Great episode! We actually got some RomCom!

And that fanservice! I like it when it's subtle.

Time to add the Supernatural tag. Hakuya's either a dog, a fox, or a wolf or some sort of being from another plane. Well, he's unidentified for now. The title finally makes sense! Enlightenment!

Another funny episode. Mashiro never fails to deliver.
"I never realized what I had until I lost you!" LMAO. I'd probably say the same thing if I had to eat Benio's cooking.

*dramatic music playing in the background*
Kobeni: "Is that why Nee-sama's so protective of me?"
Mashiro: "She's just a pervert." *end music*

Every male RomCom protagonist needs to learn from Hakuya.
"What do you like?"
"Kobeni."
No getting flustered. No hesitation. Just plain badass. *insert fangirl squeal here*


Damn! Are u inside my brain? U said everything I wanted to exactly the same way I wanted to XDXD

A few additions...

Sleeping Kobeni is cute <3 Dat naked body when she got her sweat wiped *A*

Mashiro's "Anyway How can she be that Voluptuous even while lying face up" was so lol but so true XD Dat size O_O

The apology was really cute. Kobeni's blushing fave is so adorable >.<
Benio's wanting to puke from RomCom and raising a flag was XD
Anyway what the hell is Mashiro's family??? "Pulling some strings to make first period a free hall" XDXDXD

The part where only Kobeni can understand Hakuya was friggin adorable. His direct bluntness and her reactions to his "Hidden" emotional faces were so cute <3

Poor Nadeshiko again with Benio sharing everything with her XD Lol'd at her answer to do I like better with or without glasses XD Couldn't care less hahaha

Benio awakening her M side wanting Kobeni to tell her off XD

I'm also guessing the person sent will be the woman in the kimono nxt ep ^^

Well they also mentioned earlier in the episodes that the Mitsumine family is pretty powerful or something, as far a I remember. Wonder if they're some supernatural creatures!
The plot is kinda getting more interesting, I wonder what they really are.
Hakuya runs pretty fast, impressive. Oh and when he caught the arrow, out of nowhere.
Hakuya smiled for the fist time - sugoii!
Poor Kobeni wasn't feeling well, but she eventually got better.
Mashiro was like, he can't live without you now. XD
The part where Benio was telling Hakuya, it wouldn't be a bright idea to leave you two alone XD Mashiro didn't understand anything.
Haven't got a good feeling about it XD Who's gonna inspect them, whats going to happen? I wonder.
Whats with the next epsiodes title - interesting ? Lol

This anime went from being cute but "ehh where is this going" to very interesting in one episode..

I really like how they built this up. They didn't really say much about Hakuya or his family for the first three and now all of a sudden this happens.

Lots of cute moments with the couple. Wondering who the observer will be? A relative? A member of another family that serves them ? I'm betting on the latter.

Is he a Fox deity (kitsune)? Those are quite some amazing skills, he runs quite fast.

Poor kobeni, lucky her, her sister is not that mean to ask her to sleep with her when she is sick.

Curious about who is going to check on them, I wonder if she is the lady that shows up dancing with kobeni's mother in the OP.


yeah, i think so that too, i bet she is a loli mom that Mashiro've talked before

I feel like because we haven't seen his right eye I'm sure we'll find out what he really is when they show it to us.

I always was curious what he looked like w/out his bangs covering his face.

If I had to guess, it's probably that girl wearing the yukata in the intro, who I'm guessing is their mother.

Reason why I think it's their mother is because in episode 2 Mashiro said "Considering my family, the prospect looks grim" in regards to "filling out", so I'm guessing she's going to be eternally a loli. :P

Plus, she's dancing in the intro with Kobeni and Benio's mother.

So the relationship seems to be progressing but there is more to Hakuya and Mashiro then they are letting on especially that speed and the final conversation stood out.
And it seems someone will be visiting soon so i guess we will see an explanation of some kind in the next episode or in the the upcoming episodes.
Till now things are pretty interesting.

This is by no means a great or original show, however it is most certainly a very well made show, and for me that is all that matters.

That the siblings were not human had been clear from the beginning, but they did an excellent job at not making it too obvious, rather they kept it in the bag by distracting one with all the other stuff. But all that other stuff was starting to get boring, so at the proper time they pulled the main theme and exposed it a couple of times. Now next episode we will get another girl from the clan, my guess its the love interest of the brother (in that the clan is not happy he is fixated on an outsider), so we will get lots of fun comedy surrounding that, with the big revelation coming at the end of the next episode (by accident of course, with the new character then feeling guilty), or the following one.

Predictable? Perhaps, but still so much fun to watch. The sister about to puke because she smelt a love comedy was a fun touch, again not original but still excellent in how they deployed it.

I'll have to break out the popcorn next episode, this is turning into a nice treat.

this is turning out to my fave of january. I like the direction in the show. they remove slapstick ques as much possible. They allows the focus on the characters without forcing comedy.

I agree, the comedy is not forced, the characters are solid with Kobeni being exceptional, the animation is really great, the atmosphere of the show is right on the spot, and the OP and ED are addicting. This show is very underrated ATM, more people should pick it up.

Haven't read the manga, so damn I wasn't expecting that. Apparently there's so much more to this story than I could have ever anticipated. I mean, I know it's called "Engaged to the Unidentified," but still.

But yeah, all the dog references are pointing to Hakuya being some kind of canid. Probably something of diety as well, as I'm thinking Mashiro has some sort of psychic powers: how she was able to transfer into their high school class as an elementary schooler, how she "did a little thing" to get them excused from first period.

Very interesting! :D

This last episode was truly awful. The comedy is the only thing it's still got going for itself but this horrendously cliché plot, with the recent addition of "they might ninjas" coupled with the most basic mary sue's/gary stu's characters is really getting to me.

I'm glad this series didn't end up being a generic RomCom SoL. (It helps that Benio is pretty much allergic to RomCom clichés.)

You don't honestly want that in the show itself do you? I'm fine with it being in the opening so long as the show itself doesn't have too many of those moments. Honestly the show does fine without them.

Wow, I can't believe so many people are surprised by the revelation that they're neither humans nor aliens. I thought it was clear from episode 2 that they are dog spirits.

I mean it keeps showing that their home in the mountains is a shrine, and when she remembered in episode 2 she said "who was there with me?" or something along those lines and it showed the figure of a dog. Also a lot of times it's shown Mashiro "wagging" her hair like a dog wags its tail, and her hair looks kinda like dog ears (of course that's not uncommon in even normal anime but still it adds to the signs). Episode 3 she also said something about there being something fluffy at that time.

It must just be because the title and opening/ending is misleading that it's so surprising for most. Could be because I watched it all at once, but it was mainly episode 2 that made it seem like they're dogs, and of course the fact that she kept relating him to a dog this episode.

Anyway, I'm guessing it's the girl in the kimono who's going to be coming to check on things... or the girl with the camera which would be pretty funny.
