Lol, a survival game contest? I guess this anime is trying some other ideas besides the usual dating fluff. It was a boys vs girls contest so that escalated quickly. Runa looks good in just about anything in the eyes of the Ryuuto.

Not surprised the episode still found ways to give Runa and Ryuuto time together since that's the core of the show.

Yeah well, however bad the things are between them, it's nice to see Runa trying to get on the good terms with her sister, they are a family after all ... even tho she tried to snipe ur man and had secret sex with him, but that's just a minor detail that we can move past ... .. .

The triple date was a very conflicting part for me, on one hand it was a storm of nerdism, but on the other hand Nikoru was there, and that is all that matters.

Also hey, fatty, she said tall, not "double tall chin".

Jreeeng, the Gal girls are cosplaying now.

And Runa still insists on trying to be good friends with Maria, meanwhile Ryuto is staying away from Maria.

There wasn't too much that surprised me, but a great episode as usual. Can't wait for the next episode.

Akari likely pairs up with Ijichi, while Nikoru seems destined for Nishi. Ijichi's height is insane, isn't it? Any idea where Luna has her sights set? Now, what's about to disrupt their imminent kiss?Surprisingly, nothing, it seems. Ay, some headpats for Luna!

Unexpectedly impressed by how the girls vibe with the clumsy nerds. Perhaps it's because Nikoru shares a disdain for normies, which makes sense.

That survival game was surely something else to expect here, and Runa looks cute in her airsoft uniform too. Dang, Nikoru went hard as she desperately wanted to win there haha.

Our boy Ryuuto finally get to rub her head in addition to their usual fluff dating for the first time, so wholesome.

Waifus with guns! My fave gender.

Nicole cutting her nails and getting serious about the game was hilarious.

A survival game outting for the half of the episode wasn’t what I was expecting, but it turned out to be a very sweet moment for everyone. Nishi and Ichiji gotta be going thru it seeing Ryuto who was just a loser chilling with them everyday to dating one of the hottest girls in school. Bringing them along and having them get to know Runa’s friends was nice.

Luna and Nicole got fleshed out quite a bit in this segment as well. We already knew Nicole was really nice and considerate, but finding out that she and Luna are both really big otaku was great. The kpop references were a nice modern relevant touch to the story as well lol.

Even though they come from totally different worlds, turns out the boys have a lot in common with the girls. Hopefully those ships sail someday.

Runa apologising after saying she lost her earring and having Ryuto look for it was one of the most realistic anime scenes I’ve ever seen. Very minor scene but just makes you feel a lot more immersed when characters act like people.

They build on this when Runa talks about how she’s outgrown the need for the constant anniversaries and gifts and just wants to continue growing closer to Ryuto. I’m sure that was a massive relief to Ryuto hearing that she just wants to spend time with him and doesn’t need all the special stuff. After being taken advantage of for so long it’s so nice to see her legitimately in love and happy with someone who appreciates her.

And time for the cultural festival! Another realistic scene of literally no one wanting to help out with the event πŸ’€Maria throws her hat in the ring, but Runa joins as well.. this is gonna be spicy. Very much looking forward to it

I've read a novel reader's comment that something frustrating is coming soon that's why he's planning to drop so I think it's related to the new guy .

The ice! The ICE! Pay close attention to the iced drinks during the fami-res scene. The ice, they're all completely identical, everytime! omoshiroi!
It's not supposed to be a funny scene, it's not supposed to be that funny, but nevertheless I shamelessly laugh too much.... for the ice!

Having both nerds and gals playing airsoft together made for a really fun episode!
Followed by a really cute date for our two lovebirds.

The episode also ends on a decent cliffhanger which should make the end of the season interesting.

what a bad episode, it is the worst till now ig, bad drawing and worse animation, I died laughing on how much people would cringe watching this, haven't laugh that much for a long time, but it got better at that park what a good romantic moment part.
Ijichi and Nishina found new things in life better than those games and live streams πŸ˜†
I will be so happy if they break up at the end of this series, it will seem so real to the irl relations, or maybe I'm just too jealous of them.

Operation "Make friends with Maria Kurose" is not bearing any fruit, so for both Ryuto and Runa, they decide to play a survival game together with Ryuto's friends. OK...

Everyone has their fair share of fun, though I swear that Nicole is easily the demon gyaru of the game who has a hold on everyone. That said, the various boys and girls being otakus of their own kind, when it comes to romance, they take a step back and consider their stems, which for both Kasshi and Icchi...try better next time.

Once again, both Ryuto and Runa are on their own again, which is back to dates, and a kiss that Ryuto tastes Runa's peach tea-flavoured lipstick tint, she's falling more for him everytime. But Ryuto going back to cram school and noticing Maria, he escapes stealthily, only to be noticed by Sekiya who saves him out of trouble. But this is still a lingering trouble which he is able to help Ryuto divert away from Maria...and her stepping up to handle the cultural festival with Runa volunteering thereafter, Operation Friendship Plan can finally start.

I hope for nothing but the best in Runa's plan.

I guess he's Nicole's ex-boyfriend, since she said he was a chuunibyou, and that guy was taking about some ronin stuff, and he took a gap year, so that explains why Nicole probably didn't see him anymore + you can see him in intro close to Nicole.

Nice to see the nerds and gyarus having fun shooting each other lol, but really it was a fun time, I had a feeling at least one of the girls would get really into it, Nicole being the one makes a lot of sense, she definitely earned the title of demon gyaru lol. And the back and forths of nerding out was funny too, so the gyarus even have things they can go on and on about, I kinda relate to Akari (I think was her name) in being really into one particular band, although the band for me is a rock band lol.

And Runa and Ryuto having another date afterward was just bonus points pretty much, I especially loved the Ferris wheel bit, even if it’s little bits at a time I love seeing these two get closer and closer. And as for the last bit, I get that Ryuto doesn’t want to worry Runa, but he has just as much right to the cram school as Kurose does lol, but I guess now he has a backup plan with this guy that helped him out so I guess it worked out anyway, and how we have some sports festival goodness to look forward to as well so the next one should be fun.

Survival Game.. I guess it's... nice? to see a new idea thrown into the story completely on random. Other than that, basicaly the same stuff happening every episode + typical Ferris wheel kiss scene.. it's peaceful to watch, but it's nothing special.

Not the friends talking about normies lol demon gyaru and noob punks. Smart of Ryuto to bring everyone together! I thought otakus only applied to anime. Why is Nisshi so loud, bold, and a pervert? lmao head pats are so freaking cute. Runa had good character development, she no longer needs reassurance that Ryuto will not leave her. Why doesn't Ryuto tutor Runa so that they both get into a good school together? its so cringe that they keep talking about virginity, stooooop. What is a ronin?

This was a good and wholesome episode.

ugh...
Ryuuto's friends are so fkng cringe, are they gong to become even more important? I hope not.
I skipped almost the entire war games scene, the animation was TERRIBLE, and again, it was really damn cringe.

The episode became a bit better when Ryuuto and Runa had their date, but then it became total shit, Ryuto, a character that has become "better" with each episode since ep3, had to just go the most cringe and pathetic shit possible when he saw Maria at his cram school, holy shit, this dude has 0 dignity, I have seen lots of animes, and I can count with my fingers how many characters had made me feel so angry that I legit want to punch them, and this scene made Ryuuto become one of them. Every bit of character progression instantly gone for acting like the biggest dumbass crybaby of all time, hiding under his desk and crawling out of the room just because a girl he has no feelings for could have seen him? PATHETIC.

Runa always manages to make me like her more and more each week and this one is no exception. She seems pretty bold to accept an offer for the sports festival when no one else would volunteer but I'm sure she and Ryuuto will do well in the competition.

I loved the change of pace with Ryuuto's friends going out with the gals, and even getting along so well. It was fun, despite the contest of who could say the corniest phrase of the day. Even Nicole couldn't stay out of the corniness competition by saying Runa that she was an otaku/geek of something... Ryuto :S .

Second half of the episode was just more diabetes inducing scenes, and Runa shooting herself in the foot by the end. 3/5.

I had serious problems to finish this show. Each episode is more and more stupid. Don’t get me wrong, romance is working, animations are good, story is medicore but not terrible, so why I’m again so dissapointed? Let me tell you why... Again story has no progress, practically nothing happend in 8 episodes, normalizing child promiscuity, genericty, terrible characters, 0 logic, plot holes etc. Otherwise I had more and more problems with it and this episode was the last straw!
Why are they presenting 16 years old boys virgins as a louse, loseer, disgusting...
Why the fck it supposed to ne bad to be virgin in 16? Still mooore better than have multiple sex partners in this age as Runa, which brings you nothing good to stable long term realtionship.
I thought I’m gonna endure this "creation" for that few sweet and nice moments between main characters, but it’s not really worth it and I’m givin up!
