The fact that Yamada is a high schooler was interesting, I wasn't expecting that, it's unusual for women to develop interest for younger guys, this is nice. Not that it matters that much since the age gap isn't actually big, but it's a nice touch. Also, Yamada opened up a bit, I still dislike his personality as a whole but it was a decent episode, I liked it and I expect some interesting development for the series.

Does no one else find it alarming that Yamada’s in HIGH SCHOOL??????? How old is Akane because if she’s significantly older this is going to get very weird and very red flag
I knew the weirdos would come out after finding out about that. STFU nobody cares about fictional characters' age gaps, especially in Japanese media.

Honestly i'm conflicted about the age gap between them, actually hoping they start dating after he ends high school at least... Besides that, I'm enjoying this anime a lot!!! That scene where Akane had to throw her things out hit me since i'm a person who gets quite attached to things too, and I don't like throwing them away lol. I'm so glad she kept her grandma's bear though... Also the post-credit scene was really cute!

Just when I thought we were getting a nice adult rom-com, they pull us right back at the same old bullshit with Yamada being in high school...

She’s only 2 years older. This is a normal age gap.

I call bs. If this situation was reversed the score would be a 6 and there would be a 100 comments about cradle robbing.


Over a two year age difference? If you think everyone on this planet dates everyone exactly their same number age you need to get real. Two years of age difference are definitely still peers and not unacceptable at all.

When Akane coincidentally met "Yamada" in the offline FOS event, she impulsively introduced Yamada as her boyfriend when she met her ex-boyfriend (with his new girlfriend). In the restaurant they entered to fix her mistake, Akane got drunk and was taken to Yamada's room. In the previous episode, I thought Akane was naked, lol.

Yamada explained the situation that happened back then. Yamada carried Akane to his house, it was pretty cute. Akane was thinking about how to repay Yamada's kindness. Yamada just wanted Akane to go home quickly. Akane seemed regretful because it was her first experience staying overnight in a guy's room.

When she arrived at home, Akane realized that something was missing. Akane tried to find the accessory (a necklace) and contacted Yamada whom she met in the FOS guild room. Lolihime, lol... Akane tried to contact Yamada but it seemed that Yamada was offline. Akane still couldn't move on from Takuma. It was a necklace given by her ex-boyfriend.

Akane confided in Lolihime about the necklace. Yamada logged in, but he didn't have free time because he had to hunt for drop items. It was about the guild's treasure. Yamada was really insensitive, lol. I don't know what else to do for Akane.

And yahhh... The necklace did fall in Yamada's room, but Yamada accidentally stepped on it. The necklace looked damaged. After the ad, it was a flashback of Takuma and Akane. Takuma gave a gift, but it was from Takuma's new girlfriend, lol... The gift was a farewell, it was really surprising.

Momo-chan is very kind, Momo-chan wants to talk about other handsome bois. Akane is still depressed about the necklace. Momo-chan really asked a forbidden question, lol... Momo-chan is still confused about Akane. Why does Akane still keep the necklace given by Takuma, even though they are no longer dating...



Passing by the mall, Akane saw Yamada seemingly talking to two high school girls. Akane thought that the girls were confessing their feelings to Yamada. Shockingly, it turned out that Yamada is still a high school student... and he's in his third year. Oooomagaaaa...

Yamada give the damaged necklace to Akane, and though she was shocked, she accepted it as it was. Then it started raining... Akane braved through the rain, but for some reason, Yamada chased after her and stopped her. He gave her an umbrella... What an amazing gentle boy Yamada is.

The two of them were in a really funny situation, with Momo-chan and Akane being interesting roommates. Momo-chan asked Akane to clean up the trash immediately, including the teddy bear. Akane returned the umbrella that Yamada had given her earlier. Momo-chan was really drunk and talked about Akane, lol... Momo-chan seemed to have fallen in love with Yamada, that warm hug.

What an amazing yakiniku party ending~

You literally took the words right out of my very mouth.

I liked this episode much more than the previous one, the female MC wasn't that annoying and she kinda learned to get over her ex-boyfriend. Yamada is your typical dense, gives-zero-fucks male lead gamer but his dynamic with Akane is rather amusing. Wish he wasn't a high schooler though, the fact that a high schooler had to take care of a drunk college student is kinda sad. Plus I crave more college relationships in anime. Hope Akane matures and acts more responsibly moving forward. Otherwise I'm enjoying this show more than I thought I would. Hope we get to see more of the gaming aspect. The post credit scene was pretty funny, poor Akane haha.

Time to break the old circles and start new ones... and the necklace break caused by Yamada's clumsiness is the sign. Akane needs to move on, and she is slowly accepting it; she gotta be thankful go have a friend like Momoko with her xD

Have nice dreams, Yamada...

As it turns out Akane was indeed just stripped because she puked on herself and had to stay at Yamada’s over night lol, the classic blunder. I really enjoyed the bit in the game as well, Rurihime actually being a caring guild master and helping out her guild members was sweet, but then Yamada is the exact opposite and telling it exactly how it is lol. And wowzers, I loved the look Akane had in the middle of the episode when she went out with Momo, I don’t usually say this but yas queen slay lol.

And surprisingly Akane ran into Yamada getting confessed to afterward, to which he shrugs it off since a boss is spawning soon lol, that’s honestly a very chad way to brush off a confession even if it was unintentional. And the scene afterward in the rain was amazing, really loved that visual of Akane in the rain and it was also just a really good moment between her and Yamada. And I’m ngl seeing Momo force Akane to throw away all her possessions kinda hurt me lol, no way could I ever part with my albums, movies and games, I doubt she had all that but still.

And lastly the girls going to Yamada’s drunk was pretty funny lol, he really is roped in at this point, especially in that last scene, and the after credits was goofy too lol. Good to see this show continues to slap.

Akane and Yamada are 20 and 18, respectively. That's totally fine.
Also, these are fictional drawings of fictional characters. So, who cares? Fiction ≠ reality after all

Yamada is just third year of high school, I thought he would be older than that. What a Chad to refuse those girls, he's smart and knows his stuff. They show storage problems in-game and IRL too, throwing unnecessary is good for your space, will apply for my room.

Very this. If this show were about a first year and third year in HS we wouldn’t be having this conversation. People are just caught up on Yamada being in high school even though Akane is barely out of HS herself.

It's not that I disliked the pilot, but this was a significantly better episode. We're seeing the characters take steps to grow. The cliche of the boy giving the girl an umbrella works so much better here with how socially awkward the show has established Yamada to be (I really like how they've depicted that). Just seeing him try at all is so heartwarming.

This episode was so adorable!
Yamada is finally getting some character development even a little bit as he invites her into the game again. Cute!
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Haha, that was an amusing episode! 

DIdn't realise he was a high school student though, that certainly makes thing more interesting, as far as I'm concerned. Man, the way he dropped that confession from his classmate though...

Looks like the two are starting to be more aware of each other, at least. Mom-chan and Yamada's interactions were hilarious but I can't imagine how it'd be the next they meet, lmao. 

Post-credit scene was hilarious. Poor dude's just out.
