Ha, funny car ride. I thought they almost crashed

Better episode than the previous imo with a more casual tone and comedy. Not to mention, Haru's older sister showed up.
Some decent background storytelling as well. I think this show is getting better now. The English was kinda funny. I'm starting to also get used to Chika's character a bit now. Heh the Christmas spirit.

Another "heart-touching" Punchline in the end. But still, it gets funny and funnier ever since Narushima joined the Club.

I think this one is worth for "Whoa" moment.

And not this one. :v

Today's story was probably the most entertaining one from this series. Haruta's older sister Minami is great, lol.

That was a lot of money not to mention silver coins.
Guess Amano doesn't have to worry for a while it should be more then enough to give his family a happy life.
Haruto took some drastic measure so that he would not have to live with his sisters.
And from the looks of it Chika made a good impression on his older sister.

Pretty fun ep. Haruta's Oneechan is sexy AF :L
Haruta's reaction to her was lol
But well her driving is something I wouldn't want to experience XD

Loving Chika a lot but honestly starting to like Miyoko more. She's so adorable esp her scaredy-cat nature ^^;

I want a piggy back house as inheritance D: That's insane!! How much was in that thing O_o
And Haru and Chika falling with sensei on the coins...must've been quite a happy moment for both.

One of the worst anime from P.A. Works (don't get me wrong I love this studio). Almost everyone complained on Glasslip, but I liked Glasslip W A Y more than Haruchika (I never considered Glasslip as bad production).

No, you are definitely not the only one. I don't mind love triangles in general, but not something like this. It's one of the reasons why I consider this anime as fail. Second is male MC. Not only because he, ekhm loves HIS male teacher, but because he is boring because he knows everything. And comparing him to MC from Hyouka is just stupid. This show is anticlimactic in general, I don't feel anything pleasurable when I watching it. Maybe it's bad direction, maybe something else.

Totally agreed! Couldn't have said it better myself! I also enjoyed Glasslip. I can see why people hate it, but it isn't that bad imo.

I was planning on keeping this on-hold after that really boring last episode, but I figured that I might as well finish this and get it over with. This episode wasn't great, but it was better than the last 3 episodes. The idea of a mischievous uncle turning an apartment building into a piggy bank, and Haruta somehow figuring that out, was ridiculous, but it wasn't boring at least.

Apollocy22 said:

Probably not. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I doubt anything will happen between any of them anyway, so it's probably innocent.

Probably best ep yet but still kind of boring and repetitive because Haruta seems to figure everything out too easily somehow knowing the right trick. The love triangle is completely unnecessary imo because they seem too childish to even take them serious. And the whole band club thing also seems to be shown at the beginning of each ep but then thrown to the side somewhere in the middle of the ep. Seems like this anime is trying to do too many things at once without really paying attention to how it evens them out.

I quite liked this side story. I didn't expect the outcoming of this, which is almost always a good thing. Haruka and Chika laying in the money next to sensei was a bit over the top though.

I quite like the sister design! With the ponytail and the red/bordeaux red colors c:

I hope they'll move on with the "mainstory" soon though. Side stories only isn't really my thing.

Really good episode, and yet another touching answer to the puzzle. It was also a beautiful and unique Christmas miracle. I think Haruta's knowledge didn't really come into play here in this episode as some are complaining about. He got a hint from his sister about vernacular modernism, there were clues about Amano's uncle making this apartment building into a puzzle/joke, since there are "six" rooms, an extra large key, and the building is soundproof despite being next to an empty lot. Lastly, Haruta heard a coin drop in Maren's house and realized that that's another sound that could sound similar to the ringing sound from a priest's staff. All he had to do from there was put the pieces of the puzzle together, he didn't really need to use any knowledge he had already.

I like the love triangle since it's played out mostly as a joke so far, so I find it rather funny. It just seems like puppy love or a simple crush. I like how Chika covers for Haruta too when Minami asked Haruta why he wants to stay over at his teacher's place so much :) They're rivals but also good friends.

The love triangle between Haruta, Chika and Kusakabe Sensei is actually pretty cute. Meanwhile, I do understand the hate on this, I still think it may be beneficial to the anime in some way (for humor or the plot). Haruta's reaction at his sister suggesting him to come home to stay with his three sisters again is hilarious.

Yeah, everything feels better and funnier when Haruta just doesn't push his way into the lives of strangers. Because he is a nice character, but when he acts like an ass to push people out of their problems just make him the worst character of the season.

Everything was funnier (seeing him freaking out after seeing his sister was hilarious), the love triangle scene was cute, and this episode felt like an actual mystery. I want more episodes like this one.

Hopefully, there won't be more character drama mysteries and more of "Haruta solving problems all by himself". To hell with those episodes.

With sisters like that, (not to mention the early tomboy Chika), it is no wonder Haruta ended up gay. I mean none of his female peers are really good to develop some attachment to the opposite gender, lol.

And Haruta living like a Chicken, I seriously loled at that part. And the triangle thing is quite fun when Haruta and Chika trade blows with each other, yet the fact they retain so much synergy with each other really makes one wish these two formed a couple.

The mystery was nice for a surprise, but I actually feel like the character interaction ruled this episode (Narushima is really cute to watch).

I love both Chika and Haruta.

Lol I think we aren't supposed to take the love triangle seriously because it's obvious sensei is nowhere near interested in the kids. And the fact that they feel like love rivals makes it cute and funny.
So the main mistery is why sensei abandoned his career... let's see how that's executed.

For solving that mystery Amano should have given a reward to Haruta. If not a small cut of that doh then a reduction in rent price (even if only one time) He wouldn't have found it without him.

Also I knew that uncle was awesome. He looked so fun, and so sad when Amano got mad at him :( Like a kicked puppy. Too bad the never made up in person.

A much more entertaining episode than the previous ones; it was pretty funny. I guess I am one of the few people who really likes the love triangle and the characters. It's hilarious whenever Haruta and Chika fight over the teacher haha. Looking forward to the next episode!

I enjoyed this episode, it was a lot of fun! Even though how Haruta figured it out seemed a bit ridiculous but the interaction between characters are really carrying this show now.

Hopefully the show can keep up the entertainment and space out the "monster of the week" (new student to add to the club) episodes with problems involving the regular cast like this.

I agree completely! I absolutely loved this episode to be honest. It was my favourite one so far. The love triangle is hilarious and obviously not serious; Haruta running off from his sister and living like a chicken made me lose it. Chika's and Haruta's sass wars are perfect, and Chika covering up for Haruta adds some great dynamics to their relationship. I also loved the very straightforward foreshadowing of the piggy back right at the beginning of this episode when one of the club members asked for donations. Chika catching that piece of paper made me go 'Chika slayy'.



This moment topped it all off tbh. 5/5.

I still think the chances of Haruta and Chika falling for each other eventually are high. I mean. their feelings for their teacher is probably nothing more than a crush and nothing will come out of it anyway as I highly doubt the teacher will end up dating either.

Haruta's eldest sister is epic. With driving skills like that, she can give Shirobako's Aoi Miyamori a run for her money in terms of driving any day! =D

The english words were nicely done as well

Best episode so far and it had a solid mystery theme to it. Amano's uncle was an amusing guy though, with his pranks being well thought out as well as being funny too.

It was surprising that the building was a colossal piggy bank for an infinite amount of 500-Yen coins. Looks like there was two Christmas miracles that happen right there, the money being the first, then Kusakabe having Haruta & Chika in his arms. It seems that a love triangle is forming between the three now!

Although I would like to see a bit more music scenes, as long as the mysteries and characters remains of a good quality, then this show could become an underrated gem this season.
