An excellent first bit of the episode, first watching horror movies in good ol spooky month fashion (sadly the two of them aren’t into it lol) and then a blackout which gives us some amazing scenes between Watanabe and Jirou paired with some nice fanservice too.

I also loved Sakurazaka’s bit in this one, we got some backstory on her and Jirou from both their perspectives, and learned Sakurazaka is definitely into Jirou and not just a childhood friend leading him on, I’m excited to see where these developments go. It’s also making it hard to pick a best girl lol, I think I might be team Sakurazaka but I can’t say for sure yet, and I also loved the OP, it’s a great one for sure.

I also do not stand with the RaG slander in this thread, I’m a big fan of that series and this one is making me a fan as we speak lol.

Akari is a 5/5 wife. Jirou needs not looking further.

the anime seems pretty fast-paced imo, are they skipping stuff from the manga?

Yes a lot, I recommend you start the manga from the 4th chapter. The manga is very well written and wholesome, the anime adaption was complete garbage this ep.

In reality, both Akari and Shiori want 'virgin-kun' Jirou and poor Tenjin ends up with no-one xD

I love how the show tries so hard to convince me that Akari is not the main female lead and that Shion still has a chance lol. Also, only it seems to me that the red-haired friend of the last is lesbian? Usually when a girly female character has an "overprotective" tomboy BFF, you're bound to get a one-sided yuri subplot at some point.

Ep 2 and Watanabe starts having feelings for Jirou. Already? Things are proceeding a bit too fast, I was hoping for some quarrels and juicy skirmish before they started taking interest in each other, but the show is quite good and enjoyable, so let's see what's next


Yep. Logically, this should repeat Koi to Uso, but we can already see how both protagonists are literally attracted to each other.

If we don't get a lesbian redhead out of nowhere, then I can bet Shion will end up with this blond hottie in the end.

This anime is about points, it all depends on points. I do like the art though, even if its too much sometimes.

Seeing Akari & Jirou both on rank E really surprised me, I really thought they were higher.

Interesting to see about their past, Shiori & Jirou were best friends since school but Jirou wanted to confess to her on the bench it seems like.

Shiori going in for that kiss but stopped since she thinks its wrong to do because of the point system or whatever.

I feel like Akari is also getting feelings for Jirou, i wonder if this will play out like 2 women against 1 male.

Well Interesting to see where this'll go.

That was a pretty good episode, but we got another off-screen kiss scene.

Overall I'm really enjoying this so far.

By off-screen you mean it happened?

Because i saw that Shiori stopped halfway and backed out because she thinks its not good for her or something like that.

Early on in this episode it looked like Shiori had friend-zoned Jirou when they were sitting on the bench back in middle school but she did not get to finish what she was saying which looks like it was going to lead to a confession. It may be too late though since Akari looks like she's developing feelings towards Jirou and likewise for Jirou towards Akari. I'm leaning slightly more towards Akari as being the better girl as she did ask Shiori to take care of Jirou and they have already shared the first kiss, but we'll see how this turns out.

The episode is pulling my heartstrings. I have never read the manga so my expectation about this show is that it'd be a bit like RAG but so far, EP 2, already has a lot of feels. My heart and stomach ache everytime for Jirou and Akari. I love it. The anime is surprisingly interesting and Akari is so cute! She reminds me of Marin from My Dress up Darling. I don't mind the vibrant colors and the trope.❤️

I don't like the vibe the anime gives me, we get a guy (a beta character in my opinion) who likes a girl and she like him back but both to shy to confess to each other (if they confess than the series would end with a happy ending but NOOOO), than there's the second girl which throughout the series the guy going to develop feeling for and vice versa and it going to end in three ways

1.Both girls like him and nothing happens and then there is a second season where nothing happens again

2.The guy confess to the second girl and the first get a bad ending

3.The guy confess to the first girl and the second girl which developed feelings get a bad ending

So we get nothing/bad ending/bad ending
Feels pretty lackster to me

(The best option in this case in my opinion is harem but it won't happen)

In my experience I think the first option will happen


Of course if the series could prove me wrong that will be great

So much better this episode! It's wonderful beyond any of my imagination that they would totally ignore the NTR bastard and focus on the main guy instead, great! Definitely look forward to watch more of this after this episode and I sure hope they keep going the way it is now, this would be close to a 10/10 for me if they go this way till the very end. Woohoo!

Question is when the power went out why didn't the camera and point scorer go out too? Was this actually a test from the school?

This whole surveillance-based scoring system does feel like the faculty's just trying to 'amuse' themselves at their students' expense >_> This romcom would be pretty basic without that Orwellian/Stepford nightmare premise. Honestly, I half-expected the scorer to dock points from Jirou for "infidelity" when Shiori came over.

Though given that last scene with the redhead thinking about Shiori, I do have some hopes that this story might not be completely heteronormative.

I am kinda compelled by the childhood friends who both never confessed and keep misinterpreting each other, moreso than the 'normie+gyaru' odd couple schtick. Kitagawa and Gojo these two are not.

This is that teenage fever dream shit lol, some amazing cliches and quick progression in this story so far, a bit trashy, but entertaining nonetheless. Again, I swear I've read a doujin or two with the exact same plot lmao

We're only 2 episodes in so far, and Akari has already moved on from Minami, let's go. She's really growing on me already. Plus uhh, she's hot as hell.

Honestly can't believe people are comparing Jirou with Kazuya, it's not even close. Jirou has self esteem issues yes, but he's not even remotely close to being as annoying as Kazuya. I mean, man just kissed Akari last episode and comforted her this episode and we're only 2 episodes in.

Well then, this is gonna be a painful love triangle. Looking forward to the next episode.

Man, I miss all these feelings when I was a kid.

Fumbling over each other, getting flustered by mere words, and getting embarrassed. Sounds silly, but once you turn 30, you'll miss being a teenager falling in love for the first time.

Anybody else think that the voice acting on Jirou isn't all that good? I don't understand Japanese and even I can tell that Jirou's voice sounds so unnatural with how overly exaggerated his expressions sound.

I'm guessing it will, but I hope the series ends with MC x Watanabe. I like it better than MC x Sakurazaka at the moment. It'd be nice if the show was just about the evolving relationship between the two, but I know that there is gonna be unfortunate drama later on. Best case scenario, we get a Toradora like situation. Worst case scenario, we get either a KanoKari-esque scenario, or a NTR-esque scenario (I know it not technically NTR, but it could definitely feel like one).

Shiori really wants to be with the mc, and so does he, really curious if they will actually swap partners considering that Watanabe may not want to when they get there.

Bueno, que puedo decir más que F por Akari, no sé si realmente quiere estar con él, pero parece que sus sentimientos si, y que Shiori tenga la mejor suerte del mundo para estar con la persona que realmente quiere, todo un joya anda Jirou, esperemos todo salga bien

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WITH SHIORI BEING INTERESTED IN JIROU ALL THIS TIME??? HOLY FUCK, this truly broke my heart it was a misunderstanding from him that ended up hurting her while they could be a very cute couple all this time, i'm cheering for them but i'm curious on how will Jirou and Watanabe relationship develop
