| I too wanna have a private twitter account to complain about the episode while watching it |
| bonjour |
| Kazuya man really likes Mami and that kissing scene tho xD Mami with those msgs on twitter tho. |
 |
| That fucking Mami, what does she want, god damn |
 |
| this anime is actually getting kind of annoying, but I'm still going to finish it because I want to see the other girls. |
 Kyoto Animation rocks |
| I cant watch this crap anymore, the insuferable beta protagonist is too damn annoying, the virgin manages to feel aroused at the thought of being netotared in episode 1. Having a weak protagonist is one thing, but having the whole romance plot only advancing because the heroine feels sorry for the absolutely pathetic MC, that keeps creating misunderstandings for no reason other than being a complete loser is just stupid. How old is he supposed to be? because even a middle school student wouldnt be this retarded and immature. And im supposed to believe this story should develop into a romance? Not a beliveable one at the very least, but i guess this is a harem?....Im not surprised if thats the case, logic and proper story development shouldnt apply when the MC is the most pathetic self insert i have seen in recent years. 2/10 - HARD DROP |

KANLen09 said: Kazuya's friends are not "envious that he has gotten two steps ahead of them". Did you miss the part which Kibe states, "Kazuya is a flop with the ladies" or something along that line. You spread misinformation in the Tower of God episode discussions too. How do you come to these conclusions? We watched the episode so please add something to the conversation instead of giving an incorrect summary.Beach episode...well, that came early. his friends are envious that he has gotten two steps ahead of them. |

gaussian_ said: Chizuru states her clothes are in the restroom.I wonder where Ichinose hid her glasses (and pants and shirt) when she transformed into Chizuru. Her attire didn't leave any place for them to hide...perhaps our rental girlfriend is also a magical girl-friend. |

| Well, every anime needs a beach episode... amirite? honestly, Mizuhara is gonna be my waifu now since this episode aired |
 |
| I've already said it a couple of times before, but I have to say it again. The protagonist is absolutely pathetic. I don't know how people find him relatable. If he was replaced a smarter and less nonsensical protagonist, I definitely would've been able to enjoy this show a lot more. |
| The show likes plot coincidences so Chizuru and Kazuya can meet. Same beach, same public bathroom, same time at that public bathroom lmao. Despite that, I'm really enjoying this anime, i'm laughing lol. I can't believe I'm saying this but Kayuza is acting like a lot of people would act now. This is not the case with Yesterday, where I could not find realism, although this anime needs to chill a bit with the amount of coincidences to advance the plot cuz they're ridiculous, I find Kazuya's character very realistic and many people don't want to assume they could act like him xD |

| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| I guess this series is just doing a roller coaster of episodes where we actually started with the MC at a higher point than he is now. Beginning: MC feels breakup blues and hires girl. He treats girl not too bad, some cute mishaps but nothing intentionally destructive. Now: MC has repeatedly embarrassed rental to friends and ex girlfriend. He embarrasses himself to friends and ex. He continues to parade rental around like a prize mare at a parade while trying to sex up his bi polar ex. Still watching since I wax a panel on my car....watch episode.....wax car....etc. It's the only way I can take this series.....small bits with breaks in between. |

| For a guilty pleasure style anime like this, some of these visuals are damn impressive. Also, I have no idea who the pink hair 4th girl is, but from the ED alone she's already best girl. |
 |
| Oh boy,,,, This anime is a guilty pleasure but Kazuya and Mami are really making it hard to enjoy. If it wasn’t for Chizuru, I’d probably drop it- |
 why am i plagued with furry jokes everywhere I go |
| I seriously think Mami has Antisocial personality disorder or some shit, and it is so frustrating watching Kazuya still simp over her despite her behaviour that she displays to him. How can some of you people relate to this? At the same time, I feel sorry for Chizuru who is constantly stuck in this runaround. Despite all this, I am still really enjoying this show a lot. |
Have a great day!  |
| Ok, I guess Kazuya has a tiny bit of backbone in him, it's only right for him to stand up to Chizuru, doesn't matter whether she's his actual gf or not. But holy shit, that must be the last bit of balls he has. Classic beach ep! Yaaay! NO Mami is a two-faced bitch and ofc she's trying to break up the seemingly happy couple. Sadistic and an a bitch, but who can stop her beside Kazuya himself? He could stand up to her once so he should be confident enough in the future to either come clean or figure out how much of an asshole Mami is right? Heh... What a joke... He could not even stand up to Mami properly, let alone see through the mixture of her fake act and Kazuya's own delusion of Mami. To top it all off, it really hurts to hear how Chizuru trusts him whilst he is being baited by Mami to 'accidentally' kiss her all alone. I respect Chizuru for keeping up with Kazuya's idiotic lies ut truthfully... The only people I genuinely liked are Kazuya's closest friends. Call them a virgin but they're a homie to actually advise Kazuya to not have sex with her until they both are engaged to one another. That's some bro respect. ED was adorable and all, but I can't get the thought that this whole ED is basically Kazuya imagining these girls in that way whilst jerking off all alone. That last scene when he threw the scrunched up piece o tissue to the bin seals the fact, |

| They really threw that beach episode right at the beginning, did they? As more episodes progress, I'm starting to see that this show is a bit reliant on coincidences. It's not a complete turn-off, but too much would be a bit unhealthy for the show in my opinion. We got to see more of Mami-chan's dark side per se in this episode, which I was very excited to see. She seems to be texting some people who don't hang out in her 'group' at school who know what type of person Mami-chan actually is. The fact that she wants to break them up out of spite leads me to believe that Mami-chan has some sort of insecurity issue, and she wants to be in control of all the boys she dates in order to feel dominant. Poor Kazuya tried to break out of this (probably unknowingly), and he's feeling her wrath now. Props to Chizuru again for sticking with Kazuya's BS again in this episode; she really takes it like a professional. I hope Kazuya grows up soon; it's really aggravating watching him be so desperate. To be honest, I can actually see where he's coming from, but his character just turns up all the little tinges of incel emotion that people have at times. He's essentially the avatar of people's deep, deep, DEEP super-insecurities. Though, seeing it all-encompassing in a single person, just turned all the way up, is just frustrating. |

| Hmmm, somehow I never rated this episode. Lots going on, even though most of the action takes place on the same beach. Naturally accidentally Chizuru is there as well, which becomes a bit a running gag, with all the ridiculous coincidences. Like ending up renting a girlfriend who just happens to live next door, goes to the same college, their grandmothers know each other... need I go on? lol Mami having second thoughts, so it seems, Kazuya growing something of a spine trying to end the situation with all the lies, then his best friend jumps in and basically pushes them back together again. And apparently KanoKari ferries are best to be avoided, as the railings are not tall enough, allowing passengers to fall overboard way too easily. But then again, the ferry is clearly a plot device, as without it, Chizuru and Kazuya would have followed through with 'breaking up' and the story would have gone a different route. Though they might still have ended up getting closer, as they already live next door, but the author probably felt the story needed some life threatening dramatic moment. Not the best episode, but probably one that people will remember. |
| This girl takes off her glasses and they're like ":o IT'S HIS GIRLFRIEND WHO MAGICALLY APPEARED" Is this Hannah Montana? Is she Perry the Platypus? |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Let's go TEAM MAMI, I'm unironically rooting for her to completely break Kazuya lmao |
| I actually can relate to Kazuya...a lot of boys think deep inside them just like him! I still can’t choose which of the girls I like more. Personality Chizuru but looks Mami by far. |
| And here's the usual beach episode. Kazuya boy, just say the truth already and stop being so dumb. Mami is actually the worst. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Kazuya is starting to piss me off. Like, Be a Man for once geez XD Chizuru on that swimsuit looks gorgeous O__O |
| Mami the Evil was making pretty malicious tweets about them. Kazuya could've avoided Chizuru for the entire trip, but no he had to pull her into the bathroom. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Can't be a harem series without a beach episode. I liked it a lot, actually. Chizuru is such an angel. |
 |
| Holy fuck at one point it was like torture AAAAAAAAAAAA the second hand embarassment AAAAAA Still man there are very few shows that make me laugh so hard, this show is great in that aspect. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Kazuya was so annoying this episode... like how dumb can you be? This episode was 50% cringe again. |
| 6:51 For a second, I thought Chizuru was gonna berate him for being an idiot. I'm glad to see her nice side makes her a top-tier waifu! Anyway, she has a point. However, I still prefer moving on instead of just dwelling on an ex & becoming miserable in the process. A month-long relationship with someone like Mami should be forgotten in a heartbeat! 10:02 How come this chick isn't on his radar? she looks nice too. 10:37 You don't. Ever! 14:34 That chick in black is hot! She's another fine option for you, Kazuya. Damn, man, I can't get enough of Chizuru. She's a hottie in that swimsuit! She also looks great in that cheerleader uniform in the ED. |
| Why on earth would anyone like a series where the plot is driven by the protagonist's shitty decisions? Like, it's not even fucking funny. |
 |
| Yeah the MC sucks. He makes me want to drop this anime. We will see. |
 |
| I totally despise Mami-chan, as for Chizuru, she could be a bit less cold hearted, would make the show more interesting, also its a shame the MC is such a snotty guy. |
