She might get there in the end but, at the moment, all Aika is showing is that she misses the attention. She's been brutal to him, and he kind of deserved it, but her 'feelings' are just loneliness, not admiration for him. When she invited Sasaki to see her sister, and shot Wataru down, there's no affection there. They have got into a pattern, he plays the fool and she abuses him. Same relationship he has with his sister. Sadly, this guy wouldn't know what to do with someone who respects and admires him, which is why he's clueless when Fuuka comes to the bookstore. Wataru and Aika have a toxic relationship but, sadly, this show will pass it off as one of those things and they will probably end up together. In reality, this kind of relationship could never work and is too damaged already.

Maybe they will cover more of it in next ep. I find it ridiculously vague and unmoving from not being clear.
@traed We can hope, my brain just plugged in the reasoning because I read the light novel but it did also take way too long for an aika focused episode. I guess they might've been vague because they were in a rush but that doesn't really help the story when you are so vague with her. We know more about the personal life of some relatively background character in mina compared to the fmc. Almost have to just feel bad for the fmc just for the fact they are neglected so hard in the show.

I liked the interactions between characters in this episode. I liked a lot mainly because of a well set prospect for the next episode. The scene and OST at the end really hit it off for me.

All this episode proved is that aika likes the attention sajo brings and not him as a person. If they end up together then this anime officially sucks.

The more Sasaki shows up, the more I believe that Wataru has his soulmate destined for him, despite her young but mature age.

The middle-schooler that acts like a college student, and the high-schooler that acts like a middle-schooler, it's confusing for Wataru, but the coffee to his sister Kaede remains the same. She knows of her younger brother's part-time job and taking care of Mina, though she hampers her student council work on him as well because there is a lot of backlog needed to be done. And knowing her, the school visit tour needs help on Shinomiya's side, Wataru just wants to act out the younger brother part on behalf of Kaede, that he already rejected once to join the Morals & Discipline Committee, and this is to repay for that time with manual labour, since the committee is only made up of girls. Even at school, Teddy Bear Ichinose-senpai and Yuri are close, though they have managed to repair the siblings' relationship.

Indeed, both Sasaki and Natsukawa looked good together, but her family stuff with Airi and her emotional behaviour, seeing the old Wataru within her back in middle school wasn't a coincidence, and neither is his stalking of her wanting to be in a relationship together. Even as he continues to follow her in good spirits (that soon became the talk of the town in school), it essentially gave her free audience of people roaming around her, even her now closest classmates like Kei. But when the realism of Wataru started, so does her need for Wataru arise when she very least expected it.

Wataru is working hard for the school tour, though this time, it's Natsukawa being the stalker instead, reversing the role which had been there from the get-go. The realization that she cannot move on without Wataru, will she finally give in to all of the stalking he harassed her previously?

Damn this really shows something, you can do everything for a girl and they won’t appreciate it. But it’s when you stop, they realize they miss it….

When I see Ichinose I have several thoughts.

Aika felt something was missing, now I wait what will she say, will she be direct or will she run away?!

Aika, Rin, Kei, Fuuka, all 4 obviously have feelings for Wataru, but other just won't act on their feelings, probably, only Aika will at 1point

Kei is obviously Asa from Shuffle, plays off supportive role messes around just like Asa did and secretly having feeling for MC but it will just end differently then Shuffle

Seeing Aika run with those flashbacks gave me a lot of tenderness.
The animation could be a lot better, but I really like the story. I feel like the existential emptiness is coming when I finish it.
