Maho appears and damn, she is a troublemaker. Somehow knowing about the marriage arrangement, she uses it as an advantage and gets close to Saito.

She's also the most mischievous character from the cast just by her personality alone. Good job on the VA for protraying her character to make it convincing though. Poor Saito, he always gets stuck with drama wherever he goes.

Just how many energy drinks does Momo consume everyday to have that amount of overenergy?
She was overhyped for like 70% of this episode which makes her a bit annoying.
It seems she is putting on the pressure for the couple tho but it makes them realise their feelings for each other which is a good thing.
Let's hope the relationship will improve with this.

Ehhhh idk how I feel about another imouto being introduced. We’re here for Akane and Saito not another harem series. If they’re gonna go that path then that really takes away from what I like about this show.. at least she’s not in love with her older sibling/relative like Shise but still.

Akane know damn well she made us all think Maho was dead tho. I totally forgot about that until Saito brought it up but that was supposed to be her whole motivation for working hard in school and becoming a doctor lol

As long as Maho and Shise don’t distract too much from Akane and Saito I’m ok with her inclusion, she’s funny and basically a plot device to push the main two closer. I just hope she’s not chasing him and being annoying every episode.

Imagine thinking you can out-little sister Shisei.

Had a feeling Akane not directly mentioning her sister died would lead to somewhere but I didn't expect her to be this much of a handful.

Because this new character was sick in their childhood (and is blood related), the main girl is much less jealous/suspicious compared to her views on other girls around mc... that makes any potential ntr that much more bitter. Luckily, the mc is more indifferent to the idol than he "hateful" or interested... so crisis averted.

Their answer should be an obvious no after the ring episode, this is selfish girl and this episode got on my nerves, but their hesitation all the time to fight for each other is getting frustrating.

Don't yank me back and forth with the same "will they or won't they" gag.
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.

I'm on the fence about Akane's Sis. I want to like her, she is such a gremlin like Yuki from Alya, but she is also an un-needed complication. Why is she trying to take away her Sister's husband? Is she that jealous or spoiled?

Yeah I'm not sure if newly introduced little sister Maho is actually a good sister that is willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of her older sister or if she's just a conniving brat, I'm leaning more towards the latter. Beyond that it was entertaining to see Maho try to compete against Shise for cutest little sister competition and I think the feeling of "dread" that Akane is feeling is more that she doesn't want to accept the fact that she has feelings for Saito.

what a bad episode. her sister being ridiculous and no one seeing a problem with that. The worst is Saito who simply gives in to all the demands and even considers a proposal from a girl he has never seen in his life. I hoped that at the very least he would give the answer in the shower. In my opinion, the anime dropped in grade, because we saw a completely different story than when he was with the blonde girl.

<spoiler>
(idk how to do spoiler tag)

she was sick for her whole life, heck she's still sick even now. That's why shes hyperactive, or from her perspective, "when you know you're sickness may not be healed, it's better to go all out and live your life to its fullest and not regret a thing" is something she said

plus she wants akane to enjoy her youth more instead of taking care of her

and thats why she moved out of japan, so that akane can enjoy her life...

well you'll see the explanation of this in the next ep

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 show was trash so far but this episode is just horrible.

Simply put, this would make sense if all the episodes with developments where they admit feelings for each other and affirm their love didn't happen. BUT THEY DID. HOW CAN YOU JUST PRETEND THAT IT DIDN'T??!? DID THE CHARACTERS JUST ALL FORGET THIS? DID THE AUTHOR?!?!

I've seen a lot of mediocre romcoms, but this is an exceptional kind of incompetence that just amazes me.

@Cloughy04 Shise is a Cousin though. Which is not regarded as incest in Japan. She just regards Saito as her "Big Brother".

@Sheol01 Yuki's gremlin energy was such a huge success because she would turn it off when she wasn't alone with her brother or her girlfriend maid. Having a character be full gremlin mode 100% of the time is exhausting.

Welp, I didn't think it was possible but I think we have a new worst episode and character. I may not have liked Himari getting a raw deal, but this Maho character was exhausting just to watch. I don't think the character stopped yapping for more than 15 seconds all episode! See when The Flying Dutchman gave Spongebob back to Mr. Krabs. Obnoxious doesn't begin to describe it. If I had to guess her motivations though I'm gonna guess it has something to do with her poor health based on the next episode title and her background. But if next week's as irritating to watch as this was I may drop this, and it takes a lot to get me to drop something.

Oh, heck no. Last week was a gorgeous bit of drama. Akane went through the wringer and major character and relationship development took place. Now we have this spritely gremlin of her little sister to deal with who has thrown herself into the fiancée pool? She comes in and instantly starts one-upping Shise.

I saw some light novel readers doom warning when she showed up at the tail end of last episode, unfortunately they’re right. I don’t think I entirely like where this is going.

we went from probably the best episode of the season to easily the worst by far. i just hate spoiled brat characters who try to just take what they want, and the MCs just letting her walk all over them pissed me off to no degree. it wouldn't happen because of Japanese culture but if i were in saito's shoes i'd have kicked her out of the house (by force if necessary) several times. also her threats to blab to the students? high school rumors don't stick and besides, who would believe that the two always fighting classmates are married and living together in high school? it's an absurd rumor even for an anime. if he had even a little backbone in the first place there'd be no photo -- no blackmail -- and half the episode wouldn't have happened.

not to mention that at the end of the episode he finally has a moment alone with akane and never says "hey your sister walked into my bath and proposed to me". at no point does he mention how far maho's actually going with this.

i truly hope she fucks off next episode and we never see her again.

@reisuuu I'd argue given the teaser at the end of last episode that it's jealousy. She seemed scheming when saying it and spent the episode being surprisingly manipulative for supposedly just teasing. It would go well with my assessment that she's a spoiled brat who never got told no, as spoiled children IRL try to take things they like from other people (especially siblings) just because they can't stand someone else having something they don't.

Nah I think I found my 2nd best girl of the series.

For how wack and average this series is imouto game is top notch. Shiesei was great but Maho is even one step ahead.

Yeah she is same teasing trouble making gremlin type and she's here for chaos and spice, I am all for it. That bath scene was damn hot..

She's getting way too much hate here, I don't think she is doing this for selfish reason she just wants to help out her sister who is stuck in an unwanted relationship. So far that's what she comes off maybe next episode will change things but I doubt it. She's a plot to make Akane and Saito to commit to their relationship willingly. But what wasn't good was baiting her death, like what why? Writing this type crap.

Shiesei is my favourite till now but idk anymore. She may have won imouto contest, but Maho has taken over..
It's a shame it needed 8 episode to finally include her.

Great episode!

Maho, our new character shows up in full force. Maho, as it turns out is Akane's imouto. She has no restraint and immediately goes straight for Saito's heart. I thought that this was a fantastic episode, creating an ultimatum for Saito.. continue his marriage with Akane, which would mean accepting feelings for her and coming to terms with falling in love with her, or, take a chance with the *cough* more exciting and wild Maho who actually does have feelings for him.

Clearly, Akane and Saito have some feelings for each other, Akane probably more than Saito however, their feelings for each other are still unknown and are shrouded by clouds uncertainty. Which one will he choose?.. ok its pretty clear that he will probably choose Akane, I'd be surprised if he didn't honestly, but a part of me at the same time wants me to route for Maho. Either way, I'll be happy with either option although its pretty clear and almost undeniable that he will choose Akane.


This show overall is probably my favourite romance this season.. maybe next to HLS (I know, unpopular opinion but I love that show).

Looking forward to next weeks episode, see y'all

This plot twist is completely illogical.

The main characters, Akane and especially Saito, were positioned throughout the entire series as intelligent people. And here they both supposedly don’t see that Maho’s psyche is completely disturbed.

But Akane should be smart enough to objectively assess her own sister's mental state.

And the “clever” Saito should have realized long ago that something is terribly wrong with this underage girl who annoyingly molests him and even climbs naked into the bathtub to him.

yeah I get that but just drop the series man. it isn't worth your time if you think that way. You should never force yourself to watch something you don't like!

Personally, I love the series but if I hated it, I wouldn't watch it. Time is precious so use it to watch the things you do love. Even though there's only a few more episodes left.. it's clear that this isn't worth your time so don't worry man just drop it and watch something else. There's no harm in that.
