You call yourself a SoL enjoyer, but this whole episode was a slice of life where they just have fun at the river. The "gag" you're talking about wasn't even used for comedy this episode, so I don't understand what your issue really is with it. Are you really that offended that they put Izumi in a situation where Shikimori gets to do something cool? If you still hate the show after the halfway point, then quit torturing yourself.


I don't remember saying anything that I hate this show lol. What I'm saying is this show is really repetitive and if you consider that as hate, then that's not my problem anymore. Yes, I enjoy SoL shows but it ain't my fault if this show isn't as good as Doga Kobo's My Senpai is annoying or other shows of the same genre.
Well, excuse me for thinking that someone who's primarily only complaining about the show might actually dislike it, crazy I know. What do you think is repetitive? I'm telling you that the part you're taking so much issue with hardly had much prominence to this episode at all, which was mainly just a "beach" episode between friends, but you don't seem to have any response to that. If you like SoL, how do you come away complaining about an episode that was almost entirely SoL? That was my question, which you seem to be dodging by whining about "hate" for some reason.

Nekozaki (tomboy) and Hachimitsu and Izumi's mother are all better than Shikimori. She gives off yandere vibes and...ugh. I guess I'm just not the right audience...

That's not the hook. He's unlucky because it's a plot contrivance, the "hook" is that Shikimori is not just cute, but also has a cool dominant side to her, and with Izumi's more "gentle" disposition this leads to a certain "role reversal" type dynamic in their relationship, which explains what you're describing. The real problem is that the anime doesn't convey their relationship nearly as well as the manga does, and it all feels a bit awkward.

I know I used to drop, but it seems that they are starting to get into it, and Izumi's gradually become the best waifu of this franchise. And I have a weak spot for pink hair, you know?



By the way, after watching Mirai Nikki's first one, I've just constantly had better things to do.

Cant get into this show after 5 eps, this isnt bad but cant find anything good about it, maybe the only thing is the MCs backstory showed in the OP I think, but the only thing I like is some designs.
I kinda find creepy the mc's parents, that old man and the young wife, he looks like a NTR protagonist and the okusan with the girl at the cooking class was weird af.

This is the first shikimori episode i've actually really enjoyed. They should do more episodes with all of them together like this. Nekozaki, Hachimitsu and Bakugo make the show more enjoyable tbh. Especially Hachimitsu

This is just a feel-good episode all throughout. From the barbeque, to the river swimming, Izumi saving a kid, and more. Also the innuendo and the risque shots of Shikimori is killing me. Probably my favorite episode so far of the series.

As a person who enjoys bbq and cooking, I have 3 stuff that annoyed me after only 5 minutes into this episode.
1. "Izumi-san, you can cook?" --> His friends realizing this after he just cut less than half a onion. What the hell?
2. Starting the fire on the bbq after finished all prep work. (On a pile of a very few coals) --> Unless it's something fast working coal, it's not something you should do.
3. The bbq grill was suddenly full with coal or whatever it was in the next scene after starting the fire. --> Bad animation planning? But this is anime so whatever.

Not hating on this anime, just getting annoyed on stuff. Also reading the manga but currently trying to come up with a reason why not to drop both of them. Maybe it's too wholesome and "cute" for me or something.

Shikimori gone sexual lol. She's really been trying to seduce him this episode.

I love how possessive Shikimori is over Izumi, even getting jealous of a little girl. That part at the end too where she took his head and put it on her shoulder.

Shikimori is so cute with her casual clothes to the river, So she has her cons too I thought she never had one, After all that cooking lessons

So peak teasermori with her licking the leftover from her smores we're going somewhere, Izumi and rivers are not the best match and there we go my boy got played like whack a mole, Shikimori to save the day holy she even showed her mommy cool side, And oh no that kid stole her kiss

So Inuzuka has a death wish Shikimori's not gonna like that, Plus that train scene is the cherry on top, improvement all in all from past episodes so I wish this keeps up.

This episode made it seem like Izumi's bad luck isn't bad luck just him looking out for others all the time to where he forgets to look out for himself and it manifests in weird ways against him. He had no issue cutting the onion because he has to help his clumsy mother and he had no issue saving that girl from going downstream. Lot's of cute moments this ep.

I never thought THIS would the the show people would complain about so much.

The reason for the manga and the anime IS the Role Reversal. Like, that's the damn POINT. So of course Izumi is the heart character who is a good boy. It is why Shikimori is the badass girlfriend.

I have seen and read, so much romance that plays these tropes and what happens? The girl is loved and they think the guy is cool. Seriously, we have seen this exact thing so much. The happy go lucky girl that is saved by the guy. It is so overused and this shit with the water has been done time after time after time. Honestly, the only things it is missing for some real Role Reversal is some "You know you're a boy, rely on me" shit.

Yes, it could have been done better, but the show has been improving. Love the manga, and hope to see her in her suits.

Fun and cute episode. I think the flow of this episode was more effortless than the previous ones. I'm happy that Yuu was only unlucky once, and that he had his time to shine, showing off that he is NOT, in fact, bad at everything. He's an ace at cooking! The jealous moments were also pretty cute and weren't over the top.

Generally the reason I like summer vacation episodes in (nearly) any anime.

That's a lot of s'mores.

There were a lot of sexually driven scenes with Shikamori this episode. Horny girls are the best girls, so I don't see what there is to complain about.

Overall, it was interesting to see a "beach episode" that wasn't focused on the beach. Though, again, how Izumi manages to elude death is nothing short of miraculous.

pretty wholesome summer semi-beach episode. Truely the last person i feel like should ever hold a knife would be Izumi, but they really threw a curve ball with that one. On the same topic, i guess Shikimori can make a dish look appetizing, but whether its really edible is a different subject.

The ending was just sweet enough for it to make me have a small existential crisis over how lonely i am but otherwise nice it was a good episode.

Oh. Izumi can cook? Then he doesn't need another good attributes. He's already prefect. Knowing how to cook wins over everything else.
