| It's about time Hyouma got himself peace and more importantly, starting to build an important relationship with Botan. The handshaking was kinda awkward but it's a step forward. I hope Botan develops some fighting skills soon as right now, she feels like the most vulnerable character. However, it seems she's on decent terms with Hyouma now. |
 |
| Why Hyouma is so this fk dense, dumb and stiff? |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| ngl i dint care about anything, i am just w8ing for a fight with the 100 demons inside her shadow |
 |
| Having the signatures of all the tsukumogamis, Hyoma finds himself having to solve the one thing: the connection between Botan and the tsukumogami. The condition that was set upon Hyoma when his gradnfather Zohei put him in the Nagatsuki household: evaluate him for the year he's going to stay with them...because it's for the candidate of being a potential partner to Botan. Of course, this can be taken as a literate prank, but nope, the tsukumogami are for real, because of their origination as a single trousseau, items offered to the woman in marriage. To Hyoma, his deal to them isn't a clear-cut condition yet that he'll defer his opinion for now. On top of the poker face, Hyoma for sure, couldn't believe what he was been told. Given this woo-ha, it's too sudden, and Hyoma tries phoning back to his grandfather to clear the misunderstanding on the arranged marriage, only to be met with the same explanation. Things get awkward fast between Botan and Hyoma, and the tsukumogami are not letting Hyoma loose, especially if Botan is in danger of being found by tsukumogami like Hainarashi getting back for what happened the episode prior. With troublesome family members, both Hyoma and Botan having to deal with it, is not to be concerned rather. If anything, Hyome has slowly warmed to the Nagatsuki family. |
 |
| I was thinking their evaluation was gonna be about something sinister, these mfs just want her to get married lol. Too bad Hyoma is dumb as a rock. Decent episode, waiting on the story to pick up though. It's been pretty meh to this point other than episode 2. |
 |
| Its good going that Hyoma managed to earn the respect of all the spirits. Over a relatively short amount of time as well too lol. To think that their other orinary purpose was to find the potential other half for Botan as well. Given that they orginated from gifts traditionally given to newlyweds i guess its to be expected. The enemies plan of decoying out Botan's guards was good move but they sure didn't account for Hyoma. It was nice to see Hyoma act more human in the aftermath though and be more aware of those around him. It was cute seeing how Botan reacted as well. The marriage angle is an interesting one to add to the show in order to improve their bonds but in this case i think it would work quite well. |

| I knew the deal was gonna be marriage from the way things were going. They shipping Botan x Hyoma hard. When will we see their marriage and kids? |
 |
| I really enjoyed that episode, fantastic "comedy" reveal of the tsukumogami's true intentions :-) I love how unrelentingly earnest Hyoma is, I hope he never changes but that Botan wins his heart despite that |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| Pretty funny Tsumogami reactions after that arranged marriage thing xd |
   |
| This has been my favorite episode so far for this series, and I figured the condition that Haori wanted from Hyoma's grandfather involved a potential spouse for Botan. Botan is in denial but her feelings say otherwise, maybe it's because she didn't like how Hyoma immediatly rejected the idea like she's not good enough. Good thing Kagami told Hyoma to chase after Botan because he did end up saving her. I'm not sure if she should be walking around by herself since she appears to be a known target for the rogue tsukumogami. |
| Where the heck did this marriage stuff come from? I seriously expected more from this after two really good episodes. I thought there is more to the Tsukomogami than having the purpose to bring Botan under the hood. From the hints and visuals I expected a dark secret around Botan as a whole. Perhaps the marriage thing was told to the Tsukomogami as a pretense to hide something? I just hope this show won't revolve around the arranged marriage anymore and redeem itself. Just have Botan and Hyoma tell their relatives to butt out of their love lives and bring up a good mystery plot! |
| cute and nice episode |
 |
| For me,I just can't understand why this hasn't got a score above 7,its got decent characters,good humour,a good OP/ED,decent animation(not the best,but more than good enough).I love the interaction between the Nagatsuki tsukumogami. Just can't understand the low score :( And Botan is cute,but Kagami is wayyyyyy cuter :) |
 |
| finally going in a somewhat interesting direction, the candidate husband is here lmao. |
 |
| LOL I love Hyouma and Yu's faces when they reveal their true intentions. Meanwhile poor Botan is blushing >w< Kagami and Botan were also adorable later on in the episode This episode definitely felt different compared to what we've seen so far, but I'm definitely not complaing. At least not now, but we'll have to see where this goes from here! :D Edit: another thing I forgot to mention, I love how Hyouma's "mask" has finally been broken lol |
 |
| d'awwww so nice little romance we have here! ahihi 4/5. |
 |
| wonder if that guy at the start with Botan was the same as the old man who takes care of Hyouma, or if he was someone else ... i mean, he talks to them at the phone so he knows them lol Yuu put her small signature at the corner, wonder if that has a meaning Botan came rushing into his room to see if he really had all the signs, and then laughed at him for being too stiff, as usual :D her laugh is cute but she said "you will choke from being to stiff" and then she choked herself from laughing LOL next, talking about the request that Haori made of Zohei, when she accepted to let Hyouma stay there they were gonna evaluate him for an entire year, but since they already accepted him, it can be said now... he is the 1st candidate to marry Botan, oh my, what a random timing to say such a thing, they barely know each other poor Botan was so red lol so cute the 6 youkais are part of a single bridal set, so they wish to witness their master marriage, makes sense Hyouma "calmly" saying he still can't answer since he doesn't know if he can trust the family, and then made sure to quickly leave for a run, so he could release the surprised feeling he had and didn't show to them lol Botan got a small headpat, that quickly turned into a painful one lol Botan worried about the marriage thing, wants to tell Hyouma to not think about it Hyouma called grandfather, thinking it was just a mental pressure training, but ofc it's real, the 21 years old boy needs to experience some love (maybe it will make him less rigid ... or maybe the opposite, having people he likes is also a problem, if they die he will get mad) looking for Haori, but she will be out for a while he got annoyed that Yuu and Nagi didn't bring him to the fight lol next, Botan is going shopping, and i thought she was gonna invite him, but instead... he told her he is not bothered by the marriage thing, almost like saying he rejected her (probably not the intention but whatever) ... Suzuri was annoyed and Kagami was crying and calling him idiot (lol she is cute too) ... but he better make things right, poor Botan was really sad when he said that Hyouma doesn't even know about emotions like "feel bad for her", the 2 were like, wtf is this guy saying oh, forgot about last weeks episode preview, Botan gets attacked when alone outside the other guys sure were laughing when they told that to Yuu and Nagi oh nice timing by Hyouma, almost too perfect :D lmao Nagi got pissed and cut the bad guy in half they left the 2 alone, and so Hyoma apologised and explained that it's not like he dislikes her, he just thought that she also didn't like the idea of marriage a little talk and Botan is already so much happier again lol she changes emotions pretty quickly next episode preview, things are not looking good lol |
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons  |
| I like the whole dated arranged marriage-thing, Hyouma and Botan interactions were fun. |
| I started this anime not knowing what to except, but romance was definitely not was I was thinking. Honestly so far this anime is kinda dull and boring, hope it'll become more interesting later, but as for now I watched 4 episodes of absolute nothing. Botan is cute and they'll surely end up together so he can "free" her from some curse of something like that; if that's the truth, well, that's... predictable. |

| Well i really didn't expect the big secret to be an arranged marriage invitation at all, i thought it would be something more dramatic and serious but here we are. Also all of Botan's tsukumogami's possessing items used in marriage was also surprising. I really thought they were all like, average rag tag tsukumogami's off the street that Botan or her family took in as a sign of kindness and that's why there was such emphasis on them trying to bridge the worlds between human and tsukumogami with Botan and Hyouma's relationship, but guess not. I really hope from this reveal, the story and cast doesn't start pouncing constantly on the subject of marriage and shipping and love, even as a means to get Hyouma to be more social. I feel like there are be a lot of ways for Hyouma to let go of his traumatic past about tsukumogami and change as a person for the better step by step, i don't think an arrange marriage should be one of those first steps to change him especially when the guy has so much trouble reading other's emotions. Idk i just think a relationship in a story like this should be one of the last things if you wanna build a character like Hyouma. |
 "yabe." |
| Get the feeling that my dislike of every facet of Yu's character is only going to be amplified over the course of the following episodes, but that's to be expected with her archetype. |
