| Mami is bad news. That girl is dangerous... The main character ought to change his name to Kuzu and be over with it. No backbone whatsoever, even as her rental girlfriend stood out for him. On the other hand, Chizuru was amazing. |
DemonVlceChiefHT said: That dining scene was hard to watch. Why in the fuck did he just let Mami talk shit about him? Like even after your "girlfriend" stood up for you, you proceed to stand up for Mami, and fucking accept what she said, like holy shit, Kazuya, are you the first human invertebrate or some shit. Also, why is Mami even talking like that to him in the first place, yeah, he got another girlfriend after your ass left him, stay off his dick, and go find someone else too. Also that finale scene. She's all like "I had no idea you had such a manly side too you" and then proceeds to invite him to her house. I mean, It's so obvious that she is just trying to manipulate him, and I guarantee it, he's gonna fall for it, and probably get dumped again, or used. One thing the anime should put more emphasis on is that he's still in love with Mami (and he would do anything to get her back). One jerking off scene in his room wasn't probably enough to convey this thing to most of the viewers. The main character is meant to be unlikeable and hopeless in the beginning (and he still does pretty questionable things even in later chapters). I would even say it's on purpose to spark reactions like these. But he gradually changes through the time and while still acting silly at times, he can get his shit together and be dependable in times when it's really needed. |
| I do wonder how long is the MC is going to grow some balls, I thought he was pathetic but now I'm convince he is a bitter pathetic loser who don't deserve to be "save" by Chizuru all the time |

spring22 said: Cringe MC. Currently watching this for the waifus and the character development. Yeah "development" (2 years of serializations and just a minor development lol) Minor development ?? Oh god this is gonna be a painful ride even with the cute "waifus"...... |
spring22 said: RedChrome said: Minor development ?? Oh god this is gonna be a painful ride even with the cute "waifus"...... it is okay but not at the same level as bokuben and gotoubun kind of waifu manga/anime. the MC is such a beta I see well those guys are just idiotic but this one he is a bitter and ungrateful loser, so since he has little development I think it's going to be hard for me to enjoy this anime |

| Why this isn't a hentai! I really wanna see that main bitch banged so bad. |
| Gone from incredibly fun to infuriating in one episde... Wonder how's it all gonna turn up. |
 |
| The first episode was truly great and funny, but this episode...especially the dinner scene, was really hard to watch. I know that's his personality etc but watching her talking s** about Ichinose, and then she even left and he didn't go after her, fml. So hard to watch... The whole scene where he forgot that he had to visit his grandma, this is getting a little bit way too real. But that ending said it all, his ex is just manipulating him and he can't see that, while Chizuru clearly sees that. It was a great episode but it was still hard to watch, Chizuru is carrying this 100%. I do wonder how things would have ended if she didn't save him when his grandma came... Maybe that would help him man-up, while that doesn't happen he will continue lying. And it will be interesting to see how Chizuru will react to everything that's coming in the next episode... Almost forgot, the OP had a few tweets talking apparently about the mc and Chizuru, i do wonder if those were real tweets by someone from the anime or they were made up for the OP. |

"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Yikes. If Kazuya wasn't already over his ex, the moment where she spilled all his personal stuff in front of everybody should have been the ultimate turn off and a red flag. I'm really hoping for some major development with him, I'm not a fan of the pathetic protagonist. I love Chizuru though! Hoping she smacks some sense in Kazuya ! |
| Oof she even lives in the same apartment as Kazuya lol. Pretty messy episode, things escalated fast and it got messier with every minute. Thou Chizuru us truly an angel, too adorable. Also Mami seems dangerous, gives off a really scary vibe. |

nanimeanswhat said: He feels natural, he's fun and he's grandma's boy. I enjoy watching a loser like him much more than I enjoy an edgy asshole like Hachiman or a perfect bishounen shoujo lead. He has a lot of room for character development and I'm in for it. Okay but this show and Oregairu aren't shoujo as a few others already pointed out. Edit: Also everyone rightfully shitting on Mami but Kazuya's friends are also truly awful people. Like they're almost as bad as the MC's friends in DXD. |
| This MC is outstandingly stupid huh couldn't help but cringe when he accepted to go with this total unscheduled drinking party and then sat there in front of his ex after she badmouthed him... then going home with her LOL this show is going to be a glorious dumpster fire |
| Thus far I find Mami to be a total bitch who can shit on other people but can't take shit herself. |

| I don't know how much longer I can continue watching this. |
| Your ex decides to break up with you on her own, but when you have a new partner, she suddenly becomes salty and jealous. I'm glad to see that gender relationship in Japan are not at all different from Russia, lol. For a long time I could not understand why I am so familiar with Chizuru's voice. It's Aqua! Ironically, the useless goddess suddenly became the most helpful girl on the show. |

| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| The plot to this show seems bogus. There's no point in prolonging the charade, and it was almost done with but Chizuru changed her mind for some reason. |
| bruh i don't like kazuya |
| This shit is so hard to watch. It's so cringey I have to pause every now and then, especially at the dining scene. MC is so pathetic and a real simp. And his friends are total trash too. I'll probably keep watching this to see how the relationship between the MC and Chizuru will develop, but unless he has some character development I doubt it will be more bearable. |
| The op is so good. I can't stop watching it. I really don't like that blonde bitch, Mami, at all. Not one bit. |
 Kyoto Animation rocks |
Syureria said: They're called clichés and Chizuru is a tsundere as evidenced by her speaking up for Kazuya. Kazuya didn't rub one off. Chizuru knocked on his door before that. How is the atmosphere of a room in which one's ex-girlfriend is meeting one's girlfriend supposed to be? Tense.Is this what is called a destiny? Unexpected coincidence, same campus, same apartment, oh shit. Besides that it seems that Kazuya was forced to keep a secret about their relationship. I thought Chizuru would reject Kazuya, all of this was only for grandma. Kazuya is masturbating, oh shit. I thought it would be a fun party but what the heck is this atmosphere. |
 " |
| What the hell, Kazuya? You don't have self-respect. Also, Mami is a bitch. |
 |
| MC is so lame it's painful. He'll go bankrupt at this rate too. Then he can jump off a bridge. The end. |
 |
| whoa they are going full throttle forward with the story and seems breaks are broken :d tissues, girl fight and that ending. Last episode granny asked about sex ;d I wonder what age restriction is this anime? |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| Hahahahha this show is so good. This episode was pretty good especially the friend gathering part at the end. Mami-Chan why you gotta do him like that. Kazuya just can't get over Mami huh. |
 |
| Kazuya, go fuck yourself, if you need to say, just say it, motherfucker |
 |
| Veterans are abler than recruits. Kazuya's grandmother saw through their breakup from the start, but in the end Chizuru's heart was softened and went to help him. And then it is the plot of his ex. However, the character of this girl is so bad that she said a lot of embarrassing things about Kazuya in front of others. Finally Chizuru couldn't stand it and took his side but Kazuya showed an attitude of "I'm useless". Oh no! What a good-for-nothing Kazuya is! Again, focusing on Chizuru (and Mami) in the previous episodes is Ok. And the next episode is Mizugi-kai! Looking forward to it! |
 |
| I was originally watching for the waifu wars but now I have to watch this as a warning. I have to try my best not to end up like the MC lol. |
 |
| "never would I think a single girl would ever fall for you" ouch a little too close to home 😂 That aside, this is exactly the kind of dating trash anime I needed right now. I the jokes are funny, the girls are cute and it's just enjoyable to watch. |
 |
| I'm starting to really dislike Kazuya. He's a very, very pathetic person. He acts carelessly without considering others' feelings. I also don't like Mami at all. Chizuru is a lot better than her. Let's see if they redeem her. 3/5 |
| I don't know, it's 2020. And hiding your identity with only glasses is still a thing. I mean I know they just follow the manga, but I think the studio could take the liberty there to make it less obvious disguise. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| Not only do they go to the same college, but are they neighbors? This level of coincidences is at the level of Domekano lmao. I only have this to say about the episode: FUCK MAMI. Beach episode next? :d |

| Wow I finally get it...Its not the dudes fault; his friggin ex girlfriend plays the same crummy mind games and B.S. that far to many women have been doing since the dawn of the species. No wonder the poor dudes a mess already. *smfh * I kinda could tell already, that type of gal is sadly typical in the world, but I already know where this shows going to go now...I am just along for the ride. Its like a nature documentary. |

Beach episode next? :d You know it was kinda obvious from the first episode. Somehow I could just tell Mami is a low class chick. I known hundreds, and learned of countless more in our world that string dudes alone or use them or waste a mans time like she did to the MC. |

At this point the MC has one redeeming quality and this is his grandmother. I can understand the feeling of male hopelessness and the lies to achieve a bit of self respect, but his lack of anything resembling a backbone is off putting. The grandma in the hospital lies are cute but the drinking group was pathetic. No respect for fake date, none for himself, and apparently none for the ex girlfriend. The series has to get better but at this juncture, it is "movie low point." 6/10 and teetering on the ledge. |
 |
| "You're going to stay homeless for a while now," is the first lewd joke in an anime that has landed for me in a long, long while. Assuming he doesn't get involved again, which, from the OP it looks like he unfortunately does, I'd say Kazuya dodged a major bullet in this ex of his. Seems like a real... not nice lady. |
 |
| Wow, male MC is probably the biggest letdown of the series so far... Mami leaves an impression of a girl who dumped him to see him suffer. Or, maybe she dumped him because he's a horny loser, but now that he got a hot gf, she's jealous and wants to ruin his life some more... |
