| They didn't have to THEY REALLY DIDN'T HAVE TO DO IT and they did... they really loved the manga and I FUCKING LOVE THAT |
 |
| Shizuka's intoductory chapter in the manga is really beautiful and Bibury did really reflect that with a WONDERFUL episode. Also the TTS app is exactly what I was asking: Shizuka's voice but with that text-to-speech "accent" that will make it even more funny in the future gags. |
| this episode made me tear up and laugh and smile hooly fucking peak keeps getting better and better ;-; |
 |
| Another great episode, they really struck a perfect balance of the comedy and the heartfelt more serious side as well. I feel like they're getting comfortable with the material as well. We must protect Shizuka at all costs. I fear the day when this adaptation ends already. |
| "Did your damn brain rot away?!" Yes. Yes it did. And I'm all for it. While the first two episodes are quite literally a comedy gold mine, episode three is a slightly darker turn of events. Shizuka with a more traumatic backstory on being bullied due to her shyness and reluctance to speak loudly, while we can see how caring and compassionate Rentaro is behind his chad energy. He may be stuck in a mega harem but he can care for each and every girl with his full heart. That TTS app section and the confession, what a surprisingly emotional and carthatic moment between the two. Damnit dude, I felt emotional throughout the flashbacks and that sequence. Oh and we mustn't forget about the Karane and Hakari and their hilarious reactions to a third girlfriend. That's three down with 97 MORE TO GO. Darker course of an introduction but one with a sweet ending to it, what an unexpected yet great episode. Have a beautiful Sunday :] |

| Yoshimoto Shizuka reminds me of Sumi Sakurasawa from Rent a Girlfriend. |
 |
| Wow. Shizuka's introduction was really beautiful. Something I didn't expect out of this anime. Like her namesake, Shizuka's the quiet type. I like her. Which makes me feel a bit sad that she's only going to be the 3rd girlfriend out of 100 total of Rentaro... |
| Meek girls communicating with everything but their mouths is my fav religion ngl |
| It was a very good adaptation for this episode, and I liked the imagery of the fantasy kind of romance novel setting and how the anime brought it to life here to match Shizuna's romance here in this episode. Pacing, flow and everything else about this was simple but fairly well executed overall. Love that iconic balcony too at the end, can't wait to see that a million times as the series progresses. Only 97 to go. |
very solid first half of introducing a new girl and very funny second half "brainrot epidemic!"  Must protect the precious and cute Shizuka Yoshimoto!! ---- @Stark700 I think her name is Shizuka** not Shizuna. I know you always try to be one of the first create an ep thread, but this one confused most of us here. Please edit and correct the name. ---- In response to the Sokah's post below: 1. I understand why he has to type it manually. They're high school students. Scanning and converting to etext do come with a fee, not every printing shop in Japan have this option, so it depends on where they live. 2. You're missing the medium (book) and charm (story) that connect both Rentarou and Shizuka together. We don't need a 100% clone from another series. Anime is fiction. It's okay for anime to be different to use "text to speech" than texting as communication. It is written so she could communicate with others through her favorite storybook. This give more originality to her character. |

| He typed it all in manually because he's an idiot. Also it would be faster for her to type it than find it. Or just, you know, not have such a stupid affectation and just talk. |
| Shizuka is Nanako from Senryuu Shoujo and Sumi in petite body xD So far I'm enjoying this far more than expected and I guess it can't become dull if this keeps adding new characters like Komi. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I kind of like this Shizuka girl and the way she "speaks". What an enjoyable episode. But I also would love one of those "Gangsta" knifes. Where can I get one? |

| @Sokah Yeah that was silly and it would've taken longer than 3 days. There is software available that can convert pictures into text (most likely for a fee though) so I thought that he just took pictures of each page. Also, I'm not a fan of the girls that can't speak (like Komi) but this was still a decent episode, especially the reactions from the 2 existing girlfriends when Rentaro introduced them to gf #3. |
| what the fuck is this!!!? how can this be so good?!? How can this be so sad, so wholesome, and so hilariously stupid at the same time? Why is the tsundere soooo GOOD? The confession scene. God damn! Still... I'm worried at the premise. It's so over the top that it can't possibly make good on it. Somewhere, something will go beyond the line of stupid, I just know it. I just don't want to binge the manga to find out :D |
| Progress: 3/100. Shizuka joins the group, and she's great! The comedy took a step back this episode, understandably so, as Shizuka was a much different character to Hakari and Karane. Shizuka is the shyest girl so far in this series, and a librarian, who talked through her favourite book, Circlet Love Song, and I thought it was an interesting way to portray a shy character. I didn't think the backstory was really necessary, but it further emphasizes how much having Rentarou around meant to her, since he was kind and accepting of her personality. The emotional moments were directed very well, and I'm not gonna lie, I shed a tear. The best episode so far in my opinion in terms of character introductions, and I'm really looking forward to where we go from here. |
| Looks like the comedy took a backseat this episode, and honestly I think it’s good that it did giving how Shizuka has an upsetting backstory, and it also made for that great moment where Shizuka confessed despite knowing about Rentarou’s orange and pink partners in crime lol, it was a sweet moment for sure. And Shizuka has a Sumi/Komi thing going on which is interesting and cute (and btw I like Rent a Girlfriend and also this show, whoa that’s crazy), I like the aspect that she uses a book to talk to people, and now with Rentarou’s help she has a version of the book with text to speech that makes it easier to talk to others, i said in one of the discussion threads for another show that Rentarou has his girls handed to him and while that’s still true, the man is absolutely dedicated and that’s pretty cool lol. Definitely looking forward to seeing how Shizuka fits in with the other girls and what wildness may ensue. |
| Not hilarious as the first 2 eps but really sweet and kawaii, this series is pure gold. |
| Shizuka is the cutest character we've seen in a long time! Must protect! |
 |
| Shizuka so adorable. "Must protec at all costs" type of girl. Didn't expect to see her getting abused by mom and classmates... *rage face* Surprised that the blondie is the only one to make sense lol. Rotting brains :D Will she have a heart attack after 4th and 5th gf? :D Guess she'll just give up. |
| Shizuka is way too adorable! She definitely doesn't deserve that ruthless treatment from her peers and mom simply because she's shy! I'm glad Rentaro is such a great soulmate and was able to help her even slightly. |
 |
| not as many gags this time. mostly it was sad. but we now 3% done |
 |
| Boring girl. Reminds me of Shiori from The World God Only Knows except Shiori is better. |
| It's unironically refreshing to see a harem anime where the main character isn't afraid or hesitant to act on his desire at all – if all lovegons were resolved with polyamory, maybe I wouldn't have so much beef with the romance genre, lmao. Rentaro is shamelessly collecting new girls left and right, but he still manages to stay likeable due to the lengths he's willing to go for all of his love interests and the fact that he communicates his genuine emotions regularly. The show even acknowledges the absurdity of the situation through Karane's character yet simultaneously manages to make it feel like bringing new girlfriends into a relationship is an acceptable, everyday occurrence... This show is actually way more well-written and wholesome than I ever expected, haha. Speaking of Rentaro's determination, the fact that he copied the entire book for Shizuka manually was so sweet! And even sweeter was seeing her be moved by the gesture after her backstory had been revealed... (〒﹏〒) Cheap formula, but it hits. |
   |
| Perfection. I love the extra scenes taking place in Circlet Love Story and those scenes not only fill out extra time but also elevates Shizuka and Rentaro’s growing relationship. A really well done episode. |
| This episode was so well done man it made me cry ngl |
| Shizuka is so sweet and cute!!! She is definitely my favorite so far! |
| "Do you want me to take you away... to a place in this city where wishes come true?" |
| Not quite as explosive and funny as the first two episodes, but really sweet! Shizura is so cute, I just want to hug her and tell her everything will be alright xD I fear between Thirsty & Tsundere, I fear the worst for her is yet to come. Love isn't all cute & corny as in her favorite book. But Rentaro will certainly help her out. Unless another Soulmate appears... |
| BRILLIANT. Shizuka is just soooooo cute... But wait Rentarou, don't you know how to OCR? |
| This will be my dropping point. I was trying not to fast forward at all points. I guess one thing that ruined the episode for me is how often I see the quiet type character in anime. She has the sense of humor of a dried squid, and had no spine at all. Even TWGoK chic knows when to talk back. I usually like harems, but not ones where the fem Cs can't do anything outside worshipping the mc as a god. This episode lacked comedy I watched it for, and I could never respect this as a romance. Lol |
