Lol, it's not a surprise that Erika has fans outside of their circle of friends.

Episode had comical drama but also amusing for how it protrayed a study session in this show's fashion. Also, possible feelings of Erika growing towards Nagi? Hmm..

A study camp between Nagi, the Amano sisters and Hiro in Erika's private mansion in Karuizawa...and Asoma Shion, whom caught wind of the activity. Too bad that Sachi wasn't feeling so well, so she's out.

2 boys with 2 girls, the idiotic Asoma being a Erika stan and Nagi...clearly for Hiro. And the first order of business is to get groceries, which he wants his alone time with Erika to help out a friend. Both Hiro and Nagi spending time outside, and there's more to Hiro than just studying, despite not having a lot of friends.

The same goes with Asoma and Erika, and the least that the latter would be expecting is a direct confession, but there's another pressing matter requiring the help of Hiro: to get her lingerie because she didn't bring. NANI??? Except that his confession...is just a simple gesture of thanks, out of his clumsiness.

The night test of courage to break off studying, and this gives a chance for Nagi to impress Hiro...though Erika has to interfere requesting Nagi, leaving both Asoma and Hiro to their own devices to help each other out to get their ideal partners.

I'm betting that Erika can only depend on Nagi buying underwear for her since this is a very private matter.

The subs this episode were LIT, YO. Let 'em RIP, CAP and be POGGERS. NANI???

Study camp huh that sounds fun. But with finals and entrance exams soon a good opportunity. Shion sure managed to sneak in quite easily. Still its impressive that Erika has second homes such as this. Pretty fun ep that felt like a calm before the storm of confessions hit. Shame Sachi couldn't make it but looks like things would get interesting next week.

Erika is definitely going to tell Nagi something stupid...seems like plot device for Hiro to drive Erika away from Nagi though.
Ah yes the first steps for me to start disliking Hiro.

We'll see what happens though.

Great episode! Of course, Erika has a holiday house...
Asoma, Segawa, Erika and Nagi all go there to do a study camp. Sachi caught a cold so unfortunately couldn't come.
Asoma is not exactly looking to study instead of going after Erika though xD.
She says they should go shopping first to get the 'full training camp vibe' and Asoma volunteers to go with Erika instantly. That just leaves Segawa and Nagi at the house alone.
They go outside and look at the fish where she suggests they should go fishing tomorrow forgetting about the reason they came there lol.
Meanwhile, Asoma says he has something to tell Erika...
When they arrive back, he tells Nagi he confessed to her!
Her response was...NOTHING AS HE DIDN'T EVEN CONFESS!
Seems he was too scared to. Nagi was shocked he felt relieved at that.
He told Asoma about his confession to Segawa and the terms of it and he couldn't seem to comprehend it xD.
Asoma tells everyone of a shrine in the woods and they all go on a test of courage in teams of two. (Of course, he is going with Erika and leaving Segawa to Nagi).
BUT ERIKA SAYS SHE WANTS TO GO WITH NAGI INSTEAD!
Mission failed...
She wants to talk to Nagi about something.
And Segawa knows Asoma wants to confess to Erika so says she will help him...



Looking forward to the next episode!

Ok, look, idk who’s running subs for kakkou on Crunchyroll but adding “Stan” “poggers” “bet” and whatever else you see on Anitwt doesn’t make the translation sound natural or flow better. It’s cringe as hell.

That aside, episode itself was really good as usual. Hiro was gorgeous

Loving the new dude already

Erika not even knowing how to pack her own underwear is pretty crazy lol, gonna be a long trip.

So hiro wants to help new dude confess to Erika to get her out of the way so she can be with Nagi. Lol, love her so much omg. Funny episode but next week should be even better

Cool episode, Hiro is going with everything and wants to help blondie to confess to Erika...hoping she accepts him and having Nagi-kun for her?
Final cliffhanger...I really doubt Erika wants to tell him something important, maybe she is just jealous of Nagi expending all the time with Hiro?

And poor Sachi, she really wanted to go "camping"!

Who tf invited Shion? I bet he would be so popular on tiktok considering the lingo he uses lmaooo This anime is too up-to-date on the lingo, watching it was pretty cringy.

Considering how obsessed Nagi is with hiro, will he ever make a move?? Nagi said what and the translation was nani lmaooo. It's kind of fucked up of Hiro wanting to help Shion confess to Erika considering she knows that she's engaged with Nagi. I know I contradicted myself by saying that Nagi needs to make a move on Hiro, but I mean she can't possibly prevent Nagi and Erika from dating/ getting married, right?

Other than the weird translations this episode was enjoyable because Sachi didn't get a lot of screen time. Imagine how terrible this episode could've been if she went rip

He has appeared a few times I think. He even also mentioned it himself during this episode because Nagi didn't remember him. They all went on a school field trip together.

I already forgot who this guy is and when he first appeared but I do appreciate him trying to persuade Segawa.

Now Segawa may say that it's a secret why she wants to help him but it's crystal clear to me that she wants Erika to be occupied so that the competition for Nagi is reduced. Could be wrong though.

On the other hand, the subtitler for this episode was an absolute chad.

She knows they're engaged, but she also knows that they don't want to be engaged. So basically, she's hoping that by helping Shion, Erika might look towards him instead of falling for Nagi herself. It's not like she's trying to split up an established couple or anything, she knows they aren't really together.

Nani?!?!

This episode had me dying laughing as usual, Shion was a really annoying character to me when we first met him- but I think I'm coming around to him a little bit. The way they sub his lingo is actually hilarious~
Somehow Erika forgot to pack like, basic necessities for this trip? Which tbh is kind of in line for her, but omg girl, underwear?? Really?

I did love Shion and Erika shopping- "we'll just throw in whatever and Nagi will make us something"- so I hope they picked up something other than all of that ramen and snacks lmao. The 'night of courage' was a neat way to end the episode, and I wonder what on earth Erika has to talk with Nagi about... I guess we'll see.

I actually felt kind of bad for Sachi when she had to stay home, she was so excited about the trip! But I also like the dynamic we have between our study group members, too. Shion trying to help out Nagi with Erika was also kind of sweet :3 Next episode will be interesting with a potential proper confession in the works~




I'm okay now... At least... I want to be able to say that.

Whoever was working on the subs this week really used that modern internet lingo huh?

Anyways, I think the second half of this show has been half decent at least, it seems Hiro has her own goals, and whatever Erika wanted to talk with Nagi about, it’s probably gonna be something dumb, but we’ll see.

Interesting episode, it's a shame that Sachi caught a cold and could not go camping. Not sure why they had to have 4 people, like why couldn't it just have been 3 of them?

Anyways, I think that Erika knew that Shion was hitting on her and didn't like it, at least that's why I think she grabbed onto Nagi towards the end, to just get away from Shion (it could also be because she noticed Nagi and Hiro have had alone time throughout the day). Hiro finally seems to be making some moves of her own by offering to help Shion with Erika, but she tells him that she won't let anyone get 1st place which Shion probably thinks that Nagi won't ever be able go out with her then, so I wouldn't blame Shion if he's confused lol. Curious what Erika does tell Nagi in the next episode.

Shion is back! Yes!! Haha. Poor Sacchi, but I guess that’s a great opportunity for Shion lol. I really forget just how loaded Erika is. She’s got like a million vacation homes!

Shion is a dummy but I love his crackhead energy lol. Plus he’s a great wingman! He gave Nagi some alone time with Hiro in the woods. Also, the way he swooped in to grab the falling snacks, very smooth. This guy knows what he’s doing lol.

Wasn’t expecting some Hiro fan service, but I ain’t mad at it. I love how the only thing Nagi has on his mind is “bath” lol. The “what/nani?” part was pretty funny. Shion though, my guy… that was no confession! lol. I’m gonna have to make a gif of crying Shion haha.

But man, how does someone forget to pack underwear or PJs? Erika is too spoiled lol. I wonder what she has to say to Nagi. Their relationship is kind of hard to read. He clearly feels some kinda way about her, but how does she feel about him? Sometimes I think she likes him but she’s always so casual with him, it’s hard to tell.

Hiro’s making moves. Her helping Shion should be interesting. We’ll have to see how that works out, or if it’ll work out in her favor. Maybe it’ll just make Nagi realize he likes Erika too?

Also, i hate how they left us hanging with what erika is abt to say or ask to Nagi becaue before that scene we thought that erika gonna tell hiro abt shion's confession but turns out, it was abt pantsu. Oh well, what else could she want to talk abt?

Also, also, Hiro was dik to Shion. Its was as if, dont talk to me pls with the way she answered his question. Like, she couldve said very simple ' well, i have my own reason' rather than give him a one liner lol

For the weird slangs in the sub, Shion is slangy in Japanese as well, so it's not like he's out of his character in the sub. It's just that the translator put those slangs in places where the guy didn't use slangs in Japanese. It's just a bit overdone and the choices of English slangs being used are garbage.

Tf this episode felt like 5 minutes. Just when things started getting interesting, the episode ended bruh. And with the same line as last episode, "it's a secret", in last episode it was Sachi with that line and this time Hiro.

As much as I don't like Sachi, I felt bad when she couldn't go to study camp. But boy imagine what a clusterfuck of a situation that would have been. Three women who all kind of like Nagi together at one spot. That would have been a hot mess. We got that dude instead, I didn't like him earlier but after this episode I kinda do, however annoying he may be, dude stuck up for Nagi trying to convince Hiro and stuff, gotta respect that.

But honestly man, all these girls are giving out so mixed signals I feel bad for Nagi. In this episode there's Hiro with her, "Because I knew you would be here". What's up with that line, she can't get together with Nagi so why is she leading him on and making him think there's a chance?

Nagi repeatedly writing "bath" got me good, who does that lmao?

Nagi smelling fresh outta bath Hiro to his heart's content was funny to watch as well.

Well at last there was Hiro and her "himitsu", we all know the himitsu is that she wants Erica to get together with the dude so she can get together with Nagi even though it's not possible in reality. Hiro right now thinks Erica as a rival in love and it's really annoying given how Hiro is engaged to someone and Nagi and Erica are engaged. Hiro has no right to do all this unless she finds a way to break off her marriage. Even then she's like I won't let Nagi #1 on exams. Like what the fuck does this woman want?

The dude's ship with Erica is of course not going to sail, F for that in advance dude.

Erica kinda looked flushed when she dragged Nagi with her for the test of courage, I wonder what she wants to talk about. Hopefully not about how she forgot to bring extra underwear so she's not wearing any and if Nagi would like a peek.

I knew there would be no studying happening on that study camp lol, but that definitely made it awesome. I especially loved the bit with Segawa and Nagi at the lake, I think that moment is also one of the manga covers and I loved seeing it here, we gotta protect that smile lol. And at the same time Shion is making moves on Erika but fails miserably, but I think we all know what Erika would say.

And Erika did an oopsy, she forgot to bring extra pairs of underwear, so has she been going commando since the bath or did she borrow Segawa’s? The world may never know, but I also would love to be that rubber ducky in the bath with them lol, the eyes definitely made me think that. And now we’re in for a test of courage type situation but Erika has stolen Nagi away and wants to tell him something, very nice cliffhanger.

And lmao at the scene where the subs replaced “what” with “nani” since Nagi said what in English lol. And speaking of the subs, I see folks here upset or cringing at the English lingo used like “poggers” and “stan” but I personally found it funny and it does fit Shion’s character, I used to find stuff like that cringe but I just think it’s goofy now.

Episode adapted chapters 38 and 39 of the manga... that scene of Hiro at the lake was perfect (one of my favorites).
