As expected, Mr. Mikadono has high expectations on his family.

This episode was quite moody for the first half. Kazuki should be the one to pay attention for now. It's obvious she had Yuu on her mind since she still didn't forget about her kiss. I think maybe the next episode or two will develop a more interesting relationship between the two.

KAZUKI NATION RISE THE FUCK UP WE ARE HERE!!! Best episode so far by a mile and I’m so looking forward to seeing this Kazuki mini arc play out. PLUS we meet the man, the myth, the sisters’ dad himself. I feel like there’s a lot more to him than we saw today though. Lot to unpack.

I’m thinking there’s some sort of long game being played here by the dad. I don’t see why he’d get mad at Yu for helping the girls when he quite literally instructed him to do just that a few episodes ago. Clearly he wanted the girls to become a proper family and Yu is doing that. He also had to have known that Yu wasn’t a particular impressive boy from the start when he took him in? Surely he didn’t just adopt him because he was Subaru’s son lol. If so, that’s your own fault and shows you are a subpar foster parent. I think he’s testing both Yu and the girls here to see how they respond. That’s me being optimistic tho, maybe he is genuinely a pos.

The fact the girls actually stood up to their dad and defended Yu(actually called his name for the first time) just shows the massive impact he’s had on them in such a short period of time and how much he means to them! They’re gradually understanding how being average is not bad at all. You don’t need to be perfect at everything and that’s such a horrible mentality their father has instilled in them!

The way girls all basically realized they need Yu at this point, not even just romantically, but basically being the mom of the house sending them off with a smile, making their lunches etc lol. So cute.

Kazuki focus in the second half is what I live for omg this was amazing. I’m ok with Kazuki wanting to understand femininity and get in touch with her “feminine” side, but I just pray they don’t take the edge away from her and make her a stereotypical maiden in love. One of my biggest pet peeves is when tomboys/“masculine” girls become all shy and cutesy after they fall in love. Keep her being her please 🙏🏾 the author being a woman kinda gives me some confidence that she’ll be aware of this and not go down that path. Fingers crossed.

The kiss was so freaking cute and the way Kazuki kept being reminded of it at every turn had me cracking up. I think falling in love will be great for her acting career! So excited to see how this date goes next week. If Kazuki pinned me against the wall and stared at me like that, I’m folding

"I raised my daughters to tough and indomitable."
And yet, we see you dominating them and crushing any independence.
That is not how I raise Evil Scions.

Color coded bento carriers. Cool. Cute.

Not a fan of the fall accidental kiss trope, but at least Kazuki did not blame Yu.

Kazuki has not played feminine rolls before.

Kazuki ED, with maybe spoiler in it.

I may or may not get hate for saying this but this anime is way better than couple of cuckoos and shows like harem and they live in same house genre till he pick one girl. This is even good even if they stay as family not even in romantic way cuz its really fun to watch.

We were getting into a good developmental groove and then the Mikadono’s dad had to appear and be an abusive a-hole and then introduce a potential love rival. Probably the weakest episode of the series so far.

Man, before this I thought the Father might be OK. Nope, he is the typical Asian Father Trope. I hate him. God, he is downright abusive in his demands, let your daughters be human beings for God's sake. No, they are just extensions of his own Ego.

The sisters start to get along but... their father enters the scene, and oh boy what a jerk this guy is.
He doesn't seem to care one bit about his daughters happiness or what they want, he makes them feel uncomfortable and get very disrespectful with Yuu.
Still, it was very nice to see the sisters rallying in support of Yuu.

That was rough but Yuu do not get discouraged for very long and soon he starts spoiling the sisters again with gorgeous meals and his kindness.
I did not expect the accidental Kazuki/Yuu kiss, and a date next time? things are getting very interesting there, I wonder what Niko and Miwa would think.
Can't wait for next week!

Shitty father and that was expected but the girls defending Yu infront of their father by listing out what he's best at inspite of his flaws to prevent him from getting thrown out of the house for being mediocre and calling him by his name for the first time..so precious 💖✨
Now the Mikadono sisters can't imagine a life without this little guy and his food and care. And Yu working for the sisters' welfare without expecting anything in return except for the satisfaction that he get from making them happy and getting to be a part of this family ❤️❤️
That Kiss with Kazuki came out of nowhere lol
I always thought Niko would be the first to experience that kinda accident first but it turned out to be Kazuki. And now she wants to train acting like a girl by going on a date with Yu and the plot thickness...😅❤️❤️

This Anime has become one of my favourites this season without myself knowing.

@AkeZZZ Poor girls..if they had their mother they wouldn't have to suffer and the same goes for Yu who didn't have a normal family even when he had a mother and when his mother wanted to be there for him it was already too late. Atleast the sisters and Yu have each other now.

Let’s set the episode aside for a moment.

The sweets the main character (I forgot his name) offered to Miwa seriously made me *want* to eat them! Aaaah! I’m someone who loves sweets of all kinds—this is cheating! Now I just want to eat some cake or anything sweet… ughhh.

As for the kiss scene that happened—LOL! I can’t believe we’re still seeing these kinds of scenes in anime even today… Ugh, you suddenly fall and end up kissing your dream guy…

Please be honest—has something like that *ever* happened to you in real life? As for me, my lips haven’t touched another human’s lips in my life. I’m still saving my first kiss…

And finally, the usual line: see you next week with a new comment!

What in the DanDaDan was that line-drive kiss?!🤣🤣

I was scared that we were going to spend the next few episodes having to redo all the hard-earned progress after the dad tried to reset everything, but instead we accelerated the progress between Yuu and the girls—especially Kazui. This arc with her is going to be a fun role reversal with the stud-girl and femboy match-up.

I wonder how long we have to wait for a love interest from outside the harem to challenge the sisters for Yuu? Looks like we already have an old-crush of Niko’s coming up.

Damn kiss(accidental) very early. Also loved the way Kazuki invited Yuu to the date. Big sister on offense.

Warra shitty father though good to see three of them protect Yuu and still taking his help.

Niko senpai sounds like a love rival, wating for her time..

Does anyone know the french song that plays in the background in the monologue scene of Kazuki (or a way to find it)? It's at the end of the episode when Kazuki thinks back about what her father said. I cannot make out the words apart from "je t'aime".

I had the Mikadono sisters father pinned completely wrong, Based on his few interactions with Yuu plus the passing of Subaru I'd assumed he was a nice guy who brought yuu in to support them in a more family way. But no seems he's just stuck up in them boosting their own careers which just sucks.

The kiss was certainly unexpected, Im just glad it didn't follow with Miwa and Niko somehow accidently kissing him too since everything they do I swear they do together.

This anime plays with the idea of reverse harem, but I'm glad that at its core it's really about coming-of-age story where each character has to decide their future in spite of unrealistically high expectation from both their own family and society.

It's pretty clear to me that the 'date' is to be an acting training thing, so Kazuki can learn something about being a Female MC in the play. I do not know that Yu really has anything to teach, however. Probably wind up with both of them being confused as all hell.

I was not expecting the dad or an accidental kiss in this episode. Once again I'm completely glued to the show when I'm watching it. The drama, the feelings, and the overall wholesome vibes of this show are unmatched. All the girls miss Yu not just because of his food or the chores, but because of his kindness. When they're coming home they feel safe and happy something they haven't felt in a long time. Yu doesn't realize it but he really is making that ideal tv family come true.

Buckle up everyone were getting a date next episode.

The Mikadonos' dad is far from the most likable parental figure and all but the mask scene was pretty over the top lol, really don't wanna believe he's where Kazuki got even a bit of her talent from.

So... I guess we now know that Yuu's not even good at cooking either. Sad, but it does make more sense. It makes me wonder if he's somehow bad at cleaning too, in some non-obvious way.

Anyway, another great episode. Despite the girls still being the ones in control of romantic progression and the guy being the one apologising for the accident, it still subverts a lot of tropes. I guess the dad will be the final boss for a happy family.

The father is certainly on something. Seeing his daughters more like assets that he wants to mold to be as elite as possible. Definitely rough for sure based on their demeanor when they were giving him their report.

It might have to do with the mother being out of the picture. If she’s no longer with them, the helplessness he felt he probably didn’t want his daughters to have that. Thus, making them nothing but assets that need to reach their fullest potential.

That kiss at the end was unexpected. I’m surprised and happy it was Kazuki. It should be interesting her to see how she’ll try to get a hold of her femininity.

This was the best episode so far.

At least we know why the sisters dad adopted Yuu now. He figures Yuu would be another person he can manage. To be honest at first I thought he adopted Yuu out of respect for Yuu's mom. Now I know better.

if talent is "cultivated"/"inherited", then the father MUST be a master in martial arts, acting and maths, right?

Admittedly, I was a bit naive in thinking that the Mikadono father would be pretty understanding, but his true colours were shown when he came back home to see how well his daughters are doing in their respective performances. The one and only thing he cares about is success and anything else are deemed irrelevant and unneeded. It also does feel weird that he voiced his stance towards the girls and also towards Yu considering that he did take him in to help the sisters to become a closer family, so it does feel a little contradictory that he was very disapproving of Yu's efforts with the sisters at the festival in the last episode.

Thankfully, the girls did stand up for Yu, so while things have almost gone back to the way it was at the beginning of the series, the girls can't stop thinking of how much Yu has effected them already. One moment here that I really liked was Miwa and how she reminisced on when Yu gave her a kitty-themed dessert, where her beaming happy face made me love her even more than before! =3

However, the major moment of this episode was the accidental kiss between Yu and Kazuki thanks to their clumsiness while cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen. Regardless of what she said to Yu that it didn't bother her, the truth was that she was severely bothered by it in amusing fashion. To add to that, she now proposes on going on a date with Yu. I highly doubt that this date will go smoothly, so I'm sure there'll be plenty of funny moments because of it. Either way, I look forward to seeing how well, or badly, this date goes.

This is very weird... I remembered when Mr. Mikadono talked to Yuu on the phone, he seemed very understanding and asked him to take care of his daughters and treated them like a family if I wasn't mistaken, but all of the sudden, he's this hardass father who criticise his daughers and scorn Yuu for being "normal" and weak?

Actually liking the way the series wanted to remind Kazuki about the 'kiss.' I thought it would be like your mediocre 'sudden blush' trope after 10 seconds. While I was initially glad she and Yuu seemed not to take the kiss seriously, the TV and pudding scenes caught me off guard, lol.
