Poor Nukumizu, haha. He's too kind-hearted, and everyone misunderstands him, but I think that's better for him; otherwise, everyone would take advantage of his kindness. Shikiya appeared again, and although she can be a bit creepy for never blinking, the fan service she provided was very good.

Imagine working for a month, and when the end of the month arrives, expecting your beautiful salary only to be paid entirely in noodles—that's a disgusting company. I love how Nukumizu's sister is; she cares so much about her brother and helped him a bit in that situation so he wouldn't look like a pervert.

Tagisan... I mean, Chihaya is very dazzling. Now we'll see how Nukumizu resolves this misunderstanding or just accepts that this is NTR.

P.S.: I need that T-shirt.

man I started watching this show on a whim just to fill up my seasonal watch list but it’s slowly becoming my favorite of the season, I just love how all the characters interact with each other especially Nukumizu and Yanami to the point I honestly hope they stay as friends; I didn’t realize the NTR on his shirt at the end until I read some comments lmao I hope this gets cleared up next episode

that ED was amazing as well

So many things ran off the rail this episode.

Yanami visited Nukumizu's home for the first time because her father's salary this month was paid with noodles. She brought a full bag of noddles which translates to probably half a year to a year worth of noodle in a regular family. It looked like a lot until we saw the boxes and boxes of noodles in the club room. Somebody online even calculated that 300,000 yen translates to 150 kg of 祖母之絃 / 揖保乃糸 noodles. The screenplay at the club room was amazing! The first cut at 05:44 showed the regular 本日欠席 Absent Today board for Yakishio with an unassuming box on the bottom left corner. The second cut at 05:47 showed Tamaki talking with a box of noodles in front of him. At this point we could probably recognise the packaging and connecting dots – Yanami brought some of the noddles to the club as well. The third cut showed Nukumizu hearing with the similar boxes of noodles in front. The animator gave 7 full seconds for us to process this information and then at 05:54 the bomb dropped. The fourth cut zoomed out and showed all 20, 30 boxes of noodles occupying every available desk and chair. Yanami sitting behind two boxes of noodles subtly emphasised just how much noodles there were.

Weird happenings between Nukumizu and Shikiya with some very weird shots on droplets of water. The theme of this anime made me wonder if there were anything behind Shikiya's question whether Tamaki and Tsukinoki had a relationship. My first thought was maybe the student council would push on some weird requirements or tasks for the literature club. Immediately in the next scene Tamaki annouced that he received a task from student council. But the task wasn't really out of ordinary. And then when Nukumizu asked why now, Tamaki had an eye contact with Tsukinoki and Tsukinoki said the task wasn't new at all. If it were not this, maybe instead this meant Shikiya had or wanted to have a run on Tamaki or Tsukinoki? No idea.

And then in the next scene Yanami ascended (?).

After that in the school library with Nukumizu and Komari, Komari suddenly became frantic with her movements after receiving a message from Yakishio. She asked Nukumizu whether Yakishio had male siblings with flushed cheek for some reason. She wanted to ask more questions but stopped herself out of shyness. In the next scene when Nukumizu was with Yakishio, Yakishio also received a phone message and was excited about the message. It almost made me believe that this is a yuri pair, until later in the episode it is revealed that this message Yakishio received was probably not from Komari but from Ayano, but who knows!

Also, the unorthodox and totally out of the box scene on the tram, following by Yanami « 世界なんで 滅べばいい May the world end » really have some impacts, but it is really unnecessary because from the last episode we could see Yanami and Nukumizu was definitely not at this stage.

The only thing that made me feel unsatisfied is at 18:53 when both Yanami and Asakumo had dressed up but only Nukumizu was in his normal clothing.

Fun episode, overall I enjoyed binge-watching these 5 episodes, but I feel that the most entertaining parts were with Anna and his sister, the other girls are alright at most.
The direction still shines in some parts, mostly concerning Anna and how she can express herself, but this is far from being the best romcom this season, Roshidere will surpass this by the end. Unless the drama on this gets real and GOOD eventually, and I start to enjoy other characters as much, because as of right now, this is a very enjoyable show, but I don't get the hype (outside Anna's scenes).
It never gets hold seeing Anna reacting and spouting some really sus adjectives and insults to them homewreckers! xD

The premise was interesting at the start, but after that, since most characters don't hold for me, it is just okay, this anime would probably improve greatly if Anna was even a bigger focus since other heroines so far FAIL from coming even close.

I will come back to this after it finishes airing.

Episode 5 Discussion

Yanami giving away noodles because her father was given them as for his salary, and now she has a lot of them.

Komari started running with Lemon.

They are now on a mission to help Asagumo find out if Lemon and Ayano is cheating.

Ayagumo found Nukumizu and Asagumo inside a fitting room, and they have now some explaining to do.

Time for another episode of AOTS! This always improves my day. Episode started a little slow, but that second half made this one of the best eps yet. Poor Nukumizu getting dragged into a cheating conspiracy 💀

All the gooners talking about Yuki, but Nukumizu little sister is best imouto! She’s adorable and I love how she’s he and Anna’s biggest shipper 😂

Got a very brief introduction to Shikimiya who has such a pretty design and seems like she’ll be a great character.

Speaking of Anna, she was trying her best to put on an unbothered appearance about her crush and his gf, acting like she reached nirvana after reading that self help book. But that clearly came crashing down in the second half of the episode lmao. How does she even know they share a rewards card, girl please let him go there’s plenty of other fish in the sea. Channel that heartbreak into something productive

Like Komari has! Who would’ve thought she’d become an isekai LN author lmao. And it seems like her work is doing well which is great. She’s so autism coded, love her to bits

Second half of the episode I just felt bad for Nukumizu. Had to listen to Anna complain about a guy she was supposed to have let go like last episode, then his Yuri Mahou shoujo cave gets invaded and he gets dragged into a PI cheating sting with Mitsuki’s gf. And how does she have that massive GPS device lmao. But to make things worse, the cheat catchers end up looking like the cheaters 😭 that “NTR” ending was hilarious and I can’t wait to see how they resolve it next week.

The new ED is absolutely gorgeous as well. Wow one of the best this year
@Marinate1016 I don't think it was mahou shoujo. Judging by the description, this is one of those yuri bait sci-fi esper shows that were popular in the 00s.

@Marinate1016 I'm not trying to make an argument out of this, if that's what you're implied. But I actually felt like it was a poster for some actual title, given their reluctance to show the poster directly.

Im sure it is not cheating and there were some logical explanation. Especially because we did see Chihaya giving Mitsuki gift before so it either him trying to choose a gift for her and asking Lemon to help him or something in this field.

ANNA IN DISGUISE IS SO BEAUTIFUL, I WANT HER OMG ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️


The way she began to levitate out of nowhere was so fkng funny lmaoooo
The NTR shirt at the end was a funny joke too, but man, I really, REALLY, hope there isn't real NTR in this, at least not coming from the main girls...

I like Chihaya, I didn't expect to have a plot around her, she may be a bit crazy but she is funny and clearly a good girl.
The fact the 1st girls to ever go to Nukumizu's room are the one that "dumped" him, and this one random girl he doesn't even know was also really funny lol
His sister is also funny.

I wanna know why literally everyone at school thinks that Nukumizu sucks lol, there must be some backstory to that, and also why is his house like that? Is bro rich af or something?
And is it even legal to pay someone's salary in food instead of money???

The new ending is really good, I've read that there is another one in a couple of chapters, I like when animes change endings like this, but I'm sorry, nothing will top the 1st one, the MV was about Nukumizu and Anna, the couple that really matters here, and the singer is my beloved Anna's seiyuu, Hikaru Tono 💘, the only thing that could top it would be another song by her ❤️
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~

as soon as his sister showed up panicking and the shoes were seen, it became obvious what was going on. Some events are on speedrun in this series, Anna already visited Nukumizu's place, and her rant at the cafe was WILD. And it wasn't even the best moment... when another weird girl shows up (because Shikiya returning and doubling down wasn't clearly enough), the "embarrass a male kid with the anime posters in this room" made me laugh the hardest since the beginning of the series (still... poor guy, "defended" by the sister of all people in such a situation, and he was also spoiled on the plot too.)

ice cream specific from my nation, didn't expect it (like the train trip wild mood swing in animation too). But damn, they went full stalkers with that gps thing.

That's so stupid, why didn't the MC say right at the start how the boyfriend was showing around the gift Chihaya gave? That alone would decrease her suspicion.

On a side note, if Mitsuki wants to work with something related to books, why does he have to go to a cram school? And specifically be in an advanced course?

Anna knows where Nukumizu lives??? How much somen can you trade for leftover curry rice? Onlookers have more gossip to circulate after seeing Shikiya drinking from his bottle.
She was slamming that glass like it had alcohol in it. Just when she's ready to ask Nuku to make it look like she'sgot a boyfriend for her SNS, she spots Lemon with Mitsuki.
Of all of the disguises, a black sailor fuku...
He probably wants to get Chihaya a surprise present, so he needed Lemon for advice.
Nuku got into another misunderstanding
New ED marking the start of Lemon's arc.

Interesting way to get paid in noodles. Another good episode full of nice moments, the whole episode i think was spent stalking the lemons crush to see if he was cheating on his girlfriend but it was all just a huge misunderstanding Afterall. But Nukumizu getting caught with his girlfriend in the same changing stall (full clothed) is not a good look. Whole episode about Romance drama, very typical for a romance anime
