Nagi needs to calm the hell down, not that I blame him for his sudden life change. It seems Erika treats Nagi still in her way and they had some fun spraying water to each other.

Hiro is back and looks like Nagi didn't forget about their previous encounter. She's a very competiive person from the way she expressed herself so Nagi's got some competition.

Didn’t even colour me surprised just how easy going these parents are, leaving their kids all alone in a damn big house to do all sorts of things, but I bet that father won’t be glad to see them doing nothing but posting some candids on Insta. Dude has a skill for photography though ngl.

Of course, as if that was an invitation for a confession from Hiro, I never had any second thoughts.

They just started living together and Nagi's already having the time of his life. He got lucky quite a few times already. His reaction to the lizard was hilarious thou.

Nagi x Erika moments were sweet. Erika looked cute cosplaying. Also lol at Nagi for thinking Hiro was gonna confess to him.

Nagi x erika moments were awesome. This episode went just as you’d expect for a teenage boy and girl being left alone for two weeks

Horny teenaged boy walks in on hot girl in shower trope: ✅

Fanservice moment with girl falling and somehow landing in a compromising position on MC: ✅

MC getting top score in class ✅

Loving this show. Can’t wait for next week!

I don't understand why people hated this episode...there was literally nothing to hate. You're watching a harem anime, what were y'all expecting, a storyline that rivals Berserk? Bruh.

Nagi and Erika's life together in one of Erika's dad's (or Nagi's real dad's) huge rental mansion for 2 weeks, this is gonna be debauchery for Nagi to be forced in this proposition to marry Erika. But no worries, with this situation, Nagi can focus a lot on his exams that way.

The morning where Nagi has to shield Erika in her bathing stance from a lizard, looks like the more worrisome person is Nagi himself. And his problems don't end there: the pile of studying material sent to the mansio which Erika labelled as garbage, is treasure to Nagi, and helping with her social media influence is the only way he can earn it back while not trampling on her path. Some slick water animation there, and while Erika's social media grows a little, Nagi's weekend is burnt off just like that.

It's back to school, and as bad as the rumors spread about Nagi throughout, he has only one goal: defeat the school (idol) sun Hino Segawa in exams and ask her out...except that she actually did. Because he finally beat her in the post-break test due to her own circumstances, this is her declaration of war that this will not happen again. The "jack of all trades, master of all" vs. the poor MC, what a standout.

Eriko dressing up as a nurse to play pretend doctor, because Nagi clearly is falling sick and not in the best shape to study at all. But just as Eriko is hooked with social media, Nagi is hooked on being the best, and you've really gotta give it to Nagi.

The time has come: Nagi vs. Hiro in the tests, and who'll come out on top?

Damm thats a huge house for just the two of them. Seems Nagi's actual dad is one that prefers things to follow a set route only. Guess Nagi's weakness are pests then. Erika though really is photogenic. The two of them messing around with the hoses sure was a fun bonding moment. Never expected Hiro to be the one that will be the direct type though. But the greater shock was her failing to get number one this time. But that really set the stage for her war declaration. Thats some competitive spirit she has there. In the end Nagi's stubbornness really backfired on him. Overall a solid ep that while providing some nice bonding moments between Nagi and Erika also did well to expand upon Hiro as well. From the looks of it Hiro's household situation looks a bit complicated.

So Nagi and Erika are living together for two weeks and both of their parents are okay with. Well, everyone except for Sachi. Nagi takes this time to study for his exams, but he ended up helping Erika with her selfies. Despite all that Nagi was determined to get first place in the exams so that he can confess his love to Hiro, but it turns out that Hiro placed first in the mock exam which led to Hiro to declare that she will be the one to get first place on exams next time. Nagi neglected his health which caused him to get sick so Erika had to take care of him.

Will that work out? (I already know since I read the manga xD).

Segawa basically: "You want me? You're gonna have to be BETTER than me!" Also this school rooftop is certainly nicer than the plain empty ones we typically get


Also someone call the doctor because I think I'm down bad for DOCTOR ERIKA


All this sh*t is so dumb. But I love it.

It was a great episode. This is more enjoyable than I thought it would. I thought Hiro was the shy type who stutters a lot, but it turns out she hates losing.

That towel scene is just mmmmmmmm.

Alright, Nagi and Erika surely had a fun together on a same roof like that, but still denial that they both actually had a fun, especially to Nagi. Back to school, Nagi and Hiro rivalries continued. Even if Nagi manage to get one step closer to his objective to confess, Hiro still denied that because of her competitiveness forced her to act tough like that. Curious to see more depth into her characterization. Poor Nagi, tho, he get sick later. But then again there's cute Erika trying to make him feels better. Oh yeah Erika on a doctor outfit, sucks to be Nagi rejecting her kindness at first but then realized its a bad choice....

Story direction change into two part, from Erika first and then Hiro on next. Hope there's more focused episode on Hiro, and then Sachi. So yeah lets see how its goes next episode....

I love how they hit all the expected beats...walking into Erika while she's naked, candid shots of her legs and butt, her running out in revealing clothing, and even some sexy doctor cosplay for good measure.

Plus we get some nice relationship development between the two of them.

I couldn't agree more. They know where to utilize stunning visuals to give emphasis. It'd be fantastic if they get consistent all throughout.

Didn't expect this anime would be this good. It's been a while since a story got me so invested.

The side characters are actually very well made. Compared to other anime it doesn't feel like the main characters are the only living beings on the Earth.

This spring season is pretty awesome.

I definitely enjoyed the Nagi and Erika moments in this one, the photographer bit was especially great, as well as the doctor one near the end lol, and I also loved the reaction to the lizard. There was also a nice bit of fanservice, can’t blame Nagi for staring like a mad man lol. But what I enjoyed the most was the Segawa stuff here, I’ve been wondering what kind of character she’d turn out to be and I already like her a lot, what seemed like a love confession ended up being a declaration of war lol, Nagi’s reaction was also great, she is indeed awesome.

And it looks like she might be in a similar boat as Nagi where she pushes herself too hard to study based on that last scene as she was leaving her house, definitely looking forward to learning more about her, also can’t un-hear Yui from Oregairu because of her VA lol, she does a fantastic job.

I can answer that question for you, Nagi and Erika end up with each other. You don't need to watch 24 episodes to figure that one out.

All the effort that Nagi puts into studying and being the first, is the only thing he has had and not only for seeking to confess to that girl, makes him prove his worth, so let's see how it will be in the exams.

Found out about this show via video clips on YouTube and was intrigued and now I'm enjoying it and watched the 3 episodes over the weekend. I'm a fan of romcoms and I understand that this is a harem anime.

It looks like this is about Nagi and three girls that may end up liking him? Not sure if Sachi has more feelings for Nagi besides as a brother/sister relationship but I'm guessing since they are not actually blood related that she may go after him? Hiro seems to be more interested in beating Nagi via exams than getting together with him. I do like the character growth between Erika and Nagi though, and so far I think that's the relationship that will win out. Regardless, looking forward to the next episode!

Call a taxi with which money? Have you forgotten how his fam is?

Not to mention that he was just walking Erika home, he didn't even have a charger with him and I doubt he had money too.
