Damn, Ruka is still such a hot airhead. She should try to at least calm herself down without screaming...

However, this got even more complicated as Mini also aw part of that argument. Sigh. It seems this season is once again aiming for drama, although I'm hardly surprised. Mini is also quite loud for her personality...and this episode had probably the most yelling I've seen in awhile out of the franchise.

Hell of a time for Ruka to stumble on their undertaking. Though troublesome Ruka's logic was flawless. Glad that it ended up being approved by the crowdfunders though. As characters go Mini sure is more in the kinky cat than anything. Still her passion when speaking of her respect for Kazu sure was amusing. Though her chosen career field actually suited her personality perfectly. Nice to see Kazu gain a supporter in the form of Mini though.

When things were getting better, Ruka will appear and ruin them. She is annoying as always. Sorry Ruka's fanclub but she was so fking annoying and persistent.

The first 10ish minutes of this episode annoyed the hell out of me... The whole "forced girlfriend" thing with Ruka is just there to shoehorn "drama" and is just making her character annoying for no reason. Kazuya continues to display that inadequacy that we've grown to expect and hate from him.

Not gonna lie, I think I'm actually sort of enjoying this season so far. Yeah, it's still trashy, but Mini is carrying right now with her zoomer dialogue, really enjoying her character so far. Two episodes in and I don't hate it yet, let's keep that train rolling!

It's a trash tier anime but I think the new girl is a very interesting one. I like her so far.
I think this episode made more progress than 10 episodes.

Plus I think the opinion of Chizuru's Grandmother is kinda nice because she thinks that nobody is perfect and everybody is important. This is something I learnt today lol.

Yay.... Ruka.....

Anyway, fun episode. I'm watching for my entertainment at this point, and honestly I'm enjoying this series right now. Hopefully the rest of the season keeps this going so that I can continue to have a good time watching this chaotic mishmash.

Wonder what the next episode will have for us, hmmm...

When you think you can put a finger on who's worthy for the title of the worst character in this series, you get proven wrong and need to start from zero again, sigh. Though must say dude may lead the chart right now, but Ruka ain't far behind.

Also when is this new girl going to fall for our chick magnet-kun?

Ruka selling my mans Kazuya once again but he deserves it lowkey, looks likes she's finally on the train of making the movie.

Speaking of trains looks like Mini is also on the harem train as well, and the movie train maybe. looks likes shes a youtuber and is gonna teach Kazuya the ropes of being online so that's nice. Also looks like they finally added Mini n the opening now. I thought those flashback scenes of Kazuya and Mizuhara were just temporary. It's a bit strange though, considering Mini was prominently featured in the promotional material. Lol they were worrdied about spoilers in the opening after that feels a bit pointless, but whatever. 

Still no ending sequence though. Hmm...

I'm starting to like Mimi, she sure does have a way of fantasizing romance with her Zoomer logic. Her interactions with Kazuya are the best parts of the show so far. Now Kazuya has a wing woman in Mimi that would support Chizuru and Kazuya's relationship. Chizuru's movie is starting to gain more support so they'll need to come up with a script and find a director.

Ruka nearly spoiling the fun running into Chizuru leaving Kazuya apartment at night. Ruka loyalty is commendable, through all of this she has stayed at Kazuya side wanting to be his girlfriend. Ruka pulled out all the logic to get her way, somehow now she too is working on this movie with Kazuya and Chizuru. I'm glad that Ruka could understand why Kazuya would want to help Chizuru achieve this wish for her grandmother but I guess now she will somehow star in thus film too. Ruka can't give these two a second alone together, her paranoia isn't unfounded but damn she's attached to Kazuya. Very happy to see their crowd funding proposition be approved, already gaining a good chunk of financial backing. Chizuru is right to not get their hopes up but its a promising start. Mini yanking Kazuya into her apartment was wild, things got hot and heavy for a second but Mini just gets carried away I suppose. Makes sense that she's a cosplay streamer given her attire each time we've seen her. Kazuya had no choice to tell her the whole story after she overheard so much of the previous nights conversation between him and the two girls. Mini admiring Kazuya is kinda weird but I'll roll with it. Maybe somehow she can help with the movie too.

Looks like there won't be any problems now that Ruka has found out about what he's doing with Chizuru, even going to help out which is nice I guess.
This new girl could have been a problem since she has that recording, but doesn't seem to want to do anything with it for now, maybe she'll give Kazuya some sort of push for Chizuru(but I doubt anything will happen).

Ok so this episode was so dumb that it was entertaining and funny. Did Ruka really call Chizuru a horny thot?! LMAO! And did Mini really try seducing Kazuya before calling him master?? WTH is going on??

At least Chizuru's grandma seems kind of sane except for saying something like Kazuya is a good match for Chizuru, yeah I'm not sure about that. It was odd that Chizuru was acting kind of distant with Kazuya after visiting her grandma but I'm guessing because of what her grandma said she's probably conflicted (btw Chizuru looked good in that blue dress).

Anyways, I'm guessing there will be more drama with Mini involved, and I wonder what Ruka will think about her once she finds out she's also meddling and living on the opposite side of Kazuya, let the fireworks continue! Shoot, I forgot about Mami too, lol.

As expected, Ruka did not take the situation well at all lol, she even started crying which was upsetting to see but thankfully once things were explained properly she cooled down, and of course she’s gonna be part of the movie now which is pretty cool but also cramps on Kazuya and Mizuhara’s one on one moments so it’s a win and a loss lol.

And Mizuhara got one nice moment with Kazuya this episode after visiting her grandma, being told he’s a nice guy sent Kazuya over the moon lol which is understandable. And wow man, Yaemori couldn’t have been more misleading with how she nabbed Kazuya and acted the way she did lol, it was hot but once again, misleading to her actual goal. But hey, now Kazuya has a wingwoman in Yaemori which I can see either being awesome or not going so well but I look forward to more scenes with her, also the fact she’s a streamer makes a lot of sense lol.

And still no ED visuals sadly but I noticed Mizuhara was listening to it on her phone at the end which was cool, and if i remember correctly they did a similar direct reference to The Peggies in Season 1 since they did the OP for that one.

Ruka is truly an unbearable bummer. In addition to the fact that when she speaks she screams for no reason, her "trial boyfriend" excuse makes her a character that ruins moments that were previously enjoyable to watch.

It's always fun to see Ruka-chan appearing and freaking out when Kazuya and Chizuru are together XD. She's probably the best girlfriend candidate by far given how devoted she is.
Mini is really funny, she has... idk the right word to describe her personality, but it's a fun one!

Just when I thought Ruka cannot possibly get more obnoxious and insufferable, here she comes with a surprise. Seriously, just when I thought this show might start getting a little bit better, here she has to come out with her yandere bullshit.
Though she is a perfect fit for Kazuya, I just want her gone.

Damn Ruka really is making it more worse lol, to the point that Mini even hears it and shoots a video on her phone. Mini now knows that Chizuru is an Rental GF. Kazuya & Chizuru tell Ruka what they're doing and Ruka out here asking which food tastes better and man went for Ruka's lol.

Chizuru visits her grandma in the hospital. Kazuya got the greenlight for the movie but Chizuru doesn't seem too excited about it. Kazuya sets up an fund raiser thing and they already gathered 100k+ yen but he still needs a script. Mini out here pulling Kazuya into her house like its the most normal thing. Mini is an streamer apparently.

Chizuru out enjoying her cup of something and goes for a 2nd round.

decent episode.

things with ruka went better than i imagined.

but no way they get crowd funded so quickly. those home page pictures really helped i guess.

i thought the new girl would be a potential love interest but she's here to root for our mc? but i'm expecting her to fall for him eventually.

the scene with yaemori was totally unnecessary. mere fan-service for the sake of it. it was kinda funny tho.

but a weaker episode than most. looking forward to next one.

So far, not bad at all. Chizuru and Ruka continue to be waifu asf sure, but the important thing is Kazuya is looking relatively far more competent than he usually is, probably because he has something to do now. As for Mini, she's a good addition to the cast. Makes this show feel a little less dumb.

Ruka with horns was hilarious. That's because in most Spanish-speaking countries we say "poner el cuerno" (literally "put horns on someone's head") when someone is being cheated on.

Btw, I've ALWAYS loved Ruka, and this episode wasn't the exception... but, Mini, omg, her design is EXACTLY my type (my profile and list speak for themselves).

not even three minutes in and I'm filled with so much rage cause of ruka. how could someone write such a despicable, shitty character with absolutely no redeeming qualities and try to pass them off as an acceptable character to be part of a harem. her personality is disgusting, her behaviour is disgusting and predatory, and there is nothing physically attractive about her let alone being underage. nothing I'd love more than a violent death for her. she ruined last season. the vile bitch belongs in jail ffs. idk how i'm gonna get through this season if she's gonna be in it a lot so i'm fucking hoping mami has more screen time this season otherwise I might just have to make this my second drop. main girl chizuru or whatever her name is, needs to slap the shit out of her. genuinely one of the worst characters I've had to witness in anime. imma fuck off now xx

I feel bad for Ruka bruh. She deserves better lol. Either she should break up with him, or he should be honest with her about Chizuru and stop the relationship.
