Even at someone her size, I like how Hiyori always stands up for her friends.

Pretty chill episode without any big musical performances this time but still makes its point about friendship, connections, and determination to succeed. Hiyori really is the type of person to help others and isn't afraid to take risks. The boys are lucky to have her around.

When I was thinking Hiyoko should trim her eyebrows before haircut and makeup, she got them trimmed in the next scene without any notice.

Although it was revealed that Nagisa was actually a boy at the end of the episode, last week's preview had spoiled all the effort already.

We got some boy shower action this week.

It was fine as it was when our potato heroine looked the way she did, but i guess now that she's the manager she needs to represent a bit more. Also, Hiyori should return her women card if she needs a dude to teach her how to put makeup on lmao.

And the blonde part of the honeyworks-verse in this show is expanding. THEY DID THE SONG !!!! AT THE END !!!!

OH!!! That's Yoyogi Park.
Transformed Hiyori was looking pretty cute. However, I still prefer her former haircut.

Aizo and Yujiro are both the same bickering idols, while Potato Girl Hiyoko is becoming a better manager, though still in training. But I must say that Hiyori is truly fearless when she just walked into the men's showers just to pass shampoo lols.

The crew is going to FullThrottle4's concert, and Hiyori has her old friend Nagisa who's a hardcore FT4 fan. But Hiyori being Hiyori, she really has no fashion sense, and would rather not doll up to be her ownself in track. And saving this cute and blonde girl (of which there're many in the HoneyWorks-verse) from a creep and enjoying crepes, Hiyori and newly-crowned idol Mona Narumi become acquaintances from their first meeting.

But it's clear that she has to get in style to turn from a bit to a Heroine (which the topic is in line with the HoneyWorks series), and the two disguised idols help her out extensively, only if she puts in the effort for change. And what a change it is for Hiyori to look very vutesy different, starting from her hair, trickling down to her new outfit and even to makeup and stance just like a heroine princess.

Welp, the Heroine princess still has aways to go, and her childhood friend Nagisa sure is a frazzled dude. The special HoneyWorks ED crossover is a surprise.

Oh my god this was such a great episode. From Hiyori being totally unfazed about going in the men’s shower, to her sticking up for the girl getting harassed to her finally starting to care about her appearance. I’m really happy how she’s growing because of her job. Her new look looks great, love the short hair cut, dress and make up.

Mini Childhood friend love arc coming up? Next week should be fun.

Sometimes I wish Hiyori would have more sass, after the shower scene would be good a sassy response from her.

Hiyori have a strange natural magnetism to attract idols.

Being a manager's almost like being a mother lol. Its always a good idea to see how your peers within the industry are doing. Much can be learned from simple observation. Its nice to see Hiyori be more conscious about her style though. Seeing Sena here was a pleasant surprise. As was seeing Hiyori meet Mona as well. But it sure was fun seeing Aizou and Yuujirou stake Hiyori out not to mention take charge of giving her a new style as well. Have to say by changing her hairstyle and wearing cuter clothes Hiyori become twice as cute. Looking forward to seeing how Hiyori deals with the rivalry between Nagisa and the idols though. Love the new ending theme by Inori and Momo who voices Hiyori and Hina. Overall a fun ep that while welcoming some old friends into the show also did well to improve upon Hiyori's character while simultaneously improving the bond between her and her charges gradually.

Wow, that was some change for Hiyori! Credits to Someya and Shibasaki for going out of their way to help her. Lol @ the childhood female friend assumption, looks like "she" will bring some spice in the coming episode...

Idol Mona from the HoneyWorks universe is here too? I'm curious to see if they'll include more characters now. By the way, things seem to be progressing like a certain MV. More on it in the spoiler section below.

I admire the translator for not assuming Nagisa gender and use his full name evey time until Nagisa appear. Other translators are tempt to use him/her instead. If it's correct assumption then it's a spoiler, if it's not correct then it's a mistranslation.

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Ah so another character from Honeyworks-verse were also coming here with the additional Sena and Mona to the scene. They were cute indeed and i may need to see their respective separate anime, just in case i miss something about them, if i have a spare time....

Another well noticed part is where Hiyori mentioned about Hina love interest. Sweet reaction from her kinda be the reason why i love the end of the movie. Though, i may be honest that the movie visual and animation still superior compared to this.

Alright back to Hiyori time of transformation, it's still funny how the misunderstanding plot being used okay enough here. Imagine if they already know Nagisa was actually their rival. The end game must be something else. Hiyori lack of delicacy also worth enough to be noticed. But at the end, she still can be looking that cute, with the help by Minorin power of cute voice for sure.

Even if its not really matter. But still, im rooting Nagisa for the sake of drama. So, lets go, childhood friend, you can do it!

Happy she got to feel like a heroine after always feeling like an extra. Also I’m always alone in my second male lead favoritism, but I hope Nagisa is nice for her. I technically can’t pick between the two so I pick him haha

They definitely gave Hiyori a big glow-up, I really do love the look, I’m still a fan of her normal attire but this is a nice change, hopefully that’s not the end of potato mode tho lol. And the reactions to seeing Nagisa were great, definitely an “oh no he’s hot” moment.

There were also some great moments throughout the episode, Hiyori waltzing right into the men’s room, Hiyori calling everyone cute, Aizou and Yuujirou basically saying “all women are queens” lol, and the addition of Mona is nice, hoping we see her again. Also the new ED was very good, I think I like it slightly more than the first one, hopefully it isn’t just for this episode.

Not only that, but I wonder if the Chutan reveal (if its going to be done in this series), will also be quite dramatic.

They really transformed Hiyori, well, they really know more about taking care of the female appearance than her being a woman and they really made her prettier, and then they didn't expect this one to be a man in the end.

Ah well, its reasonable to safely assume (including them) that all their hardcore fans of these idol groups are girls after all. Wouldnt you, assuming you're male, you're a hardcore fan of Boyzone, Westlife, etc , when these boy bands were all the rage amongst the girls?

Hiyori was already cute, but holy hell, now she's uber-cute. I really love her new look. While our boys still got a sharp tongue, they 100% got our girl's back, nice to see them get closer.

Lmao Hiyori just casually walking into the men's shower with that glorious background music

Mona's cool, I hope we get to see her again, though it was probably just a cameo, based on my understanding of the Honeyworks universe.

That's the most Junya Enoki looking character ever lmao, good luck Nagisa! Looking forward to the next episode.

Hiyori has that secret chad energy. She walks in the men's washroom with no problem to get an idol his shampoo. No shame or perve energy, just a girl doing her job.

Also her outfit and new haircut really does it for her, she really does look like a heroine now.

(srry for my English) I know it's just an anime but this episode made me feel really uncomfortable..
Hiyori already looked cute before so why force a woman to be feminine when she feels comfortable and good with her actual clothes ? At least Hiyori likes her new look so It's good for her. But what I'm trying to say is that wearing a regular sweat can't stop you from becoming a heroine..., because you can look all fancy but also have no self-esteem.
As a girl who doesn't bother to wear make-up and a big fan of LIP x LIP, I am disappointed.

As a girl who also doesn't wear make-up, I could understand your point of view. However, I think what the anime is trying to show is that at first Hiyori goes with casual look not because she likes it, but because she thinks the cute outfit doesn't fit her or she doesn't "deserve" to be cute. I like the talk between Mona and Hiyori. With the talk and the help of LIPxLIP boys, Hiyori learns that she could become a heroine, she could wear cute things and make-up. Next, after realizing that she could wear anything she wants, hope that Hiyori will be truly happy with any style. I have a feeling that she's gonna return to the casual style (at least for daily life) with new confidence. If not, I'll really miss it.

Hmm.. I see. Well that may be true. Thank you for your kind and respectful response :) I'm still kinda sad that neither Hina nor Mona complimented Hiyori back when she said that they were pretty. They could have told Hiyori she was also very cute. I've been told as a kid to always compliment people back (in all honesty ofc) so yeah that confused me because It was clear that Hiyori felt unsecure, some positive comments would have helped her..

THE NARUMI SISTERS ARE HERE ^^

As a HoneyWorks fan, I was so excited to see Sena and Mona! I thought I saw Mona in the preview for episode 6, but I was still so excited when she came on screen. I didn't expect Sena, so that was a nice surprise.

Mona is my favourite HoneyWorks character so I'm really looking forward to more of her in this series, and Sena too! And who knows, maybe more characters from the HoneyWorks-verse?

Nice ending song too! I'll be honest I didn't know it was Sena's song but it felt like it was some crossover and turns out it is ^^

Hiyori looking at people and going "ahh so cute" is very cute haha. That talk between Hiyori and Mona is nice, she is gaining more friends yay. I will wait for a surprised reaction later when she realizes that Mona is another popular person lol.

The second part was very fun with Aizo and Yuujirou helping Hiyori with dressing up. Why were they fighting over who will pay, please T_T That comment from Nagisa of Hiyori not fit for cute clothes is likely a case of "I cannot compliment my crush honestly". Listening to Hiyori talk about Nagisa was amusing because it does not need gendered pronouns + Nagisa is a feminine name so the reveal to Aizo/Yuujirou was funny ww

She's so brave. ;__; I can hardly even go in the men's bathroom without ducking into the stall.
Wuh, she's like, "I'm gonna be a cute heroine!" She's already a cute heroine. ;__;;; Oh! New ending! I did like how cute and stylish the last ED was, but this one's cute too. It reminded me of Anne of Green Gables with Anne and Diana a bit!

...I'll be honest, I liked how she looked before, and I don't know if it's because my head is screaming "why change??" which makes me feel like I'm automatically biased. I mean you can be a heroine in your own way and within your own comfort. But what I think doesn't matter, if that's her idea of what it means for her to be a heroine, then that's fine. What she feels is the only feeling of importance. I hope she likes this style and hopefully she's enjoying herself in it! In the end, she's still the same, wonderful Hiyori, and that's what matters the most.

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria
