Heh, he's so nervous now.

Mini Riko is kinda cute I guess in the photographs. Cute episode as usual imo. Riko's brother was quite cute to watch and he definitely has a thing for Natsuo. I can tell it's written over his face.

I'm just shocked that Riko's family is a nuclear family unit. Seems so rare.

Poor Ren...He has no idea what Maki is truly like XD He'll be traumatized for life hahaha.
But really lol'd at his reactions and his interactions with the girls.

Also seems that more RikoxSachan will be coming nxt since she's going to cram school hehe.

Another cute ep. <3
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

I'm not even sure where to start. I was laughing so hard the whole episode. Rikos brother is amazing. I like how he's not shy with everyone and can fight it out even with hes sister :3

We got to see the guys a little bit in the end too. Hope for more in the next episode ^^

5/5

Ren gets hit a lot but seeing as he keeps repeating his mistakes he probably wasn't hit enough.
Funny how he reacted when he saw Maki, love at fist sight shamefully for him Maki doesn't see him as nothing more then the little brother of her friend.

The Riko myth reached new levels again with the number of guys they believe she dated i wonder when she will tell them the truth.
Something she should have done from the start.

Another episode that never fails to make me laugh XD, poor Ren getting hit by Riko, and funny how he comment each girl when they came by. Ren is definitely the highlight of this episode.

Another great interaction with Satoshi and Riko in the end but for a short time.

Lol, Ren totally got a crush on Maki now. Too bad his heart will not just be broken but PULVERIZED and sold on the black market to pedofile priests to put it in their altar wine when he finds out what a nutjob she REALLY is.

Btw, I'm shipping Ren with Suzune now <3

Riko's little brother fell in love with Maki at first sight. That was hilarious. I wonder if Riko will ever tell the truth about her and her popularity with boys being a lie. She had so many opportunities.

I'm glad the other two guys (Satoshi and Yan) are still there too!

She will stop digging her own grave when:

1. ... she inadvertently falls inside it.
2. ... She reaches a magma vein.
3. .... She can no longer dig because she has finally reached the other side of earth's crust.

The first 10 or so minutes they all looked deformed, it angered me more then it should have.
This episode was only 75% cute and 25% derp.

Around episode three I mentioned that I liked how the writer established the relationships between the 5 girls, like how Riko is weak to Sayo who is weak to Suzu, how Eno hates Maki, but loves Makio, how Maki and Riko interact.

Now we see how the guys are being slotted in with similar relationships.

I am looking forward to when Sayo traps Riko again and a second boy the confesses to Riko, upending Sayo like when Satchi confessed to her. It seems clear that far from the boys "friending" Riko, she actually was the one who friendzoned them, and they still have feelings for her, particularly as Maki begins to rub off on the "wild one". Yan obviously had (and probably does have) a crush on Riko, so he may be the candidate for this assignment.

Whatever happens though, we know that it is going to be funny. 7 hilarious episodes to go.

As for the art this episode, I wouldn't worry about it. A lot of shows have a weak episode visually around this time. At least we have the humor to comfort us.

I think Reiko's grades are the results of her mum's constant head smacking LOL.
It was also hilarious how Ren fell for Maki at first sight, can't wait for all the lies and duplicities to be unveiled at the same time.

The girls are all in Riko's bedroom, and the girl with glasses picks up a book titled
"Unpopular Girls Read This!"

That made me think of Watamote.

I can't see any clue that the book she is holding is a self-help book. The title in
Japanese is "モテない女子はこれを読め!!" It is saying, "An unpopular girl would
read this!!" That is not meant to be the real title.

In Watamote, the main character is an unpopular girl. (i.e. no boyfriend)

I was laughing the whole time from Maki weird face and on. Couldn't stop laughing
Though the first few minutes had crappy animation quality. Anyone else notice?

Lol at Riko saying Maki said elementary school boys are naughty and cute
and it makes her feel like a mother.

Now I know how they say "uncle" in japanese xD That Puppy eyes dog look by maki-sama!

RiRi XD God, Dakki scenes kill me and I am laughing so hard... Graceful ladies XD XD XD Ren had his first crush, too bad things are not gonna good for him xD

Suzu is very short now that I saw her height. Well, who cares when she is cute. Gotta love Sayo and Riko's friendship. She understands him the best. Is it going in Ren x Suzu direction? Please no, he is in elementary school... But they are sort of cute together... Nice comeback, Riko xD Jealous Riko and he is such a tsundere.

Another amazing episode, at this rate it is gonna become the best.
