| Tbh, I have mixed feeling about Serina. She was mentioned in the previous episode but here she is now. The fact that she is Kai's ex just adds more drama. However, this episode had a bunch of silly moments between her, Serina, and others. They maintain a light vibe among everyone despite Uka feeling more uneasy than usual. |
 |
| I don't know why but that cut to them sitting at a family restaurant for a group study session, and then Kai being there out of a sudden was so funny, like when did you got invited to this gathering, lol. Now, the new girl Serina seems like a quite the complicated character (with a big name VA), i am not suprised that shes Kai's ex tho, like at all. She should manage her pack of hens better tho, theyre all over the place. Also its not the drama, but the melancholy this anime is drowning in is off the charts. |
 |
| Serina seems a very interesting character am so looking forward to seeing more of her. |
| Can we kill those annoying bitches please oh my God I am so tired of their annoying jealous asses. Serina is so Fucking real for sticking up for Uka and Uka repaid the favor. But I am so tired of these girls talking shit about Uka and just being nasty even to resteraunt staff! Where are their parents. LMAO someone put the fear of God in them though since they apologized Serina is such a sweetheart ahh hearing Takarie in a shojo feels surreal. So she’s got 3 roles this season and slaying them all! I thought she was gonna be toxic when the PV first dropped but she’s actually really kind to Uka. I reckon things just didn’t work out with she and Miura but she does probably still have feelings. She’s just not nasty about it. That dude had a lot of nerve to take her phone and show it to Miura without her permission tho.. Speaking of which, Miura sensing Uka was a little jealous so he takes a nap with her in the storage room is sooo cute. He knows she can’t really express herself well yet and tries to meet her where she is. 🥺 love him sm Uka’s making a ton of progress but she’s still being self deprecating and I hate that. Don’t put yourself down so much! It makes me happy how everyone in class can tell she’s a little autistic and so they make sure to spell social cues out for her like getting upset at the guy over the “vibes” bit. Her ponytail look is so cute too!!  |

| Serina is a bit strange but not as strange as her friends are, the certainly have a strange relationship. The main is making more friends and her situation seems good. Now that she is in charge of the event i wonder how things will turn out. |
| You know Kai and Serina were a thing just from how they're both proficient at the "splash drink on annoying target" manuever. Wonder who learned it from who. The actual benefit to having Uka's pic in your phone? Suddenly becoming an absolute baller on the court. |
| It is fun, nothing special, but a good watch. |

| Slap in the face: 'I'm just fine, now back off bitches'. Friendly touch on cheek: *beet red, flee in fear* emotional dissonance there. Well, I am not going to get used to the eyes in this show. I am not going to get used to the poorly drawn legs and poorly animated walking. Serina so far is a candidate for best girl. ajw215799 said: What is the matter with these kids? I do not remember my generation being this utterly toxic My cohort was more polite, empathetic, and considerate, but more likely to beat the crap out of someone when offended. Much less meanness, particularly in pranks, but goddamn we did some hilarious pranks. |

| another great ep Serina is a great girl once again i love the music, beautiful eyes etc |

| Uka, more like uclock amirite? How dare those chicks hurt Uka both physically and mentally : ( Right when she was leaving it seems that Kai finally decided to be a bit more upfront with her, but you can't really blame Uka for comparing herself that way with Serina, she seems to perfect. |
| So, if you want to save someone from getting slapped, your best option is to hold the aggressor’s hand or arm, She’s not the violent type, lol, she just intimidates with her face 😂😂 |
| Uka having her hair being made into a ponytail by her classmate was such a good move. It really suits Uka a lot! =) Serina certainly made an impact it this episode. I wasn't really sure how she would act around Uka at first, but I'm glad that she's not only friendly, but she will not hesitate in standing up for those she cares for. Uka then stood up for her by taking the slap meant for Serina for herself instead, which was a reckless, but brave thing for her to do. Either way, it's nice that both Uka and Serina now have a new friendship between each other. It's not wrong to say that Uka can improve further, going by how Miura described her, but compared to how she was at the beginning of this series, she's has made good progress. Keep it up, Uka! |
| Oh my god, those girls are so hypocritical. They bully Uka and then after Serina humiliates them, they take it out on her, even though they're the ones going after her just because she's popular. And that apology? It was so hollow it made me even angrier. Serina really surprised me. At first I thought I wouldn't like her, but it turned out to be the complete opposite. However, I'm still a little intrigued by her and her backstory with Kai. As for Uka, she looked absolutely adorable with that new hairstyle. I hope she keeps it up! Plus, Kai approves of it, so that's a win. That being said, her inferiority complex is still strong. The moment she said she was used to being beaten up, I felt a mix of sadness and tenderness because she was defending Serina. But at least she's aware of how much she undervalues herself, which isn't very common for characters like her. So her next step to move forward is to take over the festival. |
 |
| Well Serina turned out to be cooler than I thought, it was actually her friends that were the assholes, that moment when she splashed them all was pretty epic, plus when Uka took that slap head on, but then that same group of bitches came back around later, I mean people can improve and that’s nice and all but damn that’s a rough introduction for them lol, at least Serina wasn’t a part of it. And it sounds like Serina had a pretty similar relationship to Kai that Uka has with him now, and it’s sad because it’s just furthering Uka’s belief that Serina is more deserving of him, so I guess even if Serina is chill there were still problems that arose with her introduction. But hey, at least Uka is still having great moments with Kai like the storage room scene in this one, and she’s got a nice relationship with her classmates going like when Yuru styled her hair into a ponytail, I like her original look a bit more but I can’t deny I love the ponytail look, it’s really cute. Also the ED had some different visuals this time, not sure why exactly but I guess it was to show the midterms happened, I don’t mind them showing it this way. |

Serina is such a sweetheart ahh hearing Takarie in a shojo feels surreal. So she’s got 3 roles this season and slaying them all!

| @Marinate1016 I can understand Uka´s feelings because I have similar feelings. Is not easy to take them away. I really loved this episode we could see Serina more, she seems so cool and I love when Uka and Serina interact. Serina defended Uka and Uka defended Serina!! I don´t understand why some other people claim Uka is not having character development, when she obviously is having progress,as you said, the girl literally stood up against bullies , is making efforts to help classmates and also decided to represent the class!! That takes a LOT of courage to an introvert girl, who was bullied. I´m so proud of Uka!! And yes, you are right, she looks so pretty with her new hairstyle. |
| really big step in the after-credits scene, proud of her. i like serina. |
 |
| I don't think that a ponytail goes well on Uka. Anyway, I totally feel for Kai, your ex talking to your current/about to be girlfriend is the worst 😔 Jokes aside, I like Serina, she could hold up as a main character if this was a different show. |
  |
| Cute episode as always. Didn't think Serina would be so nice though, such a surprise. Usually, protagonists' exes turn out to be such envious beings who are rude, jealous, and annoying. So Serina was a surprise. Excited to see what her role would be in the upcoming episodes. |
| I can't really remember much from this episode because i was half asleep watching it (because I'm sleep deprived not because i was bored) Ok the highschool girls in this show are either really nice or just complete jerks, I don't think anyone would willingly act that mean in that way atleast its something out of a disney movie but anime is anime i guess. And them suddenly becoming nice at the end like what? Yeah kai had something to do with that for sure. |
| Sorry for the people who dropped and I don't blame them because the earlier episodes are a torture watch, but this episode is so much better. Uka is a notch better, and Serina is so likable. Hope she's a nice girl as she appears to be, and you can't blame other dudes asking why Kai should break up with her if she's nice on top of being beautiful. |

| @Meritas Well, Serina resembles Yona from Yona of the Dawn. (haven't seen it yet so don't ask me about it). Why do I have this feeling that how Kai is treating Uka is similar to how Kai treated Serina at the start of their relationship? Serina must have experienced some form of bullying and Kai had to rescue her. She is a cool and likable girl so it's unthinkable why Kai would break up with her. |

@Love_And_Forward Ditto. God, Early Gen X, Last year boomers. Unsupervised savages. Mark Twain was right. Especially in Middle School.
| @Sheol01 Same. Seventies kid. |
| I swear does Takahashi, Rie just play all the angry characters I knew the moment Serina got angry that she was the same VA who plays Alina from the guild receptionist anime airing rn, either way great job. As for Serina herself I initially judged her and thought she'd be annoying but I surprisingly like her a lot which is strange because usually with the third character/Person who gets in the way of the mc's love I just end up hating or hating and eventually liking. But for whatever reason I really like Serina, it may be because im not really rooting for Uka when it comes to romance I just wanna see her develop as a person so Serina being in the show don't really bother me that much. (I also like Serina because we have a very similar hairstyle) I do really love this show because it has a very well done and accurate portrayal of things like social anxiety, being the loner in class and getting bullied. I know this because I've observed this stuff back when I was in school and its very accurate. The only difference being not everyone you see being bullied or picked on has a blonde kid come to the rescue |
| Uka really irritates me. But somehow I keep watching this haha. |
| Serina is an interesting character, especially her scene at the restaurant. The dynamic between her and Ishimori has piqued my curiosity. Also what’s up with Serina and her phone? The last episode, it ran away from her. This episode, someone just unlocks it and is interrogating her on her wallpaper. You would think that would be glued to the person. |
