Damn, Hiyori is pushing herself to the limits even in an athletic competition. I like her overall determination but sometimes, not everything can go the way she wants. Let this be an episode to know that everyone has their limits.

Yuujirou and Aizou also put up quite a show again with their performance and managed to cheer Hiyori up.

So, Prince charming and Sasuke were slaving away our potato heroine to the point that her hurt leg was the reason for her to fail at the track, so they sing her a song and smile at her and all is well, all the pain is gone, truly a magic of idol industry, isnt it ...

Tho Hiyori definitely is not without the blame herself, trying too much can backfire on you, as we saw.

F...... her ankle. That was the result when she forced herself too much. It was beyond her limitation. She got a very high determination, but, sometimes you can't do everything at once, which are being an idol manager together with a competitive athlete for her.

Welp, Hiyori's last episode stint to get LIP×LIP's small concert going smoothly, cost her ankle greatly on her dream to be an track-and-field athlete. Hiyori's definitely pushing herself way too hard to bear her own burdens, much less juggling as both an idol manager and an athlete.

But in front of Yujiro and Aizo, Hiyori's testing her own patience that she cannot hide from both guys. And since after the Julietto concert that ends her contract as LIP×LIP's manager-in-training, both guys add extra fervor to give it their all to perform at their very best.

The best part: to get Hiyori a VIP seat at the encore call for her very first experience in a concert hall and for the guys sing a song that's heard many times, it's a stiletto feeling to draw all of her life's experience in one song.

It ain't how "Heroines Run the Show" if Hiyoko stops here, and she is ready to prove that she can take both being an athlete and a manager on high regard. At least she has a better understanding of idols now, and having her first impressions be so much better than before.

I'm really wondering on this Nagisa character to add to Hiyori's life, who is he to her?

I’m glad the boys are finally aware of and appreciative of the shit that hiyori goes thru for them. They’re still ice cold tsunderes so they won’t admit it, but that really did move them to know how much she supports them. Congrats on the new contract, Hiyori!

With that speed Hina can easily make it through the prelims. Shame about Hiyori though. If she hadn't had that injury she probably would have been able to qualify for the nationals. The head honcho telling them of Hiyori's injury was a nice move on her part. The encore present for Hiyori though really was thoughtful of them. In the end im glad that Hiyori agreed to stay on as their manager. Just as she can learn much from their performances the two can also learn a lot from her about humility.

Hiyori did have a slump after she failed and was sad, although she kept working hard, it was a good gesture of the guys to sing to cheer her up and she will continue with everything, helping as a manager and running, another guy is coming.

This episode sold so much about Hyori dream, that I want the music part to tone down and let her run to her dreams.

Hyori didnt needed to apologize to the duo, knowing both personalities is hard to have a good opinion about idols, as first impression.

A new rival character, when there's not really much going?

Not that Hiyori need producing, she is beautiful like her mother.

After all the hard work Hiyori done, I think she deserve more than just a one song for her. She's basically lost inter-high qualification, and inter-high is a do-or-die target of sports anime.
From the fangirl point of view, it's actually better to switch manager too. Having a female manager staying very close to idols for too long is a bad impression. Idol has to stay single, cutoff all heteromantic relationship.

Damn, she lost in the prelims. A consequence of overworking. So I question what exactly has changed by the end of the episode? Will they reduce the burden on her?

I mean yes? That pretty much all idols do, cheer you on through music. They're not to blame, she took the job, worked, and injured herself. She's the one that's compromising her dreams, they reminded her that she has to focus on her own dreams and goals, not others.

On no! Hiyoko as expected got a bad result after forcing herself too much with the manager job. Feelsbadman, especially since she's getting a mentally down...

But anyway, on the other side, boys realized their girl problem. So expected them to cheers her through music with that full performance sequence, then yes its indeed having a better impact for Hiyorin. Aw her precious smile!

I kind of think, Hiyoko need to step down from the manager position for real and just focus on his track dream, because its truly worry me. But oh well, since she's already decided that, hopefully she's not pushing herself too much next, on the second run...

Then whats up with that dude which kind of giving me a childhood friend vibe on him, suddenly wanna barges in? Hiyori on production, sounds like an interesting title for the next. Lets see...

It was foreseeable that Hiyori's physical effort last episode would cost her mlre than just a few drops of sweat.

Welp....The sweet performance made up for it. Happy endings in fiction come easily xD

Sticking around to see how this show would turn out paid off with this episode! What a way give Hiyori some more character development. And the ‘send off’ track at the end was the right touch to accentuate the mood of the episode. I wonder where they’ll go from here…

I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy their idol performance that much lol, what we saw of it was really good, and if there was CGI I didn’t notice it, song was good too as well as the moment, Hiyori’s reaction to the performance was great, definitely the best part of the episode. It’s a shame she couldn’t get past the prelims thanks to her foot, but at least there is next time and she’s keeping her manager job to stick with Aizou and Yuujirou.

I also thought the bit where she handed them the umbrella instead of a towel was hilarious lol, Aizou and Yuujirou’s reactions were great. And it looks like a new character is coming next episode, I wonder how he’ll shake things up with Hiyori.

To be fair no one asked her to get the medals, she chose to, and no one asked her to run back like that, it was a choice she made herself. So they honestly didn't owe her anything and I think it was a nice show of gratitude in the end.

I do not like idol music but I think the show is really good in showing just what people like about idol groups. It seems it grasps Hiyori. Also really liked the concert scenes with the boys dancing. I thought it was done pretty well.

Contrary to what some people are saying... Hiyori is not "overworked".

Actually, they are treating her pretty well. One night she stayed a little later than usual and they asked her why she didn't go home. Also, they're paying her during school hours. Did you even see her, one time, saying she was "overworked" ? Complaining she's doing too much stuff for them ?

No.

She's the one who decided to live alone, study, run and having a part-time job.
She's the one who decided to run, tripped, and hide her injury.
She's the only one to blame. Actually, did she ever blame someone else ? No. Did she ask to reduce her hour ? No.

She's taking responsibility for her actions.
If anything, her mistake was to keep hiding her injury instead of going to see a doctor. Probably because she was afraid he would forbid her to run in the competition.

I'm sad for Hiyori she failed her athlete competition because she injured her ankle, but with how the idol concert turned out and how the boys sang that motivation song for her (that was so cute) she's continuing both the idol management and running, that's good, now I just hope that she'll succeed. That Nagisa guy is interesting I'm assuming it's her little brother?
