Wow. Ako's mother is hot. Ako's bedroom moment was so funny. "Be gentle" XD

Ako shooting skills... don't mess with her man normies XD

That ending was beautiful. A sweet moment. Ako x Rusian. At the end they should be together.

I think we just found the new best girl... Ako's mom! Not a very good parent though might be the worst even. Why is she letting her daughter live like that?

"Please be gentle". Damn, I would've smashed so hard. Ako is just fine.

I'm bored.

Dropped.

It's a shame they didn't keep the male form of Schwein and Master in the game. Would've kept it more interesting imo. Too many girl charas >.>

Pretty mediocre harem here. I love blonde, pigtail tsunderes though. New pink haired girl is good too. Ako is last place.

I read Ako's profile, it said that she got a habit to either being naked or only in her underwear when in her room because she feel inhibited.

I love it when Ako imitates the game announcer saying “Team death match”!

The panties scene was expected but pretty hilarious. Also, Hideki is so the man I want to be if I were to ever end up in that kind of similar situation - “Please be gentle”; slams the door in her face! Talk about major self-control! XD

They really made a joke about peeing in bottles. Huh.

Anyways, I think an issue with NetoYome is the portrayal of Ako's social anxieties. So far, none of her other classmates are particularly bullying or anything. They're curious about her relationship with Hideki, which doesn't seem particularly egregious. If anything, her classmates are still willing to talk with and learn about her, and her issues seem to stem from her self-image and self-confidence.

In that regard, some time could have been spent exploring Ako's perspective, showing how she negatively perceives the world that's, in reality, not particularly hostile. Or, if there really is bullying going on, to actually bring that up. At the moment, we fast-forwarded to Ako going into a hikkikomori mode without much warning. We've at least seen how she takes ordinary statements and exaggerates them, perceiving the as some manner of threat. It would have been interesting for NetoYome to explore social anxieties in the context of a person self-deluding themselves into think everyone's out to get them, when in reality everyone's just being amicable and inquisitive.

That being said, I don't think NetoYome's intent is to be insightful, as it bounced back pretty fast into being quirky and cutesy. In that regard, I think the hikki transition could have been done comedically, as portraying it dramatically as is makes the show take on more adolescent issues than it seems equipped for.

Nice episode, already kinda felt like a finale. I like how they connect more and more and start to really understand each other emotionally.
