Lmao Aki think she slick. Inviting Himari to the band rehearsal room so she could see the chemistry between Aki and Yoo and get jealous. She’s so underhanded, but I like it. All’s fair in love and war and this show needed some spice. I really like her character so far and hopefully they make the romantic drama engaging.

It’s still hard watching these eps after Yorukura because the quality difference is so pronounced, but I did think this was my fave episode of this series so far. Perfect mix of cute Yori and Himari moments and drama.

Aki confessing to Himari of her love for Yori, and ultimately, this comes down to time where the 3rd Years don't exactly have enough time to hang around. Himari confiding to Momoka about her romantic troubles, she's a reliable Cooking Club Senpai to share her troubles with. The former trying to make a tart, but ended up with a salty one, Yori accepts all of her, except that Yori got all jealous by stopping her from going to Momoka, where Himari forgot her phone. As to her true feelings, that can be settled by the end of her next concert performance, but until then, she's eased up hanging out around Yori, giving her the chance to write a love song.

Himari being able to cook some cat-shaped cookies, and the band wanting her to be around, it's good for all, but not for Aki, who feels jealous that Yori is all over Himari. If anything, Aki helped Himari be confident of her feelings, and with the introduction to the Light Music Club, she finds rivalry with Mari, as much as Yori and Aki's pairing feels hurt to her heart. And everyone...just followed like they're anticipating Yori and Himari's wedding lols.

A 2nd date, waku waku.

I hope our main duo can be together asap, because they are just a perfect fit, but gotta say Aki is best girl and it pains me to see her still trying to help her Yori, while being in love with her.

Himari feeling the sting of noticing Yori and Aki's closeness gave me chills. The way they edited the music in that moment was very nice. Animation is whatever at this point. I'm over stressing about it. I love the story so much and can't wait to see more as they continue to properly follow the source material. Also, Shiho with the "filthy casual" sass at the end made me :)

Even though what Aki said to Himari was harsh, she's right, and I won't hold it against her because I really like her.

Hinari decided to give her answer to Yori after the concert, but it seems like Yori and Aki's band will have some kind of competition.

Don't know how many times I've heard some character say "I was happy just being by their side". Just never thought no one would go after them so you thought you had time. Now that Aki has told Himari how she feels about Yori kinda backfired. I thought she play the third year card a bit harder. Like telling Himari that she's just a first year and once Yori graduates she's not going to have time for her.

Bit confused on why she set up a date right after Himari told her when she's going to give Yori her answer.

Looking forward to the concert but I'm curious on why that Shiho girl thinks their band is better. Maybe she watched too much K-ON! and generalized light music club to that.
Notice: I read most manga in Japanese now so I'm not sure where you can read in English. Sorry in advance.

my favorite ep so far! was also glad to see the animation quality improve, and better transitions... not getting my hopes up about the band performance next ep, but I'm really looking forward to next ep either way

mad respect for Aki. I was honestly really surprised when she apologized for being so upfront with Himari, cuz I thought she was right to say a lot of the things she said (not that you can force someone to figure out their feelings). Between that and her continuing to be supportive of Yori-Hima even after that conversation, I'm really impressed with her emotional maturity.

also was surprised they corrected the 依 あたしがもらっちゃってもいいの? line they messed up last episode (where she said もらってのいいの? instead)... tho I don't get why they dropped her line about "this conversation is our little secret" after her sister came in... kinda lessened the tension without it.

momoka's advice was great too - nothing too concrete or pushy but just pointed out that maybe Himari was looking at things a bit too rigidly. I think I'm ok with the fact that they dropped Momoka's "wait Yori looks familiar... it can't be" moment, and added in the Shiho tsundere scene at the end.
@akatsukinoluna That line would've been a good idea to add. Was a bit curious on why her sister wasn't asking why Himari looked so down while she was eating the cake. Then again that would have just went into 何でもない territory.

Aki best girl.

Aki is now my favorite character. I just like her appearance, her style, her voice and her personality. I have nothing against Himari, but i still will support Aki.

About the anime: i really hate how bad the graphics are. The quality of the graphics is just awful and it gets worse with each episode. But at least its not 3d and there are still some cool drawn moments in each episode.

On the other hand soundtrack sounds interesting and something unusual.

im looking forward to the concert and confession and btw it seems there will be a new song at the concert!

Woah, we made some progress this time. I feel a bit bad for Aki but I do hope Himari and Ypri end up together and that it isn't too difficult. I am however a bit scared that the other band will interfere somehow

Anyway Momoka cementing herself as best girl but that is beside the point

hmm, I didn't notice that, but Miki actually does ask in the manga. Tho it immediately cuts to the next scene without showing us their conversation. Like you said, probably woulda just been a 誤魔化す / 何でもない moment anyway

Quality of the animation definitely improved. Wondered if they intentionally wanted to put more into the back half or if things shuffled around during production.

Seeing Himari jealous is sweet. Aki made a quick heel turn, too.

Ah I see. Interesting. I really should start reading it. Seems like I'm missing out on some inner monologue here and there that will flesh the story and characters out a bit more.

After waiting, Himari will express her feelings for Yori after the concert. That means now Yori has to try to appear optimal in front of Himari at the concert.

I liked this episode, Himari and Yori had some good moments this time, and so did Aki.

Things are really heating up now.

With Himari joining the cooking research club, Yori expresses her concerns about potentially losing her position as a senior to Momoka, the president of the Cooking Club. Meanwhile, Himari is approached by Aki, who confesses her romantic feelings for Yori. Stirred by this revelation, Himari finds herself once again troubled by matters of love, prompting her to confide in Momoka about her inner turmoil. Upon hearing Momoka's thoughts on "liking" someone, Himari contemplates her own feelings.

I can't shake the feeling that Momoka's explanation is oversimplified. I understand love can manifest in various ways, and Himari certainly has her own approach, but something doesn't quite add up for me. Anyway, even though they're not officially a couple yet, it's only because Himari is naive. It's difficult to see two people love each other so deeply but not take the next step. That twinge of pain... it seems like you're a little jealous and in love, Himari. Embrace the yuri. That pain means you're gay, Himari... embrace it... PLEASE.

As for Aki... she's both a wingwoman and a rival... I'm not quite sure how to feel about her yet.

Did you read the manga? I ask this because I don't want to make spoilers!

Come on. It's not like Himari was going to wait months to give a proper response. Aki practically forcing her to figure out her feelings looked more pathetic than anything else. *sigh* If only she had used that bravado to confess to Yori when she still had the chance smh.

Overall, a meh episode for me but at least Momoka's scenes kinda made up for the lame drama.

That cute and sad for Yori to be jealous over Momoko-senpai, and Himari over Aki, and Aki over Himari lol.

Momoko-senpai is a great WingWoman.

Aki is a trope I hate. Confess or don't but don't be some in between asshole because you don't have the guts. They have one of these in like 60% of romances. Some character who is all "I loved X for years" yeah well dipshit you didn't act on it so move along. You even have time to act on it literally right now with more reason to do so now then ever and still won't, so well and truly fuck off.

Ok Aki just came off different last episode because she wants the best for someone she loves which is now understandable this ep when she appologises. She realises that she may have seemed rude, W Aki and I hope she can keep up her personality around Yori.

My favorite aspect about this show might be the open & honest communication, they really wear their hearts on their sleeves & it never takes them long to be upfront about how they're feeling even if it sounds embarrassing, like Yori telling Himari about her lil burst of jealousy when she saw about to run over to Momoka & Himari being real about asking for advice about their situation. It's so refreshing to see compared to the common misunderstanding tropes lol

I really feel sorry for Aki. She seems pretty nice and is handling things fairly well.

Yori is so cute sometimes and Himari is so considerate

I do like a good little wrench in the equation. Both the girls wear their hearts on their sleeves, and both of em are now unsettled by the current situation.

We just need for Himari to become the master chef whose cooking makes brains burst. Definitely the way to get to Yori's heart. Although now that I think about it, they never showed her giving any food before now. Bless the soul that loves tarts even if they're salty.

I have to wonder if pinning the fate of their pseudo relationship on this concert is gonna stress her out too much when the time draws closer. She already said once she wasn't in singing for the sake of the crowd. She's just going all out for Himari. Himari gets to feel what Yoru felt before, if only she could identify what the pain in her heart is.

Ah, this episode was so much better than the last two. I'll take it.

Things are certainly getting moving in the potential relationship here, a second date, and Himari feeling jealous, at the end there for a second.

Next episode seems to be a big one, I really hope they do it well.

This episode explored the very real awkward position of being that friend who loves their friend, romantically, but having to wingman them instead. At the same time, Kino has some real challenges, of which I personally find so relatable. Great episode
