| 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! Lmao honestly Chizuru is the only real MVP in this show at the moment |
| 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. |
 |
| 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 |

snowykevin said: This shit is getting harder and harder to watch by the episode, Kazu is legit so spineless and Mami is the definition of toxic and I don’t even understand her motives. She breaks up with him but she is getting mad when he gets a new girlfriend? this is just laughable. 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. |
| am i the only one here who hate the MC too much? i mean how stupid and hopeless can anyone be? |
 |
| Damn, people are getting so salty over this show. xD |

| Set SCE to AUX |
| 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 |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| This dude has reached Shinji levels of dis likability... |
| Pretty alright episode, nothing too note worthy really happened. I would totally roundhouse kick Kazuya if given the chance to lol. |
 |
| I wish Mami was the rental girlfriend. She'd definitely milk him dry and leave him dying on a street. |
 |
| 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. |
| I wonder how long it will take for this guy to realise dont want anything from him. I mean she was the one, who broke up lol |

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 Spaceship said: plz_nofindme said: 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. ^That's ONLY thing I give him ANY credit for: He admitted the fact that he was a total creep and loser twice in the episode. 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. |
| Yeah, even I that was a bit defensive of the MC in the first episode can't defend him now. The guy is just way too horny. But I feel like the author is what it makes it worse. He is the one that love putting those coincidental scenarios so the plot doesn't really progress and the characters don't develop much. This ending indicates something will actually change, but I'm not that hopeful |
 |
| I wasn't expecting a beach episode this early, but at least we got to see Mizuhara in a swimsuit. Mami continues to be toxic with Kazuya and doesn't realize this because he a long lost puppy trying to get her approval. It's obvious that Mami is tying to drive a wedge between Kazuya and she's being a straight savage at it. I use to hate the MC, but now I just get a kick out of him simping and failing in the process. So, I can point and laugh at his punk ass. |
 |
| Mami is the worst! Don't like her one bit. Her aura is so malicious it's scary ._. Can't wait for the day when someone discovers her true nature. Even so, nice episode! I am rooting for Chizuru to win over Kazuya's heart >.< It hurts seeing Kazuya falling again for his ex and soon getting heartbroken for a second time. Ouch! He seriously needs to wake up and forget Mami. He doen't deserve to be with that trash! |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| its hard for me to admit that mami is seriously hot, even though shes an actual manipulative cow personality-wise |
| alright,the protagonist is annoying,trash,pathetic and really naive. this is annoying. |
 |
| i've given up on Kazuya hes simply scum and there an't no hiding it it's good that he at least is aware of those shitty aspects of himself but i doubt this will be written in a way that shows him grow from being the lowest of the low so i just try and enjoy seeing him get shit for being awful . Mami right now is just a manipulative embodiment of jealousy but i don't get tired of seeing her darkness leak out(her poor friends having to take the blunt of it sometimes). so very conflicted on this show after seeing the mangaka's studio and his workforce and how nice they all seem but when i think of this work i'm like how yall make this?? lol it's like i'm a masochist for enjoying and hating this |
 |
| It was a nice episode. Can't wait to see the next one. Wonder if the scene where gets adapted there, or in the next one. |
 |
| I not sure about this show anymore. I liked the first episode but that it so far. I like Chizuru I get Mami is meant to be this toxic hate person But Kazuya is just the worst. He not just a awkward guy but a straight up scumbag of a person. I just Hate this character. Also the show fails at being funny I think its trying to do. |
| It's rough watching this man letting himself get played by Mami lol |

This is not a low point it his actions that a causing this issues in the first place. He just dragging Chizuru along like how Mami is trying to drag him along. It not him being awkward but him being scum. |
| Idk, this anime is good and bad at the same time. The scene where the group was at the table made it really hard for me to watch. Like, why does the MC go out of his way to come up with "lies" for simple questions that Chizuru could answer? She probably has experience with these types of situations, but yet again, the MC goes out of his way to say some B.S. Like, I sympathize with him to a certain degree, but dang, this guy is the type of virgin that all virgins should not strive for. Like, dude didn't even use incognito mode when searching for "How to get back together with ex". Anyways, Mami, she is toxic, but she cute af, ngl. I do wonder, what is her motive? Also, when are the other side characters gonna appear? What about the group of friends in today's episode? Definitely will stick around, but MC is making me lose my brain cells. |

| My boys, say it with me... "Mami-chan, From the streets, did she emerge, and to the streets, she will return. And I say unto you, she is for the streets. So be not weary, when she must return from whence she came.”(THOTLATIONS: The Lost book of Ghetto Philosophers 14:28). amen🙏 |
Chizuru and Mami are clearly opposite. Chizuru is so kind and intelligent, like an angel sent by the heaven. On the other hand, Mami is so selfish, mannipulator b!tch, rotten to the core. Mami is so disgusting. |
| Man, I love Chizuru so much wearing a swimsuit, she's just perfect. BEST GIRL OF THE SEASON I hope she ends up with Kazuya :D  |
 |
| Pain, that was mostly the thing i felt this episode. pain. I think i get wtf mami is trying to do, but holy shit does she have to be a class A certified bitch about it. Like blatantly bad mouthing a persons girlfriend calling them "cringey" and then the person themself, later acting innocent as if she wasn't the problem, like jesus christ have some self restraint with what you say, her self restraint is almost as bad as Kazuya when he hits the horny. Honestly if i could sum up Kazuya, i'd say he'd be the equivalent to a 2 piece jigsaw puzzle, a 2x2 rubik cube. People can play him so easily i swear, either that be for emotions or money. I guess one thing i can like him for is his ability to speak up at times, but that gets immediately taken back because i just think the dude is just to big for his shoes, that scene with him and Chizuru at the table, they were in a delicate situation already and he'd dug himself a deep hole beforehand, and now it just felt like he was attempting to drag her in as well. Sometimes i can physically feel Chizuru edge ever so closure to cutting his voice box out. i guess the only time i laughed, was when Chizuru suddenly came out of the toilet and surprised mami, get fucking gamered on mami know your place. |
 "yabe." |
| That's it, I cannot stand this idiot anymore, he's behaving like immature, insecure, and prejudiced 13 year old who seems is not going to change in the rest of the series (he's not even trying). I don't know what's going to happen but if he gets screwed by Mami or anybody, it's well deserved. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Of course, there's a beach episode. What else would you expect from a trash, fan service-inundated series. Jesus Christ, Kazuya is surrounded by highly manipulative people. His own grandma, his ex-girlfriend and even his classmates/friends are extremely manipulative. I have friends who have fallen victim to narcissists, both men and women. I honestly don't think he's ready for a girlfriend yet, yes he's 20 years old but there isn't an age when you should or shouldn't have someone. He needs to work on himself. He has so many insecurities that it's extremely painful to watch. His own family and friends are using those insecurities against him. His grandma making him get a girlfriend and his friends taking him to places where his ex-girlfriend is. I don't know if this guy is a victim or he's just a fucking loser who can't stand up for himself. I'm going with the latter but I think he's a victim too. I don't know if I should feel sorry for him or hate him. However, Kazuya is a pathological liar. He gets no pity from me. He got himself in this mess and hopefully burns but I doubt it. This is an anime after all. In real life, people like this are fucked up and can't tell the difference from reality and the fantasy they created in their own minds. |
| 臭い- |
| The Density of Kazuya is really starting to bug me now. Holy shit dude. Also fuck Mami I hate this bitch more and more each week now. It's only been 2! Chizuru is far superior...both Glasses and Non-Glasses version. Get this Garbage Mami out of here. |

| I am convinced that this anime will be the dumpster fire of the season at the rate this show seems to be progressing in. Oh well, at least we got to see Mizuhara tiddies. |
| I actually thing it's interesting and "fresh" for being a Harem Romantic Comedy. The problem is that sometimes the cringe is SOOOOO painful to watch, some situations and the extremely disgusting MC just ruin everything else. I just hope the 2 heroines left are good because for me the main heroine is just decent, but I also think the toxic/b*tch ex is a good antagonist character and develops her function in the story very well, being a hateful character that makes the MC develop indirectly. BUT, If she ends up with Kazuma or he doesn't grow up because of Mami's Toxic influence (because of the main heroine as well of course), Mami will be a useless and wasted antagonist. I have hopes that the shy girl will be a good waifu material, even if she seems to be the typical Hajidere character. |
| I Love Exactly This Kind of RomComs where MC is in very Embarrassing Situations. More Anime Like This Are Nisekoi, We Never Learn, Maid Sama etc. Well, 5/5 for this Episode!!! Mami-chan's an Attention Seeker!! Chizuru Caring a little Bit for Kazuya!! |
 |
| So a beach episode. Well judging from the PVs, I expected that the anime will have a bit of fanservice but goddamn thats a whole lot of tittes and panty zoom shots. (btw I'm not complaining or anything) Not gonna lie Mami-chan is really cute. damn look at that smile.  I like the artstyle this anime is going for. Even though it's not that special, It really gives justice to 4 main girls of the show. I don't know why but I really can't give any pity to Kazuya even though Mami-chan is just deceiving him. Mizuhara is just too kind to him even if she's just a Rental girlfriend. Well this series definitely became my guilty pleasure this season and I think I'm gonna stick to it.(most especially because of the girls) Curious to see what other personalities the 2 heroines left have in store for us in the future episodes. |
