Oh they finally introduced Kanzashi this episode. Took 7 episodes lol.

Dat dinner date. I think I remember this from the LN with the photo shoot. Houki looks good :> . Really wish they would push the plot a bit further though against the Phantom Task now...

Oh poor Laura.

That megane girl's first appearance. Interview offer for Houki and the main guy for a magazine. Houki changed her idea once the pair tickets are given. lol @ the anime airing series that similar to one of current season. Intimacy for photo shooting.

Tag match. He's too dense for Charlotte and China girl attacks for it.

Student council girl being serious about her sister, who rejected him fast. Oh wow, his sister has damaged Russian girl by talking. lol @ English girl and Houki.

Finally the younger sister of the student council president, the other Tatenashi...

Also finally some precious intimate time for Houki...

Poor Rin, on the other hand, has to jostle with Charlotte for the little highlight moment....
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

At the start I thought it was Tatenashi who was doing something with the IS, but apparently it was her sister.
That screen time for Houki, she looks good in that white dress to be honest.

Nice to see Tatenashi's sister. It's gonna be difficult for Ichika to convince her to be his partner for the tag match.

As with most episodes of IS, I only liked this one. Darn Ichika has the density of a black hole. That's all I'm saying.

So they totally skipped volume 6 and went to volume 7. Either they'll cover it later or we'll get volume 8. The former is pretty unlikely though from how the events of vol7 will play so it's definitely the latter.

Kanzashi finally appears. Pretty much an unwanted character and you can see that she was shoehorned in the story just because the author felt like it. A total opposite of Tatenashi's character at that. Ah well, she's here and she's the focus of this volume/arc so live with it.
Houki was pretty cute in that dress. And getting intimate with Ichika. Yumizuru is pretty much pushing this pairing a lot, this much should be obvious. This won't end well for the other ships. It's fun to see people argue about best girl and stuff though, with some fans being very aggressive. Never a dull moment.

Is that Hiyama Nobuyuki and Inada Tetsu on the anime that Kanzashi was watching? Not bad.

Anyway, LOL at Laura. I'm now liking her but I doubt she can surpassed Houki as my favorite characters on this series.

Ah, Houki can really be cute and girly when she tries
Some good screentime for Charlotte and Laura as well
Chifuyu judo tossing Bodewig and burning her was very funny

Lin, Cecillia and Madoka had very little

I guess Ichika can add another one to his Harem with Tatenashi's gloomy imouto -_-

And so the harem grows evermore. Although I suppose one could just say that the entire school is his harem at this point.

Houki looked really cute in that white dress. I kept on expecting the pictures/magazine to show up and the rest of the girls going nuclear when they saw it. I hope we still get to see their reaction later on.

Even tho Kanzashi has had little to no screentime i dislike her the most. I really hope that she won't fall for Ichika i can't bother with another harem member especially her.
Houki>Charlotte>Tatenashi>The rest>Kanzashi

Is Ichika really that stupid? I swear to god he's the most dense MC ever. FFS she loud and clear said "ichika, i like you" ok she maybe didn't say it loud and clear but you should hear it.

This was a decent episode, better than the previous one. Did Ichika really not hear Houki's confession, I mean her mouth was like literally beside his hear? It's good that Charlotte is back to normal, her character took a bit of dive last week's episode. There has been less and less of Tatennashi, I hope she gets more screen time in the upcoming episodes.

Dayuuuuum, Laura got REJECTED by Chifuyu as sister-in-law. LOLOLOL! She may be my favorite girl but that was still hilarious! Though that recovery she made from being thrown across the room was pretty cool.

Pretty hilarious episode all round, though at this point I'm really, really dying for more mecha action. And I hate to say this, but the harem size needs to be capped by now, or even trimmed.

During that whole interview, it was nice to see Houki at least talk about her sister a bit. What happened to Tabane anyway? She was the best character in season 1 lol!

Oh, and obviously something's up with Chifuyu being really tight-lipped about this mysterious sister that she and Ichika have. I wonder...

BTW, novel readers... what happened to their parents? Why are they never mentioned?

I'll probably be hated by quite a few for saying this, but w/e. What is so appealing about Houki? She's just an average tsundere. Nothing special. In my opinion, the ones with the best personalities are Charlotte, Laura and Lin. They'd be more interesting and fun to be around. Cecilia seems too annoying.

But then again, this is just an anime. I'll just stick to looking for good qualities in real life :P

No, I agree completely. To be honest Charlotte's the only one who at times thinks about Ichika. I'll say this though, I don't mind her not ending up with him as he doesn't deserve her. I only want to see her happy which is why I ship them to begin with.

Not a Houki fan, I only like Laura and Charlotte. How did Ichika not hear Houki's confession? Anyways, I wish she would've slapped Ichika but I think basically saying he's not worth it is better.

Why are people saying Ichika got denser though??? He actually called Houki good-looking and cute, so I'd say he improved a slight bit even though he doesn't understand anyone's feeling towards him. It could have been worse; I'm sure most will agree.

I guess this is Houki's episode, the only one that hasn't gotten alone time is Ling.

Damnit they skipped the date :/

Laura called him her wife :P

I bet she thought Ichika was mocking her because her suit isn't finished yet.

I'm sure they didn't have the date yet, because they wouldn't skip such a huge part; my prediction is that they will have a date at the end of the season

To me he does like the girls but is worried about only being sexually attracted to them. You know I like you but I don't like like you. Or maybe I'm giving this dude way too much credit.

3/5

Why not increase further the characters who flock to Ichika's harem? But what the authors have done good thinking, really original! Jeez! Plot takes! And ironically is the only thing that does not exist! Not that I'm against this way of narrating close to the slice of life, I like to see how to change from time to time around the girls Ichika, Houki after so happy to see, but we must also have a firm and know in which direction you want to go, just remain in limbo! D:
Drawings that do not emerge from that approximation to the view already in previous episodes! I want more quality! ^ ^ "
Animations enough, I hope that this hint of history will lead to tangible results next time!
Rating of 3/5 more than adequate for this boredom! -. - "
