Hmm, we got some screen time between Ao and Miyabi.

It's kinda refreshing to see her hang out with someone else besides the main guy in this anime. Also felt like this episode is more moody than the others. That Miyabi girl is coming full force at Takumi.

A fierce rival appears and one who is willing to do everything to get the couple apart.
That scene at the hotel doesn't predict much good.

The wether she will succeed or not is a different story.

Looks like Ao had quite the bad childhood on account of both her name and her family. Ao's expression when she's angry sure was terrifying lol. Given Ao's nature not being able to trust someone after such a revelation is natural. Ironic in how Miyabi is actually using Ao's father's book to get ahead of her. The talk within the haunted house sure was a fun moment though. While it started off well the reveal of their identities served to really stir up their disagreements. Curious to see whether Miyabi will go to her next step though. But her intro and Ao and Kijima's little cold war sure made this ep an entertaining one.

Pretty funny. Ao has some "competition." Really it's her fault for dragging Kijima along and not giving him an answer. She's reasonable tho and realizes this. Still shes' understandably jealous. I really doubt this is a show were they end up together, especially this early on, so I find it highly unlikely this rival will cause much to happen.

Also it's pretty funny how the dad's voice changes back and fourth.

My hope is that Miyabi ends up with Ao-chan's dad, but I know that is probably low probability.

Nice episode! Started off with a flashback from Ao when she was little. Appearently that girl is back now and is trying to compete in love... I hope this doesn’t become some kind of harem netorare thingie. That would be a huge letdown. That conversation in the haunted house sure was intense though. Lits of feelings and emtions are going through them and to eachother. Quite interesting and that’s why I definitely ship them.

Ao-chan finally has a rival now, though I wasn't expecting there to be a rival in this show.

Next episode looks good. :3

This is the first time Horie's dad isn't annoying, instead he is helpful this week.

Misunderstanding happen. Kijima thoughts Horie has a boyfriend (which is actually her dad), and Horie saw them in front of love hotel, damn you bad timing.

Yo Fuck Miyabi! I hate this Tension between Takumi and Ao but it's good development!

The Haunted house scene was good.

I love Ao more seeing her bullied past T_T. Poor Girl

So I know this will seem like a weird view point but this episode makes me kind of sad. I know things will probably work out but the whole rival thing makes me sad in this anime.

I've of course watched others with rivals but none of them have actually made me sad like this one. I think that's because Ao just has a hard time expressing how she's feels and that causes problems on top of the obvious problems being set up by Miyabi.

I don't understand why Ao keeps chasing after Kijima. Don't get me wrong; we, the audience, know that he's a good guy and that he really likes her and isn't sleeping around with Miyabi, but SHE thinks he is, especially after seeing a photo of him doing so. He also responded to "You're just playing with me, right?" with "Okay, I'll leave you alone" instead of denial, which made it sound like he was.

I know I'm not supposed to overthink this, but when I watch a series, I like to try and see things from everyone's perspective, and Ao has so many piled up misconceptions about Kijima that never get resolved that I don't see how she can still like him.

Meh, new girl was completely unnecessary. Being only a 12 minute episode, I would rather it stick to the lewd misunderstandings than waste time trying to actually shove some really bad third wheel drama in.

Damn, this is anime is much funnier than I expected it to be. It honestly could be a 24 minutes per episode, it's pretty funny and well made. And the songs are great too. All the different types of misunderstandings they are having are played pretty well. I might pick up the manga if it keeps going this way. x)

Takumi is fucking adorable. I might find a place for him in my favourites if he sticks to this personality till the end.

I'm genuinely really enjoying this show, it's a lot of cute fun. There is nothing new about this series, but that's what i like about it, stuff i've seen before, but haven't seen in a while. Man though, she's more perverted than i thought. She's been doing nothing but projecting her perversions all over people heh, and fantasizing. It's so cute.

The fuck is everyone bitching about?

Just FYI, feminism and anti-feminism barely exists in japa, and never did exist there in the past. So there's no point in even discussing that garbage around anime, or even projecting your views onto it from that perspective. Anime looks down on everyone, but also looks up on everyone. This is a SHOUJO series, meaning it's intended for female audiences, whom are interested in men.

ps: Ao's name joke is ao for "aokan" which means public sex.
The crunchy subs say "Ao-face", obviously cuz they didn't get the joke or tried to convert it for derp western audience to make it sound like ahegao or something.

This episode is really good, I liked where everything seems connected "in the fun way" haha, Like new love rival who turn out to be Ao's friend from her dark past who turn out to take a liking to Kijima and somehow use Ao's Dad Novel as a guidance for her 1st date :D.

BTW, l LOL at Dad voice, he become like wise romance expert in his deep voice and turn to stupid pervert in his grouchy voice hahaha.

that cliffhanger in front of Love Hotel hahaha, can't wait to see Kijima strong resolve to Ao on next episode.

WHY DID THEY DO THE DAD DIRTY IN EPISODE 1??
He's hilarious when he goes from screechy old man to wise, serious dad, giving advice.
The second half of this episode was fun to watch.
Also! If there is no ED, so the cliffhanger gets spoiled as soon as you finish the episode.
That lowered my score.
