Oooh how daring Kyoutarou. Hugging Tsugumi in public just like that? Anyways, I think he is on the right track to become a shepherd by taking risks but still not quite there yet.

But hey, the one that really took the risky move is Nagi imo this episode with that kiss. Now I know Tsugumi won't forget what just happened.

So they'd forget all about him huh? Well that's been hinted at for a bit now so not too surprising. As have Kodachi's feelings. I still say she's the female lead and not Shirasaki.

Most of the episode was fanservicey fluff. I expect some gifs of Kodachi on the dancing machine to be made. :D

I'm in Shirasaki or Misono ship, I hope that this kiss was just one-timer.
But anyway, another nice episode.

The date with everyone, all those whispering about his type and those teasing.

O.o That shepherd work's back story!

Being forgotten is the price to pay for being a shepherd.

Kodachi kissing Kakei at the end!

Tsugumi is so bold; asking Kakei to go on a group date with all the girls. Shamelessly competitive.

Kakei opening his door to 4 different Kodachi was pretty funny! Tsugumi and Tamamo were totally showing off that they can be good housewives.

Liked the group date part; not because the girls were extra cute while getting some alone time with Kakei, but how none of them were jealous when observing from afar. Even though it was a request to find out what type of girl he prefers, girls getting jealous when the MC is spending time with different girls is very natural.

Lol'd at Kakei concentrating on Kodachi's assets, rather than the dancing contest! I don't blame him. That was boring anyways.

Saving Tsugumi from future disgrace, Kakei's awkward hugging was hilarious! That Android #18 reference though. XD

Poor Ikkei.. Totally the Iwaizumi of this show with the awareness that he's being ignored by everyone. *Sigh..

Looks like normal people tends to forget anything that's related to Shepherd after a while. That kinda sucks, because I would've preferred Kakei as a secret Shepherd, helping people from behind the scene.
Kodachi acting all tough about what it means to be a Shepherd, just before breaking down in tears that she'll be forgotten by Kakei when she becomes one. That kiss was quite sudden too!

I think none of them will end up being the Shepherd though. Spending times with friends and building good memories are more important.

Good episode. Ikkei complaining about being treated poorly in the PV was LOL! Why can't he get just one girl? >.<

Personally i always thought that Sakuraba was the best girl but now i am starting to root more for Kodachi.
I think she is a better girl then the rest and she seems lonely and that last scene seemed to confirm this.

She seems so focused on becoming a Shepard that she is forgetting what's importuned, and it's clear that she has some feelings for Kakei.
Guess there was a reason why they where put together.

Wow, this episode really impressed me. I am literally so surprised. I had written this off as absolute garbage and this episode just turned it around with solid consistent humor, a good script and a well structured pace.

It's too bad the first 6 episodes in my mind were terrible (not so much the concept but the overall execution was awful). Hopefully, this episode is the start of a turnaround. If they can keep up with this level execution this show may jump from a 4/10 to anywhere around 6 or 7/10

I suspect we might be on the Kodachi route, and this will end with both Kakei and Nagi being both lovers, and Shepherds together.

I have noticed that this anime makes all the chicks go for the MC because of his love to read and book collections.

So does having like a manga and comic collections count? Will that help me get a harem? If they see me reading it, will that get me on their good side?

Probably not. But! If you want to turn peoples (girls?) heads, try pretending to read BL and if they ask about it say "I'm straight, just that the thought intrigues me." and prepare for squeals.

A decent looking man wouldn't have any trouble. Until some seven foot dude comes up and grabs some cheeks.

Anyway, Senri FTW! I love characters like her.

I completely agree. It's always hinting at someone's feelings but nowadays there aren't many actions like kissing or embracing, this was a nice touch in the episode, definitely one of my favorites just for that kiss with the tears~

I dropped this anime in the first episode, continued it in the third ep after reading some of the eps discussion, I have to say that the way the story laid out hits the right spot most of the time. It's not overly done or downright boring.

That forced kiss at the end though. Damn.

A date with everyone eh, Kakkei? Grabbing all of them wouldn't be so bad. Tsugumi #18 is a good name for a love doll. The other girls sure are daring when it comes to Kakkei. But wait, I thought Shirasaki is the main female character in this? Kodachi is showing more of her personal side than usual. The kiss was nice though.

ahahahahah I accidentally watched this episode before episode 6 without noticing. Ended up getting through the entire episode before noticing. Went back and watched episode 6 after I heard them mention a kiss i didn't remember...

It's pretty ironic, what little expectations I had for this show dissappeared when the first scene we saw of Misono was of her behind... but I have to say that she's pretty cute. Guess I'm a sucker for the short purple hair characters. There's no way they would go with her ending though.

I'm not sure Kodachi kissing Kakei changes much of anything for me. How many other shows have had one or more girls kiss the main character before he finally gets with the one girl that hasn't kissed him? This could just be a ruse to throw us off the obvious route with this show's poster girl. Personally, none of them seem all that interesting to me. Sure, they seem nice enough and all of the girls are cute, but most if not all characters are like that nowadays. Kodachi does have an interesting past (involving kakei?) it would seem, but I'm not fond of her character; she seems to be conniving when she makes the other girl's think Kakei and her have something going on between them. It is sad that she's choosing becoming a shepherd over her feelings for Kakkei, but that manipulative side (which seems to make her a good fit as a shepherd) takes away this appeal in my mind. I'm not saying she's a bad character; I guess she's a character that doesn't suit me well. It is nice that they have opened things up; it is hard to tell exactly what they'll end up doing with this show even now.

Possible, but I don't think it's likely. As shepherds it seems that you devote yourself to helping others, so there wouldn't be much room for romance of any sort. That is how I see it at least. Plus, in the scenes where they go to the library, none of the other shepherds say a single word to one another. The people that speak are Kakei, Kodachi, and their mentor, and that is for obvious reasons. Although, perhaps if he becomes a shepherd that will change her in a way that finally allows her to become one. At this point, best bets would be kodachi, tsugumi, or none. If this is a harem route... bad things will happen to my mind. (need to find my happy place now... crawl into corner...)

definitely supporting Kodachi after this ep. she just has so much more screen time to express her feelings for Kakei (production studio bias?).

it will be a tough decision if the other girls get their own "emo time". but for now the other girls are more like really close friends to Kakei.

poor Takamine tho~ the forever alone MC's only male friend position xD
