Oh man, Akutsu literally becomes a servant. RIP freedom.

As awkward as some of the scenes were, a plus side is that we get to see the real side of Lily much more often now. It's also funny since Akutsu is her servant, he is forced to participate in her tasks. Like in the manga, this still had a ton of humor and chemistry between the two main leads. Priceless.

Lily's take on a submissive demon butler is surprisingly bold for an angel.

Having succumbed to Lily's will and become her servant, Masatora is pressured to cooperate in demon hunting. Refusing to assist, as he believes purification is preferable to killing his own kind, Masatora faces a dilemma. In response, Lily activates the power of the collar she placed on Masatora, a collar that takes away his freedom and inflicts punishment. As a result, Masatora's body begins to move involuntarily.

Lily knows that heaven is facing corruption, and she's determined to fix it. Surprisingly, the bad guy got defeated way too easily, making him useless for anything, especially when it comes to dealing with God or reforming heaven. In my research, I found the fact that the author not only creates the main story but also draws doujins, and one of them is quite the doujin. The author's style is pretty random, blending comedy, action, and romance, but sometimes it feels a bit cringeworthy. As the 'fight' kept going, I was taken aback, and I expected a sudden ending, but the twist came when the teacher unexpectedly cut things short. Lol.

Now, looking back, Episode 1 feels like the real conclusion to this anime.

That’s a very convenient collar there to manslave some guy. I mean not only it controls your emotions or actions, but even one’s way of talking changes too. Though I was sure we would see something like him becoming the chair for Lily, but guess his talent far surpasses as a slave, I mean he brought her some lavish royal chair to sit, out of nowhere lol. Still to think he asked for stepping on himself, which we didn’t see the proper end of unfortunately, thanks to that police man, really does mean he has changed a one-eighty since wearing that collar lol.

There’s no way out for him, he’s a slave for life, and heavens know for how long lol. Also, guys remember, to outwit someone, never, and I mean never rely on TV shows. As you never know, someone else might be watching that same show too lol. Still it was kind of hilarious to see them portraying the magnitude of “frontal assault”, the measure of how much one is making the other fall for them, in an ever so unusual way of boxing. Though the things might have ended in stalemate, thanks to teacher, but this is here to continue lol.

Man , this anime is a total chaos, i don't know about what happens to it's romance in the future but I'm damn sure it's a peak comedy like spy x family. Also the visuals in the intros and outros are really making me wonder about the drama and emotional part of this anime, I'm talking about the backstory of amane . I'm really excited for the next episodes !

In terms of energy, this series got it all. Chaotic, fun, and certainly not lethargic.

Can’t believe the studio got Nozawa-san to voice the black cat boxer, hearing Goku voice out of nowhere caught me off guard.

Luffy vs Goku. Luffy almost won but Bang interfered. The wrestling part is unnecessary but their VA choices were something else so can't complain.

Anyway as for the episodes it was fun watching the two trying to make the other fall for them. They even had the same idea watching the same show lol. I thought Lily would abuse her authority more but guess not.

The first half gave us a little bit more background info about the characters and their motivations, plus an amusing scene.
That second half though: an incredibly adorable and hilarious display of our main characters trying to seduce each other every each way they can think of.
They clearly like each other quite a bit already haha.

Can't wait for next episodes, it was such a fun one :)

Funny seeing Akutsu be reduced to a mere puppet thanks to the collar. Puppet Akutsu though was pretty fun. Sounds like both of them have beef to pick with their respective factions Lily in particular. To think that the same tv show inspired them their plans. Though the beast boxing fight took the cake for being the weirdest representation of their struggle. As plans go Lily sure went the extra mile. Though in the end the teacher was the one thing she didn't think off. Overall a fun ep that featured some nice expansion for both the leads while expanding upon the collar as well. The fights between them kinda remind me of Kaguya sama love is war.

Cop sees a girl about to step on a guy and his first thought is to run and join the action lmaoo. Real

Will he fall first or will she? Both Amane and Akutsu need the other to fall in love. Finally got another Kaguya style show and this one is hilarious so far. Very underrated in the MAL rating at the moment, but it has it all. Comedy, great leads and two good leads. Really having fun with this so far.

The boxing cutaway to show how each seductive move worked on Amane and Akutsu was perfect lol. Really made things interesting. Not to mention they got Nozawa to voice one of the cats?! Hearing Goku in this was a massive surprise lol

The two leads obviously already are kinda sweet on one another so it’s gonna be fun seeing them come to terms with that. Both heaven and hell need reform and it could be their partnership that gets it done. Sign me up

This episode was MUCH better than the first one and really gives me hope. If the rest of the season can do that good or better I think this one will climb out of the 6’s to possibly the high 7’s. I really liked the manga and there’s a ton of good stuff ahead so fingers crossed!

i guess i am the only one heavily bothered by the male mc succumbing that easily to the angel. it is not about gender mind you. i am bothered because his strength and will are so so so weak despite his big words. at least, how he is portrayed so far. i had fun watching them trying to make each other go doki doki though. but yeah... i can't accept how their "teaming up" started. lily is so op. not sure why she seems to be alone and does not have angel followers or something.

I really loved the contest that they were doing with each other. Attempting to woo the other is pretty funny. It ended in a tie due to the teacher stepping in but we know the clear winner.

The security guard from earlier was pretty funny, liked how he just kept chasing them until he couldn't find them.

Well it was better than the first episode. Still didn’t really find it that funny but the Love is War shenanigans fit better than the stuff in the first episode. The ridiculousness could get to me in the future so maybe it won’t be so bad.

Man, this episode kinda bums me out a little. As a longtime fan of the Manga and Azuma Sawayoshi-sensei, it's so unfortunate that *this* is the adaptation we get for such a top level RomCom Manga, especially for one with such a beautiful artstyle. I look back to this video often, and think what we could've had with the Voice Acting for this anime, because the anime's Voice Cast is honestly just kinda worse than this, especially now that we've seen Chapter 3 voiced by two different casts. Sensei and Liz especially are huge downgrades in the anime.

I love KuruMizu!

Well, at least the collar is no longer visible because imagine going to school with that thing on lol. While Akutsu is Lily's servant he seems to have free will when he's not around her and now they're competing on who is going to make who fall in love, and that makes me wonder if Akutsu wins does that mean Lily will set him free? And would she join the dark side?

Btw it looks like Lily was waiting for Akutsu at the end there, maybe for a date?

I don't know about the original source, but it felt like the comedy is forced and also felt like it is trying too hard to be funny.

Damn I thought this was going to be a cute and funny romcom between demon and angel. Such a disappointment, at least for me.

@KiliianSleipnir I'm glad I'm not alone. I was surprised at how much good press this is getting; I found it absolutely annoying. I had thought when the guy broke her chains in ep1 they would come to some sort of truce, maybe having to work together while secretly trying to undermine each other. That'd have been interesting. But no, he fails in less than a minute.

It's bad when both main characters grate on your nerves, lol. I should have read the genres more closely before watching it; I didn't realize it was going to be this heavily comedy focused... and for me, the comedy falls flat. I almost bailed on the second ep as fast as you, but I sucked it up and fast forwarded past the cringy S&M routine. Then got the whole romance battle bit and just rolled my eyes and quit. Ah well.

This episode reminds me of a lot older nonsensical comedies and romcoms that I enjoyed in the earlier 2000’s and 2010's. It may not be for everyone but I find it it pretty enjoyable.

It's official – Akutsu is now Amane's servant. The worst part is that he can't resist, as Amane has control over him thanks to the control collar.

However, Akutsu won't give up, as he was tasked with saving the demon race. He decides to try and make Amane fall in love with him, unaware that she has the same plan.

The showdown to see who could make the other fall in love was absurd and amusing, but what surprised me the most was that the Cat and the Wolf were voiced by Mayumi Tanaka and Masako Nozawa, the real battle was Luffy vs. Goku.

Either way, the development of this romance is silly, and I love it.

This episode was pretty much; The Battle of the Rizz I still do not understand whatsoever how this show has a rating of 6.56 this shit should be 7.50 and higher I’m disappointed in these MAL ppl😠😠😠
