Lol, is it just me or does this series really like to feature the main male MC without clothes on..? Or at least this episode anyway.

Seems Itsuki made Miyako a bit mad and got a slap to the face.


Lot of fan service with the girls as expected.

Honestly this episode was much better than the first and we got some background story about the characters which was really nice.
I have to say that the main is a bit sad tho calling a girl he just met a bitch even tho she was just trying to approach him.
Well it seems she does have some feelings for him seeing she is still coming despite the things that happened.

This episode wasn't as funny as the first but it was still equally as good given that we got to see the backstories of our mains with the slight exception of Nayu whose background is still shrouded in a bit of mystery

I liked the relationship that the MC has Miyako a lot though, their interactions and conversations were pretty amusing and the same can be said with her and Nayu too (I'm not gonna lie, her writing naked is 10/10 and Miyako joining in made it 20/10)

But uhhhhhhhhhh, that post credits scene tho =/ Don't tell me that the step sibling really is a girl.......

I feared they would have just carried on without properly introducing the characters, instead we got many flashbacks and backstories in this episode that helped understanding everyone's motivations and worries. I don't know why they went with those 4-koma like stamps and debatable comedy last episode. This was much better in terms of flow even with all the cuts between different stories. Perhaps a bit rushed for the two girls, but we already saw a glimpse of Nayu's past last episode and we might get more from Miyako in the future. All in all pretty decent episode and the anime won back my attention ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Seconded. Nayu and Miyako's scenes were glorious.

I also think the show did a good job of characterizing Haruto.

I really really liked Itsuki's Monologue at the end about how someone else will always have what you want and more often than not, it'll hardly mean anything to them.

well the first episode did introduce him as itsukis step brother. I guess the final few seconds of ep 2 was made to clarify that he is actually a she.

Is it me, or it's one of the funniest animes this year?
It's only 2nd episode and I already want to rate it 10.
I like how (and I hope it won't change) main character has a weird obsession with little sisters, writes strange things about them but is actually pretty normal.
Also, the end of this episode was pretty deep.
I can't wait for more.

I have mixed feelings on the beginning segment, but the rest of the episode transitioned the scenes quite well. It felt way more natural than the constant use of stamp in the first episode. Keep it up this way!

There was a lot of character development here. Nayuta and Miyako both have feelings for Itsuki . Haruto is very competitive, and feels that with mainstream appeal he can eventually pass those with critical acclaim. And it was telling how nervous Itsuki's brother looked when he said that he had a sister, and the sigh of relief when he said that his sister was in his heart. Something curious is going on there.

Another good episode.

Idk why but it's seems like the first part of the eps. is for questioning your morality... Even though it's only for research. The rest part is good though. Since this is an 12 eps. anime I hope they don't rushed it too much and have an open ending like Koi to Uso. I hope...

For once, I'm glad the show is avoiding the usual imouto tropes and instead doing some commentary on the characters' personal lives and relationships. We get some backstory on Itsuki and Miyako, as well as some hilarious banter. Also, is it just me or the animation quality briefly went up during the fanservice scene? Anyway, this is proving to be a pleasant watching experience, and hopefully it will improve over the season.

I wish this anime went back to being a full comedy, because the drama suuucks.

Her backstory is she was bullied...really? I expected something actually serious, like loss of a family member, shitty grades.

Why do we have to wait until the end of the anime for them to solve their stupid romantic problem? Why can't it be solved now, get it over with?

What's the plot?

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the slicker animation during the fan service scene. It made it way hotter.

I enjoy that last bit in the end with the monologue. this episode gives more depth to the characters, so they all have their own troubles, but can sill carry on in their lives and find joy when they meet up.

the fanservice scene was unexpected because I thought it was gonna be insinuated, not actually shown

Could be an interesting series about writers and writing, but most of the screen time is wasted on poor attempts at humour and contrived service scenes. Not worth it.

It's still in the middle of LN Vol 1's story but some parts from Ep 2 actually occur later in the LN. The part where Chihiro is revealed as a girl happens at the end of LN Vol 1.

The service scene at the hotel is actually from Vol 2 and the anime cut out the more lewd parts that happen after Nayuta asks Miyako if she can fondle her butt. Maybe they decided to split that scene by putting the early part in Ep 2 and then the rest will be in a later episode.

Wow. I was pretty surprised by how they filled most of the episode with trashy jokes and fanservice, and then right at the end pulled a really clever thesis out of it. Makes me think maybe the elements which appear to be less than clever are actually in service of some bigger idea they're building towards. Will have to keep watching to find out.

Cannot call this episode's erotic scenes fanservice because all of them are inside the story. Fanservice uses to be outside the story scope and with the only purpose of pleasing the fans. Silver Link knew to animate all nude scenes in a smart way, without censorship need; all of them are very beautiful. The story is getting better. The characters are getting more interesting. Girls are very pretty.

Whew, that flashback scene of Nayi combined with the direction and visuals was great.

Everyone in this group of four has something that they want (a little sister, Itsuki himself, the dedication to do something worthwhile for yourself, success with writing something that appeals to the critics).

Haruto's desire is the most interesting for sure, he definitely didn't go wrong with his polished novel back then and it sold for sure but he was not satisfied being compared to Itsuki who seems to be a genius. I wanna see where this goes.

NYANPASU~~~!

Also i appreciate the fanservice there ;)

This show is, without a doubt, trash. I did appreciate the quick attempt at depth near the end when Haruto's getting angsty about his honorable mention award...but really, it was ultimately quite ironic when this show has clearly done everything that Haruto was criticized for (cashing in on current trend, doing a perfectly decent job but ultimately unoriginal, etc.) I may keep watching because I personally have no problem including a few brainless shows every cour, but it's not gonna get more than a 4 or 5 from me unless a miracle happens.

she is the truth Waifu in this season!





Don't insult decent Waifu's heart ❤️❤️

What you want, someone else always has. And usually it means nothing to the person who actually has it. It's pretty much a miracle when you have what you want and most comedies and tragedies happen due to the absence of that miracle. That's basically how this whole world works.

I dont know. I kinda like the general theme of the story because I liked Bakuman. But the characters are just so over the top. Miyako and Haruto are kind of normal, while Nayuta is basically a nymph and Itsuki has a little-sister-compley and is talking about it 24/7. Its just annoying. Im kinda 50/50 right now, but I liked this episode much more than the first one.

Very true, that it is a philosophy in our world, the balance comes from that something good or what you want ends up happening to others who do not value it, and you can only look at from afar like that you love is wasted by others people...

Itsuki is a stupid protagonist, but knows very well that miracles do not exist, the reality is one, and you can't change what can't be changed. In that sense is very realistic, although he likes to fantasize with the idea of a small sister, although he doesn't know the whole truth in his family xD

Another thing that is certainly true, is this incorrect adaptation! fuck! they omitted literal the naked Myaa and Nayu! fuck! and Nayu tells even more about the abuse he suffered when she was small and at school! ... the studio did a flashback and it was horrible!

I love the ED it's beautiful! It reminds me of the Korean Doramas that my sister sees xD

I needed these scenes! I needed to see the beautiful, tight and sweet peach of Myaa!



I hope they do not censor the scene of the thermal bath xD This is a masterpiece of Kantoku-sensei! 👌💙💙

The naked scenes aside, this episode actually showed how deep it can be when portraying a character's problems. It surprised me a bit.

It seems Miyako wants a passion, something that Nayuta and Itsuki have. But Nayuta wants to have Itsuki all to herself. However, Itsuki wants a little sister. And then, Haruto does have a sister but says it's not all that great, yet Haruto wants Itsuki's reputation.
