| How fate paired up Naoya and Nagisa. It's obvious this show wants to give each of the main girls alone time with Naoya from the start. Only part I kinda disliked is the episode having darker scenery than usual. Besides that, Naoya and the girls are being themselves. This fireworks festival turned out to be more chaotic than expected lul |
 |
| It goes without saying, Naoya would meet everyone but Saki when he’s desperately searching for her and her alone, first hand example this time around being him and Nagisa crossing paths. Now, Saki’s kinda unlucky, because we literally lived through the course of everything Saki would’ve gone through if she met Naoya first lol. But Nagisa’s good enough too, so there’s no hard feelings. I mean she literally accepted that she loved and loves the Naoya who fell for Saki first. On the other hand, Saki like ever returned with nothing in the lol. I mean Saki wastes her time sniffing the scents of other girls, monologuing how she and Naoya knows each other since forever and… crying over her own mistakes, so how could she get a kiss. But it ended well, I mean they made some memories, Naoya and Saki alone, so… it’s fine right? By the way, let’s not talk about how Saki again missed her chance to kiss or get kissed. |
 |
| *facepalm* They could've just pretended that they are friends lmao These fireworks have been going on forever, just how many are there? Do irl ones last that long too? More Mirika craziness next episode. Her tsukkomi sister is amazing. |
 |
| Both Nagisa and Saki got a few really cute moments in this adorable episode :) |
| This was an adorable episode I loved seeing Saki and Nagisa both being able to spend some alone time with Naoya and grow closer to him |
| Saki's like a keen-blooded hound, huh? Quite the power to pick up the scent of attractive girls. She was incredibly close, but then she fumbled it once more. She truly is her own biggest obstacle! I understand, though; navigating this two-timing situation can be quite complex. Nevertheless, I admire how Saki's been managing the situation. Ultimately, even if not much transpired, at least everyone had a touch of excitement. Plus, the sight of everyone gathering around for the small fireworks was enjoyable. |
 |
| LMFAO. Of course there are other people at the festival too. But the timing of Naoya finding Minase right in front of Saki's friend was way too perfect. But man, Naoya got to spend time with Minase first. I think Minase got lucky finding him first. Of course Saki and Naoya didn't kiss. I kind of expected nothing would happen. But it's not as if *absolutely* nothing happened at all. It was nice hearing Saki's true feelings. Next episode the whole crew goes camping. I already like it based on the preview lol. |
| This was a very sweet episode. Saki and Naoya have a very funny relationship. Rikka saying she’s gonna kidnap Naoya at the end of the episode really threw me off. 😂😂 |
| Saki trying to get in the mood but remembering all the staff was funny. Well things will eventually happen so no hurry. |
 |
| Why am I still watching this series? |
on 
| Some really heartfelt moments in this one, despite the fact there ended up not being a kiss lol. I was fully expecting this one to be all about Saki so the Nagisa bit surprised me, and damn she really went for it, which in turn got Naoya going for it even harder lol, if only it could have lasted a bit longer, but when you have two girlfriends you gotta split time up equally so we had to move on to Saki’s moment with Naoya, definitely not a bad thing tho because I really loved it. I’m glad we got to understand Saki more here besides just Shino’s speculation. And unfortunately the fireworks show ended, but it got us the classic sparklers bit so it’s not all bad, Shino became more concerned about Saki in the end tho which is upsetting but I think with time we’ll see Saki get that kiss in there, as long as her incredible nose doesn’t ruin it again lol. And looks like next episode is a camping one, a favorite type of episode/arc for me so definitely looking forward to it. |
| the way he changed his grip while holding hands was crazy. less shino and more minase and saki means it's a W episode. |
 |
| So cute to see all the girls get some time with Naoya! I liked Saki’s the most though. Given she’s his OG girlfriend and they’ve known each other the longest, it was really sweet seeing how much she cares about him and how she appreciates the time they’ve spent together. Obviously the show plays it up for laughs, but it’s gotta be really difficult for her to see Naoya with these other girls. She’s doing her best, but it’s understandably difficult. Never fails to make me laugh seeing how neither of them can say no to cute girls though 😂 Sweet episode. Of course Mirika got shafted this week again though :/ looking forward to her episode next week |
 |
| No kiss... I suspected it but well not like this Tbh whose girl would kiss a bro who smells like 3 different girls |
 |
| This episode ended up being more serious than goofy/funny since Saki explained how she felt. Unfortunately her and Naoya did not kiss and I knew Shino was going to ask her that question and now she's wondering if Saki is serious about Naoya. The next episode looks like it will go back to its silly side with a camping trip (in the preview did Saki fondle Rika's boobs?? lol) |
| It's funny having this show airing in the same season as 100 Girlfriends, because it's now been rendered more or less entirely redundant by a show that operates with a very similar baseline premise but is better in literally every possible conceivable way. The fact that they're still lying about it rather than owning it at this point is pretty annoying as well. |
| A little bit too sweet, I really like it when they're more goofy with their approach |
| This episode had its funny moments, but it was balanced out with more serious tone that was needed. Since the festival is a popular event, both Naoya and Nagisa almost blew it when they added all lovey dovey around one of their classmates, which the pair made their excuses and left before any more suspicion arose. Either way, the two of them had a nice chat, along with some funny parts that made me laugh, before Saki arrived on the scene, which Nagisa choosing that time to leave so that the pair can have their own time together. Saki being able to smell other girls' scent on Naoya was hilarious, but their chat with the convenience store bought fireworks that Naoya rushed out to get after the main fireworks show ended did have Saki speaking out her honest thoughts to Naoya. While the pair didn't kiss, predictably, I'm glad that the two of them had a nice honest chat with each other, so you can tell that they got closer to each other than ever before. =) Of course, Mirika got a tiny amount of screentime at the end, where she's showing her newfound determination to have Naoya fall in love with her, which does make her younger sister worried about her. XD |
| Some pretty good moments with Saki Saki, Naoya even cried xD Still no kiss though. Mirika is going even crazier ahahah |
 |
| It was alright. Focused on emotional depth but definitely lacked the fun factor. |
| Why did I cry lol ? Was very emotional, nicely done. Love it! |

| lmao hard to believe still no kiss... touching moments though it was a decent ep |
 |
| Those two finally said it… I want to know what happens next (but I'm lazy to go read the manga XD). |

| This was a very sweet episode but after a setup of 2 episodes we still get no kiss!? |
| SakiSaki is a great main girl. Naoya just needs to learn how to navigate treating his main better and make the other side gals or seconds know their place in the hierarchy. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| In the midst of the festival, Naoya losing both Sai and Minase, why did Saki's friend just have to be there at the opportune time? A good save away from fellow classmates, with Minase's plan that whoever finds Naoya will date him first, and she got that reward to be proactive with him, though what they're doing isn't in line with the fireworks for a comedy gag. Despite their problems though, Minase still genuinely wants to be with Naoya the same as how Saki loves him too as well, though it's time for Saki's turn. Of course, Saki would find Naoya's time with Minase suspicious, and the latter becomes the proactive one to keep things moving. As if the mood's not ruined enough, being able to spell many girls' scents on his clothes, Saki stutters as much as Naoya claims his innocence, as they spend their first Summer fireworks festival as a couple...though she's being two-timed on. Too bad that the fireworks festival is over, and Naoya had to get sparklers as a replacement and apology for his two-timing, And for the first time, Naoya asks Saki about her feelings despite the farce that both of them are in, and even more so that Naoya got an earful from Shino, Saki can't monopolize him for herself, but it's also through his relentless chasing that she is even more convinced that she loves him the same. Saki may be the idiot, but the two-timing, I feel that it's for the better for Saki to be just that for Naoya to feel satisfied that she pursued her in the first place. Eventually, everyone joins in the fun, and Shino has to pop the question of whether Naoya and Saki kissed in the end, though that probably needn't matter too much. Mirika's on the attack for Naoya, let's see how she does. |

| "Now that the festival is over, we have signal!" . . . japanese fireworks festivals have cellphone jammers now? or maybe just in this universe lol |

| WE JUST MADE CONTACT FOR, REASONS Shino and Rika got their moments in the previous episode, and now the spotlight returns to Saki and Nagisa; especially the former. In the midst of it all, Saki brings up a very real question: What would Naoya do if Saki told him that she could not live with his two-timing, basically having to choose her, or not have her at all and have Nagisa instead? Was hoping that the question of Naoya's two-timing would finally be at least somewhat addressed, but instead was disappointed when he just gave a very vague answer. Sure we're not meant to think TOO deeply into it, the dumb humour is first and foremost in this show anyway. But it's still real to an extent; seen in Saki with how she is uncomfortable about her boyfriend having another girlfriend. This isn't 100-girlfriends where they are all okay with dating the same dude. I freaking love 100-girlfriends, but this, girlfriend-girlfriend, is just far more grounded in reality. And I think, that is kind of hurting the show- at least until we get more insight as to why Naoya chose to have two girlfriends. If, there even is a real reason at all. Maybe he just really loves two girls equally, idfk. I'm here for the laughs, but since there are some real moments in this, I have to assess those too. I personally don't give af about Nagisa, she's boring IMHO, and could easily be deleted from the show and replaced with with Rika; which I think would be just so much more interesting and even more fun than it already is. Sorry if she's your favourite, but I'm just gonna totally disregard her. She's sweet and wholesome, but there's not really much else to her. In this episode, she spends some moments with Naoya, because she loves him, and that's that. It's Saki this episode who becomes a more interesting character, because we see her struggling a little, being uncomfortable with Naoya's two-timing- which, of course she should. Nagisa doesn't have this problem and thus is less interesting- although actually no, now I kind of take that back. With her being so humble and such, she is kind of at war with herself, with one side absolutely loving Naoya, but clearly there's another side to her that doesn't want to ruin his relationship that he already had with Saki. Since, Saki was the first one after all. So yeah I don't dislike Nagisa by any means or think she's uninteresting (a little, but not a lot), but these other 3 imo are just a level above her. Briefly back to Saki's conversation with Naoya, I gotta say: I like Naoya's dumb but strong character, but in that moment I actually despised him a little bit. After all Saki said, how even though she didn't want him to two-time her, that her love for him was still stronger, and that she'd trust his choices no matter what (well she told him that he'd have to convince her that his two-timing was actually okay, but she no doubt would want to stay with him regardless), he didn't exactly apologize for putting her in such a situation. He does say "sorry" a lot, but he didn't really say it here, where it really mattered, if I remember correctly. Sorry I'm too lazy to go back and check, but yeah. Idk about you but if I were Naoya I'd just ditch Nagisa then and there, and give all the love to Saki. I'd be heartbroken to know I would be shattering Nagisa's heart, but ultimately she'd understand because she's an understanding person, and humbly step down to let the girlfriend who was before her take her place. Sure Saki might be annoying sometimes with her tsundere tendencies, and not going through with the long-overdue kiss. But maybe it's long-overdue because of Nagisa entering the mix. Even though it may not be the cleanest option, it is the best option to let Nagisa go; it would be irl in more than most cases. But the REAL best option would be for Naoya to dump both of their asses and go for either Rika or Shino, one who is madly and openly in love with him, and the other who may be as equally as madly, but instead just silently in love with him. Who knows, maybe that's how it turns out in the manga, which I'm definitely going to get into once this season ends. Maybe he really does wife them all in the end? Who knows. I would rather have that than him to JUST remain with these two, who again imho are the more boring two out of all four. You might find Rika's persistence annoying, but I for one want that love returned to her. And of course Shino is mine and everyone's favourite so if Naoya were to choose one in the end it's gotta be her. Sorry for this wall of text, it's 2:30am and I'm just mindlessly revealing how invested I am in this dumb ass anime. |

| Team Mirika here. But, I do like Shino quite a bit too. I like them both more than red and blue. It's a good show, I like it. |
 |
| So at this point Nagoya knows that he hurts Saki, right? But he still goes through with it... |
