Serious underhanded low blow for Rukia in the end there. I forgot how annoying this show can get sometimes, lol...

How much longer is this fake trial will be going on for? Any resemblance of interesting turns with this plot device is long gone now. And of course get it with the darn confession already xD. I already know the chances of it this season are slim given the rate of things in this series but let's see - one can only hope.

I definitely prefer Ruka to Chizuru, but that lie was out of place.

lowkey was typing out a post but half way through I realized I was trying to apply real world logic to this show, but honestly all the girls in this are a bit toxic (don’t get me wrong Kazuya is also a piece of shit) but they need to just bring back Sumi and Mini

Lol they're forced to do a trip gifted by Kazuya's grandmother now... but that ending was ridiculous as expected from this show, Ruka throwing a fake used condom packaging to Chizuru is one of the most ridiculous thing I've seen in a romcom lmao

Damn, it was great to see Ruka on offensive. She is still the best girl. How I wish she actually had a chance to win... But that last parts was a bit too much imo.
Mami seems less and less relevant. At this point this whole secret seems so childish (actually, it always was lol) that just revealing it would be easy fix to any danger she might pose.
As much as I'm enjoying this mayhem, I'm starting to feel impatient.

Mami the snake rears her head again.. guess they do need to stir the pot some more. All for the sake of extending the season along 🫡 the devil has to work. Sad that it's coming to this now.

Ok Ruka let the phone ring 😆 needy some. But hey, in this messy love affair worrying is the norm. The Ruka thigh shot 👀

Sadly the Ruka talk is three seasons and four episodes too late 😔

Uh, Ruka.. um.. this kind of scenario is a little..

And if she had lipstick to smear all over his mouth 💀 Actually tho, how did we flip the scenario from them making out to basically a triple date. We're going below the belt with these developments now. (Ruka is still best girl tho, just.. really not aiming at the right guy for the job.)

Mami interrogating Mizuhara only brings bad vibes, and worse still, with the crowdfunded movie bringing her more fame, things like this are bound to happen. With Mizuhara's many profiles, dealing with Mami requires extra scrutiny given her unpredictability and her incredibly poker face personality, but it seems that she's trying to get to her side innocently as she comes, and the lethal part subtly sneaking in, hidden. Not to mention, Ruka is just being pushy at this point towards Kazuya, and she won't leave his space no matter what.

To Mizuhara, conflict is but a sure-fire time in fated time to afflict, but worse still is Kazuya being interrogated by Ruka about everything that happened thus far, and where to draw the line between family and professional work. No matter how Kazuya tries to chase Ruka away, she's just not taking no for an answer, until Mizuhara and Granny Nagomi turned up to showcase the Kinoshita family tradition, though in actual fact, is to secure their relationship that's a ticking time-bomb if it does occupy others like Ruka. In fact, it's aligning all too well that Mizuhara took the plunge despite her conflicting feelings for Kazuya, and that's adding the fakery of Ruka just throwing a used condom wrapper towards her to confess her standing for Kazuya.

Ruka is just doggone far and away more manipulative than Mami at this point...

Chizuru's grandma is dead now, so what's the point of her keeping a fake relationship with Kazuya now, other than that maybe they become better friends along the way? She can't even come to terms with her own feelings, so does she really care about Kazuya and his grandma that much to keep up this fake girlfriend act for them? Speak the truth that they were never dating, or just start dating for real. In either case, Mami will have nothing but empty threats, and Ruka will no longer have anything to blackmail Kazuya with, and he will be able to break up with her, probably.

I forgot why exactly, but the only reason I could think of or remember as to why Chizuru is keeping up the fake girlfriend act as a favour for Kazuya fooling his grandma is to thank him for helping her with her movie. But like, he got paid, right?? That seems like a bit too big a tip to add on top. Does she genuinely want to keep Kazuya's grandma happy? Let's be real though, this fake sh*t is doing no one any favours. Just come clean. Kazuya's grandma seems strong enough to handle the reveal that they've been lying to her all this time. So while we can clown on Kazuya all we want, and believe me, none of that clowning is gonna stop, at least the dude is TRYING to do something about this whole ordeal. He doesn't want to keep lying to his grandma forever. Chizuru, on the other hand? Can't realize her feelings, if they are real, for Kazuya, but can't 'break up' with him either for some dumb reason, and is doing absolute jack other than keeping the status quo and allowing this series to milk itself dry and beyond.

Nothing wrong with Mami. All she's doing is trying to add fuel to a non-existent fire, to try and push a cart that hasn't budged in decades. We need more of her. Gotta send these goofballs over the edge.

And the same goes for Ruka. She just really loves Kazuya, I think. Maybe she wants to get back at Chizuru for something and is just using Kazuya as revenge, but I don't know and don't care at all to try and remember. All I know is that her feelings for Kazuya are indeed genuine because he got her heart rate up one time. Sure she's kind of playing dirty when fighting Chizuru. But she is the one character in this mess that is being true to herself and to others and in this scenario I just can't fault that. Ok maybe not entirely true because she did just straight up lie to Chizuru here at the end of this episode, but I'm giving Ruka a pass for that and just putting it on Chizuru for possibly thinking that an opened condom wrapper counts as solid proof.

A dumpster fire is not toxic enough to describe this sh*t, it's a a freaking septic tank and always was; except now I think I'm hating on Chizuru more than Kazuya atp. Like let him confess to you, at least get something started. She doesn't have to say yes; she can say no, just say SOMETHING DAMMIT. Ok but why am I watching this. I feel like poking a rock with a stick saying "do something interesting" but the rock does nothing interesting and instead just proceeds to fuck my ass

Yo also where has Mini been at? She was introduced as the one voice of reason in this whole cursed series, and was taken away because, who knows? Because she would wake everybody tf up, end everything and keep the 'story' from prolonging any further? Sigh. And if she does come back sometime this season, she'll probably turn into a nothing side-character like Sumi has become and have nothing significant to say or contribute.

I know I'm so late to this episode but oh my gods! I get that Ruka wants a relationship with Kazuya because she makes her feel something but is it really worth it? I know she's really young but she has so much time to find someone else to make her heart race.
I know this is a plot thing but her way of thinking really pisses me off. Why are you trying to get a guy to like you that clearly doesn't!?

I can't remember the last time I was so pissed at one of these episodes. This one really took the cake.
I hate Mami's face and I hate Ruka's face even more.
Both of those girls need to move on...it's not that deep.

They're both incredibly toxic.

The only reason I watch this anime at all is for Chizuru and the occasional glimpse of the true best girl: Sumi.
