The dots are being connected now we know what the characters saw in each other and how they met.
It was surprising that the main realised it so late to still it's nice to see them meet like that again.
Not the question is how will the girls handel this seeing things are tense with Himari realising that she might not be alright with this.
Rion must have been really impressed with the first meeting for her to still have those feelings.

Oh Himari, she does have a vulnerable side after all. Luckily, she and Yuu did get closer.

Himari teasing Yuu about Enomoto for a kiss and a kiss tease herself was priceless. That scene was the most Yuu got nervous so far in the show. I swear, Yuu is going to be teased by Himari to the end of time. Got to also see some of Enomoto's character background when she was younger. She looked good in her casual outfit and has chemistry with Yuu in the show too.

It seems a love triangle is beginning to form already. But, as a girl who doesn't show her face appears in the OP, the relationship may develop into a love polygon.

Himari wants Yuu to be with a girl who understands and values him, so she sets him up with Rion. But unbeknownst to her, the feelings of giving Yuu to someone else are stirring something deeper—those anxious emotions are growing. I wonder how long it’ll take for her to fully realize the true nature of her feelings for Yuu.

Hibari, Himari’s older brother, is such a gem. I love how openly he supports Yuu marrying Himari, and honestly, I’d love to see more of him with Yuu. His personality is hands down the best in the whole show right now.

Really nice episode
I like that we got the reveal that Yuu and Enomoto have met before as usually something like that gets revealed at the end.

wow, I fully expected this whole thing dragged out that Enocchi is the girl Yu met back then, but it was revealed to him almost right away, impressive stuff really. But I won't let this pleasant surprise make me get ahead of myself, last season I was baited by this several times.

It would be nice for change of pace that Himari support Yuu and bit of drama would be nice and we got ending like that but yea i guess author would go for first girl. Tho for my opinion Himari is still more fun choice.

I gotta say, maybe Yuu and Rion could make a nice couple, but that make my girl Himari kinda sad

Maybe they will eventually become a couple, then he can probably gain different prespective

These two girls are clearly the complete opposite of each other.
Rion is soft-spoken, calm, very very shy, but honest, she is aware of her feelings and has already started to act on them, despite clearly not having a lot of self-confidence.
Himari is loud, a jokster, very confident and self-aware about her looks, a teasing (we could even say flirting) little demon, but not honest with herself, not good at understanding her own feelings (so it could be some time before she even think about declaring them to Yuu).

The love triangle really starts to take shape in this episode, as Himari pushes Yuu and Rion to spend time together, only to regret it soon after.
Interesting to see that Rion seems to have that other dude as some sort of love coach, and considering Himari and this guy's past, part of me is thinking maybe we'll even have more than one love triangle after all.

Pretty great episode, the girls are lovely, the burgeoning Yuu-Rion romance is adorable and Himari's antics are hilarious.

This anime really wants to show that Himari is annoying, both ep 1 and 2 have many scenes where she gratuitously bothers the MC. It's painful to watch but I guess that's just my taste, clearly there's people who enjoy that, like the MC. So we already know his taste in girls, and there's also the older sibling trope. Rion only serves as plot device to mature the relationship between the other two.

Well... After seeing the second episode it seems things are going to get messy in the future.
With one girl who met Yuu first and is sure of her feelings for him and another girl who isn't sure of her feelings yet but has spent quite a long time with him, things are sure to get messy. The animation is good and the art is quite neat and clean and I think it is already pre determined who is going to be the Best girl this season.

Rion grabbing the opportunity to reveal where the girl from the garden went as soon as she noticed her chance to sure did bear immediate fruit. The moment Yuu finally connected the dots must've been magical.

As conflicted as Himari's heart must be, if Yuu's own sister is on her corner, she probably won't have to worry about the endgame too much. And wow, her dedicated ED is super catchy.

Rion confessed that she was Yuu's first love in elementary school: now team Himari is in danger.

This makes my opinion of Himari even clearer. She's going to hurt herself by trying to support Rion and Yuu's relationship now that they've both reunited with their first love. The sad thing is that Yuu does seem to be in love with Himari, but as I said, Himari will have a hard time making the first move and it will probably be too late by the time she realizes her mistake.

BWA-HA!

wait... WHAT!?
I like how fast that reveal was and that the characters are aware of it already, we're in for an early drama.

Both girls has actual connection to Yuu.
And Himari is playing the supportive friend to those 2, at the cost of her own feelings or maybe she just doesn't realize its 'love' yet.

Himari is really fun and cheerful and her teasing is really cute aswell. BUT if she is going go with this match making stick early is not something I am a fan of. Kinda similar to Hina but in way less toxic and jealous way.

In comparison Enocchi despite being shy she is straightforward and honest. I am happy she didn't drag out her past and confessed that very early. Loved her boldness. Ik who my best girl is. Probably has 0 chance against main cover girl (also unlike the amazing OP the entire ED is dedicated to Himari).
Still I am puffing hopium and copium...

She's bottling up those feelings, but love is a strong thing, so eventually they will burst out. We're pretty early for drama, so I wonder how will the authors handle this sensitive situation...

Yea, this has all the makings of an all time classic romcom I fucking love it. Another great episode, Himari put her foot in her mouth and might’ve just opened up a can of worms by setting Yu up with Rion as a creative muse, lol. Now he’s got his first love back in his life. This is going to get messy and I’m ready for it.

“What if we made out, as best friends of course” really need a collab between Himari and Mimimimi from Tomozaki because their playful energy is so similar. The way they both play off their true feelings as a joke because they’re afraid to take that next step.. love them. I think Himari’s such a great support for Yu, though. Can this show break the mould and let the blue haired childhood friend win!!?

“The hibiscus represents delicate and new love” ahhhh my boy found his new first love. Things are gonna get spicy now aren’t they? Poor Himari realizing she kinda set herself up there; but at the same time it was essential Yu meet other people and get other sources of inspiration because his jewellery while good, had gone a bit stale. New experiences and relationships are what help creatives push themselves to new heights. A love triangle could be just what his business needs!

Fun episode! Himari older brother is great too πŸ˜‚

The girl went ahead and dropped her identity right away, which is wild and def not the norm in these stories. I thought it would take a few episodes or hit us with a big dramatic love triangle reveal. This whole switch-up is such a breath of fresh air!

Honestly, the fact that the characters are so real and upfront is a huge plus. But I gotta say, I’m low-key worried this honesty won’t last, and fingers crossed it doesn’t get messy. I’m bracing for some major feels because you know one of the girls is gonna end up hurt. But for now, I'm all about Enomoto! βœ¨πŸ™Œ

Himari is such a menace man 🀣 big time instigator. She gives me big time Yuki vibes from Roshidere. She knows what she’s doing. That evil grin.

16:05 “Back then?” πŸ‘€πŸ€”

17:00 Himari deciding here to support Yuu and Enomoto, but I think we all know how this is gonna end 🀐

19:20 and here we are seeing Yuu and Enomoto’s first encounter together “back then” which is what Enomoto was referring to earlier

Man Enomoto is all opened up to Yuu there at the end πŸ€£πŸ™ŒπŸ» let’s goooo. Amazing episode.

Himari continues to be the type of girl that I always like. She might be a mischievous and naughty, but seeing what she gets up to with Yuu and Rion always makes me smile. =)

It does look like things are already shifting in terms of romance. Yuu and Rion did meet in the past at a botanical gardens, which led to Yuu loving flowers the way he does in the present. Both Yuu and Rion would make for a nice couple, I will say, but Himari herself is conflicted about how she truly feels Yuu. This love triangle will be interesting to see how it will develop in later episodes, depending on if Himari makes her move sooner, later or not at all.

The ED song, just like the OP song, is rather upbeat and full of Himari flashing her charming smiles. I like it a lot!

Bruh. What was the point of Himari leading on Yu for a kiss. She's such a troll. But I think there's more to it. She's probably in love with Yu but doesn't realize it herself. She's trying to bury it by convincing herself that she's his "best friend" instead. I never saw a best friend who gets this touchy-feely. The ending of the episode basically confirms this. But the question still remains: why?

The date with Yu, Himari, and Rion was cute. Rion grabbing Himari with her face is so funny. I like that it's probably going to be a running gag lol. Didn't expect to get her backstory in the 2nd episode. So, she's like Yu's childhood crush. Or more like he is her childhood crush? I wonder if Rion had a feeling that he was the same guy before the date.

I was hooked with the first episode already, but the 2nd episode got me even more hooked. Didn't think that was possible. Really love the story so far and where it will go next. And yeah, the ED being fully about Himari isn't a great sign... But I'd rather have a conclusive love triangle than an open-ended one, even if it ends up with one character suffering a lot.

Stuck your foot in it now Himari. 'Oh I going to play romantic wingman for my bestie. Hey, that worked rally well. Now having denied my own feeling for years, and multiple times this episode sabotaged my own chances, I am FINALLY going to do a bit of self reflection about my feeling.' Hell, I love you Himari, but you have damn well already earned makeine status. You have one hell of a deficit to climb out of now, not to mention how much more you succeeding will hurt Rion.

The only redeeming factor about this is she didn't wait until the last ep to tell him that she's the girl he met back then, otherwise the story is as generic as they come and you just know another losing heroin is loading, tears will be shed.

That Himaris 'kiss-teasing' could come back to haunt her in the future. It depends on the person, but some might never allow themselves to entertain romantic thoughts again after this kind of 'joke.'

Good episode, got to see Himari's vulnerable side at the end of the episode. I really liked the part where Yuu and Enomoto were at the flowers. That part was really touching. And the part where Himari was teasing Yuu about kissing, man, that was good. As if it wasn't obvious already, there's a love triangle, and it seems pretty interesting. Really excited to see how that turns out.

Overall, good episode, hopefully Enomoto will be able to confess to Yuu.

Himari got some competition... And she might regret helping them.

If this is how it is going to go, I can't imagine what kind of drama will come next to solve the situation in favor of any of the girls. And the guy doesn't look like one of those with harems and such.

Surprised to see Girl 2's backstory with Yuu be explored so early. I definitely thought they were gonna prolong it for longer. Himari you've GOTTA win girl we can't have another losing blue hair girl. Anyways this episode was pretty fun. Curious to see where it goes from here.

Ngl a part of me is starting to seriously dislike Himari, She's like Hina from blue box but if you made her 50x more annoying. At first I was annoyed this was a love triangle because apparently every god dam romance in existence is a love triangle.

But honestly I like ennochi way more than Himari so she's welcome to stay even if she don't end up with Yuu. Getting to see Yuu and Ennochi's past was cute though.

Generally a decent episode which Himari kinda dragged down.




Im begging you future manga artists years from now please drop the love triangle bs troupe and just write a normal romance from the heart.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
