Every time Sumi becomes relevant, it seems dolphins just appear out of nowhere for the episode LOL

This episode felt really similar to another one this season where Kazuya spends the day with her. Probably one of the most lighthearted episode compared to all the drama ones this season.

Best episode so far this season. Kazuya told about Chizuru to Sumi and Sumi listened deeply to Kazuya’s story 🥹

Great episode! Mizuhara tells Kazuya that Sumi wants to meet up with him for a practice date on saturday at 10am.
She is in...a school uniform! Kazuya is very surprised. He is curious about the reason and asks. She types on her phone that she thought Kazuya liked school uniforms! Seems she saw him at the amusement park with Mizuhara.
SUMI IS SUGOKU KAWAII NANO DESU! (NIPAH!)
Seems she is forcing herself to do stuff out of her comfort zone like sitting that close to Kazuya on the ride xD.
Kazuya can't keep up with all the places Sumi is bringing him too lol.
When Kazuya is excited at the aquarium about the fish, she is very impressed and looks happy.
They go to the dolphin show and it's a good thing Sumi points to Kazuya to move seats otherwise they would have been soaked from splashing water...
SUMI IS BEST GIRL
RECITE AFTER ME
SUMI IS BEST GIRL NANO DESU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait a second...splash time?
Seems that their seat position didn't save them from the water at all!
Sumi seems really upset and apologises to Kazuya...
But he laughs it off.
Sumi says she likes Kazuya but he doesn't hear what she said.
WHY CAN'T YOU HAVE BETTER HEARING KAZUYA??!?!??!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Anyways, to end the date Sumi brings Kazuya to a very nice romantic place...
The only problem is that there are many other couples kissing there!
Sumi says she doesn't want to leave here too!
But she just wanted to give a birthday present to Kazuya xD.
It's a hat!
'She's such a good girl!'
Sumi notices Kazuya is feeling down and types on her phone to ask if something is wrong.
He tells her nothing is wrong but she puts her hand on top of his.
'It's my turn to be your wall!'

SHE'S SUCH A GOOD GIRL NANO DESU DESUUUUUUUUUUUUU AU AU AU AU AU!

Kazuya tells her about his 'friend' (Mizuhara) and the circumstances surrounding their grandmother and how they are trying to act tough throughout it.
Kazuya starts crying talking about it and when Sumi hears so does she. Seems she has a similar situation too.
Kazuya knows what he can do for Mizuhara!

Looking forward to the next episode!
AISHITERU...REM!

Sumi's probably the only character I enjoy watching in this show, so this was a great episode. It was important that Kazuya was able to get some of his thoughts out, and Sumi was there for him.

Finale is next week, and as much as I'm glad it's over soon, the show might just get a little better from here on out.

Pretty good episode. Sumi shines but the animation and overall quality are worst than ever! Background are bland... technicaly one of the ugliest episode of the season... but it's acceptable for this kind of show

Sumi is too good for this world. Probably why she got her own spin off. Everything is instantly better when Sumi is on screen. She brings nothing but joy and smiles with her. Sumi wanting to take the lead over Kazuya this episode to guide him as a birthday present was adorable. Planning out a whole morning with the two of them going to have fun. Sumi warms my heart with how precious she is. I stand firm in saying she's the best match for Kazuya. He always becomes his best self towards Sumi. Still a perverted dweeb but not nearly as bad as with the other main girls. I actually don't feel disdain towards Kazuya when he's with Sumi, her goodness transitions to him when they're together. Sumi letting Kazuya open up was amazing. I even teared up when Sumi said to let her be the listening wall to absorb his pain like he's done for her. Them crying together was very emotional. I can always enjoy seeing Sumi on screen.

Given that Chizuru's the only relative her gran has left she's bound to have lots to deal with. At this point in time Kazu's desire to think of ways to help Chizuru and her gran really puts him in good stead. Sumi though really looks nice in the uniform. But her schedule that she created for Kazuya sure was jam packed. But with this we can really see just how much each of the girls had grown since they met Kazuya. Its nice to finally be able to hear Sumi's voice as well.

More of your typical rent-a-girlfriend stuff, but at about 18 minutes in we actually get a bit real for once. The last episode of this season should be alright. I think

Cute episode, but the date felt very rushed, maybe because there wasn't much to the attractions and lack of dialogue (aside from Kazuha's internal dialogue). Can't blame because of the characters' nature.
By the way I just noticed there is one more episode left to this season.

the relationship between sumi and kazuya developed a bit further and Kazuya freed himself a little bit from the burdon of the news about Mizuhara's grandmother. Other than that I feel like it didn't hold up to other episodes of the series.

Wow... I can't believe how unuseful Sumi is. I'm sorry to say that, but she brings nothing to the story. First time I rate an episode 2/5, even though I usually enjoy this show

Sumi got more screentime finally, deserved.

Sumi is only the normal person in this show i feel like, she is shy yes but talks normal without going wild, well now we know that Sumi has feelings (i think) for Kazuya.

Well at least this episode was normal in the beginning and then it turned into chaos as always.

The sitting scene was sad though, Kazuya wants to help Mizuhara's grandma but there's not much to do for her than make her happy, I'm glad that Sumi listened to the whole story and got touched by it.

Interesting to see what will happen in the last ep.

We were blessed with an entire Sumi episode on the 2nd to last episode, and it was fantastic. Sumi being Kazuya’s guide to the aquarium was very cute and sweet, I got so many screenshots lol, and the two of them getting drenched at the dolphin show despite sitting further back was a great addition, and it sounded almost like Sumi was trying to confess, but she brushed it off saying they’re crushing it, I wonder how Kazuya would have reacted there lol. And that final bit where Sumi listened to Kazuya’s situation and cried with him was really nice, Sumi really is an angel from the heavens, and even though I’m a Mizuhara fan I wouldn’t mind if he married her lol, she’s too perfect.

I really hate to say it but there’s one episode left, I’m one of those people that really loves this series and I’m glad this 2nd season has been great just like the first one, i missed it a lot after the first season ended but the 2nd season is already almost over lol, I really hope a Season 3 is announced shortly after.

Also I found out there was supposed to be a fishing bit that they cut out of this episode, I can’t believe we missed the ultimate truth of anime in Rent a Girlfriend lol.

I am genuinely shocked that nothing in this episode annoyed me. Maybe Sumi is best girl after all. Even Kazuya barely displayed his crippling flaws this week.

Chill episode, Sumi is an angel and the best character. The end credits were also cute, with Mizuhara playing as a big sister to Sumi. Asking why she needed a change of clothes, and getting mad thinking Kazuya made her change into a school uniform. One more episode left, summer went fast.
