| While the aquarium "date" was ok I'm a little surprised that Hina hadn't taken more steps to let Taiki know that she likes him unless her teasing him all this time was her way of flirting 🤷 Because now that she has found out that him and Chinatsu are living together she seems devastated and I'm concerned that it will affect her rhythm performance. |

| Noooooo Hina noooooooooo i know damn well how you felt when that dude scored a date with Other Girl, nooooooo pls no love triangles |
| Hina is so adorable, she's a cinnamon roll. Too bad she's the childhood friend, so she's condemned to lose from the start T_T . As for Chinatsu, she didn't do Takina's (from Lycoris Recoil) "sakanaaaa" at the aquarium. 0/10 xD. |

| And of course, for the sake of drama, the receptionist girl just hands Chinatsu's phone to a random person just because those two spoke friendly to each other a minute ago😊. |
 |
| Aquarium Date!!! They look so adorable. More subtle hints that Hina have a crush on Taiki as well. Wow what a cliffhanger!! The secret is out. |
 |
| Yup, Hin caught on the whole deal between Taiki and Chinatsu who might be starting to develop feelings towards him. He's still undervaluing himself but I have no doubt that's the case. Next episode might be awkward with both of them interacting and she probably confessing at some point but regardless the pace of the anime is quite acceptable so far. |

| Holy shit... I really wasn't expecting any of that...  |
| Damn what a moment. I wonder how I'd feel if I was left out Especially so since it's fairly clear that she has her feelings for Taiki to deal with |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |

| Hina feelings appeared finally!!! kekeke |
| I've been looking forward to Love Triangle. Finally Hina is entering the battle. Seeing Hina shock/ cry makes this type of show so much more enjoyable  |
| Excellent show. But I feel bad one girl has to lose. Unless we have a harem ending 🙏 |
 |
Wow each episode is so pretty! The aquarium scenes were so well animated its like the characters are real. Chinatsu was so pretty this episode and Hana as well. Looks like she found out the truth.... yikes |
 |
| Taiki got housemate-zoned for now. Lovely date/not-date between Taiki and Chinatsu. His idea of using an emoji as a sort of secret call between them was adorable. Poor Hina tho. She lost the race before even knowing there was one. |
| The aquarium date was very cute, Chinatsu was so cute in that blue dress of hers. Hina found that Chinatsu and Taiki are living together, this will be misunderstanding. |
     |
| Taiki going out on a date with Chinatsu was something he never even dreamed of, and when it actually happened, he kept coming up with silly excuses and overthinking scenarios. In the end, Chinatsu saved the day and cleared up the misunderstandings they both had. That last scene was gorgeous, Chinatsu looked amazing in that one-piece, and her blushing after spamming that sticker was so cute. On the other hand, Hina seeing Taiki and Chinatsu together like that must have been tough, assuming she has feelings for Taiki, even if she hasn’t fully realized it yet. I wonder if she’ll be able to keep that secret to herself or she’ll eventually confront them both about it. |
| Cinema is back. Great quality! |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| If anything the prize for that victory was a potent motivating factor for them both. Hmm never pegged Hina for having feelings for Taiki guess i was wrong. Damm Chinatsu's date outfit really was nice. The trip though sure looked like fun. Must had been devastating to hina on learning that truth about Chinatsu. |

| I don't like when they make a character that exists just to be rejected... Absolutely Hina likes Taiki but he is all over Chinatsu so Hina will just get crushed...i have seen this before already, poor Hina.. I like Chinatsu, she is a sweet girl but i like Hina more, she is a good friend and a proper little gremlin, her teasing is adorable and she's got the right amount of sass i almost don't wanna watch it cus i know it is coming 😭 Should have made her fall for Kyo so they can all have a happy ending |

| absolutely fascinating how they just took a scene that, in any other show, could be construed as humorous, silly, full of incredulity and shock and shouting, and turned it into this quiet, brooding, and almost heartbreaking moment |
| I really love how they adapted the aquarium date. They really brought it to life |

Reply to Drakoulias
Solid episode, but one thing really bothers me: why didn't they go to the aquarium together since they live together? That doesn't make sense. I can only think that the only reason was that Chinatsu can do the obligatory date outfit reveal
| @Drakoulias for the same reason they don't walk home from school together |
1Toxic2 said: Marinate1016 said: Oh my God man Chinatsu’s aquarium fit has me in a CHOKEHOLD she’s beyond gorgeous, hoops, hard worker, exudes class, she’s damn near perfect I totally understand why Taiki down so bad for her lmao. Such a cute start to the episode. It’s extremely adorable that all this time Chinatsu’s been thinking about that one passing comment she made to Taiki about him having more time to get to nationals. She’s such a genuinely thoughtful and caring person. I think seeing the girl he likes dressed up so pretty and enjoying herself at the aquarium was more than enough to make him feel better. Also respect to Kyo for not lying or covering it up and letting Taiki know he was to thank for that date even happening lol. W best friend. Like I said, It hurts because in ANY other series Hina would be best girl but she just happens to be competing against Chinatsu who’s a hooper with Mamba mentality. Very rough last 5-6 minutes or so. It was clear ever since Taiki went on the date that Hina was a little off, even if she didn’t know herself. She tried to give him a little boost with Chinatsu by talking about how cool he is, but she don’t realise she basically ended up explaining all the reasons she likes him and Chinatsu could tell lol. It didn’t even dawn on me until I saw Chinatsu open the house gate that Hina didn’t know they lived together yet. I’m thinking “aw how sweet she’s giving the phone back” 😭 ended up being one of the saddest moments this week. This is gonna be the start of a long road to recovery and acceptance for her. Kinda worried this could mess her rhythm competition up i still think hina is best girl , ber personality imo is so much better than chi even though i LOVE chi , let the childhood friend win for once for god's sake 😭 Her personality nice and all but a girl who hoops winning any day of the week. Being able to run a competitive game of 21 with your girl>>> |
 |
| lol what a cliche scene. i’m still readily enjoyig this anime though! |
 |
| Nooo, Hina is better 😭 |
 |
| feel bad for hina tbh |
    The bird of hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame |
| Last scene of Hina was kinda sad but girl you can't compete with Chinatsu. She is way too good, too pure, too kind and so cute and gorgeous. That aquarium date was very cute, keep going Taiki. |
