So much fun, I started laughing without noticing, and damn Love how that chibi got jealous but that other gal was a bit too pushy imo about wanting alone time.

This anime is so wholesome, it always put a smile on my face ! While I absolutely love Kazama and Sakurai together, my heart just melt when it's about Takeda and Futaba. He is so sweet and considerate with her, and I love how refreshing their dynamic is. They tease, trust and help each other, and they're so natural everytime ! I love the fact that they talk about themselves and learn more about each other as well. It relies less on attraction and more on emotions.

Kazama and Sakurai are making more progress, but they're a bit more cliche in my opinion. I was very happy about this ship at first, but each new episode, I feel like there is nothing between them except boobs and Sakurai's smirk face. And so I wonder, why are they liking each other ? We know that Kazama feels attraction toward her, he is also very kind to her obviously, and not pushy at all, and that is something that Sakurai appreciates a lot. She said that she liked his kindness, but what else ? The lack of "real conversation" between them might be because they're a side couple, and I still really like them together, they're REALLY adorable, but I wanted to say my thoughts because everyone seems to love them more and so I feel alone in the Takeda x Futaba boat LOL.

We know that Takeda admires how kind, hard-working, competitive and considerate Futaba is. She is also a great cook, and for a man like him, it's perfect ! We don't really know what his feelings are, but he cares a lot about her for sure and can be quite protective in some way, and the fact that he disguises every action behind a "I'm her senpai" is quite amusing and intriguing. And when we see Futaba's grandfather, we understand why she likes him : he is just the same : big, enthousiast and protective. I feel like if they dated each other, nothing would change except that we would have intimate contacts ! Because they already are very comfortable with each other and accept the flaws of the others.

I feel like the ship is progressing, in a subtle way. It seems to me that Futaba is getting less and less flustered around Takeda, and during each episode, Takeda is being the kind guy that he is, caring her and looking for her. I wonder what he thought when Futaba got jealous, he clearly saw through it, and the little flick on her forehead was adorable too. Maybe he still don't have any romantic feeling yet, but they're building a strong connection anyway.

- OK BACK TO THE EPISODE I HAVENT TALKED ABOUT YET : I wanted russian girl to win the contest and beat Takeda, I really thought she would ! The result was still funny tho, also I always appreciate the sight of Takeda's normal clothes (and abs ( อก° อœส– อก°)
- Kazama's reactions are still priceless, I love them so much and they never fail to make me laugh ! He is really lucky, always having a woman's chest against him in some way. I really wasn't expecting him to be athletic (as a fan of video games, I felt betrayed), and poor Sakurai was so sad to not spend time alone with him ! Fortunately, they had a little date after that.
- Futaba hitting Takeda with the ball was priceless, and clearly Takeda and Kazama VS the others is unfair LOL, one is very good at the sport, and the other is a m o u n t a i n.
- The frame with everyone drinking milk was good as well, loved it.
- Takada is big... everywhere. I don't complain.

(Sorry for the rant, first time I write a message on this website !)



You said that Sakurai like Kazama for his kindness and that`s it. But don`t you think Futaba is the same. For what she likes Takeda other than kindness?

You have a point ! And the fact that Sakurai likes Kazama for his kindness is a good thing, I wasn't trying to say it was a bad thing or that she shouldn't, there is nothing wrong with that. I just feel like it could be even more interesting if the scenes were a bit more developped, with them REALLY talking to each other or going through things together. But the season is quite short and they're a side couple, so that's understandable. For example, I liked when he said the "she is mine" line and got flustered about it, he told her he saw it in a manga he had read, there is also the dolphin thing, and when he called her at work to give her an excuse to avoid a pushy guy. All of these are memories that they share together and that help to create a bond, and make them think "oh, so she can act like that, and she actually loves this thing and that, that's nice to know more about her/him." We know theu have ate together several time now, and just one little scene between them talking and eating would have been nice, you know ? I just wish we had more of these type of scene instead of boobs scene sometimes, fortunately it doesn't happen every episode.

About Futaba, sure, Takeda's kindness plays a big role in it, but the fact that they have known each other for quite some time help a lot and make their relationship more natural imo. He is protective, mature when it's about responsabilities at work and confident. Surely he reminds her of her grandpa, which can make her feel comfort and secure around him as well. So yeah, we could say that Futaba mostly likes Takeda for his kindness, but they are going through a "lot" of things together (taking care of the other when sick, helping to swim, winning a plushie, watching a movie, playing video games, talking about hobbies or taste in food, etc), and I guess that's what attracts me about them. They discover things about each other and ask questions, and I wish Kazama and Sakurai to do the same, that's all. So basically, the difference between the ship imo is the foundation. Takeda and Futaba already have some dynamic at the beginning of the anime because they have known each other for 2 years if I'm not wrong, so there is already something solid between them, contrary to Kazama and Sakurai who, obviously, as a side couple, have less screentime and so less opportunities to develop their relationship, + the fact that they only started to send time with each other at the beginning of the anime, not before.

But I guess that's just a matter of taste, and I can be biased as well haha. I find Takeda and Futaba more entertaining, they're happy all the time and they're quite opposite, so it works better in my eyes and so I like their dynamic more.

I was really looking forward to seeing Takeda and Mono face off in the pork bun contest, but I was surprised to see that Mono gave up after 2 bites since she didn't like the food being piping hot. XD

Either way, this episode was great fun and was also centered on basketball. Kazama was able to showcase how talented he is at the sport, so much so that even Natsumi struggled to keep up with his pace. Speaking of which, Kazama was blessed with luck on his side as he got to feel Sakurai's breasts pushed into him by Mono at work and then Natsumi pushed her boobs into him during their 1v1 basketball match.

The funniest part of the episode had to be Futaba shooting the basketball into Takeda's face, which then bounced back into her face. This was made even funnier when this scene got the action replay treatment, which had me bursting out with laughter. =3

The bath scene was pretty interesting, with Natsumi checking out Futaba's body to see if she had grown at all since junior high (she hasn't) and Yuto got a bloody good view of Takeda's pride and joy and I think we know what he's capable of going by Yuto's shocked expression! ( อก° อœส– อก°)

The rating for this episode isn't as high as I thought it would be, but I still think this episode is as great as most of the ones earlier. It's still one of my favourites for this season, that's for sure.

The Sakurai siblings saga for this episode, one who's wanting to excel on basketball (ayo let's go baller), and one that wants to reduce her weight...scary hours.

Well it's fun to see basketball in anime from time to time, but considering Futaba is short as shit, I don't know how she can stay in the court for that long. But it's all fun and games, the four of them went into an onsen, while Touko and Kazama went into a date (sweet).

Another really good and fun episode. Apparently Kazama is really good at playing basketball, which came as a bit of a surprise. The game was fun to watch especially the part where the ball hit on both Futaba and Takeda's face lol.
I liked how Sakurai just straight up said to Kazama, "I didn't get to spend any time with you" lol. At this point I think Kazama has some idea that Sakurai likes him, I mean how dense can you get xD.

Kurobe saying,"You haven't changed a bit since Junior High" to Igarashi was just oof lmao plus Yuto saying Igarashi should drink lots of milk, eat a lot and rest to get taller when she already does all that and still doesn't grow was so funny, he hit Igarashi where it hurts the most.

Also after the Takeda and Yuto bathtub scene I'm scared for Futaba xDDDD

Great episode overall 10/10. Looking forward to the next one.

This was a calmer episode, with no major happenings. Takeda could win the match alone if he wanted to, but he preferred to take it easy. Natsumi and Kazama are also very good at basketball, you have to have a lot of physical stamina to play for so long in a row like they've played.

Another great episode. Yuuto destroyed Igarashi at the end there with the height thing. The basketball duel was definitely a nightmare for Sakurai for all the accidental boob touch. Takeda would have probably just steamrolled everyone there. Knowing him, he probably has a 10 incher.

Sakurai self-conscious about her weight.

The Pork Bun/Ramen shop owner assumed Mono was a foreigner. She's used to eating microwavable pork buns cold (which have the filling pre-cooked).

Igarashi's tactic to get past Takeda ended up injuring the both of them lmfao

When you realize Yuuto's slightly taller than Igarashi, a working adult, already. Everything Takeda told him to get bigger, Igarashi is already trying.

Nice episode, pretty diverse interactions. I believe in Kazama-sensei supremacy.

I like Mona, I was feeling she deserved more screentime, as she appears in the OP a few times. Just look at that face:


Sakurai's progressively showing more casually her undisguised intentions, how cute:


I was expecting something of a payback, but what a turn of events:


At this point, Takeda's basically the Hulk. Poor kid's gonna have nightmares with it.

Mona challenging Takeda only to immediately give up because the food was too hot lol.

Kazama reaching enlightenment after being touched by Sakurai's boobs hahaha. And not only once, he was also touched by Natsumi's. My boy was lucky today. Sakurai immediately calling the foul though xD.

That Sakurai pout <3. I'm glad that in the end, she was able to spend some time alone with Kazama. She's really getting straightforward with her advances, I like it.

Judging by Yuuto's reaction, I guess Takeda is big in every aspect lol. That panning shot of naked Futaba while Natsumi mentioned that she hadn't grown at all since junior high...

With all that said... The double ko was too damn hilarious. Props to Futaba for such an achievement that even got some replays lmao.

Love to see Takeda teasing Igarashi once again

Yuto's basketball training arc would be fun to watch and with Natsumi, Takeda, and Igarashi joining in would be even better, That Sakurai pout lol

That team was a bit imbalanced but that makes it even better, Igarashi knocked out Takeda that's a big advantage while also taking out herself in the process, The bathhouse scene was a bit questionable.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Another sweet episode! Basket, eating competition and bath time!

More Mona but not enough! She's odd and it makes me curious.

Sakurai straight up telling Kazama that she wants to spend time with him was great. Imagine if more anime characters were that honest with their feelings.

Takeda and Futaba taken out at the same time.

In conclusion, I loved this episode!

Ahh, another relaxing ep, plenty of events and plenty of fun.

Kazama is actually really good at basketball, better than he looks like, not only is he fast but he got the accuracy as well, damn, Sakurai is just drooling from the sidelines there as he and Natsumi plays together for 2 hours, no wonder she got a bit selfish at the end there lol.

Things started to get a little... Heated in the hotspring. For some reason, the tiniest and the largest person are always the ones that are depicted to be the one surfaceing from the hot water fully nude without any coverings. In this case, it's Futaba and Takeda. On another note, if these two ever become a thing FOR REAL. Futaba's junior high body will be absolutely and completely shredded by the mister monster penetrator 3000 that Takeda has. Oh my, a bottle full of lube won't be enough to pack the big meat in such a compact body, and knowing how brutish Takeda is (sometimes) damn...๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

Finally... For some rather depressing fact... Even with a healthy lifestyle of good diet and rest, genetics will still playa huge factor to how you'll develop, or perhaps it's a condition.

A fun one :) I thought they’d circle around to Sakurai’s weight woes sometime later in the episode though. Seemed like it was just dropped? But maybe it’ll come up in a later ep.

I loved the tension between Natsumi and Kazama on the court. The two coolest, un-fazeable characters just staying at each other while dribbling lmao.

The funniest moments always seem to come from Tsukishiro. Her immediate withdrawal from the competition got me good.

Poor Yuto got an eyeful of Takeda. Though, if it was really such an impressive sight, it just brings up how that would work logistically with Futaba. If ever there was a concern of breaking something, I'd think it would be during the TakedaxFutaba ship.
