This anime once again manages to pair up Mona and Medaka together, this time at the school festival. It's an extended part of episode 3 but pretty amusing how hard she still tries to get his attention.

They also added the bowling segment into this episode. In a nutshell, Mona's smiles are still shining brighter than ever.

Mona is just trying so hard to get Medaka's attention I love how determined she is her smile at the end when Madeka shared his textbook with her was just so precious.

So now even Haruno is simping for Mona to the point where she confronted Medaka just like the other 2 guys. What they don't know is that Mona has ulterior motives whereas Medaka just wants to be left alone. Having said that, the guys had a point where they said that Medaka doesn't have to act cold but they don't get how hard it is for Medaka to resist Mona's charms although at this point I think Mona likes Medaka more than he does her.

Honestly, who cares is Kuroiwa is cold to Mona? It’s not like it’s hurting anyone, just her narcissistic ego

Mona looks stupid in this episode, more like all episode, love really makes people look stupid, isn't it? Or is it her pride that make her look stupid? I couldn't tell.

But what I hate the most is the "peer pressure" scene. Those friends think they're doing something right, but all they did is just meddling into other people's affair, almost to the point of harrassing Medaka. Well, they're all just teenagers so I shouldn't be too strict about it.

“No guy can ignore me in this position” *gets ignored* lmaooo Mona give it up. I guess she did take some W’s today by technically getting Medaka to hold her hand on the bridge, the bowling alley date and an indirect kiss.. baby steps.

I was wondering when Mona’s fan club would get involved. From the outside, it does seem like Medaka is being mean to her. In reality he’s just trying stay true to his principles and she’s harassing him constantly. Lost it when he instinctively pulled away from her desk as she got closer lmao

Mona isn’t owed everyone’s attention just because she’s popular and has all the other guys simping for her!! She and her fan club need to learn that.

I don't think Medaka was treating Mona badly, but her Mona fan club definitely sees it that way. The only thing hurt is Mona's ego for not getting Medaka's attention. They are basically forcing him to deal with her. But they are somewhat right in saying that Medaka's religion doesn't prohibit him from communicating with women. This was all just to speed up the story, otherwise, there would be no development between Medaka and Mona. Very convenient and annoying, in my opinion.

I never understood why Medaka couldn't fall in love with Mona. His grandfather is a monk also. I assumed his dad was also regilous. So, how does Medaka think how he brought into this life if having a relationship with a girl is against tenets?

The milk the silly school romance legend trope for all it was worth, and more.

And then my least favorite of romance anime tropes, flipping out over the so called indirect kiss.

A bit disappointed with the bowling scene, I wanted a lot more of watching Mona's derriere and legs while she rolled strikes.

"How TF does "saintly" describe Mona's behavior? Cute, wonderful, delightfully flirty, and a bunch more, but saintly? The fan club did set Medaka straight, don't fall in love, but be polite and friendly goddamn it. Courtesy to others will not cause you to fall in love with them. The forbidden fruit attraction from avoidance may actually increase your risk.

Well the bridge of love didn’t play out exactly like Mona wanted, but she did manage to hold Medaka’s hand at least, it may have been after the festival ended technically but it still counts for something, very cute scene too. I think my favorite bit of the episode tho was the after party when Mona tried forcing an indirect kiss with Medaka’s cola, Medaka didn’t want it no more but the cola sure was enjoying Mona’s lips lol, she looked pretty silly there but I think that made it even better.

And the 2nd half saw Mona’s stormtroopers and also Haruno giving our boy some shit for being mean to Mona, we all know it’s just his mechanism for dealing with Mona’s cuteness, but to them I guess it looks like he hates her lol, I can understand that, but then again they don’t really need to be meddling in Mona and Medaka’s affairs since it’s none of their business. However, I do appreciate them stepping in just to make things more interesting and get the romance moving, if Medaka constantly gives Mona the stink eye they aren’t gonna get anywhere, and we saw Medaka try and be nice to Mona at the end but he could only meet her half way when he couldn’t quite make the joined desks thing happen lol, can’t blame the man but they did get it eventually. Now I’m just hoping Asahi actually becomes relevant next week, the episode title sounds promising.

Okay, after a rough start, I've finally started to come around and like Mona. Now that it's becoming clear that she actually has a crush on him and isn't solely attempting to manipulate and deceive him, this show is becoming adorable. And his friends are fantastic: they respect his religion while clearly showing him that he doesn't have to be a dick to Mona, he "just" has to avoid falling in love with her :P

Someone should have explained this to him from the start. You can be nice, but try to date them if it's against your religion.
Liked the ending. And that she ACTUALLY has feelings for this guy. I guess playing hard to get GOT to her! ROFLMAO

Cute episode as always. That last bit reminded me of when i was told to sit next to girls in school back when i was a kid and how i used to always ignore such statement as if it was never said due to how shy i got from actually doing what Medaka did there.

If the new girl that's promised next ep is as annoying as the rest of the cast, I'm dropping this. Medaka is okay, but the rest of them have 1/2 dimensional personalities.

Mona is nice but so dumb. If you want to hold hands with Medaka, why would you tell him about the legend?

Anyway, it's downhill from here as Medaka would gradually stop acting like Steve.

What the hell is up with CR's translations? The translator’s got some kinda creative delirium and is overdoing shit, it's annoying.

Mona is the one who tried too hard, but somehow they all blame Medaka for being cold towards her... at least I think she does has some feelings for him, so hopefully if he start treating her nicely, she will really fall for him.

Kawai being ridiculous as per usual. Hopefully the tone changes up a bit since her antics are starting to get a bit annoying. Hopefully I don’t end up giving this lower than a 6.

Also, Kuroiwa can’t catch a break at all from all fronts, poor guy.

Seems like Asahi’s having her full debut next episode. Looking forward to watching that.

Well school festival wasn't a success for Mona but it was still fun and who knows if the bridge lover rumor is true or not... anyway they still care about indirect kisses and all, and it's true that no matter his religion it doesn't need to stop Medaka from being polite with the girls

You are not forbidden from holding basic conversation and formalities right. Mona antics is bothering for sure but she did help out time to time so he is getting scolded by simp army and Haruno(part of it) kinda right. Atleast it's gonna change things from same gimmick.

Mona got few Ws finally. that cola drinking scene perfectly timed with Haruno strike, hilarious.
Mona carries this show hard.

Her narcissistic personality makes her so fucking desperate for Medaka's attention. Its quite embarrassing.

She literally made herself fall to make Medaka hold her hand. What the fuck? Why are people into this shit?

Mona drank more than half of the soda lmao

Why is no one respecting the boundaries Medaka keeps trying to place?

What's gonna happen once he joins the fan club?

I've said it once and I'll say it again, imagine if the roles were reversed 💀

This episode was a bit boring, but other than that, the whispering at 18:09 made me feel like I was watching a movie, not an anime.

If only they knew mona has bad intentions. Then their advice would be more sound.

Behold of my awesomeness~
controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.
