| That Sayu flashback. If you look closely, there is a scene where she is naked and theres a some sort of white liquid in her hand. I hope I'm wrong but I think her guy before Yoshida makes her drink his cumshot, hence why it makes her vommit while eating good food. Gotou is a sweet girl. You cant hate her unless you are a Sayu worshipper. I hope Sayu dont get jealous of her. She can be a good motherly figure for her. Everything will be fine. Just dont do anythjng like running away and let Yoshida takes care of you. |
 |
| So this episode has taught me that Gotou is either extremely stupid, extremely manipulative, or both. "Oh, actually I really like you but last week just wasn't the right time." That is the stupidest thing she could've possibly said in the situation. |
| Sayu goes to look for work because its not good to stay in the room which makes sense, but Gotou finally confesses. I wonder why she wants to meet Sayu, we also get a brief glimpse of Sayu's past. |

kiwixcoke said: Ok wtf, why does Yoshida go out with Gotou, when there is the blonde girl who is more genuine and attractive? Cose hes into older women with big boobs. He said it himself, like 3 times already, you need to pay attention bro :) |
| I wonder if I'm watching the same show. Airi came across as sincerely afraid of getting into a serious relationship (you know, the type that involves sex) Yoshida made it clear that he isn't interested in her passively accepting they might end up fucking, he wants her to ask him out as a way of her demonstrating that she actively wants sex to be part of the deal. |

| I admit i was not expecting much from this show, but am blown away. It has zoomed to the top of my favorites list passing just about everything of its genre and most of the rest as well. It has style, depth, fine fine character development and wonderful art and dialog. It is bottom line one of the bet and most mature shows about human sharing and relations I have maybe seen ever in anime. I am so encouraged that such a fine show could emerge in what is otherwise a pretty dry season,or quarter. well done Studio and Director, VA and staff. Can't wait to see what happens. In fact i have rewatched the episodes now once already and that is very unusual for me. Let's keep going! And i expect and hope that she has invited her new and sassy blond friend to help face down the potential girl friend boss. we will see. btw the blond girl is NOT attractive really, but she is a good support role. I have no interest at all in seeing her take any kind of active role in the show. |

| i dont really trust that women but lets see... the glimpse of Sayu's past made really curious |

| Why couldn't Sayu get a part-time job earlier instead of selling her body... |
  |
| I hate Gotou so god damn much. How are you going to string my man along like that...get jealous and then go "TeeHee Jk I love you" Nah thats Bullshit. Yoshida deserves better then that snake woman. Sayu past Trauma coming back to haunt her... please protect this child T_T |

  |
| He lies to Asami instead of telling her the truth but now he brings Gotou home, what a Gentleman! Wouldn't it be better to leave Sayu in the care of Gotou since she could handle more serious issues easily which might get him arrested or even risk his job? |

He said it himself, like 3 times already, you need to pay attention bro :) I'd rather date someone who isn't fake and nosey into who I'm seeing and what I'm doing in my day to day life, then have someone with just 'big boobs' I don't think you understand my point, you need to pay more attention bro :) I am totally with you, but its not up to who we would date, its up to who he wants. Your question was why and I answered that. Maybe you didnt mean this as a question, but rather as a rant at his stupidity :) |
Shinuki_n_Reborn said: Gab5 said: I'm looking forward to people realising how good she is and that there have been a lot of clues in there from early on, if only they thought about the story and didn't focus on the rent a girlfriend nonsense. Her actions are all pretty reasonable and understandable. Seems like having a large chest, being 28 and being attractive makes someone untrustworthy. Lots a strange prejudices for her crime of not revealing her life story to her coworker. Well my friend, look around you, is a otaku forum full of "i was never able to get that super hot girl i liked" otakus commenting about romance, you can't expect much maturity, funny thing is that if any of these were in Yoshida's place they would already be dating Gotou in a heartbeat.

Yes, spot on. I don't consider myself to be the most enlightened guy around but some of the mysogyny is quite amazing. It seems that benig successful, attractive and knowing what you want, and how you want to do things makes you untrustworthy. This, in a world where we watch harem anime all the time and the guy is able to be indecisive and change his mind every 5 minutes. I suppose half of these shows are written by frustrated guys who try to base the MC on themselves, which is why we see so many stories where a totally ordinary guy is being chased by 4 or 5 women. A lot of the viewers seem to be exactly the same. Yoshida isn't anything special, all these conspiracy theories as to why she would be plotting to get him are ridiculous. She has a better job than him and could get guys that were just as good or better at the drop of a hat. Considering the main plot, I'm amazed that no one is looking at it in a different way, and everyone is thinking that she is the typical harem contestant. I don't usually use this word often because it's kinda lost all it's meaning kinda like the word simp both them are used to insult men online. But all the extremely toxic comments like "goutou needs to die" or "I want to kill Gotou" sounds like 4chan Incel shit no normal guy will say something like that. |
| This Gotou is definitely playing , she just like the attention of having guys crushing on her lmao |
| Two anime about romances featuring adult men and high school females, both of which I ship the main characters with each other and their rivals. Gotou is a nice, mommy waifu. |
 |
| the main character should just be like https://youtu.be/iIoQ-W6cHmI?t=575 |
  |
| Decided to keep on watching this anime. Yay for Sayu, nay for Gotou, as how Backstreet Boys would sing: "Quit Playing Games With My Heart" |
 |
maidcafe said: Gotou virgin? Yeah, of course... Why's that not possible? |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| Yeah yeah yeah good episode, my only question....does anyone know the idea behind the gal slang CHASO honorific? I know I've heard it before but never thought about it.  Thanks |
 |
| The first half with Asami was fun to watch. I didn't like the second half, though. I do not like Gotou; everything about her seems really fake. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| So we get a short glimpse of Sayu's past, Gotou and Yoshida meet up and dinner at Yoshida's place. I wonder how Gotou meeting Sayu will go. She already met Yuzuha and it felt like a older sister type relationship. I find it hard to believe Gotou likes Yoshida. She looks kinda jealous when he's on his phone messaging or talking to Yuzuha. So to me seems like she wants him to keep his focus on her. |

| Because we've seen similar types of plots, everyone is alrerady angry at Gotou because the most likely scenario is that she will reveal itself as the "villain" and only do that to manipulate MC and feel needed. And also, I can see a good part of the viewers wanting this to become a love triangle and root for Sayu. However, despite the fact she could have handled the situation better in ep. 1, she hasn't done anything wrong yet objectively speaking. If the show wanted to be interesting, it should go for the unexpected yet natural route: Gotou and MC slowly develop romance and Sayu slowly develops as someone more mature and independent. But that's probably never gonna happen, and we will sell Sayu develop as the love interest for the MC, which is just a really stupid decision. |

I don't get how you can make a reasoned defense of Airi against everyone angry at her and fall into the same trap yourself by declaring that the MC falling for Sayu would be "just a really stupid decision" Either is a plausible end point, it's only the handling of the journey to either outcome that might be stupid. |

Although I'll agree the overall journey is what will mostly make the outcome be stupid, I still can't find Sayu as the love interest of MC a wise decision considering how their relationship started and currently work much better from a siblings standpoint. The show could introduce arcs that could slowly change this, but they have to be extremely well written. And considering what it has given so far, it will probably develop their romantic relationship with forced scenarios. But I'll also admit that I can be wrong. |

| Yoshida is......I would sleep with him too. In a heartbeat. Gojou is.....yer a fool. What is up with her lol I liked how Asami talked about how you don’t get to choose who you meet; and you’re lucky to meet good people. Sayu has met another friend who cares for her, even tho they have just met. Asami is already looking out for her & understanding her, how sweet. I’m excited to see how Gotou is going to treat Sayu. It would be predictable if she’s just going being vindictive/mean/jealous. From the OP, it seemed like the different girls will uplift/support her. I wonder if she’s going to be kind & show empathy, just like Mishima did. We shall see! Also I love the OP visuals, it’s so detailed, shows how important each character is & looks like there would be a ton going on. |
 ๊ค 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 ๊ค |
| Team Godou! Honestly, I was thinking she's playing with him but those eyes don't lie. Don't really understand what date means when they are both visiting the restaurant regularly and she already properly confessed (she even said kokuhaku suru) but well. Now, this is interesting contrast because we have young girl with awful lot of experience on one side and vigin onee-san type on the other side. Their interaction will be surely very interesting in the future, provided they will start seeing each other regularly (my guess is they will start eating at his place with Sayu cooking for them, else her kitchen skill wouldn't be emphasized in this episode.. although other people may join too at this point). Also, Hashimoto is listed as main for this series and right now he only has side-role, so he is still waiting for his spotlight (or is this quiet married coworker actual villain afterall?). And the last scene simply comfirmed my thoughts. She was really raped (by her mother's new boyfriend?) and then she tried to suicide by jumping from school roof (or was it her best friend?). It seems the future developement will be even darker as her past is slowly unraveled. And I would bet that when everything would get finally happy to the point she would think she found the new home, the coworker guy who slept with her before returns from business trip and asks her for sex again. If she didn't run now, she will run in the future. And someone will probably try to rape her blond friend from konbini too. Else her safe return to home wouldn't be emphasized this time. We will be probably getting some carefree slice of life moments now until shit gets real around ep6-7. Edit: I just realized that OP already shown what happens in the future - she'll try to suicide again and he'll (hopefully) save her, only her phone gets wasted. And we also got snippet of what happens in the future:  |

| Looks like Sayu has a dark past and deep trauma, as we suspected. Seems to be connected to a friend, and giving the framing of that friend, potentially a suicide attempt. If this show can handle all this well at once, it'll be an all time great. |
 |
Gotou route all the way. Now that she confessed, this is even more possible now. lol |
