This will be impossible to have a good ending, they gotta make 5 ova where he stays with each one or a harem ending. Especially after getting attached to these characters, it's kinda hard to select only one, now i +/- like them all, but i do have to agree that Nino indeed been climbing the stairs, and she's doing it better than all of them.

I was honestly glad for Ichika but what she did, damn, that was tough, especially with all the opportunities that she had to confess to him, and now she does this? c'mon...

Love this show Nino looking sexy in her cooking clothes Ichika on the offensive it keeps in getting better. Also Yotsuba with less screen time also did someone kiss Fuu-Kun when he was leaving the resort.

I can't believe it. Ichika seriously threw one of her sisters (and that sister being goddamn Miku no less!) under the bus for a guy she knows for barely 6 months.
That was such a bitch move and the fact of screwing one of your sisters' chances with MC is simply too low for me to take it lightly. Seriously, couldn't the author think of something better to discard love suitors? Itsuki is basically a plot device with legs; Yotsuba is having less and less screentime and now Ichika's chances are practically gone because of this lame plot direction.

Goddamn I'm mad. Ichika was literally the only character alongside Miku I liked in season 1. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE RELIABLE, COOL AND FLIRTY ONEE-SAN!

And oh God, I don't even wanna think of the potential misunderstandings this shit will cause...

Nino is dominating now, very strong moves.

Miku second. Ichika falling behind and making desperate moves. Genki Yotsuba and glutton Itsuki are off the radar.

Nino Gang still an unstoppable train, let's fucking go. Prepare your buttcheeks Fu-kun. That flying kiss was so fucking good.

Great episode! But they skipped some important parts I think, I hope they're just saving it for later.

The snek has finally shown herself, Ichika playing mad dirty. Why she gotta do Miku like that. Really looking forward to the next episode.

Why Ichika impersonating Miku is hated so much whereas Miku gets a pass for impersonating Itsuki?

I understand what Ichika did was completely wrong and a low-blow to Miku and she deserves the hate. But I am genuinely curious that why didn’t anyone in the fan-base say a word against Miku when she impersonated Itsuki. Though I’m a Miku fan but what she did as Itsuki telling Futaro to quit, that could have had serious implications. Firstly Futaro must have disliked Itsuki initially because that came out of nowhere. And it could have affected their friendship as well and possibly leading to Futaro to quit as well. So what Miku did was quite wrong in itself. But you don’t hear anyone talking against her. Though she did make up for it apologizing to Itsuki

What Ichika did was way worse. But both the scenarios have some similarities. Miku told Futaro to quit as Itsuki because she couldn’t tell him as herself. Ichika did the same since she didn’t have the courage to confess as herself. Secondly, what Ichika did can be explained in the heat of matter, It was not something pre-planned or she wanted to do but the situation caused her to do so, same with Miku. And I understand Ichika was being selfish here only caring for herself and downplaying Miku, but Miku too was only thinking of herself when telling Futaro to quit and might have downplayed Itsuki as well.

So both the situations can be considered somewhat the same but why is the reaction for Ichika much greater than for Miku?

That was a dirty move, Ichika. She's definitely gonna regret doing that cause it's most certainly gonna backfire at some point. I get that she wants to be special to Futaro but she's screwed over Miku to do it and that's just so wrong.

I'm loving Nino's direct approach with those bold flirty moves! I think it's cool that she doesn't actually want Futaro to answer her confession yet, but for him to get to know her more. As she said; she's been pretty mean to him so it's only fair that he gets to know the real her first.

I’m surprised there are even people who can still call Ichika best girl after this episode smh...she literally lied and undermined her own sister instead of playing up her own appeal like everyone else who’s seriously competing for Fuutarou.

That’s dirty af...


I know right, I mean, I considered Ichika 2nd best girl(losing just for a lil bit to Miku, but that's because of my weird fetish for her character), but with this I don't think I'll do that anymore. That was so wrong and it's bothering me af.

All the girls like Futaro now and its surprising to see that Nino has gone all out… Ichika’s movie was a hit and we saw that she wanted to spend more time with Futaro. The step she took this episode was very bad, she dressed up as Miku and said that Ichika likes Futaro, which he could not distinguish for obvious reasons. There is a big misunderstanding coming up in the later episodes.

Ichika is still my favourite girl. But this is the drama that is needed to give the anime some spice. Its gonna be really boring if there weren't any at all. Plus the plot right now is gonna make people hate ichika which in all honesty wasn't her fault, it was the plot's fault. Thus finishing the manga a while back as well i was quite shocked. But i still love her a lot besides miku ofc...

I gotta say I didn't really like Nino in the first season, but she's growing so fast on me that she's becoming my favorite.
And she looked really cute wearing that uniform!

I'm seeing what people were saying about Ichika, that last scene was really not cool.

Also, why does that Takeda guy exudes so much Pariston energy?

Not gonna lie, didn't really like Nino season one but she is beginning to become my favorite as the series progresses.

Also, Ichika. Why? Although, I respect that you're doing everything you can to win his heart...that last scene was a straight-up bitch move. Not cool.
They should rename her name to Bitchika, it's more fitting. Just kidding.

Now, the question is will Fuutarou be able to see through Ichika's disguise? Probably not but we will see the next episode.

Edit: I just notice that the person above me has almost the exact same first sentence as me. I swear I didn't try to copy him, it was like the first thing that came to mind.

Pretty good episode overall, probably my favorite since ep7

What Ichika did at the end was rough, that was not a good confession. You can tell she was desperate, but still doesn't make it ok to put her sister in the friendzone lmao.

Let me explain, you misunderstood when Miku disguised as Itsuk to inform Fu-Kun to quit being a tutor. She said that to Fu- Kun because she has a crush and knows Ichika feels the same (not sure about other girls of the time). Miku knows Fu-Kun is a thickhead when it comes to romance as there was hints from previous episodes and that she does not want a tutor/student relationship but romance one.

Here comes the Ichika part which I will explain why she is hated. She is not hated of disgusiing as Miku. If Ichika disguised as Miku and said "Ichika likes you" then I am not really that bothered as much,maybe a tiny bit. The biggest problem is Ichika disguised as Miku said "Ichika likes you and I support both of you". That is just playing dirty and used Miku as a stepping stone to increases the chances of Ichika x Fu-Kun relationship. Fu-Kun may have some feelings for Miku but now that Ichika said that, he will assume Miku didnt have a crush for him and sees Miku as a support for their relationship. Can you imagine if Ichika done that for the other girls, then its just a matter of Ichika being the only option and Fu-Kun which increases her chance. I hope you undestand as it was something that has frustrated me after watching episode 9.

Why would any of this even matter? If Futaru actually liked her he would just confess to her himself. It shouldn't matter what girls confess to him. Futarou is the MAN, therefore it is HIS job to confess to anyone he likes, not the sisters.

Hot take: Futaru is a fuckhead that doesn't deserve ANY of them. We have no reason to give a fuck about this guy or his love life and all of the girls should just move on from their pathetic crush and move on to someone that is actually a quality male. The idiot didn't even have the ring on him in the wedding because he is just that much of a fuckup.

@the_Krsd, As of episode 9, all the girls are rushing to win Fu-Kun's heart.All girls was playing fair and square until Ichika played it dirty as I mentioned above to why she is hated for the last scene. I understand what you mean but that is typical generic shounen,rom-com,harem character for you. the generic male MC is usually thickheaded and does not know when a girl has a crush on him/not. This is why the girls are stepping up the game instead.


The only one Fu-Kun will confess is the girl of his childhood. I have not read the manga but thats the most likely case. Since you can tell from season 1 ending scene. If we had a sensible male MC and he can tell which girl likes him then the series would of ended in 1 season or earlier. That being said, I like Fu-Kun , he is still a better Male MC than 80% of the similar type of characters from similar genre series. Examples: Ichika from Infinite Stratos & Kazuya from Rental Girlfriend.

And here's the part where people started Ichika. But I don't care. All is fair in love and war. Sure that was underhanded but can you blame her? Everyone has something they're good at and Ichika is an expert in this kind of thing. She took advantage of Miku's inability to confess to Fuutaro and used it against her. Ichika is by far one of the most interesting characters among the quints.

I don't hate that she cucked Miku and threw her under the bus, no. What I don't like is how this is slowly destroying the relationship that they tried to protect. They promised to always be together and never broke it. Ichika even insisted on paying for the rent herself so they don't have to. She cheered Miku on... and immediately destroyed it. As a character she's great but as a person, I don't know.

I guess Ichika really took all that advice to heart, she's going what she wants and apparently that's playing damn dirty by pretending to be Miku- especially given that last comment of "I'm rooting for you two."

I imagine we'll see some conflict like never before once this gets out. Consider me hooked!
