THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Ashley Oono is backkkk. About time she gets more screen time.

Looks like another episode with Nayuta going out with Itsuki for a date-sort of segment. The panda scenes were awkward tbh. Seems this episode had more social commentary than I had expected.

Itsuki just gets along with all the girls...

The truth about Chiharo is out, tho i already suspected her to be a girl since the start of the anime since there where some clear signs.
I wonder if Itsuki suspects something tho he treats her like a little brother but something in his behaviour seems to indicate that he knows something about her gender.
Tho it just seems like a suspicion.

Ashley now knows Chiharo is a girl. Itsuki and Nayuta had a fun time at the zoo. He's glad there's girl he can have dirty conversations with. He had a fun time with Chiharo at the aquarium.

Good episode.

So Chihiro is indeed a girl, I'm really interested in Itsuki's reaction when he finds out the truth.

Both the outings in this episode, the zoo with Nayu and the Aquarium with Chihiro were pretty fun.

The post credit scene was really sweet.

You know, girl being flat is not enough to mistake her for a boy. MC, his editor and friends being dull enough for that is stretching it even farther than 18 years old girl with penis obsession.

Chihiro, the anti-cockroach ninja.

And she finally got caught. :D

That Saya no Uta rip-off... :D

Dear god, is Kani a pervert... Even with the animals.

Ah, nice to see him go out with Chihiro as well, she really needs more time with him, especially with Kani always hanging around.

Trains are good. *nods*

Chihiro and fish... Well, I guess she has her priorities straight, though. :D

Ah, yes, Chihiro still definitely best girl. And would be even if she wasn't his sister.

But Haruto certainly has a nice sister as well. ^_^

I have seriously mixed feelings.
Because all characters were already kinda weird, I never suspected Chihiro to be a girl. Not to mention that it's hard to justify Itsuki not knowing, it's too hard to believe he never found out in 4 years, no matter the argument. And, anyway, the end could justify the means BUT I don't know if this is an amazing plot twist or not, I mean... should Itsuki have an imouto in the first place? I'm so curious about the future development of the series.

LE: yeah, I'm retarded

I have a feeling the brother-sister romantic relationships are starting to come forth, based on that last scene and Chihiro's time with Itsuki. I wonder how they will conflict with the love interest the two males have with Nayuta and Miyako. Hyped for next week!

Relax my young padawan, there will be no bro-sis romance in this series. Chihiro's existance in this series is just there to make you people think her plot going to make big changes to story, but in fact she is no more than a secondary character with open secret to add some flavor to the series. Basically even if there is a season 2 for this, Chihiro's secret will still never be exposed. A perfect character created by the author of Boku no Tomodachi ga Sukunai, just to fool people think this series gonna be a cliche incest series.

I mean, Chihiro looked and acted like a girl and all. So I tought "Well, what would be the point if he actually were a girl?" If he were to be one, it's no fun to make it obvious. I'm still a retard and you are absolutely right, but that's why I didn't care much about obvious stuff like the bath scene...

What !!! It never gets exposed ?!? I am saddened by this. I would love to see Itsuki freak out and go crazy with that realization ! I think it would be hilarious !

I knew it!!! He was a girl!!!!!! The king of preditcions!!
And i dont think anybody noticed but, Itsuki blushed!!! He blushed when he was with Nayuta in the zoo!! He is starting to be able to blush around her as he grows more found of her!!! Yes!!
Sidenote, why is Chihiro’s last name Hashima? Wouldnt ahe have her fathers last name and not her stepfathers?? Or is this common practice in Japan or is it just MAL messing up a little bit?

Welp, Chihiro being a girl has finally come to light. At least her character design was obvious enough to tell... and her encounter with Puriketsu. Dem was obviously panties...

Despite all the exceedingly sexual content, I still can't bring myself to hate this show even after 10 episodes where half the content is obvious shock value smut. The rest of the content is too good to ignore.

Sometimes you just gotta realize that you can't watch every
anime you want to. The struggle is far too real for that.

Pretty good episode, the drama involving his sister and father was nice (she was kinda obvious being woman at the train station though - those curves never lies), too bad they didn't accidentaly bumpem into each other on the train, really wonder how he get to know her secret and if he takes an apology to his father (first step is always the hardest although it's obvious he still cares about him)

Also, Kanikou visit the zoo pretty much confirmed her as the winning girl and they have nice chemistry (even though some decent ending for Miyako would be also nice).
Really hope there won't be any harem ending for this show, so far it's pretty much unique in its way.

You took the words right out of my mouth.


The ending after the credits felt really meta. It is good to see Haruto's relationship with his little sister improve too.

I haven't read the LNs, but I really hope HarutoxMiyako and ItsukixNayuta both become a thing eventually.

All i see is a failed opportunity of a nice transgender character depiction
Itsuki not having realized earlier makes no sense. The family didn't possibly never address her in any gendered fashion. I'm so disappointed, because it's dumb and lazy
So now itsuki is going to get an official sister, she's about to go all onii-chan over him, and they live happily ever after. Fine.

This show definitely loves to do 180's with going from a super pervy and silly episode to something more serious with character drama and such. Not that I'm complaining though. I'd be interested to if this family drama will actually be continued on in the final 2 episodes, and also if Itsuki will found out that his brother is actually a sister (not surprisingly). The final scene with Haruto and his sister was sweet.

I already know Chihiro is girl to begin with, it go obvious with Puriketsu telling her pants down and now that scene solidfies it even more.

Also, nice Itsuki dating Nayu and Chihiro. He's getting closer and closer to Nayu now. But I feel bad for Miyako. I wonder when Chihiro will tell his brother the truth or will Itsuki discovered that himself?

And c'mon, Haruto. Your sister is tsundere for you. She likes you. I think she's trying to comfort his beloved big bro on that crappy anime adaptation. If I was him, I would never ever acknowledge it.

Wew, Chihiro is a girl after all hahah, come on Itsuki, how can't you notice how she behave? That's hilarious, and of course she's to cute to become a boy hahaha.
And the relationship between Itsuki and his father is still not good isn't it? Yeah I think it will be really hard to accept and forgive a condition like that, I also want Itsuki back with his father, but I think it still not the right time. And that last scene with Tsundere-little sister hahahaha you know, family support is everything.

The obvious truth finally comes out. So, I hope Itsuki's just pretending not to know, I don't want to think he's an idiot xD ... and why is Chihiro hiding it?

The outings to the zoo with Nayu and the aquarium with Chihiro were fun.

WTF with that little sister monster lmao

And serious question: Was Nayu wearing a bra? My God, those bounces.

Ok, so if that Accountant lady already knows that Chihiro is a girl and the Brother would be surprise that she is one, then they just made this anime look more stupid, it's kinda of a waste for them being Japanese.

Also, the sign were already clear as sunshine that Chihiro is a girl.

I love the fact that they went to the trouble of establishing that they aren't blood related. If anime has taught me anything it's that that makes it okay. Though knowing Itsuki he'd probably consider it a negative.

one of the strongest episodes of this anime so far, i really really enjoy it overall.
lets just hope that the last 2 episodes will be just as strong and this could be one of the better shows in this already great fall season.

Geez can the MC become even more annoying, edgy bastard, him being edgy is hardly justified, he's probably the most annoying character second only to Subaru

So they're not blood related, I hate half assed incest (inseki) well not like I can rate any lower than 1/10 tho

I think Itsuki know pretty well that Chihiro is a girl, but he doesn't want to either accept it or he knows that Chihiro doesn't wants he to know... or something, and basically everyone else is playing along if the first is correct.
