Murai learning about Tanaka-sensei's crush of a figure, Hitotose sure gets all the boys riled up trying to play an Otome game...which obviously Murai has the chops for it, while his friends get all cringeworthy trying to think like a girl, which is exactly why he wants to imitate Hitotose as much as possible to win Tanaka's heart. Anything goes for anything Hitotose related, even a drawing by one of the influential illustrators that she follows on social media. But being on cloud nine whilst almost bring distracted by Murai, his friend Hirai sure nails all of the facial expressions between the two.

Murai being an all-achieving student to attend supplementary classses, there is no need for him to do so, but he stays back affter being done...just to watch Tanaka-sensei lols. This seek-and-destroy match between teacher and student sure gets the best of the former, and the latter just wants to share ice pops with her, no matter how long he waited for her and acted like a gentleman...not just in the POV of Hitotose.

As promised, Murai cosplays under the guise of the Nishifuji sisters, and the coincidence of him cosplaying as said character captures everyone's attention, as well as Tanaka...knowing that it's Murai in Hitotose's outfit. And him reaching out to her wanting to shake her hand...the real Mongolian Chop comes through.

Yelp, how many misunderstandings will they both want to commit?

Mongolian Chop FTW. This is excellent, shame it got locked in Disney jail so nobody will see it.

"Animation" is garbage but the story is funny so I'll stomach it another week
Censorship is vandalism.

More fun antics with Tanaka and Murai, seems like Murai studying up on the otome game got him some points with Tanaka, that glasses move was smooth, but I get that Murai wouldn’t want to win her heart this way, since she’s not really looking at him, she’s looking at Hitotose. That was a cute bit and all, but I liked the mental war Tanaka was having with Murai in class before that the most lol.

And the cosplay bit at the end was also great, Murai cosplaying the character he looks like practically made Hitotose a reality, this didn’t have the best effect on Tanaka tho when she displayed the Mongolian chop for all to see after it was joked about earlier in the episode, nice callback, it at least won over those sisters tho lol.

tough, loved but will give 4/5.
That seems like a really nice game and Murai seems much more compatible to picking the obvious answers while his friends disappointed me with their incompetence, they did allow us to see the responses to wrong answers.
Good on Tanaka-sensei continueing to hold strong with all this torture, that was an EXCELLENT Mongorian Chopu!
How they were both dressed up, but both instantly recognized each other, if I wasn't routing against them (at least while she's his teacher at a minimum to remove position of power problem) I would have found that so cuuuuute.
Those distorted voices oh god, Murai's fanclub is wild, more like stanclub.
So Murai and Tanaka have some history when they were younger, I would guess a minimum of 7 years younger if not more, this also would be a cuuuuute moment if wasn't for the totality of circumstances making any relationship with them disturbing.

The ugliest, most ill-intentioned animation I've ever seen. It's similar to the 4 rated isekai anime that was released this season too... Even the fan-made animation is still much better... I feel like the seiyuu's talents are being wasted by the bad animation that Jcstaff presented for this anime!!! 😭even though the storyline is quite interesting and the seiyuu really put their talent into making the characters very alive... Please really don't ruin this anime any further... It's better not to make it into an anime!!. This anime actually seems to destroy the original work🤬🤬🤬

Voice actors probably receive 90% of the whole anime budget but at least their voices worth the budget.
