| These rivals against the main cast are almost like mirror reflections of themselves. I admit that it's a bit awkward although it also serves as a source of motivation for them. Looks like Ouka and the others went with Halloween theme style outfits to serve the customers. Not a bad choice imo. Riho's commanding presence this episode makes an impression even though it did intimidate her rivals a bit. |
 |
| Well with all the money the old dude can afford to throw at his cafe to take down Familia, changes were always going to need to be made. Hayato and the girls did a great job of responding to adversity and updating the menu and other aspects of the cafe to make it more attractive! Plus, Riho was awesome in this episode I like that Hayato isn’t afraid to put his foot down and say forget the past and his grandmother’s ownership, “I’m the owner now” 😭 the menu definitely did need a little sprucing up and I’m sure his grandmother would’ve not only been ok with it, but encouraged it. Shiragiku doing all this talk about Spanish food is crazy because I’ve been craving croquetas for the last couple weeks and am FINALLY getting some today. Those pinchos look good too though! I thought the whole thing with Chiyoda and Riho was going to be a little case of payback since Chiyoda tried cooking Riho earlier in the episode saying that the cafe was on the verge of going under and she’d be back to being broke essentially, but turns out Riho actually felt bad for her and wanted to help out. Riho won in the end anyway because Chiyoda tried using her idol clout to hurt familia and Riho proved that she’s the bigger star lmao. So many people flooded the shop when she was “found” on the news. Also, what’s up with content creators this season leaving their streams on and blowing up as a result 😭 Awayuki, Masaki and now Chiyoda. Great episode! Seems like the “beef” with the other cafe is already over or at least familia are up big time. Excited for next episode. So many good Riho and Hayato moments today too! |

| The girls looked so cute in their Halloween costumes and the new menu items looked delicious. |
| Some dirty tactics that Fuwa's using. Changing a menu thats been there for such a long time's always gonna be hard. But its nice to see Giku find the courage to overcome her limits. The primavera though sure looked nice and reasonated well with Riho's heartfelt words. And showing well her determination to help the cafe and Hayato in the process. Damm amusing seeing Ririka reduced to pleading for customers to come to their cafe though. As was seeing her get put in her place by Riho's sudden ambush. Curious to see how Ririka and her friends would bounce back. |

| I so wish they would come out with an English dub already. They talk so fast it is hard to follow what is going on. Anyways, the show is fun. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| I found Season 1 underwhelming and wasn't expecting much, but I feel like this show is improving. |
| It's a decent little harem show and all, but the ecchi tends to feel nonexistent. I'll drop before I get bored of it. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| PINCHO! Ami is always a riot. |
| The talk between Hayato and Kiku ended up being a success with Kiku getting the freedom to do what she wants rather than what she thought grandma would've wanted. Also, Ouka's halloween-themed outfits were really cute and well done. This goes to show that putting in effort and passion will work out in the end for them. Side note, I didn't realize it at first but Riho knowingly gave an assist to Chiyoda with her stream being left on. |
| In the end, the copies didn’t turn out to be much of a problem. It was obvious that no matter how much you invest in a business, if it's poorly managed, it will never thrive. Kiku stopped holding back and created a new dish for the menu, but the MVP of the episode was Riho, sacrificing her anonymity as a former actress and giving up the little fame she had left by playing the villain in Ririka's stream. However, it doesn't matter because it seems that Hayato's harem will grow even more in the next episode." |

I really doubt there will be an English dub for this one since season 1 still doesn't have one. I see, well, I’m glad the Japanese voice actors sound good, but I’ll have to get use to pausing and rewinding to understand. Or learn Japanese … 😅 |

| Hell yeah, Halloween uniforms! It might not be time yet but it’s always Halloween in my heart, Ouka did a great job. And not only that, we also have an unrestricted Kiku making new and more interesting menu items, I understand why she’s been holding back all this time but this is now Hayato’s cafe, we can’t have that shit here lol, and of course I’m sure Hayato’s grandma would be all for the change. And last but not least, Riho also played a big role in bringing in more people, it’s unfortunate she had to reveal her child acting to do it but I definitely respect the move, she even went and turned it into an advance on Hayato, wanting him to make her his girlfriend, once again I really respect the play. And on the rival cafe’s side of things, they had a boob bouncing opening to the episode with lots of customers, but with the comeback of Familia, the fact they are but a cheap imitation is showing and they became the ones sitting around with no one to serve. However, Riho actually went and put them back on the map when she went and made herself look bad when Ririka left her live stream on which I fucking knew was coming lol, at first I thought Riho fucked up but it was revealed that this was her intent from the start, Ririka definitely didn’t deserve the help but Riho did the right thing, I will admit I did start to feel a bit bad for Ririka too so I’m good with this. Now I’m wondering what each cafe plans to do now, Riho’s stunt will definitely hurt the amount of business at Familia, and the rivals will probably start to shake things up now too, I’m definitely excited to see how, that next time preview shows some sexy promise. |
I'm dead That's it? The other cafe barely put up a fight. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Hayato is right and they should make the cafe their own thing if they want to succeed, as sad as it is to change grandma's old menu. Riho almost became a villain at the end even though that other girl deserved that scolding. I'm kinda glad they're just letting it blow over and not doing some huge arc where she gets canceled or something. |
| Extremely good episode in my opinion. Maybe the best one of both seasons so far. It really hit the mark from start to finish. Even Ami and dark Ami. Looking forward to the rest very much.

The ladies are lapping it up. |

| meh the first season was bad enough and this one is even worse; it's not ecchi, it's some boring hackneyed drama with occasional unfunny jokes |
| Great episode for Riho who gets to help in a decisive manner both her boss's business and her rival. She even manages to flirt a little with Hayato. Hope we get more episodes like that :) |
| Best Girl Riho finally got her time and she delivered big time. Wih Shiragiku Primavera & Pinchos (Hayato let her cook good time) she rejuvenated Familia with her remaining clout also one upping Ririka showing who still has more following. Still she went out of her way to help Ririka seeing her desperation. Giving her a hard scolding to get her psychi right and also helping her reputation by losing some of her own. I hope it doesn't bite her and familia later but looks like Family is already given up and joining the harem soon. Also casually rizzed up Hayato. Best girl fr fr. New costumes were nice too well done Ouka. |
| Surely the rival cafe has another plan? They were defeated very quickly. |
| They're really trying to drive home the fact that these girls all have bigger breasts than the other girls aren't they lol. Really dumb episode though, I mean, Riho legit shared the secret she's been keeping for so long now about being a past actress. Just for her to get herself basically cancelled at the the end...? It's decent character development yeah, but just why... Also, art and animation was looking more shitty than usual jeez lol. |
 |
| Together they make the cafe better little by little. It must be admitted that the girls did their job very well this time. Like Shiragiku who is willing to let go of her inhibitions about her cooking, then Riho too. Riho deserves a reward from Hayato for what she does for the cafe too. So I thought this was a really good episode.  |
| MC makes Shiragiku understand she needs to grow beyond the bounds of copying what Sachiko did by having some originality if she wants to be a chef. The girls' Halloween costumes are cute, and in a departure from her previous encounter with the media, Riho uses her background to attract customers away from the rival Café Restaurant Family. Ririka forgot the turn of the stream, and now her fans know what's really going on, while Riho has nothing left to lose by saying those things to her, she's weeded out the proportion of Ririka's fan that would quit viewing her streams and shown which ones are loyal. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| I like how they are exploring the pincho/chinpo dichotomy. |
| Try as hard as the girls can do, case in point of Shiragiku trying to improve Hayato's grandmother's menu, it's no longer his grandmother that's running the café, it's Hayato himself. And Shiragiku limiting herself isn't the way to go, it's surpassing the standard that has stayed for the while. Tsukishima also wanting to help out through shopping produce, it has to be Family's idol Ririko Chiyoda who chides the child actor along the way, the harnessing power between social media and popularity, with new food and their Halloween outfit. Between Shiragiku and Tsukishima's unique popularity to give Familia the turnaround they've been looking for, the rivals are suffering in the same fate because no matter what they do, the OGs just simply cannot be beaten. And amidst the trash talk, Tsukishima ending up helping Ririka boost her livestream to win customers from the usual forgetfulness, is also a good thing, since Hayato has always been looking after her the same way. Welp, looks like Familia's gonna get a while lot busy on the commune side now. |
 |
| just when it turned for the good she had to do that lmao |
| Dont forget that Riho is the second best girl |
 |
| Tha main characters strike back and it's very satisfying to watch. Halloween costumes are cool, the new prepared food is interesting (and Hayato had some really good words with Shiragiku even if the "chains" sequence wasn't needed) and then Riho takes up the spotlight (again) to make the business famous by television. Yeah, it's not that surprising to see the rivals suddenly struggling after the opening hype, they look 100% aware they're in it just for the money and for a dirty revenge thing, they also ordered take-away food from the very competitors. And all the live streaming going on part... Damn. Excepted Hayato to be furious, but he wasn't, on the opposite, he kept a brave face on it and it wasn't a easy thing to handle at all. Previews suggest some possible plot finishing sooner than expected. As much as it seems still unrealistic, if the old creep is already going to be dropped off the map of this show i will be soooo happy. |
 |
| Well I mean... at least the Brazilian girl provided some fanservice this episode, aside from that it was pretty dry. Seems like they solved the problem with the new cafe already? |
| It was a pretty good episode story wise but it's definitively lacking in the Ecchi department. |
| Well yeah, so much for rivalry lol. Though not like the other cafe even tried. Can't wait to see that old man bawling his eyes out again xD |
 |
| The war only started in the last episode but a counter-attack has already been launched thanks to everyone unlocking their hidden, true potential- especially Riho. Heck the counter-attack was even too strong that they got too busy and had to counter-attack THEMSELVES and give some business back to their competition. And said competition seemed like they were able to pick up on Riho's true intentions... how will the war then fare from here on out? Maybe a balance will be struck, because it already feels like said war will come to an end soon, who knows. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| They almost went bankrupt. Hayato knows what he's doing, he's not afraid and encouraged Shiragiku to continue. Riho also did a good job of not going bankrupt, having a lot of fans. |
  |
| Great work from Shiragiku, those pinchos looks really pretty. Been waiting to see it in the anime. Riho did great too and even helped out that bratty junior even taking a hit on her reputation. She didn't have to go that far to help her but she's nice like that. Sweet moment with Hayato. |
 |
| Ririka is probably one of my favorite recent roles by Taketatsu Ayana. She plays a lot of character with harsh tone (she also did back then like Kirino), but Ririka reminds me of her Kiss x Sis and K-ON days as Azunyan which are the reasons why I like her performance so much. Very refreshing. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| Nah Riho is way too kind lol she first exposed her true identity to boost their café's popularity and then ruined it out of pity for the other girls who lost all their clients, well I guess it will be back to their initial situation now |
 |
| Suddenly, this show acquires some substance. That we should adapt to the times. Riho is also winning. |
| Goddamnit Riho you coulda just leave the copycats alone |
| After such a great turnout I have no idea why Riho done that on purpose :O Very nice episode, possibly best one from the first 3. OP and ED are nice visuals, but I like the first season ones better. |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
