I've always hated this type of setup where MC has mutual feelings for someone but then is forced into a relationship with someone else and then ends up with them, I already knew Akari was the main girl right from ep 1 but next ep's title makes it way too obvious.

This series still reminds me of the rom-com mangas made in early 2000s. Still feel like its tropes don't age well in 2020s, not to mention this series indirectly emphasized gender stereotypes as much as it can.

I'm also disappointed with Minami being put as "They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character" trope. It's obvious he's written as a plot device that I always feel like he's not an existing character, and more like a painting.

Akari makes a good point although she doesn't know it, about if they had meet, they ran into each other all the time but wrote each other off, you never know what might happen if one person goes up and asks not being afraid of a no, and the other person humors them and says "Why Not" even it one or more parties aren't particularly interested or in love.

This anime would be way better had there been any benefit other then getting these students ready for marriage such as...idk...increasing the birthrate in Japan? Thats an idea.

The only thing this episode did for me was take it from Bad Trash to Okay Trash with the introduction of one thing and one thing only: YURI

Shiori clears Akari just for being a little more opened with her feelings then Akari who God only knows how she feels about both Minami and Jirou.

Akari did the thing I hate in "maybe we should date?" and just "HAHA JUST KIDDING"

Where Shiori ALSO did the thing I hate in "Misunderstanding the Kiss" AND YET IT INSTANTLY GOT NIPPED THANK GOD.

I'm just glad they didn't use that misunderstanding as a plot device, there's slow enough progression as it is. that'd have annoyed me greatly

I think this episode has made me rethink this isn't the Best Trainwreck of Fall 2022. It's a Dull Trainwreck that I believe I won't be rewatching until I've dementia later in life. Even if I'm an allo viewer in the first place, I'm unable to see this stupid rom-com being an actual deconstruction of rom-com tropes. It doesn't feel like that to me as I was disappointed with the characters still being two-dimensional so far. With many claiming this series is good just because these teenage characters admitting their insecurity and doubting their love choices, their take on those elements still sound nonsensical to me because those feelings these teenagers have are written heavy-handed, if not too cluttered up within the story.

Somehow I got the feeling this is intended to be a love triangle story instead of a love polygon. Baka Updates still have that the latter trope labeled on Fuukoi manga's page which should be edited out.

Also it's possible that the author puts Minami in this story at the very last minute back in 2010s maybe due to their editors wanting "a motivation" for the misunderstandings to keep on happening until the final arc.

To be honest, I'm with Jirou. It's super confusing when Akari teases him all the time. But being the audience, it's clear the two of them are developing stronger feelings for each other as each month goes by.

The whole Kamo family seems cool. lol

The sexual tension between Jirou and Akari are still off the charts, but it can't be helped when Akari keeps teasing him over being scared of spiders. Shiori managed to sort out that accidental kiss in the nurses office with Jiro and she almost kissed him again.

Episode 8 of the anime was chapter 18 of the manga. The manga is still publishing and is now on chapter 55. So the anime will need to hurry if it even makes it halfway through the manga this season. I feel like a second season is planned, based on the pace of the anime and how much effort has gone into staying faithful to the manga. So I am hopeful for at least one more season. But really, there is enough of the manga to do 3 seasons.

Once again, I am reminded how lucky we are to have this anime. Like Bocchi the Rock! and Spy x Family, this anime takes a good manga and makes it so much better! The music, the art, the animation, and the voice acting surprise me every episode. So much better than I expected! The teenage angst and desire is really there and leaps from the screen. I can't wait until next week! But how will the story be resolved in the little time left? Surely a second season is already in the works!

So even her butt is shiny, huh...

Cute episode! I'm starting to feel sad as the show is nearing its end. I hope this is only the first season. They really need to localize the manga, please!!

I love everything about this anime, especially the art. I like the bright colors and the unique shading.

Every episode, I can't help thinking how fun it would've been to have this assignment as a student. Except I don't think I would give a shit about being "married"; I would take advantage of the situation to have parties in the dorm or something, lol.

It was interesting to finally get a look inside Shiori and Minami's apartment, although brief. I wish we could see a little more of the other students' married lives. We know nothing about Kamo's life with his own "wife," which would be interesting to see.

I can understand why the girls fangirl over Mei. I wonder how this husband/wife assignment works for gay students...

I feel bad for Mei. She obviously has the hots for Shiori. At the same time she is trying her best to be the best wing-woman ever and get Shiori to just get somewhere with Jirou.

Episode focused on the boring girl nobody cares about, therefore it was very uninteresting and a chore to watch besides the spider scenes with Akari, though even that was pretty mild compared to the fanservice of some earlier episodes. Shiori has no personality besides le nice girl, and the yuri part is very unnecessary. Just focus on the main pair, that's the actually entertaining part.

I cant tell if minami is oblivious or if he knows it's shiori's situation from their conversation and he's trying to be of best help that he can. Either way Shiori keeps getting told by her friends to be more confident and go for it, but she doesn't. Easy to get frustrated at her but it's a classic highschool crush trope.

I think that if in the next 2 episodes the situation is the same I'll drop it, everything nice, everything cute, but they have the same thoughts as 6 episodes ago, maybe Akari is the only one who finally seems to me quite sure of her feelings, then but when she makes interesting comments she immediately says "I was joking" and the situation does not evolve.

Yea my suspicions about mei just keeps getting more confirmed, she definitely has a thing for shiori especially making an excuse to not go to shioris room knowing theres pictures of jirou. Another complication arises. Shiori got another chance, but the cats had another idea unfortunately. Still a little bit of development and clarity between her and jirou.
Akari and jirou really just keep growing more and more as a couple each day to the point of accompanying each other to the bathroom, feeding, fighting against household bugs etc. lol. Especially her dialogue where she says she is more comfortable and knows she can depend on jirou rather than minami with such matters. Good progression.
Also i loved the panel where akari is sleepless reaching her hands out towards jirou with the flustered look and then literally sleeping next to the wall, indicating her desire to be next to jirou. Girl has fallen head over heels at this point.

lol the spider part was kinda cute...

that question "if we met in another place, what do you think would happen?"
i think the answer is obvious ... (just like jiro said) i mean, it took them a while living together to get to a decent level, would they ever talk if they met somewhere else? if not for the living together, not in one million years they would never fall in love with each other either even if they managed to talk a few times at a workplace or something

i've noticed this episode (and i don't dislike it), but Shiori voice/way of talking is kinda different from what most anime girls sound lol
Mei decided to leave as soon as Shiori mentioned Jiro, sadness, it could have been a nice night for them

... i swear i get annoyed everytime there's multiple males together lol wtf was that dumb scene at the restaurant? geez ...

Let Jirou and Shiori have the biggest, wettest, sloppiest kiss ever, and then have Jirou move on and forget about Shiori forever. We already know it's never the childhood friend, so it's not worth beating around the bush here.

The chapter was good because this time Shiori has taken center stage in addition to seeing the secondary ones with some action
I understand Akari, spiders are very scary!!!!!!!!! It makes me laugh that he doesn't even feel sorry for entering the bathroom and seeing that Jiro is naked, this anime is full of bad interpretations with dialogues like "I want yours, give it to me" to scenes that are not what they seem
