| Probably the best ep up to date. Sayu's past glimpse was pretty painful and the growth in their relationships and the conversation at the end was done quite well imo |
 |
| Welp, I officially regret giving this series a second chance. Simply, this anime could be good only if the relationship remained non-platonic, but given the long panning shot of Sayu's ass, I am certainly dropping this series with extreme prejudice. |
StupidBruh said: Man bruh u got to be kidding me. Is this hentai or something. I mean wtf Hentai? That's just touching mature subect. Sex doesn't mean hentai, thats been created solely to watch&jack. Did you jack? |
| Damn that opening sequence was so uncomfortable to watch. I didn't expect that they would be so explicit in showcasing Sayu's past affairs. The way Yoshida handled Sayu's advancement like a champ. He didn't destroy what little self-worth Sayu has for herself by saying that he DOES in fact get turned on by her and acknowledges that Sayu is indeed attractive while also denying her advancements by saying that he doesn't have any feelings for Sayu so he won't di her. That was handled really well. Hopefully Sayu learns to gain more self-worth for herself cause I don't want her having those dead eyes again. Sayu's smile must be protected. |
 |
| The close up shots of Sayu in interesting angles during her attempt to seduce Yoshida is a visualization of what he's up against and trying to turn down. It's sheer carnal temptation and also a representation of Sayu's view of herself; an object to be wagered in order to repay someone's generosity and kindness. Yoshida is teaching her to realize that she has more to offer than simply being someone's object. |

| nothing but feelsweird man didn't think i'd need to see that opening thought the context of what she's done was already well enough known (felt like it was anime onl y scene) episode still made me pretty uncomfortable despite all of this it still feels like it wants its cake and to eat it at the same time regarding Sayu some of those lingering shots of her in her underwear went on a bit too long lol.. can't say i hated or loved this but it sorta needed to happen hopefully this puts the end of her trying to push her body on Yoshida like that. saving grace is Yoshida ending up not being a total creep as of now hes gained my respect and it feels like a disservice calling him a chad when he show some true gentlemen like behavior "mostly " |
 |
| I really don’t like sayu man. yoshida and mishima hive |
| oh! kinda breakthrough episode...a lot of people would say as controversial and for sure lots of different reactions...let's see... 5/5. |

| As a reader of manga i came here to rant about one thing. Everybody clinging on to it's her past mentality. Sorry but it's a hard pass. Every person analyzed based on past actions. So if she do something poor on the past it's on her and the others involved with. So whoever says Sayu is a slut it's the most profound fact. I only read this for the sake of kouhai. Author and irl person like that is the twisted ones not readers or watchers who states fact. Also stop justifying it with post modern ideological mentality of herds. There's a saying time changes and moral, laws change it according to masses twisted ego and desire. So it's important to create an adamant core beliefs doesn't change according to masses it's make your personality. |
| Everybody relates to others and shares something with them.That's why we can never truly be free.That's what makes us feel joy,sadness and love. |
| Great episode! Definitely the best one so far. That intro scene was fucking depressing, her eyes looked so dead. Her experiences has pretty much also fucked up her morals and beliefs, it's sad. She said she has a good relationship with her family, so I am really wondering what made her run away from home, well she could be lying as well. Mishima is best girl, I am really liking her personality and how she tried to talk to Sayu. And she also let Yoshida and Sayu work things out, and just to fill her in later. What an understanding best girl. Honestly yeah, anyone would be aroused or turned on if they saw Sayu like that for example. But, it's a matter of being a decent person and able to control yourself, which apparently most of the men Sayu met aren't. Yoshida is a chad, only doing it with someone you really love and someone that loves you back is how it should be. Hopefully Sayu is able to correct her morals and fix herself while staying with Yoshida. Looking forward to the next episode. EDIT: Nvm, she was talking about Yoshida when she was talking about her parents with Mishima, so it's safe to assume that she has issues with her family. |

| Mixed feelings, because I wasn't prepared, but Yoshida is man of culture, salute. Also only I would call the cops at this point? |
| Very nice episode and the colleague from work seems a nice girl unlike Gotou. We will see what will Happen. Thankfully there was not much time allocated to G-bitch this episode |
| Sayu's conversation with both Mishima and Yoshida was more emotional in the manga. Episode 3 overall was good but it felt kinda lacking in emotions compared to the manga. But I was impressed they really animated the sex scene didn't really expected that lol. And team Mishima all the way. |
| I just wish I had seen a warning for the beginning of the episode. It was a little to heavy for me but the rest of it was fine and really wholesome. Definitely want to see what happened in Sayu's past. |
| This show keeps getting better each week. I haven't seen an anime that dealt with issues like this up front without being x rated. I wondered who Mayuki was, that was what Sayu called herself before she told Yoshida her real name. Wow that sex scene was hard to watch, she was so uninterested and not reacting at all. If you have to ask a girl if she's enjoying it, then she isn't, you can tell by her body language when a woman is enjoying sex. Sayu feels like she's got nothing to give but her body, and Yoshida is starved of company. The woman he wanted, Gotou, already has a boyfriend and rejected him. It's clear that Mashimas is interested in him, and he can see that, but he simply doesn't feel the same way. He's still got feelings for Gotou and now with Sayu at home he's got the female company he wanted, so it's hard to see him falling for Mashima with things as they are. I'm sure he would go out with Gotou if she asked. Yoshida is a nice guy without being wimpy and i think he explained how he felt very well. Of course he's turned on by Sayu, but he doesn't want to have sex with her out of misplaced pity. He said that he only wanted to have sex with the woman he loves. I wonder if that's going to turn round and bite him later if he ends up falling in love with Sayu. She'll then say, "well now you love me, so it's ok". I really don't like how desperate Sayu is to give her body away to men, for Yoshida it's a real turn off and I agree with that. When you meet a woman and realise she's easy and will sleep with someone for a roof over her head (I've met a girl exactly like this at college and she was really pretty, she would chose the best looking guy at a pub or in the room and go home with him, she had family issues) it's a real turn off and makes her come across as cheap with a lack of respect for her own worth. Most guys like a chase and a challenge. |

| I'm basing it on manga, so don't know how it looks in the LN but feels like they are speedrunning the story now. I think there was a lot of development before part time job. Without proper build up everything will be just a cheap drama at this rate. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| i dont care anymore about sayu's dark past !! we need to move on , yoshida and sayu is like brother protect her sister for me !!! |
| Just my two cents: If anyone thinks this is hentai, they probably never have seen one. |
| She is almost adult (17 year old) and age gap is not even that big Not sure why some people are freaking out about this relation |
| Man, I'd call Yoshida a chad if he sends Sayu to appropriate households. Like a safe place for girls like her or to a woman/obaa-chan house or something. He's being too kind to the point that he unconsciously placed a landmine in his own house. |

Gab5 said: Yes, I suppose. I know a couple of people but one of those couples got together after one of them left the company they both worked for. In fact, she thought it was a requirement to leave and they didn't want to work together. In the UK, a lot of people meet in bars and clubs, do many people in Japan meet by that kind of socialising? Interesting, watching anime, to see the difference. I don't think Uk or USA has the same issues with communication and misunderstanding or using honorifics, but dating workmates is less common. It does make a lot of sense. Since lockdown, no one is meeting anyone!! At least in Europe, or more specificially Germany it's not that uncommon, I'd say. But I can't really back that up with numbers, just with personal experiences in my environment. |
| idk what i think about this ep, near the end of the ep there was heavy fan service on actual important scenes and i think it ruined the ep for me i'll keep watching to see if its get better but really disappointed with the unneeded fanservice. |
| Why does Sayu have to feel that way about Yoshida tho.....she’s confusing her feelings of gratitude & projecting what other trashy men she’s been with expectations on him. Can’t he solely be a guy who just wants the best for her. Why did she have to develop feelings & get jealous. I feel quite bad for Yoshida? He just wanted to help her. At this point at least. Her feelings for him & most likely his will develop too, will definitely complicate things. Great episode that goes more into Sayu’s mindset. I feel so bad for her too. Omg those KnB manga again hahahaha Wasn’t too sure about Mishima‘s character but when she sat with Sayu to make sure she would be ok & talked to her. She’s so kind & nice. +1 for Mishima, I totally like her now. An act of kindness, just being there for someone at their lowest. — This is who I am! This is part of me! Will you stay with me anyway? Sayu’s smile at the end. So precious! I teared up a little. Fate & encounters were mentioned in this episode & she has really met the fated right guy to help her get her life back together. Baby steps, seems she will get a part-time job next. Yoshida is such a great guy! Even tho Sayu was feeling him up & trying to seduce him, he looked so sad & empathetic when he could tell just how shaken up, broken & hurt she is. 23feanor said: (I've met a girl exactly like this at college and she was really pretty, she would chose the best looking guy at a pub or in the room and go home with him, she had family issues) it's a real turn off and makes her come across as cheap with a lack of respect for her own worth.

Failing to see what does another woman’s actions have to do with your turn-ons/offs. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |

But I can't really back that up with numbers, just with personal experiences in my environment. Sure, it is interesting how different cultures develop in different places. Maybe it is the type of places I've worked in. But, from my experience, Germany is so similar to the UK in culture that there is hardly any difference at all. Japan, on the other hand........ But I'm also only talking from experience so it could be that I have under represented the number of couples that get together at work in the UK. I certainly wouldn't be trying to date my boss, that would be hell! No more sick days!! haha, exactly that. I mean if someone falls for their boss, who am I to step inbetween them. And yes, I agree, Japan work culture is different than europes and (US) american. Maybe this is also a reason why it's interesting to explore it through Manga/Anime like that. (Even though it might be overexaggerated sometimes, the direction is always pretty similar; with those "Black companies", extreme overworking time and suicide through work, etc) |

Failing to see what does another woman’s actions have to do with your turn-ons/offs. Maybe i should have explained better, she had arguments with her family and didn't want to go home, so she'd flirt outrageously with guys in our friendship group and then go home with one & did this repeatedly. It was her lack of self respect, the fact she was willing to offer her body up for a place to stay (I don't know the exact details at her home, but i think her parents were strict and she wanted to party, drink, do drugs and sleep around etc) is something that puts some guys, including me, off a woman. I know omen aren't a prize to be won, but it's the back and forth of dating i mean is exciting. @Gab5 @Subenu I've known many couples get together from the workplace in the UK, although dating a senior is usually frowned upon (unless there's a wedding and then everyone suddenly seems fine). |

Don't worry, Sayu is also able to socialize the further we go into the story. I don't want to spoil too much, but the next episode will further develop both MCs :) |
