Lmao, that Kaiji reference. The expressions in this anime is gold.


Being part of the newspaper club, I guess it's not surprising Asunaro wants to interview Joro. Getting as much as info out of the guy would help her and the club. It's kinda funny how Joro finds it hard to keep himself together with the amount of drama going around him. Asunaro isn't letting any chance slip by to get details.

"Yare Yare daze"

-Them being somewhat assholes to each others to get what they want type of comedy
-Sudden shift in tone in the middle of a full on comedy bits
-Full usage of references from other known series
-Characters being self aware of its genre
Now I know why this series keeps me entertained and makes me laugh like a dumbass, because its comedy and its execution of it is literally like Gintama.

Welp somethings definitely fishy with Asunaro, is she actually into Joro? or is there something else she's after? maybe she hated seeing Joro that happy or something? guess we'll find out probably NEP.
Bench kun is back! fcking bastard never fails to give me both laughs and terror.

Overall another great episode, tho the lack of Joro and Pansy interactions bothered me, I need more Joro and Pansy banters!

Bench-kun strikes back.
Also - look at Pansy's eyebrows when Sakura was inviting Joro to talk to third girl - she was pissed.

Bench-kun lol. I was wondering when he will make another appearance but there he is.

It seems Asunaro is planning something. Thanks to the paper "accidentally" publish, Joro reputation is at a new low.

Oh Joro, you were so close to your beloved harem route hahah
So the article was accidentally published? Hmmm suspicious, we are missing a last piece to fit everything, although it is a bit clear what happens with Asunaro.

The motherf*cking KAIJI reference, this anime is a masterpiece on my eyes now don't @ me.

Boosting up score from 7 to 11/10.

Also, damn, Bench-kun made its return in all of its glory. It seems each time Joro thinks he's comfortable with it's position, Bench-kun returns to ruin his life XD

That chick that wrote the article probably likes him or something and thats why she published it.


But real talk, shouldn't she be fucking expelled for making an article like that?

Yare yare daze, the almighty bench-kun is everywhere.

That baseball game is apparently one of the most important events in anime history.

Fourth girl joins joro's harem. He truly is a rabu-come shujinko.

The plot for this show gets more convoluted every episode. I'm guessing that it was Pansy who caused the article about Joro & the 3 girls to be "accidentally" leaked, although not sure why just yet. I think she's got some long term plan to get Joro to fall in love with her, and it involves him falling for and getting heart broken by a number of different girls, then maybe he'll realise Pansy's true worth and choose her?!

It seems like a complicated way to go about things, but maybe there's a reason for her actions, we'll have to wait and watch!

Funny how Joro's expected confession ended up becoming a deadly trial. Thats quite the trial that Hina presented to Joro though prove you're not the king of the scums or be ridiculed by students and parents alike. Cosmo's really took the instruction of being strict to Joro to heart in her usual amusing way it seems. Even without the trial Joro really has quite the rep within the school already but man slipper man sure is quite the unique title. Even though the flower festival lineup was dealt with in surprising fashion the release of the article sure made Joro's rep plummet once more. While the article did cause the bonds between Joro and his friends to strain once more it also created an excellent opportunity for Hina to take responsibility and step in to help compensate though looks like Cosmo's is far from happy. Overall an excellent ep that did well to expand upon both Hina and Cosmo's characters while showing just how far Joro's rep can vary within the school. Curious on how Cosmo's character would develop from here though.

Ha ha, I loved the Kaiji reference with the Star Wars music when bench-kun made its appearance, lol.

Cosmos is such a fine looking lady, she also cracks me up with her acting out Japanese movie classics.

Ugh, I hope the first year doesn't show up more than necessary. We don't need a token loli character to distract us here.

One one hand it seems Asunaro got rid of the competition or at least did her best, probably one of the three main girls (not unlikely that it was Pansy again) saw through it and they agreed to pull away and observe. Same moves as with Sun-chan.
On the other hand, the surprise of this truth wouldn't be so shocking and dramatic (the bar is at the bench :D), thus I think next episode will pile a little bit on top of that and ep 7 or even 8 will reveal the story.

Also, could be this :D

:O What if Asunaro was stalking Joro from the start. Looked at ep 1 again, noticed Asunaro 'randomly' noticing Pansy and Joro in the library together. Tsu-ma-riii... she leaked those stories from the library to the first year students, to try and get the spot as the third dancer. *fake Conan face - imagine something like fake Luffy*
I'm going to resist looking into the manga to avoid seeing how much further am I drifting from the truth ;D

Soo here comes the twist. Another one. I guess?
Asunaro is pretty annoying up to now imo
The whole situation doesn't really make that much sense to me too, but not like logic always plays a big role in anime

Pretty random that the whole first year body fears Joro lol. Thr expressions and references were also gold this episode

Me like harem route, but Cosmos-dono best grillfriend so far, gozaru. (as on state after current progress in the story).

Also brilliant references in this show, like yare yare daze, Kaiji thrilling moment, Bencho-kun return and English spamming.

Not a fan of this arc and it's a little bit obvious who's behind all of this but still those references and the random English are killing me, I'm liking this adaptation even more than the manga although it feels a little bit rushed compared to it. Still, even if it's rushed this chapter felt a little bit boring so I'm not against them skipping some stuff to keep things interesting and to prevent the anime to fall into melodrama territory. With the next episode we finally pass the manga so I'm hyped for what the next arc will bring us.

PD: Bench-kun's evil theme is back yet again. Glorious. Also yare yare daze.

I love how everyone is talking about the Jojo and Kaiji reference, but am I only one that heard the Darth Vader Theme playing during the bench-kun scene with Asunaro??

That shit was gold. Also love how bench-kun was placed in the middle of the whole roof..

Not sure if I trust Asunaro so far.. She's cute but something seems off. Even Cosmos is shadowing Asunaro.

Well, it is obvious, even at this stage, that Pansy is going to be the one who triumphs in the end. But Cosmos is the best for me. She's definitely onto what is happening. She's taken herself out of the limelight but the last scene shows that she has worked out what is happening. She's a great character.

This will becoming more exciting and more interested in coming next episode... Although there are lots of scene that cut out from the manga including the dance practice between joro and panji inside the library that they exchange joro and asuno dance at the top of the building...

Anyways I expected the next episode is more revelation and more enterogation between asuno and cosmos that asuno will become a first victim to become a new rejected squad member...

Asunaro is so shady....

I bet she planned all this shit so she could have Joto for herself

Why is Joro so innocent at the end of the episode though? He spent good portion of the episode lusting over Asunaro himself but by the end feels like he lost interest.

$10 says that Asunaro has been planning every single aspect of this because she's in love with Joro and wants all other girls to lose interest in him so she has him all to herself.

Damn, girls are so awkward in this show.. I dont mind them being "unrealistic" since its Anime but dang.. its going way too far and pretty much anything they do is ridiculous... to a point where Im not sure if I actually still like to watch this, even though I liked it a lot in the beginning :/
Btw this comes from a guy who enjoys the Ecchi tag a lot which can go with a lot of weird scenes... so yeah, its that ridiculous..
