watching Kyouko scene give me "something sexual gonna happen" vibe..
also the animation give me monogatari vibes when she talk after she wake up..

I admit she's hot..
I loved to have a big sister like her tho..
I'd tap dat. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

There were small hints of affection here and there though, I guess she still feels something for him. If she didn't care at all she would not come into boy's room so late into the night in the first place.


I'm pretty sure that she only visited him that night because of the match tomorrow and the situation Rei's currently in shogi-wise.
He explained earlier how he can't risk losing any matches anymore, seeing as he might be demoted.

Not only did she purposefully guilt trip him by talking about their father, his next opponent and criticizing how he got this place through his connections; she also acted surprised when she saw that he hadn't slept at all.
I use "acted" because she obviously knew that he wouldn't be able to calm down with her in the room and chose this particular night to "haunt" him in order to sabotage his concentration and consequently make him lose his match the next day (possibly resulting in him being demoted at the end).

(Not that she can't still feel affection for Rei but I think the sleepover just wasn't anything like that at all)


Indeed, couldn't see any affection in any of her words or actions; if she feels something for him it isn't anything positive.

Man the rei is such a pussy it's not even funny. He should've talked back to that bitch and never let her in and instead call the fucking police. I just can't sympathize with him anymore.

I’m unclear about how he feels right here. Is it admiration or something more endearing?

No amount of outer beauty can make up for such an ugly inside. Kyouko needs a lot of help to deal with all of that bitterness and hatred.

My heart goes out Rei even more though. Right when things seemed to be getting better too.

Kyoko is like an evil Oshino in the way she speaks. Whole exchange reminded me of my uncle and I. Shogi song was cute and didn't annoy me surprisingly.

5/5 episode. Looks like the series is kicking into overdrive now.

Some weird dysfunctional dymanic these two have. It definitely didn't seem like he hated her or was afraid, though he obviously was cautious. What are her motivations though, I can't even begin to fathom. I wonder what happened between them before. Don't know if I interpreted that correctly, but it seems like she was calling him out on the fact that his next opponent is someone who really cares about shogi, but will lose, while he would win.

Ugh, please Nikaido, spare us from your appearances. The cat song was fine last episode, a bit redundant with the explanation about shogi pieces but okay, however the shogi song was insufferable this episode. So annoying

Kyouko's chapter really saved this episode for me because of Rei's reaction to her: At some point he seemed to be in love with her. And not in a healthy way.

Ugh. Kyouko sucks. She's not one of those characters you love to hate. She's just annoying and i want to fast forward through her scenes. I really hope she doesn't take on a large role in the show from this point on.

Those facial expression animations reminds me of the monogatari series. Nakaido is a underrated character. Yes he's pushy, but everyone could use a friend like him.

It was cute seeing Nikaidou teach the kids shogi. He's actually a pretty good teacher. Better than I expected, at least. I can't wrap my head around what Kyouko was trying to accomplish. Was she just trying to bring Rei down? She seems like an abhorrent human being, treating Rei like that. I'm glad Rei has positive role models in his life like Araki in his life.

Troublemaker has appeared out of nowhere, Rei and Kyouko's relationship is a bit strange, not really hate relation ship but also not one what most siblings have. Bit awkward there when she knew that the new futon didn't smell like Rei

Sometimes I forget this show was made by Shaft; then we get something like the scene with Kyouko in this episode and all the Shaft style comes flying out.

Good episode.

Kyouko is a perfectly written character. My God, the complexity, her way of being, her behaviour (thanks to wonderful animation)... everything is so perfectly constructed. Can't find word to describe how stunned I am after that sequence.

And how they showed her sensual/sexual body parts/behaviour, it added a new perspective of looking at her.

The first part was really heartwarming and I started to admire Nikaidou. Such a passionate guy. Just as when Kiriyama got his inspiration to move forward Kyoko showed up grrr.

I seriously adore the animation and the scenes especially when their hair flows in the air.

Quite the educational shogi book. Neat that the granddaughters can now play against their grandfather. Little things like that are so heartwarming.

But that chick coming over to Kiriyama's... Didn't feel right at all. Don't like her. Don't trust her. Does she have romantic feelings for Kiriyama? Her boyfriend beat up Kiriyama? She's nuts.

Damn, Kyouko. Don't barge in your brother's appartment like you own the place. Can't you take the hint you're not exacly welcome here (Rei reminding about last train)? Also, stop manipulating Rei into losing a game, he's not responsible for your daddy's raising methods.

And I was feeling sorry for her after 5th episode...

Hm.. Alright.. Shougi seems like a fun game.. Reminds chess a bit, but some moves are different, of course..
Harunobu both wrote and drew that book, huh.. Impressive.. ;P Works like this also help in popularizing sport, I imagine.. Though, also not sure, how much people read books nowadays.. With how you can just use internet.. Well, maybe at least some still do, still can add interest to at least some people..
Where Harunobu takes his energy, you ask, Rei?.. Well.. Maybe shougi is his passion?.. It's meaningful for him to work more and more on Shougi..
Yeah, this game can make your time more enjoyable, as well as bring people together.. I'd also add, really, that it helps training and developing your brain as well..
Well.. Relationships with Kyouko are strained, but could be even worse, I guess.. Not sure, why she proposes to throw upcoming game to Rei.. Maybe just out of not liking him.. Or maybe something else.. Not sure..

I have NO idea how everyone likes Nikaidou. He's so annoying, I almost hate Rei for being so spineless and dealing with his shit. But clearly, that's an unpopular opinion since everyone here loves him. Maybe y'all relate to the kid.

The scene with Kyouko was fantastic, is like a Monogatari character just slided into this episode for a moment, hope to see a lot more of her.

Nikaido has also been pretty great so far.

No hate for either of these two from me.

uhhh kyouko is insufferable. even seeing rei's backstory living w his adopted father, she seemed like such a vile, wicked child. and even "grown up" she still seems that way. she was just really creepy and weird this episode. was hoping rei would slam the door in her face and go to bed instead of being such a pushover and letting her inside.

i assume that theres gonna be some kind of "redemption" episode where shes shown to be a good person yadda yadda yadda father didnt give her enough attention as a child etc etc etc

Oh boy, Kyouko is already my favourite female character from this show. No disrespect to Akari though. She's an amazing villain, with how she came just the day before the match to mess up his mind.

Also, the explanation of shogi was pretty good.
