Even though Nagi and the others are back from their trip, it seems he still has a lot on his mind.

Not going to lie, this episode felt kinda strange seeing Nagi hanging out with everyone, and even more weird seeing Hiro playing a video game. Glad to see that he's still getting along with Erika in the end.

I just went to go watch this episode on crunchyroll and there are no subtitles. Is anyone having that same problem? Subtitles are working properly for all my other shows, it’s weird.

Great episode! Segawa tells Nagi she feels Sachi is in love with him...
Sachi is angry she told him that. Though she can't deny it exactly xD.
Meanwhile, Nagi has become one with nature! Erika enters the bath alongside him!
When Nagi stands up, she recognises he is naked! It seems she is wearing a swimsuit lol.
They decide sleeping arrangements for the night and Segawa suggests drawing numbers.
It seems Nagi is sleeping with Sachi!
Erika and Segawa are playing twister.
Segawa hasn't ever met her fiancee before...
She asks Erika if she isn't interested in Nagi if she can have him!
But before Erika can say anything, Segawa is asleep!
Nagi is having trouble sleeping and Sachi also isn't sleeping either.
The next day, Erika remembers that she was once in this place with her brother.
The twister game and bubble bath seem to be fairly new and Nagi suggests searching for more clues of her brother in the house.
The Mario Bros rip off game looked funny lol. Erika notices the save data was updated 3 days ago!
Nagi runs off but Erika stops him and tells him not to try find her brother!
She is scared of not knowing how to face him if she sees him.
Nagi pulls her back and says when she sees him he will be with her.
They then go around asking people if they have seen someone who resembles her brother for a while.
Unfortunately, no one seems to have seen him though...

Looking forward to the next episode!

This brother plot is so misleading that even an ounce of thought is enough to corrupt the functioning of braincells. Anyways not like they got any results.

Just a week more and finally we'll be over with this.

Man, Hiro is playing on Sachi's emotions by telling her that she may have feelings for Nagi, but this could bring about repercussions if went ahead.

Then again, Nagi and Erika naked in the same bath? Who would've thought lols? But it's actually just Nagi whom's gone completely naked and Erika is at least clothed in her swimsuit. And there's 2 beds in the vacation house, and the siblings share one bed together, while both Hiro and Erika indulge in the amenities given. On the topic of Nagi, it looks like Hiro isn't gonna play nice, and especially to Erika if she's not interested in him that she would take him instead. On Sachi's side, aside from the cramped space that Nagi got, it's clear that she was frazzled.

Erika was definitely sure that her older brother Sosuke was around, and both the game and bubble mix are clues to it. But the game console was the one that affirmed her suspicions, and despite Nagi going out of his way to help her, she feels terrified if she were to see him for the first time in a long while, which they didn't manage to.

The 1-hr finale next week, and will humble myself to see how this ends.

Hmm while Hiro moving ahead with her plans was one that caught Sachi out Hiro's reasoning did make sense. Relationships are things that are always in flux after all. That outdoor bath though had such a perfect view of the sea. Though spiders are creepy that was one hell of a summary that Nagi provided. Nice bonding moment between Hiro and Erika though. Given recent events its a given that neither Nagi or Sachi will get any sleep when next to each other. The conflicting feelings that Erika has really is making her search that much more complicated. Curious whether will will actually meet him though.

Things are realllly getting spicy. I love Hiro but it’s messed up how she snitched on sachi like that. That’s something that sachi should have been able to come out with when she’s ready

I do like how Hiro is trying to position herself as the closest to Nagi, getting sachi and Erika out the way. “Is it ok if I have Nagi then” loving the bold energy.

“No relationship stays the same forever” was really the theme of the episode and probably going to be the main theme going forward. Hiro realises her feelings, Sachi is starting to accept hers and want more, Nagi is starting to see Erika as more than a roommate, etc. I can’t wait to see the hour long finale next week.

“I’ll go with you to meet him” how can you go meet yourself silly, lol. I’m definitely seeing the nisekoi parallels now. It had never occurred to me that Hiro fiancé could be Nagi, no idea how I missed that.

Hiro is going full manipulative mode, playing mind games with the other girls to get what she wants. She’s obviously the smartest but also the least likable. Well I guess for us anime-onlys, some big bombs are going to drop in next week’s finale.

She didn't "snitch" anything she made an educated guess. And a really obvious one, too. That isn't snitching.

She did snitch because she told Nagi. It would be an educated guess if she just kept that to herself. I see you getting upset with anyone who dare criticise your waifu in the comments based on your response to me and the other dude. Learn what “snitching” means before commenting on my posts.

I don't know if the anime cut it, but in the manga she just said that it "seemed" like Sachi had feelings for Nagi. Not anything concrete. "Seemed". If I tell someone that it "seems" a person likes them, that's not snitching. I'm not revealing anything I know to be true or have been told to keep secret. I'm providing my own insight into what I observe. It's not like Sachi said "I like Nagi don't tell him" or even "I like Nagi". She refuses to even accept that she HAS feelings. Why is Hiro under any obligation to not share that it seems like Nagi's little sister likes him? You don't think that would be information that an older brother might want to know, that it looks like his little sister has feelings for him? If, for no other reason than to nip it in the bud before they develop too far?

And yes I will defend Hiro, because so many people here seem to twist everything she does into being manipulative or shady without any justification while giving Sachi and Erika a pass on their terrible behavior.

Out of the main cast, Erika is the only one that even has a slight chance at being likeable (Nagi is a close second, but Erika more so). I may be biased, but every week is just a reminder of how much I dislike Hiro and Sachi.

Hiro went on the offensive today, asking Erika and Sachi if she could have Nagi for herself. Hoping that there is more progression in the next few episodes so we can have a satisfying finale.

Finally a good episode. Been so long.

Hiro has started to sabotage now, trying to get Nagi all to himself even though there's no way she can actually be with him. Her telling Nagi that Sachi might have crush on him was not cool, Sachi should at least have a chance to confess.

These "comedic" scenes involving Nagi are more cringe than comedy to be honest.

The outside bath scene seemed so sus until we realise Erica is in swisuit and it's only Nagi who's naked and getting ideas hahah.

Sachi was complaining but internally she must have been happy lol, I mean this was the first time they slept in the same room since Nagi moved out from his parent's home.

Hiro is not shying away from making Erica and Sachi know that she's after Nagi, she's the most aggressive one among them but it's of no use really. I still don't like her. Erica still seems like the best choice for Nagi.

And finally they are close to finding the older brother, just 2 episodes left. They better give a conclusive ending what all loose ends tied and everything taken care of as they have dragged this for too long. If they end this on a cliffhanger I'm gonna rate this so low.

This episode was an improvement from the episodes we have been getting for the past few weeks, not a single boring part, huge improvement.

5/5.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

I liked this episode but with the last episode approaching I'm concerned that we won't get proper closure. I agree with TsutanaiFuun that Sachi was probably secretly enjoying sleeping with Nagi in the same bed lol.

I do like Hiro's more aggressive nature in the last few episodes but she did kind of try sabotaging Sachi by telling Nagi about her feelings but Sachi also tried sabotaging Hiro by inviting her to their house so they're kind of even lol (It may be entertaining if they got into a catfight while Erika makes a move).

Anyways, the secret brother angle is a bit annoying and whose to say the items weren't planted by Nagi's biological father to mess with their heads. If this ends in a cliffhanger I will rate it lower...

I'm confused. I was pretty sure that Sosuke and Nagi were one and the same, but the height markings make it clear Sosuke did exist (and from the height difference is a few years older) and looks like he was at the vacation home a few days before, although that could be the dad playing tricks, maybe.

Segawa seems to be the only person who understands how they all feel. She's clued onto the fact that Sachi and Erika have feelings for Nagi, but also asked Erika "if you're not interested can I have Nagi" showing she is interested in him. Personally i don't mind Segawa being more forward, it's clear Nagi has liked her for ages so it's not like she's forcing him. If she likes him more power to the girl for going after what she wants, especially given that Nagi is engaged and she has the whole shrine thing to deal with. Taking fate into your own hands is admirable. That said i like Sachi out of the 3 of them, mostly because of her cute char design, not because she's a little sister.

I also thought Segawa was engaged to the shrine, that's what she told Nagi earlier on in the show, but she talked about a person with Erika saying she hadn't met him.

Now I'm wondering if Sosuke has become a priest and that's why Nagi's dad says he only has one son, can priests not inherit or something, or is Sosuke the one who's engaged to Segawa, that would be a good twist. I've seen people say Nagi could be Segawa's finacee, but how could that be given Nagi's parents agreed to match him with Erika?

I can't see this all getting resolved in the last double length episode, so really hope we get a S2. This has been a top level trashy rom-com (any show where I'm here on the episode discussions shows me I'm quite invested, and looking up theories on google to see what happens in the manga. I only do that if i like a show), only Girlfriend Girlfriend has been better.

Nagi’s nude jacuzzi bit was great, and they really got us by making us think Erika hopped in nude too lol, Erika got a face full of Nagi ass as a result lol. And Sachi confronting Segawa on why she told Nagi that she loves him was interesting, and it is true that relationships generally don’t stay the same, it definitely makes sense that she’d change her mind. I also really enjoyed Segawa and Erika goofing around together playing “twisty” and taking a giant bubble bath, I would like to be visited by the bubble monster lol. Things got a bit serious tho when they were chilling on the bed and Segawa asks if she can have Nagi since Erika isn’t interested in her engagement like she says, which is once again a valid thing to say giving what Erika has said.

Later we start getting more clues on Erika’s brother, and it looks like he was just at the vacation house a few days prior because of a save file on a game, and Erika also starts to notice she’s been forgetting things she shouldn’t be forgetting, definitely helps the Hotel King memory wipe theory. After looking around the town for a while with no luck, we get a wholesome moment between Erika and Nagi on the beach once again, beaches bring us all closer together lol. Also loved Nagi’s onee-chan Segawa fantasy, that rocked.

And I know there’s two episodes left but I’ve heard that next week is a double airing, if so I’ll say this has been a really damn good Romcom imo, just really loved this one all the way through.

Yes, Hiro told Nagi that Sachi might have feelings for him. Nagi got into the jacuzzi and after a while Erika came in, the thing is that she was in a bathing suit and Nagi was naked xd. After choosing who to sleep with, Hiro told Erika something regarding Nagi, hmm. We see that they were going to play Wii xd, and there was a saved game before they arrived, and it may be from Sousuke, Nagi's brother. Nagi went to look for it together with Erika, but they didn't find it.
It looks like the next chapter will be 1 hour long, which will probably be separated into 2 chapters. Let's see how it will end.

Here, many images xd

How is she toxic? Specifically. So far she seems to be doing the best she can given her circumstances.
