Mm, this episode gave a lot more screen time between Neji and Nisaka.

The episode had fan service with the body measuring. The boys were drooling from behind the scenes...I can't help but face palm during that scene. Similarly, the girls were very interested when Nisaka was being examined.

Seems Misaki got really into talking about her past and present this episode.

The ending was intense Misaki's feelings are clear but will Nejima make the right choice, the outcome could be very bad for both of them.
That being said i am rooting for Lilina i like her a lot more then Misaki.

Nisaka's father makes an appearance and he seems like a nice guy but the question is, what is his role there seems to be a reason for his introduction not to mention the timing.

This episode was less paced than the pevious ones, but i liked it more.
Poor Nisaka,he's actually the only character that is going to have a bad end in every circumstance.He's so cute, and his tsundere side was nothing new but fun to watch.
I can't understand where the plot is going...I have the feeling they are just beating around the main problem without touching it for the serie length safe....

ps:i'm sorry for eventual mistakes,i'm not english :(

Misaki let it all out. Her feelings are clear but Nejima is in a tough position. Either way, it seems everyone is going to get hurt regardless of what choices they make.

Great episode again. I really wish I didn't like some of these characters so when they eventually get their bad endings I wouldn't feel sad for them.

Same here xD

Aside from that, the last segment with Yukari and Misaki totally got me, so bittersweet. I also like, that the stage play is a nice reference to their current situation.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Takasaki poured her heart out to Neji in that final interaction but what will come of it? In the end she knows no matter how much she loves him she can't have him...just like the lines from Romeo and Juliet that she recites this is a forbidden love.

Also Nisaka's feelings for Nejima haven't really been explored properly in this anime yet...this episode teased at those feelings but only on a surface level. Nisaka is sheltering his emotions and as his dad says this episode building a wall around himself. I hope we see more of Nisaka's true feelings.

Lastly we didn't see much from Riri this episode...we know her feelings for Neji are coming to the forefront and she is struggling with that new feeling but I was hoping to see more from her this episode...oh well.

Overall it was another good episode that leaves me wondering how this is all going to work out and whose heart will be broken in the end? Can't wait to see how the next episode pans out!

You had to feel for Nisaka when Nejima talked to him about Romeo and Juliet because he is living that story just like Misaki is when she poured her heart out about all the time she has been in love with Nejima

Wow, I'm surprised at how fast everything is being covered. This episode adapted around chapter 70-76. I'm thinking by the end of the anime, they'll reach pretty close to where the manga is at right now.

Moreover, they adapted the 'what is love" scene pretty well. Nejima being unable to response to Misaki's question "Did you fall in love Liliana yet?", definitely makes me question if he fully likes misaki as much as he says he does through out the anime.

Nisaka got more screen time in this episode. Got to meet his father. He's pretty funny. It was nice to see Nisaka smile. Misaki got emotional at the end. She really loves Nejima.

Good episode.

Neji is unknowingly seducing Nisaka by showing he has so much faith in him. xD

That conversation with Misaki talking about how much she loves Neji really made me smile, she really loves Neji with all her heart. :(

Damn, I'm still on the Ririna ship but with this episode I might just might have second thoughts. xD

Fuck, just when I thought I had decided on Ririna, Misaki shows why she's also a good contender.

The thing is I'm all for the "fuck the system" thing but I like Ririna more. But Misaki is suffering so much and it isn't fair that way. DAMMIT

I was about to post something along these lines.
Seriously, Nejima is like the Epitome of shit, the simple fact he is like he is gives me the chills, and is the reason why I can't rate this anime higher no matter how much I try.
This anime is ok, but the MC is super shit, this episode was the exact display of it.

The second part of the episode was really good because of Misaki, she's still a best girl at least for me even though there are sadly way to many flags that proves otherwise. The quote "What is love?" certainly may be the weird and out-of-place thing to say to other person here but when given the context of the world they are living in, it makes much more sense (as you can say the full sentence "What is the love for when we can't be with each other?" instead)

The sound direction is still way too off for this series though, with the music being way too loud and intrusive during dialogues and Neji's VA is still ridiculous with his squeaky sheepish voice, he would be a lot better with a lot deeper tone. This thing really bothers me all the time and they are effectively changing his character by this. The bad thing is the same applies to Ririna too. HanaKana was great as always though.

By the current pacing it's almost certain now they won't reach the end in four episodes... probably end around chapter 100 or something. Let's just hope another season is still possible.

Niisaka as Juliet in that preview... YAS BOY. SIGN ME THE FK UP.

But in all seriousness, the ending of this episode was so sad;__; Misaki is so in love with Nejima. I do wonder if they are ever going to bring up the e-mail glitch that happened at the beginning where Nejima's assigned partner was said to be Misaki at first or if that was just a simple plot device to get our hopes up & then thrown away.
Looking forward to more Ririna screen time in the next episode. Gosh, I just want the best for all these characters but that'll never happen T.T

Man I really can't choose a team already, both girls are great (I like Misaki a little more than Lilina and this ending made me like her even more) .
I vote Neji keep them both, it's not impossible, but maybe he doesn't has the guts

To me it doesn't seem like he cares for Misaki any less. Imagine it as an RGB slider: He was already fully red for Misaki... But here comes Ririna just adding in blue. Its not any less red, but now he's thinking "what has this become? Does this color still mean love? Or actually, what color IS love?" He's seeing this new tint inside and questioning what it really means for the outside.

Besides, its totally possible to be in love with both of them.


I think at this point he still loves Misaki more, but he loves Ririna more deeply.

I was rooting for Lilina all the way but after seeing Misaki in this episode, I'm having second thoughts on the matter. Maybe it's better for her to be the end girl. Although, I don't mind harem end too XD

Now we have 4 episodes left. I'm hoping it gets even better.

woooooww that is too much for a Misaki x Nejima shippers out there, HanaKana really doing a great job here glad they took her as misaki va though i didnt expect that

seriously this just makes me rooting for misaki even more wtf
and this is why i changed side in nisekoi, onodera took so long to confess her feelings i wonder if the same will happen to misaki if she did the same thing to nejima (probably will)

I like Ririna, but I ship Yukari x Misaki so badly. I mean it's really painful to see her like that. They both love each other since they were kids, how could you possibly don't ship them??? That preview of next episode though, omg Nisaka with long hair, what a trap.

Other than the ending, I can't say I particularly enjoyed this episode. The stuff with Nisaka doesn't feel as if it was handled well at all, not least because we got little to no context about his relationship with his father (I get the feeling that they have a strained relationship, and I seem to recall his father being in the Ministry, but that's about it). Also, it doesn't help that I don't really care about this play they're doing or how it turns out, although I did feel sorry for Nisaka when they were suggesting giving him fake boobs (doesn't doing that kinda defeat the purpose of it being a gender-swapped Romeo and Juliet, though?).

Pretty interesting episode, no Ririna which is sort of a disappointment. I still don't know which girl I want Nejima to end up with them. I like both of them.

Seems like Nisaka really IS gay, something seems off about his dad though, I can't quite put my finger on it but his dad has a weird presence.

Seems like Misaki REALLY likes Nejima.

Was Nejima's voice always so high pitched/sheepish? It kinda bothered me in the first half, but never before oO

This episode made me feel like changing ships from Ririna to Misaki, but I'll see what happens next time Ririna gets screentime. I kinda like both of them equally atm.
Nisaka's father was cool, jumpin down from the bridge like that and all. The costume and wig really suits Nisaka in the preview hahah.

I love Misaki tho

This is just a theory, but it's probably just a test, and that Misaki was actually was the real one chosen for Neji, the glitch and Misaki's friend working for the system proves this theory

This episode is so intense

The bgm is also amazing <3

I am rooting for Ririna since few eps back then, cause I think thats the safest way to prevent more tragic occurrence, as they can't beat the system. And you just can't denial the calculation done by the system to choose the one you have the highest chance to be satisfy with, Ririna would always be the right path.
But I am ok for Misaki too, because if they wanna denial the system, they just have to bear the consequences.

The most important part I think i s Neji make his decision ASAP, as this would minimize the damage done to all of them
The sooner Neji make his choice the better for all of them, as if you hold something back for too long without considering the outcome, then the outcome would probably be worse.

I am very glad I didn't drop this show
