| Best episode so far. Much, much needed back story |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| The Obligatory Bunkasai Episode. I knew it, when Izumi mentioned about someone else in the Library. Ohh it must be the Volley Ball Girl Kamiya. MVP Student Council President. That was a cute backstory. I like how Hachimitsu breaking the fourth wall. Wow the cliffhanger, that was so obvious lol Things are getting spicy for next episode. |

| Did Hachimitsu.... break the fourth wall? Is she aware her reality isn't real? 😳 |
| Also another beautiful track playing during the confession, really hope we get a soundtrack release soon. |
| Oh look, Izumi actually good at sewing, and lets see if its trigger more edgelord to scream on him. But unfortunately its not affecting much here, for various reason, which is actually quite sad to be seen xd. The fuck? The dead-eyes girl can twisted her arm like that? And she also temporarily become a narrator. Kekw moment. It's nice to have something new on this restarting arc for the Shikimori-san not just a cutie. I am wondering when Kamiya-san get a proper introduce. Here comes her cool moment, already pushing the poor boy Izumi into the bookshelf hardly enough and force telling her a pretty cute tale of the youth of their confession memory they shared together at those very much similar moment they had there.... Idk what's so importance about Izumi getting Hisoka number there, but there must be some great trade occur next. Though its still weird how Shikimori-san couldn't find Kamiya number there. But anyway, let's just see next! |

| Honestly I'm more shocked Izumi was the one to ask Shikimori out, I would've sworn it would've been the other way around |
 |
| Why are they bringing Kamiya in suddenly between our couple aaaaaaaaaaa, doesn't matter if Kamiya is interested in Shikimori or Izumi, it's gonna cause problem either way. Anyway, this was such a great and cute episode, enjoyed a lot. We learnt about how Shikimori and Izumi met and it was really cute, I really liked how Shikimori was there from him from the start, they didn't even start dating but she was ready to help him. Also, the way she pulled Izumi close to her after confession was really cute. It's really fun watching pouting Shikimori and embarassed/nervous Shikimori lol. Kamiya is decent, nowhere as good as our Shikimori though. 5/5. |

| How did I know that Kamiya would have a crush on Shikimori. Also did Yui break the forth wall while explaining the couples game?? I wasn't expecting Izumi to be that much taller than Shikimori lol what was also funny is that Neko was a cat and Inu was a dog |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| Kamiya going full yuri route huh... 4/5. |
 |
| Nice, I liked the backstory explaining how Izumi and Shikimori ended up together. It was really needed! Izumi really won the lottery of a lifetime considering his bad luck! And what's better he managed to confess his love against all odds. Though I'm pretty sure Shikimori would have taken the lead if he didn't confess back then lol UNLESS there could have been another route if this episode is implying something else :P |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| Direction still feels flat as always, Izumi continues being annoying. And of course deals with bad luck as always, which feels so contrived. But yeah :I I don't think I want to continue any further, I liked the manga, but this is just something else... |
| August 6th 2023: Biggest upset ever, deception, selfishness, or scammed, manipulated. Heavy damage costs, and more. Days since: 15 Last updated: 8/21/2023 One Piece Episode 1041 & 1042 & 1047 & 1048 & 95.75%/1049 & 1053 were a mistake and Uta brought the salvation -AhriTheS3xyFox |
| I sensed something is bound to happen with Izumi + needles, Hachimitsu's about to become some high school girl mech or some shit I saw that skit show and it's hilarious all you need is to play the OP there Floppy ear Shikimori is not it I guess maybe the Mai bunny outfit would be nice, Another day another save by Shikimori, Kamiya is underratedly beautiful but can't top Shikimori well she looks like Inosuke, Is she out for blood or the number Finally we're seeing some flashbacks, She's still as cute as before not really much changed, Uh oh we got a rule roland on our hands uh ackshually you can't do that until he did break it himself my man is a saver. When you're single and you see a couple of cuckoos at school flirting every single time |

| Kamiya bad fr but other than that this episode was aight. read the manga. |
 |
| Wow bunkasai episode. Izumi is surrounded by cool girls lol. |
 |
| The school festival. Thanks to that of the festival numbers, Izumi and Shikimori started to become a couple. It was nice. But now, they didn't get the same one. Kamiya got the same one as Izumi, let's see what happens. Good chapter, Kamiya is very pretty. |
| So the School festival episode begins and it looks cute. Well we also got see past events that eventually led to the confession and it was cute. Izumis's bad luck was changed by Mii chan and the cultured president (I am sure the president secretly loves romcom and is a great wingman). Kamiya san looks quite assertive and cute as well. I dont know why but her character design looks like something from the Nasuverse or Ufotable. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| I want to kms, when does this get good lolz, I mean shit when do we see shimori's alpha sigma attitude attribute to any epicness? |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| That was a pretty cute backstory. I'm not surprised it was Kamiya who had the number. And, I thought she was going to be a potential obstacle, but at the rate we're going I doubt anything should shake the foundation of this ShikimorixIzumi ship. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| lol in the end they didn't even show the numbers during that picture (at 20:10) |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| Kamiya has quite a calm sultry voice and manner of speaking. |

| Finally a bit of backstory explain how Shikimori and Izumi dated. Seems like they both kinda liked each other for a while, and the festival just gave them both an opportunity to ask one another out. Now really just begs the question to how they met and what development each of them went through to like each other so much. Kamiya was cool this ep. Ngl i'm having trouble wondering if she was more jealous of Shikimori dating Izumi, or Izumi dating Shikimori. In her flashback she seemed interested in Izumi, but at the same time seems to heavily praise Shikimori. I feel like we are overlooking a crucial detail this ep, and that is Hachimitsu literally breaking the fourth wall and doing a full vertical 180 degree turn with her arm. If her casually twisting her arm, or staring straight at the camera before explaining something to us like she knows we are on the other side isn't hinting at black magic Eldritch voodoo fuckery then I don't know what is. |
 "yabe." |
| This episode wasn't as boring as the last one, maybe even my favorite episode so far. I just like festivals I guess |
| Aww, was expecting Shikimori to storm into the library trying to trade numbers |
 |
| What a great episode, the story about how they started dating was indeed like a movie or series type one. Oh and yeah...i do wonder who has the 44 lol |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Funny to see another person interested in Izumi. This was a good episode. |
| This was a pretty jam-packed episode. We got the school festival and some backstory on Shikimori and Izumi. This show is pretty chill in terms of story telling, but I like that. The visuals were really nice too I hope Kamiyia doesn't end up being a forced wedge between the titular couple. Although, ig the show needs some type of oppositional force apart from Izumi's bad luck.. |
| It's annoying to watch Izumi and Shikimori still over jealous about some friends talking with them.... Izumi actually confessing, amazing courage he have even he act and look so feminine. Kamiya look like an interesting character... |
 |
| Kamiya is pretty and cute as well. Looks like we got some backstory on Izumi and Shikimori. Chairman was the GOAT there. Love such supportive characters. |
 |
| I guess how they started dating was... not a very exciting story. And now the plot is around both of them getting the same number to make a photo together... which they would do anyway. |
| Probably the best episode so far, not saying much, but there is some cute moments to this anime, especially when Shikimori is unable to look cool, gets flushered and does some cute expressions blushing, or when she gets daring and says some spicy stuff to him, really fun to see, otherwise seeing her doing cool stuff kinda gets old really fast. This episode though, was really wholesome, to see how both started, and she was encouraging to confess and then grabbed him, LOL. Honestly Shikimori sometimes makes me feel like a girl inside, wanting to be saved by a cool beauty like that, and I m a dude! (like that yukata festival, with her handing him the plushie) |
 |
| The possibility of a triangle (Kamiya x Shikamori x Izumi) just brought this series up a notch, IMO. I was considering dropping this. Not enough testosterone where it should be. |

| "costume?" it's just bunny ears honestly. Nice question, Kamiya. No, wait, WHAT? All of a sudden? She's getting physical to this point? Yui, stop breaking the 4th wall. "Who are you talking to?" No, just kidding. Destroying the 4th wall is funny. Wait, that's how Izumi and Shikimori became a couple? "From now on, things will change" it wasn't out loud, but still powerful. Cliffhanger? Cruel. And... yeah, NGL, the silent scene where they clearly "the" question was asked, was... great. Coming from a 37 years old bitter, cynical, nihilist, rotten etc. etc. |
 |
| That was a great episode. Maybe my favorite so far. It was so damn cute seeing them become a couple, I was hoping we would get to see how it happened. But, I’m so interested in this Kamiya storyline. I feel confident her feelings aren’t for Shikimori, but actually Izumi. She probably just wants to know how she won over Izumi IMO. And she got the same number as Izumi this year! Wonder what will happen from that. I hate love triangles, especially when all 3 characters are likable! |
