----------------------------------------
Not going to lie, I think the guys looked nice in their butler outfits. Yes, even Iori who usually acts like a goofball.

Lol, I loved how the guys tried to troll one of their friends too. The over the top humor is amusing as hell. That fake voice acting! Surprised they adapted one of the side chapters.

That nosebleed at the end was gold.

Looks like Iori and Kouhei are pretty motivated for the trip to Okinawa. A mover and a bar tender huh the naked duo's jobs sure are surprising. Their idea of the screwdriver cocktail though lol. Iori's answers sure created the wrong type of image of him in the masters eyes. Jealousy can be quite the powerful motivation it seems even for guys. Of everything they tried the mixed voice sure was the most effective. Their friend though got what he deserved from that girl though.

The brilliant thing with this adaptation is that it gets better with each episode. What I thought was an OK adaptation as of episode 1 has now become a great adaptation.

Well done Zero-G

I haven't really laughed out loud during this show, but this episode was definitely the funniest for me.

Poor Mitarai, so close, but he got cockblocked.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Hilarious episode as always. XD

Iori and Kouhei trying to be bartenders was hilarious, especially the way they kept giving Cakey the 'Screw Driver'. XDD
I also love how they acted out Cakey's imagination and completely destroyed it. XD

Poor Mitarai, he got wrecked by everyone. You have good friends man. XD

Iori & Kouhei were rocking those butler outfits! But Kotobuki still looked better in it. That screwdriver scene was so hillarious eventho it was obvious what was going to happen, it made me laugh quite a bit!

That second half of the episode was oddly good. It was hillarious, however I feel bad for Mitarai, that childhood friend was cute!

That next week preview though ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

The comedy in this series is amazing, except when it's about the virgin squad. This type of joke is quite overdone in many other series. It is a shame since most of the other comedies are pretty refreshing.

Those guys know how to ruin a guy's love life and I love it. But Mitarai made it worse by asking the girl to introduce him to her friends, what a scum.

This is the only show where I genuinely laugh until my stomach hurts, I look forward to every scene. Kohei and Kitahara are the best duo ever in anime. I can see this show going into my favorite after this season and I will read the manga

The cocktail scene had me pause and laugh like a goblin. I knew what would happen when they said screwdriver, but it was still hilarious.

The only thing I don't really like in this anime is the group of bad friends. Why stay with a bunch of people who don't care about you at all?

Like Kohei said, someone who abandon his friends to have sex with a girl is forgivable, but not when she is a childhood friend who call you Onii-chan.

The second part was boring. The virgin squad became repetitive. I don't want to see them together again. I like the first part much more.

Iori and Imamura shouldn't be looking down on Kotobuki, he's a better man than the two of them will ever be. Imamura is my fave for being a dumbass otaku but honestly, he shouldn't be imaging the worst of his senpai when Kotobuki when he's a degenerate otaku himself. Iori is trash compared to Kotobuki. Two virgin losers compared to the almighty Kotobuki and his muscles. I'm sure Kotobuki has been with many girls but doesn't broadcast it like some douchebag. I'm sure Iori and Imamura would.

Still, despite the two male leads being idiots as usual, their stupidity is the reason why the first half of the episode is my favorite. Imamura imaging the cherry blossom drink and Iori spilling a romantic drink in Imamura's eyes.

Best part was the master's misunderstanding regarding Iori and Imamura's relationship:



In the second half, Imamura cemented his legacy as best boy, girl, osanajimi, lolicon, etc. His mix tape was epic, I don't even feel sorry for Mitarai. I don't feel sorry for anyone in their virgin group, they all deserve to boil in jealousy for being a bunch of idiots.
