| Shikimori looks great in those gym clothes and to the surprise of no one, takes care of her boyfriend like a good girl. Izumi should be more careful not to get hit in the face. I like how Shikimori gets like a power boost whenever Yuu cheers her on. Looked like almost everyone had fun in that volleyball game. Shikimori played like a star. |
 |
| Izumi-san getting the short end of the stick, again. Guess that day isn't far enough when even a meteor will blast him over. Though anyways again Shikimori doing what she does throughout the episode, and I guess that new girl will have some relevance later on. |
| Did Shikimori get jealous cos she thought her boyfriend might have gae feelings towards Bakugou Inuzuka-kun? rxdovan said: That was just a rumor. The studio never confirmed there was going to be a delay.wasnt this supposed to only have 1 episode out and then be postponed? how is there a 2nd episode? |
| cheki and handshaking lol.. It turned out to be a mini idol event for Shikimori and Nekozaki. |

| Good episode once again.Shikimori is really an expert in sports.Especially when she got cheering from Izumi.Also it was pretty sweet seeing Shikimori taking care of Izumi. |
 |
| Hachimitsu always make me smile not gonna lie, i watch this just for her. anything beside that just bonus. |

| It's the inter-class ball sports tournament, and both boys' soccer and girls' volleyball overlap so Izumi and Shikimori can't support each other, so send love now while they still can! Not surprised that Izumi's bad luck will run awry, and the ball right smack on his face must be the most embarrassing of them all, so it's rest time in the nurse's infirmary while Shikimori nurses him to health physcially and romantically as well (that was too strong of an affection). Yui had it hard in the basketball round, and both Kyou and Shikimori must renew that in the volleyball round against the ace Kamiya. One heartfelt encouragement from Izumi, and Shikimori feels the spirit to go all-out to give them their sole class win. Shikimori becomes the new celebrity attraction, and so does Kyou in a crazy 1-2 twist. What a stroke of bad luck for Shuu to be hit by the face with a volleyball, and produce the most BL-visual like sequence. All the more that Izumi decides to stay away from Shikimori from a distance, but she just can't leave him alone. Such dedication though, I'm loving it. |
 |
| Good episode. Shikimori was really cute in gym clothes, and that scene on the nurse's office was very cute too. Overall I'm loving this anime, I really like the character design and Shikimori is one of my favorite girls of the season so far. |
 |
| The adaptation is an even more mediocre version of the manga. Interactions still continue to feel incredibly awkward, and they are clearly rushing things around to fit it into 1 anime season, For example, Kamiya wasnt in the manga until Vol 5, but is introduced already as of ep 2 |
| Blanks. |
| Those two are cute together but I have to admit that I didn't care at all about the volleyball game or the squeeing fangirls. Wonder if this show will be all about the sparkly cuteness or if a story will surface down the road. Don't know if this pure sugar straight into the veins will be sustainable long term but I'm in for now. |
 |
| There were some sweet moments here and there, but overall a snoozefest compared to the first episode ngl π΄ |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Lol Shikimori and Nekozaki really became celebrities over some high school volleyball. I like how wholesome Shikimori and Izumi's relationship continues to be. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Hmm pretty decent sports for the class tournament. Cheering isn't Shikimori's strong point huh. Still its the thought that really counts. Though Shikimori's victory in her game was impressive it also caused quite a stir for them within the school. Still its amusing seeing that even Shikimori can get jealous as well. Overall a decent ep that did well to expand upon the main leads though im still finding the Izumi rather plain. The cheer was a nice first step in breaking out of his comfort zone but there needs to be more. |

| Shikimori in gym clothes . Blessed day |
 |
| Maybe it would be good if i was a Girl. But sadly i am a Boy. Now i will rewatch asobi asobase to recover my soul. |
 |
| Shikimori continues to be the perfect waifu. |
 |
Loved this ep amazing and this line . |
| The half is kind of slow, but the second half has a lot of awesome moments!!! btw the stair scene reminded me of Another for some reason. |
 |
| I love Shikimori so much, she’s really cute and cool! Hachimitsu was done really well in this episode in my opinion and the OST was nice. However, I can’t be the only one thinking that this episode was really awkward and slow. The interactions just seemed weird, slow, and unnatural. Some situations just seemed very mediocre like the volleyball match. I expected it to be more hype around the match and Kamiya but it just didn’t hit. Also, with Shikimori and Izumi in the infirmary that scene was really awkward and when she left the room, it was really unnatural. I do hope this is improved in future episodes. I definitely recommend checking out the manga because I think the manga is great and hits every note. I’m quite disappointed. |
 |
| Shikimori with gym clothes. Thats the highlight of this episode and i love it I am really liking the anime, maybe not the best but its really decent/good |
 |
| What a creative ED, love the art style and how Izumi saved Shikimori at the end. |
| Hachimitsu's accent seriously fits her so much. Anyway, Shikimori and sport is a great match together. I've been waiting for this chapter to get adapted. Once again, she shows how cool an good she is at everything she does and then you have Izumi who got hit by the volleyball LOL. Well, she gets a little famous here but her eyes are still on her boyfriend. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Oh boy, this is tedious. |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| Someone can tell me if we will have a explanation of the bad luck for Izumi? |
| Woah there slow down, why would they introduce Kamiya this early when there are so many chapters away until we actually get to see her? Also, she doesn't have that much screentime compared to others but with all the interchanging towards events being totally messed up in this adaptation, it's not big of a surprise this is going to be a dead-end for this adaptation. Welp, I guess the physical education was fun for others, but I'm not enjoying how it's being handled in comparison to the manga because the adaptation likes to go back and forth with random events happening, too bad Shikimori was a short length series, to begin with. Hachmitsu stays to be a wing woman and the volleyball segment was just Shikimori winning all over. |
| Shikimori-san has truly become OUR Shikimori-san |
 |
| Hopefully we get some focus on the secondary characters, or we dive a bit deeper into Shikimori and Izumi's characters, cause replaying the same gag over and over for more than we've already seen can get boring. Anything to shake things up on ep 3 would be welcome. |
 |
| Shikimori was a bit more enjoyable this episode tho i still think she is to perfect. Izumi on the other hand his clumsiness makes up for part of it not to mention him being insecure, the author wants to make them look like an odd couple tho personally i don't think they are such an odd couple. To me to they seem like a fine couple. With these two personalities tho things seem a bit predictable, so far nothing happened that was out of my expectation and personally i want to see a bit more things that you don't expect. I also think this could use a bit more comedy. I don't think this is bad tho. |
| Another episode of "simping for shikimori" I know people are going to hate me for this comment, but I would like to see a scene were the punchline isn't just "look at how cool shikimori is". |
| Honestly.. Izumi is extremely boring. I'm just sticking around for Shikimori and Hachimitsu. This ep was a total snoozefest for me. |
| Bruh, these two MCs are pissing me off. All they do when together are just flirting with the same conversations again & again. What's worse is we don't even get InuNeko moment. Yeah, this is worst than the 1st episode. |
