| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- To see Sueharu's family being so star-struck, no wonder he's a child actor prodigy...formerly in name. Even people like Abe-senpai are so inspired...they'd do it to humiliate people like Sueharu. Damn these fascistic perfectionists, and going against Abe with a play for the cultural festival of their own (and involving Shirokusa on the script), hope he succeeds on that front that for now, does exchange contacts on LINE. Dayum, Sueharu's life is just swarm with girls and only girls outside of school life, but does not have a conscience of his own and always getting teased by Shida...he's no Jouro, that's for sure. But as someone who paved the way before them in acting, you could say that he staged the entire drama from his young days from stardom and into hiatus, what a rollercoaster ride. This aspect reminds me a lot of Imouto sae Ireba Ii. on the early episodes of character development side, but adding the rom-com flare into it. Still though, what Shida had surmised that Sueharu is walking into Abe-senpai's trap during the Cultural Festival, it could be and then not, who are we to really say. Looking forward to next week's episode at the very least, and keeping the family honor kicking and alive. |

| I think Abe deserves a punch in the face ヽ(`⌒´メ)ノ Well, I was already expecting them to have known each other since they were kids Top 10 saddest childhoods in anime..., okey jokes aside, I was touched Guilty!!! I still prefer Kuroha (°◡°♡) |
| Title of the anime "Romcom where childhood friend won't lose". And then it turns out Kachi is also a childhood friend. Is this going where I think it is lol? If it is then that title's a big bait. Kuro was freaking adorable yet again, damn we got another kiss bait. Just kiss already, she's perfect gf material. |
 |
| I won't say the twists weren't obvious but they could have at least done it in a more subtle way xD |
Check out my channel @Criticiza on Youtube to watch my vids ;) |
| Shiro was his childhood friend too lol. Kuro was so cute but I don't think she'd be this cute without her voice, Inorin truly is a blessing. I liked the ED. |
 |
| Hmm thats an interesting connection to the entertainment industry. To think that Sueharu had that kind of record within the industry when he was active. That was quite the challenge from Abe though. Thats quite the nickname for the Shida sisters. Still handy to have a childhood friend live next door. Cute seeing Kuro get flustered. The reason for Sueharu's retirement from acting though really was tragic. To think that Kachi and Sueharu had such a intertwined past that had long forged the links that he desired for in the present. Overall an excellent ep thats served to expand greatly upon Sueharu and Kachi's characters via insight into their backstory. Curious to see how the play will go though as Kachi's feelings seem to have resurfaced. Pretty catchy ending theme. |

| how the hell he didn't recognize her? what is this? |
| well most of the storyline of this episode is flashback about the MC, how the MC was in childhood and how the accident made him. Indeed, some scenes seem new and the comedy is also fresh, the dinner scene, the telephone, to the scene in the school health room. Sometimes I'm a little uncomfortable with the MC's actions that always do dogeza, the more you ask, the more meaningless your petition will be, you know. Besides that, the lively scene like about to kiss is also very good, I mean I really like how the MC seduces Heroine, even though it's bear but it's good enough for romance Comedy anime. Somehow you respond to this but, after all, Osamake is growing more and more interesting to watch. |
| This anime is rly like saekano. AND I LOVE SAEKANO LETS GOOO finally slice of life anime with good plot |
 |
| that's a big brain move to make both of them childhood friends and give that title, i certainly didn't expect that |
 |
| Man if this title baited me into thinking Kuro was going to win, but make the winner Machi cause they were also childhood friends I will actually cry. Pretty cute episode for both of the main heroines and we also get some information regarding MCs past. Mom death kinda weird tho, did she die on set? Why did they even have her walk into the car lol. |

todorooo said: how the hell he didn't recognize her? what is this? Because at that time, in the past, Shiro has worn short hair with a tomboyish appearance and Haru also thought that Shiro is a boy. Kachi's appearance and personality are totally different when she was young. There were a lot of animes, manga, a light novel that the male mc didn't recognize the female mc at first because their appearances have been changed from when they were young and the male mc also thought that they are a boy. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Much better than the first episode! We get Su-chan's backstory and we see how much Kachi loves him |
 |
| How to make a childhood friend not losing? Make every girl a childhood friend. More coming as well?! Dat Abe guy though...poor guy living just for the revenge. Nothing better to do in life. |

I see that's make sense. Thank you ps. I said that because young Shiro for me looks like a girl. |
| Kachi grew on me a lil bit after this episode, but Haru still best girl by a country mile. Of course she’ll lose; because anime logic is first girl=winner. Which is stupid. There’s actually a really cool and unique story going on here with the MC’s child acting days, death of his mother, etc. nice commentary on the entertainment industry as a whole. I’m pleasantly surprised. Great ep. |
 |
| Maaaaan this title is so clickbait. How do you make the childhood friend win in an anime? Easy, just make all the main girls childhood friends... Still looking forward to how the story develops though. Overall this episode was a nice watch. |
| Yeah, I feel bad for Haru now but at least we know more about him from a character story perspective. Shirokusa and Haru's relationship will probably be a core part of this show. Characters change including their appearances, for the case of Shirokusa. I must say, this anime (or at least this episode) has a more serious vibe than I had originally thought. |
 |
| Another cute episode. The OP is pretty good. I'm glad Kachi is helping him out with his drama as well. Felt bad for Haru. So... Shiro was her. LOL |
 |
| Damn, Abe truly is a devious man. Maru's backstory was pretty sad. Kuro was once again very cute. I still like her a little more compared to Kachi. I can't wait to see more! |

| WTF, technically everyone is his childhood friend. 🤣 |
 |
| Damn so that's why the childhood friend won't lose. |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| Childhood friends eh!?. For some reason this anime looks like Gotoubun no Hanayome |
| This was very great episode, looking forward to next week 😄 |

| So far episode 2 was the better compared to episode 1 because it explained why Maru act so cowardice in the previous episode and that is probably because of the mental scar he received from the past which either affect directly or indirectly to his present action. |
 |
| Okay, so the MC's mom did her best Kuzuma's impression |
  |
| Kachi is also a childhood friend of Sueharu. Not only that but Sueharu was Kachi's first love, inspiration and fan when he was a child star. Sueharu's past was also uncovered which revealed why he quit being an actor. |
 |
| I really don't like Kuro. She's so manipulative and selfish. I laughed at Su's mother dying. It was one of the worst death scenes I have seen in a while. She dies because she acted her heart out. The car didn't even hit her. Like wtf |

| While this episode wasn’t as gross as the first episode, it still frustrated me to a borderline unreasonable degree. My frustration has to come from the plot and characters. The plot itself is already a mess with the revenge aspect set up in the first episode being pushed to the side (a good thing) and now there is going to be an act-off at the festival. Trying to juggle all these different characters and motivations severely impacts the cohesion of the narrative. The characters themselves are all dumb or assholes for the sake of being assholes. None of them are likeable. The naming girls after flowers bullshit that was ripped-off from Oresuki is even more obnoxious in this anime. Between the writing and the numerous other elements this product has ripped-off from other anime/manga, this anime feels very unlikeable. Sure, it looks good and sounds good, but all those aesthetics don’t make up for trash writing. |
| I feel bad for saying this, but the way Sueharu's mother died because of her acting too hard was a bit on the unexpected and rather weird side. I still feel sad for Sueharu, though. What we did learn was that because of his mother's death, he did have some trauma over it which caused him to quit acting and his attempt to get back into acting for the school play caused those memories to surface up again, which rendered him unconscious. It did make for a nice scene between him and Kachi and we also learnt that she does love him as well and that she met him when they were both younger. In a way, they're childhood friends, but Sueharu and Kuroha's relationship feels more natural and amusing, so I'll ship them for now. Abe, on the other hand, needs a solid punch to his smug face. >_< Overall, this episode was an improvement over the previous one. I also like the aesthetics of the ED animation and the catchy song, too. =3 |
| I actually laughed out loud when they showed the flashback of his mom dying. She didn't even get hit with the car, she died because she was so focused on acting? Her death is literally on par with Kazuma's death from KonoSuba, except it was delivered completely straight, which made it even funnier. |
