Shikimori looks great in those gym clothes and to the surprise of no one, takes care of her boyfriend like a good girl. Izumi should be more careful not to get hit in the face.

I like how Shikimori gets like a power boost whenever Yuu cheers her on. Looked like almost everyone had fun in that volleyball game. Shikimori played like a star.

Izumi-san getting the short end of the stick, again. Guess that day isn't far enough when even a meteor will blast him over. Though anyways again Shikimori doing what she does throughout the episode, and I guess that new girl will have some relevance later on.

Nobody said anything about future episodes postponed, just TBC. And 2nd episode has already been confirmed since last week.
--------------------

I can definitely say this 2nd ep is much better than the 1st. At least we get to see the MC really trying his best to be useful here despite his unluckiness.

That was just a rumor. The studio never confirmed there was going to be a delay.

It's the inter-class ball sports tournament, and both boys' soccer and girls' volleyball overlap so Izumi and Shikimori can't support each other, so send love now while they still can!

Not surprised that Izumi's bad luck will run awry, and the ball right smack on his face must be the most embarrassing of them all, so it's rest time in the nurse's infirmary while Shikimori nurses him to health physcially and romantically as well (that was too strong of an affection). Yui had it hard in the basketball round, and both Kyou and Shikimori must renew that in the volleyball round against the ace Kamiya. One heartfelt encouragement from Izumi, and Shikimori feels the spirit to go all-out to give them their sole class win.

Shikimori becomes the new celebrity attraction, and so does Kyou in a crazy 1-2 twist. What a stroke of bad luck for Shuu to be hit by the face with a volleyball, and produce the most BL-visual like sequence. All the more that Izumi decides to stay away from Shikimori from a distance, but she just can't leave him alone.

Such dedication though, I'm loving it.

Good episode.

Shikimori was really cute in gym clothes, and that scene on the nurse's office was very cute too.

Overall I'm loving this anime, I really like the character design and Shikimori is one of my favorite girls of the season so far.

The adaptation is an even more mediocre version of the manga. Interactions still continue to feel incredibly awkward, and they are clearly rushing things around to fit it into 1 anime season, For example, Kamiya wasnt in the manga until Vol 5, but is introduced already as of ep 2

Those two are cute together but I have to admit that I didn't care at all about the volleyball game or the squeeing fangirls. Wonder if this show will be all about the sparkly cuteness or if a story will surface down the road. Don't know if this pure sugar straight into the veins will be sustainable long term but I'm in for now.

Lol Shikimori and Nekozaki really became celebrities over some high school volleyball. I like how wholesome Shikimori and Izumi's relationship continues to be.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Hmm pretty decent sports for the class tournament. Cheering isn't Shikimori's strong point huh. Still its the thought that really counts. Though Shikimori's victory in her game was impressive it also caused quite a stir for them within the school. Still its amusing seeing that even Shikimori can get jealous as well. Overall a decent ep that did well to expand upon the main leads though im still finding the Izumi rather plain. The cheer was a nice first step in breaking out of his comfort zone but there needs to be more.

This episode was really bland to be honest. It did not feel any different than episode one, other than the circumstances.

If every episode is just going to be the group doing something, Izumi cheering Shikimori on, Shikimori starts to win, then they have a cute end of episode moment, I will lose my mind.

Every event is just too predictable. Izumi plays football, gets hit in the head, because of course he does. Why he got sent to the nurse's office is just absurd, shows how much of a weakling he is, he doesn't even try take the stand up for himself. It's very infuriating. Then, Shikimori plays volleyball against an ace, they are losing then as soon as Izumi shows up and cheers, you know how it will play out. In the end, my guy approaches the stairs, you know he's going to slip. And he definitely does, but before he hits the ground, you know they won't just let him take it, nooooo, Shikimori just happens to be there at the right moment, and you know she'll be there. Then they have a cute moment, with Shikimori giving some cute expressions. The end.

The show has just been way to predictable and Izumi needs to grow a spine. I sure hope the cliche events don't continue, else this is going to be a very bland anime. Hell, I even found the power ranger romcom's plot more interesting than this. Also, Aharen-san has already won me over, it's funny, cute, and really teases the viewer.

Please get better Shikimori, I really want this to be a better show.

I love Shikimori so much, she’s really cute and cool! Hachimitsu was done really well in this episode in my opinion and the OST was nice.

However, I can’t be the only one thinking that this episode was really awkward and slow. The interactions just seemed weird, slow, and unnatural. Some situations just seemed very mediocre like the volleyball match. I expected it to be more hype around the match and Kamiya but it just didn’t hit. Also, with Shikimori and Izumi in the infirmary that scene was really awkward and when she left the room, it was really unnatural. I do hope this is improved in future episodes.
I definitely recommend checking out the manga because I think the manga is great and hits every note. I’m quite disappointed.

For the only 2 episodes that we have so far I think it's pretty good, cute and all. But has anyone read the manga ? Don't want to ask for spoilers or what but i'm kinda afraid of this cuteness begining to feel forced over the episodes has it seems that each episode has it's own small story and so not really going deeper into the characters personnality (except "Awww so cute").
Also kind of frustrated to know they're a couple but acting as two crushes.

But beyond that, the episode just put a smile on my face so, for me, it's a success !

Hachimitsu's accent seriously fits her so much. Anyway, Shikimori and sport is a great match together. I've been waiting for this chapter to get adapted. Once again, she shows how cool an good she is at everything she does and then you have Izumi who got hit by the volleyball LOL. Well, she gets a little famous here but her eyes are still on her boyfriend.

Woah there slow down, why would they introduce Kamiya this early when there are so many chapters away until we actually get to see her? Also, she doesn't have that much screentime compared to others but with all the interchanging towards events being totally messed up in this adaptation, it's not big of a surprise this is going to be a dead-end for this adaptation. Welp, I guess the physical education was fun for others, but I'm not enjoying how it's being handled in comparison to the manga because the adaptation likes to go back and forth with random events happening, too bad Shikimori was a short length series, to begin with. Hachmitsu stays to be a wing woman and the volleyball segment was just Shikimori winning all over.

Hopefully we get some focus on the secondary characters, or we dive a bit deeper into Shikimori and Izumi's characters, cause replaying the same gag over and over for more than we've already seen can get boring. Anything to shake things up on ep 3 would be welcome.

Shikimori was a bit more enjoyable this episode tho i still think she is to perfect.
Izumi on the other hand his clumsiness makes up for part of it not to mention him being insecure, the author wants to make them look like an odd couple tho personally i don't think they are such an odd couple.
To me to they seem like a fine couple.
With these two personalities tho things seem a bit predictable, so far nothing happened that was out of my expectation and personally i want to see a bit more things that you don't expect.
I also think this could use a bit more comedy.

I don't think this is bad tho.
