The comedy really killed me this episode, nice to see that Alya isn't just the hundred copy paste of a tsundere FMC. But above all Suou is masachika imouto, I got spoiled there will be wincest but it still delivered, saw someone say they have no dynamic but from this episode they clearly do, if the rest of the episode was just their date alone i would've still enjoyed it,

Alisa butchers the words so fking hard I genuinely don't understand what is she saying and use subtitles half the time, other half I understand and die of cringe. Sad they didn't hire a native speaker or at least a person who heard spoken Russian once. Мейдочки из Акибы смогли Женю нанять, а у Дога Кобо что, денег меньше что-ли?

The sister is omega based though, might give this a couple more episodes just for the banter between her and mc.

I, as a russian, honestly glad that Alisa's VA trying to do russian phrases. She really tries, i commend that. But the accent, oh god... First of all, she talks TOO slow for a russian, second of all, she swallows half of the sounds. And it's okay, for japanese VA. I can't stand that "об-ра-ти-на-ме-ня-вни-ма-ни-е", it's slow, it's not russian, it's wannabe russian.
And the choise of those phrases. God damn it it makes me cringe so hard... I want to finish this anime but i think it's just going to be painful. Uesaka Sumire is great VA, i genuinely respect and love her, don't get me wrong, but i think that russian phrases is not something you can just do without experience.

8/10, very good ep I guess, like Yuki and Alisa interaction and in all I like Yuki even more than Alisa. Yuki`s strange but funny, cute and cool girl.

@Oyaxo She majors in Russian, though. The only eligible one for the role.

Imouto made the show, best character. I also can tell that she talks russian with an accent and a little bit off or strange but their translations are way off. They completely change the meaning it huts to watch.
It hurts -> She never said that, she complained that it burns meaning the food being too spicy to the point where it is umpleasant to eat.
I can't -> That's it, I don't want to any more.
Those are closer, but still edgy, i don't know how to express exactly what she is saying in those few lines. It's like idioms or jokes, you can't sometimes relay the meaning in few words. I mean words may have a lot of meanings, so context is required or many of them used in specific meaning or it's figuratively speaking.
I wanna to dissapear. -> At least i wanna fall through the ground (meaning she wanna dissapear), but that's an idiom and google gives go down the drain. (Actually i don't now the ideal prasing or idiom for that)
Glad they choose russian ^^, i would be able to enjoy it to the fullest if it was any other language.

So Yuki was the dear sister he was messaging when he thought Alya gave him a foot fetish last episode.
A total menace at home; mounting herself on her brother to give him a nice view.
Alya momentarily gained Anya's 👀 eyes upon seeing Hell's Cauldron. IIRC the restaurant is a real ramen place in Ikebukuro called Kikanbo.
Yuki's spicy set up forces Alya to put on a brave face with her Russian, but Masachika knows she's writhing behind her false language barrier.
Alya puts on a wide range of costumes, separated by a curtain, he finds it easier to compliment and praise her but the embarrassment only sets in for both of them mere seconds later.

I was surprised hearing that ED theme, I know that song from TikTok and it was used on many videos. Anyway, they modified it a bit, but it’s still ok😂

Alisa tried to be as cute as possible showing that she is interested in Masachika. What would be her opinion when she finds out that Masachika really knows Russian? Every Russian phrase spoken by her till now was not something unknown:)

Yuki Suou is the blood-related sister of Masachika and she is acting weird on his brother, it is not legal though =))

If Masachika joined student council, he would run it with Alisa. On the other hand, the animation and characters are both amazing, can’t wait to find out more!

I loved the ep,and especially all the craziness of Suo🤣's character.
She is my MVP.
But suprised I like Alya since I'm done wrong idea of her.Before starting I was thiking she will be another tsundere that have her simps gang.But,not I appreciate her.
And in fact the MC is good for one time.
I love the idea to have one ed per ep.
Really surprised by this serie.
If she has some intense scenes (emotionals,character developement)later,she could become a favorite for this year.

Oh, so that explains why main dude and Yuki look so similar in terms of character design. And here I thought author was just being lazy when drawing her.

Also did Doga Kobo just "copy" Aoba's changing scene from New Game! for this episode? It kinda gave me that impression.

Overall, funnier than the first episode.

I love how the show plays with the fact that Alya doesn't know Kuze understands Russian, and I hope they make good use of it. Overall, it was an entertaining episode with some solid fan service, which I definitely appreciate.
The ending/cover of "Kawaiikute Gomen" in this episode caught me by surprise. It was really nice.

7/10 for this episode. The fashion shopping sequence was pretty fun and funny, delivering on its tsundere-comedy premise. The bro-con sister trope is pretty eye-rolling for me though.

I said it on Crunchy when I still could, but I'll say it again: I Freaking Love This Show! Yuki just really sold me. This is the best High School Rom Com/SOL I've seen since KS: Love Is War. ( I can think of no higher praise.)

I thought it would be the usual generic romantic comedy but each episode pleasantly surprises, especially due to the attention to detail in the animation and the masterful performance of Sumire Uesaka.

MAL: care to add the ecchi tag? I would do it myself if I could. Or how do you define a show where the genitals of a young woman are practically shown up close. Aside from that stupid scene, so far show do have some funny moments. But still it is overrated.

For a RomCom anime, this really nailed the comedy part.

Alya is cute but we can't count out the imouto. She such a troll and I love her.

I also wasn't expecting a cover of kawaii Goumen as the ED song for this episode.

I enjoyed the twist, but the MAL character profiles show their birthdays are only a month apart. Masachika being a first year and Yuki being his younger sister doesn't quite make sense to me. Either they'd have to be twins or about a year apart, but I assume they're both in high school (I don't remember mention of the same building having middle schoolers), and so probably the same grade since he's a first year and she's younger. I also wonder why the family names are different and why they don't live together if they go to the same school. Even if Masachika got his own place to be closer to school for the commute it would make sense for his sister to live with him too. Maybe they're half-siblings with the same father so that both moms got pregnant close together. That or cousins acting like siblings. Either of those would explain the blood relation mentioned while having the weirdly small age gap.
