Tsuzuki Makoto...a best selling author. Is he worth trusting? It seems the show introduces new characters quite often now including his brother.

Kinda wish Rei is more developed in this series. It feels like the show dedicates more time into other characters but I guess the format of the anime works that way.

Investigating that novelist, who is also one of the candidates. There's a case that making most of the officers busy, so one of the offices, who is also novel fan, is accompanying her.

The novelist has a younger brother who is an actor. Novelist doesn't want his own brother to act in the drama based on his own novel. Younger sister in hospital from the car accident involving with an unsolving case that Matori not doing anything. That's why the novelist is not trusting Matori.

He's not actually quitting being novelist, because there's different genre of new work started. The one he's wanting to write about, for his younger siblings. She gave up on recruiting him for now so that he can finish that new work.

After ED, Younger brother, who is also candidate, offered to be recruited. It seems like the brother arc continues.

Stop introducing that much characters, I can't follow.
Kyosuke looked like a rapist at the end seriously.

Desiring more from this show honestly, but liked this episode more so than the last two.

Like the others said I’m trying to keep up with the characters. I want more Rei character development.

I am feeling the slow burn from this series, but I am hoping the pay off of the slow burn is worth it. I am just hoping for more.

This show has os many characters, I have basically given up trying to guess their names and I've now have gotten so low to the point where I just call them by their hair color. So anyway, Purple hair guy seems pretty cool and I'm interested in seeing more Color Stands in the show.

I mean, I thought this episode was alright and I still hate the aesthetic of the show (Whoever thought putting lights in the corner of the screen should be fired), I'm still considering this an ok show.
It really do be like that though.

This and Ascendance of a Bookworm are in the same circle. They don't have any payoff yet, but I wanna see more of what's to come. Though I'm interested in Bookworm's a bit more.
It really do be like that though.

Kyosuke should be the one that gets recruited, he was a lot nicer to Izumi than Makoto. Makoto was an assfaced jerk and obviously doesn't respect women like Sosei. Sosei was the worst with that stinking attitude I could smell way from here. It seems like most guys here are really manner-challenged. They all think they're hot stuff.

I hope Izumi will kick some of them in the jewels next time.

I feel you. I do find these episodes relaxing to watch too.



The novelist was a character I could empathise with it cause it's a kind of hell to write what is popular
when it's not in alignment with what your heart wants you to write.

So it's understandable why he wanted to go into retirement and didn't seem to care about the novel getting a drama.



Thanks to Rei, the actor brother learnt of his sibling's true intention, creating a tender moment between him and the novelist. I hope their sister recovers soon.

A new day, and a new candidate for STAND. This time, a best-selling novelist and an actor, both brothers. But with the same drug/narcotics issue on the backhand, Izumi Rei has it on her shoulders once again to scout yet another potential. Like how many guys, is the legit question. But that's her ONLY role, just wishing she would break out of her shell for something more.

On hindsight, the actor brother is much more open than the novelist himself, if judging by appearances alone. But it seems that the family itself is in ruins, with the sister in an accident-prone comatose (like what a way to etch a simple cliché backstory).

But what a way to fire things up when the similarities match with so many guys involved in the overarching drug case, or even cases of the past. HOO BOY AM I SURPRISED...er, nah. TBH just hoping that this'll go somewhere.

Being a rebel to society is always hard, dashing and killing personal dreams than making what is required. Needs vs. wants, if that is what we've learned not to cross lines.

Quite a chill episode, color me surprised when it comes to Otome game adaptations.

It finally started to get interesting.
I, too, can't keep up with this many characters, like most of the people here. But I'm trying my best for now.

I’m watching this bcause it is josei and dubbed. I think it is not as bad as the score suggests. I enjoy little amounts of backstories they insert here and there. if only it didn’t start with that horrible Engljsb opening and the main character wasn’t surrounded by all sorts of fancy looking guys. It makes the show look so shallow.

It's not that I truly loved it, it was as enjoyable josei/reverse harem anime and I'm a fan of that genre. I wish we could have the season 2 of this anime. What I don't get is that why can't we get a lot of reverse harem anime? There's too much harem animes where there's a lot of girls with big boobies surrounding a single boy, and it always ends up having an ecchi genre too whilst reverse harem rarely has it that it makes it much more decent to watch yet we get a listable amount of it and that's disappointing.

I really wonder how Izumi got a job like that if she really trusted the information of the tabloids...

Seeing that scene after the ending, looks like the romance is going to start

I love this anime and I love the opening. The story is starting to get really good. I wonder if the writer is going to join the DCD, or if he's going to just be a side/background character.

again, love the opening. It's an opening I will never skip. I'm definitely buying the song from iTunes when I get the money. lol
