Welp, Sumi is back. IT's been awhile since we've seen her face but also seems like not much has changed about her character. She's still the same Sumi from the previous seasons.

Mini is still very outspoken but she has her style of words and fashion. Despite how she looks, I think Mini can be pretty tough.

Imagine that. You're attending a lecture in uni and suddenly the guy next to you starts balling his eyes out. Kazu sure went all out to get this opportunity though. Mini's sure invested in Kazu and Mizuhara's bond. If anything the most important part of crowdfunding is maintaining the attention of the masses via regular updates. Not to mention the rewards as well. That was a nice assist from Sumi despite how hard it must be for her. Hopefully they'll be able to draw more attention to the movie though. But it was nice to see Sumi again.

God I hate how much I enjoy this show lmao 😂 it’s like crack man you know it’s awful for you but damn it’s enjoyable

Yaemori the real MVP and best wingman you could ask for. 😂 not only is she getting the avengers together to make the film for Chizuru, but she’s also trying to help Kazuya make some progress romantically. She’s improved the story a lot.

Cute how Sumi saw Kazuya doing his best handing out the flyers and it motivated her to go outside of her comfort zone to help! Decent episode I can’t lie.

I just realised how different Mini's character is portrayed is the english sub vs the german sub. In german she reacts to Chizuru's stuff with "so poggers", while in english she just says "awesome". 

But nontheless, she is a great extension to the cast. Her sassy demeanor is so fun to watch and it seems she really starts to interfere with the other characters relationships. Moves things forward in every way.

Once again Mini is stealing the show this season by becoming Kazuya's wingman and taking control of Chizuru's crowdfunding movie project after support for the movie have dried up. Mini dropped some serious emotional bombs on Chizuru towards the end. For a zoomer, Mini knows the human heart very well.

Sumi is back and she want to support kazuya and mizuhara with the movie, she’s so cute.
Yaemori really knows what to do i love her accent with “su” at the end.
Well i think she knows that he loves her but idk if it’s friendship or romantic.

I love how the opening shot is Kazuya tearing up in class, that has no right to be funny.

I'm glad to see Sumi appear again, especially her picking up the papers and passing them around to help. Mini continues to be a treat to see, trying to progress the relationship between Chizuru and Kazuya and being a little wingman for her master as well as helping with the project. Ruka meanwhile, eh.

Overall, fun episode. That bomb that Mini dropped at the end, yeesh. The only thing that ticks me is Chizuru continuing to refer to Kazuya as a client, you both are at least acquainted by now.
See you all next friday, I'm gonna go watch Tamako Love Story. Have a lovely day or night.

Sumi is back, and now I find myself not only feeling concerned for Ruka but also for Sumi. I don't know how VirginBoy managed to attract four girls, but I have to admit he has some impressive charisma. However, all the credit should go to Yaemori if he ends up with Mizu.

I wish the others were more like Yaemori and respected VirginBoy instead of idolizing the biggest simp in anime history. I can see that Yaemori is slowly developing feelings for him, even if she still struggles to understand the concept of love.

Mini is really good to give work to other people.
Rukia getting jealous because of another girl is nothing new..

Mini told Chizuru really everything and tried anything. But Chizuru does not allow something like this. Nothing to be expected otherwise

Yea, I enjoyed this episode as it was one of the best in the whole series so far.
Mini develops the story as she takes the lead role in the film organisation and supports the romantic relationship between Chizuru and her master.
And Sumi (finally) got some screentime again. She hasn't changed and is still the shy one, nice to see her helping Kazuya.

Best quote of this Episode:
"The majority of backers will simp the actress Ichinose Chizuru." You can transfer this to the anime 1 to 1 lmao

Yaemori makes the story progress and the character development of the MC. She should be the 'master' to Kazuya, not the other way around lol. Now that she's here, it will be more enjoyable to watch.

I was wondering if they would've at least brought up the topic of offering Chizuru's underwear and Mini tried going there lol (if they offered that I'm sure the crowdfunding would've been met overnight).

Anyways, it was nice to see Sumi back and Ruka's reaction to Mini was not surprising but I am a bit surprised at how hard Mini is to convince Chizuru that Kazuya is a good catch.

At last, ED visuals! And they’re really nice, very Mizuhara centric which makes sense giving this current arc is heavily focused on her, the song goes well with it too. And this episode was a good one, the movie seemed like it might be in a bad spot due to a lack of backers but thankfully Yaemori knew a thing or two about crowdfunding and got everyone back on track.

And hell yes, Sumi has made her appearance in Season 3 and it was a very good moment although not very long, she actually cancelled her thing with her dad to help out Kazuya lol, but it was sweet as hell with her trying her best to help. And I also really enjoyed the bit between Mizuhara and Yaemori, Mizuhara wasn’t having it with Yaemori snooping around her room lol, but then came Yaemori having her best wingwoman moment yet which was pretty awesome, it’s safe to say Yaemori is a great addition to the show lol, I wonder how Mizuhara will act from now on after hearing all that.

I had my prejudice against Yaemori, but wow, she's moving things forward. Her energy is golden.

Not as confident, yet at least as precious was Sumi. Nice return.

Aww I missed Sumi-chan! I hope to see more of her! I wonder if her dad know about her job as a rental girlfriend. 🤔

Wow! I know that Mini says what's on her mind, but at the ending she really gave it to Chizuru! She's right though, not everyone can create boundaries around others, and you never know if one person you meet could actually be the one you end up with. People are unpredictable like that.🤷‍♂️

Mini is the real MVP. She's doing all the heavy lifting now. Kazuya, albeit no fault of his own since he's never done this before, doesn't know what to do now that the crowd funding page is losing steam. That initial first week push is all they got and now they're in jeopardy of not reaching the goal. Which in a crowd funding campaign is very bad since it's all or nothing, if they don't reach the goal they get zero dollars at all. Mini providing much needed support calling her meeting to strategize. Ruka wasn't too happy about another girl being in Kazuya apartment but they need Mini expertise. She's done this before and has a brilliant plan to get them to that goal. Handing out flyers, getting their crowd funding page in the recommended section of the website, spreading the word through friends online, and adding more incentives to the reward tiers. Such as some personal effects of Chizuru. Naturally the beautiful lead actress personal items would cause plenty of dudes to fork over even more cash than they might've already. The scene with Mini going through Chizuru apartment with her to find stuff to offer was hilarious. Chizuru has tons of outfits for her rental girlfriend dates. Mini going for the panties made me laugh, she's got some uncontrollable urges. She did a great thing though confronting Chizuru about Kazuya feelings. Shoving it right in Chizuru face and making her answer the question of what if he loves her for real.

It's a nice episode. 
I like it because all the characters are involved in the making of the movie (Sumi's help was really cute) and Yaemori updates the movie's website and tries to push the relationship between Kazuya and Chizuru (W Yaemori).
It was fun to watch, I had a great time.

Arguably the best episode of the season so far. Getting into the nitty gritty of the crowdfunding campaign and how to fix it, Mizuhara learning of the things Kazuya has had to do to get the necessary people to help, and the new girl really pushing Mizuhara like no one else has about Kazuya. A lot of good developments here.

finally a great episode. this one made me feel like rent a kano is really back.

i really like yaemori for being the cupid. she's at least putting the ideas in chizuru's head so that itself is a big step as she never would think stuff like that on her own.

mizuhara's thinking is dumb. she really thinks a person would go to such great lengths like helping them create a freaking movie just like that. it's such a obvious thing that he's in love with her. but well anime won't be anime if the main characters aren't oblivious so..

anyway i think chizuru's worn pantsu and bra could have made a nice 100k tier no doubt. kazuya would have been the first one to donate in that case then xD

i liked yaemori's little speech about how there's no way people won't wish to have those rental gf's as their real gf's but it looks cool and touching only in anime plus the circumstances are hugely different in chizuru and kazuya's case but irl it's just shameful lmao even if you can't help it.

the ED is okay, the visuals are also just fine. hard to best season 2 ED and visuals, they were just too good. the OP is growing on me though i like it.

overall a 10/10 episode. loads better than first 2 episodes of this season. looking forward to the next one.

We had Sumi on screen for exactly 1 minute, no joke, and so far that has been the best part in this season as always, since she has been the only good character here, Yaemori is great but she ain't as good.

Still, I love this southern goblin thing, she has a great goofy face.

Dang new girl went for the kill in Mizuhara's apartment. Her instinct was going for the underwear drawer. Kazuya would only wish to be that degenerate. But they're both girls so in the world of anime its okay.

Also yeah Mizuhara of course Kazuya loves you. Why else would he spend a ridiculous amount of money to hang out with you.

Now that he has Yaemori on board it looks like she will be able to help out quite a bit, unless she makes things a bit awkward between Chizuru and Kazuya.

lovely! Yaemori Mini is the best! Putting her in the plot was best thing done by the author! Not some love interest, but a great friend and cool personality.
Not gonna talk about Ruka.. girlfriend on paper ;o I even forgot how this started?
