----------------------------------------
Oh boy, gossip spreads fast at school. I almost feel bad for Yukari as he got put on the spot. Misaki and his relationship seems to also got more tense.

Lilina gets more screen time this episode and tbh, she's more open about her thoughts. The scene where Misaki got pushed down on the floor mat with Yukari was pretty awkward imo. Between the main leads, I find Lilina both amusing and awkward to watch. She seems to be really excited about anything related to love..

It's finally Lilina's time to shine! Sorry Misaki, step aside for a while.
Albeit she doesn't have experiences about love she is the one that is reacting to this whole marriage thing like a normal person. It sucks to get paired with a stranger but acting like Yukari did was just rude. At least she is thinking about it instead of just pretending nothing happened.
Btw they skipped a certain scene (was from a .5 chapter but still), I wonder why lol.

Honestly those classmates of Lilina are pretty cruel calling her bug and all.
Anyway she seems like a nice girl tho she is a bit strange but not in a bad way so far i like her.
Tho in the heat of the moment she get so focused on something that she forgets other things like wearing a skirt in this case.
Well she seems very understanding tho.

She is in love with the idea of romantic love, so she can't help to like Yukari and Misaki's love story, that sounds like Romeo and Juliet.

Well there is nothing wrong with liking romance tho it might be hard on her in the future seeing the relationship she is in with Yukari.

FUCK, Ririna is fucking amazing too >.< The biggest plus is that she's not a god forsaken tsundere like I thought she was going to be and instead is a really sweet and cute girl who I just want to see smile forever and always TwT

This is gonna suck for me lol because I love Misaki too and I want her to and Yukari to be together forever, but at the same time, I would totally be okay if he ends up with Ririna too.....The 1 on 1 interactions between the 3 were fantastic too and I'm so happy for both Ririna and Yukari for finding that true friend that they can be real with in each other

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK MY LIFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WHY DID THIS EPISODE HAVE TO BE SO GOOD AND MOST OF ALL HAVE THE THIRD WHEEL BE SO GREAT TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read chapter 4.5 so I already know the twist that's coming with somebody but the hints are there and I think it's better that they didn't animate it....It's good to have a few surprises and keep things a bit more organic and slow instead of just playing all of your cards at once like this manga chapter did but yeah, this Ririna situation is going to be something else since it looks like she's gonna play cupid for Yukari and Misaki

Great episode overall yet again though

I was gonna come in and say the same thing. XDD
I totally thought Ririna was gonna be a Tsundere as well, did not expect her to be so sweet and lovable. <3

Ahh, when she cried after the meeting with Misaki, I was melting. Such a pure girl, really love how straight forward she is as well, I think I relate to her in a way. Sorry HanaKana, I think Ririna edges out Misaki for me by a tiny margin. :(

Impending heartbreak one way or the other, I am not ready for this.

Great episode overall.

Looked like Yukari was close to get used to the idea getting married with a stranger when he saw Lilina.

And I know it's part of their system and forced marriages were and are still common in some cultures, but I was quite astonished how insensitive the parents acted.

I didn't expect them to try something which would call off the whole thing, just thought they could be more considerate about the feelings of their children.


Other than that it was cool to see that Lilina is shipping Yukari and Misaki xD Felt also a bit bad, tho, since her classmates aren't treating her nicely.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I would probably rather die than to have to pick between those 2....I can't even root for either of them 100% because I love them both so much >.<

I found Ririna's voice acting wasn't that good, which was fairly distracting, but I'll overlook it. I find that the not-often-talked-about problems of high school life are pretty well-presented so far in the series, surprisingly. I'm interested to see why the interactions of Yukari's friend and Misaki are like so.

Fuck they butchered Lilina's voice, the OSTs were off and didn't fit the situation most of the time, the direction was awkward. I'm glad I already read the manga..
well, I still enjoyed these first 2 eps regardless, the art and visuals were good too.
and Misaki will still be the best girl no matter what...

I have a feeling that Yukari will hurt both of them in the course of this.

Lilina is nice, i didn't expect it. Now i'm really conflicted cause they get along well together (Yukari's line about about how it's easy to talk to her made her really happy).

She obviously didn't develop feelings for him yet so she wants to see him and Takasaki succeed.

Fuck, who do i root for?

The pacing is kinda weirdly fast in this anime. The show itself is solid enough, but if there were more pausing in between dialouge and slightly longer conversations with the side characters it would be better.

It definitely picked up from the first episode though. I liked the classroom's reaction when MC said he skipped his first meeting.

Oh yeah, and Lilina got introduced. Guess that marriage system is pretty reliable after all, since Yukari and her have some pretty good chemistry.

Ha! Lilina is not the bad kind of tsundere.

She is not mean and only punched him when he was rude himself. Unlike a certain gorilla from the 1.0 version XD

And most importantly, she didn't punched him when it was an ACCIDENT.

But that's only the first episode with her, gotta watch more to truly evaluate her tsun levels.

Also, if there's something to love about this anime, is the opening.

Well, they are pretty close to manga, in fact almost 1:1 but they are kinda lacking on execution and atmosphere part. OST was somehow all over the place, not really fitting the mood and both Ririna/Yukari actors are just bad choice or badly directed (Tanikaze had much better tone accent in Sidonia no Kishi and don't think Sakura from Tsubasa Chronicles is the best voice archetype for Ririno). Seems like they blew all the money on HanaKana but she alone can't drive this story forward, that's for certain.
Have to say I liked Ririna a lot more in the manga and the pacing in the anime was... maybe too fast to create some depth in their relationships, which is kinda paramount in this series?

Well, let's hope they sorts out those little quirks and catch up with the next episode cause otherwise the anime isn't half-bad so far.

I'm liking Ririna already. Though she was going to be one of those typical tsundere characters because of last week's episode but she ended up being sweet, cute and innocent. I also like Misaki as well. This going to be a hard choice. Ririna or Misaki?? I can't choose. (>_<) But i'm glad that Ririna and Misaki got along. Ririna made her first friend.

I have a feeling Yuusuke will be a dick. A real one.

I have to admit, there were some very funny moments. I kinda like this weird love/friends triangle. Worst thing that could happen is that Ririna and Yukari are actually falling in love as time goes on. It would be rather funny if they would have the fake marriage and he would be in a relationship with Misaki secretly.

Looking forward to the next EP.

She is in love with the idea of romantic love, so she can't help to like Yukari and Misaki's love story, that sounds like Romeo and Juliet.

She is in love WITH THE PURE LOVE

I think the way it goes that, as of now Misaki and Yukari are in... love (pure or otherwise), but as the time passes Ririna also unveils that kind of love towards Yukari, and so begins the crisis - they will both share the sadness of not being able to give up neither their friendship, nor their true love. Atop a dystopian society. No matter what directions it *takes*, I believe yet another puzzle piece will be provided... Closer again to uncover that beautiful mystery of what love is.

Interesting development. I can see where the attraction so many people seem to have for Riri but I'm not sold.
I'm bothered how easily people are attached to each other. The few cliche scenes is also very poorly done and I just cringe at the whole unbuttoned blouse, falling on top of her and the panties thing.
They should of kept that out.
It is already odd that Takazaki liked him over an eraser thing. Maybe they liked each other for more than that. I know it can happen. But they kissed after confession, seems a bit quick as they only talked only once prior. They may of liked each other for awhile... or it may be the short amount of remaining time... So they kissed.
So I let that pass.

But how quickly Riri got to befriend both of them is surprising. Maybe because he is assigned to her. But how can Takazaki talk about her love to a practical stranger so easily?
IDK, I'm having bad feelings about this. I do like the concept but the execution so far isn't that impressive.
Maybe it is the pacing's fault in which why I think it is far too quick. At least a time skip for a day or even a week would make it more believable.

Yukari and Lilina's interactions were the crux of the episode. A mix of hilarious and poignant, they could shed some light on the nature of the Yukari Couples. I liked how they didn't make Lilina overly haughty and arrogant as expected of someone of her stature, it makes her more grounded and relatable. Her talk with Misaki was equal parts funny and dramatic. Overall, this was a a pleasant episode.
