Another one of those beach style episodes. This anime sure love fun, sun, and serving its customers and fanbase.

As their cafe gets more popular, it looks like some news crews took notice. Kinda impressive how much progress they've made to attract their customers. Episode kinda put Riho on the spot and I feel bad for her. Still, it seems the show focuses on a different cast each time in these recent episodes. Riho deserved better.

I mean it’s a good question to ask, Riho and Shiragiku are already in the third year of their college, so I guess it’s time to get serious about getting a full-time job instead of working your ass off in a part-time job lol. But hey Shiragiku already has other plans and we’ll know about them going forward either way, so let things be as it is. 

Anyways Riho is still working the way where she’ll collapse another one of these days, though that’s why you need some breaks in-between, and that’s when our girls hit the beach. A fun outing which kind of ended a tad too quickly..:(  Nevertheless the episode was about getting to know Riho's past, and we started the main thing when a tv show crew arrived at the cafe.

To no one’s surprise she came out to be a former child-actor, a kind of prodigy at that too. Super cheesy backstory mixed with another case of familial problems… again unsurprising lol. She’s just a case of “I want to be needed by someone”. So, yeah dude dealt with her that way, and boom.. she’s again good.

Ouka getting misunderstood never gets old though.

Ouka and Akane were left as rear guard at the shop huh. Ami's voice and mask trick really was fun and a perfect solution to the scum. Hayato literally cannot get away from the ladies. When the cafe is closed no better chance to hit the beach than then. Amusing that the big catch was actually a wild Ami. Riho though had a hell of past though. Looks like the desire for fame for her daughter caused her mom to push too much and end up upsetting the balance. The reality for child stars though is a harsh one as no matter how hard they work they are esentually temp existances if they can't adapt. While surprising to say the least its nice that nothing changed in the bond between the girls. Overall a solid ep that did well to expand upon Riho as a character. Looks like she really is going to be the main girl for Hayato.

Fanservice was on point today lmao probably shouldn’t have watched this on the big screen while my mom was downstairs but whatever, we move.

Riho clearly has a lot of personal trauma and perhaps some abandonment issues that lead to her lashing out and feeling insecure when she feels threatened. In this case, the convo between Akane and MC, since she likes him.

Looking forward to learning what makes her tick next week.

It’s official, this is now a fishing anime, and we’re catching wild Ami today lol. Jokes aside, I enjoyed Riho’s little arc, it was about being a child actor which we’ve seen a bit this season (three other shows for me) and now her overworking makes sense, and I was really happy to see our boy Hayato properly get her to slow down, and similarly to Akane it looks like Riho might start pushing hard for romance with Hayato, and if so I do look forward to it.

I also really enjoyed Ami using her horror masks to scare those guys from before lol, that shit was hilarious, and the references were nice as well, I believe we saw Friday the 13th, It, and Scream, I’m a big horror fan but I’m sure those are easy for anyone to recognize. And lastly I loved the beach part, some high budget fanservice there and some classic toilet humor which you don’t see often in cutesy waifu shows like this, Ami’s perfectly timed prank on Ouka was amazing lol.

Riho makes it seem like she's the type to dream that you cheated on her and get mad at you in the real world, I understand that she likes to feel needed, but spending too much on herself so that people care too much about her I don't think is the right path, it is almost completely clear that this has to do with the lore that was explained to us where she was a child prodigy in acting, her mother overexploited her and her parents ended up divorcing when she began to lose impact, so that the defense system she uses to protect herself from repeating that trauma, is to try harder so they don't abandon her again.
PS: In a few words Akane asked him "I made a song from a letter where she declared to me, do you want me to read it to you?"

Nice to get more about Riho and her past as a child actor, it's sad that she suffered because of all the pressure that her mother put on her :/ That scene where she cried in Hayato's arms was cute. Also Ouka's twin sister in the preview ehe

So Riho's father did abandon her, or rather the family, due to a divorce. I did not realize she was a child actress but that would explain her excellent social skills and customer service. It was funny how she tried to apologize to Hayato a couple times in the beach hut but found him surrounded by girls both times.

I think Riho knows Akane likes Hayato too so I'm guessing she's going to up her game but it's going to be tough and that's without including Kiku whom I'm sure will try something too. When Riho cried in Hayato's arms and said don't go away I was thinking it was to not shut down the cafe but maybe she meant more than that.

Animation low-key gets quite a boost whenever it matters- and I'm don't just mean the fan service. Riho and Hayato's conversation really came alive there.

The best ending for this story would be for NONE of them to end up with Hayato, and for them to simply remain as and grow as a close knit family.

Well, Riho is an enigma, at least to Hayato.

Both Akane and another girl are spared from the seaside beach hut each day for rest, and Riho is the social creature that's as affluent. Ami is the surefire girl to rid of all bad guys, and at least Riho is just playing around with him. The fanservice is just as alluring, and Akane is wanting Hayato to listen to her new song, though Ami is just goofing around like the usual within their short stint of play.

Riho's working too hard to ever take a rest, and Hayato is worried, just as is Shiragiku. A TV crew comes by to film the beach hut, and Riho's history as a child star, she's just like Oshi no Ko's Kana Arima. Working hard to sustain a family to the point of overwork, and then suddenly disappearing because of a familial divorce, she has the makings of a hard-working child that was both a blessing and a curse to her own growing career, and now of her life at Familia that Hayato is thankful for. Everyone knew about her, it's just that they chose not to talk about it.

Riho may once be a child prodigy, but she's family to them now.

Riho's backstory is revealed in the episode.
Her backstory is ultimately similar to Arima Kana from Oshi No Ko, as they probably are from the same trope of 'ex-genius child star'.

Can't wait for the next developments, specially now that Ouka's twin is about to be revealed next episode.

Another very great episode in the beach arc, we get our usual cool ass (pun intended) plans and the light hearted joking vibe of the girls and hayato, they really all got to like him now. Riho background was pretty interesting to see and quite emotional for her, glad that she's happy with her current situation. Only a few episodes left, and a few girls background to see left, overall I am always quite satisfied with this harem, excited for next episode !
I like everything, ok

Pretty nice episode.
Akane being best girl, Riho got a lot of characterization and her backstory is revealed, she even apologized for generic, tsundere bullshit, which is usually unprecedented, blue thing being braindead and causing problems as usual, Shiragiku and Ouka did nothing worth mentioning.
As far as harem standards go, this show is way above average. Most likely because we don't know for sure who is going to win on episode 1.

Fire episode! They must’ve changed the animation style, suddenly all the characters and the way they talk, their hair, and the way they move alongside the ‘camera’ movements are all way more expressive and stylistic.  I also noticed Akane seems to have gotten a redesign, I haven’t read it yet but I believe it looks more like her depiction in the manga. So it seems MBS learned from The Quintessential Quintuplets’ adaptation about being more faithful to the illustrations. It certainly fits, prior Akane looked too mature but now she’s got a rounder face that’s more fitting for a 19 year old (outsourced apparently? I hope they stick to the new designs, however. I think they’re awesome).

Really like how the episode merely hints at what happen with Riho. I don’t think we’ve gotten the full, timeline accurate, version of events but what this has given us in addition to episodes from before, it certainly makes for a sad picture (fitting for a season with Oshi no Ko!). No wonder she seems to have abandonment and ‘useless’ complexes.

The humor too is just on point this episode. Over-the-top, witty, and ironic. Lovely stuff. Can’t wait for next week where we get Ouka focus.

Gave it a 5 because Riho's backstory moved me in a way I don't understand. Maybe I resonate a little with Riho working hard to please others. But this episode was really good. Also, Riho is the only one who gets head pats from Hayato, hmmmmm
