This ep was really insane, it got really psychological in the first time with pretty complex turnovers.
The reveal in the end is absolutely insane
I hope it will keep it up this way

The tables are turned on Sun thanks to Pansy's help. Hard to turn down those knockers At least he found out the origin of her feelings

Oh man this episode was intense!!! I kinda had a feeling Sun-chan was a D-Bag in the end but man oh man Sumireko had a flawless plan.

Oh God the girl is beautiful with and without glasses. She said she only loves Joro's Dark side, but she clearly fell in love with his everything. I mean she saw him waiting for Sun after the game and instantly fell for him.



-Stray said:

For some reason I kinda like how he didnt fall for her despite her amazing appearance, would love to see how they develop.


YES!!! THIS!!! I was hoping he wouldn't be taken back by Sumireko's beauty (because I sure as hell would have) Because he knows what she is like deep down. We need him to fall in love with her by accepting who she is!!

IM on board with him not falling in love with her immediately.

Whoa ho ho that Pansy was one bad smart bitch, I'm starting to like here.....

So Thanks to Pansy, Sun chan's evil plan was expose......

This was the first harem based anime was prove to be very interesting.



So, Pansy, if you're that hot, why hide behind a dorky look?

Woah, wait a minute... so I was pretty much correct about Sun being a prick based on his mannerisms/tone of voice, but I was wrong as to his motivations? Damn... and I was correct that Sumireko was hiding her true appearance to trick Joro (though that was much more obvious and practically spoiled by the OP).

Man, this anime could have fallen on its face so easily with its premise and setup, and especially with this episode there were numerous times where I wanted to pause because things were getting too overdramatic/ridiculous for my taste, but the actual execution saved it for me. My only gripe with it was that the girls were also listening in at the library.

Like what, she hunted them down and somehow convinced them to hide and not intervene like they have every time so far (not sure how they didn't run into Joro either), managed to coerce Joro into meeting with her, tricked him into hiding as well without alerting him to the girls, and then tricked Sun while also knowing that Sun would get aggressive and was certain Joro would step in for him? All this so Joro would have his name cleared and he would see her in a better light. Wow... talk about a mastermind over here.

Solid episode. Now to wait another week...

Edit: Another gripe that I forgot about - When Joro was cornered by Pansy about why he tried to get her with Sun while acting like he was supporting the girls, all he had to say was something like"I'm sorry, but after Sun's confession, how could I not support my best friend?" Him getting flustered so easily felt... too convenient for the plot, IMO. He helped the girls because they asked him to first, but who wouldn't prioritize their best friend's feelings over those two?

I'm also surprised (and feel it was out of character) that Joro didn't snap at Sumireko for constantly trying to get him in trouble in that moment. Instead he just froze like a deer caught in headlights. Perhaps the excuse would be due to her constantly blackmailing him? Eh.

I mean sure, girls with braids and big glasses are universally hidden bombshells in anime - we've come to expect that - but I certainly preferred the presentation in the manga.

That said: It was quite a fun ep. Pansy FTW!

And that is why I only watch OPs and EDs at the last episode XD

As everyone else mentioned already, this episode was really great! There is only one point that is bugging in my mind. The reaction of the main character on the reveal of Sanshokuin.

Before he was really cold and even hurting. "I'll never love you bc you are so ugly". Wich girl can listen to this words and not feel bullied and self conscious about herself.

But once she revealed herself it was like, ya this would be nice, and then he came up with the bad character. He doesn't deserve her....

Huh... I didn't expect Sun-chan to be a total piece of shit. He even went full rapey mode with Pansy. WTF

I wish the OP and ED hadn't spoiled Pansy's other look, but the revelation was still... wow! Like Joro said, she's perfect. What I don't agree with him and really dislike is when he calls her ugly when she wears glasses and braids, that's completely bullshit, she's far from ugly.

So that concludes this arc and I wonder how this will continue? I expected this plot to last longer, at least a little more.

Pansy best girl.

That was a great twist but I do think the reveal about her being the hot girl was done waaaaaaay too soon, like give it a few days of her growing on him and then boom, "it was me, titty girl all along".

But at least MC was like"you are hot but I'll never fall for someone with that personality" which helps a little bit.

I'm officially 100% on board with this show
The bright spot of this season for me (granted, I'm not watching a ton right now)

While not this year's best Romance/Rom-Com thus far (Love is War is phenomenal and 3D Real Girl S2 was rather well written), it's excelling in the one area I did not expect it to... The characters.
The connections these characters have are rather believable, by romance anime standards at least. In 3 episodes, these people feel very developed.
And the show has gotten me on the Pansy hype train in just 3 episodes.
Joro is a great protagonist as well.

Overall, I'm just very satisfied so far.
That said...
I must ask, what's next?
I say that as a person who has read a bit of the manga, I'm not sure where it could go next aside from developing Joro and Pansy's relationship. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to it.

8/10 so far

I JUST LOVE AND HATE THIS EPISODE!!!

LOVE- Pansy; actually i dont like her character at first since he is making Joro bad by pulling of those things, BUT on this episode i just Love what she is doing... THAT SET UP SHE has done make sun-chan revealed his true identity...

HATE- The 2 girls and Sun-chan

Sun-chan deserves that one. JORO did his best for him but what he just did is he is deceiving his Bestfriend all along planning for revenge!!! 😡😡😡 Joro dont deserve a friend like him..

The 2 girls- THEY HAVE THE GUTS to be angry at Joro where in fact they are the one who used HIM. They must feel sorry for him right after they have known sun-chans true intention.

They rushed it a it I think.. Originally Sun-chan made a kind of war declaration to Joro after he apologized to everyone
Saying sth like "only 2 key players are out"
While I kind of enjoyed the end of this ep/end of vol 1.. I'm really not looking forward to what's to come

When the relationship is at this point already in 1 volume it's bound to get even more twisted.
I also kind of dislike how the whole Sanshokuin part is that Sun-chan only loves her for her looks and that Joro got smoothed over by her looks too. It's.. superficial and I personally don't like it...

But I that was also the end of what I knew through what I've read so far and I don't plan on continue reading for now.. I wanna see where the anime goes

This episode did a great job at revealing realistic dynamics between real people. The true nature of some.

- The usery of some girls and the bird brained aspect, where they will believe anything they hear. Even if it's the weakest fallacy in the book, or the weakest cause and effect statement. Almost ending a childhood friendship over a few simple words... no thought what so ever, just feelings that aligned with their objective. How ready she was to sell out the MC.

- Sun, who was believed to be a great guy, even by the viewers, up until this episode. Had you fooled, right? Plotting, scheming, setting traps. He even planned on sexually assaulting Sumireko because he thought nobody was around. Just like in this anime the same people you think are great people in your life, and would never have such a despicable inner core or ulterior motive... well, sometimes they do. And it can be nastier than just destroying a couple relationships you have.

What was unrealistic is the situation to patch everything up. First convince the 2 girls to hide in the library, and to stay quiet. Get the mc in and somehow not see those girls, get him to grab a book at the perfect moment. Then bait out a confession from sun.

IRL, those girls would ditch the MC and chase sun. Sun would have had his way with the Sumeriko. And all relationships except for maybe sun stringing those girls along would be damaged beyond repair.

So far, so good.
But a few things to consider:

1- I know Sun-kun is an asshole, but to almost make him a rapist? Too far.
2- That drama in the library was awesome, but very unrealistic.
3- Pansy is better without that "I was that girl with giant boobs all along!!!" (although that kiss scene was soo cute).

And I really, REALLY hope that the anime doesn't turns in a harem.
Also, it's nice to have a main character that isn't all badass and still have flaws. It feels more realistic.

Actually he didn't trying to assault or rape Pansy even in the manga did not mention the phrase the word. Because he knees that Pansy was a clever person and he knows that there a lots people trying to protect Pansy life... Specially the two girls (Cosmos, Hinawari) trying to protect Pansy if Sun Chan doing bad intention to Pansy and Joro want to revenge to Sun chan for being trap and trick Joro..

Anyways I want to wait the next arc that will be appeared in few episode soon... Because this will be more exciting..😈😈😈

Holy shit an MC that doesn’t act like a bitch and actually confronts people spreading lies about him?! My blood was boiling the first few minutes of the episode. I’m just screaming in my head I want “Joro to tell those scumbags off but this is an anime so he will just let it side” NOPE he lets it all out and it’s only the 3rd episode! And holy shit Sun Chan about to assault Pansy? Crazy good humor, awesome MC, good drama, OP/ED slaps. Fucking Imperial March played when Bench-kun shows up last episode and the Waifu isn’t just hot but sticks up for her love and shows how awful everyone is. God I love this show! Only gripe I have is Pansy true self reveal was too soon. I’d also wish Joro punched Sun Chan but more is to come so I’ll wait and see!

Kaguya-sama is amazing. And TWGOK got screwed over with its last anime adaptation. Then again...the way the manga ended caused me a bit of grief as well.

Sun-chan went from bro to SAO villain in the span of one episode they even went the extra level of him having a rape undertone moment like what




well after everything that has happened it seems as though they tried to make every shitty thing the MC did Sun did it worst and now he has his harem? back "OK" i mean i'm fine with everyone in this show sucking to some degree

can't wait for the Gals to show up because they are going to be the nicest people and for sure won't bring drama

I always looked at making Joro like her for her and not on how Pansy looked. And she knew his hidden personality and still loved him. Guessing Joro have to look past looks to see the true Pansy.
