OMG, this was certainly a crazy episode! and this would help to further explain why Yuki is the way that she is, considering how prim and proper she has to act at home. It kind of reminds me of another Yuki, Yuki Asuna from SAO, during the mothers Rosario arc.

And that hypnosis scene was really something else! I mean a lot of us talk and joke about doing stuff like that, but to see it in action, like that was really like, he-llo!

And yes, as some of you said, lots of good fan service this episode!

Sayaka is really one of the characters who used anime logic in the previous episode, but I'm glad she slapped Nonoa in the face in this episode, Nonoa should love herself more.

they really will do anything to give fan service lol, what I watched was crazy but let the author cook, this show without Yuki really won't be interesting and just be boring.

ah yes one of Hatsune Miku iconic songs "World is Mine" yeah didn't expect it to be covered into ED but an absolutely welcomed one.

Average episode.
Masachika and Yuki's grandfather is the main problem to be sure.

Also the ED was interesting.It almost portrays Alya as a villain , lol.

Yuki's life in her house seems so gloomy, completely understandable that she visits her brother's place so often.
Was not too fond of the hypnotized part, didn't seem very realistic.

Alya was so incredibly adorable through the entire episode, the mc's heart totally skipped a beat a couple of times there!
Ayano is growing on me, her character is so much fun.
Last but not least, I loved seeing so many people hiding under desks, it made me laugh so much!

Overall, a very good and funny episode, one of the best so far I would say.

The bait and switch is now officially complete. While this has already previously been foreshadowed, getting the confirmation from the grandfather that the MC is some sort of unparalleled genius that is simply choosing to be a lazy unmotivated otaku with mediocre grades puts the final nail in the coffin. I don't care if he is doing it to "protect" the station of his sister, as I'm sure that's going to be the justification. That's an incredibly weak excuse to give up altogether on trying to succeed at basically anything, especially given his decision to randomly start caring again because Alya is involved.

This makes the MC both a Gary Stu AND a self insert vessel for the readers. It's like the romcom version of a generic power fantasy like Solo Leveling. I've heard there is some big event from LN readers that will take place by the end of the season so I will stick around until then, but unless there is some radical departure from the formula thus far I'm probably going to drop the series once the season is complete. Outside of the unrealistically executed hook with Alya speaking Russian there has been nothing unique or interesting enough about the plot or characters to make me want to invest further time into it. Everything in it has been done significantly better before in other good series within the same genre. Nothing in it is truly bad mind you, just your average recycling of several common romcom tropes and cliches.

The episode itself was mostly fine, except the hypnosis thing was very unrealistically executed. Practically hentai level believability. I've seen a hypnotist perform before. It usually takes quite a while to hypnotize someone and they need to be open to it too. They also cannot understand complex commands, it has to be simple when in a hypnotized state.

Wow, this episode went off on a spiral after that serious start with Grandfather. Got to give it to Suou-san to start the comics back gain with that hug and whatnot. Surprised to see her mother calling her with a -san, wasn’t expecting that.

Secret meeting gone wrong on two occasions with a duo in the background, that’s either mad luck or the exact opposite xD. And then that hypnosis in the end, of the success rate is insane! Is it something that only works on Russians in this show or what, lmao?

Finally some solid Russian-go, missed it for a bit. Nonoa-san looking to take the brunt of the force, yeah, kind of saw it coming given her personality. It’ll be interesting to see how Taniyama-san reacts to it.

It was neither white nor pink in the LN, so why did you?

Another Yuki moment: motorboarding Aynano, WTF? That girl.
Nonoa is another interesting character, this show is loaded with them.
Masha being the sweetest again, when she shows up it is tea time.
I really think the hypnosis scene would have been been better with the innermost secrets rather than the unihibited bit.

This episode adapted the first two chapters as well as the prologue of V3.


This episode again reminded of just how adorably cuteAlya can be. I was smiling throughout the episode.


We finally got to see the Suou household animated. Yuki's mother and grandfather finally made their debut appearance. The prologue was done right.
The hypnosis scene was finally animated. And, if you thought the fanservice shown during that scene was crazy, it's just the tip of the iceberg when compared to the LN.
The anime skipped some dialogues and interactions in this scene, but it was overall resplendent.


For some reason, while I was reading this chapter, in my imagination, all of this happened amidst darkness in the student council room - as the moonlight shone on them.


10/10.

yeah, it's often surprising how anime writers shorten the manga when adapting it into anime.
still, even so, this is a really cool episode, I haven't seen any anime with a hypnosis scene like this one. 👀👀👀
I expected something overly depraved....
I really hope it doesn't get to the point where Yuki uses this story to her advantage in the race for the position of head of the student council... it's true? 🥺

SOOO GLAD IT WASN'T AS CRAZY AS IT WAS IN THE LN

I don't know what other LN readers think but personally Gensei doesn't seem as strict as he is in the LN. I guess it would seem a bit out of place with the whole colorful animes to have him exactly like I imagined. Yumi really did feel like that muppet who couldn't think or chose for herself for her whole life and children so her character in the anime is really well depicted.

And Nonoa. Absolutely cold and frightening as I wished to see her in the anime. I'm praying for a second season every morning only to see her doing the thing.

One last word for the ICHIBAN NO HIMESAMA !

About Nonoa

I have to say and admit as a novel reader

I've read volume 8 and preordered volume 9

I tried to understand Roshidere in depth

And I have to say about Nonoa

That in all sincerity

To say it frankly

We don't know why she is like that.

But she is my 3rd best girl

Rofl Yuki-chan rubbing her face in Ayano's tits. Good way to start an episode

That is kind of Alya being considerate of Taniyama. Ohoho Alya seemed like she was trying to make a move on Masachiko, too bad they werent alone.

oh damn that would be actually a scary yet exciting moment two girls stripping and youre in some room where someone can walk in any time feel you have to guard them and the issue they could just wake up from the daze and blame you over thembeing undressed and not knowing why...so many bad ways that could have gone... though fun to watch from safety over here :p

Damn Yuki is such a degenerate.... and she's awesome for it lol. Anytime Yuki is onscreen it's practically guaranteed that hijinks will ensue which made this episode even better. Oh and Ayano is definitely a masochist which I guess goes hand in hand with Yuki's degenerate behavior.

On a more serious matter, Yuki is being pressured by her grandfather to not lose to Masachika but she's taking it pretty good. I'm thinking she probably doesn't really care whether she beats Masachika so as long as her relationship with him remains solid.

Pretty decent episode this week. I'm glad they wrapped up the whole rivalry thing pretty quickly, I honestly never found the student council melodrama aspect of this series to be particularly enjoyable. I read the manga before the show came out, so I'm now in solidly new territory. I'm glad that the main relationship seems to be progressing well, with Alya seeming to be on the verge of confessing before getting cockblocked. Yuki still continues to steal the show as the funniest character by far, and while the fanservice is fun, the hypnosis thing was way out of left field. That felt more like something out of a surreal 4koma like Azumanga Daioh than a scene from a reasonably realistic show like this. I hope they stick to more reasonable fanservice premises in the future.

I'm just super surprised that Nonoa is voiced by the same VA who voiced Bocchi. Nonoa & Bocchi are absolute opposites in their personalities but they share the same voice. Like, wow! And here I could easily mistake Nonoa's voice as Hayasaka's voice (from Love is War) but it's not Yumiri Hanamori voicing Nonoa at all. Gosh, I'm so impressed with Yoshino Aoyama's performance that her voice acting is really growing on me.

I just love the unhinged shenanigans with the hypnosis caused by the siblings, hahaha! Never expected the hypnosis to go that far. Towards Alya-san & Masha-san, it was truly super effective, lol!
