| Even after that kiss with Ruka, it looks like it's Mizuhara taking the spotlight this episode. At least Ruka got some more screen time and seems to be in a decent mood. Make up your mind Kazuya. |

| We WON LETS GOOO lmaooo bro was about to have a heart attack after a kiss at 20 years old smh. Kazuya grandmother almost as stupid as him. Why would you give away a precious family heirloom this soon? Like dial it down a bit. Continuing to lie to Chizuru grandmother about the relationship is wayyy worse than just being honest and telling the truth. Letting her die with a false sense of reality is extremely cruel and selfish. Could never be my best girl. |

| God some damn thirst Ruka has, nevermind this horndog Kazuya I’m now totally convinced even she’s more or less on the same stage as far as we ranking the scums in this series. They could’ve cleared the misunderstanding once and for all this time around, but of course they didn’t, as can’t have those infinite circlejerking moments this way. |
 |
| This was one of the most episodes of kanokari ever like we got 3 seconds of sumi after the ed that was enough for me to think of it as the best episode of anime ive watched this week also reiji never fails with his writting since now except the typical romcom vibe we seem to be gettin into some dramatic rentin times.I cant wait for whats in sotre for us next 2 episodes. One thing is certain it will be epic. |

| DAYUM GIRL Ruka, you're not just sharing your first kiss with the simp, you're overwhelming him with your irregular heartbeat problem. Of course, this does not sit right with Kazuya, for the rental girlfriend has crossed that line, and then Kazuya's grandmother is another one to bring out her husband's engagement ring that's to be used on Mizuhara, another line crossed. Out of options, and out of wits, Kazuya's hand is forced thoroughly to admit a lie as the truth...and at the most unfortunate moment, Mizuhara's grandmother Sayuri collapsed in hospital. But man, Grandma Sayuri is also another party popper just like same-aged elderlies, and everything out of conscience always makes it big for no apparent reason other than to say that they're alright. But the truth is that she doesn't have a long time to live, and it'd rather be better if the lie went through all the way until death for at least the reassurance of a relationship that's sufficed and half-legit. Even Kazuya's grandmother also knows of this, and time is of the essence. Ruka's still trying to be the dominant girlfriend in Kazuya's life...and although all hope is lost, it's not, because best girl Sumi is coming back! |

| Great episode! Ruka kissed Kazuya...A LOT! She doesn't want to lose to anyone. And Nagomi gave Chizuru her engagement ring she owned! Ruka is..not exactly happy as you would expect... Kazuya tells Nagomi they can't accept it and is about to reveal everything to her! But a phone call interrupts it! Chizuru goes outside to take it and it seems urgent! Her grandmother has lost consciousness! When they enter the hospital room though, she is sitting up in her bed seeming fairly healthy xD. Mizuhara is embarassed when Sayuri says she was looking forward to go to Kazuya's party lol. And Chizuru is called into a room by the doctor. She tells Kazuya her grandmother doesn't have much time left... Kazuya is about to come clean to Sayuri but Chizuru stops her. She doesn't want to tell her as she has taken a liking to Kazuya and is worried Chizuru will be all alone when she is gone. Nagomi tells Chizuru she knows Sayuri isn't doing too good and is just acting fine and tells Chizuru to keep the ring. She says she can pawn it if she needs money and there's no need to wear it if she doesn't want to. Ruka has callen a truce with Chizuru for the time being and says she won't go on the offensive for a while... Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Heat of the moment huh. Still even for Ruka that was a bold move. But man an engagement ring. Looks like the gran really see's Chizuru as wife material. If anything Chi Chan's gran's recovery had impeccable timing. Its unfortunate that the doc's news was bad. But in her last stages of her life at the very least she's able to spend quality some with Chi chan. At this point I do agree that telling her of the fake relationship would only make things worst and potentially be fatal as well. If anything this ep did end up introducing far more challenges for Chi chan and Kazuya despite their attempts to come clean with everything. Despite her rash actions its nice to see Ruka show some restraint at this trying times. Looks like we'll be seeing Sumi's comeback next ep. She's gonna have some steep odds thats for sure. |

| ep is meh, something interesting at start and the end, but the middle is plain. at end ruka claims for a truce, sho she is out of the show' focus for last eps, but at least sumi takes the lead and it wont turn into all about mizuhara show I hope. bradleesargent said: if so he should have made own douji with her.Is it true that the author of this mess is in love with his waifu Chizuru and doesn't want anyone else to get close to her? |
| Well Ruka went in like there's no tomorrow, she even wanted to keep going but ofcourse Kazuya wanted to stop it. At least there were some serious parts in this episode but the rest was like you always see. Happy to see Sumi's return though in the next episode, Sumi needs more screen time. I feel bad for Mizuhara's grandma though, she hasn't long left to live. Kazuya was about to spill the beans but ofcourse he got cut off by an cellphone but it was an serious call so yeah. |
  |
| Surprised that Chizuru didn't know what just happened with Kazuya and Ruka, seems like Sumi will appear in the next episode. |
 |
| So with only two episodes left, I'm assuming we are somewhere close to the START of the movie arc, but that it would have to wait for a season 3 for it to happen. Which is a shame, I was looking forward to seeing one of this series' few redeeming factors. That said, this episode wasn't that bad actually. We get Kazuya actually trying to set things straight and make things right with everyone and to put an end to the farce with him and Chizuru. And it looks like he would've actually gone through with it had it not been for Chizuru who actually wants to keep up this facade in the belief that it would keep her grandma happy in her last moments. Speaking of her grandma, it had to take someone's oncoming death, but it feels like something actually substantial is happening now. Plus we of course get kissing action at the start that rival's even Engage Kiss's kisses. And at least Ruka understands the situation and claims to be standing down with her assault on Kazuya for the time being. Anyway, looks like it's a Sumi episode next week, so that movie arc definitely would have to wait for a season 3. |

| Why was that kiss at the beginning so well-animated? 😦 Anyways I can see why manga readers have so much hate for this series and its a shame since I think that season 1 was a good introduction to the series based on its premise. But if its gonna make me have a mental breakdown occasionally then I don't think its worth following the manga at all if it gets much worse. Praise Sumi though for being innocent and not being involved in this mess and hopefully she'll stay in her character.  |

bimpicho said: Nothing will happen this season There are stuff happening, I don't get what you mean, are you watching the episodes or you are "watching it" with the screen pointing toward the wall? |
bradleesargent said: Is it true that the author of this mess is in love with his waifu Chizuru and doesn't want anyone else to get close to her? Yes, he is in love with Chizuru, as basically any weeb is with their waifu(s). The part of wanting no one to get close to her is completely false or at least I haven't seen anything related to that. |
Jgiffgaff10 said: bimpicho said: I was dissapointed when I saw nothing happening for the first 227 chapters of the manga, that's like 3 more seasons or 6 years Yup, i mean the mamga and series are pretty unpopular atm, i'd be suprised if it all got adapted I don't know what you mean by the series being unpopular, one thing is being trash (which this is) and another thing is being unpopular. People still talk every week of the manga chapters everywhere I go either Facebook, Twitter, etc and it is also one of the most popular anime this season in MAL (you can even see it in MAL' main page) and pretty much everywhere else too. |
| What a way to open up an episode, Ruka went in so hard with that kiss, Kazuya’s mouth was not ready lol, interesting to hear it wasn’t that intense in the manga, that’s what I call an enhancing adaptation. Later, Kazuya almost manages to end the lie he and Mizuhara have kept up for so long, but it was interrupted by an emergency visit to Mizuhara’s grandma, to which we immediately see wasn’t that severe thankfully. Of course that was short lived when we find out soon after that Mizuhara’s grandma doesn’t have long to live despite being her usual cheery self. After hearing that, Kazuya decides to take another stab at breaking the truth but Mizuhara herself stops him, and I honestly agree with her, it definitely isn’t a good time now, and that really was an excellent scene between the two of them there in the hospital. And lastly Ruka declares she’s gonna stop going so hard on her romance war with Mizuhara, but at the same time asks if kisses are free game lol, love that Ruka. And looks like next episode is a Sumi episode, hell yes! |
