| I swear, Saki Saki overreacts to just about anything. Shiro still had her academic intellect and personality at school. Got to see how they met in the past. Turns out, Shiro has to live with Naoya for the moment. Shino and Naoya's chemisty is cute imo. Since we're going to see a lot more of her, there should be more chances for them to bond. The misunderstandings...LOL |
 |
| And the inevitable happened.. Shino has shifted into the harem house too. And moreover, we got a much needed Shino backstory too, or more like how she met Saki and Naoya. I liked how Saki always had a screw loose, I mean who in the world comments about how cute someone’s small boobs are and subsequently gets a brutal slam from them just on their first meeting lol. But Shino and Saki are good friends, and it was that way when Shino first met Naoya too… goes without saying fell for him too in due time. Always a fan of just how honest Naoya is, dude literally admits he has seen a girl partially naked, unintentionally, just like that lmaooo. Kind of tells why Shino likes him too, even if we ignore harem logic. Though talking about logic, had me dying when Shino told she was plucking out Naoya’s nose hair when Saki caught her red-handed in an attempt to kiss Naoya, and moreover Saki easily believing the same lol. Saki’s dumb af. By the way, the highlight has to be when it again WENT INSIDE Shino lol, and that follows up with a complete 4K view of that white ass for Naoya. Though it was censored:(, for obvious reasons. Anyways, it'll take some time but Shino will get accustomed to Nagisa, and the way this harem works. |
 |
| I've always wondered this since S1 but why did Naoya accept Nagisa yet decline Rika? They both love him and do their best to get his affection yet Naoya continuously rejects Rika and won't let go of Nagisa with the two-timing... There are other things that Naoya's guilty of being a hypocrite about but this is my biggest gripe of this anime. Literally just harem it like 100 girlfriends and I would instantaneously enjoy this a lot more. |
 |
| Really enjoyed learning how Saki and Shino first met and became friends and now that Shino has joined the house its going to be interesting to see how things develop |
| The story of Saki and Shino, the former is just like the screw loose she is now, and the latter has always been the high achiever that she is. Despite having the bodies of washboards, Saki always found a way to irritate Shino by having fun with her, which the friendship continued to this day. Where Naoya came in was a month after that as he confessed to Saki, but Shino found him to be the interesting guy while he fools around with Saki, with a genuine heart that he wants to date Saki. So then, Shino has to be put up with Naoya's antics, which he acts the same way of being honest and all, to the point that Shino developed an affection for him. Oh dear Naoya, Shino ended up falling for you, and two-timing both Saki and Shino would be best, but of course, Shino could oonly watch on the sidelines...and feel like her love for him isn't reciprocated enough. Welp, Shino was almost caught by Saki kissing Naoya, but thanks to her dumbness, she's in the clear. But Naoya's honestly sure works out for him somehow in the lewdest of ways to ridiculous fanfare. Just admit it Shino, you cannot live without Naoya, and Saki would get it sooner or later. A welcome party for Shino to approve of the two-timing relationship, they sure fed her enough to make their point, even more so for Minase because she's been improving her cooking skills to impress Naoya. And the two-timing apparition business will not stop then and there...which just stresses Shino's point to end this farce once and for all. The lengths to stop the two-timing, good luck Shino, you're gonna need it... |
 |
| The OP had no business slapping that hard (or is my taste garbage?) Yeah, Saki's full name is literally Saki Saki lol Shino best girl. I hope they all can get together. I'm losing brain cells whenever I'm watching this and I'm enjoying it! |
 |
| It's in again! How to get close to a girl, say she has small boobs lol. Saki saki is too much sometimes. Also appreciate more Shino fanservice. |
 |
| there's an awful cut at around 19:08, is it this way for everyone? |
 |
| I don't know why, but for some reason I'm enjoying this way more than I did in Season 1. Maybe my tastes have changed a bit since then, because, man I'm coming around on this absolute peak cringe. This and 100 GFs airing in the same season, we're blessed with too much cringe. Perfect episode, no Rika, and mostly Shino and Saki stupidity, which is great. Naoya is so honest about everything it's just hilarious. |
| I love this series so much that I don't even know where to start. Shino is super cute. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| To have her naked and on top of you in the bathroom.... Well this was another episode of Peak Season 2 hoping to add more ladies to the harem asap |
 |
Reply to erikkamirs
The worse part is that Shino probably could have gotten that sweet Mukai action if she was brave enough to seduce him in middle school lmaooooo.
| @erikkamirs Don't worry, there's gonna be more lucky pervert moments for her. lmao |
| Yeah, sorry lads, but this show blows 100 Girlfriends out of the water for me, I’ll take our boy Naoya actually rizzing up 4 babes over having them handed to him. With that out of the way, this was a banger episode for Shino fans, of which I’m starting to see the light lol, she didn’t have a lot of screentime in Season 1 but now that she is I can see her becoming my favorite. Really loved the flashback bits where we saw how she originally started having feelings for Naoya and helped him get together with Saki, that scene in the dressing room was both cute and hilarious. And back in the present, Shino nearly got caught in 4K trying to smooch up Naoya to “move on”, too bad Saki ain’t too bright in situations like this lol. And when I thought things couldn’t get more wild, the bathroom scene happened and Naoya probably knows every square inch of Shino’s body now lol, she has been nude so much now. And despite Nagisa’s efforts to win over Shino, it looks like she still has a long way to go, but I can see the seeds have already been planted for Shino to eventually grow to like her, it’s only a matter of time imo. Also loved the little snippets of Milika and her sister, they were only ad break cards but they were good lol. |
| LETS GOOO. Finally Shino arc is here. So excited. Best girl for sure. I know everyone is super hype for Hyakukano, but I’m actually more excited for the kanokano harem to get going at full steam. May only be 4 girls, but damn they’re great. Saki’s personality is super consistent lmao. She’s been an idiot from the day she and Shino met. That intro scene actually shows why she and Naoya make a good couple. Both are extremely honest to their detriment and can’t help but say the first thing on their mind. Can’t believe I just realised the similarities between both of their first meetings with Shino. Shino, you can’t help who you love! He’s got 2 girlfriends, a third won’t hurt lmao. Arguably my fave Kanokano episode. |

| Let the reign of Shino begin! I am all here for it. |
| I love how absolutely stupid every character is except Shino. It makes for such a funny show with such stupid interactions. I’m hoping we see more rika next episode she’s my favourite and she’s so over the top it’s hilarious. I accidentally spoiled myself on how the manga ends from a slideshow on tik tok so I really hope they decide to animate the rest of the manga. The ending was very surprising but it makes me curious to see how the rest of this show plays out. |
| shino is so mid, give minase this precious screentime instead. |
 |
| We gonna start ramping up the good stuff now Let's go Shinobros. |
| Hold up, I noticed that when Shino was helping Naoya pick a gift out for Saki Naoya got Shino a purple bow as a thank you gift and I've seen Shino wearing a purple bow so now I'm wondering if that's the same bow... I really thought that Shino would keep her composure and not make moves towards Naoya but this episode showed that is not the case. Luckily for Shino Saki is pretty dumb and so is Nagisa for that matter lol (shoot even Rika is dumb as well lol). I think Shino's plan to break up the two-timing will backfire, and spectacularly probably. Almost forgot, Saki's comment to Shino that "We washboards have to stick together!" was hilarious, lol! |
| I was a bit iffy on the first episode but this one was literally peak comedy. Rie Takahashi is carrying 2023 ngl with Tomo, Yuzuriha and Saki |
| another lovely episode. i'm glad this is my replacement for rent a gf on saturday mornings. it became even more apparent just how much shino loves him as well. just like the others her love isn't superficial either, she fell for his qualities and personality. i think she deserves to be with him as much as the others but again it is all complicated with the my-best-friends-loves-him-too like many other animes. usually the short-haired girls end up giving up and seems like it will be the case for this anime as well. from the start i've been thinking that sakisaki will be the one to get chosen at the end if they decide against polygamy and go for a monogamous relationship in the future. it was great to see how sakisaki and shino met. really liked how sakisaki didn't hesitate to approach and be friends with her even after being given that heavy speech at the basket ball court. i audibly gasped when sakisaki caught shino trying to kiss naoya. really glad she's dumb but even how she is it feels like she's about to catchup on shino's feelings. my man again caught the full view and feel as well of shino. if it had been any other anime the mc would have been beaten to half-death by all the girls lmao. great to see just how serious she's about her realtionship with naoya. she didn't hesitate to let shino know her intentions. we are seeing just how deeply and seriously they all love him that it is going to be incredibly painful to see just one girl getting chosen at the end. the despair the girls would feel would be nothing to what we would feel at the end. i think the only outcome from shino coming to live with them is that shino falling even harder for naoya. i mean just imagine being able to live with your crush, all it will do is increase your feelings for them even more and to add to that you will get used to their company- you will sit with them most of the time you're at home, you eat with them, go out with them etc. you just get closer and her feelings will just become stronger. shino good luck getting over naoya. now my biggest anticipation is the reactions of naoya and the other girls when it is finally revealed that shino loves naoya too which eventually has to come out. 5/5 episode. decent fan-service would have liked a little bit more but this will do. it's the action that counts not whether we viewers got to see it or not. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
I already like this season more than the first season because we get more Shino! |
 |
| What a great episode! The story of how Saki Saki and Shino became friends was hilarious, and so was the story of how she fell in love with the mc. I found interesting that this episode was mostly told through Shino's pov: we got to learn a lot more about her, and it also became more obvious what the 'real' reason might be for her trying to break up the two-timing. These two scenes with Saki Saki walking in on her in a 'compromising' situation were pretty well done too: funny but also hinting that at some point (soon?) Saki might realise how her best friend feels. One of the best episodes of the show imo :) |

| @ImmortalZero Because Rika is a horny teenager who wants to get in Mukai's pants. Mukai is a wholesome teenage boy who wants to take care of his harem. Also, Rika is cringe |
| At this pace he'll see Shino naked more often than with clothes |
 |
| 99% fan service belongs to Shina |
 |
| Nice Shino episode this time! Pretty funny seeing the excuse for the kiss work. |
 |
| mother of jesus Shino's won't hold back She's sure that she can destroy a wholesome harem |
 |
| I had to laugh out loud with how Shino and Saki's first meeting went in the past, with Saki loudly proclaiming about Shino having smaller breasts than herself, before Shino physically punished her. XD But yeah, the backstory of how Shino got to know Saki was sweet and the same goes for how Shino helped Naoya with his pursuit for Saki's love. To thank her for helping him, he got a purple bow as a gift for her, which I believe she still wears it in the present day. Of course, this episode had loads of Shino fanservice, which I do love since I think she has a gorgeous figure. It might be classic tropes left, right and centre, but I love it all the same! =D I'm not surprised with how stubborn and determined Shino is with her goal to break up this three-way relationship, but at the rate that this is going, I think she's going to comes to terms with her feelings for Naoya before long. I do hope this happens in the future. |
| Got some Shino backstory. Last season barely had her so it feels like season 2 is starting to make up for that. Really hope they keep giving all the girls enough attention. Speaking of which, seems like Rika is getting shafted a lot now. Holy shit. Sakisaki is somehow even stupider than I remember. But I think that just makes me like her even more. Before the harem happened I think Mukai and Saki were perfect for each other. I like the new conflict of Shino trying to make them stop this two-timing relationship. But we all know that sooner or later she will give in. Heck, she almost did in this episode. Which is a bit disappointing. Because I really like this current dynamic. Might just enjoy it while it lasts. I like that even after all this time I still unironically enjoy this anime. If anything, I might be enjoying it more now. I guess my taste didn't change much. |
| Shino best girl 52 |
| You know what? I'll said it here. This anime is better than Rent a GF |
 |
| Somehow that episode put everything together. I almost want to say it's the best of them all so far, including season 1. For it's here that we see everyone's insanity come to the fore: They all like Naoya because he insists on his absurd honor to the very end—and because they're also the kind of people to insist on their own ideas of what's right no matter what ridiculous place that leads. The clash of values, and the reductio ad absurdum, are both strange for a harem anime. Somehow the humor works really well. It's clear after this episode that Girlfriend, Girlfriend (I'm a CR person so I tend to use their titles and stylization) has defeated Rent-a-Girlfriend, which is funny and good in its own way but never overcame its own cringe—because it refuses to admit Chizuru is a terrible person. |
