Asahi's life, depending on the girls, can be a wee bit crazy...or in the case of Amelia, quite the extreme approach.

Aoi is the only one that's keeping the entire "family" together, but as for Amelia, from invading Asahi's bedroom just to get his toefoot stamp on the marriage paper to wanting to try out the tropey ketchup on Omurice, and with the Kanji test coming up that gives Karin a better name than her writing the Kanji for semen, she's an obsessed try-hard who doesn't like to lose. In the case of "Rock, paper, scissors", it's all about luck than actual "analysis", and losing all of her puddings to the rest.

Amelia trying to learn Kanji her own way, but it's a far sensual way and something that will distract her. So instead, Asahi being persistent in teaching Amelia the correct style but not understanding how her mind works, it's a double-edged sword that she's trying her best to appeal to him, but with her words not matching her actions.

Amelia's memory "flops" is of Asahi's pat to the head when they were young, the first indication. But her being able to pass the Kanji test with Asahi helping her, she's grateful.

Starting out tropey can be bad, but there could be something decent here (if you're following the 3-episode rule).

Ah yes so I guess it will be one girl focused per episode and now it's Amelia who's struggling with Japanese and want to write kanji perfectly but only know the sexual ones (wtf) at least the issue has been resolved, the ending was somewhat heartwarming for her she improved fast

Cool episode, a little less funny imo than episode 2, but still cool

A flashback, Amelia knowing Asahi from before, just like Aoi in episode 2

I like the idea of writing all words in the house to learn them, but what's up with that mug though? It got all sorts of fish kanji on it, and I don't know if I'm overthinking or anything, but it makes me think about this video of Google Japan . (particularly at 00:17, you can see some common kanji with the one in the anime)

From what I can see, we're approximately in the middle of chapter 8, the last released. So if strange things were to happen, it'll probably be in the next 2 episodes

Learning Kanji from H-novel. NICE! Amelia.
You see!!! Izumisawa Aoi is the best girl. She wears glasses. She can cook. She is kind and helpful. And, She is not rushing things like others.

How did Aoi know about Asahi's favorite food??! That's a new mystery in the series.
At this point, it looked like every girl knew him before. With a flashback from Aoi from the previous episode and Amelia's from this episode, and maybe the rest of the girls in future episodes.

considering how this episode goes, seems like every "girl" will get a chance to have a alone time with Asahi, ep2 is Aoi and now it's Amelia.
And the certain recollection of memories from Aoi and Amelia through Asahi doing kind things to them hints that they have met Asahi in the past and so probably the other "girls" too.

this looks pretty interesting if you ask me

I like Asahi a lot. He seems like an all around great guy also judging from the now TWO flashback type scenes with Amelia's included this episode.

I believe that this is building up to these girls being all connected to one girl in the real world, in what way has yet to be seen IMO.

In general an unexpectedly wholesome episode, this setup gives me a Little Busters! vibe.

Ugh, kanji. I kinda stopped learning JP because of it. For all the challenges that anime characters overcome, this one sure is relatable.

Anyway, what's up with Aoi? She seems a bit too good. There has to he a twist. He was surprised that she knew his favourite dish - maybe she is a stalker?

bruh whole episode dedicated to learning kanji? well we got some amelia developments though.

aoi is the most normal one among them, thanks to which she has taken up the role of mother in that house. all signs tell me it's gonna be her who will win at the end.

now it seems like amelia knew asahi from childhood? whatever it is, i think we are not even close to finding out what the twist is gonna be.

enjoyable episode though.

Very good episode. I will say that I have to change my mind about Aoi being chosen because I know all of the girls (and the boy) will get one episode of development each, so I think maybe either Bai or Karin will be next up. I’m excited for episode 4!

First girl to get a focused episode about her is Amelia, and I liked it a lot. It had a lot of goofy moments like usual, the opening bed scene was great, Amelia reading hentai out loud in her bedroom was good too lol, and her classroom blunder by writing “murky white liquid” was also hilarious.

Not just that tho, I also loved Amelia’s learning kanji plot, she had the wrong idea about trying and not succeeding, it was nice to see Asashi give her something to try for and then see her improve by the end, it was pretty wholesome for sure, I love Romcom harems with a slice of wholesome personally lol. But once again the underlying plot is slowly revealing itself, with Aoi knowing what Asahi’s favorite foods are and the flashback Amelia saw, it’s interesting for sure but I’ll be enjoying this Romcom goodness in the mean time!

For some reason I wasnt expecting them to go full into the character focused episodes yet, but I guess we're here.
Now the question is if each girl is going to get one ep, or two? They have just barely enough for two, but if/when we get (the plot twist) hmm.
The other question is what the other characters are going to be focused on. Amelia's is relatively (guhehe) normal at least, and we still have the weird random thingy with sensei.

Going by the order in the credits its aoi>amelia>ilya>sensei>karin, which seems(?) to fit right now, though aoi's placement is weird since. They're definitely low key pushing her as the main girl or at least special in some way, but the question right now is how on earth does everyone tie into this? Everyone being from a different nationality is a weird choice as well.

Compared to ep 2 I'm not sure about the shenanigans, but otherwise it seems(?) the anime has cooled down a bit. Though judging from the other responses and people who dropped the anime early (not helped I think by the late airing of the anime) the anime as a whole seems kinda obscure, though there's only so much to say for now. (Could be worse though)

Since next ep is supposed to be ilya its possible they'll deal with the whole ilya thing, but eh. I mean.

I also wanted to mention that this anime reminds me a lot of some other(?) anime(s?) but I dont quite remember. Maybe I'm just imagining things.

(Also its kinda similar to rokujouma, but that aside)

Alright, so who cares about the slice-of-life stuff. Amelia was working hard for a Kanji test yadda yadda yadda. What's important here is figuring out the mystery of this show and I'm going to be ignoring the story beats for the whole season to do it.

Amelia unlocked a secret memory from her past of a young Asahi, so Aoi is not the only one. I'm going to assume all five of the girls (oops, I meant four girls and one boy) have a secret past connection with Asahi (yet another trope to add to the pile), but they seem to go through some digital brain blast when it happens. Is there something that is blocking these memories and a certain trigger unlocks them? Have they had certain memories wiped? Have said memories been surpressed for some nefarious purpose? Is Asahi some kind of special mental key to them unlocking their pasts? Why is the transition digital? Are they androids? Is it nanomachines, son?! What is this mental trigger and why do I feel like it'd be treated as this very important thing?

I will figure this out. I refuse to believe this is just a standard sexy harem comedy where the girls have cute butts. There IS a twist, I know it.

They probably decided to make the tomboy character something of a spoiler. Now, with that logic, one of the girls could be his sister lol.

So they decided to make a character focused episode this time, does that mean they are going to do that for the others as well? Hopefully, sensei episode comes soon because I don't really care about the others.

OK, so I think we can safely say that each of the girls is going to have some past connection to Asahi from before this all started. I guess giving each girl a focus episode as a means of revealing that allows the writers to take it slow and keep their cards close to their chest for as long as possible, but I just hope the upcoming episodes are more entertaining than watching CHU2 learning kanji for almost the entire episode.

Episode was a flop, we went from random batshit crazy trashfire, to boring mundane and bland tryhard romance.

So it looks like they'll be focusing on each girl per episode now as this one was focused on Amelia and boy does she have a dirty mind lol. She knew all of the sexual kanji words and translated milk as "murky white liquid" damn lol. She, like Aoi, also had a flashback to recognizing Asahi from years past so now I'm thinking that all of these girls (and that boy) had previously interacted with him or someone that looks like him. Curious how all of this will end.

Apesar de ser bastante clichê(se bem q eu acho q o autor está zoando com isso) esse anime é o misterio da temporada, todas as garotas estão apaixonadas pelo prota, mas não se lembram dele e nem ele delas, como o caso do episódio 2 e 3, onde a ruivinha e a de cabelo preto desbroquearam algumas memórias, será q elas estão em realidade virtual??? pq todas estão apaixonadas por ele??? estão em coma??? só assistindo pra saber a resposta...

Hmmmmmm........ This episode was a vast improvement of the first two. Seeing a tsundere break character and admit to having a problem is refreshing. Not groundbreaking but good enough to raise my level of interest. Amelia is a fun character and the way she was going about learning kanji was actually pretty funny. XD I enjoyed how determined she was to learn the language of the country she was currently living in. And Asahi's willingness to help and encourage her was very nice to see.

So far Aoi certainly seems like she's going to be the main girl with how she acts the most different to the rest.
