| Ryuuto and Runa still has an awkward relationship...I kinda wish they just went back to the way things were before. Even though it was repetitive, at least it wasn't very awkward. They didn't hold back their emotions this episode though. On the other hand, I'm glad Nikrou found a partner that she can trust. She's probably not experienced with love but Shuugo seems like a decent person to be around with. Glad the show made her relevant in these latest episodes. |
 |
| Another wave of emotional damage between Ryuuto and Runa again... It escalated rather quickly after Ryuuto got hit by a car toy and sadly they didn't attempt to hold back their emotions. I'm glad they didn't break up after all the embarrassment. Only one episode left and let's see if we can deserve a decent ending. |

| It's tough for Ryuto's friends. One of them got turned down, and the other has to watch their crush with someone else. Ijichi became a recluse after Akari rejected him, while Nishi harbored unrequited feelings for Nikro. Although Nikro seemed to have rekindled her relationship with Kanzaki upon their reunion, things weren't going smoothly. Amidst the fluctuating romantic entanglements, the connection between Ryuto and Luna, seemingly calm on the surface, lacked mutual understanding, remaining awkward. Finally, Luna made a certain decision. I can't believe how Seikya just flat-out turned down Nikro like that? I honestly thought they were a way better match than the main couple. I'm kinda hoping they'll patch things up after his exams, but then again, he did make her cry, so who knows. And poor Ijichi and Nishi, especially Ijichi, things aren't going so well for them. I totally get Ijichi using games to distract himself from the whole rejection ordeal; it's so relatable. And seriously, being 'just classmates' and then getting classmate-zoned? If only getting back together after a breakup happened as quickly in real life. That's something you only see in anime Took Luna practically the entire show, but she finally spilled the beans about her and Maria. And that cliffhanger at the end—sex for the finale? |
 |
| Bro, the guy crying like a little baby cause she wanted to break up with him was kinda pathetic, not gonna lie. And also, next time you want to break up with someone, do it in a place that's not full of couples, and married people, lol. Next week end to this KiMisery. |
 |
| Glad this is getting better. They should break up, but trust and love for each other makes them love even more, so there is no reason for them to break up. Ryuuto and Runa are amazing. And also, next week we'll get to the top of the episode. I'm ready for it, and I'm looking forward to it. |

| So happy to see that Ryuuto and Luna didn't break up they really are perfect for each other and deserve to be happy with one another. Feel really bad for Nikoru though I hope she does find someone who will love her |

| Sports car saved and slightly halted the day. With better animations, most of the scenes would had a more poignant emotional impacts. Still, the point is successfully brought across.  |
| That ending between Luna and Maria was just super cute and heart-warming :) |
| kinda feeling lazy so they left with a cliff hanger things were about to break but got fixed a very typical romance anime nothing bad but nothing that stood out expect the virgin alert |
 |
| it was a good episode communication will always be the key in relationship but the dude don't want to think about sex instead of studying, i understand... it was a good end for the sisters... |
| otakuweek (100k Followers) on insta for News /best recom etc just have a look, you won't regret it... Link below: https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh |
| It's good that Runa and Ryuto are still friends, though Sekiya and Nicole's relationship has been repaired, and while Ijichi's confession to Akari is quite the blow, things aren't quite looking good for most of them. However, even Nicole had her moment that Sekiya dumped her because of his focus on studies, but it's obvious that their relationship did went further, it will deteriorate into a rather dirty and sexual one, which he wants to spend his high school years with ease. For now, it's Ryuto's problem dealing with both Runa and Maria, and as coincidence would have it, both Ryuto and Maria coincidentally met on their way home, and as much as she has feelings for him, she also wants to support Runa's relationship with him and clear the misconceptions from before. But a sudden molester assault has Ryuto all concerned about Maria, though Runa also understands the seriousness of the matter. Runa asking for a breakup with Ryuto, it's also her first (though an unpleasant one), but the memories of being the first to be a couple proper, acting like this sure feels like they're being childish about their love, though their raw emotions show that they still love each other despite their differences. This puts the brakes on the Friendship Project, though Maria still has the same earring that Runa gave her all those years ago. The truth about them, with Runa casually exposing their sisterhood relationship and reconciliation with the earrings, it has been a rumour for quite some time, but it sure is about time for everyone to know the truth about them. Quite the tearjerker penultimate episode that reminds all that love is finicky, full of ups and downs. |
 |
| I figured Nicole's relationship wouldn't last but I was wrong about Runa and Ryuto as I thought they were also going to break up. Also, I thought it was pathetic how Ryuto cried and said how he wanted to keep the relationship going at a public park, kind of the opposite attitude of Nicole's ex. At least they made Maria look better. |
| Didn't like the way Runa seemed to talk only to herself without even trying to listen to Ryuuto. At least he managed to say he doesn't want to break up, I don't blame him for getting emotional. Yes, yes, they're kids in highschool and it's okay to make mistakes. So I'll just roll my eyes and move on. Nicole's ex though had some doughy logic. I get it, he has priorities, but just say what you really mean, no need to hurt your gf on purpose so she forgets you. Hope she really does, cause if they end up together again it would be kinda toxic. His attitude already tells that he doesn't really love her or care, even in previous episode he never apologised. He was just nostalgic for a girl who liked him for something other than his looks. Glad that Maria drama is over (hopefully). |

| nah when they were having the flashbacks at the park and i thought it was over then that little kid started driving the sports car i thought there's no way right and i was wrong i started dying ffs |
| “I’ll let my feelings for you race ahead as far as they can” 😭 the melodrama was so high in this episode, but you know what it’s ok. These are high school kids going thru their first proper love experience together. They’re going to be cringe and say over dramatic shit just like all kids do at that age. Your brain’s not fully developed so it’s going to seem like small things are the end of the world to you. People bashing Ryuto for crying in a park over his first gf breaking up with him are so stupid man. This kid’s never had a relationship before and he feels like he’s losing this one because of something from his past that he can’t change. Especially when the only reason he was with Maria that other night was to let her know they shouldn’t hang out alone again. Not getting to explain that properly and then Runa dumping him naturally triggered an explosion of feelings. Nothing “pathetic” about not wanting to lose your girl. The only issue I have with the scene is that the animation was pretty ass during it. If that was cloverworks or A-1 doing that scene it would be insane. Still, the seiyuus did a good job of conveying the emotion and pain there. Yea, Sekiya didn’t cry with his breakup, but that’s because he’s older and more experienced, plus he knows him breaking up with Nicole is for the best. Different stages in life, that’s a real mature decision to make. I appreciate that he doesn’t string her along and he’s honest. This leaves the door open for Ryuuto’s friend lol. Aw, finally the Maria drama is brought to an end as well. Bold move to reveal you’re twins like that in class. It’s really cute that Maria still carried about the earring they wore as kids too. You can tell that’s such a big weight off both of their shoulders to finally have that sister bond back. wtf was that post credits scene??? Shit’s about to go down in this finale |

| Another bittersweet but good episode. Though that they would made up on the last episode of the season but this made far more sense! By the way, our MC Ryuto is by far the most human / real one i have seen in a while, this is going to be a solid 8 score for sure. Cant understand the critics at this point |

| @Marinate1016 Agreed with everything great summary. |
|
| I think it was good to see the real feelings now. We need this more often in Romcoms! |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| this is the most boring insipid unrealistic relationship I've seen in a rom com. |
| This one really surprised me, I was thinking they’d break up this episode and the last episode would be a mostly sad one until they finally came back together, but what actually happened was that they ended up getting back together again (like that Hall & Oates song lol) in the same meeting that was meant for the breakup, I really liked that, they actually talked everything out albeit while crying lol, and they ended on a laugh after that kid hit Ryuto with his toy car, capped that scene off nicely. And we ended up having a nice ending to the Kurose drama too with the friendship plan turning into a sister plan, that was nice to see because even tho Kurose was the core of the drama, I definitely didn’t want to see things end poorly for her. What was unfortunate tho was what happened with Nicole, it seemed like she hit it off with Sekiya but I guess he wasn’t ready for commitment or something lol, poor Nicole tho. And if the final episode title isn’t trolling, is Ryuto finally getting some next episode? That’s exciting if so lol, and it would be a good place to end this great show on. |
| I still defend to the death that this anime is not nearly as bad as everyone is making it out to be. It's half decently animated, somewhat realistic in terms of romantic relationships (at least for anime), and actually develops a relationship instead of two people afraid to hold hands. How this has a lower score than Rent-a-Girlfriend I will never understand. |
死人に口なし |
| No drama!!! 🙌 OH COME ON!!!! AT LEAST LET ME BE HAPPY FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE AFTER THE OP!!! That said, I mulled over it for a bit, and I felt that last episode's painfully garbo drama actually brought this down to a 6/10, not an 8/10. All the blegh teen drama wore me out so much that even the Runa/Ryuto crying scene didn't do anything for me, despite that being the first thing to not feel forced in a while. I'm not gonna watch a season 2 of this anime, if such a thing happens. Gimme a second season of that one anime that's falling apart every episode, the animation quality is so terrible there that it's actually fun to watch, in spite of how much I despise the actual romance there. It'd be less embarrassing if they just phoned it in with this anime. I'll watch the last episode, but beyond that, the cute moments were cute, the drama was mostly a miss, and I'm just going hope that another anime comes around that can do drama better. |
 |
| Are they breaking up? - No, they don't. Are they breaking up yet? - No, the don't ... Now they are breaking up, isn't? Again, they're not. That's the summary of the last... 5 episodes? It was cool at the beginning but it became annoying after the 3rd time. At least it seems he's gonna score one. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |

| AGAIN WITH THE RACE CAR SHIT BRO, CRINGE I'm starting to like Kurose a lot more, I feel sorry for her now, like, she WAS evading Ryuto, yet those 2 dumbasses keep having relationship troubles because of damn Runa, wtf bro At least Runa stopped her shit, she was the real loser here, imagine having multiple ex boyfriends, having sex with all of them, and no being jealous as fuck because SHE THINKS his actual boyfrend cheated when she knows well that the dude is a total virgin that is evading that girl, she even heard what happened live in the phone call, what a loser. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| The park scene felt very melodramatic, and the toy sports car help prevented the show from completely veering off into Spanish soap opera territory. I will agree with the comments saying the animation wasn't up to par, and that the voice acting did the heavy lifting. The ending for this episode is such a tease. After reading some spoilers for later entries for the light novels, I do wonder if they'll go with an anime original ending for the last episode.... |
| I would've been really angry if they made Luna blow up the fact her sister and Ryuto crossed paths out of proportion again. So glad the "break up" of this episode was just based on her realising that she is hurting the relationship with her mental issues and she wanted to let him go because she was feeling bad about it. That is kind of mature, even though she SHOULD be open about these thoughts and allow him to decide for himself if he wants to deal with these kind of situations happening over and over again - so that's the immature part about this break up. But it's good that Ryuto finally spoke up and they could settle this matter. |
 |
| seems like a dream at the end. that reminds me, this show needs to end with a bang to make up for how bad it's been. |
 |
| Most of the breakups would never happen if girls stop overthinking still Ryuto crying move was very effective they handled it maturely. |
 |
| This episode went from our love story to our breakup story then back to our love story in a matter of seconds. |

 My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
| Thank God the power of love helped Ryuto & Runa not go through with Runa's break up plan, because if it did I'd probably throw my laptop out the window fuming NGL. Also happy that Maria got her happy ending as well. I know not everyone was a fan of her, but hey she's not perfect. She makes mistakes as well. |
 |
| That park scene was great. Would have been less cringe in a more private place. |
| Thank frick the drama is finally over! Happy endings for everyone ... except Nicole. Just feel bad for her at this point man. Sekiya has officially lost chad status for me. What an idiot. |
| Ah this episode is full of many ups and downs, exasperated by my own irl events. I am glad that at the end it is very positive, and it seems like next episode, last episode would be spicy! |
| Next episode looks promising. Dude dumped demon gyaru twice, brutal lol... Well, a not so much break-up, then... Thought they were done for, given the title... |
| Sorry I'm too lazy to make a gif or whatever, but at about 19:29, Runa somehow masters the art of pivoting on the ground while remaining kneeled. that was cool ig They better bang in the final episode. I mean it's 99.9% certain they won't, but if they do, it will have made this, whatever all this was, worth it. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Finally all those bottled up feelings boil over and we get a proper moment of relief from the both of them, something they both VERY much needed. |
Undefeated  Bahamut |
| I feel bad for angry-gyaru I hope they made it up and fix their relationship in the next episode. |
