Yikes, it's scary that photos can cause such a big scandal especially with Hiyori involved. Even the guys were worried about how this translated into some major drama.

I feel really bad for Hiyori but seeing that she keeps up a good spirit is admiring.

Eh .. i was expecting them to reveal the BIG secret this week, i guess they keep it for the finale. Anyway, Yuujirou's brother is in for a promising future as a secret detective ... or a murderer.

Also, they shouldve just shave their heads and that would fix all the controversy, isnt that what idols do in Japan anyway ? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The one who secretly photographed should not call themself a fanclub. Their behavior is something 'fanclub' should not do at all cost. And, secretly photographing is a crime.

Hiyori just got more gaslighted by the mass media from the scathing photos, and while Aizo is fine, it's Yujiro that has this hard because of his family circumstances. It's checking each other that keeps the 3 of them sane.

Thankfully schools do what they're mustered to do: protect the livelihood of its students, and ensure that whatever stays in school, even the most baseless of rumours must not get out of there alive. For both Yujiro and Aizo as LIP×LIP, their image is just as important, and one slip of the attention would bring their image down more. To Hiyori, her thought process is quite different, but she wouldn't trade it for fans trying to bring her down, so the only way is to quit the manager-in-training job.

Aizo, as much as he instills hate on his brother, is still pretty much his support. The same goes for Yujiro and his somewhat close brother, and Hiyori is taken out of the limelight to alleviate LIP×LIP's image and bring it back to its current glory, plus the excitement of youth.

Hiyori may have been happy to give up her high-paying job and get back to track, but what is telling in her heart can be another thing.

I’m relieved that the scandal has been dealt with but it’s unfortunate that Hiyori still has to quit being a trainee manager. That ED sung by the Narumi sisters was a nice surprise!

I’m starting to think that Chizuru might be the culprit. I hope I’m wrong though.

Chizuru asking hiyori if she was dating the boys really kinda annoyed me because that’s supposed to be your best friend, why would you even doubt her in that situation? Just shows how quick even your “friends” can switch up or doubt you.

I’m glad the boys were able to navigate the situation, but it never should’ve been a situation in the first place. You can hang out with whoever the hell you want to hang out with. The obsessed idol culture is so toxic and needs to end.

You can really tell how sad Hiyori was about having to leave that job. Damn shame she essentially got bullied out.

I believe that Yuujiro saved his brother from more than just a drink.

This scandal even though its nothing serious really is blowing up all over. Someya though had the toughest consequence though. Its thankful that his father is that understanding. At the same time the schools desire to help was welcome as well. Its unfortunate that due to the nature of the job that Hiyori can't tell even her closest friends. It was nice to see Someya and his bro reforge their bonds that had become distance in recent times. The press conference as well as the honest feelings that the two replied the reporters with was an excellent way to defuse the situation. But its such a shame that Hiyori had to leave her position though. Love the new ending theme by Tenchan and Shiina who portrayed Sena and Mona respectively.

It's definitely the black-haired friend that posted the photos- her description fits the bill, but I know that Hiyori will forgive her in the end; though, I really wish she didn't or at the least takes some space from her.

Poor Hiyori having to leave a job she really liked because of some bs/Chizuru's jealousy. It's so sad how entitled fans feel to idols/celebrities.

Yeah I don’t really agree with Hiyori here but I get why she doesn’t wanna seek out the perpetrator, but I do think she’ll definitely come back to being a manger thanks to Yuujirou and Aizou. Also Yuujirou’s family was cool to see, his dad was surprisingly chill and he has a nice relationship with his brother.

And wow that ED was nice, makes me wish I was invested in the HoneyWorks verse but I still really liked it. And it looks like next week we might find out who the culprit behind the photos is (maybe) lol.

Someone who takes private photos of an idols normal life is not a fan, they're a stalker, who's committed a criminal offense. That crap is uncool, these young idols just want they're personal life separated from their professional life. Nothing wrong with that, and I'm glad they pleaded with the public to leave them alone.

Not really a fan of the drama this episode, she's going to come back and be their trainee manager. Let's be real, girl needs money for her family and her dream.

dude hiyori is crazy, this is the time to suspect a fan! there stalking and happy to destroy the people they like careers. Also what if that fan next time is holding a knife instead of a camera.

also giving into the mob is just gay, it's like SJW going crazy on Twitter and giving in.

The protag (and by extension the show) making excuses for obsessive, toxic fan behavior is an interesting example of how Japanese culture is different from American. Specifically, the idea that the manager (in training) should resign because otherwise fans won't be able to enjoy their unhealthy parasocial relationships with fake idol personalities.

Hiyori took a very brave step and the boys decided to face everything without running away, it is good that this happened and the situation itself could disperse without any problem.

The photographer had to be Chizuru, especially after they made it a point to show that her phone is the same one that took the picture of the high fives. It really be your own people smh

The one who took the photos gotta be Chizuru, it's too obvious.

That ED with the Narumi sisters is nice, I hope they get their own anime too. They're one of my favourite characters in the HoneyWorks verse next to the OG characters (first gen).

I am Hoping Hiyori will come back as manager, that bullish speech about her being a fan doesn't cut it. She's annoying but I love her.

so we'll never ever get to know who's that scumbag culprit? these fans go act whatever they want without thinking about consequences...then when they get caught and punished then all comes regret for what they've done damage.

We see more of Aizo's and Yuujirou's relationship with their families, that was nice. Yuujirou's convo with his brother was cute. Aizo's brother is annoyingly funny. Aizo and Yuujirou still insisting that they are not friends, please. "A monkey?" really made me laugh

I am sad that Suzumi had to quit but it's likely that she might go back when this gets resolved. Secretly taken photos should be addressed though, despite what Suzumi said. People who do that are to be banned from fanclub membership/activities - so I think Someya's brother would return the favor in this situation and push through with tracking the culprit. As a fan, it would be reassuring for sketchy people to be dealt with properly.

Well, Hiyorin was just too kind, not accepting Yuujirou ototo suggestion to expose the culprit right at those moment. She should've care more about herself, and be selfish, after all the hard working she's done. But nope. LipxLip and their fans always comes first to serve, even if its mean, its hurt her heart. But good thing that Aizo had such a wonderful brother that giving him such a nice little advice to make things more clear. Even though i kinda wish they should be more honest, and bold, calling how important Hiyorin, more than what they stated on the presscon. But oh well, lets save it for later, when their effort to get the drama out of their daily lives bore the fruit. Or at least the next will be a good time, to reveal who's culprit behind the drama. Let's see....

"ive hurt the fans" nooooo girl😭😭 dont even. dont normalize these obsessive posessive traits fans have. dating or not its none of their fucking businessss they need to wake up eventually, idols are only what you see behind the screen, nothing more. they can provide happiness and comfort but dont expect anything from them.

lipxlip handled the situation pretty well, the press conference was good and them explaining how much they like highschool life, adding a hint of pity and guilt to people by saying how they might have to stop a bit bc of this drama and clearing things out with fl without having to say that she's their manager was good

Hiyori trying to normalise stalking behavior. If this fan can take pictures then this fan can literally poison food and have the idols/her drink it if things didn't go their way. To jail they go.

With that being said, LipxLip press conference was well written I could never say that shit lmao I would have been like "Stop harassing my friends. I'm a student doing student activities plus having friends and y'all saw that as a problem?" But that diplomatic response with the massive guilt tripping undertones was too good.

A disgusting aspect of society is that public figures can't even breathe with so little privacy and not only the press is tearing their fangs into the juicy parts, even the fans to crazy.

Why did she quit... she obviously wants to stay and so does everyone else plus it really won't do anything so why quit???

Hopefully in the next 2 episodes she comes back...
