| wow. i’m surprised to see so many people choosing “loved it”. i would have thought with general bias people would say “liked it”. i thought it was very mediocre. the plot is bad and i haven’t really payed attention to the visuals or animation but i assume they’re…. fine |

| This show was fun in the beginning but it feels like they're using the same exact recipe for every episode now and it's growing a bit stale for me. I usually don't mind because I clearly enjoy similar anime, but somehow I'm not feeling this one anymore. That's what I was originally gonna say, but as I'm writing this, I see all these volumes on sale in the manga store at the bottom of this page. So clearly there is enough material. Now I wait if it gets better before the end or if the only development will be in the typical final episode again. |

| Very nice festival episode and hey Izumi carried Shikimori to the secret spot, wonder where I've seen this kind of stuff before. Nothing really special to say since the stuff this episode is just vanilla good, except um they're both cute, and f**k the Izumi slander. |
 |
| That's a classic summer festival episode but it's still nice, they could watch the fireworks together |

I couldn’t stand that crap cause I hate the annoying characters and yuri, but yea it’s subjective. Like for me I can’t think of an anime I cringed at more except for the episodes of Komi with the annoying yandere who shall not be named |

Izumi is basically just a much inferior version of Nasa from ToniKawa. At first I thought he was kinda cute but they made him so freakin useless. I guess he was ok in this episode, but I still have very low expectations for him |

Animillion said: Nasa has some cute moments, but he isn't meant to be read as femininely as Izumi is, of course the anime fails to convey this, Izumi's feminine qualities just seem like a failure where his masculinity is concerned, we don't have the proper context to think his behavior is cute when it comes to his misfortune or clumsiness. It also doesn't help that the art in the manga is much better, and the overly feminine sounding VA just makes things worse. He's really not even that useless in the anime aside from his supernaturally bad luck, he just seems downright slow with the poor style of adaptation, but that isn't limited to just him.raiderublaze said: Very nice festival episode and hey Izumi carried Shikimori to the secret spot, wonder where I've seen this kind of stuff before.

Animillion said: The anime went off the fucking rails with his luck, and the sequencing makes it look like all he does is get bad luck and have to be rescued, very ill thought out adapting. His feminine nature is kind of the other half of Shikimori's "cool" side, so in that way I would say it's largely part of the main premise, but I don't even like him in the anime, so I hear you. Oh, and I would agree that the characters as a whole aren't that interesting, it's much more about style/feel, and the anime is mostly lacking here.LostSpectre said: Nasa has some cute moments, but he isn't meant to be read as femininely as Izumi is, of course the anime fails to convey this, Izumi's feminine qualities just seem like a failure where his masculinity is concerned, we don't have the proper context to think his behavior is cute when it comes to his misfortune or clumsiness.

| One of the most decent episodes so far but I still feel this is lacking something... Well let's see what happens in the other half of the season. |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| Aw!! Izumi got them to the top with his own strength! Happy to see a festival and firework date. Those plushies are so cute. I am so happy the dad saved them! LOL at the parents being right behind them. |

| Izumi ruined so much moments from his panicks..... urgh.... and the pacing is slow as always. But the firework scene was alright. I liked how the parents were behind them. |

| The Fireworks Festival. Izumi wanted to take Shikimori to the festival, Shikimori looked beautiful in the yukata. And well, Izumi with effort xd, took her to that secret place to see the fireworks. It was very nice. Izumi's parents must have heard? hmmm xD |
GreyratAnimelist said: whos the three women/Waifus? they look familairYeah! same question in every High school romcom there is always a summer break and in the end of summer break there is always a firework festival. |
 |
| Finally we got some desperately needed masculinization for my boy Izumi. I really thought something was going to happen when he got to the stairs, but he powered through like a real man. Really helps us understand why Shikimori sees him as such a Chad. Definitely the best episode so far. |
-insert NGE meme here- |
| The girls look really cute with their yukata. Izumi carrying Shikimori to the secret spot is so manly~ Finally we can see his development a little bit. Also Izumi's father literally carrying his son and Shikimori on his back lol. |
 |
| Imagine people liking Kanojo, Okarishimasu actually put this anime down. What a double-standard. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| Here we go again.... A fireworks with a female with their painful feet because of the sandals... I just find that Izumi parents are better character than the mc... |
 |
| First half was a borefest, but second half was nb I guess. hmm its finally getting slightly interesting... |
 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. |
| Not a bad episode. I like how the characters are at least expressing interest in one another. It gets terribly exhausting watching shows where the characters are tip-toeing around one another and we barely get any sort of romantic closure by the end. The only thing we're missing at this point is something more physical. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| Their role really reversed XD His father and mother are silly too when they just watch them dating in front XD |

| Pretty wholesome fireworks episode, my guy Izumi recovered from that sunburn fast tho. I got sunburn once and it was genuinely so bad that i knew it was God's calling to me to never step into a ray of sun longer then 10 mins otherwise i would spontaneously combust. Inuzuka really knows how to start competitions with Shikimori where ever they go. Shikimori getting that strike of bad luck but Izumi was determined to reach the secret spot with her. Izumi's dad also coming in clutch to save the day at the end. |
 "yabe." |
| Ninja mom and dad blending into the background |
 |
| Clearly Izumi is far from reaching his dad's strength lmao |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| I didn’t like the first few eps of this but I have to say I’m really enjoying it now. Shikimori & Izumi are just so damn cuuuute! I do feel like the friends couldn’t use a bit more fleshing out as characters though because they aren’t that endearing but they’re not so bad that the show is unwatchable |
 |
| The fireworks festival was a pretty good. The father cracks me up at the end. |
| I don't know why but everytime Hachimitsu does or says anything I smile. She's funny and cute. Izumi's parents are a sweet couple. I like their dynamic. |
 |
| What amazing parents Izumi has. Love them both so much. Hachimitsu and Inuzuka only care about food. LOL. Fireworks were pretty. |
 |
| perfect date ;d this anime brings smile on my face ;d |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| I wondered why his mum would go for a much older dude, but I guess he was quite the stud in his younger years. |
| well, it's justified to try and heal in time for a fireworks festival in yukatas. Shikimori... is choosing a great one, not what i expected, and the double pigtails maybe isn't the best hairdo, but she's still absolutely pretty. She would be great at Point Blank or Time Crisis, i was afraid the stand host was a conman or something but no, he "just" underestimated Shikimori for very wrong reasons. Kyou taking over at the goldfish game was unexpected and it worked out, both for not making miss the fireworks to the main couple and to not make Shikimori look like too OP at everything. Even if, she looked badass before the challenge and from a human point of view she is impossible to dislike for me. As expected, he gave her a boost on his shoulders, and they didn't miss out anything. Oh, well, they did one year before actually. Uhm... what should i think about the Izumis being in the same place and having probably witnessed everything? Whatever. i wanted hard to see them kiss on the bench but they're still extremely cute together. |
