----------------------------------------
Storm today.

Juuni game?!

Main guy wears headphone... it turns out he is afraid of thunder, huh. Because the thunder makes that game files get reset

His head got hit because he heard thunder while picking up pen. Main girl worries about him even though she is afraid of thunder, too.

Reminding thunder day when they were young.

Because of that, main girl stays late.

CM for today (cute for first time) (No CM next week, though)

Main guy trying on piercing, because he saw a guy wearing them.

Trying to make some face but failed.

Senpai lady being so close to main guy that senpai guy is jealous. Main guy asked if she would be jealous and she doesn't believe that he will flirt.

lol @ senpai pair arguing as always. Main guy curious about what senpai pair interact privately. They ended up making wweekend plan for watching anime.

Wow, KajiKaji's character do wear glasses!

Main girl is so scary when KajiKaji's character describes that he cannot wear contact today.

Both of them are curious about the real date, so they are going next. lol @ "To be continued...?"

25:10 next.

Aren't Hirotaka and Narumi as kids adorable? And Nifuji is in love with here since so long ago! Agh, my heart... too much cuteness... can't... stand it...
And that scene in the middle of the episode... I didn't even dream about seeing this in anime!
Also, Nao is as adorable as always! But where's Kou? Are they going to introduce this character already? There are not that many episodes left.
Anyway, seems like next episode is going to be about Narumi and Hirotaka's date. I can't wait!

Lovely flashbacks and interesting romance development if you ask me! Quite like what he did in that ending! Looking forward for that date to be honest!

This time it was all about Hirotaka's insecurities and doubts. The poor guy is suffering, his relationship with Narumi is nice and the feelings are there, but something is lacking so he's trying to grasp it, we might have some emotional pay-off coming!

Also my reaction was pretty close to Narumi's when she heard Nao-chan cried. lol And Kabakura staying in to catch up to his animes was pretty relatable. Oh, and losing your save data is the worst!

Hirotaka being scared of thunder reminds me of Haruhi from Ouran High School Host Club and when she got scared whenever she heard thunder.

He pierced his ear because Narumi was going out with a guy with ear piercings. He should pierce his dick then fuck her and she’ll fall in love with him. She loves bad boys after all.

Kabakura isn’t my favorite but I can relate, I enjoy staying at home on weekends catching up on Anime series, regular TV series, documentaries, both Anime and non-Anime movies, etc. and just sleeping. I would often pretend I’m busy and refuse to go out with friends unless it’s to some really nice event or a restaurant we’ve never dined at before.

It’s funny how Koyanagi slaps Kabakura but no one in the offices says anything. If that happened in our office, the manager would have a word with the people involved.

I really like the scene of Hirotaka piercing his ear and him being afraid of thunderstorms. It shows vulnerability that he normally doesn't express.

Awwwhhhhh, Nifuji always warms up my heart ~<3 if only Naru-chan knew how much and how long he's been in love with her TT^TT

He's a treasure, honestly.

Can't believe he pierced his ear for her omggggggg ;A; bby <33333333

Narumi needs to try harder for him lol ^^"

Nao-chan looks great in glasses, aahhhhh! *O*
We must protect him at all costs.

lmao Nifuji is afraid of thunder because his game gets shut off because of it. It's funny because that is something that is likely to happen to people who play video games frequently such as otaku. Do you get it?

So that's why he pierced his ears... That's both sad and adorable.
That said, good, now we can get some proper development between them. To be fair they usually looked more like friends than an actual couple.

Hirotaka and Narumi are both afraid of thunder. They remind me of Haruhi from Ouran High School Host Club!

The flashbacks are fascinating to watch.

Lol @ Tarō and Hanaka fighting.

Hirotaka and Narumi's real date is just getting started. I hope there will be a romantic development between them. ~❤️

Nice to have a serious episode and to develop Hirotaka.

Finally, the show is focusing on their relationship. Narumi hasn't shown affection towards Hirotaka (especially how she says he's a nerdy friend she won't date). Hopefully, it is covered on the next episode on their date.

Also, I have a feeling that on their date, they will come across Narumi's ex.

Kabakura x Koyanagi romantic moments really are too adorable. I'm glad the hopeless otakus Hirotaka and Narumi realised that so far they act more like buddies than an actual couple.

Who knew a guy like Hirotaka would be scared of thunder? But it turns out, everyone is afraid of something, and he is no exception.
Probably the next episode will have some advance in the relationship of the main couple, since it will be a date.

What a cute episode ^^

It was quite sad seeing Hirotaka back in middle/high school seeing Narumi having fun with some other guy that's obviously not even his type. Somehow, I really felt that scene. The feeling of being hurt seeing the girl you like date someone so different from you that makes you question whether you'd ever have a chance.

But the ending got pretty cute, hopefully they have an awesome date next episode ^^

I guess this episode's theme was focused on Hirotaka's insecurities and fears. The fear part was pretty straight forward but then it goes back to the moment he had with Narumi when they were kids. Then we go straight into some hard insecurities he had when he was a teen(ish). Let's you know he's had these feelings for Narumi for a while trying to be like one of the guys she's dated. That's so sweet and stuff especially from a guy who is the cool stoic type.

except for sympathy about needing to turn off computers and videogames when the weather is stormy, and those two seconds (at best) showing half of the cast clearly playing Taiko No Tatsujin, i felt nothing out of this episode, and at this point, i had enough. Seriously, i'll save an hour and more of lifetime by sparing me the final episodes and the OVAs, i wanted to like this series, but it's harder and harder to not consider it the big bang theory of anime (and it's not a compliment, f... that show). Too few people in the cast and all dull for their own reasons, their relationships seem unrealistic / put up with band-aids, and especially that drunkard not-even-that-attractive koyanagi is possibly the second most annoying character i've seen in recent years surpassed only by ren yamai. Glad to stay forever alone rather that forced to deal with someone like her, let alone dating or worse.

The first line is a nod for danshi koko right! RIGHT! And the fact that sugi-bro is kabakura is just conforming it.
Hirotaka afraid of thunder is out of character but is refreshing. Also his reasoning is understandable, R.I.P my sonicsave file.
