| Well it ended with another cliffhanger it seems. The spoon part was funny the way everyone was looking at them. And Yuki abusing her position as sister again to tease Alya which worked pretty well seeing as Alya took the bait. Now the question is what will she do towards the main to get his attention and when will she learn that Yuki is the sister of the main. I mean if things go will Yuki and Alya could become sister in laws. |
| Yuki-Chan played dirty on alya lol. Alya-san couldn't defend her stand on her love for masachika. Rivalry between Sister & sister-in-laws lol π€£. I've to wait for Subtitles to understand what she said in Russian lol π. "Yuki what did you say to her(Alya-san)?". Alya-san really loves desserts a lot & our Masachika gets fead by our Alya-chan & that's too cute π€©, definitely that's an indirect kissπ. Alya-san not again!! spicy food got her this time tooπ. Ayano-San she just got added to this bizarre harem of Masachika π. Again New ED Song. Apologies this time i laughed a lot. Yuki-Chan β€ Won this time:-   |

| wow, whay a lovely ending with KAF we have 40 seconds of Ayano in this ep btw, PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP GET PREGNATED  |
| Yikes, it must feel good for this show to have a "Love is War" approach with Yuki declaring her love like that huh? I can't wait to see how the tension will continue later on. Alya didn't hesitate to give Kuze an indirect kiss in a public place even though they're officially not a couple yet - they should marry already. Absolute cinema! Poor on her having to eat spicy food again. Ayano finally made her debut too. Collaboration song is used for the ED this time, good choice. |

| Alya being distracted by Masachika and playing around with her drink and straw at the restaurant there, and even trying to tease him with the indirect kiss with the parfait was nice to watch. The brief scene with Yuki and Alya was alright too with the reverse taking place and basically pushing Alya to being a bit more proactive in her closeness with Masachika. Yuki herself was better than last week, where I found her pretty damn annoying for good chunks of that episode. She is just so up and down as a character for me. A bunch of the episode was filled with conversations about the student council content and that was really boring to watch for me, an element that has always been a turnoff for me with the series. Overall, a couple brief moments were decent but the episode, for the most part, was pretty boring for the most part and fairly forgettable too. |
| They were faithful to the LN till the very end. We finally got Alya speaking Russian (βｑβ§ΛΚπΙΛβ§ο½‘β). Yuki being assertive as usual and teasing Alya. And I absolutely loved that restaurant scene ΰ³ π¨ - thoroughly content. It was just as cute π as it were in the LN. Ayano, Yuki & Masachika's maid, finally makes her debut appearance. Taniyama will play an antagonistic role in the coming episodes. We'll be eating real good from now on. 10/10. |

Another great episodes, I really enjoyed it, I truly regret reading the light novel first before watching this anime.
LighTing4321 said: I truly regret reading the light novel first before watching this anime. I don't. The anime lived up to the LN. Not quite immaculate, but resplendent nonetheless. This episode was so on point to the LN. I find myself smiling ear to ear throughout the episode. The contentment of watching the scenes unfold just as it were in the source material is indescribably satisfying. |

| Yuki strikes again, declaring her love for Masachika to Alya and making her admit she wants Masachika. Chibi devil Yuki and Angel Masha were cute. Got some nice expressions out of Alya hiding her embarrassment with russian. New character calling them sama? Maid? |

| Weekly reminder that Yuki best girl. The showdown between she and Alya this week was so good. Yuki dropped nearly completely dropped her facade and straight up told Alya she loves Kuze more than anything. That sort of bold, assertive and frankly Yandere energy from her is nothing new for us as the audience, but for Alya, she was shook! I think she handled it really well though, not backing down and letting Yuki know Kuze is hers. Love a good battle of lovers lol. Ice cream date with Kuze and Alya was so cute. The whole spoon/indirect kiss debacle got some smiles from me. Running for president is only the first step, now it’s time to actually come up with ways to win. Yuki has a lot of advantages here and they’re gonna have to find a story that resonates with the student body like Kenzaki. Alya’s struggles to connect with other people could actually be a great topic since she’s worked so hard to overcome it. Now that Ayano has shown up things are gonna get even crazier I can’t wait |

| Yuki's ability to casually weaponize her love for her brother and not even have to lie about it kinda makes it unsurprising that she's a monster on the psychological battlefield like, y'know, an election lmao I really shouldn't enjoy Alya's suffering as someone who's also weak to spicy food but the way her composure (and tastebuds) get vaporized by a single spoonful is adorable. |
| Another great episode really loved the interactions between Alya and Yuki. |
| more or less of the same of just developing the presidential race. new character unlocked |

| Such a fun beginning to the episode with Yuki making a mess of things, and pushing a very jealous Alya to try to get closer with Kuze, which leads to an absolutely adorable restaurant 'date' between the two. A couple of new characters are briefly introduced, we'll see who they are very soon I guess. |

Ah, Alya extra Russian in this one, marvelous. |
| Here comes the war between girls! (I guess) |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| This is what I like. The less fan service and more focus on the story the better. Why do they always make the student council elections look like the most serious and important position in the world? Also the Team Rocket reference lol. |

| Kuze: "Do Russian often kiss indirectly like this?' Leonid Brezhnev: "An I took that personally." Another great episode, we finally caught up with manga with this ending. Yuki made it clear to Alya that she is not going to give up her big bro so easily. The stage is set, let the chaos unfold. |

| This is the part of the source which fixed Yuki as best character for me. She loves her brother (as a brother, not a romantic target). Genuinely and unashamedly. And now, she has taken it upon her to help Masachika by pushing Alya ahead. What is particularly remarkable is how smart and quick-thinking she is. She doesn't just randomly lob bombs, she is making them stick. Bundle that with her abundant energy, biting wit, and her otaku abilities on top of it, pair it with her great looks... what is not to love? The definite MVP of the show. Best wingtroll evah. |

| Things are heating up between the characters and I love it. I can't wait to see what's up with the new character. I've been so curious who the last girl on the show's picture was, and she's finally here! I'm looking forward to next week for sure. |

@cuhoangdk lowkey cooked with the last line |
ruin me while ur at it | One little side-detail: When Yuki came clean, she used "ai shiteimasu yo" - This very strong form of "I love (him)" is normally restricted to either _very_ close romantic lovers or family members. And Masachika categorically denied any romantic involvement with Yuki. Perceptive characters might pick up on that. Then again, Alya is not particularly perceptive... |
| Yuki’s appearance just makes the day better |
| Things between Alya and Yuki kind of degenerated. Yuki stated clearly that she loves Kuze-kun a lot, even more than her parents. After all, Alya loves Kuze so much, but I do not know why she wouldn’t admit it. Too bad for her that Kuze knows Russian very wellπ Chances for Alya to be the next students council president are low, since Yuki is unbeatable. She must come with a serious strategy to detronate her and face her head-to-head at the elections. Who knows, there is still a chance for Kuze to be chosen as a president too. Who is that new girl, Ayano Kimishima? I have never seen her before. Is she a new threat for elections or simply a new member in the students council? About the new ending theme, all I can say is that it’s great. I like the lyrics though:) “An indirect kiss” was made and it can represent a start for their love relationship in the futureπ  |

Lots of Alya and Masachika this time.
Although most of them just talk about the current state of the student council, it's still fun. I wonder who Ayano is, and it seems like Masachika already knows each other.

| @RafaBryan Ayano is the better character in this anime! |
| Another episode showing Yuki is the best girl(it's not even a competition anymore) She messed up Alya with her Brocon love and didn't even stutter. Also there was villainess esque bgm. This scene was so good. Freaking Yuki Devil also made a cameo too to mess up Alya with spicy food, again. You can't made this shit upππ Yuki is single-handedly carrying this show idc Kuze is mc or Alya is in the name of the anime. Ik I am rooting for Yuki to beat them (even though she will lose due to plot armour) in this overbloated election thing.  |
WaterMageAug 7, 2:48 PM
| Lots of things revealed this week Alya thinks it's a bit early to be married, Alya has a LITTLE sweet tooth, Masha can transform into an angel and Yuki into an imp, Chisaki despite being the strongest character can't manage to take things from shelves. Sure that's not what has actually been revealed but I want anime onlies to come back to this episode later to realise how neat it was. Sidenotes from the LN: I'm pretty sure Alya's favorite drink is ginger ale so I'm quite surprised to see a melon soda here. Not that I mind Alya and I enjoying the same drink but I'm not sure it wasn't ginger ale in the LN. Can someone having volume 2 fresh in mind confirm what she was drinking? EDIT: I just remember she went for melon soda in the LN too The Yuki x Alya scene was a bit off to me I remember when reading the LN that I felt Yuki was sweet and not defiant when she tells Alya she loves Masachika. The misunderstanding came as natural anyway so the job of this scene has been done.   |

| Alya's appeared oblivious in the student council room. But she was the one who brought Suou into the empty classroom to talk. Damnn, Suou puts on such villainous vibes. Alya's botched admittance came off as possessive, she's remembering what she said to Masachika in Russian that night, I bet. Still deflecting why he knows too much about Russia, oh wait, huh, both of their (Japanese) mothers like tea? Two people in that room knows exactly what Alya's saying yet they all play along. Will jam be involved in the titular indirect kiss? No, it's foreshadowing that she needs more sugar, hence her order at the family restaurant. She's totally lying Indirect tongue-kiss accomplished He ordered Alya's weakness. Who else but Masha and Yuki would be the angel and devil in his conscience, respectively? Who is this Ayano? |
