| Lol, Erika better get used to how a lower class family lives. It seems Nagi is also trying to get used to being in Erika's presence since the two are so different. Erika's household is so damn rich. I like Nagi's parents on most parts in this episode but Erika needs to be more open about her thoughts. Can't wait to see how these two will live together. |
 |
| Quite hilarious how much these two take after their original parents, even though they never lived with them to begin with. At this point it’s kinda hard to imagine how their lives would've been if they weren’t switched at birth too. Though anyways now living together for a whole two weeks... cringefest is about to start. |
 |
| These characters are frankly awful and have the ability to communicate of toddlers. Actually, wait, that's insulting to toddlers. At least they can cry and pitch a fit to express their feelings. These idiots just don't say anything at all. Dropped. |
| Can't believe I got the airing time wrong, imma watch this right now. |
 |
| The male MC spent the whole episode being flustered and acting like an idiot. I had more hope for this series after the first episode which I felt was promising. I felt the author wanted to convey how they still were essentially strangers to each other and now took the first step of getting to know each other by dropping the preconceptions. It turned out a bit too hamfisted. Now that we've got that introduction out of the way let's hope the next episode turns out more interesting. |
 |
| Hiro's just as cute as Erika so can't blame Nagi. Looks like Sachi isn't too thrilled at her brother being replaced. Kinda amusing that Erika waited outside the door all this time. Still even given the social difference sitting on a bookcase is kinda unusual in itself. The difference between their two houses really is like day and night. Erika though sure has a lot of dogs. But man Nagi's dream of Erika's fight really was one hell of a imagination. After so long its understandable that Erika finds it hard to bond with her true parents who might as well be total strangers to her. In the end im glad that Erika's fear was unfounded. Looks like the relationship between the two would be advancing by another step by living together. Overall a slow ep but one that focused on expanding upon Erika and Nagi's characters and looking at the complex feelings that lay beneath them. Would be curious to see how Sachi see's Erika. |

Yea I can tell this is gonna be my KanoKano of the season where people shit on it for being trashy but I still enjoy. Absolutely loving the humour and vibes of this show so far. Nagi’s parents are hilarious. Looking forward to meeting the other girls |
 |
| Of course, they would the up living together. Anyway, it's still pretty fun. I like Erika and I'm kinda looking forward to the living together shenanigans that are bound to happen. |

KanoKano was well-written and extremely entertaining. People that trashed KanoKano clearly were misunderstanding the purpose of the series. This series, meanwhile, is just bad writing. It's one thing to intentionally make all your characters inept (KanoKano) when you stick to it. But here, the characters already appear inept, when it's pretty clear that the author isn't intending for them to be completely helpless/stupid. |
| As expected Erika is not used to living in a regular Japanese home with little space compared to mansion she lives. Erika wanted to give Nagi's fake parents a piece of her mind, but how could she after her biological parents were so nice to her. Meanwhile Nagi was preparing to call the engagement of when Erika's fake father appeared to tell that both Erika and Nagi would be living together for two weeks Saichi doesn't seem to be happy that her biological sister is getting close to her step brother Nagi. |

| "Ringing the bell is a thing?" What a Zoomer moment. "I'm rich, losers" lol And lmao @ rebellious daughter vs delinquent imaginary scenario. This is really not bad at all. |

Well, I don't think it's trashy, I think it's narratively a mess. If you really didn't read it, you'd have just ignored (: |
| Pretty fun how this is developing. Will be interesting to see how they'll handle living together |
 |
| they will live together? |
 |
| Surprisingly, I’m still enjoying this show. Excited to see how their two week stay will play out. |
 |
| YES he was nervous to see how he would react to his family, since he doesn't accept marriage and all, it was more for him to get to know them and have fun, but what a thing in the end, living together for a couple of weeks. |
| Honestly loved this episode it was pretty kind of funny and really entertaining, I just wish we get to see more of Hiro soon. Also saw some comments about how people thought this was bad, but I don't understand why, IMO this was nice, looking forward to the 22 more episodes |
|
| Love how they poked fun at the social difference between the two. Really enjoying the humour so far. |

| Great episode! Erika was shocked seeing Umino's house xD. Hers was very extravagant lol. And I've been waiting for this part as a manga reader, we get to see them living together next episode! Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Erika is the best girl by far, i love her so much |
Violet42 said: I had such low expectations for this show that it keeps pleasantly leaping over. Is it kind of cliche? Sure, but it's got good production values, that cannot be denied, and the foundation's being laid for something interesting. it's probably going to take a few more episodes of set-up, but this has two whole cours, so it can afford to take its time. Not everyone has the patience for that, but I like the production and it seems more lived in and like the characters are actual people than, say, Shikimori. Lol, that Shikimori diss at the end |
|
this anime ED is make addicted and enjoyable  |
| Not good as the first episode but still entertaining. I find it so weird that their real parents did not consider/treat them as a real child. idk, so weird |

| Better than anime next door, even the plot kinda forced because they forced by them parents to engaged, but still cant wait to see build up the relationship hope its better version of nisekoi |
| Didn't like the first episode, probably because I was expecting something more. But now that I know what it is, it's not that bad actually. It's not quite a dumpster-fire (yet at least, it probably will become one eventually, and I will welcome it with open arms), but it's still quite a bit of fun even though it hasn't crossed that threshold. I don't find it as annoying as Nisekoi, and has a much better production quality than Domestic Girlfriend, which are the two anime I think it's most comparable to. I thought this was going to be my first drop of the season, but nope, I'm going all the way baby. |

| The freaking contrast between Nagi and Erika's houses lmfao, her inability to understand how things worked there was hilarious. "I'm rich, losers", Umino can't see himself living the way she does haha, it really makes you wonder how absurdly different life would be for both characters if the swap hadn't happened. Wholesome episode, all of his worries about Erika going crazy (I loved his imagination of things going wild between her and his former delinquent parents haha) turned out to just be that, because in reality all Erika wanted was to be close to what in pretty much any other timeline was going to be the parents who would have raised her. Seeing them happily eat together made me smile so much. And wild development at the end, I guess they are living together now! This dad is a bag of surprises. |

The only hilarious scene I found was the large amount of dogs she owned. But it's still an interesting take from your perspective. In terms of development, and bonding. |

| Urgh, Not really a fan of the character traits for two of the main characters for me personally. I kinda want more goals, and build ups. |

| well that was a fun ep and the art and animations still looks very good cant wait for next weeks ep |

| Nagi and Erika's sudden betrothal certainly throws Nagi for a loop, considering his duel against Hiro Segawa. The distinction between both the poor and rich families of each other, it's certainly telling of their upbringing i.e. when Erika got a shock that Nagi's house is just a small and cramped one, and Nagi also got a shock that his original family is THAT rich. They aren't living in the same world that fits directly with their circumstances. Erika going straight to the source (a.k.a their family diner) to attack her real parents for the mix-up, that would be a proposition that Nagi didn't want happening, much less Erika being forced to get used to the commoner's life and the hospitality of the both of them. It's just a misunderstanding that she finally got to see her real family after so long and have dinner together, that's really heartwarming to see. No surprise that Nagi's real family also knows that both Nagi and Erika's marriage isn't a solidified relationship yet, but it's growing...and it starts with their communal living together for 2 weeks. I'm rich, losers. Imagine what a contrast of a life it would be. |

ailurophile15 said: Erika is really closed with her feelings, poor girl 😥 The fake scenario of Erika and parents fight was hilarious 😂 I think it's pretty accurate lol Also, two weeks alone?! These parents aren't worried or something? 🤨 The point is to make them get closer and start to like each other so that no one refuses the marriage. |
|
| It was a fun episode. Nagi out here acting all flustered throughout the whole episode while Erika just can't seem to be honest; not the best duet but okay. Damn I was hoping we get to see more of Segawa this week but that didn't happen. The only legit good character so far is Sachi, as she handles the situation realistically. I went and read the second chapter of the manga and it seems like they are adapting 1 chapter per episode. Hope we're not going forward at snail pace. |
