Ah, one of those festival days.

I didn't think it would get tense but oh boy, that got a bit tense. Sueharu had a lot of guts going up on stage to tallk about his feelings as well. He's got some balls to confess in front of a whole audience.

If anything comes and goes, it's the one-too-tropey school cultural festival and its shenanigans.

Sueharu's class holding a Japanese style cafe, ok. LOLS that scared me for a moment that the new girl Shirou/Kachi would complicate things further in a messy tangle, but it's just Shirokusa in tomboy fashion, hmm what a way to elope secretly. That doesn't discount that Kuroha has found out the easy way, and both Shiro Kachi and Kuro Kuroha are mortal enemies.

HMM...I'm not sure about having such a confessional event in a cultural festival, it sure puts the girls on stress mode on the spot while the guys just mention sweet words on a flamboyant level. A "wonderful" play of Abe being the good "baddie" guy just to help Sueharu get back on his footing.

Such adolescent high-school levels of "revenge" plot just for show, even if it's meant to show who's superior between Sueharu and Abe-senpai. Of course, since this is a rom-com, it has the appeal of everything going both right and wrong, of which I'm fine since this show is full of those tropes (that OreSuki just did the SAME formula better).

Like Sueharu, I'm saying: WHAT THE HELL!?

Well, this is better than Masamune-kun, these have fixed the problem very quickly xd
I really got a lot of cringe from the dance .-.
Ohhh, she rejected him? And I was so happy because he had chosen Kuro (╥_╥)
Well Abe wasn't a bad person, sorry for wanting to punch you xdd

So the fated stage has finally appeared huh. Kuro though looked cute in her outfit at their café stall. Kachi using the Shirou card came sooner than expected though still as effective. Having Kuro intercept her cherished reunion moment though must have been heart-breaking though. Still it's adorable seeing Kachi try to close the distance between them. The analogy of Orange Tabby vs Shiba Inuby was spot on. Kuro deciding to reset her relationship was a surprise though at least it levelled the playing field. The stage plays sure are popular ways to confess. The concert between Abe and Sueharu though really was fun. Damm being rejected by Koro after rejecting Kachi must have been painful. Despite his surface personality Abe turned out to be quite the kind person. Overall an excellent ep that featured a good balance of tension, revelation and comedy. Bet even Maru didn't think he can close off two routes at once though lol. Looks like Maria will be making her debut next week and in doing so add a new complexity to Maru's love life.

No one wins in the end. Yeah! That was a stupid ending like Abe said. There is still a long way to go for the three of them especially when the new love rival, "Momo", will be introduced next.

I think I saw someone resemble Kuroiwa-buchou from Houkago Teibou Nisshi. lol. Both of the series were produced by Doga Kobo anyways.

I felt like my brain was melting when they started dancing. First of all, confession ceremonies themselves are hella cringey but then these lot took the biscuit by breaking into a dance and singing with a full blown band and production. The break up scene was decent, you know the scene is meant to be impactful when the camera zooms in on one of them and they try to animate each word lol. Again I think I lost a few braincells after that dance coupled with that ending xD

Well that sucks. After Maru's courageous confession on stage to Kuroha, Kuro just rejects him in front of everyone. So now both of them are even? But Maru's case is worse. Bruh...

Shiro was pretty cute in this episode too, but dang, what a twist.

And so the story continues....now that the 3rd girl will be arriving soon.

Kachi disguising herself as Shirou was cute. Also, that Kuro-Shiro analogy was cute from Kachi.
Kuro is cute but funny. She doesn't want to get embarrassed but also wants to. Huh?
But damn... that confession. Didn't expect that at all from Maru. It was pretty obvious that Abe Senpai was playing the bad guy for Maru's sake. Everyone's in despair. LMAO

I was happy when he confessed to Kuro but she rejected him because she wanted to get her revenge...

This is really BAKA. Totally.

So the only ship is Abe-senpai x Maru, that's the only logical. He is the only good guy.

Ah yes. Oni-chan. Was wondering when a younger (ofc not blood related) sister joins the battle.

Glad that people have seen Kuro for what she is. All of this is her fault, and the MC for being an idiot, she is the only one acting out of spite and trying to hold people back. I still think that she will somehow get chosen at the end because these shows can be nonsensical and stupid and she seems to be getting far more screen time than everyone else. I don't see how people think that they are even, he rejected her, she made him a laughing stock in front of everyone when it was already tough for him to be getting back on stage. There's no comparison and that really should be it for her but we know that it isn't.

MC deserved that rejection, though, after he realised Shiro was Kachi. What is still keeping up that nonsense for? It makes no sense and makes his original claim to love Kachi look stupid.

The manga hasn't gone that far but I would not be surprised if she has some history with Kachi as well, considering how she recognised that Shiro was Kachi and the fact that she made up this revenge plot for a stupid reason that didn't even concern her. But she seems to the main girl, so I suspect they will ass pull some kind of turnaround that sees her coming through in the end.

That dance by Abe and Maru was unwatchable. Honestly, I have no idea where the romance in this show is going. I'm kinda surprised that Kuro actually rejected Maru. Maru's reaction was priceless. There was a lot of revenge in this episode.

With Maru's character backstory flushed down the toilet really quick from previous episode, thank god Shiro's past with Maru for being mistaken as a boy for having a short hair got quickly resolved as well in this episode.

Mitsuri Abe or Senpai honestly was the best in this series so far tbh. Abe-senpai wanting for Maru, a former talented child actor, to overcome his past tragedy so he can go back to what he's talented at, acting. Probably fav char so far, just because this reminds me of Kaori Miyazono.

Maru confessing to Kuro in the other hand was something I didn't expect this episode, but I welcome it. Although she rejected him for the sake of "revenge", I'm curious to see more a bunch of these people focusing rejection on others.

A new girl approached to the harem huh, now I can finally moved from this wack love triangle between Kuro and Shiro, yeah even when the new girl looks like gonna be the "imouto" type.

This episode got a lot more emotional than I expected. Maru really let it all out on that stage with his confessing to Kuro. Not very normal for an anime romcom to get a full fledged confession this early. It didn't go well but still interesting to see. Kuro rejecting Maru then immediately regretting it was hilarious. Wanting to get him back for his rejection of her but not thinking that through. The dance number did surprise me too but it looked good. Nice song and we got to hear Matsuoka sing, added bonus. Shiro revealing herself to Maru of being Kachi was a great scene. Making both main girls a childhood friend definitely adds some complexity considering the title of the show. Kuro is in the lead right now but Shiro could catch her.

this whole anime is so stupid i was kind of hoping it'd be better but it just keeps getting worse and worse. mc works up the courage to confess to who he didn't think he'd confess to, but got rejected because .. ? she was nervous ? is the next 9 episodes just gonna be a back and forth of that? this is an actual shitshow oh my god im not even gonna try to take anything seriously, one of those shows thats so bad that its hilarious

Nothing Kuro does should allow her to even have a chance. That was just nasty and it involved two other people. That scene of her crying in the changing room isn't going to cut it.

MC deserves that, he knew the truth and still went ahead and showed Kachi up. If he wasn't going to choose her, why did he even have to mention her in his confession? After she had come clean with him as well.

Abe and Kachi are probably the right relationship after all, the other two are just trash. I'm starting to think the writer is an idiot as well.

Y’all when I say I literally screamed “lets fucking gooooo” to the top of my lungs when MC confessed to best girl kuro... just for her to say “no” man fuck this shit. I hate the contrived drama for nothing more than drama’s sake. Kachi is obviously gonna win by virtue of her being the main girl, which is stupid. When Kachi inevitably wins, this is getting a 5/10 from me.

Damn, I didn't expect everybody to be losers in the end.

Haru was pretty damn cool up on stage there, for once he actually seemed invincible and not weak, that did come to an end after he got shot down. Mans made the wrong choice, he should definitely be going out with Shiro.

Wait I'm a little confused. Was Shiro putting on an act this whole episode? Is she still trying to get revenge even after understanding what happened to Sueharu and his mother? Or were her feelings genuine?

Side note: I have a feeling that this show is going to turn into a back and forth of Revenge after Revenge between Shiro, Kuro, and Sueharu, please tell me im wrong

Nanithefuck. I guess this is the standup comedy of the season. The one that no one finds funny. Or funny for all the wrong reasons.

Abe should have just come out & say he loves Sueharu too. He couldn’t be any more obvious. I won’t be surprised if he did since this episode felt like it was on STEROIDS. Also am I missing something — who is that girl who looks like Gou-chan from Free! going around filming everyone??

Also the dance was so bad, was it intentional?????? Lol

Can’t seem to like any of the characters yet. I guess I like Sueharu’s friend/Nobunaga’s character. Everyone else is.......nuts

The show would have ended if Kuro just said "yes." But the show just had to do this to make the other girls have a chance. sign

I'm guessing Kachi is going to win...OH GOD PLEASE NO

The title is actual bait. It feels so wrong that she is considered a childhood friend because she met the MC a few times while acting. Kuro was with the MC from the very start making her the OG childhood friend so I'm a little pissed that Kachi will probably win.

This is officially the stupidest anime I have ever seen.

I can not even call the animated things that look like people “characters” because that would require them to possess a consistent psyche. They are more akin to plot devices that do whatever contrived bullshit the writer wants them to do in order to advance the plot in the stupidest way possible. This anime makes the characters in Gamers! look realistic.

They even had to spend the last 3 minutes of the episode explaining how this stupid situation occured and it still made no sense. It’s honestly up there for the worst writing I have ever seen in a professional product.

Obviously I am dropping this.

I'd wouldn't have thought, before watching this episode, where all of the mains characters would take the L, but somehow, they did.

I did like the personal scenes with Kachi and Haru, then Kuro and Haru afterwards, but then came the confession festival, which went a bit crazy with Abe and Haru dancing to the song. The amusing thing is that the band players were well animated, whereas the dancing from Abe and Haru was, honestly, choppy.

I was happy that Haru did confess his love to Kuro, but due to the conflicting goals she had, she was dumb enough to reject him in front of everyone, then came to regret it afterwards. At least Abe and Haru's friend realise this and comment on their failures like the know-it-alls that they are. XD

The episode is dumb, but I still liked it for what it was. At this rate, I would call it a guilty pleasure! =P

The last part of this episode was so hard to watch... the dancing animation wat atrocious, they should have not even attempted it. And the confession? That was contrived... this just creamed of the author wanting really bad for this to happen but did not really know how to build up to it. Why did she reject him? Because the anime would be over, that is why! She had no reason at all to reject him, and they "explaining" it later did not make it more believable even the slightest bit more plausible.

Well, this show is a hard disappointment as of now.

I was thinking that the whole Shiro reveal was going to take atleast another 8 episodes or so, I am glad it actually happened now instead of being dragged out while the viewer already knows what's up.

To think that no one wins... Wellp, it's only episode 3 after all. Eventho this looked pretty dumb, it was pretty entertaining and unexpected in a way. Atleast this way the story can continue and everyone starts from zero again. See how this will go throughout the rest of the show.

Now I have a hard time picking who is best girl... New girl is gonna be interesting, she calls Maru Onii-chan, that's gonna be fun.
