My man Jiro is smooth af π |
| an akari centered episode with lots more teasing!!! here's to hoping for a proper confession next week. or at least some honesty between akari and jiro |
My 2023 candies:      |
| Hmmmm,so far I'm really enjoying this adaption,both OP and ED are really good(esp ED,but as for why? - well,you'll see in a mo),but I've not really found any of the characters as outstandingly cute,except for the one sequence at the start of the ED animation where "Akari" is looking up and then just smiles-it makes me shiver. That is,until this episode,when Akari and Jiro are hiding,she looks up at him and her expression at that one moment surpasses all the facial expressions I have seen in this series so far. - (Ok people,enough sniggering,I said facial expressions,not facials) Though I find the characters in this fairly likeable,that one scene put Akari above anyone else by a mile!!! Btw,I'm not just saying that the animation of the OP/ED are good,I meant the music as well,esp the ED track.Got it on repeat in my car ;) |

| The beach goodness continues, definitely enjoyed the Shiori fanservice in the beginning, those were some cultured camera angles and we got another string of Shiori lines that sound really sexual out of context with the sand castle bit lol. And the bit where Jiro protected Akari from those dude bros was excellent, the fact he thought saying Akari was his wife was a better alternative than his girlfriend is hilarious lol. We also got some nice bath fanservice with all the girls together, and I believe this is also one of or the first time Akari and Shiori have interacted with each other, that was interesting to see, it’d be nice to see them become friends but I feel like that might play into some drama lol. And wowzers, that was an insane Akari bit at the end of the episode, showing Jiro the swimsuit she said was just for him on the beach and then getting up front with him about the way he’s been treating her on the trip was great, and then thanks to Shiori and Mei showing up we got that amazing scene where Akari and Jiro are cramped together and we got another erection moment in a romance anime this year lol, that was definitely a great climax to that overall fantastic sequence. Of course I’m still team Shiori but I cannot deny the Akari greatness lol. |
| Gah, I want MORE! I usually roll my eyes at fan service but the spicy section with Akari and Jiro felt authentic LOL Because I know for a fact my body would have reacted the same way lol either way, I could watch them awkwardly traverse this relationship all day. |
The World Suffused with Sound.  |
| I was raging at first with the episode starting with a Shiori scene, but good thing there wasn't too much of her this time! I'm so tired of this stupid, overdone joke, though. They already used it last episode. Also, I agree with those saying the animation quality declined a little in this episode. I noticed it, too. There were parts like this where the faces looked wack. |
| best episode till now. gotta praise this for showing those moments. migoto! of course shiori didn't mean the hotel. the cliffhanger of last episode was lame lol. shiroi's double meaning dialogue continued in this episode too haha. these dudes who first force themselves on these women, act rude etc. and then suddenly act all nice and apologetic when they find out that the girl is with someone always catches me off-guard. akari is still in slight denial. she'll overcome it though i know it but first she needs to come out clean with her friends. that seems like a tough job. "that's not my knee" πππ man's got some balls. only 2 episodes left :/ hope this gets a season 2. this has been a great romcom and just needs some more exposure. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I hate this show beyond belief but I simply cannot stop watching |
| Oh this felt like a drama build-up, like are they finally confessing? |
| Nearly forgot about this. This show really uses every opportunity it gets to throw in fanservice, doesn't it. Even scenes like building a sandcastle that should be innocent aren't left alone. And WTF was that last scene? |
| im pretty sure with mmy decision Akari X Jirou is the best ship !!! |
| Can't believe there's only two episodes left of the season. The build up of this episode had me over the moon and was happy to see it executed so well. Hoping they'll end closer to chapter 29 but get the feeling they'll probably end on 26. I really love the love dynamics and art of this show. |

| Tsunderes really are annoying to watch, first they do it then they deny and if the other side says something then they get mad at them, Akari is a not only a slut but a bitch too. |
| Just kiss her Jirou. Damn mc is always shy. |
 |
| He is so unaware what's happening, also it feels like there isn't much develop in the last few episodes. |

SomeNewGuy said: Art and animation literally fell off a cliff with this episode, last time i saw something this bad was with S2 of COTE. I hope this is just a one time thing. episode 9 too, im really annoyed by this coz somehow this show had really good and consisntent art and animations till ep 8 and it's a pity seeing it falling so low. also i don't like the amount of fanservice they re putting each episode, its increasing exponentially, i liked it more when there was only some scenes and not literally the entire episode |

Softhenic03 said: You're telling me he still doesn't get Akari has a THING for him? Typical anime-ish overthinking, sigh. The worst part is...she doesn't even realize she has a thing for him LMAO |

| Akari finally used the special "for-Jirou-only-swimsuit" woooww~ that was hot~ And the oppai in this episode was so strong and lots of JIGGLING!. Also really like to see Akari being all adorable, obedient and jealous, her serious dead glares at Jirou were really funny. She just really wants Jirou to man up sometimes, and to notice and focus on her more and more. |
 |
| "That's not my knee", best line! This show has gotten straight up good as the season has progressed. Way better than when it started. Jiro needs to stop the apologizing, it's a turn off. |
 |
| Both are a bit dense and stupid, but they are kids, and I've seen worse. I also saw a lot of people wondering why they didn't just do the deed right then and there, but if they did go all the way, I feel like that would have ruined their relationship. Additionally, not everyone thinks with their dicks |
 |
| Feels like the author REALLY wanted to make them bang but someone or something stopped him so he resorted to putting sex puns here and there. |
 |
| Akari laid it out that she wants to know more about Jiro - lovely! Learn well, boys - that's a strong sign a woman is interested in you genuinely. |
| So Jiro is the first guy to ever touch his "not-knee" against "her" and then collapses on top of Akari, pressing his "not-knee" even harder against "her". Talk about lucky-unlucky. |
 |
| Nice Jiro and Akari focused episode, their conversation in the second half felt short but you can feel their emotion especially Akari feeling jealous and being a tsundere for a moment there. |
 |
| lol at that cringe position! did Jirou popped a boner in that situation?!? you're a HOMO if not! LOLZ 4/5. |
 |
| That was a good heatstroke, really displayed all the symptoms, profuse sweating, heavy breathing, a hard "knee" and loss of consciousness. |
| Man... so much BOOBA in this episode but I ain't complaining. LOL. Also, Akari or Jirou, at least one of them should confess by now. |
 |
| Probably the best episode yet (although Akari being scared of the dark of episode 2 is possibly still my favourite part). You’ve got to love how Akari can complain about being paired up with Jirou to get the food and then complain to him that he’s not paying enough attention to her! Tsunderes are always the best. |
| So it was a heatstroke XD |
