It's (dead) Monday morning as I'm writing this, and as my eyes struggle to keep open, I watched the most spiciest KNKR episode in a while to alleviate it, ladies and gentlemen, this is a spicy meatball.

But before we get to the spicy part, I want to tackle on that part where Chizuru's grandma was down for a bit. I just had a rough patch for a whole week with my own grandma, and seeing a similar scene doesn't help my emotions. But I was kinda let down when she got suddenly energetic there, though I really hope she lasts more longer...I really do.

Now that the sad bummer is outta here, boi is this episode a spicy one. Ruka and Chizuru battle to get the family's respect and love, unfortunately for the former she got outshined immediately as the latter enters the stage. It was a massacre and Ruka is forced to retreat in the toilet. And maybe she had a nice bathroom break or whatnot because the necktie she bought gave her an advantage, she kissed our boy!!!

First kiss taken (idk if he ever kissed Mami, definitely not Chizuru) and with that bullshit cliffhanger, the spicy winds of Reiji's creation continues to engulf this mess of a community...and me.

There are cringy moments, but nothing terrible happened in the episode except for the ending. All in it is just fine, nothing special.

"Kazuya should tell Ruka that he doesn't like her, and Ruka realises and just disappears", maybe this will never happen coz everyone knows how low Kazuya can go.
It's not just Kazuya, everyone in this show is trash.
Maybe I too am trash for watching this

There's not a single decent human being being represented in this anime at all, they are all self centered, selfish, delusional, have barely any notion of dignity and self-worth. All of them are nothing more than a recollection of terrible personality traits and there's not a single healthy relationship at all.

The only remotely interesting part of this anime so far has been getting to know about Chizuru and her endearing character as she chases her dreams. You could make a good anime focusing on that alone, and maybe sprinkle some romantic undertones here and there.

So far Ruka is one of the most disgustingly flawed female characters I've seen this year, while at the same time having no character development at all even after more than one season.

Kazuya is not even a person, just a pathetic self insert that borders on the repulsive, with creepy behaviors, no affective responsibility of any kind, no personal development of any sort besides his constant harassment, self-pity and self-condescending attitudes, and just not being cool at all.

His duty as a man, should be to respect the integrity and dignity of those he considers an important part of his life, even if that means letting them down or hurting them in the short term. Those are traits of assertiveness and kindness that make for a decent human being. All of the characters involved deserve closure, coming to terms with reality and allowing themselves to move on. That's what makes a human grow and mature. But just keeping the narrative stuck in a limbo, and watching everyone acting petty. This anime hurts all sorts of sensibilities, constantly.

It's very worrying that emotionally vulnerable viewers might find some parts of this show relatable, or that they might try to learn something out of this, because acting like a wretched degenerate in real life has very real consequences, that are never considered here at all.

I’d like to see Ruka wrestle Mami in a WWE steel cage match and Chizuru is the referee. And Sumi is the timekeeper.

not a fan of how literally all of Kazuma's problems are avoidable and can be solved with common sense , but I understand that some like the ridiculousness nature of the show. not a big fan of it overall but I keep going because I need to finish what I started, even if that means going through hell and back while watching this perverted asshole try and get lucky with a chick out of his league.

I can't stand Ruka although I disagree with Kazuya who keep her as his girlfriend (because she blackmailed him). She's just annoying and lack a lot of self worth. In a healthy relationship maybe she would be a great girlfriend but in this situation she is just unbearable.

Ruka finally the one I'm waiting for, She makes the show a bit childish with her lets say "childish" personality, And her innocent approach to her family was plausible and funny

If only they told the truth and probably Ruka is the "replacement" god that sounds awful but no one can replace the family favorite again the degen Kazuya thinking about the ideal girlfriend fr tho why didn't he think what is the ideal boyfriend should be and an "ideal human being" without being a pathological liar and lie every episode, first kiss is the first dub didn't seem like it cuz of the previous episode.

Someone said in a previous episode that this anime feels like a Spanish soap opera and after thinking it over I think they are right. Not saying that is a good or bad thing but those soap operas do tend to over dramatize certain things like love triangles. This anime does do that and in addition has many cringe moments with Kazuya.

In this episode Kazuya wasn't too bad although I did feel bad for Ruka after Chizuru showed up as she became the third wheel, that is until she pulled the stunt at the end. Also, Chizuru keeps saying she's doing things for their grandmas but... I think she is starting to have feelings for Kazuya, as crazy as that sounds. Lastly, that sweet quiet girl, Sumi, I think bought Kazuya a gift as it was briefly teased in the last episode that she was looking at boys' hats, wondering how that will play out.

Visiting Kazuya's grandmother just ended up being a contest between Ruka and Chizuru to be liked by his family xD But wow what a bold move from Ruka to take Kazuya and kiss him like that at the end :o

slow, dragged out, very trash mc and trash cast in this episode more or less. The only note worthy character who was tolerable was Chizuru this ep.

It was another forgettable episode until that last scene. Props to Ruuka for being a girl that takes initiative.

As for this anime, I really thought that the drama with Mami was gonna start, but I guess they would leave that for the final two episodes.

It's Kazuya's birthday. So, it's going to be a party and it's a perfect chance for Ruka to earn some points. She did all she could and was doing pretty good until Chizuru arrived and took everyone's heart away. Best girl for a reason.

Also, Ruka, please tone down a bit. You're becoming too clingy. And, Kazuya bozo needs to confess to Chizuru already. Also, Kiss.

Best episode this season. Are they skipping chapters? From what I know the manga is really drawn out, but at this pace the show may wrap up neatly after in a 3rd season. I hope they cut out the supposed fat. Rent-A-Girlfriend may be a hot mess but it’s entertaining as hell.
