LOL at Shima's automatic response to the CPR! I also thought that Kae dreaming that she was being held by a cat was hilarious since she was actually being held by Asuma.

I thought this was an interesting ep for sure!

This episode shows what I dislike about Igarashi. He seems to be the most aggressive, pushing the relationship despite how uncomfortable Serinuma may be with it, and he seems to be the least interested in Serinuma's hobbies and the group itself.
agreed. hes also as generic as a male romance lead/option as it possibly gets.

sadly the shows made it pretty apparent so far who's going to win the harem

Igarashi is getting more annoying, Nana and Shinomiya are basically useless and I doubt Nishima will actually get somewhere. It looks like Senpai x Kae is sailing, hooray~
That was funnier than other episodes.

I dunno why you would think that. There is only one really likable male lead and he is gonna be the end game as he remained the best guy throughout the manga. I mean even his juniors kept on getting their turns but he remained the strongest contender in the manga from the start.

1. His behaviour never changed when it came to Kae from the very start
2. He is the most caring of all of the characters; it's not only Kae who receives his kindness
3. Kae feels like being herself the most when she is with him; and she smiles the most when she's with him
4. He never does anything that will make Kae feel uncomfortable or upset
5. He is the most accepting of everyone's personalities/interests; not only Kae's
6. Even the ever so confident Nishina considers him to be someone impossible to beat
7. He always says the right thing at the right time; he even gets angry at the right time
8. He has a laid back yet mature personality that goes so well with Kae
9. And the list can go on and on and on...

There's no beating Mutsumi. He wins in every character poll ever in existence by a landslide (not just here in MAL but also other non-japanese sites/forums, wikia, japanese sites; however, most importantly in Bessatsu Friend's readers' poll) and I think there's more than a reason why he wins in these polls by such a considerable margin.

Very funny episode with absurdity being taken to all time high. Sure there was an Igashima moment "there" but overall this was a Senpai episode, and man it really did deliver. From silly pillow fight (I laughed at both of them) to Senpai being caring of her, that was great.

Serinuma and her techniques and speech were absolute gold. And then there is the CPR who will forever remain in history as the most hilarious ever made due to fujoshi fantasies lmao.

Only regret I have is that it felt rushed.

i mean he's clearly the best lol.

but igarashi gets the most screentime and its pretty obvious from the directing that he is going to be the canonical winner (blushing scenes in the newest ep, him starting to love her even when she got fat again => signs of progression, which no other character has shown. mustumi has been great since day 1 but that means fuck all in the grand scheme of things), regardless of how fans feel. maybe the manga is leaving it more open ended but im pretty confident about where the anime is going if they do indeed go for a somewhat conclusinve ending.

Ah. I thought you meant Mutsumi when you said that. Such misunderstanding. Since I only see Mutsumi having all the good moments (I am blinded by his radiance!). Also, they just happen to be adapting the initial chapters that gave Igarashi a bit more exposure. Things are more balanced as the story progresses in the manga between the three characters (Iga, Nana and Shino).

As for the conclusion of the anime, the story will remain open ended because neither Brain's Base nor Ishiodori Hiroshi (director) has a track record of pulling an anime original ending with definite conclusion.

Ahh the episode I've been waiting for when I found out the manga is getting an adaption

To be honest, I was slightly disappointed by the pacing of this episode. It was too rushed, some funny lines were even removed. Though I'm glad this Mutsumi-dedicated episode gave enough justice for it. Mutsumi is definitely the most genuine person out of the rest of the group. I just wish that at the very end of the anime/manga, she'll end up with him and not with the aggressive and pushy Igarashi.. #TeamMutsumi ftw

I'm really into ship Mutsumi x Kae. Just look - he's perfect! He's kind, and, let's be honest, other 3 guys could do sth wrong while Kae had a fever. And Mutsumi? He's goddamn perfect, and not that agressive like Igarashi.

And I agree with others - I started hate Igarashi - he's way too pushing about Kae. And I hate all theese people who's making this anime, and also the author of manga, becouse they really following the original manga so...
The are like: "Look! Igarashi loves Kae, no matter if she's fat or not, look! Kae blushing when the are close, JUST LOOK AT HIM, HE'S PERFECT FOR HER ISN'T HE?"
HE ISN'T. He was like this from the start! Expect with blushing, but hey! Kae feels relaxed when she is with him!
They should give him more screen time, more episodes with him, HE SHOULD WIN, I think that like 70% of fandom is #TeamMutsumi goddamn

And, the scene with CPr was damn funny XDD

So sorry for my English, I'm just to emotional with this anime, and with Mutsumi, ugh.

Out of all the comments, this is my favorite.

I think most people are Kae x Mutsumi because he is just gold. As stated, Mutsumi never changed- he was friends with her and cared before Kae lost weight.

Whatever the case, I am anti Kae x ____ (Nanashima, Shinomiya and Nishina) as the first two care about Kae's looks over personality and are utterly rude IMO, and Nishina is too sneaky for my taste although she is the better of that group.

But I bet you noticed.

I didn't add Igarashi to the anti Kae x ___ list. I am on the fence. I like him, but I don't? I don't even know wtf I feel about him. He made progress (realized he didn't care how she looked, that he still loved her) when no others showed progress (Note: However, Mutsumi did not need to show progress because he was already top notch.) and he is sneaky and doesn't care about Kae's hobbies, but he still does put in effort (at the same time, they all do) but I don't understand why everyone is so mad because he puts his hand on hers? Why he makes moves? Obviously a relationship has to start somewhere. If Kae really said no, and he kept pushing, I would understand everyone hating him, but that isn't the case.

Still, I am Kae x Mutsumi.

Although, maybe it is Kae just rubbing off on me, but the moment that Mutsumi and Shinomiya get on the paddle boat and Shinomiya has the BA-DUMP I paired them in my head. And then I proceeded to think about how what a twist of events it would be to find that Mutsumi, who makes no advances on Kae and just seems to generally be friends with her, will end up being paired with a guy like Shinomiya. (I tried to find an image because it was just priceless but couldn't)

An Otaku pilgrimage to the grave of a samurai.

Shima wanted to go alone with Kae.

The supernatural part was weird. In the end they were on a drug trip.

But the "Yaoi" CPR was real.

Also nice moment with Mutsumi and Kae. But she thought it was a dream.

Seeing that part when Iga was on top of her by mistake then a pillow hit him aside for the other 3 to hit him with rage was hilarious. Kinda sad how it ends with them all thinking once again that everything was fake because of the mushroom (manga reader).

This episode reminded me heavily of Kancolle; Kanchu Ranbu is obviously a fiction in-joke of some historic Samurai remade in a Yaoi-heavy anime series.

The fact that the shrine that dedicates itself to the real person gets popular because of anime & the museum + anime references is likely how I imagine the current Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF, or the constitution friendly modern Japanese Navy) is like with the sudden explosion of Kantai Collection. It doesn't really help that JMSDF warships almost ALL utilize recycled names of their Imperial Japanese Navy counterparts (DDG-173 JDS Kongo, DDH-184 Kaga, DD-172 Shimakaze etc.). But I digress.

Kae should be thankful it was Mutsumi that washed up with her. Imagine if Nanashima or Shinomiya were in that situation. Igarashi would likely helped her, but given his aggressive nature, the room would have gotten 'hot' once Kae was stripped down...

well if he doesn't push it won't go anywhere, so he need to be bit pushy, with girl like her they would stay like this forever if they don't push, my point its the girls fault for not deciding

not shipping for any1 yet but usually the aggressive one wins with this type of girl cause the little aggressiveness makes a heart of a girl like her bound & makes her think about him more, if hes not 2agressvive then he wins (unless Author doesn't want it, but in real life he would win & pretty often romantic anime's have more reality then we expect) so there is high chance him winning unless he tunes hes aggressiveness 2much down

she feels uncomfortable cause she likes him back but doesn't know what to do & how she should behave, its first time guys have started paying attention to her in a romantic way so anything with that will make her feel uncomfortable & if all would w8 then nothing would ever happen she remains single & they remain single for life w8 her she needs a push

i envy him cause i could never be blunt aggressive like he is (& hes aggressiveness is little i have seen ppl who are more...) cause little bit aggressiveness is necessary in life

Though from this episode one would say that mutsumi senpai is winning, it's clear that igarashi is actually winning, bc sadly I also don't think the gay pair is going to win. And I'm pretty sure mutsumi is ace or just thinks of serinuma as a friend, bc with all of *that* happening and behaving so respectfully without being the least bit flustered then it means they're meant to be great friends. Mutsumi is still best boy tho.
