What's with that thing on her head? Lol, looks so weird.

It looks like a somewhat tense episode with the popularity voting reaching its deadline. Regardless of the votes, it looks like the idols really do appreciate their fans.

I think it's better to have one faithful and close fan than a mass of unknown fans, good episode.

The Eripiyo x Maina ship needs to sail.

This was a pretty good episode. Too bad Eripiyo didn't make it for the final day of the voting.

Wow, back to back Eripiyo getting into an accident and being unable to support Maina (the way she wanted to), talk about rinse and repeat. sasuga, almost surpasses the plethora of misunderstandings that have happened


but Aya's quest killed it though. Really is the best character in this show

Aya trying to change her image was hilarious, the line on her chest was super sad xD. I really like her, she's probably my favorite. EMBRACE YOUR LOLINESS!

Motoi is getting on my nerves. Poor Sorane :'(

Communication problems between Eripiyo and Maina continue but at least the ending was sweet.

I really hope Eripiyo and Maina start interacting more because there was barely anything and we are already at episode 7. >.<

But at least Reo and Kumasa are pretty wholesome.

YES agreed! Motoi is being a jerk, and I also feel like he's starting to cross that line. Like I felt like this episode had an ominous feel to it with Motoi being extra aggressive wanting Sorane to himself, and that one persons gift certificate being rejected.

sadly the votes for Maina did not count but having such a fan is already the best thing you can get as an idol. Their happy days shall continue!

Is the soft and sweet yuri story about an idol and a fangirl Maina is so CUTE <3

It must be one of the most underrated anime of the season, why so few people are watching it?

Although the ranking in the group seems cannibal and useless, if particular jobs like "Girls' Festival" can be assigned to only limited number of members, it might be one of the ways. But voting and purchase are totally different matter.

I don't know how the author decided Maina's family name, 'Ichii' has the same pronunciation to "the first place" in Japanese.

Probably people think the show is usual idol anime. I usually avoid idol anime too. Also the annoyance of Eripiyo in the first episode may shake off some audience.

Great episode as always.

I love how supportive of Maina Eripyo is and it makes me happy to see how happy Maina gets every time she realizes that she has Eripyo's full fledged support. :)

To be honest, I want to see Eripyo in clothes that are not a tracksuit. I think she'd look great in nice dress.

Ending was very sweet.

This and Seton Academy are my two favorite shows for this season. I don't think i have ever had so many yuri ships in one show in my life. I ship Maina and Eripiyo almost as much as Rin and Kou from New Game which is my favorite yuri couple.

Really liked this episode. But...

Can we just push Eripiyo x Maina storyline into the trash and make Reo & Kumasa the main stars of the show? Clearly, those two are the best take on an idol-fan relationship.

Speaking of trash, Motoi is just the worst kind of fan an idol could ask for. Although, it looks like he may soon learn to not be so selfish.

Still, I would not mind Sorane actually dating someone just to see him die internally.

All said, Motoi still seems to be much more well-written as a character than the non-committal Maina. If only the silly miscommunications did not continue for so long, this would have been the best idol anime of all time.

The popularity vote ranking continues and ends within the week, and Eripiyo just can't stop her momentum supporting for Maina, at least not now towards the endgame.

For Kumasa to take Eripiyo's stead for Maina, with said girl back to full recovery = more money = last minute comeback. So pouting for fellow idol girls to be in their own rebellion when it comes to stuff like this, case in point: Aya, who got 6th after trying THAT hard.

And then comes the final day, and I STILL find it disturbingly funny that Eripiyo and Maina exists for one another and one another ONLY. All her effort exists to keep her alive. What a shameless plug, and it was all worth it, in spirit and mind.

The voting stage comes...and expectedly Reo takes 1st place.

Oh ho, someone captured this info as well...would we be able to see Maina take centerstage before the end of the anime?

As said of a true stan, Eripiyo makes her decisions clear that Maina is always the No.1 in her heart. Wooohhh!

Well this was a fun one.

Why everything has to be so complicated?

And I find it unrealistic that Maina has no other fans, she is cute, she should have at least a couple of guys who'd be into her...

I don't know how the author decided her name, Japanese pronounce 'minor' as 'maina-'. Therefore...
Anyway, it would be comfortable to be in the back line for a shy girl like Maina for now.

Man I really liked Motoi at first because he was unironically the most 'normal' of the group, but right now he's utter garbage.

He literally believes that being a 'fan' will give him some kind of ownership with Sorane. The worst part is that even if unintentional, he was the one who made her lose popularity.

It was a good episode for Eripyo x Maina tho, that last moment was extremely cute, made my heart melt uvu

Of course Eripiyo would overwork again to the point of exhaustion. She's so blind regarding this obsession of hers it's almost embarrassing to see. Well, at least she got her message across (kinda) in that last scene with Maina.

Misunderstandings continue, but at least the ending was wholesome.

And damn Kumasa, where'd you get the money for 100 CDs?

Motoi's being too weird. Supporting your idol and making up a delusional fantasy in your head of being together with because she's alone are not the same thing. If you want to support your idol, you need to do things that make her happy. Even in a romantic relationship, that's also true. But here it's just pure selfishness. Poor Sorane...

Aya's image change was hilarious. Yuka's blunt comments were also hilarious. These two are the comedic pillars of the group lol I really love it when they interact and all.

I'm glad Yuuka is the 3rd, she is cool. But that's only because Sorane has lost many fans.
Reo is really boring, she is the 1st only because of Kuma. She should marry him for this.
Mako must be number one and Yumeri number 3.
I don't know what to think about Motoi. I can understand him. Sorane is paying more attention to him. But she is also suffering for nothing.
I hope she will know whole story from Rena or from Motoi himself. Sorane is professional and kind, and she lost the half of her fan-base because of misunderstanding. Somebody most do something about it.
Eri x Maina relationship are getting more and more romantic which cool. Can't be grateful enough for Ai Fairouz voice acting for Eri.

Agree 100%!!! This episode is all about that. A fan, so dedicated, that when they can't make the event, they send in a substitute!

That makes him a STAN(d) In.

OK sorry, I oculdn't resist the pun.
