----------------------------------------
Well, the main female lead still has a ways to go to start her investigation and abide the EVOL ikemen to aid her in her duties.

If the premiere episode is an illustration into the EVOL ikemen's powers (stan Kira and Zen's), then this episode with police officer-cum-detective and senior Haku/Gavin goes exactly on that plot deal. On that note however, I'm just gonna follow the Japanese naming (because this is one of those games that is triple-language: Chinese, English then Japanese, it's hard to follow just purely on a language basis).

A relatively simple police case, but not so simple afterwards, with an evil organization (Black Swan) in the background targeting EVOLs. The case isn't so much wide open now, but with things as of now, we'll get there soon.

The female lead's dreams, and the ikemen's various different field of strengths, it looks as if she's gonna be the Red Queen in everything. We have the plot now, all it needs is some action.

This episode has me conflicted. On the one hand, ACAB, but on the other, cute af reformed bad boy. What a dilemma.

I like how sensible she is. She has goals she'll take risks for, but she still respects others' expertise and thinks before she acts. That's different from a lot of shoujo protagonists who display their pluckiness by charging ahead recklessly.

I don't like the president guy, he makes the girl feel inferioir with his rich privilege.

I'm neutral toward professor, he's too soft, and his move is too smooth (like moving to live near the girl)

I'm horny toward Gavin senpai, I like his wild and rough personality, he must be beast in bed.

I'm curious about the villain boss, the scar on his face turns me on, but I'll have to wait for his full face to make a judgment.

Interesting episode, it seems like there is more and more mystery in this show, especially with Black Swan for example.

Here's to hoping that Black Swan won't be a full-out "We've got superpowers so we're better than other people and let's have fun being evil!" type of organization. A superpowers show with a bit of nuance would be a refreshing change.

I still can't stand the CEO (arrogant personalities always bother me.) It makes no sense that he would cut their funding without any warning unless this was an economic downturn and some cuts just had to be made. Investment is supposed to be about helping something become better so that you can get a return (though I know it's nothing like that in the real world.)
Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day!

Don't worry! As someone who plays the game, I'll say that the conspiracies and mysteries surrounding Black Swan go way deeper than you think

This is an interesting reverse harem. So far unnecessary whiney flimsy mc girl attitude has not been yet introduced. I feel like this is kind of solid. Ofc its adapted from an otoge, i will let the cliche ikemen trope pass. But its not unbearable. Im getting more and more interested. I hope this anime goes well

As a fan of the game, let me just say that the story still needs some time to develop! It goes a lot deeper than what we’ve seen so far—and without spoiling anything, all of the main guys have a connection to her story, more than just them adoring her for no reason. The superpowers thing is one of the main, integral elements of the story, the whole point is that there’s a lot of conspiracies around Evol that have yet to be unraveled.

I’m a fan who played the game since the launch and I will reassure you, the story is building up slowly. Each character has its own personality and story and things will change. Your first impression will not stay the same as the story progresses. Every character except Zen who’s my number one since the beginning are changing positions every chapter. It’s gonna be a rollercoaster of emotions.

I can't believe just by the poster i guessed who is going to be my boy. And i was sooo right.
I wonder why he was the last to get a proper introduction.

My least fav is the idol. He's nice but not that interesting to me.

Not gonna like. If it wasn't for all the recomendations and hype on this show I'd probably drop it by now. Sometimes these inverted harems have this plain way to tell stories that is kinda boring.

Interesting, very interesting. So far, I like the characters that have been introduced here, specially the female MC which has the guts to go through all that. There's that, and at least she's conscious that being reckless may lead her to her death (or something worse)

I've heard good stuff about this otome game, so, let's hope Mappa delivers.

I like the Ending song.

The girl maybe had an Evol power too, since she could see the future event via her dream. Idk.

The resolution over the Evol boy with wrap power seems to be so fast that i can't felt anything as an impact. Otherwise, we knew that every Evolved man i saw in the previous episode now had revealed himself. Especially with the flying man when the girl had been teleported. Still, his attempt to saved the girl felt nonsense to me, since idk the relations between her power to fly and the reason using a wind to catch up the girl. Was that real? Why not he catched her while he flew away? I don't see any senses that came up with the scene.

Meanwhile, i was just not gonna liked the drama that Zen's setup over the girl company. It seems too predictable with its flawness. His tsundere-ish react felt too easy to understand. Even with that handsome profesor encounter in the end. Its a pretty generic and boring coincidence for making the girl pointing out some more of choice of the man. Fortunately, the plot still intacted by revealing the organisation called a Black Swan. Lets see how well the show revealed the rivalry between all of character fighting over the girl. And, yeah, more better plot, please....

Dayum just realized this anime have kinda top-tier staffs eehhh??
And today's storyboard and directing by Konosuke Uda tho, why ANN didn't give update for each episode's staff like other anime they do!?

I don't play the game, but if the story keep going like this, it might be the first otoge anime I will not drop
Tho, what makes me cringe so much everytime watch an otoge anime is how the ikemen shamelessly 'touch' the heroine even it's their first time to meet lol, but that Gavin scene kinda bearable because it is not their first meet, and it looks like Gavin already love the MC since highschool? what letter is that? a love letter?
I thought that child will be the main focus/ main conflict, but seems there even bigger problem there, Black Swan?

still an enjoyable episode!

I think the new dude Gavin (?) is kinda cool in concept. I love a good delinquent trope just wish he had more delinquent aspects to him leftover from his past. He ended up being pretty bland though.

I love a good cheesy shoujo, but I wish the guys were more interesting. They all read as pretty bland. I don't think its a good sign that when the professor dude showed up at the apartment complex, my first reaction was "wait who's this guy again?"

Episode 2 and so far I can't believe how well this has been adapted! The studio hasn't stubbornly stuck to the plot sequence of the game but moved certain events and scenes around to make the anime immediately interesting even to people who haven't played the game. I also like the comedic elements that have been added cause the give the MC more substance.

Finally, my husbando... Haku 😍 He's so hawt and I love his bad-boy vibe and he's protective nature and... just everything about him! I've always been torn between him and Simon but I think maybe Haku wins out just a fraction hehe

I like the way the guys are introduced. It might seem like a standard harem but so far I don't see them persistently falling in love with the girl for no reason, their conversations appear natural and they mostly discuss business, which also makes it quite interesting for the story itself. Like it's not there only as a background for romance. At least I hope that the mystery will end up satisfying. As for the romance I only caught the interest from Gavin for now and still, it was pretty subtle with a hint on previous feelings from their school days. It was rather cute.

This is getting more interesting. What's good about this is that the female MC's personality is not annoying, but is captivating.

We are seeing the power of four male MCs one by one. First, tsundere CEO Victor who can control time. Now, HS "lover" Gavin's ability to control wind is cool and kinda OP. I'm excited to see the other male MC's power.

So the main enemy on this series is the organization Black Swan. They mentioned that the Queen will soon awaken. Don't tell me he is referring to female MC? She kinda have some clairvoyance ability tho.

Surprisingly quite enjoying this, given that this is MAPPA's first otoge adaptation. To me, the last decent otoge adaptation was La Corda d'Oro where the MC had a decent personality, and that was ages ago.
It was good to see that the MC here isn't a doormat as well, in fact she had a few hilarious expressions in this episode with Gavin/Haku and lots of dialogue which is a positive. Not very used to her name being 'Watashi' though.

I thought the animation was pretty decent, and the pacing for this episode was way better than the first. I hope they manage to pack a decent story in 12 episodes.

Suprised by the low score, so far it´s by far the best reverse harem I seen since Yona of the Dawn. The Female MC actually has personality, goals and some wits. The guys has much more to them than being romantic interests and the show actually have… wait for it... a solid plot! Which very fast caught my interest.

Animation is more than decent and the little action that been shown has MAPPA´s fluent quality to it so this looks very promising. I really hope that they will continue to adapt the game as it progresses.

so the after credits scene heavily implied MC is the queen or something that black swan is going after, excited to see how the plot plays out but why they did they seem the least bit concerned when it was revealed that they manipulated the boy to warp her into that alley haku & MC just brushed it off lmfaooooooooooo i was like wait did i miss something o____O

so far i'm all for haku & simon hehe

So by the looks of it mc girl has the power to see the future in her dreams. All those husbandos scoring a lot of points by the mc girl so far, by the looks of it considering Victor's harsh attitude and Gavin's hug in the air I guess Gavin has the lead for now. I kinda find Lucien kinda suspicious.
