Himari's character is so unbelievably obvious its boring and extremely annoying. She's your boring character who hides her feelings through a over the top hyperactive personality. Ennochi is a far better character to be by Yuu's side.

Himari's entire character is essentially a spoiled brat. Someone like Hina from blue box is a similar comparison but she was far better because she was tolerable.

Himari is unironically one of the most annoying anime characters I've ever seen

"Want some Cookies?"
"You tricked me!"

"Is she thin crispy dough with cheese stuffed crust?"
I have no idea how this applies to this context.

" but I doubt I meant anything to her."
Okay, we have passed nuclear pasta density here and are headed to quark matter density. Antone could tell that Rion is crushing on you.

Man, that class room metal stool was sure mangled.

"What the hell does she want from me?"
As if Himari knows herself. She keeps flipping from one objective to another and constantly sabotaging herself, and confusing the hell out Yuu. With some of Himari's sh1t, Yuu might be lucky that he is so oblivious.

And then Shinji spins Himari up, and they spar for an objective with Yuu being completely dense and oblivious, the fuse is lit, and Boom.

Himari was such a gas is EP1, but now she has maneuvered herself into a toxic meltdown. She tries to push Yuu in opposite directions, reversing course course repeatedly and winds up forfeiting both of competing objectives. Next she will be invading Russia during winter.

Well... when someone acts the way Himari does with her 'teasing,' they don’t strike me as a reliable person. Let’s be honest—she did ridicule the kiss (twice!), even though Yuu took it seriously (also twice—how could he be so naive after the first time?). And then she still had the nerve to complain about him not taking advantage of the opportunity. Of course, after being called a 'wimp' and a 'coward,' he’s not going to get the hint. But his friend does. And that friend only fuels the emotional tension, leading later to an explosion.

Honestly? Right now, I don’t like Himari. If after all these years of friendship, someone still doesn’t understand what matters to you—what you can joke about and what you can’t—then they haven’t been a very good friend. Or maybe Himari expects Yuu to be some 'bad boy' who’d just take the kiss, regardless of whether it was a joke? That doesn’t seem like Yuu’s character at all. If anything, he comes across as a lost child in the fog. Everyone walks all over him, and he just takes it like a docile lamb. At the dinner table, both of his so-called 'friends' bluntly told him to shut up, and he... actually did. No pushback. It’s like he’s used to being ordered around.

And what’s up with that 'deal' with his sister? If he proves he can’t run his own shop, he gets... rewarded by taking over another one? How does that make sense? Why would he agree to something so ridiculous?

To sum up: Himari jokes about Yuu’s feelings but gets mad when he doesn’t express them. Yuu is clueless, but hey—girls are fun, right? So when he’s with Rion, he blushes over Rion, and when he’s with Himari, he blushes over Himari.

I’m still interested in continuing, but given the series’ title—Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive?—I’m worried it’ll just end with Himari and Yuu staying friends, as if that’s the big selling point.

Yeah, okay Himari is officially annoying. I wanted to defend her at the start but nah, I can't with her anymore.

She get's mad after hooking these two up, tries to play dude and then plays it off as "a joke" then proceeds to... pour milk on him and want to end the friendship... ???

Oh yeah, and this episode was so broken lmao. Expect delays to come soon, because yikes this episode looked really bad visually.

Lmao thought I was the only one who thought character designs and backgrounds looked off. Hopefully things get back on track

Himari snapped lol, I was not expecting a reaction like that from such a flippant character.
Let me get this straight, she bff zones bro, she wingwomans bro to her friend, she then proceeds to flirt (tease) bro and when things escalated to bro actually leaning into the girl she was helping hook up with Yuu, starts to flip out, yeap, she’s our most unstable gremlin this season. The chaos she brings, best character in the series among the boring cast.

Also, the animators need help, we’re still only at ep3 and holy fck 90% looked stiff and wonky. We may get a delay along the road

Yu is ready to fold under no pressure and bang any of them at a moment's notice, bro may end up losing them both, Enomoto seems like she doesn't even care about all Himari's outings and keeps trying to win Yu over, the guy friend just wants to expose Himari's love, and Himari herself is in absolute shambles after Yu fancied Enomoto as the new model. it's a genuine disasterpiece of a friends group lol

Bruh, if u love a person Why would you introduce someone who you know that person might fall in love with and as if it wasn't an idiotic enough attitude, you still provoke the girl you introduced and then get angry that your friend accepted her... I'm almost giving up on this.

Himari is too jealous. She already knows that she’s Yuu’s best friend, but she would have liked to be even Yuu’s girlfriend. There is clearly known that a sparkle between Yuu and Enocchi appeared.

Men, walk away from a woman like Himari after the first time they do that kind of bait-and-switch with your emotions. While slightly amusing in a story, in real life a woman who behaves like that is emotionally abusing you for her own amusement.

It is a little bit annoying that Yuu is a bigger dolt than usual for a romance protag, but I appreciate how quickly things seem to be coming to a head here. I don't see how this level of tension accelerating this quickly could be dragged out for an entire season a la Blue Box, so we must be headed for some interesting changes in circumstances (even if it does take 12 episodes to resolve the triangle).

Why is Himari so unbalanced? I understand that she is a teenager in love and they often lose their tempers, but in the anime it was shown very exaggeratedly in my opinion.

Manga reader here! Just wanna ask how'd y'all like this episode? Himari was annoying af, right? Good. If you have hope for things to get better, then don't even bother. Himari gets more annoying and unbearable, Yuu gets more indecisive and Rion is just...there.
Most of you will draw the line soon cause of what Himari will do.
I can't drop the manga because this is something I've been reading since 2023 and I've invested too much time already, lmao. ๐Ÿ’”

This is going at a tricky phase already: it's very good right now, but pacing will be very important considering we already know how each character feels. Some really bold choices, which is showcases brave writing but also puts the plot as whole in a precarious position. Still I like how they're jumping straight into it, rather than slow build up which most other similar shows have. The only issue is that by going at things in this manner, each arc will matter very much and will definitely change the way this show feels as whole. Until now, I think the show is good.

Animation took a hit this episode but whatever.

Himari is trash. You cant have your cake and it eat too girl. Sorry the end of this episode solidified for me that she's garbage. Enomoto is far superior.

Himari is emotionally immature and needs to learn through some losses, however I would've liked that the ending would've taken a more serious tone than caricaturizing a break up between friends.

Shinji Makishima may look like a douchebag but he actually want the best for his friend and put a stop to himari's childish shenanigans. This dude is truly a bro, reminds me of Takeya from White Album 2.

I honestly... don't blame Himari at all
She's confused. She wants Yuu to be happy, but she also likes him... Think about it, there was never no one between Himari and Yuu. They were going to marry at their 30s, and then his first love appeared again all of sudden...
Now, she went and "ended their friendship". That means she's no longer being held back by the friendship, and she can now try her luck with her true feelings about him.
That's what I think

Come to think of it, Himari already established her ground at the middle of the episode yet Mikishima had to butt in tryna take away her role in Yuu's business. In businesses POV, yeah you're gonna be mad too if you get demoted. Man she's already on the edge of confusion yet another one had to join to blow up their friendship.

Probably the first romance anime where I don't mind anyone to win the affection of the mc, or more like I hope someone else wins instead of those two. Although if they give more emotional impact on a great backstory for the blue haired girl, I might start rooting for her.

I'm probably dropping this because that was probably, the most painful few minutes of my life. Everyone except enomoto got on my nerves so bad in the last scene. Himari not being able to read the room, is the one who pushed him closer to enomoto yet has the audacity to act all bitchy when their relationship actually start working out, just straight up annoying. Yuu being as dense as a brick, not being able to read the room either making things worse. And last but not least, THE BLONDE DUDE WHATEVER HIS NAME IS, is probably the worst one of all. It's clear he has grudges against himari, and he knows that she likes him, so he decides to fuck it, let's be an asshole and rile shit up. Like what is his problem man??? So yeah I'm probably dropping this and watching another show so eh.

Gotta be honest, whilst I like the concept of the anime, Himari is pretty annoying. There's teasing and then there's what she does which I personally wouldn't tolerate if I was in the MCs position. Although it was kinda nice to see her crack at the end of the episode haha

Her reaction is pretty understandable, even if what she did wasn’t right. The MC basically exposed her in front of everyone and said she was a bother to him right there. I know many won’t like it, since heroines in anime are always expected to be either cute or cheerful. But honestly, sometimes it’s nice to have characters who make mistakes and aren’t perfect.
And he even ignored their promise that she would be his model, treating it as if it didn’t matter at all.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Okay, i loved the episode. Himari is as energetic as always, and Rion is as cute as always. I love that Himari is always honest & bold both with herself & others in regards to how she feels, like, take that pre-ending scene, for example, you don't wanna talk to him ever again, Himari?

You sure as hell are gonna wake up tomorrow and regret it to the moon, because you love him, you shouldn't have let your emotions control you, it must be the other way around, you could've played it cool, while still trying to win him over using your own tactics, you know?

That's just what i think, really. Nonetheless, i still do understand how hard it is to sometimes keep your emotions in check, so i relate to you, Himari. Himari aside, now that Rion is Yuu's main model, since they apparently agreed 3 to 1, with the one disagreeing being Himari, i'm excited as to see what Yuu & Rion are doing moving forward, and what Himari is actually gonna do after those regretting words she shouted upon Yuu, can't wait for the upcoming episode!

Himari's feelings are pretty clear and her thought process has been explained.
Her jealousy is off the charts, but what I like is that she's taking action, even though this is clumsy and certainly too subtle for Yuu who imagine this is yet another joke.
It's not that Yuu isn't interested, in fact it looks like he largely prefers Himari to Rion, but their friendship, Himari's jokster personality, his self-doubts... are all getting in the way, and he ends up hurting her.
But at least, now that she wants to 'end' their friendship, they'll have to be a bit more honest with each other, hopefully.
@MeguSae38 That was very well explained.
It's sad that many people don't understand Himari.
