More moments between Takuya and Mio this episode but Jesus Christ, her dad has a shotgun?! Yeah, that was awkward.

There's still a sense of mystery but the episode had some of those cringy humor. Of course Mitsuki would suspect that Mio may be in love with Takuya.

Alright, cool. I actually wasn't expecting to jump into Mio's arc right after Ayumi's, but I'll take it!


Mio is one of my favorite characters from the visual novel, and I'm hoping you will see why in the next few episodes. Unfortunately the development was a little bit rushed and it still feels like they're combining certain scenes that happen one-on-one in the visual novel to save time, turning them into conversations between multiple people - but it's actually working out fine and isn't negatively impacting the plot progression.


That scene with Yuuki waiting outside the school, and then you just see him collapsed on the ground with his head down... LMAO RIP


I think the comedy and crude humor in this is well executed seeing as it was a big part of the original visual novel. It doesn't take away from the serious atmosphere with how well timed it is in my opinion.


The atmosphere in general is just stunning. I know I've kinda been bashing the animation (or lack thereof), but the art is absolutely incredible. Tons of detail in characters, backgrounds, and their expressions.


This episode managed to pack in a lot of content without feeling too rushed, and was pretty fantastic! Again, my only complaint is that unlike the visual novel, we haven't seen much of Mio up until this point, so the progression between her and Takuya feels a bit rushed, but at least it still feels natural.

Lol Mio's dad with shotgun tho, how come he didn't see takuya's shoes at the door or maybe they were kept somewhere else

So its Mio's arc now, cant wait for more lewds if there are any.

I think the nurse teacher might have something to do with mayor's denouncement or maybe it was yuki.

Suddenly Mio route... but I liked it.

This series is really getting better with each episode and this one was certainly one with the best direction so far, music included - it had the beginning, the middle and the end, it contained both drama and romance and there were also many implications and hints for the the future developements (including Kanna).

Seems like they are joining the routes again but this time it worked really well. The interchange between Mio and Mitsuki was pure gold. We might have missed the scene on the beach but at least we got Mio at the changing room and Takuya's escape. It would be really nice to see how Yuuki reacts on all this.

Some fanservice shots :D

The conversation when Takuya was carrying the injured Mio was a lot better in the game. They talked about more interesting subjects and there was a more natural balance between Mio's tsun-tsun and dere-dere moments. The way she originally became increasingly tipsy from drowsiness was cute as well.

They mixed many things together again. But this time it worked surprisingly well.

Btw. I really like Mio's modern character design way more.

For the overall plot of the show, a whole lot of nothing happened

All they did was double and triple down on things I had already suspected were happening.

1) The fact that Mitsuki and Takuya have probably boned (still no definitive proof that they have)

2) The fact that Ryuzoji is probably doing something to Mitsuki

3) The fact that Mio's dad is probably corrupt

4) The fact that Mio likes Takuya.

None of these were exactly huge revelations, we've had hints of them from pretty early in the show.

I don't feel like the episode name is appropriate here. The indication is that small fries like Mio, Takuya and Yuki don't know what the big fries like Ryuzoji is doing....but this episode didn't really explore that aspect. This was more about Takuya's relationship with Mio and Mitsuki.

The episode made me want a massage chair.

I wasn't expecting Mio's arc. I thought her's would be the final one, so the anime pulled a fast one on me.

Yeah, with how episode 7 went, I thought for sure we'd be getting Mitsuki/Eriko's arc this time!

I've always been a sucker for tsunderes and Mio is no exception! I also think that her and Takuya are well suited for each other seeing the chemistry between and also that they share similar interests. I never played the VN but I am familiar with it so I'm looking forward to what's next in the future.

So does this ep suggest that Mitsuki and Takuya had some doing (know what am saying??), but ya know I you also happen to watch the hentai version, there is a part there where Tajuya and Mistsuki were indeed fuck buddies , oh and in the hentai version Mitsuki was actually Takuya's teacher.....byw Kanna was actually a whore but there is something else.

So we're on episode 8 now, still I just can't get a laugh from the "jokes". They're so dry and cringey that I actually get annoyed instead. Infact the only time I laughed so far was stepmoms suicide montage.


Idk, I thought the shotgun scene and the massage chair scene were both freaking hilarious. There was heavy comedy in the original VN so it makes sense that they'd be keeping that aspect here.

The second cour, however, changes tone pretty dramatically and you won't see many, if any stupid jokes.

Great episode, mixing a bit of soft perverted content (massage suggestion, Takuya entering Mio's changing room) and also a bit of mystery investigation. Though I'd like to learn more about the relation between him & the other woman ? Maybe it was said before meaning I forgot...

Kanna mysterious as always, it's like she is in the show but not really in... guess we need to wait to learn anything about her.

And the last scene with the denouncing paper must be something created by Kaori, for sure ! In this world, I guess she didn't end up in jail after breaking in Geotech's buildings.

In this world, that wouldn't have happened yet anyway. Remember Takuya's dad said he was being sent all the way back to the beginning.

As for Takuya's personality. It's obviously exaggerated, but I think it's probably a result of not knowing his mother, and having a father that spent most of his time researching and no time with his son. It seems like he is seeking attention, he seems to have had a fling with Mitsuki, and I do think he does, or at least at one time did care for her. His flirty with Eriko is also probably for attention. It's hard to tell in the anime, if he has romantic feelings for Ayumi, or if he just saw her as family. Maybe he likes the older women because he never had a mother.

If his flirty is misogynistic, I guess Kaori throwing him to the ground and proclaiming she wanted to pop a virgin's cherry is also misandry.

We're 8 episodes in and I'm still not invested in this show. I don't know why, but it's just not grabbing me for some reason. People keep saying the last 10 episodes will be truly great, but honestly I don't think I even care about it. The whole island thing and all these other clues like the elf girl, the time travel mechanic, the mc father; they just aren't interesting in the slightest. I tried giving this a chance but I may have to drop this for now. I'm really bored with it and felt like I been forcing myself to watch it hoping it gets intense but it's not.

It sucks because I really want this show to prove me wrong, but it's just painfully average at best. Another thing I am kinda disappointed by is the artsyle. It feels so generic and bland to me and doesn't have a distinct style to it for the type of mystery it's trying to be (which is failing pretty horribly at). I will keep checking out everybody's thoughts weekly to see if things pick up, but honestly I'm starting to lose faith in this show.

Good episode, what a good anime. It does not bore me at all, I say it with sincerity.
It has the excellent touch of mystery, drama and comedy xD.
1. Has Takuya really lost her virginity with Miss Mitsuki? I need an answer 😅 "I was a virgin before I met you, sex changes a boy, you know?" 😂
2.Ken no Misaki, Mount Sankaku, the Takanoamahara Village. What?! I wonder if the Takanoamahara will be the village of the elves.
Mio is very thorough in her research, thanks to that she is about to discover something big. It's a pity that her father, the mayor, is corrupt and that because of him, she has to leave her city and her precious investigation.
3. Wait, then, Takuya and Mitsuki have been hypnotized by Ryuzouji ?. If that is the case, perhaps Takuya unwittingly betrayed the mayor with the authorities on the corruption issue with the construction company Geotechnic. Although, most likely, Yuki, his friend, was the one who betrayed them by listening to the matter while Mio and Takuya talked about it, and also hearing that Mio is in love with Takuya (which is quite obvious). I would not be surprised if Yuki did it out of spite, although I hope to be wrong. I also suspect the bitch journalist, in a scene it is observed that he was spying on them.
4.Takuya uses the reflector device wisely, how? Well, to pass your math exam. LOL.
5.jajajajajaja, and when Takuya was in Mio's room and saw her half-naked, I could not stop laughing. His father almost killed him. LOL 😂.
6. Oh, I forgot! Why the hell Kana, apparently, has a relationship with that old man?
Well, I'll be waiting for the next episode. This is getting very interesting.
