| Irina Ilyukhina a.k.a Ilya Ilyukhin is next, and her character is obviously a trap and reverse that onto itself, forced into living not as a girl, but a boy by her father's wish before he died. And how the stayover came about, is due to the cliché raffle prize that ended up with 3 of the girls being lucky to win a stay for 2 each in this somewhat ludicrous inn full of tengu. As you would expect, playing table tennis is once again another cliche, and Mongfa hit it so hard that Asahi got hit so hard as well. Also, the censorship is once again on point...for being so bad, but elevating Ilya's "dick" sure they can get away with it for a "brother bond" moment. The truth is that, Ilya is DEFINITELY a girl, and wherever she goes, Asahi follows as well, with the sauna and hot spring sections being a whole scenario of trying her best to hide her assets. Ilya's memory flops of Asahi, is definitely akin that to a childhood friend. |

| Onsen time with the girls... and yes even Ilya was a girl that got forced to dress up as a boy by her father, but seriously the mask under the towel that was really something I don't know if I should laugh or cry at this point ahahaha |
 |
| Mystery after mystery. Looking at that old lady's height, it's unreal, she is too tall to be real. She is also a different person from the one on the TV. Is she really human? That tengu mask did a great job. Salute! hahahaha Another reason why Aoi is the best girl. |

| So much plot in today's episode (still absolutely inferior compared to manga's visuals though) erito_ said: Now all I wonder is whether when will we get the twist? If this keeps up, episode 5 will be about Karin, and episode 6 about Mongfa, so the twist would be for end of episode 6 or episode 7. Yeah I've posted about this several weeks ago. Chipp12 said: And if it's going to follow the same story as manga it won't be getting any different any time soon so I wonder how many will still be following it by the time grand reveal/twist is going to happen (episode 5/6 the earliest?) |

| Ilya was a girl after all, she's cute and adorable. The d*ck jokes were hilarious. |
 |
| Wait the ep’s over already? This one blew by lmao. Hilarious seeing Ilya trying to use the Tengu mask as a dick. Was really the worst kept secret that she was a girl, but a fun episode nonetheless. |
 |
| Ilya is the spotlight in this episode and lul that was so funny how she pretend to be a boy.xD |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Well played, even I didn't expect that the trap was actually a trap in reverse... lol, the proprietress earlier was actually the Tengu... lol...?! |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Good character development for Iriya, the pace was decent, a fun fanservice type of episode with some story in it. Animation was good, overall; decent episode. 4/5 |

| I really liked Ilya’s character development this episode. Creative use of the mask, destroyed all mens self esteem in seconds. Looks like all the girls will be childhood friends which is a trope I really hate in anime. Let’s see what happens I guess |

| I didn't expect I'll need to hunt for uncensored versions for this anime. I hate those censor stickers too much. Still, I find it funny that they go for "just" risqué shots in one scene and then jump to full nipple view in another. As obvious as it was that Illya is a girl, I have to admit that the fact it wasn't revealed in introduction episode made me lower my guard a bit. I still waited for this reveal, but thought it will happen much later, more in a style that harems add new characters when action gets stale. Either way, I don't mind. And maybe I watched too much Golden Kamuy, but I think this episode was a huge wasted potential for dick jokes. I mean, during back washing scene I sooo expected MC to get freaked out about his ass being in danger. |

| Somehow they went full nipple this episode with barely any censorship compared to the manga. Which begs the question why not the first 3 episodes also had nipples in them, if they're allowed to draw and show them on at-x. Welp whatever this ep was certainly a stepup and a win in my book, hopefully studio passione keeps it up. |

| this episode was a disappointment |

| Parents grooming their own children into Gender Dysphoria is kinda scummy, ngl. We had a lot of quality ecchi this episode, especially beautiful feet shots. But as many people pointed out, it can't compare to manga. |

leonardobarba said: I just found out just after finishing this ep and reading some of the comments here and went and looked but there is an uncensored version of this ep wish i knew that before watch todays ep lolFunny and very good episode. Then, Ilya boy is Irina girl... let her be, adorable both as a boy and as a girl. Why is not the series uncensored? Passione is known for very good ecchi. Waiting for the Blu-ray... |
 |
| I was worried that the famgirl character or whatever you call it might turn out like the one from Haganai. Luckily I was wrong. The episode made me laugh a couple of times. |
| Man, I need that twist soon, after this episode I’m genuinely close to dropping it. I don’t like the show so far at all, but I’m really really hoping the twist changes that. In particular a School Days style twist would be very nice, since I hate these characters. |

| really funny this episode with tengu lol |
| Aha! Reverse trap! I knew it! |
 |
| So there's a uncensored version as well... Interesting! |
WeFeed said: I just found out just after finishing this ep and reading some of the comments here and went and looked but there is an uncensored version of this ep... Thank you. Just rewatched the episode, this time uncensored. Passione's ecchi is high quality and it does not deserve to be wasted because of censorship.  |
| Mene, mene, tekel, parsin |
| So, Ilya turns out to actually be a girl! 😱 The plot… thinens i guess 🫤 |

| Hot springs episodes are definitely great ones for harem romcom anime, this was no exception, really loved this one. First off, I was spoiled about Ilya/Irina being a girl so I wasn’t surprised there, but man the moments with her were hilarious in this one. I knew the second she looked at the mask she would have a constant “erection” the whole time, and of course Asahi is just impressed and intimidated by it lol. We probably got the most amount of fanservice so far in this episode too, definitely a fan of that, looks like there could possibly be an uncensored version too. And after the appearance of the tengu, we have a nice moment between Ilya and Asahi where she decides to stop living as a boy and live as a girl, to which she now goes by Irina, tho I think Ilya was still a good name. I do kinda wish she was an actual guy to shake things up but another waifu is not a bad thing either. And once again we’re shown a flashback, it looks like all these girls knew Asahi before but forgot somehow, and there’s Irina’s dad who is pretty sus because of the location it looked like he was in. They’re definitely drip-feeding us the mystery and I like that, gives us more time for the harem goodness lol. |

| So the femboy was actually a tomboy all along... I love when dudes show their friendship by slapping each other's buts lol This show is way too good for a harem ecchi comedy lol. |
 |
| we wanted gay episode, we got it but at what cost... |
| I am surprised almost 15 mins of dick jokes are fine to air in Japan. lol |
| I dunno why some of you are actually surprised about Ilya's "secret" considering how they've already shown her being all sneaky in male locker room in the very first episode. AcceleratorAngel said: Which begs the question why not the first 3 episodes also had nipples in them, if they're allowed to draw and show them on at-x. Maybe they wanted to reward the true fans who decided to stay even though fanservice got botched. |

| all in all man this was such an enjoyable episode. literally laughed out loud many times. i'm in such disbelief. Ilya is a girl afterall, here i was hoping for some unique twist that a boy is in a harem but well. amelia really needs to start reading some normal books lmao. the whole bath scene with Ilya was just hilarious and then the Tengu imitation by Ilya to top it off. despite the ridiculousness this episode, the ending part with Ilya and Asahi talk was unexpectedly nice. Seeing Ilya acting like she wants to was great to see. and the tengu that appeared at the last, was it that inn proprietress we saw earlier, i mean they suddenly changed the proprietress while showing the inn on TV. 5/5 episode. More people need to watch this anime just for how fun it is. Cute girls, some fan-service, comedy, lot's of entertainment and some bigger plot at play too. what else do you want from an anime? this has a uncensored version? time to wach that. finished it just now and i'll say i'm satisfied with it. i'm going to look for atx version from next week. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| This whole situation with Ilya was hilarious, I hope the series keeps up the comedy from now on cuz tbh I was planning on dropping this series before having watched this last episode. |
| So Ilya was a girl after all, sucks that her father made her act like a boy because he wanted a son but at least she can now be herself. The entirety of this episode was entertaining and yes, there is an AT-X uncensored version but it looks like it starts at this episode from my research (it should've started with episode 1 since Passione is the studio). Also, I noticed that Ilya had a flashback with Asahi and that's happened with 2 other girls so it looks like every girl here has met him in the past. |
 I wonder if the hexagon stuff on the ground is another hint (virtual world?) or just part of the art style. |
