Well, I'll be damned. This show has its outdoors episode away from the crowded school after all. And plus, Wataru has a girl who is very interested in him now.

Summer vacation also means the beach so this episode had its fair use of fan service. They should have more of these outdoor episodes tbh, away from all the school drama.

This episode is the most fun I had with the series so far. Didn't see it coming that Sasaki was a middle schooler lol. Thankfully we didn't see a big drama or anything near the end, was afraid it would go that route if she spotted him. The little sister is so cute.

That looked like a date and it was nice to see them have fun with everything the did tho i was surprised that Sasaki was younger than i thought.
I thought Natsukawa would run into them but it didn't happen tho she did see them even if she was doubting it was actually the case.

Anyway i hope she will like the birthday present.

I'm enjoying this series way too much^^ 

Sajous inner monologues reacting to the "college girl's" behaviour was so entertaining to watch.

Has anyone read the light novel? I keep hearing that this was anime only and is going differently from the LN content.

Nice episode regardless.

I honestly didn't expect Sasaki to be in middle school. The goofball actually thought she was a college student. Her explanation about still wearing elementary school clothes makes more sense now.

Aika's younger sister is incredibly endearing, such an adorable little child. I was almost sure they would run into Sajo and create a big scene, but I'm relieved that didn't occur. I'm also pleased that it appears Sajo and Sasaki are just friends, even though she does seem to harbor a slight crush on him.

It is very different. They cut the most important event from volume 2. And now volume 3 was supposed to start, but this episode is a mix of a volume 4 extra and filler. And sasaki's revelation should have happened at the end of volume 3 on the middle school visit to wataru's school that was mentioned in the last episode. 
They destroyed all of Aika's development. I have no idea what will happen from now on, maybe they'll skip to volume 4 already.

Definitely didn't expect her to be middle schooler xD I don't really know how much apart they are in age, but i think 1 or 2 years difference isn't that much. and they can wait for her to be in highschool.

Man so far i've been really loving this show because it has such a pretty design. Reminds me of toradora especially because of the tsundere main female character and love triangle going on. Things are going to get complicated now... a boy that loves a girl from a distance but rizzes up another girl that's nicer but still young??

*insert “She’s 12?!!” meme* best episode so far. Very little Natsukawa and a lot of best girl sasaki so we ate good.

I like that this was kind of a unique spin on the beach episode trope, instead of it being with the main girl it’s one of the side girls and we only see Natsukawa bikini at the end lol. The best episodes of this are when they focus on the other girls.

Honestly, no idea why Sajo is still buying gifts for and simping for Natsukawa when he’s got someone who likes him, is kinder, more chill and cuter right in front of him 🤦🏽‍♂️ anime MC logic. Yea it’s surprising that she’s in middle school, but there’s only like a year or so difference between he and her.

The show’s got really good over the last 4 episodes or so. May have to read the LN lol I like it a lot more than I thought I would originally.

Half of this episode (all the scenes with Aika and Kei) is anime original. And even the other half which adapts volume 4 extra chapters are heavily modified.
Tbh the difference between the LN and the anime is night and day. The LN is about thoughts and feelings of the characters while the anime is about...cute girls I guess.

I knew she wasn't in college but wasn't expecting middle school and thought she was a high schooler. But well she'll be in high school soon anyway. Also wtf why didn't Aika meet Sajo with Fuuka, I was waiting for that to happen the entire episode. Disappointed af that it didn't happen.

She's a middle schooler??? Omg my image of her is breaking😅!! I've now met two waifus who look nothing like their age. I know she's not real, but as an adult, I feel guilty to be attracted by her. I need a girlfriend!

Guess it does make sense now seeing her childish attitude, but that's a bit common for older girls. Even mature women have a cute childish side😅. Hmm guess I can't blame Wataru for giving Aika a birthday gift, sure he might've given up on her, but because of his one-sided love, he improved on himself to be someone better. Now I wonder if Fuka Sasaki will now fall in love with Wataru, I feel like that's what she was trying to say in the bus. She may be younger, but she could stand a chance... maybe🤔.

As others have said, the parts with Aika are anime original, but i think this part is from volume 9 (unreleased) because some of the art for vol 9 show them at the beach.

so maybe it was the subtitles were wrong but sasaki said she is in 3rd year of middle school so that would be only a year younger than sajo and he was acting like she was a little kid, a year is nothing so I think it was the subtitles were wrong.

I would've like that they see him with sasaki so that would suprise them and that sajo can find another girl.

Nooooo!! I bet someone's calling FBI on me now :D That was a trap! everyone who loved previous Episode run for your lives! :D
hahahaha

Too bad Aika didn't notice Wataru and Fuuka together at least on that photo :D her little sis knows Wataru so she should call out to girls to look at it ;d It was so obvious they would meet, but then they didn't?! kinda waste.. Aika would be so jealous, actually steaming with jealousy :D

Still if Fuuka is 15 he can go for her :D Don't waste this chance BRO!! Like I did ;(

I don't think there's any art for volume 9 yet, nor a date. As far as I know, the new WN chapters have nothing to do with the beach, just tension related to the V8 incident

I think it could work still. Imo, it makes more sense for Sajo to hang with these other girls, before patching up with Natsukawa, instead of after. The rearrangement could improve the pacing

Does not make sense. The relationship with Aika gradually improves. There should be several events that improve their relationship. So far it hasn't. Aika seems like a secondary character in the anime, even though in LN she has 30% of the POV.

That's what I'm saying. If they put all scenes where the relationship between them gradually improves in one continuous flow of episodes, instead of doing these other girls in the middle of these events, the pacing could be better.

Another high school girl who looks so much older, where have I seen this before? (cough cough my dress up darling cough cough). xddd

Please, I just want Natsukawa to notice that there is a girl behind Sajo, it's my new wet dream, to see how the tsundere suffers, please xd

It seems that Sajo won't stop being a simp for a while, personally I think Fuuka is much better than Natsukawa ._.

Sajo is on an actual trip with Fuuka to an crafts shop at the beach, almost looks like a date. Fuuka is really wants to get close each time it seems like.

Aika, Kei & Airi are also headed to the beach and wanted to invite Sajo but they assume that he's at his part-time job. Sajo wants to make something for Aika's birthday. Aika & the rest also go to the crafts shop and there Airi spots Sajo & Fuuka in a picture but doesn't say anything. Sajo almost got caught red handed by Aika lol.

I feel like the relationship between Sajo & Fuuka is gonna get closer.

Sasaki is pretty cute and she does give off pretty mature vibes, though as annoying as Aika can be I'd rather see Wataru wind up with her than Sasaki just because it seems more satisfying for a long time love to come to fruition.

I’m pretty sure it’s 1st year of high school plus he talked with his sister and Shinomiya about student council stuff which makes it seem he’s gonna be a 2nd year in high school the next year
