| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Jesus Christ, Ruka is persistent but I don't blame her for being aggressive this episode. Kauzya is a fool constantly trying to back off from everything. This Ruka/Mizuhara/Kazuya angle is getting more and more complicated tbh. Ruka's practically acting like his wife. |
 |
| I thought that the black (hard to say) was a condom, it turned out to be just a stocking. After all, Ruka is just curious about the relationship between Kazuya and Chizuru. Is it necessary to talk about it at the love hotel? I wonder if there is a cafe or something in KanoKari, Looks like the paper really materialized, I mean jealousy. After hearing that do you still want to reveal it to Oba-sama, Ruka? Thanks for the Smile's hotel.  |
| I remember the Love Hotel episode being racier in the manga. And Ruka is as dumb as Kazuya. Lots of opportunities to end all lies, and this just continues at the status quo. Cue in Seinfeld music. |
 |
| Good episode didn't actually think ruka would just say she is his girlfriend in front of everyone>. I will give her this she got balls. Also, an iron will is required. Best face from this ep.  |

| People really out here stanning Chizuru like Ruka don’t exist lol. https://imgur.com/a/lvwbkBp I know this show isn’t supposed to be taken seriously or anything but man I can’t help but being frustrated at how stupid this all is in terms of this situation with the grandmother. Toxic all around. |
 |
| It was cute seeing Kazuya's reaction at using Chizuru's gift. Ruka though really loves her leaps thats for sure. That image of a old Kazuya and Chizuru still together as a fake couple sure was fun. Still Ruka sure is pretty direct with her desires. Ruka's crashing of the meeting though sure created quite the complex situation for all parties involved. The talk between Ruka and Gran at the shrine though sure proved interesting as it showed well just how much the latter liked Chizuru not just as a potential granddaughter but also as a friend as well. Looks like Ruka's settling in for a drawn out battle with Chizuru though. Overall a fun ep that did well to show the intensifying battle between Ruka and Chizuru for Kazuya's heart. Curious though on when Sumi will appear given that the series is almost at the end. |

| Ruka really is an assertive person. With three episodes left, there is still no Sumi. |
 |
| I feel sorry for Ruka, that really scummy how she was treated. But she was a part of the problem. She forced herself on thier shrine visit. In the other hand Kazuya had a perfect opportunity to say the truth. But he don't really want to. And Chizuru don't know what she want too. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |

Toxic all around. Ikr? I keep hating on this Kazuya dude ever since the show started for roping these poor girls into such an unintentional scheme and for how much of a pussy he is, but I guess there's not much I can say considering what kind of a situation he is in right now. I mean they're no angels either but dayum, I can't believe how aggressive Yuigaha- I mean Ruka was this episode... I hope Kazuya somehow finds redemption by the end of the series. |
| Lmao so when does Sumi get introduced, we have just 3 eps left On a side note, this might not be the best anime this season, but it's definitely the one I'm enjoying the most, even more than Re:Zero which is a big thing |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| ugh these episodes are getting more and more annoying. this show just keeps adding on more and more conflicts making this 20 times more complicated than it needs to be. I really thought kazuya was getting some growth and turning into less of a pussy, but he's back to the way he was before smh. >:( I honestly like Ruka's aggressiveness, she could've ended it all by just telling the grandma tho. 3 more episodes left and still no sumi :( I hope she at least appears for 2 episodes.  |
| Bloody hell... Kuzuya's grandma should just date Mizuhara! Ruka is right in everything she's saying but she's going about this all wrong. The more she tries to force herself on Kuzuya, the less he's gonna like her and she needs to stop making these asshole moves were she just baits everyone out! |
 |
| Poor Ruka she deserves better than being insulted of a pathological liar by Kazuya just to cover the truth about Mizuhara...Ruka best girl (and lol RIP Sumi at this point) |
 |
| How beta could you be to refuse a 10/10 girl offering her *things*. The series would just end here, omg the MC is pathetic af. |
 |
| In this series all the characters are annoying in their own way xD |
 |
| Very entertaining and fun episode, I love to see Ruka more on screen and the episodes are not so focused on the character of Mizuhara. It makes me feel a little bit sad when Ruka tries to be loved but the Kazuya does not realize the wonderful Kanojo that he has in front of him. ;_; Still waiting for Sumi ^^ |
 |
| Damn I acc liked this episode, all cuz of Ruka. We got sum rlly good tension with what happened. The only thing that pissed me off was the poor track placement in the episode like 90 percent of the time. |
 |
| all these lies are really getting out of hand now.. damn, the preview - does this mean someone else will find out mizuhara is a rental? |
| I mean Ruka practically forced him to date her, but Kazuya's half-assed manner will definitely end up hurting her. He should just tell her he can't be with her, trial period or not- because she's trying her best and she did have a point in this episode. Like, there's no reason for this shoehorned love triangle other than unnecessary drama. If a third girl is added into the mix, it's gonna get even more frustrating and annoying. |
| Ruka is very persistent, and to a certain point, really pushy, but she's right about the whole Kazuya-Chizuru thing, it's wrong that they continued in such a relationship for so long, also, that's basically a result of Kazuya being incompetent and always telling lies that dig them deeper and deeper, can't he be honest and tell his family already? By the way, only 3 episodes left, still no Sumi. |
 |
| Ruka need to just stop. She is right on what they need to do but wrong in how she is trying to get it done. To stop the facade and I guess introduce the "real girlfriend" they can easily do it. The solution is pretty simple. 1) Mizuhara gets less and less involved. Give this phase about a month. This makes it less weird for when they break up. 2) Tell their grandmas they broke up. Without step 1, this would be weird if a lovey dovey couple suddenly breaks up. 3) Give a couple months at least before introducing Ruka. or... not if Kazuya don' like her Problem here is that Ruka and Kazuya are too dumb and keeps burning each other's bridges by lying. Instead of falling back on a more reasonable lie, they go for the most outrageous stuff. The "problem" of upsetting grandma is a non-issue. Mizuhara and Kazuya made it a bigger problem than it needed to be. He was alone before and while disappointed, she was fine as is without Mizuhara. Yes breaking the bad news would hurt her, but only temporarily. The longer the lie goes on the more fond grandma is of Mizuhara and the greater the pain when it falls through. The ultimate problem here is that do Kazuya really want to 'break up with Mizuhara' and do Mizuhara want to hand him over to Ruka. but even then it could be solved. They break up, and if the two truly like each other, they can get back together. Officially. It isn't unheard of for couples to break up and get back together anyways. No one would be suspicious nor upset that it happened. Maybe the grandparents are sad for a little while but hardly world ending. By their age, they experienced far sadder things in life. Additionally Mizuhara doesn't have to be cut completely from grandma's life. They can still be 'friends' and visit. Grandma might even be more accepting since it wasn't those dramatic horrible break ups but a mutual agreement to end Mizuhara and Kazuya's relationship. But Mizuhara and Kazuya lack any backbone and decisiveness. While Ruka and Kazuya have the IQ in the single digits. |

| Ruka borderline ruining the anime for me. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| what i get in this episode - Kazuya acts like a elementary school kids, not being honest when Chizuru goes straight to the point and asks whether he loves chizuru hes actually made the situation even more complicated, like a fckin kid does he realize he's already in college and mature? - Kazuya likes to jerk off but doesn't horny to Ruka and tries to run away from Ruka who is so hot and beautiful, is MC a fagot? - Kazuya and Chizuru are still going out together for business, even though their grandmother doesn't know they are going out together - ruka is very good and smart in approaching kazuya's grandmother, I became more respectful to ruka - Kazuya's grandmother is very annoying - Kazuya's grandmother makes Ruka hurt by praising Chizuru and Ruka realizes that Kazuya's grandmother only likes Chizuru and always Chizzuru rather than his own grandchild. - Ruka didn't give up and got stronger Ruka simply the best girl in this series Even though with the presence of ruka it is very possible for Kazuya to be honest, and tells his grandmother that he has nothing with Chizuru. instead Kazuya became more more acted like an asshole, just like his grandmother and his family. an asshole family Poor Ruka I began to understand why many people hate this anime 1/5  |

"the greatest anime fight"  |
| both times ive seen this happen, manga and anime, it amazes me how far kazuya can claim he is “ doing the gf thing for his grandma “ and how he wants to end the lie, just to continue digging himself in a hole deeper and deeper. Its annoying how he always says that he will eventually end the lie and call it “complicated” to ruka, even though it really isnt. |
 |
| Daaamn, Sumi will really get two eps max?? Since she is nowhere in the PV for next week. :( Regarding this episode, I already forgot Ruka tried to stir some serious shit at some point. xD |
| As an anime only watcher, I am now solidly pro-Ruka. Yes, she is clingy and overstepping her boundaries from time to time, but her arguments are extremely solid. Maybe Chizuru likes Kazuya, maybe she doesn't, but as a rental girlfriend, Chizuru is absolutely stepping outside her boundaries. Both Kazuya and Chizuru are 100% at fault for the mess they are in right now. Also, I'm not sure why Kazuya wouldn't take up Ruka as his girlfriend. By this point, Kazuya must have spent so much money on Chizuru just to keep up an image of having a fake girlfriend. With all that being said, where is the 4th and last girl? Will she even appear this season? |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Ruka best girl so far! - Kanojo desu - Kanojo desu - Kanojo desu |

I enjoy lightskyblue  |
| I don't get why people can't comprehend that Kazuya likes Chizuru, given that this is stated outright. This is the real reason why he insists on maintaining the facade. He's terrified that if the faced were to go away, Chizuru would go with it. Is this the best way to deal with his situation? Absolutely not, but considering that it is achieving the goal of preserving his relationship with Chizuru, you can't really call it irrational either. This is also why Kazuya refuses to have sex with Ruka, which in my opinion is one of his rare truly manly moments. Maybe Ruka will manage to get her foot in the door, but as for now, Kazuya is firmly on the H.M.S. Chizuru whether you like it or not. I have to admit that it is quite ironic for Kazuya to accuse Ruka of being a pathological liar. |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
| I'm starting to fall for Ruka. Not only she is persistent, but she is very serious about being Kazuya's girlfriend despite being very clingy. |
 |
| Rukka best girl. I hate to see the protagonist refusing her. It's so stupid, everything he wanted is right there in front of him but he keeps getting attached to a silly passion he had for Mizuhara grrrrrr |
 |
| This anime is so ridiculous that I love this. People that can't seem to enjoy this are probably like Kazuya IRL. Ruka's winning the best girl status so far indeed. |

| I'm jelly of kazuya's situation I can't lie, but yeah glad that bitch won't give up on him. she has to go to hell and back. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
Manuchimso said: Bruh the anime ain't even that bad lmao. This gets way too much unnecessary hate. Ikr? Like I don't think it's the best shit ever or anything, but people are acting like it's the worst show they've ever seen and that's just hyperbolic imo. OT: Ruka is clingy as hell and I can see why people don't like her, but I think she's still best girl despite that. She's adorable and I love her. |
 |
| ruka please i was begging you to just end this all |
Why do people suffer on his sex fantasies? Being a virgin isn't a bad thing but this boy's a retard SMH... |
