Welp, this anime is still pairing up with Jirou and Akari at whatever chance possible. The idea of this has been flowing for awhile...

On the other hand, Shiori still haven't forgotten about that kiss even though it was on accident. Bet it'll be in her memories forever.

This episode had way to little of one thing which was Akari, we had some of her during the first part and the spider thing was funny but the rest of the episode was to socused on Shiori and her partner and frankly i find them rather boring.
They are a little bit stereotype and there good and kind nature makes them very predictable, the fact that they behave perfect als doesn't really create much exciting moments.
The couple of Akari and Jirou on the other hand is unpredictable not to mention their personalities are all over the place which makes them a lot of fun to watch, this is also the reason why i am rooting for them they also seem like a cute couple and it's clear they have feelings for each other.
I also think they are getting more open to each other which will help them progress as a couple.

Akari was so cute when she was scared of the tiny spider and needed Jirou's help. The second half of the episode was solely focused on Shiori and to be honest there isn't much to focus on she is just a bit bland and boring

Kamo is the best character lol

Funny to see that he has an older brother, though they are pretty different.

Now this show has a yuri sub-plot, I wonder where that will go...

Another month passes, and both Jiro and Akari fail to reach to 10th and above to switch partners. Oh well, here's to another month, I guess.

Akari getting scared over a spider, and Jiro has to be forced to stay close to her, even when she has to go to the toilet. AHHHH Akari is damn cute when she can act meekly, and her usual nail treatment forces Jiro to feed her. But trying out the dating situation, and Jiro hesitating for a moment, it's a possiblity...but it'll just have to wait for the spider treatment. Despite that though, feeling easily flutter for Akari, and it's a sweet moment.

As for Shiori and Minami, her talking to him about her own troubles with Jiro, she's practically looking for close parties for some considerations, from the mock partner to the close friend Mei. Didn't expect that she would be paired up with Terafune, though he is certainly playing with her to safeguard both of their alone time together. On the subject of the guys' night out together, it certainly felt awkward at best while the childhood friends hit up. I feel bad for Kamo though, playing around with Jiro, only for Shiori to catch them in the act with misunderstandings lols.

The night walk with Jiro and Shiori was a confusing moment, and the itch to kiss got severed because of cats, ugh.
But such is life that goes on.

Oh nice, and openly lesbian character. I'm wondering if I'll get a gay equivalent, and no, that attempted "overwrite" kiss between Kamo and Yakuin doesn't count because it's just a joke, I want a serious one, maybe Tenjin can surprise me with this?

I get the feeling that Mei has feelings for Shiori but she doesn't do anything not to confuse her and even supports her with Jiro.

No doubt Kamo is still excellent comic relief haha

The comedy just keeps hitting, Jiro shouting "spirits calm thyselves!" and everything in the Kamo scene were particular highlights.

And it still delivers with the music and Akari's cuteness, I'm even starting to like Shiori now.

This show really surprised me and if it keeps up this momentum it could end up being one of my favourite romance anime.

"Darling" I-
Why is this anime so cute? I appreciate that the wave went over both Akari and Jiro's cups. Everyone is so smooth, especially Mei-chan lmao The weird is Kamo is Tenjin's brother, that's such a plot twist. I'm leaning towards Akari now, but Shiori really tugs at my feelings with her cuteness. Especially now that I know she has plants in her room and is so precious. :') Sooo many fixed feelings. I like how Jiro had to restrain himself from hearing Akari pee. I think this is my favorite episode so far. I love the animation and all the color schemes.

Man, Shiori making things more complicated as she is a sweetheart but Akari, I think, is on another level. I noticed Akari was smiling when she told Jiro that they have to live together another month and when she asked if they should date I think she was at least partially serious. So far this has been a great rom-com, and I'm looking forward to watching how this continues to develop.

Glad to see Shiori got half the episode dedicated to her, definitely enjoyed her moments with Mei, it’s no longer beating around the bush with Mei being into Shiori, it’s cute but also tough to root for Mei when I’m already rooting for Shiori to be with Jiro lol, but she is the next best thing, tho I don’t know if Shiori will ever see her the same way. And the little misunderstanding between Shiori and Jiro was funny, I’m glad they cleared up that they were talking about different things because I would have been mad if something as goofy as Kamo “overwriting the save data” ended up causing a bigger rift between the two of them.

I hope this leads to more moments between them, but I know it won’t mean much against the romance powerhouse that is Akari lol. And the bit with Akari and the spider in the first half was great too, Jiro got some insane moments with Akari thanks to the little critter lol.

That was a nice ending to the episode where the misunderstanding got resolved quickly, I almost thought Akari will caught them in the act and drama unfolds and it will get dragged for a few episodes. Thank you cats. Kamo and his fanatasies though lmao I approve that.

Sometimes it's good but sometimes it irritates me that they like someone else but still getting close and then remembers..

there's a point where tension building becomes stalling that then becomes boring - light novels, manga and anime creators seems to be masters at this process.

Does Mei have a gay crush on Shiori or something? This anime is adding so many layers with characters who barely appear that it's making it way too complicated. Meanwhile, Tenjin is barely getting any attention when he's supposed to be one of the more important side characters. At least Kamo is still funny.

Man, I really want Shiori to win but it's so unlikely considering Akari is everywhere like in the OP and ED.

well things just got more complicated with the mei reveal and to add to that now tenjin knows shiroi loves someone else. many hearts are gonna break at this rate.

i'll just take a moment here to mention that all the jiro and akari scenes are so awesome, their chemistry is off the charts, it's lovely to see them.

when shiori and jiro leaned and then that fucking cat appeared in the frame i knew they were gonna get interrupted. stupid fucking cats.

a little development for shiroi at last. up until last episode it didn't even feel like there was some competition.

excellent episode as usual. 5/5.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

Well the manga volume covers are concrete proof that the author has chosen Akari for Jirou seeing how they want to make a story that "opposites can be together" can happen in life unexpectedly.

Somehow I'm still disappointed that even though it's mentioned "Love Polygon" in the Baka Update site, I still feel Minami is like a ghost, or more accurately, a plot device rather than an actual character.

Of course Jirou is the main protagonist of this dumb rom-com, but would still like to see Minami having character development because if this is how Minami is gonna be used as nothing more than a plot device for the melodrama Akari and Jirou feels, he's considered under the "They Waste a Perfectly Good Character" trope.

At least I can give credit for this (hetero) ecchi series not having any indirect homophobia to Mei whom we got subtle hints that she's in love with Shiori despite the latter being a straight girl still in love with her childhood friend. Of course I'm hoping the author gives closure for Mei's unrequited feelings during the final arc in the manga.

As for Shiori, it kind of confused me on why she still believes Jirou will hate her if she confess she loves him like any (allo) woman does for a certain (allo) man. The misunderstanding they have that happened a few years ago is still ridiculous to me though I assume that Shiori had no idea when she would come back to Tokyo so thus her sentence of "Will you still be my friend?" seems plausible given a long-distance relationship between two people will never guarantee 100% that they can be with each other.

I believe this episode is the most tolerable I can take given I'm glad Kamo's brother became a scene stealer for me...of course that's because Konitan guest voiced the role. Kamo is still my most unlikeable character though I'm glad he takes out his incel-like frustration on the main man Jirou instead of the two women Jirou is stuck in between figuratively.

Akari was dead serious with that question about dating, ahe was really testing the waters there but wasn't courageous enough (or not sure enough about her feelings yet), so she withdrew, telling him it was a joke. I guess it is just normal, you thought for so long you love somebody (that you clearly just have a crush on but son't know better yet), that you can't believe or trust your feelings to the other person. It's similar to ToraDora in that particular element as the MCs can't see these feelings as love due to beeing inexperienced. I really like Shiori and I shipped her with the MC right from the beginning, especially due to their history together, but sometimes things just should not be and them both not seeing/missunderstanding the hints they gave each other is a clear sign of that. Even the cats thought that way 😅

They moved up to the 13th rank, that's better at least, but the people on the 5th place are already dating it seems like, so its gonna be an challenge for Jirou and Akari to climb up the ranks.

Akari storming into the bathroom while Jirou is still in bath LMAO, all because of an spider, a tiny spider. Akari being in a good mood apparently, my guess is that she got to hug Jirou when she cried the last episode. Both of them spend a good time together, Akari mentioning dating and Jirou hesitated for a moment but Akari afterwards said its a joke, I think she's being serious about it. Jirou finally gets rid of that tiny spider.

While sleeping Akari still wants to reach out to Jirou, Akari for sure has a crush on Jirou, without an doubt (that's my guess).

I'm glad we got some Minami and Shiori screentime this episode, Minami trying to be an help to Shiori's troubles because Minami ofcourse still doesn't know that Shiori and Jirou kissed in that nurse office.

Shiori asking Mei to come over to sleep because the boys go out for dinner but Mei declines that because she needs to help her mom with something. Mei likes Shiori because in that classroom she literally leaned forward towards Shiori and idk how to say it but Mei kinda went by her hair in an romantic way i guess, I can also be wrong and they're just really good friends.

Kamo going all mad was funny to see lol. Awkward moment when Shiori sees Jirou in that café/restaurant.

It's super nice to see Shiori and Jirou walk together again, they almost even went in for a kiss but got interrupted by CATS, aghhh!

Summer is coming for them as well.

Anyhow an wholesome and funny episode.
