| Iori becoming popular is a funny thing to see but it was inevitable. This is pretty much storytelling being sold with misunderstandings, since this anime has full of them. Still a very amusing episode. Sakurano imo is a breakout character this season. She just came and took a lot of spotlight with her personality. |
 |
| i love iori so much. even after all the bullying, he knows how to comfort. cant wait for the next week |
| Chisa really hits Iori with such a perplexing question, heh. Only one, right answer. The misunderstanding is real and the emotion is also genuine.  |
| TOO GOOOODDD! best episode so far. Yamane Aya's voice suits perfectly for Busujima-sama π |
| Everyone having a a different misuderstanding of the Naomi situation. "I worhsip them." "What does that even mean?? "All I see is a bunch of morons." I can't argue with that. "Believe in the me that believes in you!" KAMINA!! "Less useful that a torn stocking." I kinda . like . torn stockings. "Quit talking like you know shit." Aina going for it. Good Girl. |

| OMG WHAT IS THIS EPISODE, IT GOT SO EMOTIONALLY SERIOUS, I have a feeling the next episode will be another episode, since its so similar, a girl wants to confess to a guy who doesnt feel the same way, rejection after rejection, this is getting interesting, I wonder how it played out. |
| Chisa what do you mean lori doesn't have any appeal? He is the CHAD. |

| The misunderstandings between the characters are over the top and I'm loving it ππ€£ Chisa asking Iori if he likes Boobs or not and Iori coming up with best reply that he could..only the Right sided one lmao Kohei upon just hearing the word little sister trying to murder an imaginary boyfriend of Iori's sister π Sakurako finally conveyed her feelings to Naomi forcefully 'cause of her friends only to get rejected immediately. I hate her friends but that's really a big load off her shoulders 'cause Naomi is completely gay for Iori as of now and her feelings are never gonna be reciprocated. But Iori is always there for you when you need a shoulder to cry on. Glad he was there for Sakurako. That was a beautiful moment between those two π Now Aina is gonna take up on Azusa's advice and go on a movie date with Iori. Can't wait to see how fun it's gonna be ππ |

| I can't help looking forward to those romantic moments, but damn, I know I'll be disappointed if I do! |
| The chaos caused by the misunderstandings is fucking killing me lol. It's not even the first time Iori was suspected of being gay. There was the watching gay porn thing and then him pretending to have a crush on Kohei thing. But this time he really has no idea that he has already been labeled as being gay lmfao. "I love the boobs on the right side." Fuck does that even mean lmfao. Naomi's into Iori, I get that he doesn't know if he's actually into guys or not. He's going to be disappointed if he asks him out lol. And yeah, I feel bad for Busujima. But she should've backed down after learning Naomi was gay. But Ig she just had to get a direct confirmation. Wonder what he said to her. Iori's actually a pretty nice guy. Always has been. It's the outside craziness that made him weird. So him supporting Busujima even after all she put him through was kinda nice. Wow Aina's actually finally making a move on Iori. But is she actually into him or what? She's so desperate she's willing to settle for Iori of all people... |
| Illegal cliffhanger. Wait a second, so throughout the whole episode, Iori didn’t realize that Naomi was making moves on him? That he swings that way? I honestly can’t tell whether to call him pure and innocent or just clueless and dense, haha. That said, I’m super excited for his reaction! |
| The reaction that Chisa made to that confession was just priceless. Up until the stun gun Sakuraco's plan would had been fine i guess. Otoya though really did well under pressure though. Kinda a shame that her confession didn't go well despite her planning. But being able to move on is a good thing. |

| It feels weirder than it has to be to admit that Iori and Sakurako look great together. Almost wanna see it happen just to see how the scumbros would take it lol. You already know Azusa's cooked up a juicy battle strategy for Cakey that's probably going to go horribly wrong. |
| Loved this episode! The first part was so fun. |

Iori has several flaws, but when it comes to supporting those close to him, he's a masterclass.

| More Sakurako! Chisa and Kitahara questioning mind battle was funny. |

| Impressive how one misunderstanding kept piling on another one. Honestly this entire Sakurako and Naoi thing was just a drag. Atleast I get to see the bitch cry in the end. Which was some positive. Absolutely deserved she deserves to suffer moreπ Atleast she had some guts to atleast acknowledge her mistake. But without a proper apology to Kohei(which won't ever happen ig) I will love to hate her even more. Kinda shame because i really like her seiyuu roles. Probably the least enjoyable episode in the entire series for me. Except Iori still being gentleman very meh. Well Aina episode will be lot better next time. |
| Ah, so that's what Azusa and Aina were meeting about. |
| Damn that was hilarious, and even pulled at the heartstrings. 5/5 |
| they skip the bar scene, alala the episode was really funny like usual it felt maybe more like a romance chapter in the manga than the anime... |

If you think about it, you have a 5% chance that a same sex friend or acquiantance is gay, and that still doesn't mean they will be attracted to you automatically (and also they probably try to understand your sexuality before moving, because they have more to lose). So the chance that you will be hit on by a same sex person is so miniscule, that it is perfectly normal, that Iori wouldn't even think about the possibility.
People can be really blind to anything if it doesn't fit their prior experiences or biases, so this part is the least unrealistic in this show, because most people in real life wouldn't recognize if a same sex person would be trying to hit on them, and the other party would just realize that and move on.

| @fenrirr2 Honestly, I agree with everything you said except for the last part, where you mentioned that most people in real life wouldn’t recognize if a same-sex person was trying to hit on them. The reason I disagree is because, usually, gay people act in a certain way that you probably know of. Therefore, I think one would be able to notice it. Someone might not notice if they didn’t know the person was gay, but if you already know your friend is gay, then I think it’s easier to tell whether they’re making a move on you or not. You get me? |
| Good ep Chisa cannot believe what she is hearing π Iori is such a man of culture. Sakurako surely likes Naomi, but it just won't work. At least she confessed and can truly be vulnerable abt her feelings ig. 9/10 |
 "Hard work is worthless for those that don’t believe in themselves" - Naruto Uzumaki |
| An episode based on misunderstandings left and right, now this is what I love. And Kohei really came with those bombs and chainsaw, lmfao. 5/5. |
 |
| I really didn't like Busujima-sama at first, a couple of eps earlier, but she really is just a perfect female version of Iori's scumbros. :D I'd even say the Iori x Sakurako is the best ship lol. |
| another banger loved the gurren lagann easter egg too loving this season. 10/10 was that text from aina at the end?? oooo |
 |
Bad-Judgement said: They skipped the entire bar chapter one of the funnier chapters. Where kohei learns that Tokita has a girlfriend . And iori takes shots for each piece of usless info. oh damn. another reason i gotta jump on the manga after this season |
|
| Only the right side LOL Busujima gets some character development. Movie date with cakey incoming |
 |
| Lol so for Chisa it's either that Iori is gay or that he has a very weird boobs fetish where he only loves the right one XD anyway that was fun except for Sakurako being rejected but Iori is there to comfort her :) next it's movie date time |
 |
That's a good question, Chisa. I'm a guy and I don't know the answer myself. Haven't met a dude who only likes one of the pair, but the possibility isn't zero. Iori is far from the definition of gentleman, but he's a very caring friend. If you're one of his friends, asshole or not, he will help you one way or another.  |

| This was probably the best ep this season, can't wait for the next ep. |

If you know that the other person is gay, then obviously you are far more prone to recognize their intent, but here they don't know Naomi is gay (if he even gay and not bi, and even a a non-romantic admiration is a possibility), thoguh Busujima probably realized it.
"but if you already know your friend is gay, then I think it’s easier to tell whether they’re making a move on you or not."
That is actually a pretty strange thing, I couldn't possibly imagine, that somebody who is a friend would make a move on their friend who they know is not gay (unless you are gay ofcourse, then them trying to hit on you would make more sense).

I wasn’t referring to myself, but to Naomi, who’s supposedly friends with Iori by now. In real life, sure, friends would probably know something like that. But I think it was a bit too fast for Iori to already know that about Naomi, since even if they’ve become friends, they’ve only known each other for a few days. |
| This season was already not that great, but with the focus on these new characters it kinda lost me. |
| If one misunderstanding was a brick, then Chisa and Iori have constructed a whole building's worth of misunderstandings during their talk together. XD Despite that, Iori continues to show how much of a caring guy he is, even though Sakurako put him through hell since Otoya has a crush on him. I do respect Sakurako for finally making her move to ask Otoya out, which ended in failure as expected, but when trying to brush it off afterwards, Iori's wisdom kicked in and told her there's nothing wrong with liking someone the way she did. Her grinning smile towards the end of the episode was nice, I must say. =) Speaking of making a move, it looks like Aina had made her move to ask Iori to watch a movie and just the two of them at that. Aina is one of my favourite girls, so I really hope this will work out for her! |
