Welp, that sure was a date. Yume dressed up for the occasion with her little hat and outfit.

I hope the both she and Mizuto learned something from this experience. Yume sure made quite a bit of memories for sure.

That was a cute and lovely date at Kyoto Aquarium.
As long as the date went by it proved that Yume is still really loved Mizuto and always thinking about him.

Well that was an awkward date, it's pretty clear that the characters still have feelings for each other and are even pretty obsessive with some of them but they feel like they should hate each other as well.
Hate and love aren't that different after all.
Still the question whether a relationship is possible as brother and sister and what would their parents think if such a relationship is formed.
I guess their parents would be surprised to learn that they were dating tho they might already know about that.

Great episode! This episode covers one of my favourite parts of the light novel! The aquarium date between Yume and Mizuto! And of course, Mizuto's changed look!

I must mention though, that in the LN they really do describe Mizuto from Yume's perspective as a completely different/changed person and I don't think they did his look justice in the anime.

Kawanami's plan was to get Minami to believe Irido only loves Mizuto so that she won't insist on trying to marry Mizuto xD.
Mizuto looked for an opportunity to praise Yume's outfit and told her very straightforwardly. He thought he made a mistake using the wrong word but...
it was a very effective compliment! NANO DESU!
He then pulls Yume closer to stop her from crashing into someone and it seems that was also very effective on her! Though she acts mean about it and is surprised to hear no teasing from him afterwards...
Yume feels that she is troubling him again as she got lost and recounts her time at the festival with Mizuto where he gave her a drink and told her that he wouldn't dislike her because of her troubling him a bit. The same happens again as Mizuto appears with another drink!
He returns with his regular personality though and him and Yume have their normal style of conversation lol. Though this is a good thing and they enjoy thenselves much more than when Mizuto was faking his personality!
Minami admits to breaking into Mizuto's house but he says he won't tell Yume as she is her friend.


Looking forward to the next episode!

Minami is fricking scary. So she did enter the house without Irido's consent. Her possessiveness is off the charts.

Yume struggling to maintain those feelings in check, can't help it since it's his former boyfriend after all.

Showing out the true colors in the relationship, so that's why Irido got fed up with Yume resulting in their breakup.

It was a nice visit to the aquarium, it wasn't like a date. it was a good refreshing to watch their interactions and as always we get some bits of their past in junior high.

They should have showed us the date in the past instead of having it narrated. At least the current date was fun.

The usual chill and wholesome episode this week, I didn't mind it at all and found it pretty wholesome so hopefully the show doesn't go on the classic trend of regressing the characters feelings the next episode.
I do wish they give a little more insight into their past instead of just dialogue about it as well.

Also wondering if there will be a new girl or childhood friend introduced to give the good old love triangle a go, if not then this series goes up in my opinion.

Best part of the episode.

Yessir Yume and Mizuto had a date, the first date they had in a long while. Well unfortunately Kawanami is behind this just to piss off Minami's tendency to blow, but for her to still fawn over Mizuto after the date and vows to continue her hunt to become his wife, I saw no change at all...but what date we got is fun.

Yume is uncomfortable as well as losing her mind at the same time. Mizuto giving her the most gentle touches she had experienced is a wild one to her, and for a moment she's even contemplating on how she's mean to him. Thankfully she doesnt know about the date, and the punishment she gave to him...is fucked up in a good way.

The pose Mizuto is forced to do is something out of a bishoujo dream someone is having and holding a book at the same time tops it. But that hug....that is an added step to a direction yet to be known, but one things clear, omg they still care about each other a lot.

Mizuto's punishment to Yume: a date to the aquarium...that's more like their ex-couple life rather than their current stepsibling life.

And yet, there's Yume reinvigorating her former couple feelings with Mizuto's manliness, with Kawanami and Minami's inclusion...which SHOULD NOT happen now, this is something that clearly happened in the future. But no matter, fast-forwarding the story this time with the aquarium date to keep the obsessive Minami and the objective Kawanami in check with Mizuto and Yume's every step to convince the obsessor to drop her feelings while not making her presence known, it's a hard process of balance which clearly feels off.

Even till now, both current stepsiblings struggling to come to terms with their ex-couple life, and this is something that people in relationships can relate that either the guy or the girl will feel like he/she falls short in the expectations of the relationship. But yet for Yume, Mizuto tried to understand her and provide as much attention to her as possible, which he did. And all the more, their couple life coming alive with their usual speakeasy conversation, but since they've broken up before, it adds pain rather than love, that into their stepsibling life, is much better received than before, not bound by their thread of fate.

Honestly, Minami can be anything she is other than her role being Yume's rival and braggingly Mizuto's bride, and for now the date ends this way, not without Mizuto's punishment to Yume done and dealt with.

The only thing I'm intrigued now is how Yume and Minami are friends in the process of the latter chasing Mizuto, but until then, both guys have it tough.

Honestly not a fan of Project no. 9, they managed to make the aquarium date super awkward and kinda boring too.

It would be better if each episode starts with a flashback just like it is in the LN, also I feel the OST is kinda lacking and most scenes just feel like there's nothing going on because of it.
And still not a big fan of Yume's VA

Well in the end there it was revealed that Kawanami was the one dating Minami back in Middle School.

+1 for our boy just from showing up to the date haha. Two points to Mizuto for the hand holding AND making her blush with the compliment. He threw in the shoulder grab too for the kill! Haha. Mizuto is crushing this date. He’s about to win Yume back unintentionally! Their little back and forth banter was pretty adorable. They really do talk about some weird stuff though lol.

I kind of feel like Kawanami was enjoying himself quite a bit during Mizuto and Yume’s “date”. Sure he made him ask her out to throw off Minami, but I feel like that was just an excuse to try and get these two back together lol. If Mizuto was evil, he would hook Kawanami up with Minami haha.

That first date they had way back was actually kind of cute. Seeing how they use to be was nice. Less jaded, more optimistic and innocent. Those feelings are still there, just buried under all these other nonsense.

And then just like that at the end, despite all this protesting and denying feelings, Yume has Mizuto pose and then give her a hug while whispering in her ear? Girl. I thought she wanted to keep this thing strictly as siblings? Lol.

Wait I thought y’all told me this was gonna be a wholesome series when it was announced lol?

Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love forbidden love set ups and pseudo incest bait etc etc., but I distinctly remember people on YouTube and MAL saying it would be wholesome and “isn’t what you expect” yet it’s exactly what I expected with both characters still clearly loving each other and having to navigate that and their new familiar relationship

Episode itself was great. The whole aquarium date was really cute and Yume obsessing/fangirling over getting to take pictures at the end was adorable.

While Yume looks cute in her outfit Mizuto really went all out with his. It was amusing seeing Yume her composure But at the same time even in the midst of the operation it was fun seeing the two still try and find weaknesses in each other. But the insight into how they were in their previous relationship was pretty insightful. It looks like It was Yume who lack of self esteem that saw herself as a burden. The battle of books though was a nice way for the two to chill out after getting separated while also providing a new level of interaction for the two as they let their imaginations run wild. Despite the plans failure the date proved to be a fun time for Yume and Mizuto. I bet you that Yume would be treasuring those photo's she took of Mizuto . But her last punishment request sure ended up creating quite the sweet moment. Overall an excellent ep that had a nice balance of character expansion via Yume's past and sweet moments via the date.

Looks like the date went smooth as usual. Not much to talk about, other than that backstory of the summer festival stuff, sad to see poor Yume all alone there. :(

Otherwise there isn't that much that I feel like I need to talk about here. Minami was clearly jealous at the end that it didn't turn out how she wanted the whole date the end, and that she teased Mizuto at the end about the marriage stuff at the end... looks like she ain't giving up on that...

otherwise that ending was noice sheesh 👀

The aquarium date went by a lot smoother then I thought it would be. They had their squabbles, but it was rather tame compared to before. Either way, they both had good fun together while being watched on by Kawasami and a jealous looking Minami.

The trip itself also had Yume, who was lost after going to the toilets, reminiscing in the past when she was dating Mizuto and both of them got separated at a summer festival. Both of these scenarios had Mizuto find Yume while holding a can of milk tea. It was rather cute, I must say.

One thing that Yume didn't forget was the "punishment" that Mizuto had to take, which was for him to read the novel she got for him in the family lounge while still wearing the classy outfit he was wearing to the aquarium and Yume went into hardcore fangirl mode, taking pictures at rapid fire speed! XD

Overall, this episode was pretty good, definite one of the better episodes so far.

I mean...

They did a great job adapting this date. She could barely keep a smile off her face. Glad they put in that flashback showing why Mizuto was worried about her getting lost on this date. Akatsuki is still on the war path to becoming Yume's sister so the case is definitely not closed. Poor Kawanami must've had it rough back in middle school XD.

This was cute and kind of wholesome at points too.

Yume is not just able to control her love for Irido-kun, it just keeps leaking in various forms, I did not expect her to have a request like asking to be hugged. That was pretty cute though ngl.

5/5.

I don’t like Minami. I’m tired of possessive yuri yanderes in anime. Hope they tone her down. Anyway, Yume is thirsty af for her stepbrother it seems, not quite to the extent that Miyuki from Irregular at Magic High school is, but nonetheless thirsty. Also, I think Mizuto is a better male mc than I expected him to be

I did not get why the episode ended the way it did. They had this date, then the argued, then she got lost, helped her and then the date ended, both of them feeling more comfortable as Stepsiblings, not as Lovers. Why did she want this embrace in the end? In my understanding this decision killed almost every development of the episode.

There is the possibility that the translation was misleading in my language, there were several occasions I found it quite strange today

But Izumi killed that series. Having an overly weak male overtook the good of Shikimori to really make that show enjoyable. Also, I’m not into the strong girl weak guy dynamic. A couple being equals is the best dynamic.

I like How Yume looked Quite Normal and not like overly fan servicey. She looked very nice. I liked this episode a lot. I thought the date at the Aquarium was adorable.

That ending sequence went from being really funny to being really hot. I swear I thought he was going to whisper something along the lines of "I still love you" but instead we get a "I caught you"

IM OKAY WITH THAT!

Thanks for mentioning that Akatsuki broke into Mizuto's house, they never really mentioned if she got invited in but it was confirmed she let herself in, man that girl... and looks like she isn't backing down either! Lol, we'll see what kind of shenanigans come with her getting involved. Did you notice how both Akatsuki and Yume lied to each other on what they did over the weekend? Lol, they both stated that they chilled at home!

Yume is such a cutie and she really is thirsty for Mizuto, but it's not like Mizuto is backing down either, and ending on that hug was nice. I too am looking forward to the next episode!

I definitely loved the date, all of Yume’s reactions to suave Mizuto were great, she really is weak to the whole step siblings idea lol, but this is a date after all. The return to their classic behavior after Yume got lost and reunited with Miuzuto was nice to see tho, I’ve definitely been enjoying that dynamic which does remind you a bit of actual siblings. And it looks like Minami has learned from it to back off a bit now, although she still hasn’t given up on Mizuto lol.

And yeah, Kawanami was definitely the one with Minami before, it would explain why he knows how she operates. And I loved that final bit where Yume used her punishment on Mizuto, Yume really goes in when she has the power to lol.

Now this time it's better than the earlier episodes and Yume's reactions are priceless here

It's a date ironically that's about it but we get a glimpse of how they were back then and how they broke up from what Mizuto was feeling

Yume would be confused not getting used to how they treat each other like in their home and felt Mizuto's old presence when they were dating, So was this date pointless Minami is still going for Yume at least Yume got her requests accepted.

(also nice new update to the UI here gives a new vibe but still used to the old one)

Minami's character creeped me out at first (and still does a bit) but she definitely is an interesting character who creates some weird but funny situations. I think you will like her character development (especially if they cover volume 3 with the anime)
