| every episode makes me wonder which one is my favorite girl on this series, i always liked all of them but not sure who i like more lol if anything every episode makes me question that ... i used to like Uruka just a little more than the others on season 1... 3 or 4 episodes ago, i thought sensei had taken over, and after these 2 episodes, i probably would say i like Fumino more than the others LOL i mean, animes like this and gotoubun, and many others, probably intend to make us feel that way, but it's still strange :v |
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons  |

It will be ridiculous if only one of the five gets her arc and others do not in anime adaptation. Jica said: Lol.. look at these anime onlies thinking that foom arc is the best one.. (its just the first serious arc) Tell them about it! Sensei and Senpai's arcs had so much more going about them and were significantly much more powerful and impactful, too! Absolutely loved those two arcs. I am gonna be super pissed because they already removed/ left out (or likely to leave out) a lot of Uruka and Sensei's important parts from this adaptation if this ends with S2 and nothing ever again. At least it is obvious in the manga which two are head and shoulders above the others. The adaptation feels like a diversion at this point. Because if they didn't do Sensei dirty, she would probably leave others to dust if she hadn't already. And if they adapted Uruka moments, this arc would feel like a cheap bait. We all know what followed this Fumi-daddy arc. Yet they are skipping it. Fumino had a mere 3.62% advantage over Uruka in the first poll to begin with. It got reduced to a mere 1.16% in the second and that was after Fumino's arc and without an arc in sight for Uruka to this day. While Sensei thumped everyone in Japan, I need to point out that Fumino had the largest drop in the votes received in the second poll in comparison to the first. Uruka had the least drop and hence the gap closed. I am pretty sure Fumino will be unable to keep her second place if a poll is conducted in WSJ. Uruka chapters that followed in the latter part of the manga including the most recent ones had been received very highly in Japan. |

| Great episode, loved that arc! Moments between Fumino and nariyuki were really awesome, she really suits to a wife, and even entered Nariyuki's bath to clean his back, Fumino is awesome, i like her since the beginning, from Nariyuki's tutoring, she is my favourite! Finally she decided to confront her father and tell him how much she likes starts, and seems Fumino also figured out her mother's laptop password, obvious Reiji would figure out that the password was his name! It wa swonderfull to have a chance to see Fumino's mother, Fumino definetely inherit he rpersonality from her mother, and seems she was also bad at maths in high school, she proved that Fumino can work hard to reach her dream to her father! And also Fumino and he rmother relationship was so hearwarming! Nariyuki and Fumino's moment at bench was really adorable and sweet! Reiji's asking in which level of relationship he is with Fumino was glorious! Seems Kirisu will do a cute cosplay next episode! Can't wait! xD |

| Can we take a moment and appreciate the star gazing scene. This episode was really just so beautiful. |
| Fumino becoming more of a house-bride at this point heh xD this brings hope for #TeamFumino And as expected to be, subvert those fanservice with a swimsuit underneath. And what should have been her friends getting first (date) base with Nariyuki, she instead got it 1st with him with star gazing. But his point has always been reconciliation for her with her dreams and ambitions, against the backdrop that her dad is done with everything that's about being a genius. More than that, this explains her character development with her estranged genius family. Like mother like daughter, down to their exact thoughts, the only liability is with a dad who'll never understand each other after the loss of their kin, FOR 10 Years to force such a hand. Relieved of her burden to carry the weight of the family on her shoulders, certainty of gladness for her, coupled with Nariyuki's family's help. With that, Fumino's mini arc comes to an end! Blissful episode that makes this sequel much the worth! Last 3 episodes, the school festival arc! |

| Still Team Uruka! But I’m happy for Fumino |
| I never was into the Fumi hype, but damn it this episode speaks volumes about that, I used to swear by Takemoto, I still do, well, kinda, after this episode, I genuinely can't decide. Ogata has definitely fallen back though. It's a two-sided slaughter between Takemoto and Fumi so far. I really loved the resolution between Fumi and her father, sometimes, the most grueling ordeals only need a few words exchange to settle, always make the first step in situations like this, we only live long enough, just imagine had she never met Naryuki and gotten enough confidence to confront her father, the same goes for the father as well. A blossoming father-daughter relationship would have been to waste. |
| @Eoussama: Read the manga before it is too late. Edit: MonkeyDJasper said: you do realize that while Sensei is more popular in japan due to her being a whole mixed bag of tropes japan loves , Fumino is more popular in the west Based on what? Anime onlies in MAL? What about /r and /a? |

Polls always have different results depending on the target demographics.

It doesn't represent the whole world nor does it affect our experience with the story, right? |
| Loving Fumino's arc so far. I think she'll win lmak |

It was also proven in Gotoubun. Also, I have mentioned anime onlies. The latter was proven in Kaguya-sama. The same cannot be said about r/ or a/ where you see the discussion of the readers. I would have no issues if the anime adaptation was fair. But everyone who has read the manga knows that it has Fumino bias. |

I would have no issues if the anime adaptation was fair. But everyone who has read the manga knows that it has Fumino bias. How do you prove it is full of bot accounts? If you don't trust the polls, then you can read the discussions on MAL too to learn which character is favored. Collect your own statistics data from discussions on /r, /a, MAL then make a chart for comparison. The author's bias and how it affects whom the readers end up liking is pretty common, isn't it? I would even say that it is one of the author's main purposes when telling a story. If authors have to be fair to all characters to enable an online beauty pageant or something thus having no main (female) character, then most stories are probably unfair as you put it. It would feel like making a documentary or biography. |
| @vikki_asa: The Author isn't bias (well, until very recently, because the story is nearing the end). The director of the anime is. The manga has been more balanced up until the point where it started getting closer to the end (in the last 10 chapters or so). The director left out very important parts with Uruka (a whole conversation that defines her relationship with Nariyuki) in the anime and Sensei (glimpses of her past and a very important recurring family member who would have had to make an appearance by now to let the anime reach Sensei's beautiful arc). But no. You cannot have those because the director decided to give Fumino the center stage. Of course the anime forums will treat Fumino as the main heroine. As for the bots, perhaps you do not frequent MAL so that's why you are asking. I don't have to prove MAL being full of bots. Everyone knows. Even Violet Evergarden gaiden stats are manipulated by bots. Look what has happened to Chihayafuru S3 this year. The bots issue has been there for several years now. But in the last few years it has gone out of hands. Anime rankings/scores are botted. Character faves are botted. Character polls are botted. Episode polls are botted. Reviews being helpful are botted. The mods couldn't handled it so now the issue has been taken to the site developers. |

| Another Fumino centered episode, I'm glad Fumino and her father finally made up. I am also glad that Nariyuki and Fumino's relationship got improved |

| I cried when she said she'd name the star after her dad in the video. That was so touching and sweet |
  |
| The farewell message of Fumino's mother was as amusing as it was touching. At least things turned out well for Fumino, despite a decade of meandering. |
| Oh yeah, we're getting toradora's style of development here, hope we also get the same kind of ending! Fumino ship from start to end! |
| Best girl, nice arc |
 |
| Ouch. As someone who is kinda more hoping for Uruka and Naryuki, this episode didn't do them any favors. Even so, it was a nice watch and I'm really happy for Fumino. I was actually drawn into this arc so I don't mind at all. Really, there haven't been too many harem anime that have made me think, "No matter the result, I'll just be happy for all the girls". I'm really pleased with Bokuben. I'm really glad I gave this series a chance. ;A; |

| Best arc so far in this anime, I really hope to see Fumino admit to herself that she is interested in Yuiga and that her supporting her friends won't her back So far she has the most romance points with Yuiga from what I've seen so far |
 |
| This is the best episode of the show, I actually shed tears. Fumino's issue hit me hard personally. Fumino is best girl. But I can't choose for Nariyuki, he's his own person so I am completely fine with whatever choice he makes. |
 |
| Pretty good conclusion to Fumino's arc. I'm glad that we know the reason why she choose to study Astronomy making her one of the best-written characters in this anime. I also appreciate that his reconciliation with her dad was quite normal, not so dramatic but also not so funny not to take it seriously. Very balanced. |

| Amazing episode, I love Fumino, shes so damn cute! |
 |
| Best girl Fumino FTW 💜 . Hoping that Nariyuki and Fumino will be together im the end 😭 |
 |
| I'm glad that Fumino got two full episodes dedicated to her, but on the other hand the half episode for Uruka feels even more pitiful now ;_; |
| it was all too convenient |
  |
| Agreed, these last two episodes as a mini arc really delivered way above everything else the series has done, and made me understand the characters struggles better, since I always felt they were just going in the opposite direction of their talents solely for the sake of others existing they were not good for that and should give up and focus on their talents instead... this is NOT the case for Fumino. She is not doing it to contradict and make a point, despite having talent for something (it is real, the word exists, not everything is solely effort), it is genuine love and passion that is behind, nothing else matters. Amazing episode, way higher in content both meaningful and silly adorable, than everything else the series done this far. |
 |
| My Fumino ship from ep 1 finally pays off with this arc! And we finally get some real character development in the last 3 episodes or this season. |

| I was genuinely thinking that the star name would be her mother's name, but the father's was unforeseen. Interesting that the video had everything needed to solve things, which took ten years |
