Yknow, as much as I dislike mami, i cant deny the fact that girls like these exist. Hell, even i got caught up with one. So its pretty realistic how mami acts, since ive seen these types.


Yep; absolutely true. It's a power/control thing. The whole concept of the friendzone is a "lite" version of what Mami's doing.

The plot is just SO dry, so so so dry. It's hurting my brain, if not for Chizuru and boobies I would've dropped this anime long ago, I never dropped an anime before and this would've been the first one. I just hate it, every time Trashzuya-kun speaks I just want to punch his face. Not because he is a simp, not because he is the most pathetic virgin ever, not because his face is stupid, but because how idiotic his choices are.

"Mami-chan is showing my her boobs, let me tell her about Chizuru and how she's a rental girlfriend and then fucking up my social life by exposing what a sad and pathetic simp I am"

You thought the MC from School Days was the worst? HAH! You are clearly in the wrong. Just a little, just a little development is all I asked from the MC, every episode he just keeps pissing me off. He can't stand up for his rental gf, how can he stand up for his real gf? Can he stand up at all? Impotent fuck. I hate him, I just honestly hate him.

This anime is the definition of how ONE character can ruin the whole fuckin anime.

The entire time I'm watching this I feel nothing but hatred for Kazuya and Mami. Why am I even doing this to myself.

I ask myself the same thing. Well I have a proper reason, I live by the "No drop" rule. I don't drop animes, I finish what I start. But this one is really hard, each episode just keeps getting worse and worser.

You know Mizuhara ought to be slapping Kazuya in the face for being a total dick wand, oh yeah he is a dick wand.....and a stupid one as well......

Oh the beach scene arrived early, nice to see Mami and Mizuhara's bikini...


Does anybody have any idea as who is this Numa that Mami is texting?????

Episode was ok, but I wasn't impressed by the ED visuals (it looked like the beginning was basically depicting Kazuya jerking off, which I didn't particularly want to see).

That aside, it looks like next episode we'll see the scene where
so I'm excited to see how that goes :)

Teenager or not, it doesn't even matter. He just sucks badly. Being a teenager isn't an excuse for autism. This dude almost revealed his raging virgin instincts to Mami-chan. Why you ask? Because she showed her boobs, that's all. He is probably the worst MC I've ever seen, his existence makes me sad.

He's either 18 or 19 since he's in his first year of university. So technically, he is a teenager, but he's acting about 4 or 5 years too young for his age.

Poor Kazuya-san. He never was noticed, never had moment to shine, now that he is getting some attention (even for the weird reasons) it can't be helped that he is unable to handle this situation any better.

Still, he is kinda trash. He is such a virgin that his impulses and needs gets over his reasoning and logic. Hope he survives.

I'm sorry. I know I'm watching a work of fiction and that II have to allow my imagination to fly, but I cannot find a way to envision that a woman as beautiful and generous as Chizuru could ever develop anything but feelings of pity or contempt for a sad sack of bird excrement like Kazuya. heck, I dislike Mami like any sane person would do, but I cannot understand why she even she would date a meh looking fool like him

Kazuya needs someone to tell him that Mami is straight up manipulating him ASAP.

Ichinose needs a raise after having to deal with lie after lie from Kazuya.

Beach Episode is mandatory. Not necesary but mandatory, although I didn´t expect it to be so early in the series.

Waiting to see what happens whit that kiss between Mami and Kazuya.

I really frickin' hate Mami... what a two faced bitch! It's so frustrating that Kazuya can't see what she's doing because she isn't be very subtle! I feel sorry for Mizuhara in all this because she's just a really kind girl who keeps helping Kazuya out of potentially pitiful and embarrassing situations but he takes advantage of it every single time.

The main issue currently in this anime isn't Chizuru or Mami but definitely this meh MC... I mean, if at least he had 13 yo I could understand a part of this stupidity..
I understand he's still in love with his Ex-Girlfriend and we can't control our feeling however what's the point with all those lies and useless reactions. This is what bother me the most.

If there's anything clear from this episode, it's that Chizuru is far too good for Kazuya.

Chizuru is gorgeous in her swimsuit, she's probably going to be one of the main reasons I watch this.

I'm sorry but Kazuya is the biggest bitch on the planet if not in all of harem slice of life anime. Like honestly, he is the perfect simp god for all other simps.

Then we got this ol thot ass, yandere ass Mami Chan coming in with that fake ass persoinality!

Ok so are we cancelling Mami-san yet? She's a rental girlfriend but bruh, this MC, BRUH. smh....

Also, loved the ED. Kanojo and ENS both did some retro ED's this season and I love them.

With that being said, I thought Peter Grill was a simp but at least he can handle the situation. Said it best this episode, "Virgin's gonna virgin".

Still a 9/10 anime because of Mizuhara being best girl in every way possible.

Yessir, ofcourse Chizuru is at the same beach. Ofcourse Chizuru needs to show up as Mizuhara. Ofcourse Kazuya still thinks he is going to achieve something with Mami-chan. Ofcourse Mami-chan is toxic.

I need to have the same nerves of steel as Chizuru. Both the OP and ED are great.

Lot of kazuya hate in the discussion as expected, but there were points in the episode where he acknowledges that his actions are scummy and wants to make a change, but he can't translate them into actual actions, which bring along all the lies and uncomfortable actions. If the creators behind the story know what they are doing, that area of his mindset will be a subject of growth, which will feel like a bigger pay off if the MC starts off at a really low point in comparison.

Also, is no one gonna talk about how the new ED's just a big metaphor of masturbating lol

I really hate Mami-chan, and I feel super bad for Kazu-kun., mostly because I relate to that situation so much. Kazu-kun can be such a dork sometimes but I actually like his character, and I don’t think Chizuhara would go to such lengths if he didn’t really like Kazuya even a little bit. Yeah she could be trying to cover up her job, but there’s other ways she can do that honestly. She wouldn’t need Kazuya to tell everyone they broke up, she could break up with him herself, but her not doing that tells me that she atleast cares for him, and it pains me to know that Mami-Chan just stole that unwarranted kiss. I hate Mami-Chan so much, she’s not even that hot bleh

Mami has a god complex so her ego is hurt a lot by Kazuya getting another "girlfriend" so fast. She is a total psycho if you haven't noticed it yet xd.

Kasuya is an absolute beta, cringy, idiotic dumbass who can't keep it in his pants, in addition of wasting all of his family money he acts like he earned his rental girlfriend and learns nothing about his mistakes.

Mami is best girl because she is teaching this dumbass kid a lesson, she is just jealous and can at least use more than 2 brain cells in any situation.

Obviously a lie about trusting kazuya. Everything about him is just beta male written all over. It doesn't matter how this ends. We just all know kazuya is a beta and the girls are the only ones actually controlling the outcome. lolz

I can't, I just can't how can one be so goddamn horny and Mami is nothing compared to the goddess that is Chizuru, but I can sympathize with Kazuya because he gets nervous talking with the girl he likes, but like he needs to keep those horny levels down and make the right decision which is to not simp for his ex but to simp for Chizuru.

Yay, wet got a beach episode!

Chizuru is so tsun-tsun when it comes to Kazuya, now she is on the trip with him for free, good job Kazuya!

Mami-chan is shitposting on Twitter over Kazuya's relationship and trying to break them off.

Finally, Mami went for the kiss and on top of that Kazuya didn't resist it,
let's see how he will deal with Mami and Chizuru next week.

Yeah, I haven't read the manga either but I've heard similar things, so if that's true, then that really sucks because there's a lot of potential for some good character development. Maybe the mangaka is trying to prolong the series idk

Yeah, but he does mention how he wants to set things right by breaking up with chizuru and correcting the lies he told the people around him (not just in this episode, but was also a thing last episode if I remember correctly). Of course, no merit is given to these thoughts as not only does he not go through with it, but he somehow makes the situation worse with more lies and just being a sleaze in the process. Also, it doesn't help that the majority of his motive for breaking up with chizuru shown in this episode was so he could hook up with mami again, making his act of wanting to fix the situation seem misguided. Despite all of this, the first step of fixing a problem and becoming a better person is recognizing you have a problem, which we know the MC is aware of, so we can only hope he continues to follow the right path of fixing himself.
