Ah, can't forget about the other girls in this series.

More of a chill episode this week.
Although imo, it still had a thrilling feeling to it:


Never underestimate. Tachibana and Kanae has a cute chemistry imo especially on the track field.

Pretty sure it wasn't only me that had correctly guessed the sentiment of Hotaru's muted words to her teammates in Kanae's flashback. Wasn't surprised to see that it was all about how not giving up makes someone cool AF.

Although very cheesy, it wasn't as cringy as the previous episodes, well except for the Fujimoto scenes maybe. I like how this show continues to pander the fujoshis while having all the Shounen cliches going for it. Shounen X Shounen Ai vibes. Very neat, I must say.

Best part of the episode was Yukimura narrating his S&M manga. Ichi contemplating how Fujimoto should be admitted to the hospital (while they're inside one) was quite funny too.

A rather chill episode this time around, which makes sense after several intense survival game episodes. Pretty cliche shounen moments in this episode with the "never give up" attitude, which wasn't all that surprising.

It looked and sounded like Yukimura was fapping while narrating his manga. I honestly would not be surprised if hentai mangakas fap to their own work in real life lol.

Ah Fujimon.....just get a room with Midori already (I noticed him checking out Midori's ass while he was telling him to put on some clothes). The fujoshis are being hardcore teased by the way Fujimon acts toward Midori.

I also found it pretty funny how Ichi talked to herself about putting Fujimon in the hospital while they were standing in a hospital. It kind of reminded me of One Piece when Chopper freaks out and calls for a doctor and then remembers that he's the doctor lol.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

The usual "slow episode after the end of an arc". I cringed during the entire track field scene and felt the Kanae moment lacked impact. Oh well. Next episode looks like a funny one, though.

And really? Just a breakfast? These bois need to go wild as soon as possible, I can't wait any longer!

Well... this episode had a lot fewer plot holes than the rest of the show so in that sense it was a huge improvement. On the other hand the only reason that's the case is because nothing really noteworthy actually happened in the entire episode

The fujoshi pandering is getting a bit annoying but whatever, I know I'm not part of the target demographic for those elements anyway

Hotaru was such a gentleman, draping her blazer on Kanae. I really wanted them to kiss haha.


I'm not sure if Yukimura was fapping or just drawing...

we lack only a proper tran- oh, wait, right... this episode showed everything.

it was also a pretty good one, while most of it is a fujoshi bait-field,(and i hate that) everything else it's pretty cool, and i don't see why the running scene would be cringe-worthy... it amakes sense considering characters and story, it was definitely the best way to cheer up hotaru from both an ethical and plot point of view.

I get the feeling Masamune is the girl who got hunted down. If Hotaru can crossdress as a boy, then surely Masamune can play at being a girl. Unless he's actually trans that is.

Great, here comes the yuri shipping. -_- Anyway, don't wanna be mean/critical to the show, but didn't care much for this ep, since it had too many dirty things for my taste (yes Yuki, I'm looking at you). Weird how they're making Fujimon and Midori's interactions, it feels like Fujimon likes Midori, but this is a shounen, it shouldn't have yaoi, right??

But glad to see Hotaru's back to normal. Kanae was ticking me off at first, with her stupid ideas of what girls should do. She's one of those characters I see. (girls too focused on just shopping and looking pretty) At least her helping Hotaru in the way she did redeemed her to me.

Since I watched this on YT (didn't wanna wait this time, sorry), there was no preview. But I hope Hotaru really does (FINALLY) tell them she's a girl! But now I'll have to wait even longer... T-T

Good friend Kanae.

Tachibana is probably gonna reveal her gender next episode.. there's a scene in the preview where she looks down and looks kinda nervous or worried..

They have to stick together though. (}༼⊙-◞౪◟-⊙༽{)

Yeah, I've been thinking something like this too. I get the feeling there wasn't a girl who got attacked at all but rather that it's all about Matsuoka. I think Yukimura probably changed the story when he told it to her so that he could save Matsuoka's pride or something. I'm not sure whether protecting girls from harm is really quite the reason girls aren't allowed on the team either. Hmm something definitely seems off somewhere. I could be really wrong though.

A yuri and yaoi episode huh? After that cute scene with the blazer, I'm shipping Hotaru and Kanae now. I'm not really into yuri, but I wouldn't mind it happening in this anime. Hotaru is a gentle-woman! LOL!

I so fucking ship Kanae x Hotaru. I love them. I like some yaoi couples but I can't stand Midori and Fujimon, Fujimon is tolerable but he's like a fucking dog. Midori could get herpes for all I care.

Mawr Yukimura please. He's the best character in this series next to Hotaru and Kanae.

Jesus christ, never have I ever seen such a boring episode before. I'd like to say it's useless but it isn't because they fix one of Tachibana's problems. He seems to have more problems coming with next episodes. Jeez. Hopefully a second season which will be better because they can't probably make an entertaining last fight within the two remaining episodes. With the next one being used for the bromance.
1/5.

The best part of this filler episode was without a doubt the Fujimon househusband scene. Hahahaha!! It was so unexpected and came out of nowhere! Also, Fujimon's teddy bear sandwiches were so adorable~! <3

I just realised that there is so much S&M going on in this series. I feel like the biggest Do-S is without a doubt Midori, whereas the Do-M are Fujimon and Masamune. Yukimura, on the other hand, is reversible!!

Yukimura.... I had to do a double take at what he was doing at his desk with his feet propped up.... Please.... Never change. XDDDD

Damn this episode felt short, probably due to lack of content, but it's good to have a slow paced episode after an action packed one last week. Guess we'll find out what happens to Toy Gun Gun next week!

Watching Kanae was fun, but really nothing happened this episode except Tachibana getting back on her feet. The real recovery starts next week though.
