Maid outfit and using cat ears for advertising huh? Lol, and cute birthday too.

Well, I'm glad to see that resolved well in the end this episode. Perhaps there is good hope when it comes to getting things done right after all in this series.

Nice episode giving some character depth to mainly Misono (uncertainty whether people like her company because of her personality, or because she's the Song Princess) and Kakei (accidentally eavesdropping his elementary teachers' conversion that throwing class birthdays are troublesome, but are part of the job. Creating his distrust of people's "good" actions).

A mandatory bath scene with a new contestant in the Kakei Harem Route (I sighed in relief when that clichéd scene was over)

A possible Happy End future for the Library Club? Seems intriguing.

I'm still waiting for an anime to have one of the boys say "yours got bigger" to another boy.
At least to change from the usual girl talk.

Anyways, good episode, but I guess that now we're going to have normal episodes instead of the search for the shepard.

Maid Kakei looked oddly nice! Just wished he'd alter his voice to play the role perfectly.
Kana gave into the spark of the moment; but quickly regained her usual mode. Look at Kakei being all sad because he can't be with her, otherwise the harem will fall apart.

Wasn't it cleared in the last episode that Tsugumi and the others looked after her as good friends, and not because she's "Uta Hime"? The forced drama was pointless.

Loved the comedic bath house scenes though. Kana envying Nagi and Tsugumi's chest size was hilarious!
Kakei drowning Ikkei once he figured out what was he thinking was pretty funny too. XD

Nagi played the (potential) lover's part well; riling up Kakei's harem for a positive cause but feeling uneasy herself. Poor her..

Nice conversation between Tsugumi and Kakei. I guess she was a nice sister for trying to make the lies come true so her sister won't be disappointed.
But what if she dies? What then? Are they just going to stop everything they're doing? :O

Does Kakei have some sort of supernatural ability, or was that his wishful thinking about the future of the library club? O.o
Either ways, nice seeing he's willing to continue with the Happy Project even after Golden Week too.

Average episode. Hopefully, we'll see Kakei meeting the Shepherd soon.

What's wrong with the guys in that school Sakuraba and Shirasaki where wearing great outfits and the guys went for the boring maid outfit?
They need to have a brain check.

In any case Nagi's comments seemed to have great effects on the other girls she is definitely planning something.

New opening AND ending animations, as far as I know.

I guess I liked this episode, but... somehow, it seems like some of the girls' actions - particularly in the bath house - kinda came out of nowhere.

Also, I'm probably alone in this, but Shirasaki is seriously starting to annoy me now...

This show seems like a normal harem through and through with a pinch of mystery. But somehow, it's one of the few shows this season I look forward watching each week.

Good episode.

And here I thought this show's a tale of a protagonist who once-in-a-while sees into the future and solves problems. The first episode gave that impression.

Seems like an average normal harem series. Let's see what next week brings us.

4 episodes in and still not a single hint of the MC's ability to see the future, It's like they forgot about it.

so far so good...
I'm loving this series more as I watch each episode <3

brave choice, to take this slow, making it seems like a normal daily life
unlike mainstream school, romance, and slice-of-life anime

I don't know why people think this series is bad due to its late plot development
the way I see it: Hoods has done well to introduce each character except MC (whose some part of him is still hidden)

but I don't think they are too late if they decided to introduce about him in next episode or next 2 episode:
1. he already told the audience about his ability in episode 1, so should Hoods decide to show what his ability can really do later, it's fine
2. lots of flashback describe what we really need to know about MC: how he thinks, how will he acts.
He is not as explosive or as dramatic as other MCs,
but for me, people like him is the one often unseen but society, which makes him the best MC for this kind of story

honestly, somebody please knock the head of society
this is a good anime, with a little OST touches this will be as epic as Angel Beats!
that's why they need to be patient and give this series a chance

A total of 6 girls in Kakei's harem? It was amusing how Nagi was teasing the girls and the girls was ignoring him. Glad to see Misono joining the club.

Kakei looks good in a meido dress. Oh and Misono too.

I love the ED. Listening to it makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

From the looks of it, I think I already know who Kakei ends up with.

Extra note: Needs more school student prez

I was just about to drop this anime but then i decide to do some reading about it ,
i dont want to spoil anything but there is a reason why this anime
become more and more of a harem with so many girls on the Library Club.
As for me i am going to keep watching it just to see how they will end it on 12 episodes.

as for this episode it was ok, Kakei in maid costume was a bit to much fo me :P

That was a rather useless and sad flashback to start the episode with.

Kyoutarou's looking really sexy there in that maid outfit :3

Suzuki and Kyoutarou :3

Dem cat ears...

LOL, Giza-sama is giving Misono some fanservice XD.

The girls sure didn't take what Kodachi said too well...

So Shirasaki lied to her younger sister about how her high school life really was and wanted to make them true by the time she joined eh.

Awww, they held a birthday party for Kyoutarou T.T

Nice episode overall.

So no characters specific arcs just like other harem visual novel adaptations? I don't know what to think about that but maybe its a good thing given their small production value. Playing it safe.

Misono joining the group! Giza giving his display!

Kana's complains in the bath xD Finding a new friendship with Misono!

Nagi is quite the mischievous girl xD Still quite the mystery!

Tsugumi not only doing this for herself but for her younger sister too ^^

Kakei wanting to give up on the feeling and it being renewed to a greater stage after the birthday party! The shepherd's message!

Now I wonder who is the shepherd? Removing Kakei and Nagi from that .. it might be even one of their classmates.

Also now... I really love Nagi's character. Can't wait to see more moments of her getting close to Kakei.

Finally the OP has some decent animation, always liked the song so no probs with that.

I feel like this anime suddenly got better along with the change in animation. Very nice episode, best one actually. And Nagi really is the best girl. Maybe she is the hitsujikai.

Didn't expect Senri to be a sadist, nice~

Phew finally a decent opening. I was kind of worried they even failed at that.
The show is okay I guess. Some of the harem bits are just a bit cheapskate, lol. I kind of wonder who the Sheperd is so that's why I'm still watching. ^-^

The OP animation has gotten a lot better, but at times the characters are moving too fast

The ED animation was also better

Even though it's a pretty standard harem comedy with all of the tropes, I'm still finding it to be refreshing. Idk, something about it just feels more genuine and heartfelt than most shows like this.

The same with the animation/character designs. It's very standard, but it gives off a certain vibe that's very appealing to me.

Maybe it's because I haven't watch any of the new stuff all year and have only been watching 80's/90's stuff this year?

Anyways, will definitely see this one through.

I think I'm gunning for Kana. I like her personality the most.

So, basically, Kodachi is Kakei's childhood friend he forget, right? Following some tragic event he left his home and start a new life with his books. And everything is just happening because they want him to remember his childhood memories, hm?

Still don't know what this series would be about other than slice-of-life school club doing things together but well.

I called the trap thing as soon as Misono asked where he was.
Poor bastard. Still...I like it so much...
My girlfriend was watching this show and asked if I knew what it was called in Japanese. So I looked it up and said; "Daitoshokan no Histujikai...it's based on a porn game. I found that much."
And thought nothing of it assuming the heroine was your standard redhead tsundere.
She's adorable. All of them are.
And Takamine is a total bro. Him and Kana make a great couple.
My happiness grows.
Incidentally I'm also watching Cinderella Girls and every time Tsugumi mentions "Happy Project" I hear Kirari going "Happy happy!" in my head.
I go by many names, some call me Hoshimaru, others call me Jiro or Aosou-Kun.
I believe myself a force for good, a papercrafter by trade, and one who seeks love and beauty animesque.
