Nagi and Erika as partners in this competition. What could go wrong? This episode sold itself as a way for the two to follow in their parents' footsteps.

"I'm jus ther fiance". Yeah, they bombed their announcement but Nagi got his moment. All jokes aside, Nagi was being honest with himself so there's that. He's going to be conscious of that kiss for a long time I bet.

Between Nagi standing up for Erika, Erika finally kissing Nagi and her speech at the end, this 11th episode somewhat felt like a season finale.
Also liked the little dance and song by Sachi and Ai, it was very cute.

I wonder what the last episode will be about, maybe the mysterious 'brother' in his fancy car will finally reveal himself? We'll see I guess.

“I didn’t want her to take you from me” baaaaang. I told y’all to invest in Erika and Nagi stocks rally. Now I’m feeling for dumb for ever stanning Hiro in the manga lol. Erika has been amazing in this season. They might not have won the competition, but Nagi won in my books.


Starting off with the build up to the festival, maid Hiro and Erika looked so good! Erika’s smile is so contagious. The way Hiro wanted to go all out and beat Nagi at the M-1 to start their own legend was sweet and all, but if anything, that obsessive fan coming on stage only pushed Nagi and Erika closer. Insane to think someone would feel that entitled to your life that they’d try and confront you over it in public. Instead of suspending Nagi, they needed to lock buddy up. Nagi looked so cool standing up for Erika though.

Sachi and Ai lowkey should’ve won too. Their little idol routine was really cute. Spin off manga when?? Tough episode overall for Sachi. Lost out on winning the M-1 and seeing Erika kiss Nagi. Does no one close/lock doors in this damn house, lmao? Having to compete with her big sis and shed that “imouto” title won’t be easy, but we’re rooting for you!

One of the best chapters of the story so far!

Hmmm. Seems like the type of story that would drag on.

@UtakaSenpai Yep, and I wonder how much traffic that offering got at the festival.

At least you had a gentler touch on his lips, but you confused the hell even out of yourself.

A battling kisu subplot, a worthy motif for any harem anime.

Honestly they could have just ended the season there, would have been a perfectly fine way to end it. Kinda curious what the final episode will be now I will be surprised if we get a season 3. Though it deserves one this shows amazing.

I gotta say though Nagi and Erika's plan was just kinda stupid to win that contest like man aint no one gonna care about your births like talk about a boring plan. Yeah sure it was a unique circumstance but like its nothing entertaining.

Erika kissing Nagi was surprising though, gotta appreciate how direct these characters are its rare for a romance anime and well appreciated, looks like she didn't even know why she kissed him lmao. Nice to finally have a good moment between them though.

Nagi's biological brother seems to finally be here, can't help but wonder if he'll have any kinda relevant role in the next episode or future of the story, hopefully he's not a bad dude or anything

Great episode generally

what's even happening man. bro got a kiss and concluded that it's for cheering him up.ffs

back to ground level. then they talked about not wanting to be taken away and being the fiancé. then stocks went bit high again.


will this relationship stat gonna be at the same level or go up? there's a big chance it's just gonna plummet down as always with this anime.

can't predict wtf is gonna happen with ts.

The elder bro looks like a flashier version of Nagi. Erika and Hiro in maid outfits defo would be a great boon to the cafe. Nice to see them have some fun at the fes though. Sachi and Ai's performance was pretty good. Hiro's way of motivating Nagi though sure was admirable. Still the contest sure had quite the unexpected outcome. Nice to see a change to Erika and Nagi's bond in the aftermath though. Always nice to see Sachi's teasing side. Feels like things are starting to escalate.

@ultramb Prediction: Three steps forward, and then 2 steps backward. Too much like another story.

Did Nagi and Erika really think they would win with that? I like the sentiment but that would definitely seem lame to an audience that haven’t been watching the show like us viewers lol, oh well, but hey at least Nagi got to punch a guy, that was cool. Also Sachi and Ai stole the show with that idol performance, I get they had the goggles on to hide their eyes but it kinda complimented the look, I wonder if they’ll release the full version of the song too. Segawa and Shion sold unfortunately but I do at least like Segawa’s reasoning for doing so, although they could have at least came out and told a joke or something lol.

Most surprising part of the episode tho has to be the appearance of the long lost brother that’s been teased since way back in Season 1, so he’s actually real lol, I would have liked a bit more of him but I do like that he was sneaky with his first appearance here, I wonder if the finale will have anything to do with him or not. And lastly, lots of great Erika moments in this one, can’t believe Nagi somehow gaslit himself into thinking Erika didn’t mean that kiss romantically but that was still a nice kiss lol, our boy got pretty flustered at the end there too, nice way to end the episode. And I hate to say it, but we just have one left already, I’m sad it’s ending but I hope they leave us off at a good point.

Nagi lore dumped in front of the school but they didn't believe it (which is not surprising). They didn't win but in the end Nagi won a kiss from Erika so it's perfect this way I guess lol

Out of all male seiyuus that could potentially voice Nagi's biological brother, they picked Kensho Ono, after all that has happened this week. What a time to be alive. IYKYK
