Lol, all of those traits Ichika named is the opposite of Ryou about the type of guy she likes. So much curiousity this episode, even Kai got curious.

Love is in the air. It's funny how everyone talks about boyfriends and girlfriends. Rio definitely planned and set up that meeting between Ichika and her brother lol. She's such a good friend to have imo.

Is it weird that Ichika's friends have some weird tastes in men? Even in Ryo's business life there is plenty of women...suitors there aren't but only chasers and spectators.

Tamaru is still one sweet fella, and it looks as if he's gonna confess to Ichika, but I'd guess not. Getting some answers from Rio helps out a lot, and from last episode's intense warning, he's gonna have to crunch it out somewhat.

Given the episode title, Christmas sure hits around the corner fast. "You (Ichika) can be his (Ryo) Christmas present." Hah, Rio fully knows the cliché well. To see Ryo being serious (for once) about Ichika and asking Rio for advise on her likes for a Christmas present, that's an improvement.

Ichika's a hardcore Otaku from the looks of her present, and Ryo got a tie clip so that's nice. The only one left is Rio herself, and a party is only suitable between the trio, plus her fascination for sumos.

For once, I don't feel cringe.

It looks like Tamaru is not going to have it easy if he really likes Ichika πŸ˜‚
I loved Ichika's reaction to the gift (ΰΉ‘Λƒα΄—Λ‚)
It's funny because both gifts were suggested by Rio xdd

Basically, Ichika's types are everything opposite to Ryo. πŸ˜‚
I feel bad for Tamaru, he's a good guy. Anyways, he still got a chance even that considering a very tough competition for him.
The Christmas present part was very lovely, Rio is a very good friend. I would imagine that Ryo will wear that tie clip to work every single day.

It was fun seeing all the other girls talking about Ryo and admiring how romantic he can be. LMAO. Looks like Tamaru is going to be a rival in Ichika and Ryo's relationship. He seems like a nice guy but I don't ship Ichika with him. Another good episode.

I still think Rio is the best character in this anime. She deserves more love as well. I know she is feeling some sort of Sympathy for Tamaru which is why she's not telling him to back off. But just warning him.

There a lot of Ryos co-workers being introduced now. the new girl Arie who started the same time as Ryou seems like she will have an impact somehow. Maybe find out about Ryo and Ichika.

A Very great episode though. Ichika's reaction to getting that anime was priceless. Also the fact that Ryo gave her that anime was sweet af.

Looks like Rio got a Sumo Plushie and some Tea. Very nice. =)

I Lowkey might like this more than Higehiro. It’s been getting better and better with each episode and I’m always shojo biased.

Feel bad for Tamaru. Classic case of everyone besides you knowing how you feel. By the nature of this type of series, the result is already determined, but hope he gets to tell Ichika how he feels.

Ryo and Ichika exchanging Christmas presents was so damn cute, that squeal she did when she got her fave anime BD was adorable.

Rio is definitely the best girl, easily my favorite so far.

Tamaru is probably going to end up liking Ichika.
Really liked the scene where they exchanged gifts but came back home to celebrate with Rio. :)

I love how Rio is helping both of them with their relationship (even though it is not confirmed yet, it is still a platonic relationship on Ichika's side)

I kinda feel bad for Tamaru because it's obvious that he likes her, and he most likely won't pursue a relationship with her.

My honest opinion is that I think rio brother has a dark side and will kill someone for what he wants and I’m so glad his sister explained that to Tamaru because I don’t want him getting involved in anything between their characters growth

I love the way that this anime can turn a possible drama situation, like the women interested in Ryo at his job, into a funny scene which was the "ryo's teacher girlfriend". Funny and cute episode!

This was my favorite episode so far. I'm still not really fond of their "relationship" and I think that Tamaru might have been a better fit for Ichika, but that might change in the future.
I have to admit that their gift exchange was super cute though. <3

The audio department is going down deeper into the drain every episode.

It looks like they are recording the voices individually because you can hear the disconnect between characters, especially Rio’s interactions. Her voice lacks reaction like she’s reading the script. Wasn’t this bad in the previous episodes.
Truth is absolute but human perception of truth is always relative.

Eh, this episode was fine.

I don’t like how we are still going with the whole love triangle thing because it doesn’t really have a purpose. It doesn’t add tension because we all know she will end up with Ryo and it isn’t needed for her to figure out her feelings for him because their relationship is already devloping at a good pace.

If the next episode is lackluster then I’ll probably drop it.

This episode was alright, him saying he had nothing to do and suddenly rushing out after getting the phone call was funny and them exchanging gifts was cute and funny.

Other than that it was still very bad, I want Tamaru to try but he seems to be dissuaded by Rio's insane brother after their conversation. Might get better again hopefully.

“I’ll put it on an altar when I get home” LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

That was so sweet when they both got Rio gifts & didn’t forget about her. That sumo plushy!!!!

Tamaru is just β™‘_______β™‘ I love how soft-spoken & quiet he is & observant. I like the easel-carrying scene, Tamaru is so nice to her. Ichika probably just sees him as a friend but he totally likes her. He shows a different side to Ichika. So cute!!!!

Ichika describes what kind of guy she would be into, describes Tamaru instead, cause he's the total opposite of Ryo XD

Also her friends have weird taste in men, especially Rio.

The gift exchange was the best part of the episode and honesty Ryo was bearable for once.

That whole exchange was dumb. I swear, it was set up to look like one of the last episodes. Literally in the same episode, she’s asked what she thinks about Ryo (...I’d rather call him pedoman) and she instantly thinks of all of his negative aspects, whilst having a disgusted expression on her face. Then she thinks of that time when she was sick and thinks maybe he isn’t so bad.
When Ichika asked blonde chick what to get for pedoman, I face-palmed; there was next to no transition of her opinion of him.

At the end of the episode, Ichika randomly started to treat pedoman as if they were in some kind of blossoming relationship (for all I know, it probably is a “blossoming relationship”... a very shitty one at that). It once again delivered shit comedy and art/animation, but out of all the other episodes, this one is probably the best of them, not that there’s much competition anyway :p

This episode was the best out of all the episodes so far, but I still don't love this show.

Ryo got was less weird in this episode, and so I found it more enjoyable. I also laughed at how Ichika's ideal "boy" is basically describing Tamaru
