Heh, it looks like Ichika got to share some screen time with Kai Tamaru. Not that I'm surprised though...she's a friendly person so it's not hard to make friends with others.

Unlike Ryou, Kai also doesn't seem like a womanizer. Episode is interesting as it brings out other supporting cast now and it's only the third episode. Ryou's dialogues in this show still entertaining imo though. I also kinda like Kai this episode as he can be quite a relatable person, similar to the ones you'd find at school.

Jealousy arc incoming. No cap but what's it with japanese and colds and making them out to be the worse thing to ever happen? Funny episode on the whole anyways with Ryou being his usual weird self!

Kai starts to like Ichika as expected. The study book that Ryou made came in handy, he finally did something for her sake.

The comedy still doesn't really work for me, but at least this episode had more going on than just the attempts at comedy, so it felt less boring to me than the previous ones.

Still, making the girl slowly fall in love with the dude that keeps stalking her is er... questionable. The camera/framing isn't sexual towards her though unlike higehiro that says X and does Y, which gives this show a more 'shoujo/josei'-esque feel to me, so I guess his persistence and attempt at exerting dominance over teenager guy is supposed to come across as romantic, not as desperate?

Ngl but the guy is probably top tier husbando material...even as a dude I have to say that and agree in this point. His actions are really showing that he is serious about this relationship and I have high hopes for a wholesome one

Best episode so far. The show is turning into a hidden gem for me. Score up to 9/10. Mad respect for the FL as well, this is really rare in an anime show to see. I wish the ML had the same guts as well, instead of going into the "deny and make lame jokes" route...

Best boi Tamaru???? I love how disinterested & aloof Enoki Junya made him sound. And sadly that audio quality is still ass ㅜㅡㅜ

Felt bad for Ryou being misunderstood. He may seem frivolous & his overwhelming affection & actions may be too much but he’s definitely not insincere. His intentions aren’t that horrible to say the least. But can’t blame Ichika for feeling that way. I’m glad they made up in their own way, a sweet episode indeed! That study guide was too cute!

I like them all. I like Ryou, I like Ichika, and she will definitely develop feelings for him, already has, but I dunno it would actually be compelling if they developed a strong friendship/Ichika has a positive influence over Ryou/they learn something from each other & don’t actually develop into a couple. But nah, not that kinda story. It’s your good ol’ shoujo romcom. Not that I’m complaining!

Really like the ED♡ Have been listening to it thru the week!

Well this anime really got good fast I mean by just watching the first episode I could've seriously dropped it(if I wasn't cripplingly addicted to romance animes) but the 3 ep rule worked again. Really like the characters especially the new boy Kai and the main lead. Tbh I don't really like the male lead not because of the stalking or that he's quite older(we've now come to accept this in anime) but the part where ichika confronts him and tell him how uncomfortable he makes her feel hes shocked but then continues to act the same the next day(not necessarily bad because ichika likes him that way) but the only reason ichika is confused about how to deal with him (to shut him out or take interest) is because she has no dating or romantic experience.

I don't think my opinion of Ryo-san will change by the end of the anime(but I'm hopeful) because 3 episodes of constant nagging(I won't say stalking because that's too harsh because he definitely has feelings for her) can't be redeemed that quickly as his interactions didn't provide any comedy or were of any interest.
I hope this anime goes in a mature route as in ryo realising that he does not have real feelings for ichika rather she's just the first girl who didn't throw herself on him (which is what most Normal highschool girls would do )
Anyway really invested in this anime it's a 6 for me right now but I expect it to be at least a 7.5 by the end. It just needs to beat bottom tier character tomozaki kun for me which was quite an underrated show last season .
HOPE ANYONE READS THIS COMMENT TILL THE END AND RESPONDS 😁

This episode definitely highlighted some of the best aspects of Ryo and that this series can also be pretty wholesome.

Well well, did Ichika find her "soulmate": the innocent-looking Tamaru Kai. And let the jealousy games begin between him and Ryou.

With the back and forth banter of jealousy with the usual rom-com, and Ichika might've just unconsciously hurt Ryou deep in his heart. Even worse still, Ichika falling sick and getting surprised by Ryou showing up at her house, that's the usual pleasantries of a caring boy manfriend.

I'd thought that this'll become stale at this point, but it still managed to get some chuckles, bar none from misunderstandings and all amidst the creeps.

Put more of a Restraining Order on Ryou.

This already better than Oregairu, 5-Touben and Nisekoi. I fucking love this show. Shoujo masterrace.

So we’ve got a potential love triangle brewing with Ichika, her classmate and Ryo. That’s gonna be fun. I’m glad Ichika and Ryo made up at the end and it led to her getting a good result on the exam. Already we’re starting to see her falling for Ryo, wonder how long it’ll be before she realises her own feelings.

Then we're both afflicted with an addiction for romance anime.
I honestly was so scared that the anime would turn out creepier than it ended up being, so I'm quite relieved that I can watch this romance anime without feeling uncomfortable.
I agree that Ryou is creepy, but I still can't help rooting for him, which is rather embarrassing. So, I hope that they don't end up parting ways, although ending with a friendship would be totally cool too if they don't end up as a couple. The idea of redemption is a rather intriguing one, and I'm really curious what the anime will do about the creepiness factor Ryou got going for him. Hopefully, that won't just get brushed aside for convenience.

I have been hearing quite a few people say that Bottom Tier Character Tomozaki-kun was a good watch, but I couldn't really get into it myself. Maybe, I should give it another try, and use the 3-episode rule rather than not dropping it after the first episode. I may have passed my judgement too soon.
for bottom tier character tomozaki it's more of a 4 ep rule it took quite some time in getting good

To my surprise, I don’t think I will drop this anime after this episode.

It has turned it around some after the first episode and doesn’t feel as slimey as I was expecting it to be. While I wouldn’t call it good, it has been enjoyable enough these past 2 episodes.

I don’t know if I will watch it to the end, but I can at least give it another episode.

Still pretty boring show but it felt a little more interesting and funny this episode. That new guy seems pretty cool and Ryo asking questions about him was funny.

Actual interesting stuff is gonna have to happen or else this series might be a slog but I see promise in this episode.

Normally when 2nd guy appears in romance I'm angry and want him dead. But here it feels (obviously) like he is the good guy lol.
I'm relieved Ryo made that guide for her. When he mentioned photoshop on phone I instantly thought he is planning some shady stuff.
Tbh Ryo felt rather tame this episode. The scene in front of the store with Tamaru was a bit scary but imo it was acceptable - if they were the same age, such show of jealusy would be perfectly normal. Other than that he didn't go beyond just being clingy.

My favorite title for the season. I like the art, the characters, the story. Everything is solid as far as I'm concerned. I just hope they won't go the route of having the triangle thing but instead the new boy will pair up with her friend. I'm totally shipping the main pair.

I really like those heartfelt moments at the end between Ichika and Ryou while also keeping the playful banter between them

I think that from here on out we are going to see Ichika confront her feelings towards Ryou and that would be interesting to see how that develops

I hope that we don't see a love triangle situation between Ichika, Ryou, and Tamaru because I feel lie the anime doesn't need it

Potential trouble in paradise. A rival has appeared. This show just feels brighter and less weird than the other similar one playing at the moment about taking in the schoolgirl. At least Ryou is being honest with himself and the things he says even if he does seem to have a lot of gas lighting moments going on. That could just be poor translating or he is actually gas lighting Ichika with his behavior. Either way, enjoying the vibe of this show a lot.
