| Well, this episode had the most 'fan service' so far this season because of the hot springs. Nasa and Tsukasa are lucky to go on such a trip tbh. They got most of the female cast into swimsuits too lol Whatever the case, this episode definitely went all out on the humor. |
 |
| Kaname's mother is back, though they have a pair of tickets to a hot spring, which the Arisugawas are all busy on their own accord. Instead, it's passed onto Nasa, because he and Tsukasa haven't had a honeymoon just yet. And feelings envelop once again... With Toast left to Kaname to take care of, the married couple is off for their own private time filled with nervousness, and even Chitose is mindful not to interrupt them. And their inn...is quite the luxurious setting, though taking baths together can still be a lovely embarrassment. Nasa being more calm than usual, and he has to think of a plan to bring Tsukasa around Kusatsu in a short space of time. But an old lady holds him up, and Nasa being the yes-man, tries all he can to lead her back to the reception. Aya unconsciously led to working to help her younger sister out, if she's not improving on her studies, then she should be helping out on the bathhouse. Casually, Kaname also added Chitose in the mix, and knew what's up lols, her 4th wall breaking sense of a fanservice episode is perfect. Back to the inn, with time ticking down, the old lady still withhelds Nasa, and now wants him to help her back to her room. Though Nasa casually talks with her abut Tsukasa, it's the wife herself that makes the snark expression, because that's Chitose's grandmother Tokiko, effectively Tsukasa's guardian that's affiliated to her by her family name. With the official meet that's later than never, Tokiko continues being both a nuisance and a serious go-getter, though to the naive Nasa she is able to manipulate, while Tsukasa continues to be fumed by Tokiko's snide remarks about love and affection. With that, the accidental parental meet-and-greet is over, and onwards to more of the hot springs honeymoon. Nasa sure dodged a bullet there... |

| this is what i have been waiting for a hot spring date is essential in a romance anime but was not expecting grandma to show up but anyways this anime is as wholesome than ever |

何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Ah yes a true bath episode wouldn’t be complete without the fanservice. Think they did a good job of incorporating that while staying true to the wholesome nature of the show. Chitose grandmother seems to hint at there being more to the story of Tsukasa than meets the eye. Pretty chill and comfy episode to end the week with |

| Hmm so we finally meet Kaname and Aya's mother and get to see how they feel about being left by her. A hot spring trip for their honeymoon sounds pretty nice. The hot springs that they went too really looked posh. Kaname sure is a cunning taskmaster. To think that of all people they would encounter Chitose's gran there. Pretty fun person though that really keeps Tsukasa on her toes. |

| Aw, man. I feel bad about Aya and Kaname's mother. How could a man leave such a cute wife and 2 cute daughters behind like that?! I guess Chitose has matured a lot. She doesn't bother Nasa and Tsukasa like she used to anymore. Her 2 maids are the same as always though. I'd recognize that voice anywhere. Tokiko is voiced by Fumi Hirano aka the original voice of Lum-chan! Even though she's voicing an old character she still sounds young to me. And Tokiko is much older than Hirano-san is now. What's surprising is that Lum's new voice actress Sumire Uesaka is also in this anime and voices Aya. I never thought I'd see both of Lum's voice actresses in the same show that also isn't Urusei Yatsura. But here we are. I'd love for these two characters to meet but it's very unlikely since they don't really know each other and there's no reason for them to meet up. Can't wait to see the continuation of this trip! |

| Could we get more of Aya in swimsuit please? Though ignoring whatever crazy stuffs Kaname and Aya's mother got herself indulged in during her time in overseas, we finally met her.. and not only her but Chitose's grandma, Tokiko too. We'll know plenty about her going forward, but for now she did her thing, that is to straighten up the mood between Nasa and Tsukasa. |
 |
| They're married, but sharing the same bath together?? No freaking way man, way too far |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Always love a good hot spring episode, but the funny thing here is that we didn’t see a lot of hot spring fanservice from Nasa and Tsukasa who are the ones who went to the hot springs, but instead from Aya and Chitose who were being forced to clean the bathhouse by Kaname in swimsuits lol, once again thank you Kaname for this blessing. And we also met Chitose’s grandma Tokiko, and I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t expecting her to be trolling Nasa the whole time but it makes sense giving the timing lol. She’s definitely a fun grandma, but she also knows a lot about Tsukasa giving what she said to Nasa, which was nice to see since the mystery around Tsukasa hasn’t been touched on in a while. It’s interesting tho, it seemed Tokiko was implying about going to the moon but it’s also clear that Tsukasa doesn’t want Nasa to know about it, does this mean she doesn’t want what Tokiko was talking about? The plot thickens lol. |

Damn I didn’t notice, that’s very cool, love that she still gets roles to this day, and I agree that it would be cool to see them meet just for this reason. |
| I have suspicions since episode one, now I’m sure… |

| Nice onsen trip as a honeymoon, and I like Chitose's grandmother xD But definitely Tsukasa and Nasa need more proximity together... |
 |
| Spanish WAAAAAAAAA!!!! QUE EMOCIOOOOOON!!!!! Por fin podemos ver a Tokiko animada!! Estoy muy emocionado ya que, como lector del manga, sé que esto se va a poner bastante interesante muy pronto. Que gran capitulo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- English Translation WAAAAAAAAA!!!! I’M SO EXCITED!!!!! Finally we can see Tokiko animated!! I'm very excited because, as a manga reader, I know this is going to get pretty interesting very soon. What a great chapter. (Sorry for my bad english. I'm using google translate since ''All posts in the main forum must be in English.'') |
| yet another great episode, the bathhouse/hotspring episode! tokiko oba-san was really nice and the scene with aya and chitose almost made me think this was an ecchi lmao. |
 |
| Am I the only one who thinks Tokiko's animation in some scenes was a little off? Hirano-sensei's VAing was excellent, though! |
| "Genki is Life, Genki is Love" |
| Maybe with tokiko there we can learn a little more about tsukasa. |
| Not the biggest fan of Kaname but I appreciate her efforts for trying to make this an ecchi episode. |
| just a fun relaxing hot spring episode. |

| Kaname-chan with the W fourth wall breaks. tishan_navod said: Just imagine ¹7 yo middle schooler getting married and having sex. This whole show is woven with that. Creepy AF You can delude yourself into believing the protagonists are middle-schoolers all you want but why is the 1 a superscript? You don't mean to say 7, do you? |
 |
| Lol at the self aware dumb fanservice bit. |
| It wouldn't be a hot springs focused episode if it doesn't have fanservice in it, right? XD Thankfully, this series is no exception and it followed that fanservice route pretty well, mostly thanks to Kaname making her older sister, Aya, wear a sexy bikini, while also roping in Chitose to help clean up the baths in a one-piece swimsuit. The scene got even better when Aya and Chitose both tried to rip off each others swimwear until they collapsed on the ground in exhaustion. Kaname was the real winner, here. She wasn't wearing any swimwear herself, sadly, but this scene makes me love her even more than before! =D Nasa spent a while helping out a old lady, who actually turned out to be Chitose's grandmother, Tokiko. The chemistry between her and Tsukasa was pretty funny, especially with how flustered Tsukasa got during the conversation between the three of them. It does help to add more to the plot with what Tokiko was talking about relating to Tsukasa. While I do look forward to the next episode in terms of more fanservice, I also would like to see more about Tsukasa herself when the time is right. |
| Lol, after all this time it was Her grandmother XD |

| First time seeing Chitose’s grandma, and she mentioned the moon rock, which may imply that Tsukasa is from the moon. |
 |
| Yoshitsune, Yoritomo... Sus |
| I dont watch this anime. I just watched this episode because a certain anime website has Aya (the blue haired gi) in her bikini as the video thumbnail. As a degenerate, I have to check it out. Smart dude. |
 |
| Don’t mind a bath episode 😍 lmao Also, connecting the dots here. “Take me to the moon” - I’m guessing she actually wants someone to take her to the moon?? |

|
| Lol that granny got jokes. I like her sarcastic personality |
| Sometimes the extent to which Nasa and Tsukasa are embarrassed makes me worried that the wholesome cuteness of the show will be outweighed by the admittedly mediocre plot and production. |
 |
| A calm honeymoon for Nasa and Tsukasa. I knew it that granny is the OP scene granny. Chitose grandmother? Mhmm... The fan service in this episode are not my cup of tea. But I'm pretty sure the kissing scene in the ova is the best lewd scene. |
