I'm kinda underwhelmed by this episode compared to some of the others..

Ryuuji's relationship with Chihiro seems charming but I wasn't too impressed by it.
I thought the episode was the most relaxing one yet though. Series seems to have a fetish for animal ears...lol. The musical performance reminds me of something from Uta no☆Prince-sama♪

That kitchen is bigger then the average apartment.
Miyako must be loved by her father to get such a nice kitchen from him not to mention that it's a entire house.

I've been enjoying the series this far. Like you mentioned, I agree; the series is relaxing. Also very much reminding me of a shoujo/SOL from the mid 2000's, but I'm ok with that.
Looking forward to next ep! Will we finally learn some meaning behind the ED??

Guessing the old lady is his grandmother?

Anyways, it was a nice episode. Nice to see them still introducing new characters.

Miyako is damn rich...

The old lady appeared again, my guess would be she is Madoka's mom which means Chihiro's grandmother.
Nice to see we will be touching on the family issues soon, and why maybe Madoka's been avoiding her.

The birthday was rather underwhelming and should've been given more stuff to do. But the cat theme was good.

6 episode passed and we now at the mid point, I hope the second half carries more drama feels. you know by officially introducing the grandma and getting her to accept Chihiro and forgive her daughter for running away.

I guess Chihiro really take Ryuuji's challenge and backfired at him, huh? LOL
I thought Chihiro will buy Madoka a cat, instead of "becoming" a cat maid. So it's a cat-theme birthday party for Madoka this year.

I know that Ryuji is supposed to look good in shorts but the way Madoka said he had nice legs was kind of creepy. If Ryuji wants to wear something else, why not let him? Even for a few performances? Forcing someone to wear something to suit your fetish is both disgusting and manipulative. Although, that's show business. The moment you change, stans and fanatics will eat you alive. Sums up both the J-Pop and especially the horrendous K-Pop industry.

I'm guessing that older woman is Chihiro's grandmother.

Going by Madoka's words, I think that's the agency's decision; he can't alter the costumes too much and has to keep the silhouettes.

Yeah, this episode was a bit underwhelming. It felt a little slow. But that's okay, with it being a SOL. It was nice to finally know who those people in ending were. And it was really thoughtful of Chihiro to think so much about Madoka's birthday. The old woman is must be Madoka's mom.

There's an entire web anime series with 30-minute episodes featuring the Uchoten Boys. Unfortunately, no one seems to have translated those yet :(

Umm..no offense, but Ryuuji looks good in shorts for his appealing legs, and Madoka is a costume designer so he has to have keen eyes for this type of things.

Cute ep! Ryuuji is such a cutie! LOL Hayato's beams is very strong!Cat theme birthday for Madoka! And that woman must be Madoka's estranged mother ( they're both afraid of dogs and they have the same colored eyes)

My masculinity is crying. Its begging me to stop, but my heart wants to keep watching this still. Also shorts are comfortable and easy to wear.

Somehow quite enjoyed this ep, the comedy, Ryuji, maybe the cats theme party too.
ED makes sense now, nice insert too. Usually no interest in male idol but this group's kinda cute.
Chihiro's becoming one with the maid.
Backgrounds/architecture still impressively detailed, Miyako's home ridiculously classy.
Grandma/mother here.

Very cheerful and touching episode in the narrative, it also reviews the grandmother, who he is, it is now certain. ^_^
pretty good script, drawings and animations more than decent. Plot and characterization, good, finally finds out who are the three that appear in the ending. Very funny episode so far is going in the right direction.

Love this show. Ryuji's "I don't want to be cute" gender issue I've only seen twice, in Lovely Complex, another series written by a woman. As a male idol appealing to women, Ryuji's in the role of being childlike and cute, but I've yet to meet a guy who actually likes being seen as "cute". I think he should have taken this up with his manager instead (and let's pretend he did!) since Madoka is still limited by the requirements of his client, the idol agency. Of course, the reality of boy bands is that they don't last long, anyway. He may not have to wear shorts on stage much longer, since he'll be off it soon enough!
