| I try not to post negative comments, but unless this show tackles the darker themes it shows with some sense of moral debate to be had its so far just depicting a run away teen who has suffered abuse at the hands of many people so she can keep off the streets. Which is a thing, but the show itselfs almost looks to be on track where affer suffering loads of abuse we going to get a happy ending because one guy wasn't willing to exploit a vulnerable person and how its handling this story is just crass at the moment. |

| 30 seconds this anime starts and already there is 'ahem' sex' ahem scene. But this is really sad scene though for Sayu (and fuck that douchebag), so I'm really glad she found a good person who takes care of her |

Marinate1016 said: Sayu reminds me so much of my ex and many a girls I’ve been with before. To women like that, they have a lot of emotional trauma and associate sex with being wanted and loved. They don’t know how to receive love in any other way. Good on Yoshida for not taking advantage of her emotional trauma and genuinely trying to show her another side of life. We get plenty of LNs/anime where the older guy and the younger girl fall in love and end up getting together, but the concept of both of them coming into each other’s lives and teaching each other life lessons before moving on is so much more powerful. Yep. met many women the same way also. Good on you and others for recognizing this instead of just calling her 'dumb'. In fact, I don't know if I tend to attract the type or not, but fully half of the women I've been with have had a similarly sad attitude toward sex, like it was expected of them whether they wanted it at the time or not because otherwise they were afraid I'd leave. I truly hope it's not as common as it looks like to me through my personal experience. Also 100% agree on your comment about Yoshida, although I'm hesitant to say much more because I don't know where the story is going, and how it will get there. I've already asked myself, "If their relationship is still progressing after say, three years or something, would I feel any different then?" I'm not even sure at this point. But I welcome the chance to find out! |

My candies:  |
| He has some sense in life I guess, and I hope it gets good and no more slut moves lmao |
| That opening scene was very disturbing considering her circumstances. It was interesting how Yoshida didn't even care that Mishima was there with Sayu. He was just worried about Sayu. That tells me that he has no interest for Mishima. Not that it wasn't already obvious, but that scene confirmed it to me even more. I'm not liking the fact that all the girls seem to like Yoshida. Even Gotou seems like she's starting to like him. I'm not into harem, so it's a bit annoying. It's there just to create drama. |
| Yoshida the ulitimate good guy |

| About the opening scene. For Sayu, is this intended as a memory or a dream? Or, is it unclear so far? As in was she recalling a past experience in an apartment with one of "those other guys," just dreaming it in her sleep, or was it not truly clear from the episode |

As in was she recalling a past experience in an apartment with one of "those other guys," just dreaming it in her sleep, or was it not truly clear from the episode Yoshida is the man!! - To be able to say no to Sayu whilst she was like that,and also to be able to explain to her why he was refusing her showed just how good his character is. And as for Sayu,she is way too cute,but also very vulnerable. Going to be interesting seeing Yoshida explain all this to Yuzuha next episode :) The art style for this is quite good,but what I find really amazing is the use of music(not just the OP/ED)throughout.The music playing while Sayu was thinking to herself before she left was really on point,and the music playing at the end while they were talking just fit the scene. |
 |
| So I was hesitant to watch this cause people were crying how horrific that scene was. Wow that scene was so overblown by these retards on the forum crying about it. Christ that was nothing didn't even show her tits. |
 |
| Yoshida is an absolute giga-chad. I really appreciate that his reason for turning down sleeping with her goes beyond just, "You're a child and I'd be in trouble," or, "I'm just not attracted to you." He felt and acknowledged his attraction to her, and then made a moral decision. |

AnimeAdventurer said: This show is trying really hard to appeal to guys in their late 20s or older who have had little to no experience with women and have borderline pedo tendencies. The girl is said to be 16 but from the way she looks, she could easily be younger than 16. Getting over that, a grown man offering shelter to an underage girl is just straight up creepy. He should have contacted the authorities and/or the parents. People here claim that he has power over her but chooses to be gentle/humble and not take advantage. I would argue it's the other way around. In the #metoo era, she could go to the police and claim she was held in his apartment against her will. I know it's one's word against another but then the authorities would ask "why would a grown man host a 16 year old girl in his house?". Anyway, getting back to my initial statement. This anime has been characterized as "wholesome" by some individuals because MC is a "good guy" and not using the girl like countless other dudes did before him. This point is addressed over and over in the anime. "Why isn't he using me?". MC is such a chad, for not taking advantage of a minor. Meanwhile there are literal minutes of panties and boobs shots with the only purpose of "fanservice" which ruins the "wholesome" facade it's trying to portray. What is it about a person in their underwear that's got you soooo excited. Are you perhaps a child? |

When have I ever implied that "the anime fandom are ALL FILLED WITH PEDOPHILES"?? TokidoRalte said: Criticiza said: Well that was uncomfortable but much needed for character development I'd say. We see her past and understand what she's feeling and having gone through with that. Yes, thank you! At least one person here isn't thinking with his dick and isn't a pedophile. I mean, getting off of a girl forced into sexual labor as favor is just sick. Despite the depressing scene at the start, this episode does very well how Hoshino always felt.. she's doesn't enjoy the sexual favor but simply likes the idea that she can return a favor, that feeling of being needed pushed her down a slippery slope.. and it was so wholesome that the MC handled her fear and issues at the end. This episodes did very in handling the elephant in the room, it took me on an emotional rollercoaster.. the dialogue from the three characters were all amazing. Now I just wish the anime fandom isn't filled with pedophiles, judging from the posts I've swiped passed so far. The love rectangle that's about to ensue is something I'm looking forward to cuz it seems his office kouhai also has thrown in the gauntlet. Although I'd prefer it'd be a love triangle since I can't stand the bitch that is his boss, with her boobs only her somewhat redeeming factor. All in all, it's been a while I've watched a rom-com slice of life that makes me depressed as much as it makes me happy and hopeful. 9/10 Bruh, maybe you have a bad memory but that's EXACTLY what you said. April 20, 1:50 PM. So don't lie and go "I NEVER SAID THAT" cause you absolutely said it. この馬鹿 |

| Worst episode.. very cliché. Every other character except Yoshida and his friend is intolerable. Not my taste... very bad writing. Yoshida should have straight up asked about her past or gone to police station. Can't she imagine how broken her parents must be if they were this kind and close to her... Sayu her self is soo badly written and presented that i can't empathy her but feel cringe and angry. |

_PALS_ said: Can't she imagine how broken her parents must be if they were this kind and close to her... If you're reffering to the scene in the park, where she explains why she ran away. She was talking about Yoshida and running away from him, not her parents. It's more clear in the manga |

_PALS_ said: In the park when she was asked if her parents were bad with her then she replied that they were kind and close to her. But she really meant Yoshida. It's very clear in the manga, where she says it herself in her internal monologue "I should talk about Yoshida" It's confusing in the anime, as we don't hear her internal monologues. But even so, it's obvious, that what she says, describes her relationship with Yoshida perfectly |

Just to be clear, it's really obvious she's talking about Yoshida in the anime too, and just in case you didn't get it they even have Yuzuha say "Were we talking about the same person?" So you're basing your criticism off of your own flawed understanding of what's going on. You no doubt have no idea of the different layers of meaning behind Sayu's attempt to seduce Yoshida directly after that scene either. |

Start from 11:13 Yuzuha - "Did you get into fight with your parents?" Sayu - "No, we didn't. We were close and they were unbelievably nice." This was the scene i was talking about. How could i understand her intention if i haven't read manga. I am going with the ride and i will criticize until it's clear. |

Nope, that's deliberate, of course Yuzuha would say parents, and Sayu is not about to correct her is she, so she answers in a way that sounds like she's answering Yuzuha but is actually Sayu talking about her relationship with Yoshida. |

| What a bomb in the beginning... pretty dark. So everything is true. This completely changes the dynamics of this show. But this episode was still really good. Her parents probably abused her (or her new step-father) which would be the reason why she don't want to come back. Or he mother simply found someone else and told her she is just interfering.. high school girls really runs from home for less. And to all people who think watching this story is off-putting - things like this happens in the real life too, you know. Let's not pretend girls like her doesn't exists. Girls like her deserve happy life too. The amount of naked body they shown was perfectly enough to prove their point and whole character building going on in parallel was very well done. The fact that she was desperate and only knew one thing to prevent her 'rejection' like many times before was only telling. Even the scene with Mishima was pretty well-though, even more that they evaded classic anime-misunderstanding and let Sayu understand immediately that she is talking about him (she's clever girl after all). Even better it seems Sayu will be tied to other people from his work too and everyone will grow to like her which seems like nice future developement. Also, the guy in the beginning looked awfully similiar to his coworker who tried to coerce him into disclosing whether he has a girlfriend or not. If that is true than shit is going get real later on when he returns from business trip. Man, but I'm glad she got it off her shoulders so early into the game. If my hunch correct, this show turns out to be about finding your own happiness among crowd of friend and people who wants the best for her and about standing again after your life was reduced to crawl. Also about daily life with 'completely normal' high school girl with some ingenuous teasing between them here and there. In the end, if she finds jobs and returns to the school things will end well (but with some drama in-between). I honestly like this show doesn't shy away from this difficult topic, it faces straight to it and goes right to the point. And let's not forget Godou too, she grabs my heart too and there is probably more going on even with her. Honestly, now it really feels like the only good ending to this would be if he ended with her and Saya as their "daughter" living with them, toghether. Such ending would be awesome. |

| Poor Sayu. She's been sleeping with a lot pervert men. And what a small world, it looks like she slept with Yoshida's coworker. Good thing Yoshida found Sayu, what a fate encounter. Yoshida's like Sayu's father or older brother, and it's very clear that Yoshida is not in love with Sayu. So who's gonna his final partner, Gotou or Mishima?  |
Syureria said: I got a warning before the anime starts, that this episode contains an adult element. Ma, that's right. as I thought they had sex in the beginning. I was really tempted by it, even though it's not a hentai genre but it really arouses my lust. Sayu really sleeps with any ugly Bastard, even so Sayu has a blank stare at anyone sex partner, That expression was like that of a girl who was addicted to sex. Even though it was just for a while but I really enjoyed it, yeah give me more Sayu. ? wtf did I just read bro, chill out.... lol if you're getting hot and bothered over that scene you're completely missing the dark, fucked up tone it was trying to set. ...am I misinterpreting what you wrote? cause wtf |
| Shivers along the entire episode. Heart attack when she got naked. Screamed like a fucking goal when Yoshida rejected her and until the end. I mean, like a 93rd minute screamer goal against your rival to win the Copa Libertadores or Champions League. The series baited me that it would go to a horrible way. And those last minutes restored my hopes on it. Sayu still beautiful and cute, sadly her experiences got her to act like that. And Yoshida? The top-tier DEFINITIVE GOD |

| Honestly, there's a big problem with this show. And that is not in it's plot or characters. The problem is the immense amount of unnecessary fanservice. Important conversation is taking place between Sayu and Yoshida about life, mistakes etc. and the entire time the focus is on Sayu's boobs and ass. That was absolutely unnecessary and stupid. Hope they don't do shit like this in the upcoming episodes. Apart from that, a great episode. |
 |
| I can't help but think about the hipocrisy on yoshida's words, he alledges he can't be with sayu because she doesn't love her, but then right before he was drooling at gotou boobs which seems to be like the only reason he likes her, that's extremely superficial. Not even like i approve him being with sayu but jeez, it's just really disingenuous. Also as i thought he is completely clueless about mishima, probably will friendzone her just to be with one of the other two crazy girls, yare yare. |
Devils_prodigy said: StupidBruh said: grow up kid,all this shit happens in real lifeMan bruh u got to be kidding me. Is this hentai or something. I mean wtf (as a joke) Don't tell him that is happening in every second / minute around the world ^_^ It could make him insecure. |
| I have a feeling the man that fucked Sayu in the beginning of the episode is the same with Yoshida's brown haired co-worker shown in the scenes after that. Yoshida's co-worker Mishima made advances on him, and Gotou-san looks like having a thing for Yoshida too, but won't admit it. And finally, Yoshida and Sayu came to an understanding. Nice episode. |
 |
| Ah, shit, they animated the sex scene with all the thrust. Now this I can fap to. |
