, this is getting entangled.

So far this anime has been a rollercoaster of emotions and scheming, but I think it still lacks real substance.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Thanks for the context around the reference. I was going to look it up. I guess that makes it clear what Naori meant when she said she wouldn't do that without "trying it out first", lol...

To be fair to Naori, they have been hiding things from her for kind of no reason. Other than for the out-of-universe reason of creating drama when she finds out.

(Rumi is best girl though, yes)

I mean they haven’t hid anything from her, she’s just not owed day to day updates on Jun’s doings they’re not in a relationship lol.

Jun told Rumi not to tell Naori about getting the present a day early, Rumi initially hid that she'd been with Jun, the whole "tutoring Shiena without Naori finding out" scheme. Obviously she isn't owed information about Jun's comings and goings, but I assume she means she doesn't want them to actively hide things from her.

Seems like Jun can get close to either sister so both can still have a chance and makes it so no relationship can be built. It feels like the 2 sisters are battling over Jun and Jun does not do much.

This is bad as a harem since no romance can be built up with either sister. (though add in Shiena and it would be a harem)

Shiena constantly surprises me. Good job to the author when it comes to how she's written, I'll admit to being prejudice upon her introduction but her being an otaku, not falling for Jun, and scheming to become Naori's friend was unexpected. Great character, totally defiant of the usual tropes.

Naori is getting clingy. In the previous episodes, she warned that she will go all out to win him but it hasn't yet materialised. I hope she goes all out this time.

Naori's friend is a master manipulator. Shiena would just like to be friends with Naori.

So happy to see Rumi Caitlin-Curry not suppressing feelings and actually going for it with Jun, plus she is a phenom on that court. That winning shot was cold.

Kamedake is such mischievous so and so, I love it lol

Painfully this episode to what nothing interesting happened in case of character development and some characters (Naori et Jun, too bad they are mc) are just annoying.

So I drop this anime.

Why does no one explain anything?? Jun could've said he gave Rumi a water bottle for her to use at the game.

What Naori did was shitty though. She shouldn't be guilting Jun for spending time with Rumi because he's also spending time with Naori behind Rumi's back.

I hope that Shiena wins over Naori, please that would be so cute!!

Kinda rude that Naori didn't stand up to cheer for Rumi when she made that badass shot.

sure. Rumi asked Jun to kiss her, but Naori somehow being the shitty one. all her feelings are valid, and of course she would feel left out if Rumi and Jun be playing secrets.

@wilyzle have you read any of my other forum posts? I've been one of the few people who like Naori lol

She manipulated Jun during this episode, which is still shitty even if her feelings are justified. Go argue with someone else

Sweet stuff with Rumi and Naori, Rumi went for the kiss. So Shiena was after Naori all along? I still think she might have feelings for Jun. Rumi's buzzer beater was cool. Naori taking off her stockings btw.

Naori will become ruthless towards her sister from here? That should be good.

And lol. If she ends up cutting off Jun's genitals, then that's as close to a School Days ending as it gets.

Naori and the Star Wars references in this episode lol, Palpatine would be proud. Interesting bits in this one tho, I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought Naori was kinda in the wrong for being upset about Jun “hiding stuff from her” when there’s not really a reason for her to know lol, I mean didn’t they reset everything a few episodes ago? I thought this was why lol, to even the playing field, I guess really she doesn’t like that Jun and Rumi are going out of the way to keep things from her which I kinda get, but I still think she’s in the wrong here. It was a cute moment tho, I don’t hate Naori or anything, how could I with how fun she is lol.

And Rumi going in for that kiss, yeah I think I’m definitely team Rumi from here on out, I’ve had a preference for her since the start but she’s won me over for good now, sorry Naori lol, I’ll always love your pop culture references at least. Kamedake is also a great character so far, been loving what she adds to the show, we stan a mischievous pot stirring queen lol, and to find out she was the one that originally orchestrated Amamiya’s tutoring with Jun, that’s some wild stuff right there, this girl is not to be underestimated. And that ending tho, so after all that Naori said about hiding stuff from her, now she’s going on the offensive huh, okay lol, I’ve been waiting for the drama to ramp up again so I’m excited.
