Whoa, is Akane getting a little bit jealous or at least more tense regarding Himari and Saito's relationship? On another note, I do like Himari's honesty better. She knows what she wants even as Akane's best friend.

Same reactions from Himari as always, she never changes. I enjoy watching Himari more in this show tbh.

Himari made her move it's a shame she is to late tho.
Now the big question that remains is when will she find out about the marriage it should be a interesting scene to watch.
Anyway the main being stalked by his wife was funny.

My heart actually skipped a beat when the tear fell from Akane and she stopped Saito going out for his "date".

She is absolutely adorable!

W’s all around for this episode. Himari for being a good sport about rejected and Saito for baiting Akane into admitting she was jealous over the date lol. Very sweet and wholesome as per usual. Himari never had a chance sadly, but that doesn’t minimize how much I love her. She’s such a sweet and honest girl and even if things don’t work out with Saito, I’m sure she’ll find someone nice for her.

Shise being the voice of reason in these situations and diagnosing every relationship problem is so cool. She’s like a stand-in for the audience when characters are being dense and you wanna screen at them through the tv. If they just used her for that, instead of the brocon gimmick she’d be awesome.

Now that both girls know how they feel and Saito knows, the real competition is on! Go get your man, Akane.

Everyone is saying akane this akane that. But I feel so bad for Himari after watching this episode.



And I hate the fact that Akane just keeps outright denying everything she's ever asked about saito. It's really annoying and frustrating to watch.I mean come on who are you fooling?? You're just deluding yourself. As a manga reader, Himari was clearly the superior choice.

Shisei shadow dropping a random fact about human blinking without context had me dying LOL

It's sad how rooting for Himari also means rooting for Akane's husband's (potential) girlfriend since she's just so much fun. Kudos to Saito for putting his wife first tho.

Now Himari is making a move for Saito by openly saying that she loves him. Well, I guess it's time for Himari to get more spotlight since she's been lacking in the last few episodes.

I thought Himari was a snatcher or something with a cunning nature, but even so I don't think she's that bad. In fact, her demeanor is cheerful and she also has a really good relationship with Akane, even though she was definitely rejected by Saito she didn't give up that easily, she really is quite a stubborn girl.

Seduced by a strawberry parfait. Akane again showing that she is somewhat shallow.

Recruiting the secret wife to set you up with the hubby. An interesting addition to RonCom motifs. Akane being a total dumbshit lying to Himari, others, and especially to herself about her situation, and going along with the wingman bit.

Love the way Himari's tie overhangs her bust.

"In heat at school."
"No one's in heat."
Yes you are, I smell a male in rut."
"Get off and then we'll talk."
"Nuh-uh Shisei will live between Brother-kun's legs forever."
"That area is not habitable for humans."
Goddamn that cracked me up.
The penultimate line there brings couscon to the fore again.

Poor Saito really felt those comments from Akane but in the end, Akane letting her true feeling burst through before the "date" was a great sign of relief. I'm really enjoying this anime, I've learned a while ago to never judge an anime by its LONG names, you might be missing out on something that's amazing. I also have to say that Shisei cracks me up lol

@ajw215799 I will ship Saito with Himari instead. She's a more potential and supportive romantic couple rather then his forced-to-married wife. But it doesn't mean that i don't like Akane's personality. Tsunderes sometimes could be a jerk when they lying, even with their own feelings. I mean, come on, Akane. She's already married but how dare she badmouthing her husband?

It's kinda funny when Saito decided to go on a date with Himari, ends up with Akane jealously crying. But despite being rejected, Himari won't give up on asking Daito to date her.

@Niwaka_Samurai

Honestly, the pace is a bit fast even in the source material (LN)... but yeah, this chapter feels a bit rushed (especially, the part when Saito tricks Akane with his date with Himari, on the LN it was a bit more paused, but here was basically 2 secs)...

Considering the series just got the final volume in Japan (Vol. 10)... I expect a 2-cour run to adapt the whole story.

Akane should have been honest with her best friend right from the start. I can only imagine being hurt that Saito and Akane deliberately hid the fact that they are married from her. But with her personality I think she would be just fine with it. Also, I wish they pit in a 4-6 second delay before Akane stopped Saito from going out on the fake date. Just to have the viewers waiting a bit for the actual reaction.

I was enjoying this show a lot but I am pretty upset about how little respect Akane is showing for her best friend.... Tsundere is one thing but a big fat liar that strings her friend along is another and I think it's pretty gross.

How does Himari not have self-confidence? She's real. She should be with Saito fr. Akane is meh and so damn annoying lol

I hate that Akane is lying to Himari.

Akane talking shit about Saito while he's a couple feet away is brutal 😭💀

Bro what is this anime? She was being all feisty and as soon as he opened the door she started crying..huh?

At first I thought that Himari knew that Akane and Saito were, at least, going out and she was trying to get Akane to admit that but maybe Himari really doesn't know? Hmm we'll see as this show progresses.

Regarding Akane finally admitting to Saito that she didn't want him going out with Himari, that was a very wholesome moment, especially after Saito told her that he actually turned Himari down. I'm hoping Akane and Saito continue to get closer despite the insulting lies she said about him to Himari when they were all in his house and that Akane tells Himari that they're actually married.

Probably the worst episode since the first. I'd say those two are the worst of the 5 now out by far. I told myself back when we first learned Himari had a crush back in episode 1 or 2 I think, I forget which, that I'd give the series some bonus points if it somehow wasn't Saito, sparing us the eye-roll inducing cliche drama from such a plot point. But in retrospect I was only fooling myself. Has a single other male character besides his grandfather even gotten a line of dialogue in this? Who else could it have been? Haven't we grown past this forced nonsense in romance shows? It's 2025! Can't wait for the fallout when Himari learns Akane was lying and really does love him, assuming that isn't season 2 or beyond material, feh. Of the Winter Season shows I'm watching to this point this is hands down the weakest. Probably why I watch it first every week, I like to save the shows I think I'll like and get the bad ones out of the way.

I don't know the word for it, but it doesn't seem like the redhead "loves" him, maybe she is barely starting to warm up to him, because of being forced to live together and all the time they have spent together.

Even hearing her say "Don't go" and "you are my husband", felt more possessive of him, rather than love. It was nice to hear that she didn't hate him, but I wouldn't call it "love".

She loves her friend the blonde girl, so she doesn't want to get in the way, especially since it is a forced married, and she has hated the guy the entire time, before living together, so a major part of her doesn't see any problem with them getting together, but the little part that is just starting to spark, is the thing causing her to become jealous, possessive, and now a rival to her blonde friend.

Heck I think neither one of them deserve the blond girl as a friend or partner, she is better than both to them and my favorite character. 🤣
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Didn't really like how Akane behaved in this one on multiple levels. Lying to her best friend repeatedly, lying and trash talking Saito in the process, etc. Kind of gives the ick even with the tsundere personality.

Akane getting more adorable each episode... ☺️
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.

I don't know. I liked the episode cuz for once Akane was actually honest with herself, but i don't know how i feel about Himari being tricked this way. I understand if they don't wanna make it public, but if Shise, who's the closest to Saito knows the truth, why can't Himari who's the closest to Akane know the truth as well? It ain't like she gonna tell anyone. So i don't know how i feel about them both treating her this way. I can understand Saito since it's not like he's Himari's best friend or anything, but Akane is, so this is bad friendship on her end to be honest. Anyways, excited for the upcoming episode, since its title looked cool, apparently the couple is gonna go on their first date. Excited to see how that's gonna turn out.

@MichBibendum You're funny, they're already married LOL, so Akane has right to stop Saito stolen by another girl. BUT, Akane's huge mistake here is she didn't tell to Himari that she's already married to Saito. I mean Himari technically is her best friend, so Akane is unfaithful here. Also, the problem here is Akane still doesn't realize her own feeling, so that's why she didn't stop Himari approaching Saito even until she asked him to date her.
