I absolutely LOVE this show so far and Mitsumi’s relationship with her aunt completely melts the frozen ice block which is my mostly-unused heart! Also, we get to see a hint of a possible dark past from Shima. I kind of love that. He’s not just all sunshine and rainbows.

This might be one of the anime that gets slept on this season, since this spring season has some popular titles such as Hells Paradise, Mashle and Dr Stone. It's surprisingly good and the characters are all dimensional, even though some had like three lines of script.

The class is having an class introduction and Mitsumi steals away the show with her wonderful speech as what she wanna become, that was funny. Mika is clearly annoyed that Shima gives more attention towards Mitsumi. The girls decide its time to go towards karaoke and they're bringing 3 boys with them. Mika is annoyed that Yuzuki is tagging along but she didn't want it, rude. 

Seems like the rest of the group is having a fun time until Mitsumi comes out the bathroom and Yuzuki tells her that Mika is clearly using her to get closer towards Shima. Fumi then calls Mitsumi and they have an long nice talk. Mitsumi then sings and they loved it lmao. Mitsumi & Yuzuki then exchange contact info. Shima then leaves Mika behind and goes home with Mitsumi, damn. 

In scene 2 Mitsumi gets asked in a lot of clubs lol, guess she really made a name for herself. Narumi then comes in with a big flower bouquet to give to Mitsumi so that she joins his club, but Shima doesn't like that one bit lmao. Mitsumi then watches the play of Narumi and it looked nice. Shima and Mitsumi then have a nice little talk before they go their separate ways. 

I love how every character is getting their own bit of screen time. Well performed episode.

Precisely. It's never just black or white. People are too complex and it's stupid to make judgments so soon.

Cute episode, loving the interactions between Mitsumi and Shima, with the introduction of the candidate to the best girl of the anime, Yuzuki. Love the work done on the character of Mika to be a jealous hypocrite girl who only wants Shima.


Yamada is still best waifu tho,he is going to be the comic relief character and I am all for it.

This feels like another dark horse of the season with the ways things are going and I'm all for it! =)

This second episode kept up the engaging character interactions between everyone involved, especially with Mitsumi and Shima. Egashira's words of advice is understandable, although trying to get Shima all to herself doesn't paint her in a good light. Despite that, I don't think she's a bad person, so as a few others have mentioned already, jumping to conclusions early is not a wise choice.

Yuzuki is already one character that I really like. She has the beautiful looks, but I really enjoy how she got on well with Mitsuri, complementing her for giving her a fun time at karaoke, even though she's not a fan of karaoke in the first place. Their interactions was sweet!

Narumi of the drama club is one quirky guy, with his attempts to recruit Mitsuri for the drama club. While his performance on stage as a female character was interesting, Shima pulled him to one side to deliver a brutal put down, all while smiling at him. Ouch...

Once again, This series is already growing fast to become one of my most liked so far this season, especially one filled with popular sequels and hyped-up new shows. I hope this series gets more spotlight as it fully deserves it. =D

I like that the gender role in this anime is more flexible than I expect, guy in high heels, and Iwakura's aunt Nao has such a mysterioys gender, even if it's not as homo as I want it to be.

Now regarding relationship, I think Iwakura should stay single, having a boyfriend, especially someone so carefree like Shima, will only burden her career path.

We had close up on aunt's Adam's apple, so she is most definitely biologically make.
And the guy on high heels was most likely training for drama club activities. Pay attention to those bandaids. Though it's still weird he was running in those high heels. LoL

Just for the usual suspects that only knows about "popular mainstream market" series, because the manga is again in the Kodansha Awards for the second consecutive year between the 5 best in the general category.

Mitsumi is an awkward but likeable character which makes this an entertaining watch. When Shima offered for Mitsumi to touch his hair I knew she would use both hands to get in there lol.

The pretty blonde girl was nice to let Mitsumi know what was going on during the karaoke session, and it looks like Shima had a past as a child actor that he doesn't want to be reminded of. These characters are complex which adds to the intrigue of this otherwise SoL type anime.

I can't put my finger on what it is about this show so far. I think I am really liking it but I have no clue where it is going. Also I'd expect some hard hitting emotional moments but those are as strong or even present so far. Maybe it's a slow burn? Here's to hoping.

Apparently it was mentioned in the first episode but I didn't pick up on it until this episode but man the Train scene with Mitsumi and Nao-chan was so good. Directional wise when Nao-chan was grayed out when those girls were talking about her, and everything came back into color when Mitsumi grabbed her hand...so damn good.

Great episode. My man Shima knew Mika was making fun of Mitsumi and he was not having it.

Yuzuki is a real one.

Fantastic episode.

I'm glad Mitsumi found out that girl was two-faced rather quickly. People that don't deserve to be trusted can end up doing a bunch of bizarre things behind your back if you're not careful! Although with the "drama" tag I'm sure there will be more drama to come. I'm rooting for you Mitsumi, get the guy, and enjoy your city life!!

I just keep thinking about how Friggin Tall Nao must be, like at least 6ft which is like 2 metres. It's funny how Mitsumi is so innocent she didn't even realise someone was being mean/used her, I like this blonde girl for backing her up though.

Very nice episode, Mistumi’s self introduction backed by Shima’s introduction was a really good opening bit, and I especially loved the karaoke part afterward. Just last season we had a show where the main girl sung a kiddie song during karaoke and here we have it again this season lol, and it was very cute once again, Mitsumi sang it well too, now I just need her to cover Catfish John and we’re cruising lol. I also loved her conversation with her friend from her hometown when she was feeling down, it helped lift her spirits and look past trying to figure people out, good friends are like that man, love that kind of stuff.

And I love the addition of Murashige, it seemed like she’d be the cold type but she’s actually really chill and was willing to help Mitsumi out, I can see her being a great friend as this progresses. And the last bit with the drama club was an interesting one, I think Mitsumi would fit in a drama club but of course she’d go with the student council lol, and it was revealed Shima used to be a child actor, I’m surprised to find out so soon but it was clear he had more to him that what we saw on the surface. Looking forward to seeing that mystery slowly unravel and some more SoL goodness!

The girl has barely done anything at this point and everyone is already picking up their pitchforks. We don't know what she's thinking or if she even has ill intentions at all, so let's not jump to conclusions. This type of mentality kind of bothers me, cause people do that IRL a lot and it causes actual harm to people.

very true lol, some folks are quick to jump the gun, especially with fictional characters.

I think it reminds me of a refreshing mix of Kimi ni Todoke and the early seasons of the new Fruits Basket. It has the soft style and quality of the old show with the potential of drama and pacing of newer shows.

So far this is the best anime of the season, I love it. I already picked the manga to read because I just can't get enough of it. This will be a beautiful coming of age story, subtle and sensitive, also I can see that the relationship between Mitsumi-chan and Shima-kun will gradually develop to the point where Shima-kun will learn how to be more genuine, to open himself more and more. Anyway, hopefully this will get popular enough so they don't stop with just one season.

Loved this episode! It's been a while since I watched one where time just flew by and the episode ended before I knew it. Mitsumi is hilarious, in an awkward but endearing way. I feel like I've seen a few other anime where the main character also sang some kids songs at a karaoke...My favorite scene was the headpat, it was so cute, I melted. Loving the two main characters' chemistry so far, I wouldn't mind either way whether it goes in a romantic direction or not. Not liking that red-haired girl so far, hope she's not the typical sneaky character who exists to stir trouble. I'll give her the benefit of doubt for now. On the other hand, that blonde-haired girl is indeed very pretty and she seems pretty cool so far, hope she stays like that and becomes a good friend to Mitsumi. I get easily weary of people I've just met irl so I guess I'm also being cautious against the first impression these characters give off lol. I'm guessing Shima was a child actor? Would explain why he seems to be good at reading others and likes Mitsumi, since she's very pure and honest. I like how straightforward and upfront he is though, just from his appearance and puppy-like expressions alone I would think he was an airheaded type but I'm glad he's actually quite perceptive.

I can see people hating on Mika  but her advise is probably the best thing tbh from an ambivert gal perspective :P,  we all take things differently and Mitsumi is still unaware of her environment afterall. Also YUZUKI HERE, Maaya Uchida and her voice fits so nicely, she's the person who I ideally want to become friends with.. and it's hard to find em. Also little Mitsumi is cute <3. Her karaoke is cute. Shima always gives me red flags idk why.

The Karaoke scene was really good and I like how they dug into the character's personalities in the 2nd episode and not dedicating whole episodes to introducing a character.

Shima-kun is a real chad, he doesnt care on what other's think of his actions and always quite laid back, but also can be badass on showing rude people how pathetic their actions are and not being ignorant of others using his kindness and positive energy.
