I knew that was exactly her plan and personality, and bro feel bad for her cool, but she needs to be held accountable for the bs that she pulled.

Is the kiss was real or imagination ?

I'm still little bit wonder if Runa will dump him, because one of previously episodes she was speaking with Nikoru on the phone and told her will continue little bit longer. idk I can't judge Runa yet, the story is so sallow.

@misfit25 At least on this thread discussion, I can't see anyone is liking Maria though.


Not that I like her either.

This show just hits the spot so far. This couple is very cute. A little cheesy, a little sappy, but its nice to watch on a friday night after work.

Oh, so its only the Ken dude streamer guy, i was getting a little bit worried there that he's one of those people who enjoys whatever podcast live streams, you know the weird people.

Anyway, another another date episode ... WHY, i dont know. This show is in a dire need of side characters, and or secondary couple or something, because this is getting very sterile.

And also, now we know if Runa's hair is natural or fake, guess she has it after her mom.

What do you mean by the show getting “sterile”, it’s progressing pretty normally and honestly a lot better than most rom-coms. We have side characters by the main couple is still the main couple and we’ve got other plots littered throughout the episodes. They’re going to keep going on dates because that’s the natural thing that they would do.

That settles it, all my hope for this anime is lost. Introducing a third party to shake up an existing couple's relationship is the laziest way to create conflict and tension, and now she's a blood-related TWIN sister?! This show already felt forced enough but with that reveal it has entered a whole new cringe territory – there's no fucking way those girls were conceived in the same womb at the same time, lmao.

The only way for this to become enjoyable anymore is if someone locks Maria up in an insane asylum where her maniac ass belongs. Kashima ain't even that special to be catching feelings for... I get that romantic infatuation isn't always logical, but the way this girl is literally obsessed with someone she already rejected once just makes her infuriating.

If it’s so lazy than go write a rom-com anime yourself. I hate when people run around critiquing the way an author does something, despite never having written anything. If you have fine, but don’t just come on here and attack good anime for no reason.

@MossyBoy52 I'm a writer myself (I actually have a romcom novel I wrote linked on my profile), so I know the struggle of creating credible conflict and am by no means belittling the author's efforts. It's just that the whole love triangle thing feels frustrating and entirely unnecessary when there's already plenty to explore within the initial setting, such as Runa's distorted worldview, her trauma from being used by her ex-boyfriends and the way Ryuto is simultaneously trying his best to avoid hurting her further while also dealing with urges of his own.

Well, can't say that the plot is terrible, even though it's predictable. It's fun.

Still don't really appreciate how this is a story about a run-through girl who lands herself a catch like MC. Gross...

That was still a very normal reaction, I mean if it was me or any other stable person, we’d have simply smacked our heads into the nearby wall upon hearing something as “unrealistic” as this dude being Runa’s boyfriend.

Though let’s put that thing one side, because what we got in a matter of a few minutes after this commotion was… a very strange news, but still fitting to the ideas of this series, as after all Bitch A revealed to be the younger twin sister of Bitch B, that is, Maria and Runa are sisters, twins at that… lmao what? Their parents must be one of a kind that they birthed such sweet daughters:)

Also, Bitch A’s reason for hating Bitch B was very textbook, I mean she wants to be everyone’s favourite, but in this school that wasn’t happening, cause Runa’s here. So she started spreading rumours.. so like her nature. And when she got caught red-handed, she started the cliche soap opera drama… god I just can’t lol. Goes without saying Bitch A has kind of fallen for this boy after confessing her deeds.

This dude has become the very image of every loner’s wet dream. He’s going on dates with a hot girl… holding hands with the hot girl… exchanging KISS with the hot girl… and not just that, there is already another girl who just can’t seem to stop thinking about him, albeit she's mentally unstable. God oh god.

Well we still are in the dark about how other thinks bout mc. We only know his point of view

Ryuuto's confidence is growing in leaps and bounds, and this date has solidified that confidence. How is Kurose going to steal Ryuuto away from Runa. Our boy is stronger than that he will be loyal.

I see what you’re saying and understand your point a lot better now. It’s also nice to see someone who doesn’t respond rudely to a comment, so thanks. (I think it’s really cool that you’re writing your own romcom, I’ve wanted to try writing stuff for a while, but I just can’t figure out where to start, so it’s cool seeing someone who did start and seems to be proud of their work)

So the rumor spreader was the girl who rejected him in the past, and the twin sister of his current (formerly secret) girlfriend that he just outed??

Pass ... the popcorn, this is going to be good.

That was such a sweet date too. And now the revenge twin sister who got exposed as the rumor spreader, is going to do a Single White Female? Ulp!

Hmm, So Maria does know Runa, and in fact they are estranged sisters. I'm not sure if that makes her better or worse after the nasty rumors she's been spreading. Looks like she's going to be causing more problems.

Wow! That was an unexpected twist. A bunch of people made this show sound like it was going to be an out of control dumpster fire but so far it’s a cozy little camp fire. I’ll get my marshmallows ready for next week. I’m also not worried that the crazy sister will have any effect on their relationship. It’ll be fun to see her get twisted with every failed attempt.

I rewatch few time that episode, and at this scene I get the same vibe every time.
On the boat and she going to kiss him, that hand give the vibe that something evil going to grab him, like Ursula grabs The Little Mermaid ^^, maybe cause the hand is too huge for his shoulder.

Do not get me wrong, I like that anime. I may start to read the manga version ^^

Oh my, Maria is on her way of becoming my best villain for 2023. And her phrase at the end of the episode, this anime is slowly becoming a soap opera from my country.

Originally Runa was the love stupid sister now Maria is the love stupid sister. I do feel sorry for Maria though and understand her previous actions as a understandable flaw of character and logic but not her end of episode plotting. Did she really not listen to Ryuuta? He straight up told her she shouldn't try to become like her sister, he told her to be the best version of herself basically and she isn't doing that. I wonder if their mom was stupid too and that's why their parents divorced. Hopefully she gets some character development.

Turns out Nicole just has resting bitch face so she isn't as ticked off as she often looks.

The date was cute but damn, Ryuuta's plan was terrible. What kind of plan relies on someone tripping?

They are twins? What is this? Mexican telenovela? Where's Dr. Drake Ramoray when we need him (or her, depending on which EP are we talking abt)?

It's twins ya'll, futago, not even siblings (shimai).... Fraternal twins? Since they didn't look like each other AT ALL!!

Why does everyone in this show have such odd obsessions? Drinking bubble tea & watching game streams are not hobbies, they're things you do to kill time! Will MC and FMC forever be stuck as superficial modern teen caricatures?

Runa and Ryuuto is the best couple that I loved after Dangers of the Heart. They're just so cute together! Honestly I found Runa's friend to be pretty annoying sometimes, like she's the kind to really meddle with things she's not supposed to...cause I was thinking, if she's that protective and against Ryuuto, why did Runa's ex-boyfriends made her do such things? Like, why are you being so over-protective now, huhhh?
But nvm, still will support the duo, and let's see what you're made of, Runa's twin! :P

I really don't understand why this romcom gets so much flack. This is rated lower than Rent-a-girlfriend but is miles better in every way. It actually progresses the romance (very rare in romcoms now), the characters are likeable, the interactions feel decently real, the MC is not the worst MC in a romcom, etc. It baffles me to no end.

I like this episode a lot. The fact that it's progressing quickly is much better than a dragged out series that doesn't even end with an actual relationship.
