| I swear, every character in this series overthinks on the same wavelength. Riku is giving everyone a hard time even in that aspect, somehow, lol. Btw, it’s very noble of Raidou… the boyfriend Raidou, to plan a birthday party for Aharen, but how in the world did this guy forget he has his birthday on the same day?!?! Lmaooo. Appreciate that larger-than-life gift xD Guys were enjoying their summer time on the beach just a couple of episodes back and yeah, now it’s the christmas. I mean understandable as well since they tend to adapt chapters randomly, though yeah, I’m kinda sad Raidou and Aharen’s christmas date got cut short, since Aharen wasn’t feeling well, still at the end of the day, they made memories, in many ways than one. Dodged a bullet there with mama Aharen though. Lol. |
| This was such a wholesome episode with lots of emotions. With Reina's upcoming birthday, Raidou gifts her his life-size doll, only for Reina to gift Raidou his own life-size doll. Now, Raidou has a set of life-size dolls of both Reina and himself. Riku's thoughts were funny, whether it was about being included or when Raidou asked her favorite thing, and Mitsuki thinking that Raidou would propose to her when he asked what would make her happy. It's fun and pure enjoyment to see these characters thinking some extraordinary shit in normal situations. Those journals that Raidou wrote somehow give off that chunibyo vibe, and when he took home Ren's journal by mistake, he once again made assumptions about Reina doing some forbidden ritual and stuff. Poor Reina, her Christmas date got ruined by her fever, but she was looking really pretty in that outfit. We were also introduced to Reina's mother, Ai, and she's a sweet mother. The ending was really the sweetest moment of the episode. A lot of blushing from Reina, some fluff moments, and a promise to stay together in the future—with these things, the episode concluded. |

| Such a cute episode Aharen and Raidou are just the most adorable couple. |
| the birth of Venus Reina killed me at the beginning. the life-sized doll joke is a gift that keeps on giving it seems. really love Reina's mom. glad we got to know her after almost two whole seasons :D |
slice of life anime, my one and only. >3 2D>>>>>> |
| Too cute! That was the best birthday present lol, too bad Aharen felt sick but Raidou could meet her mother, and now Aharen decided that she wants to become a teacher! |
 |
| One tip for couples is always to remember their birthdays. The contents of the diary though lol. Too bad about their date though. Nice to finally be able to meet Reina's mom. Graduation is always gonna be the first real trial. Being a teacher is a admirable goal for Reina. |

| How can this show be so silly and touching. The Taiyaki part made me laugh harder than it should, I was sure that Raidou was going to misunderstand Reina thinking that she would like to open a store or something like that, not getting into the bean stock market. |
| Reina and Raido made my week yet again award! Have we ever seen a birthday and Christmas episode in the same episode ?!! This was double the celebration and double the cuteness. We deserve it. Raido trying to find Aharen a gift for her birthday and asking everyone had me cracking up. I’m like dude just ask your girlfriend and get it out the way instead of making Riku fantasise about you proposing to her 😭glad he eventually did and of course it’s Reina so she wanted something simple, a party with her friends. How tf did Raido forget it’s his birthday too tho lmao. Now they both have matching life sized doll sets of one another. Kinda weird, but hey, whatever works for you lmao. The diary exchange bit was sooo funny. Raido reminds me of Kyo from Bokuyaba, did not expect his diary to be pure chuuni delusion. Bless his heart. Reina’s on the other hand foreshadows her desire to be an art teacher. She’ll make a great one I’m sure. Christmas date! Too bad it got cut short because of Reina’s cold, but it worked out for the best in the end because Raido finally got to meet Reina’s mom and learn about reina’s future/career plans! It’s sweet that they’re already onboard with Reina going to uni in another prefecture. You can always see each other on breaks or go visit, I believe nothing’s tearing these knuckleheads apart ❤️ Awesome episode as usual |

| Botticelli's Birth of Reina "Spare my life!" Mercy granted Riku dearheart, but you are mine, now. I can't get enough of Reina holding Matsubohi's arm with two hands. "You don't have to" Gifting is not supposed to be about 'have to'. Make's sense that Matsuboshi was a chuunibyou in middle school. Matsuboshi a chad with Christmas for just Reina without the security of the friend circle. These two are just so abso-freakingly good for each other; they just keep developing their relationship and characters and growing because of and for each other. They are the goddamn model for what a teen relationship should be. Its enough to make this Evil Overlord worry about the future of Evil Empires. |

| How the hell do you forget your birtday? And then both Aharen and Raido come up with the same oddly specific present. This series is too much xD But good to know that Raido would still be with Aharen even if she sacrificed human lives. That's true love. A lot happened today. From the birthday party, Christmas to meeting Aharen's mom at last. She's an emotional one. Would've been crazy if she came into the room while Raido was on top of Aharen, lol. Now I can't wait to see her dad. And some more serious topics such as future plans were adressed. Maybe my favorite episode this season, since this one had plenty of progression. We still had the usual antics and even more wholesomeness than usual. |

| Where do Reina and Raido even get a life sized statue of him? lol And everyone plays it off as if its a normal gift including Reina's mom. I know that gag has been ongoing since S1 since Raido got a statue of Reina from her. Anyways, this was another wholesome episode with the main couple going out for Christmas only for Reina to get a fever and her initially thinking that Raido was going to kiss her in public when he checked her forehead. Nice to see her recover fairly fast and we got to meet her mom who is a nice lady. |
| What a cute boyfriend: Raido set out to find the perfect birthday gift for Aharen and completely forgot that his own birthday was on the same day. And to top it off, they both ended up getting each other the same gift. This anime is seriously *XD*. (By the way, I wonder if they made the gift themselves or just bought it; it would be quite strange if they bought it in a store.) In any case, the gift was absolutely perfect for Aharen 😏. We finally met Aharen's mother, and it's clear that the one with the strong genes is her. It was a cute episode on their birthdays and Christmas spending it together, but I'm excited if they get to show them together in college as well. |
 |
| Wow, this episode felt like it really had the quality of S1. So far S2 didn't really click for me tbh. |
| How cheap is a life-size statue in that universe? More progress to the relationship. Raido met the Reina's mother. |

| @MomoSinX I am liking it a bit better than S1. The comedy is not quick so wacky and does not get as many laughs, but , yeah, the earliest episodes tend to get the writers best jokes in any show. What really impresses me is how well they continue to incrementally build and strengthen the relationships between the characters and how the characters continue to mature and grow. |

| Looks like Raido-kun isn't thew only one with a wildly ridiculous thought process here... :D |
 |
| Really wholesome episode. Why did everyone overthink everything this episode? First it was Raidou, now Riku and Oshiro? Who's next? Ren??????? I loved how Raidou got Aharen a life-sized doll of himself for her but Aharen got the same thing for him. It was so stupid but funny at the same time. Too bad that Aharen got a fever but, at least we got to see her Mom out of her getting a fever. Her Mom is really nice, great Mom. 5/5 |
| Raidou's room is looking a little creepy now |

| Last thing I was expecting in this episode was Aharen’s mom, Ai, I guess I was just convinced we’d never see the parents so it surprised me lol. And she is quite the cute mom, I guess now we have every edition of Aharen, the boy version, the original version, the older sister version, and now the MILF version, I liked that line where Ai said that Raido probably wouldn’t want to spend Christmas with Aharen’s mom, but ma’am you don’t know how much of a privilege this is lol, but Raido doesn’t have as dirty a mind as I do. Instead the convo was steered to Aharen going to college, a bit of a big reveal but it makes sense that they’d eventually need to think about college, it would be a shame if the chill duo was separated but I liked what Raido said about it not mattering if they’re apart or not, really sweet moment. And it was actually through the exchange diary that Aharen even thought to go to that particular college, being to become an art teacher, I think that’s fitting for her but maybe bring a megaphone to the classroom if she doesn’t ever work on the soft voice lol. And speaking of the exchange diary bit, I loved the inner chuunibyou in Raido coming out in the diary entries, but what was even funnier than that was Raido somehow inventing a sacrificial ritual out of Ren’s drawing lol, it was honestly pretty metal, but unfortunately the truth wasn’t as cool as Raido thought. And lastly, going back to the first bit of the episode, it was a cute double birthday party, there were no hints that it was Raido’s birthday too so that was a wholesome reveal. And although it made absolutely no sense, Aharen got Raido a life-sized version of himself for his birthday right after he got her the same, let’s call it a happy accident lol, and Raido’s room gets even more crazy as a result, I really love that running gag. |
| well the first ever appearance of the Aharen PARENTS finally happened... and of course their mom is proof the 3 siblings are carbon-copies of her. :D it was hilarious that the Mrs. put out a whole dining-room table FULL of treats and sweets etc. for Raido to snack on while they talked... i guess mom's overabundant cooking style rubbed off on the kids. ;> i figured the couple would make an appearance at the 'group Xmas Party' but then veer off on their own later on. haha and finding out their birthdays are nigh on simultaneous with Xmas is going to make their relationship INTERESTING and yet EASY to remember those special days. :D is it just me or what Raido said about the rituals and suchforth during the exchange diary mixup sound like he was proposing marriage to Reina?? |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
| Great episode, such a nice romcom. Aharen's mom is hot, that made it the best episode yet. |
| VA listed for Aharen Mom is wrong. Very cute episode tho. Reina being carried on Raidou's back was adorable. |

| The birthday party, the Christmas date, meeting Reina's mom.. everything about this episode was so beautiful ✨💖 Raido and Reina sharing the same birthday 🫰 Too bad the Christmas date had to end short but we got to meet Reina's mom and she's just like how I expected her to be 😄❤️ Reina and Raido going separate colleges is unbearable but Raido promising Reina that they would always meet again no matter where they are..🥹🥹❤️ |

| @Piromysl It always makes me crack seeing Raido and Reina together on a date. It's like he's dating a elementary schooler but they're cute though 😄❤️ |

| @Master_Yoma it always has been lol |
| Oshino and Riku overthinking about Raidou's questions before fleeing was pretty funny, but this episode really excelled more in being wholesome to the point of bursting. The shared birthday party for the both of them was cute and it showed how much of a shared mind they have when they both gave each other the same life-sized Raifou doll as a present. The shared diary was also a cute part as well, but I enjoyed the last part the most, where Raidou met up with Reina before taking her home because of her fever. It was also an introduction to Reina's mother, Ai. She's a really nice mother, even going all out with the many biscuits and sweets for Raidou while talking to him. It was this discussion where it focused on what Reina would do for college. This is where Raidou was at his very best. Not only was he adamant that his romantic relationship with Reina would stay strong regardless if she goes to a different college than him, but he also encouraged Reina to focus on the thing that she wanted to do the most, hence her goal in becoming an art teacher. Not only Reina moved to tears with Raidou's confident speech, but her Ai was bawling her eyes out in sheer happiness, bless her. =) |

| @Zarutaku 10/10 episode. Might just be my favorite episode of the season. |

| Man, Riku can be so relatable sometimes. Her reaction when she realized she was attending a birthday party (followed by a surprise birthday party for Raidou lol) was so adorable. Everything about her is adorable~ Another lovely episode. Raidou and Reina received more development as a couple and we also got to see Reina's mother making her official debut. Gotta say tho... oh man, Mama Aharen's genes sure are strong asf. |
| Lol, his doll really looks alike. There seems no different from their looks XD |

| Now all that's missing is Reina's father to meet, but I still miss Toubaru-sensei's presence in the narrative. |
 |
| A life sized doll of Raido is turning out to be quite the popular gift. It's Aharen approved! Raido's demon lord diary entries were full of spirit. I guess even a demon lord can appreciate their first meal of the day. Raido met up with Ai Aharen, Reina's mom. Yet after his moving speech, she ended up crying tears of joy! I think that means it went well. |
 |
| Raido learning from Ren that Aharen's brithday is coming up, and requests to ask aout gifts, though to each girl's overthinking that gets them all riled up, like Oshiro thinking of a marriage proposal, and Tamanaha thinking that he's going to torture her. Still, his worries had her worry too, though he finally comes clean with her, and she expects just a simple birthday party. A life-sized Raido doll for a gift, and a return surprise "imagine" birthday party for Raido...though with the same life-sized Aharen doll, yelp lol... Raido's old diaries exposing a part of his chuuni days, gets an exchange diary with Aharen with her writing quite the epic story, and Raido wanting to match it, his confession is more than enough lol. But for Reina to tell him that she swapped books with Ren, the "apple ritual" is not quite that epic story though... The first Christmas as a couple, amidst the party with friends...and for all of it to come crashing down with a fever, Raido clearly is concerned with Aharen and her sadness for being sick, though she needs not worry too much. The carry-on back to Aharen's place is nice for Raido, and they end up making more memories by Aharen thinking she's got Raido's dollm and thankfully there's the substitute and the real thing, greeted by her mother Ai and meeting for the first time. The thing is, Aharen thinking of going to college in another town to chase her dream of becoming an art teacher, and Raido feeling the same no matter if they're together or apart, reassures her all the more. Have more confidence, Aharen. |
