What's with that bandage thing near her lips lol

The humor aside, Eripiyo is making new friends. I mean, she could get along with Rena.

Kumasa running was hilarious haha, seems like there is a new Maina stan, and it's Motoi's little sister, but Maina is still always thinking of Eripiyo, it was good to have more development between them

This show is great at making Eripiyo and Maina moments feel special everytime, i'm super invested in them.

This is very good.

2 fans already for Maina, she definitely deserves even more fans. Even Reina being her fan too, noone will have the same feeling as Eripiyo has for Maina. Their relationship is getting better and better

This continues to be fantastic, I love the interactions between Maina and Eripyo. It's wholesome, cute and sweet but at the same time depressing because of what happened last episode.

I cannot believe that staff person didn't even tell Maina what happened let along apologize to her and Eripyo for it.

Eripyo's reaction to Rena was gold and the part where she mentioned she looks a lot like Sorane had me laughing. XD

Maina needs more fans damnit shes the underdog of the group at least she got one new one

seems that Eripyo's love is more wholesome at least for the idol Maina even if she goes way over the top she still respected her private life so the translation for "stan" seems even less appropriate now but they still used Wota so i dunno what's up with the subs lol.

also wtf Staff-san you guys know Eripyo on a name bases this isn't some major group she has 1 fan! how did she not think to tell Maina

So is this show really not shoujo-ai/yuri? Cause Eripiyo has some weird feelings for Maina, Maina seems like she's in love with Eripiyo, Maki has the hots for Yumeri based on the last episode, according to MU it has GL subtext which I guess makes sense so far


And wow, didn't know Maina was into the good ol Hitler stache.

But other than that, a rather meh episode if I'm honest

The lines and voice acting of Yuka are hilarious again.

The Sorane fan's sister is just like Sorane. Hearing this, she drew back in alarm. So embarrassing and he could die. XD

They said the concert was held in a big city, but there is no modern train that has a step at the entrance. Maybe either the train is old and has bulky structure inside or the city has a lot of snow?

LOL Rena looks exactly like mini-Sorane. Love that. I love how she's a Maina fan too; all her fans (all two of them) are boyish girls xD

Train scene at the end was also nice, it seems like at the end of each episode there's a dramatic/romantic climax moment and they get just a little bit closer. The problem is still that they're both playing characters around each other; Eripiyo as the "crazed fangirl" and Maina as just an "appreciative celebrity". One of you needs to be more honest!

Seeing the number of replies ITT, I see why /a/ hates MAL.
By far the best show of the season, and the best idol show since iM@S.
My only gripe is the staff not telling Maina that they completely lost a huge package from Eri. Those two absolute dipshits. Maina had ONE fan and she finally got a package from her, they lost it, and didn't even tell her. Plot convenience.

I like it because it is not an idolshow, but a show about idols from the fan side of things.
The staffer girls probably feared repercussions because they f'ed up, so they kept silent. It will eventually come out, but with both Eripiyo and Maina being stupid, inept and shy it will take a lot of time.
'Hey, your sister looks exactly like the idol you love...' kind of rings all the alarm bells ....

I still do not understand what Maina wants out of Eripiyo. Like does she just want her as a normal fan? a friend? a lover? Also on the contrary Eripiyo pisses me off. Like you have a chance to talk to Maina as an individual on the train. Like start a conversation with her! how about "Oh I like that dress, I never see you wearing something other then Salmon." And then fucking progress!

That a huge issue I have with this anime is the progression...THERE BARELY IS ANY!!!

Yet I am still drawn to it each and every week.

If you are telling me this show doesn't have absolutely gorgeous pastel backgrounds you are lying. I'm really digging these.

The hitlerstache that literally noone mentions here was a nice job of edgy comedy without actually mentioning. Especially after it was introduced as "The type of ideal man that Maina likes"... I laughed my ass off as a german. I can't wait for someone getting offended and calling this some fascist dog-whistle or some shit lmao.

As I thought, the misunderstandings seem a lot more bearable now that I know what to expect.

Also, Eripiyo's fear of rejection/hate was all too easy to relate to.

As far as I know, fans reaching out to idols outside of work is not a very positive act. That is kind of where the line is drawn between fans and idols. In that sense, Eripiyo did the right thing.

eripiyo is doing this for Maya's sake. If she's selfish she would've interacted with her, and if they were caught together Maya would be in a lot of trouble

So we are finally getting a slowburn lesbian romance in a anime which isn't set in highschool and people are sleeping on it?

definitely the most underrated anime of the season

It's kind of awful that the staff didn't mention that they lost a present for an idol from their only fan. Although I am starting to get a bit frustrated in Maina never saying anything straight to Eripiyo.

OH WELP, GUY OR GIRL, rain or shine, NOTHING stops MC Eripiyo from reaching near towards Maina. And that's still the funny bit.

On the haiku strips part, it's just sad that the staff losing it doesn't get mentioned, it would've been phenomenal, but then again, fanmade presents aren't taken the slightest of cares.

A new challenger appears...or rather, a new fan for Maina! Nice to see the underdog get some love...from another fan, Motoi's sister Rena. Sad that she's getting more of the attention than Eripiyo, but all is well.

NGL the train scene should've been Eripiyo's moment to shine for Maina but she chickened out...definitely not a Yuri moment...what's stopping these 2?

The slowburn romance between Maina and Eripiyo is killing me, but in the best way possible.

"You have a real little sister?"
"She looks like Sorane"

A wholesome episode. It seems Maina can express herself a bit more, just a bit, towards Eripiyo. That "Why only one?" was damn cute.

I honestly thought that was Sorane's little sister or something. I didn't really realise it until Eripiyo said it, but Motoi's love for Sorane has got to have something to do with her being really like her sister lol

Unfortunately not enough publicity got this anime. No One is even have license this show.
I only know about this anime only because of one post from anime website that showed clip of this series.

Now we can only hope that people like Gigguk will made video mentioning this anime.
I can even imagine Gigguk narration: "When this season started I was thinking that this will be weak anime season because of lack of gems like Vinland Saga, Dr Stone and Demon Slayer... but I was wrong maybe there was no unifying gems of this season (*ekhm* Interspecies Reviewers *ekhm*) there was a lot of hiden gems ..."

Honestly, I thought Reina was Sorane's younger sister when I first saw her but man... and here I thought Motoi was the normal of the trio... the guy got so exposed right there xD

So... are the misunderstandings going to be something recurrent in the series? Because they are starting to become rather frustrating if I'm honest.

Sorane's simp is fucked up beyond all recognition.
I'm so happy that Eripyo have met Rena and now they support Maina together. Only one thing: Rena is awesome but she is also pretty young to be hardcore fan so she can quit any moment.
I really want to see Eri hanging out with Maina in real life, but i'm not sure if Eri is ready for this. Maybe that's to early in the series but i want they become real friends or partners at the end.
