The kidnapping felt so out of place. Out of the blue, a random kid hands Subaru a phone...it rings and a voice tells them that Kureha and Kanade have been kidnapped. Talk about squeezing a plot...lol Just stick with comedy and showing lovely shots of the girls.

True this needs to stay ecchi/romcom, no need to force additional plot.

That kidnapping was way too obvious and came in a really weird timing. But everything else about the episode was great!

And I just love Kanade.

WTF? Is Suzutsuki a Yuri or something?

Also Suzutsuki is really good character to me i would love to see Suzutsuki x Kinjirou but it is rather impossible cause all anime is based about Subaru x Kinjirou

I agree, she makes all these wacky situations happen and is funny while doing it.

Mayo Chiki is looking good so far, loving the jokes. Didn't feel the kidnapping part too much but I thought Jirou saving the kid drowning was a great scene.

Just making sure, did Subaru perform a CPR to Jirou?

I'm pretty sure she did. I wonder why they bypassed that moment since usually first kiss is really a big matter in anime xDD

Possible, but it didn't seem like it.

And where was the lifeguard in all this really??

I didn't understand what you were trying to do.....I was staring at both pictures for like 5 minutes until I got it....

Good work man....I can't believe you spotted that!
I got it too. Wow they blurred that good though. Well I am happy there are stitches out there of Kanade swimsuit. That was like good.


Why would they do that?

Oh my god so did not expect that. why would Japanese animators know about western fanart? of Death Note too...

Dammit Konoe, why must you be so cute?! >w<
This episode was all sooo cheesy, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Moral of this episode: Girls are still scary!

Next one is looking crazy! xD

By the way: did someone else notice Kureha looks just like Akane from Kimi ga Nozomu Eien? Took me this long to notice. ^^

What, no emotional scene where they yell at Kanade for making hem worry so much and that toying with people's emotions and deepest fears isn't a game? Quite a waste.
Otherwise kinda meh episode.
I hope Kanade will end up liking Jiro for real and that Subaru will let her girly voice out more in future episodes.

Swimsuit episode already?

Characters are continuing to be shallow and fake.

Even though I said I'm dropping this at episode 1, I wonder why I got this far. I must've been really bored.

Another fun episode, this show is so entertaining. Even if I already knew what would happen beforehand. And so, in this episode, the anime has caught up with the manga, ch. 5. (Although this episode has already been out a long time, and actually, in the episodes after this, the anime has already long overtaken the manga, as of this post).

I am impressed with how close the anime adapted the same events in the manga, again, it's like watching all of chapters 4 and 5 come alive with movement, sound and color. I know that both the anime and the manga are based off the light novels, though, and this happened in the manga, so at least this isn't your typical pool filler anime-original episode.

I don't know if it was explained clearly in other subs, but in the manga, during the scene where young Kinjirou has a talk with his father, the phrase "stand by me" is connected to the "Kin" character in Kinjirou's name, that's why his father Jirou was telling Kinjirou to live up to his own name and be able to say "stand by me" to those he should protect.

A bit of information about the sheep motif in this show: Sheep in Japanese is "Hitsuji", while Butler is "Shitsuji", hence the wordplay, and the sheep - butler connection with Subaru.

Swimsuits are all nice, and Subaru is not a defective butler, just a defective swimsuit wearer, well, I guess she ahs to keep her chest under wraps for now!

This episode also had excellent action with a magnificent save by Subaru of chicken shit as follows,


Chicken shit? :/
He wasn`t a chicken at all in that scene, he tried to stand up to the kidnapper who had a knife.
Just like how the M guy in MM did at some point too :p

I was sure Konoe gives Jirou CPR. She's even blushing when Jirou asked her what happened when he's unconscious. And Konoe's dad really funny~

I agree >=3...he should be punished for what he's done to poor Subaru! Let's just call Kanada over and she'll think of something XD

actually i applaud him for doin that. finally a MC that stands up (albeit in a different way) besides she can handle it.

This anime is just fun to watch.
Many unexpected turns, though the characters act too random to be at all realistic.
Actually surprised how fast their relationship is progressing.

I'm gonna make some assumptions here about the light novel.

Since you can't see or hear the characters, gender ambiguity probably works a lot better. Also, it feels like there should be more stuff going on between episodes and events. Things are moving quite fast, which is fine for a 12 episode show, but I dunno. First episode had the initial setup and the immediate reveal. Episode 2 had the date, and now we have a "kidnapping" and tearful hug at the end. Of course things go back to the status quo, but still, there's nothing really connecting the points.

And yes, I know this is supposed to be a comedy, but if it means anything, I'd like to enjoy Mayo Chiki more, so having things move so fast means less material to watch. It's not bad in any way, but I would like to see it do something more to make it stand out.

I wonder if Subaru was angry at the end for him dating Kana and really afraid of him laying his hands on her or just over jealousy that he was dating Kana in the first place.

Another sweet moment between Subaru and Kinjirou. It's kinda refreshing how fast they've fallen for each other and there aren't too much violence between them despite Subaru being a tsundere.

3 episodes in and i am liking the series so far. Didnt expect enjoying the cross dressing butler plot.
Konoe and kinjirou are good mcs with chemistry.
Hate the brat sister kureha with her stupid assaults on the boy and thank god konoe put her in place.
My personal favorite is kanade of course, she has all the traits and an interesting character both looks and personality wise. Love shes helping both konoe and kinjirou with their problems and cares for them while having fun.
I have a feeling she will fall for kinjirou in the future too lets see especially seeing how hes with konoe
