Shu being best bro.

I don't know why people think that Kanade's obsession with Shu is creepy. I think they portrayed it very realistically.

She's his twin, so obviously she has a closer bond to him than with any other sibling.

Not only that, but when she hurt him, she never shook that guilt. She basically assumed she ruined his fucking life. If you did irreparable damage to a family member you were close with you'd probably feel guilty as hell too. Cant blame her for wanting to devote her king authority to medicine to fix him.

This was a good growing point for her. Shu was finally able to tell her to her face that he doesn't blame her, and that he's happy where he is now and wouldn't want things to be any different. Now she doesn't have that guilt hanging over her. She was able to release all of that locked up emotion. Kanade can focus on just being a sister, and can run for king for herself, not out of obligation.

I agree with everything you said. And I don't think Kanade's relationship with Shu was weird because I like their twin bond. Shu and Kanade are very close and I think is nice that they're very close and they have each others back.

First part - im glad Hikari decided not to reveal her identity to the public, showing she wants to be an idol not because it will help with her election campaign. Nice to see her coming clean with Sachan, and they can now both perform well together with no hold-backs.

Second part- Nice moments between Kanade and Shuu. I wonder if Shuu is able to convince her somehow that she doesn't owe him, she will give up on the election..

I'm suprised, yet delighted to see such development in such a short amount of time. And that's why this is one of my favourites among this season.

First half was a bit.. iffy. But the second half of this EP was very sweet and soothing.

A tad too serious for my taste, but good episode nevertheless.
Always looking forward to the next episode. :)

I didn't like the first part, it was boring to me. The second wasnt the best either but I'm glad Kanade is aiming to be King for herself now.

The story of Shu and Kanade made this episode for me. So far it's one of my favorites of this anime.

How nobody figures out those girls' older versions... Akane offered to go to the store? Huh?

Kanade wants to be a dictator, not surprised.

Although Hikari is the young, she does look and behave like she's the older one. I loved when she'd decided to not take an advantage of her royalty to have more points in election.
Shuu and Kanade's state looks more like my relationship with my brother xD So lovely they're :3 But he should've been walking with Hana :3

lol does anyone else think Sakuraba Light sounds like a name for beer? :p

The sibling drama between Shuu and Kanade is super forced, an I can't believe they even go so far as to bring up the juvenile argument that "I was born first so that makes me the older twin and therefore I'm better than you!" really?

haha now Kanade wants to beceome king to be a dictator. That's not gonna go well with the general public xD

Episode enjoyable to follow and fun at the same time, the gags are fine, but at the same time while being sympathetic narrative, is also able to characterize and unravel the problems between the characters; one of these is among Kanade and Shuu. Pleasant solution, drawings and animations of good quality, I wonder what they think of the series finale.

Akane got hips and booty now.

SAVE YO FUTURE WAIFU, SHUU!

Kanade in Shuu's arms. I wanted them to kiss so badly.

Kanade going to become King to allow twincest.

Shuu carrying Kanade was so cute.

Just fuck already.

Shuu x Kanade needs to happen.

Akane as fangirling assistant was great. Glasses really fit her.

The little idol drama was rather uninteresting.

Shuu acting like a big bro was nice.

It's always fun to see Kanade's gentler side to get the spotlight. Really sweet how Shu finally gave her some closure on his leg as a big bro but he's unleashed a dictator lmao
