| I don't like the last scene of the opening , the mc is leaving , normally these scenes spoils that the MC is leaving , either dies or just moves away or at the very least rejects her. |

Rytakahashi09 said: I still don't understand why would somebody disgusted by a boyfriend who can heal himself instantly and make that a reason to break up a relationship. Yeah that was stupid... Instead of trying to accept him she just ran away. Though she did admit it at the end and faced the monster. Anyways best episode so far. |

Um, Kuro can’t die. He is an immortal after eating the mermaid flesh. Also, he never rejected her, their relationship is wonky but it doesn’t stop, rather their relationship keeps going at a very slow pace For now , we don't know later , and like I said , it doesn't have to be death , can be simply leaving , moving to another city or rejecting at the end or something like that |

| I was a bit bothered that she knew all those details when talking to the serpent. It turns out it was mostly just a bluff lol. That 2nd part was nice. Tho I assume deflowering part was just a joke - from what I read here Kuro still didn't accept her, and she didn't hve much chances with anyone else cosidering her unusual lifestyle and being in love with him since she was 15. I really hoped he will also appear in that scene. I wanted to see that triangle. The best thing about this episode (or 2nd half to be precise) was that it still felt pretty light. A lot of comedy, not overly dramatized memory parts and quick end to the more tense scene that was fight. Kotoko confirmed top tier waifu! |

Its not really about him being able to heal himself. Its because she realized that the "monsters" viewed him as a "monster". Thats when she realized what her boyfriend really was. |

| Ahhh will they really skip 2 years?! I wanted to see how their relationship developed... that part is always interesting. Any manga reader knows if the story will backtrack and focus on that? |
| what? the cute girl receiving unjustified violence instead of the MC boy? that distant era of Index and all those trash novels with aggressive tsunderes have died 😆 |
 |
| The weird age gap romance didn't completely both me, because it seemed one-sided, but I think it's kinda gross that they carried on with it anyway. Hot take: Kurou isn't good enough for either Kotoko OR Saki, he's a pretty boring male lead tbh. His only interesting quality is the ability that scares off yokai, and even that isn't explored properly so far (though I hope it will be later on). People calling him the MC... they sure have an unique way of reading the story, I guess. Otherwise, I'm very glad Kotoko and Saki were able to interact. They have a fun Sherlock/Watson dynamic, so I hope Saki isn't written out after this arc. |

It’s right on his bio and as a reader I can tell you he does have an important role but that is for the next episodes to decide :) I would still say he's the deutoragonist at best, Kotoko clearly has more screen time and narrative focus, at least in the anime. Kurou simply serves as a love interest and plot device for now. But it's good to hear that he'll have more development later on! I actually don't hate him as an individual character, I just think he's kind of boring at the moment since his personality hasn't fully been explored. |
| Ex gf got a def upgrade with that new hairstyle! Im crushing so fucking hard now! Also not a big fan of timeskips, I hope the jump works out but Im hesitant. Also, (not worse than getting deflowered), makes me wonder how bad this guy is in bed. Foreplay can do wonders, my friend. |

| So if I take this the correct way, the Guardian Serpent story is meant as a breather to understand the story and the setting in place for the 2-year gap for a start, which is where we landed right in Chapter 15 (which was weird, but case in point, if considering the time gap). I'd thought it was strange to start with such a story, but it ended up forming the basis for the 2nd half of the episode, which dives back to Chapter 2. SO IT WASN'T FOR NOTHING. The only minor gripe that the story from Episode 2 should've ended then and there, but I'd guess that for such a heavy dialogue series as this, nothing could be afforded to be left out, and this'd be for the best. Getting into policewoman and Kuro's ex-girlfriend Saki, and the yokai rumors on Steel Lady Nanase was a treat though. Because she coudn't see eye-to-eye with Kuro having manifested yokai when he was young, their complicated relationship ended, and just like that, she also is manifested into the yokai world, with more fear creeping in. When Saki found Kotoko perchance, along with Steel Lady Nanase, she thought that it's her chance to resolve her fear, but looks like Kotoko has the upper hand again. But believe me, the short banter between both girls are funny, especially when it comes to Kuro. Great image! |

| Pretty strong start it's interesting. I really don't like kotoko tho she is pretty annoying. |
| This is more like it. Time for a fight with the ex-girlfriend. Protect your lover! Her eminent loliness. *Bows |
| In certain ways a warped version of Hanako-san this season. And almost as cute Fede_5000 said: What does Index and other LNs has something to do with this anime? that several years ago there was the tendency to make this type of anime. Nowadays, few such are seen, the most recent was Val x love The most recent one is currently airing lol, Hatena Illusion. |
| Rip oppai idol xD. |
| Return to form. Much better than the previous episode. |

| |
| I won’t say that I blame Saki for their parting or that I ship them together ... but came on, she left the guy she wanted to get married because Kappa called him a monster? And he had a regeneration? At the same time, Kotoko with every new episode seems to me an increasingly sympathetic character. She is cute without all this moe crap and her playful behavior doesn't seem artificial. |
 |
| I don't know if I buy that explanation of the swamp murder...I felt it wasn't wrapped up at all. Then random time skip out of nowhere....and Saki is back. This is getting awkward and hilarious at the same time. |

It's five years- she's 17 at the start of the anime, he's 22. The time skip is two years, where they're both 19 and 24, respectively. I read on the wiki that he only began dating her when she was 18 due to her "persistence". Kind gives me those "but SHE came onto ME, officer!" vibes, but I am glad that the source material at least clarified that it's less sketchy than it might appear at first glance. In my opinion, a two year age gap doesn't bother me too much, and I do wish they would've made him a little younger. Granted, I haven't seen episode four yet to see if his maturity as a mid-twenties guy really factors in, but I feel like the story would've worked just as fine if she was 17 and he was 19. He still would be in college, and would still have a reason not to date her at first. |
| The ex is fine but I hate love triangle in romance, please I hope there's no Kuro and ex moment.. I don't want to see that! |

| Kotoko made a good deduction in the swamp case. Wow, the time skip felt a little sudden. Pretty good episode. |

Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper.

| I thought it would be r rated like AoT.. |

| Time skip felt a bit sudden, though a good episode otherwise. The interaction between Saki and Kotoko was highly amusing. I'm a sucker for love triangles, so the squabble between the two only piques my interest even more. |
 |
| Damn, I wonder if the thing about the dead baby was true. Watching "When They Cry" and "Hell Girl" messed me up. We're never going to find out, though. The "deflowered" joke caught me off-guard, and I didn't really like it, tbh. I don't blame Saki for breaking up with Kuro: he's a yokai or something, and she's a human. He ate a mermaid. How do you reveal that to your fiancee and expect her to be cool with it? He basically has to be with someone like Kotoko, someone who's in on the yokai / spirit / ghost world. |

Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. uhhh you clearly never saw inuyasha or anime where a human and a no human can end up together. it just happens this plot wants to separate love of human and non human pairings but making the right choice? nope shes just a coward and judgemental human. being |
| just finished the ep. so does motoko Blanton say her and kuro had sex or is she joking future eps. |
| Sheesh there was a shit ton of dialogue this episode. The second episode was like this too. What's really funny though is that this anime started off by giving us a totally different impression, an impression of a shounen, but then it does a 180 and dives straight into something else completely. Lol a reunion between the ex and Kotoko |
| Damn...those are big boobs erm I mean funny end scene haha Can't believe Kotoko has actually done the deed. |
 |
| Seems funny with the meeting Kotoko and Saki, depending how weird their first met in the past, and how both of them get to love same people. I gonna love this series, besiding how weird their transition between every animation. I even feel like, this as a SoL rather a full series, idk. So after a dissapointed time skip at 2 years, the unexpected meeting, and now weird Yokai with huge oppai, what else can be great about this show? |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| that ghost sure has a big rack. funny meeting between the ex and kotoko, such a big change from a tall slender police woman to a cute lolita fashion petite girl. decent episode |
    |
| I mean, if there would be a lot of reports of the close looking person, be it spirit or not.. I in the place of police at least would suspect that maybe some very dedicated fan of the idol began doing some shit around.. Or maybe someone who decided to use death of the idol in his own favor.. Face from memes at 22:10.. ;P |
