Really good episode! I am guessing the reason Kyoya doesn't view Shinoaki and Nanako romantically is because he admires and respects them too much before he went back to the past. I guess he does like them to a certain extent, but he can't go past it. As much as I want Shinoaki to win, we don't know if Kyoya will eventually get over that admiration or respect barrier.

Sayuri looking good though in that lingerie and nightgown. Pretty hilarious how she thinks Tsurayuki and Kyoya is a thing, I guess Tsurayuki really is part of Kyoya's harem lmao. Really looking forward to the next episode, I hope their game succeeds after all the effort they've put out.

Yeap, this episode lost me. I had some fun, but not really looking to spend my time with lovecoms. It started with an interesting premise, and there were some genuinely touching moments that kept me engaged, but there's less and less content and more and more ecchi packaging each episode, and in this one we crossed a line. It's bait and switch of the worst kind. I knew there was going to be a harem from reading comments in the first episodes, and I was prepared to accept some of it, but when it becomes the core of the story, all is lost. Too bad, another one for the drop pile.

If there was an alternate version where Tsun and Kyoya got together, I'd watch that though. Would be a great twist for such a sellout harem.


I agree.
This anime is turning into SaeKano. I enjoy Saekano, because I started it knowing that I shouldn't take it seriusly. But this anime promised "a drama/romance about an adult returing to his university life", and I only see the same things that we can find in the most of school/romance/comedy anime.

By the way, the MC kissed one of the girls but he ingnores that she has feelings for him? Is like the script in this episode ignores the kiss scene.

Yes, I totally agree, it happens on this episode as well, he acts dense just seconds after admiring and blushing for Shinoaki cuteness on the Christmas scene, also the semaphore red-light just after Shino asks if it's ok to be with her on Christmas pretty much means the end of the weird ignored romance between then, it makes no sense.

"I have the mind of a 12 year old so I don't know what sex is please explain this to me." & "Which girl do you like more?" "I do not have the personality to sufficiently answer that question." & "Are you and Tsu-kun fuckin?" "Bro, no I'm not gay!" Tbh that would be a great twist at this point. Also she literally drove his ass down to some docks and then left him there lmao but our dense protag didnt even seem to realize.

Not enough screentime for Kawasegawa Eiko... I was looking forward to seeing more of her...


Probably she will get it in last episodes, I hope…


Why whats wrong with her character? Shes honest, competitive, independent and help bring reality to the table, it helps heighten the series. You can't always be joyful and pretend that there are no problems.

She cares about Hashibas group getting first place, mindful about the group by suggesting that she can leave, helped Nanako get to her senses and so much more. She even knows when to refrain back. If it weren't for Eiko, where did you think Nanako would end up? She would be in despair by the future just like Kyouya.

Shes a very crucial character for character development, thats whats makes her so good, shes not even being rude.

She can't simply lie or sugarcoat to Kyouya this episode on how he should approach things, or else he wouldn't get anywhere. You have to understand why the writer wrote Eiko this way. All the other characters you see are just plain and generic.

no, she just simply rude no one in their right mind will roast someone when the whole squad is celebrating. try it irl and i bet u someone will 100 percent slaps u. again theres plenty way to be real not when ppl are having fun. Nanako knows her weakness, she not being deluded.

she's not even in most of the ep. she is literally a side charac who happens to have 1 or 2 lines and thats it. she's not crucial but kyouya is.

oh the guy didnt say anything bad abt kawasegawa so idk why are u trying to defend her lmao

This was easily the worst episode of the series (and i thought this wouldn't get worse)
it was 22 minutes of

Rushed romance development
Cringe love triangles that make to love-ru proud
Cringe ecchi scenes
Every single human being somehow sucking kyouya because he's the MC
The singular "change" it was which was Tsurayuki arranged marriage died out in a single episode it had no reason to even exist outside of creating a generic "you make your future scene"
We barely see the actual development of their project *again*
The characters still feel as artificial as the Dolls of a kid playing Doll house

AND EVEN WORSE, HE SAID THE NAME OF THE ANIME
AM I WATCHING THOSE SHOUNENS FOR 5 YEAR OLDS? LIKE WTF, HOW MUCH CRINGE CAN YOU GET TO SAY THE NAME OF THE ANIME

Honestly this is easily showing how majority manage to have a shit taste on content, this is the most generic poorly thought romcom i ever seen, and its almsot reaching 8 in general avaliation, while a bunch of other animes in the season with some form of meaningful message or some actual well thought script are just receiving 7 or lower

I think everyone is missing the fact that Kyouya said himself that he doesn’t feel the same way for either Shinoaki or Nanako when he was asking Kawasegawa for advice. Neither of those girls is gonna win and it’s pretty lame considering I’ve been totally in the tank for Shinoaki from the start and I kinda thought they had already agreed to date. So far the dialogue and plot has me a little confused as to what the fuck Shinoaki and Kyouya were before and even now? I guess we’ll see what happens in episode 8 when the game development is over, although likely any relationship isn’t gonna develop until the end of the series (bc anime) and at this point it’s looking like Kawasegawa is gonna be the writer’s choice here.

Well it has been an interesting journey these 7 episodes, but it looks like the ride stops here for me.

With the trashy harem elements becoming more at play I am finding barely any enjoyment in this series. I have been in the fence these past few episodes, so this was what finally did it for me.

I may pick it back up if it magically gets better, but I’m not holding my breath.

Wait, so you've kissed Shinoaki (and almost again on two other occasions) and you don't have any special feelings towards her? Sucks to be Shinoaki.

From being gunned down by two female interests to being suspected of leading his male friend to his gayness. Poor Kyouya nearly had it in with the fishes. This episode was too cheeky and saucy at times. I guess that's just uni life and I must be living it wrong. Shinoaki X Kyoya btw. For others cheers for the effort.

Glad that the show is back after 2 weeks.

I had to laugh when Sayuri thought that Tsurayuki and Kyouya were in a gay relationship, but at least that misunderstanding was cleared. At least she gave us a nice shot of her in some sexy underwear and nightwear during her failed attempt to seduce Tsurayuki. =3

Not only that, but despite the kiss from 2 episodes ago, it seems that Kyouya hasn't returned Aki's feelings at all, which is, honestly, a welcome surprise. At the moment, he feels that the constant advances from Aki and Nanako are effecting the game's development, hence why he went to Kawasegawa for advice. With his EX charisma skills, he got her blushing, too. She'll be all over you at this rate, Kyouya! XD

I do hope that the game will come out well, but I do sense some more drama down the line before then. Nanako still has a chance to win Kyouya's heart, even though he's not showing interest in her or Aki just yet.

I don't know... The MC feels just so emotionally cold. I mean yeah he helps his friends and is older in his head, but he kissed the girl and nothing happens and he says that he don't have any feelings for her? What?

Everything is going so well that I'm starting to fear something reaaaaaally bad is gonna happen soon. From the start of the show I've been rooting for Shino Aki. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Nanako, but no way is she better than Shino Aki. Since Nanako is in on the offense now, I'm starting to worry the best girl is going to get thrown to the side again like shows in the past.

I don't like the romance and Harem-esce stuff taking over. I'm here to see the characters and see them grow and become successful as they overcome challenges. The show started out so good when none of this was the focus but the romance has almost completely taken over, and it's generic two girls fighting over him in the most harem way possible, so annoying.

Plus Kyoya has completely regressed, he's meant to be an adult but just a 'right out of highschool' girl hugging him from behind is enough to make him gasping for air and be speechless. Even tho last episode he was willing to go in for a kiss with Shinoaki despite no prompt for it cause he though it was official but now he just goes back to freaking out over the lightest touch.

And Kawasegawa actually calls him out on being wishy washy and a loser and called him a dirt bag but then enables him by telling him to keep being a generic weird anime protag. Seriously! I love many aspects of this show but the harem style romance ticks me off to no end and it's taking over the show, hopefully it's just for this arc and it can settle down afterwards.

Did they actually leave him at the end of a random port, without offering to drive him home lul

Regardless, I'm not a real fan of how "easy" things are : I expect more drama or obstacles on the road. It started with a first episode expressing life itself, with his difficulties, and now it turns into where everything is positive : MC has 2 (probably 3) girls loving him, a guy who would give him his live out of trust, a project which might earn big, supported by a big gaming name already, etc.

It seems that Nanako is not going to give up and has made it clear to Kyoya. Both she and Shinoaki are going on the offensive and the results are interesting.

Now, that was probably the lamest scream I've ever heard. Overall, Kyoya is such a bland character and his VA doesn't help him at all. Also, you're going to tell me that after kissing Shinoaki and later trying again, he says he doesn't feel that way about either of them? WTF! Dude, say you're confused or something but don't say that. That was awful.

I can't blame Sayuri for thinking that Tsurayuki and Kyoya had a physical relationship lol. It's ridiculous how much everyone trusts him. Too bad for her though, she really tried ( Ν‘° ΝœΚ– Ν‘°).

Okay and this episode was great, and it seems like it's not too good to be between two girls in a harem. πŸ˜‚ Hopefully Kyouya was lucky enough to say, but he had more bad luck.

I didn't expect Kyoya to like neither Shinoaki or Nanako romantically, he really messed up by letting their now weird relation have come so far. Also Sayuri truly only has her eyes on Tsurayuki considering she thought he and Kyoya had an intimate relation despite Kyoya flexing a girl on both side of his arms every dinner.

Tsurayuki must have been frustrated when Sayuri just visited him and announced herself being his Fiancee and whatnot, But Sayuri is cute especially that mole I ain't going to ignore that fact

Kyoya being the spotlight of the two as well these lucky mf I mean they have their hands full, But he should speak out what he thinks after things cool down a bit and to not disappoint the two with their efforts

Well I'm going to miss Sayuri leaving the house it was fun while it lasted and I hope there's a tiny bit of drama to stir up the atmosphere.

this anime plot is funny. while it takes lots of time only on this game arc, the pace feels too fast.
the whole tsuryoaky and his fiance felt more like a breeze and felt hollow because of the pace.

i really didn't understood here something, previous episode kyoyay stated that he and shinoaki are kind of couple, but here he is confused about it?
i also don't understand how a guy with 28 years old mind actually feels embarrass from shinoaki trying to touch him. i mean, is this guy sane?
