| This episode revealed a lot for the plot, first off it looks like the mayor is completely clueless and it’s actually his daughters running the show, kinda feel bad for him lol, and next is the big reveal of what Shu is losing when he gives Kisara her power, and it definitely looks like it’s his memories of being with Ayano, and man that is really sad lol. Ayano is currently my favorite and that hurts to know, there’s definitely gonna be a very feelsy ending to this show. And Mini Mothra was definitely a problem until Shu and Kisara used some very cool teamwork to take it down, Shu pulled out his Destiny 2 exotic and double tapped the same spot with pinpoint accuracy, a really awesome sequence. And lastly, damn that heavy weapons act, what a silly law lol. And man that ED is starting to hit, I already loved it the first time but it’s taking me back to Idaten Deities from last summer and I am loving it! |
| Finally this episode actually had me caring about Shu. Now we know he’s sacrificing something for the power and genuinely loves his ex. I really hope this ends well for all 3 of them somehow. I wish the series goes up from here |

| Tit for tat huh. More powers in exchange for memories. As long as Shu gets through his objective, he'll stop at nothing. |
 |
| This is the worst show of the season. It's the only reason I'm watching it. It's so vapid and shitty that I want to see how worthless it ends up being in the end. |
| Oh no, the red flag is rising. Get ready for the feel. |
Escape0707 said: theassholeofmal said: W While it is true that Asian people tend to be more reserved, I don't think any cultural background is needed to understand the mentality of the characters in White Album 2. Perhaps one can relate to it more if they're in a similar setting as that of the characters, but the dramatic struggles are universal. I mean, it's not the third highest rated visual novel on VNDB for nothing. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it! For me it’s even more special is that amongst all those highly praised VNs, it’s based purely on non-supernatural world setting. Exactly. In the top five, you'd see Muv Luv, Steins Gate, WA2, Umineko and I think, Muramasa. Among them, WA2 is the only story that doesn't have a complex supernatural setting. |

To love someone that love someone else :( I might have guessed there will be drama but... D**n you Maruto-sensei :( |
  |
| Oh no, the signs are there. Pls no sadge ending :( Pretty nice episode either way, my favorite of the 3 episodes out rn so far. |

| Lol Kisara inserting herself into the family photo and waiting in that fountain. I love that crazy demon! But on a more serious note, it’s interesting that Shu’s sacrificing his memories to give her power. I guess that’s the terms of their contract. He’s doing whatever he has to in order to have his revenge for his family. I don’t know if that’s worth the cost though. At some point, he’s gonna forget everything about himself. That’s a pretty high price to pay. Makes sense why he broke it off with Ayano though. He cares for her still and wants to protect her, but he’s being driven by pure hatred and a list for revenge. Can’t have her sucked into that I guess. Speaking of which, how cute she changed into the outfit she wore on their first date to meet him at the spot where I presume was probably their first date lol. I really liked how she just had that whole list of stuff he’s done in the past to let her down just right in her back pocket haha. All in all, solid ep. This one is quickly becoming one of my new favorites this season. |
| Very interesting episode, so the mc exchange some of his memories for her battle abilities, also at the end revealed which memory it was. |
 |
| just want to say noooo, ayanoooo sann... Shuu sacrifie his memories to beat that fkng buttefly??? |
| anw is that the same spear in this scene? |
| Well damn… did not expect that twist coming. He loses parts of his memories each time he and Kisara kiss and give her power. They sure didnt make it this dramatic the first time we see it happen. Feels bad for the 3 of them ngl. One loses the memories he has of his loved ones, the other robs those memories and she see’s the memories of her loved one loving someone else beside her and her witnessing the suffering of that loved one dealing with it, and the other either having no idea whats happening or having to witness her loved one suffering while she has no power to prevent it from happening. Calling it now, sad ending coming bois! I am glad I couldnt connect with any of the characters and wouldnt mind any of them dying anytime! I can watch this without having my anxiety sky rocket unlike with Lycoris. |
  |
| it's hard for Shuu to lose a part of his memory for use the power of Kisara :o but for save someone we like, i imagine we can do everythink even if we have to lose memory with her |
| Man, I am feeling super sad right now. Damn it show, how am I gonna fully enjoy the light hearted parts that I am sure we'll still have in future episodes after knowing all this information. Now I need my memories of this episode to be engage kissed until the end. Sadness aside, this was definitely the best episode so far in terms of what it adds to the story. I heard also that this will be a 26 episode split-cour, so I am really interested to see where we go from here. |

theassholeofmal said: I knew it was physically impossible for Maruto to not make his stories depressing. Also, the final sequence with Ayano broke my heart. This show let me down in the last two weeks, but this week's episode was fantastic. In my opinion, the first ep was a banger and I didn't really enjoy the newest 2 as much even though we got a backstory in this one and more character development but the show still has loads to go so we'll see. |
sKyBlazer08 said: I heard also that this will be a 26 episode split-cour, so I am really interested to see where we go from here. Huh? Where did you hear that? Would make my fucking day if that's the case. |
|
| Aaand here we go. It sure is better to learn about that now instead of Key-like split of half comedy and then half drama. I can imagine how this will end now, but let's hope there is a happy ending somehow. |
| 5/5. - that was some badass sniping moves! Kisara wants to apologize to Ayano because she's stealing Shuu's memories in exchange for power huh...and i guess those memories is Shuu moments with Ayano huh... |

| This a better ep than the last two but I still don't like MC |
| Ah so later on Shu is going to completely forget who Kisara and purple hair girl are |
 |
| An interesting episode that focuses on Shu's relationship with the company, and Ayano. As well as an explanation for his hatred of demons because of a dark past. Oh, and apparently, Kisara feeds on Shu’s memory to get her power through the kiss, not anything else... I wonder if Ayano knows about it. I was also surprised to find that Shu has no feelings for Kisara. Damn, you gotta really trust your partner to let that happen  Anyway, a great episode. With Shu giving up his memories by months to power up Kisara, he’s basically slowly killing himself. And it’s made even worse by the fact that KIsara remembers those memories and must live with Shu knowing that her feelings might never be reciprocated. I fear some sad times ahead. |
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |
| I smell bad ending, I hope I'm wrong it will be better if the three of them are together at the end of the episode. Good episode 4/5 |
“Life is never boring, but some people choose to be bored.” — Wayne Dyer |
| "I don't care what I have to lose if it's to fulfill my objective", damn that's a powerful line and I feel sad. |
 |
| That's a cruelty of a dream if you ask me, Shu's definitely more than meets the eye of being a harem guy. Though Kisara self-inserting herself into Shu's family picture, that's funny. So Bayron City is powered by Orgonium (kinda a wannabe Gotham City) that many numerous people have sought after its technology that provides resources to the city, much less the Demon Hazards when they appear. And naturally, this becomes a case for the auction for extermination, and Shu might find more answers by taking up this job, but his ex Ayano is just counting her grudges against the yandere Kisara hiding in the fountain lols. The B-rank class caterpillar Demon Hazard that Shu thought he'd handle the same, is different this time, though his contributions can't be ignored as well. For now, no one can do the demon extermination job better than him, but it's his objective of getting his memories sucked out for Kisara's power that is the biggest question mark, which meant that Shu literally is a hollow shell of a husk, a boy with nothing but goals written to protect others the same way he couldn't for his family. To give up memories for power, that's a power-up unimaginable. |
 |
| So Shu loves Ayano and Kisara is just a doormat, Wow. The caterpillar monster was amazing though. Felt it deserved a real fight, and not a quickie it was given. |
How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| Although its the same ol' "defeat monsters" formula of the previous two episodes, its a good thing that they introduced us to the consequences of using someone as powerful as her. Its a bit depressing and hence doesn't mesh well with the tone though one can also interpret that as a poetic contrast. |
 |
| This episode delivers what's been missing so far, a reason to care. |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| So I guess shuu's sister is still alive, became a demon as she got speared in that flasback scene, now roams around the city probably even being responsible for the demon appearances and he either wants to kill or safe her. I wonder if his sister is the one from the games' key visual, just don't know yet why the spear is burried below the city now. Really curious and hyped for more flashbacks especially how shuu met kisara. |
| That's sad how Kisara has to suck the memories of Ayano out of Shuu in order for her to power up. But does it HAVE to be the memories of Ayano specifically? Why not just take the memory of when he took a really good dump or something? Anyway I hope they made a lot of good memories together because otherwise Kisara would become useless real fast |

I am so curious how it's gonna end up with relationship of Shuu and Ayano in the next episode and how they gonna fix it probably. I am still puzzled like how exactly demon get their power to be stronger? is it memories or something else to give Kisara power ? Maybe a clear flashback of kisara past or about shuu family will give a clear answer of this puzzling episode. But overall this is a really great episode. |
 |
| Death flags for Shu has risen now, he's definitely not gonna "die" perse by the end of this but rather becoming a hollow shell as there's no memories for Kisara to suck him out of. Top tier security department for this city totally |
| Losing some memories every time he helps Kisara to get powers is hardcore especially how much she needs to consume and with an attack that often he'll start losing most of his memories pretty soon, so that's what to expect in the future... |
 |
| I find the dialogue of this show hard to follow for some reason. Anyway damn if Shuu is going to lose memories from ever kiss power exchange deal he better at least make every kiss a good one hah Feel sorry for the three since it effects all of them. |

| This is getting darker each episode. Losing one's memory as a sacrifice or even a part of your... just thinking about it makes it very depressing. So our MC really did love that blue-haired girl with all his heart... RIP to the pink-haired girl. Now how will this series end. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| this makes a lot of sense now :D but I don't think the songs in OP/ED are any good ;/ thats -1 for ranking this anime |
| (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 ;) |
