| Another study date with Hiro... But it turns out, this episode was much more than hanging out in the library as Hiro got dressed up for a workout and training. Not going to lie, I like the change of pacing and Hiro didn't hold back because she's so competitive. Nagi and Erica also had their own moments together to catch up. Love Revolution lol |
 |
| Young Namie was so cute. What we need now is a spin-off where she is the main heroine of the story. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| The hiro x Nagi moments were awesome. I think I slightly lean to her over Sachi as best ship. Just seems like she gives Nagi something to strive towards and to try and be a better version of himself. That said, cause it’s romcom she probably won’t win smh. Really solid end to the first cour. Definitely felt like a first half finale. Nagi is finally starting to realise how he feels about all 3 girls. Can’t wait to see how it plays out in the second cour Love the end card!  |
 |
| It's walking in the same path as Rent a Girlfriend lmao... |
| Well It seems he wants an harem |
 |
| Great episode! Nagi was very happy Segawa accepted his study group invitation at first xD. But they can't talk in the library! So they pass notes instead. He ends up going to kickboxing with her as she has started to practice it lately! Erika sees them out together and so invites him on a date! Nagi didn't like the animal zoo lol. She was jealous of him and Segawa but denies it of course xD. 'Its not that I like you. Yet!' Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| A study session between Nagi and Hiro, and Sachi...is just being Sachi. For Nagi, it's revenge against Hiro for the absolute embarrassment from the amusement park date, and the secret conversation felt like they were a legit couple talking in secret. Where else to study, than Hiro going kickboxing instead, and Nagi really defending her punches well...a +1 for the growing common interests...that Erika spotted them out of coincidence. Of course, that sparked Nagi's interests into leaning more towards Hiro and going all Asta-like to impress her more. And Erika's retaliation...is a request for a date with Nagi. It's certainly strange for Erika to call Nagi out for a sudden date, and thsi is her way of infusing jealousy on him, from the pet shop snakes to training exercises. It's no secret that Nagi has a crush on her, yet never show affection for Erika, that's what the latter is looking for in their relationship as well that the dense former would never understand. If anything, this is Nagi and Erika's first legit couple fight, and left Nagi pondering who and what's the meaning of love. And this surmises a trip back home to find some help...and the unlikely source of his parents' memento of love exchange letters. To think and feel of a bride, Nagi has the 3 obvious girls in his mind...a harem ending, or a true one and only bride? The love quadrangle is just getting started... |
 |
| Nagi got caught red-handed. He blew the chance to hang out with Erika to hang out with Hiro instead. I'm still tired of Hiro, I feel like she's only using him. Poor Erika :( so is he in love with Sachi or? |

Poor Erika :( so is he in love with Sachi or? Erika makes him do all the chores around the house without as much as a thank-you, but Hiro's the one who's using him? It's more so leading him on since she can't be in a relationship. Also, I never said Erika isn't using him though. Look at my past forum posts, I've complained about her plenty of times. Plus Sachi is the worst when it comes to using Nagi. |

| Its nice to see Sachi and Nagi revert back to their old selves though. The notes was a nice way to circumvent the library's rules. Somehow kickboxing is a perfect match for Hiro given her personality. The shop clerk really had quite the uniform choice huh. Erika's version of cuteness really needs to be looked at lol. Its nice to see Erika show jealousy for once though as it reflects well on her own growing feelings for Nagi. The love letters-haiku's from his parents courtship sure was fun. Still now that Nagi finally realizes what love is im real curious to see what 2nd cour will bring to the table. |

| This season finale was interesting. Nagi invited Hiro for a study date, but it escalated to a kickboxing date xD Jealous about it, Erika decided to date Nagi, and it turned into a running date. They are finally paying attention to their own feelings. Nagi really thought about Sachi, Erika and Hiro uh. He wants all three, but I don't blame him. They are cute and outgoing. Overrall, I liked this season. Romcoms are my cup of tea. |

| First of all... LOVE REVOLUTION! ...sorry, I just had to get that out. *ahem* As usual, I really loved this episode and the time just flies by with this show! We got a Hiro date round 2 and I actually appreciated this one, Hiro's love of kickboxing is great, and it was nice to see her encouraging Nagi to do some boxing! I'm still team Erika, but their date was really sweet this time around. Also Nagi's "N-naruhodo" was the best "N-naruhodo" I've ever heard; understandable Nagi, you're just doing your best, after all. :3 But then we get into Erika's jealousy (she's totally not jealous tho), and again, I'm really enjoying the (mostly) realistic character writing- she does act like someone who's jealous but doesn't want to admit it. And it was so adorable that she dragged Nagi to run just because he did some form of exercise on his date with Hiro. Erika's love of reptiles is ~so cute~, 10/10, would buy that king cobra for her! ♡ I feel like this is really a turning point for the season, where we have Nagi actually trying to learn what love means to him... and what that means in the context of his relationship with Hiro... while it was hilarious seeing all three of the girls showing up in his mind- and as much as I love the hint of harem shenanigans we've had so far- I'm praying that we're not heading down an actual harem route. That would just hurt my heart, especially after seeing Nagi's text to Erika. "Not yet" is totally their phrase and I'm so here for it. Really looking forward to next episode and getting to see how the dynamics between the four of them continue to shift and change. (It is a 24-episode season, right? I saw someone say the season ends here, but we're getting 24 episodes right?? plz I need my Kakkou no Iinazuke fix like you wouldn't believe) |
 I'm okay now... At least... I want to be able to say that. ✧✧✧✧✧✧ profile ✧ watching ✧ reading ✧ art credit |
| Nagi invites Hiro for a study date, but Hiro manages to flip the script on him by taking him to a kickboxing center. Is there anything Hiro can't do because she's looking like a Mary Sue which makes her more toxic and unlikable. However Erika gets jealous and decides to go on a date with Nagi only to punish him for being with another girl. Turns out that Erika is starting to develop feelings for Nagi even though Erika doesn't know what jealousy is, but she's definitely in love since they are engaged. The harem is really in full swing now, but I still think Erika is going to win. |

I can't believe I didn't see this; wow that's so cute! ♡ Thanks for sharing~ |

| Looks like Erika was too successful at playing matchmaker lol. Nagi and Hiro seem to be getting along very well and just made Erika confront her own feelings for Nagi. I know she said she doesn’t like him “yet”, but I’m pretty sure she totally already does. She wouldn’t have felt jealous otherwise! At least this situation is making Nagi actually think about his feelings for all these girls in his life. Of course the dude consults the dictionary first lol. I was surprised Papa Umino looked so different in his younger days. Would have thought he’d look more like his usual delinquent self but he was very boyish. Those letters are definitely his style lol. I get it after seeing mama Umino though. Hot damn! Mama Umino, Mama Komi, and Mama Izumi are the milf waifu trifecta this season haha. |
| Nagi saw all three of them lool.I don't like you either yet, nice line from Nagi. |

| We're finally getting somewhere, kind of, but at least now Nagi realize he likes the 3 girls that have implied that they like him too. For a while Ericka had been kind of passive but that changed when she saw Nagi and Hiro on a "date" doing kickboxing. Nagi did have a point when he mentioned that Ericka was pushing for him and Hiro to get together but that has now changed. I wonder if Ericka and Hiro will remain as freinds? We'll see. Ericka and Sachi's mom was definitely a hottie when she was younger and even now is a MILF, I see where the girls' get their looks from, wow. We're at the halfway point now and I'm looking forward to the 2nd cour, that's for sure. |

The harem is really in full swing now, but I still think Erika is going to win. Can you elaborate on how Hiro is toxic and unlikable and also somehow a "Mary Sue"? The only person who displayed toxic behavior in this episode was Erika. I actually retract the idea of Hiro being a Mary Sue for now, but she's slowly moving into that Mary Sue category because it was stated that Hiro is good at academics and athletic activities. This episode reinforces that statement when she already excelling at kickboxing after picking it up recently. I'm willing to bet that she's knows how to cook too. lol. What makes her possibly toxic and unlikable is the fact that she continues to go on these little play dates with Nagi even though she already rejected him already. I don't think Hiro sees Nagi as a potential lover, but as a rival to give her some sort of competition. She really is just making use of the free time she has left before she graduates from high school and becomes a shrine maiden for life. Erika on the other hand was just jealous due to the fact that she might have feelings for Nagi which he wasn't aware of until now. |

RandomTry said: In terms of cringe factor, it rivals Rent a girlfriend...(MC might be cringe but at least he knows what he's doing unlike someone from ..., lol...) IronHeartSA said: It's walking in the same path as Rent a Girlfriend lmao... Reiji is showing other mangakas the power of no progression 😂 |
| Suddenly Erika is jealous at him for going on a "date" with Hiro.... WHAT..???? Just get the Hiro arc over already so we can focus more who among the siblings of Erika or Sachi would progress more with Nagi tbh |
| Easily the best episode so far. All it took was less of Sachi and more of the other 2 girls. If the 2nd half of the season is more like this episode rather than the past few then it could be good |
| Based on all the anime I've watched so far the end couple is most likely going to be Nagi x Erica but I still like Nagi x Hiro much more, I don't like how Erica got jealous and kept on bringing up the fiancé thing this episode despite knowing that the relationship was forced on by their parents. |

| Ahh yess, Nagi-kun peeked deep into his hearth, and found out his true desire: harem |
sezbian lex |
| Wait wait wait, if his vision is anything to go by, is he really going to marry ALL THREE OF THEM??!!! WTF!!!!! |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Please not the harem route. This isn't TQQ where I like all of the love interests |
 |
| Oh man we're only half way through and as Nagi's dad said: "your romance is just getting started". I cannot wait for this dumpster fire to burn as bright as the sun, will they have the balls to commit to a harem ending? |
| EZ soluion - become mormon, marry all 3! Good episode. Glad to see some movement with Erika getting jealous over Nagi + Hiro. Was hoping to see Hiro and Nagi actually kickbox each other. Arent they competitive? I wanna see that shit! Nagi got a mean punch! |
 <-- click that egg to make your waifus appear in real life |
| Nagi was eating good this episode, went on a hot date with Segawa and even got kicked in the process, and then another date with Erika which wasn’t quite as hot but was still very meaningful to their relationship so far because now Nagi has caught on that Erika is into him and Erika probably realized it too, very awesome. And I really liked seeing Nagi’s parents when they were younger, sending a ton of letters to your crush probably isn’t the best way to go but it worked out here and now they’re married lol, and Nagi’s mom was definitely hot too (not that she wasn’t already.) And wow, my man thought of the harem route in his head lol, I’m kinda surprised he’d already be thinking of Sachi as a love interest, but hey, it makes things interesting lol. And that’s the first half of the show, been really loving this so far, very excited for the 2nd half through the Summer season! |
| Oh cmon, don't start doubting Hiro now! Nagi being so focused on her was his best point. I know that Erika is the "main" girl, but I really hope this goes another way... |
