| What an ep, the love game is on |
 |
| i feel sad for akari , seems like she jsut love one sided !! the fuck with that minami X with older woman looks like shiori old sis !! |
| Another great episode. Minami been better that expected...feelings, feelings. Shiori and Jiro kiss was superb, hope they end up together although Akari is great too. This show dont try to push you into one of them and that is great. |
 |
| wow this anime has some very serious and sweet moments. I don't know what i should rate this. Lets wait for the final episode. |

SilverOrion said: Hyrulia said: -Minami i love you! -Thx but i love someone else. -No problem i will confess to Juro then.. Euh.. wut? "Loved," to be fair. Yall acting like it was an in the moment confession of her current love, but she was just getting her PREVIOUS love off her chest, so that she could move forward with Jiro. She literally said, "I loved you." Not "I love you." Did the sister-zone totally hurt? Yeah, for sure. But if he said he loved her then and there, would they have ended up together? Hell no. Am I the only one that saw it this way??? And yes, #TeamAkari. Shiori can go find a man somewhere else. Or woman 🤷🏼♂️ (red head what's her name). I would love to think it was that. But she was thinking she had to go all in right here and now when Tenjin hinted at rejecting her. Then she said a what if scenario to see if he would change his mind. I was so disappointed how she turn Jiro into an insurance policy, I would have it any other way but that. Imagine if Jiro came out of the bushes looking for her instead of Tenjin, things would have gone exactly how we all truly wanted. I hope they can reel this in and save Jiros honor someway in the last episode, but I highly doubt it. |

I hope I agree with you. |

| Another great episode, they even gave Minami some characterisation rather than just being a plot device. His talk with Akari was actually really sweet! I also love the extended version of the ED this episode, I think I might download it. I really hope they can end it in a satisfying way with one episode to go, it's on track for a 9/10 from me so far. |
Pual said: In the manga is it explained who is the woman that Minami sees with another man in the bed? Yes. There will be more information regarding her and the situation with Minami. He will also recall it in a way that the viewer can actually understand what's going on. However, that happens way later in the manga and probably it would be shown halfway down in a maybe 2nd season of this anime. Pual said: And what about the rumor he mentions in the end? Is it implied that someone is spreading fake information about their love interests? No, I don't think so. He just picks up what Akari mentioned. She assumed that the one Minami is in love with is Shiori because some "couples" started dating and Akari thought they would do so, too. So Minami thinks that there might be a rumor going around about him and Shiori. He hopes that this is not the case because he doesn't want to be in the way of their love. Both of them. At the end he wishes that both of them (Akari & Shiori) will succeed in their love. However, he is oblivious to the fact that Shiori is in love with Jirou, too. So Minami's wish that it works out for both of them most likely won't come true. Except this anime would turn into something else and Jirou, Akari & Shiori would go for the threesome-route^^ |

It really helped understand a little bit more those scenes. I need to read the manga ASAP because I won't survive weekends without the anime! |

misfit25 said: how is this episode progress compared to the manga itself? anyone can help me I'm pleasantly surprised by how closely the anime follows the manga. The anime sometimes embellishes scenes, but only for the better. It is very true to the original. But we are not even halfway through the manga. Are we headed for a big cliffhanger for the season finale?! This anime has surprised me. I really did not expect it to be this good. Looking forward to season 2! |
ahlspiess said: What did Tenjin mean by unrequited love, that flashback was confusing as shit, can anyone explain? he has feelings towards his brothers fiancee. |
| So Shiori and Jiro shared another kiss towards the end of the episode. Poor Akari just found out that Tenjin is not interested in her and doesn't realize that Shiori and Jiro have gotten more closer as the two of them still have feelings for each other. I feel bad for her. |

| All this time I thought Minami is gay ikemen lol Next ep, looks like Akari will talk with Jirou (and get her phone back, which not being mentioned at all after Jirou found it) |

| How is bro creaming himself over Shiori's pajamas 😩 There's nothing to see here Akari in pigtails 🥰 One of the prettiest shots of the series Daaang, rough. I felt kind of sorry for Minami in this moment. But he's a pretty bland guy, I don't know what Akari sees in him. I get that he's supposed to be hot but that piss yellow hair is not attractive. Jirou is actually more appealing. Every time Akari cries I just want to give her a big hug! I'm happy that the convo with Tenjin pushed her to finally choose Jirou. But then this FUCKING RUINED IT noooo, no one wants to see this |
| Now Akari and Jirou has been ended with their love interest, but for how long it will last? The ED song little bit different because it using ending part of the song, Love it. |
  What Does Pot of Greed do?  |
| I'll make a prediction and say that when Akari finds out what happened, she'll make the same move by kissing him. That would confuse Jirou and put everything on hold for another season. https://thumbs.gfycat.com/EuphoricFarawayHadrosaurus-size_restricted.gif |
I don't like Shiori, but the pajama thing is real. iykyk 🥲 |

Is it implied that someone is spreading fake information about their love interests? It's not fully explained but from what's been shown... Sorry I didn't see someone already explained it before I replied. Have fun with the manga, there's a lot of great scenes after this point in the story. Oh, don't worry! Thanks anyways for taking your time to answer. And for the other reply they didn't mention so it helped to understand even more the situation they are in. |

SkyhighCFC said: Piromysl said: Shiori is literally the fifth wheel in this show and dragging it all down by herself. We all know who is going to win this love triangle since episode one, so her and Jirou getting along is just boring and a waste of screentime, because it's obvious it won't go anywhere. This screen time could be used to develop Akari and Jirou relationship further. Bruv I have to be real with you... What you're saying really isn't true. Yes, it's kinda obvious that Akari will win in the end, but this Shiori scene isn't "a waste of screen time". This is literally character building for Jirou lmao... Bro, I am perfectly aware, that Shiori's entire role in this show is for Jirou to "grow out of" his feelings for her, but as I said, she is so so one dimensional and plain, that everything regarding her is completely predictable and boring, thus it is a waste of screentime and Shiori shouldn't even exist in this show. Unless you consider her as some sort of antagonist. Akari is not an obnoxious tsundere like Bitchoge in Nisekoi is, so we don't even have a reason to root for Shiori out of spite. I also don't see how is she supposed to serve for the purpose of Jirou's development, because it would work out much better if she wouldn't even exist. And now, it is inevitable, that we will be backpedaling and Jirou will graduately lose interest in Shiori, because Akari is THE main girl and THE ONE. If this shit happens, I think I'm gonna drop this, because that would be an insult. |

If this shit happens, I think I'm gonna drop this, because that would be an insult. If Shiori didn't exist, this show would have ended a while ago...like literally. There'd literally be nothing holding Jirou back. Shiori being in the show adds to the spice and drama of it all. If you don't like that aspect that's totally fine, but it's definitely not "pointless". And let's not act like Akari is perfect here either. In episode 10 we saw how much she gives Jirou mixed signals. The only thing I can fault Shiori for is being too timid and indecisive...which she actually wasn't at the end of this episode, which I liked. I honestly do not see how you can agree it's predictable and then claim there is "tension" in this. This romcom is generic. Like VERY generic and VERY predictable. It does not even try to invent anything new. Claiming those situations are tense is ludicrous, while all we have is cheap, sleep inducing melodrama. Other romcoms do not have a problem having 1v1 scenario and manage to make it work quite well, if you have characters with personality. I'm pretty sure here it would work as well. And I don't even know how Akari giving Jirou "mixed feelings" is supposed to be a gad thing. She literally still crushes on Blonde Guy, afterall. |

| Minami is actually a very cool guy. He handled that situation extremely well. Yes, he was "merciless" with the "sister-zoning", but he was just honest, and actually explained the situation, not just leaving it at that. Hell, he even cheered her up afterwards, and helped her sort out her feelings. |
 |
| Is it that bad for me to root for the quiet girl instead of the obnoxious Chitoge-type? I mean, not that I hate Akari or anything. Nor even the original Chitoge. But I kinda want to see a story once where the quiet female lead wins. |
| There was progress? That's cool. But I want to know who is the MILF that Minami loves. Does she have a connection with Shiori? Also it would be funny if the kiss just turned out to be a mercy gift for Shiori fans, which I suspect might be the case.

RioFS said: I watched all of Oregairu but didn't like it very much. Also, it was quite expected that Yukino would win. Yuigahama never stood a chance.Oregairu. As far as I remember, the loud girl never had a chance. I guess I expect too much from writers. QQ for instance was great - because it was a decent ending that surprised everyone. |
| They are all so sweet, I don't know who to ship with whom. Especially Minami, I didn't expect him to be that cool, I thought he really was putting a farce but I was completely wrong, he is really a nice guy. I really like both Shiori and Akari and I'll be very sad for both of them if they got rejected. |
| fucking Shiori! I get so pissed whenever I see her, the bitch should suffer for real also, wtf is that preview, are they all gonna just like, pity fuck each other ? |
