Quite a stylistic opening with those Aniplex themes. I like the style tbh.

Episode got awkward fast. I mean...they used the classic 'stuck in a gym' together trope here. With the high temperature and heat, Lemon looks like she wasn't acting her usual self. Kazuhiko was fighting for his life LOL. Anna is still a star in this show. Her personality stands out a lot and has that nuclear energy around her. Other characters like Mitsuki is also getting more screen time so I think they're trying to flesh out as many as characters as possible.

This guy who’s never been around girls(except the exceptional conditions going on since last episode), has kinda out of nowhere emerged as a personality whom girls are visiting for consulting… variety of things, which is eventually leading to hella cliche events. Loved the tan girl and this guy’s little making out session in the storage room, which of course got locked, by itself. Very impro.. I mean proper of the teacher to come and open the gate( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Still girls have their own problems to deal with, and tbh this guy too, with friends. That disbelief on his little sister’s face was no joke lmaooo. Logic of childhood friends and homewrecker aside, the glasses dude really dropped one hell of a news out of nowhere, didn’t he, though not like it was obvious. Lemon-chan, WELCOME TO THE CLUB!

Such nice opening and ending btw, or more like the visuals.

Best romance and show this season by a mile. The gooners took roshidere, but I’m keeping Makeine pure with my life. A-1 are doing a masterful job with this. This episode is a reminder of tan tomboy supremacy!

Lemon and Nukumizu’s heatstroke debacle after school was brilliant. Tan girl enthusiasts ate good there lol. Don’t even think I’ve ever heard of ice spray, but it’s erotic!!

New nurse milf waifu dropped?? “When you get laid the ceiling is the only thing you can see” Sensei is hilarious, sounds like she used to be getting it on in the nurse’s office during school when she was a student 💀 must be something in the water of this town because everyone is wacky

That omarice Anna bought Nukumizu was probably worth 600 yen, but by the time she gave Lemon half of it that dropped the value quite a bit. She’s got a long way to go to pay off that debt lmao.

“People aren’t allowed to be friendless after middle school” well I got news for you Kaju.. your brother is exhibit A of just that.

I feel bad for everything that went on with Lemon today, but at the end of the day Mitsuki had a girlfriend already and the president getting him to admit that really saves Lemon prolonged agony and suffering in the long run. She needed to hear that so she could move on and focus on herself.

From the looks of that track scene at the end, there’s so much more to her than just a relationship or crush and this should give her more time to work on that! We’re rooting for you lemon!

A-1 seem to have a thing with ending these episodes with a gust of wind and some profound life changing energy for the heroines lol. Let’s see if they keep that trend going next week

Interesting that they packed so many similar characters onto the same stage and still managed to make each one somewhat unique and rememberable. Most of them, Yanami, Yakishio, Tsukinoki, Kaju, maybe the two other as well, were like being casted from the same mould.

The character hierarchy is also interesting. Most anime would have around 3 to 4 main characters, which will receive much, much more screen time and focus than the supporting characters. In some other anime, there may be 8, 10 or more characters of the same rank sharing the stage, each receiving an somewhat equal amount of attention.
However, for Makein, there were 5, 6, maybe more main characters that all received a decent amount of focus, yet these characters were not exactly in the same group or rank (maybe they would all join the literature club very soon but I can't tell whether there would be activities in the literature club that would be shared by all members). On the other hand, the other „supporting“ characters, such as Ayano, Tamaki, were not that far behind. They had much more influence on the story than the supporting characters would in some other anime.

The episode was a mixed bag for me. The few minutes at the storage room with the heatstroke trope was too corny and played out for my liking and the humor generally is fine at times and a bit too forced and unfunny in others. As great as the animation is when it matters, the background animation with characters being stuck and frozen in those shots can feel distracting for a show that otherwise has a lot of visual polish. Beyond that, the rest was alright. Lemon's trying to deal with her crush and controlling herself but at the library, happens to find out that he is already dating his childhood friend and her feelings were for nothing there. Good to see her get one run in and still hold herself together with the end there. And the nurse is nice too, definitely my favorite character of the lot so far. Anna's interactions aren't always the best for me but there were some nice moments with her here and Nukumizu in observer mode who's just happening to be there (besides the first few minutes at least). I did find the moment that Nukumizu's sister to be in utter disbelief that a loner like him claimed to interact with five people was fun, not going to lie. Chika already annoys the hell out of me in some ways and I barely got to know her in these two episodes besides learning who she is crushing on while at the library.

As an adaptation, pretty damn solid and I will say, pacing has been good. Now are all the events happening that interesting or fun for me? Wouldn't quite say so. But there's enough alright stuff in there to still be somewhat alert about this. I'm not that much of a rom-com fan and none of them have really stood out to me as good or engaging this season but this might be one of the better ones out there (basically mixed feelings so far).

The opening visuals are great. Song is annoying as hell but at least it has energy to wake me up a bit, but the animation there is very solid and visually vibrant too. Still prefer the ending as a whole compared to the opening, just more interesting with a better song relatively speaking.

Oh man i could feel the secondhand heart pain after Ayano said he already has a gf,worst part that its "recently" and Lemon had a chance.

Intresting that Chika isn't the childhood friend like the other two since shes the one losing.Also OP is BANGER,reminds me of Words Bubble up like Soda Pop art/colour palatte.

Another girl who was rejected, and this time it was Lemon's turn to experience it.

It must have hurt a lot, after Lemon tried to fight on her own. But who knows how many more girls will be rejected next but we'll see.

Another great episode, and the opening song is also out and I think I like it.

I love the introduction of Komari as a character before the inveitable happens so we aren't just handed a new heroine from nowhere. The OP was fantastic with some great choices of how to include the staff names and a great style overall, but most importantly this episode had no drop in quality and had me smiling the whole time!!!

Yet another poor girl shot down by unfortunate circumstances, with awkwardness galore...

This is turning out to be such a silly, but very solid, unconventional romcom. I'm really loving the visual style of the entire show, from the character expressions, to just how the show executes its wild scenes, like the storage room scene, and when poor Lemon learned that Ayano already had a girlfriend. The comedy continues to be a joy to watch, and the timing is spot-on so far. Time and time again, it got me to laugh, and that's a signal of some nice execution. Obviously, I felt bad for yet another heroine losing a love battle, but that means more friends for Kazuhiko, so at least there's a silver lining there. A really fun show so far, and still one of the best shows that this season has to offer.

A-1 Knows what they’re doing man, the animation and visuals this season is genuinely incredible. Yanami is still the highlight of the anime for me, her bubbly and goofy personality is such a stark contrast to what they portrayed her as in the first scene of the anime. RIP to lemon 🙏 you can’t help but feel bad for her. Even with the emotional aspects of the episode, they still managed to incorporate some absolutely funny moments lol, I want what that doctor is having.

Overall, a really enjoyable episode, this anime has definitely surpassed my expectations so far.

I seriously can't get over how pretty this show is. Though I would say that there wasn't anything in particular this episode that can compare to that final scene with Anna in the first.

And the CINEMA continues.

OP is as good as the ED with a superb visuals and a perfect corny song to match the theme.

That Gym scene played out way better than expected best ecchi this season. I hope Lemon remember what happened there someday. It will be carnage then.
After that poor Lemon got shot down before she got a chance. Everybody have to witness that tragedy as well sad.

Anna is so much fun everytime she is on screen. Everything she does is way too hilarious and cute. Her debt count remained unchanged even after that great white sauce.

Kaju is on the list for another great imouto this season. The disbelief on her face when she heard her brother talked with 5 persons😭😭😭.

Those two teachers specially the nurse was great addition too. She bugged the entire school probably. Koto senpai was goofy as well, one childhood friend will win atleast and she is deserving.

Nukumizu remarks while staying in background are always brilliant and the end maybe hinting at some sort of romance for him absolutely needed and hopefully it's Anna.

Last shot with lemon running and transiting to ed music perfection...
Oshi No Ko vibes..

Well, a heat stroke can definitely be quite scary, though for different reasons, right, Nukumizu? He and Lemon sure had some fun during the heatwave, as if the temperatures weren't already extremely high, haha. What surprised me more was the attitude of the teacher and the nurse. One saw her students in a compromising situation with one nearly naked, and decided to let them finish, while the nurse hinted they could do whatever they wanted in the infirmary as long as she wasn’t there. What kind of tutors do that?

Poor Lemon joined the club of losers, but it's better this way than wasting her time trying something with Mitsuki. The scene where she found out he has a girlfriend was so devastating.

I have some intrigue about Nukumizu's little sister and why she is so obsessed with her brother having friends. I’m also curious about the nurse with her list of romantic links she's making.

P.S. Anna may be stingy, but she's still lovable.

As someone who reads the manga... This confuses me hella lot because stuff that happened in the manga didn't happen here but it's a good thing since I won't know what's gonna happen next.

Is there a chance for a harem? But the genre didn't say so, and there are absolutely no hints of harem in the manga so far (It's translated until chap 14 I think atm) and I don't remember Lemon taking interest into Nukumizu that way but I hope it's just a false alarm though.

Though what I like about the anime is that Yanami is definitely much more brighter here, she's a bit emo in the manga.

But yeah, can't wait for the next ep, I assume it should be about Komari.

I keep forgetting to comment about the quadruple bow-tie design for female students. So here I am commenting about that.

Sheesh, what a mess. I wonder if english translation is off because some stuff just isn't making sense, but it could be right.

That cooling spray is clearly garbage, I get that they are in a storage shed that likely is radically hotter than the super hot outside, but if he's doing fine, and she's getting sprayed with no apparent effect... seems garbage. Luckily no one became disabled or dead.

4/5, really enjoyed this, and unfortunately made me want to get tan like Lemon (really bad idea)

this anime should be nominated as the best anime of the season, there are too many funny moments lol in this anime.

one of the tropes is being stuck in the gym with the tan tomboy heroine its so peak, and there's the school nurse she's fine af until before I know that she's secretly recording what the students are talking about and making theories about who loves who, we get another Kaju roasting her brother once again she's such a funny character.

Chika's character is very cute even though she's a weird person but for these 2 episodes Chika and Kaju are my favorite so far, poor Lemon-chan she doesn't deserve this, Ayano is an insensitive person, and I love the characters reaction after hearing what Ayano said lol. as you can guess Anna's debt increased again because she doesn't have enough money.

we got a BANGER OP I like to see the style in this OP a lot of uniqueness, I always like songs with male and female duets especially this romcom love it.

That gym scene was wild, this shows got a lot of really fun characters. Sayo (the nurse) is unironically my favourite character. That scene at the end of Lemon running at night with Sayo watching her is lowkey relatable I have a track near where I live and sometimes doing laps there at night is oddly comforting

Second episode comes and it's also a banger with the way girls keep coming to the aid Nukumizu and how goofy Yanami is right after starting to shorten her debt. This was albeit an episode focused on Lemon and basically her interest in Mitsuki who didn't notice her feelings nor the way he dumped her without a proper confession. Good thing she didin't notice how she stripped after the heatstroke since it would have been pretty.

Animation is once again at a very high bar and the opening sequence with its comic book style, vibrant colors and ska music gives me another reason to recommend watching the series. I'm enjoying this immensely.
