Mona...her feelings all over the place again and really, she just admit that has feelings towards Medaka. But then again, she seems very confused.

Tomo still plays the wingman for Medaka but this got awkward again. Since Tomo introduced herself in this anime, it felt like the show got a boost of energy. Asahi had to be there too of course. Such an amusing episode.

This series worked wonders on people who have problems with sleeping, trust me. You watch a single ten minute segment with just Mona being around, and it’ll put you to sleep. The constant back and forth, the constant screaming… seriously, I think she’s not getting hated enough, I mean we’ve this dense as fuck dude around, so he covers up for her, but yeah, the bottom line is, Asahi and now Tomo has somehow saved this series… though that somehow is really just somehow.

Though I’m afraid to say Tomo rooting for the wrong girl here, because you know, even with all those efforts, it won’t do jackshit between Mona and this guy, because again, Mona’s one of those who can only make stuff inside her head. Good to my girl Asahi being that upfront on her roller coaster ride, but yeah, this show will give Mona all the chances in the world... only for her to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Nice episode
Asahi is firmly ahead of Mona now in getting Madeka's attention, now that she has kissed him and held his hand I can't see how Mona can compete.

I was about to say what a idiot shopkeeper but then he asks kiss to prove. Brutal cliffhanger but I heavily doubt anything will happen. This two idiots are way too delulu. Tomo is trying her best but no avail which I doubt will change in last 2 episodes.

In comparison Asahi was much straightforward and honest but again he is problematic. Minami was great support as always.
She and Haruno easily best characters in this show.

Asahi is really putting in the work. It's impressive that she ain't even in their class, yet she seems to be the one actually winning Medaka, due to her efforts. Excited to know how this would conclude in just 2 episodes.

The series so far is not bad but I do have to winder... Why didn't Mona or Asahi just spoke to Kuroiwa and tried to actually learn something about the guy?

They will most probably learn that he is priest in training and cannot get into relationships or gush over girls that easily because of his faith.

But then again, logic and this series do not go toe to toe. As romantic drama this series is great, just try to not think too much of it.

People tend to misunderstand Mona, she's clearly Narcissistic, but it's regressing a bit. She doesn't understand these feelings she is experiencing so she's brushing it off as her wanting to be adored rather than acknowledging her feelings. Asahi doesn't have this internal conflict within her; hence being the reason of her being straightforward towards Medaka. So Basically the love battle is between Mona vs Asahi and Mona.

@greatshansama08 Exactly and for that reason I love Asahi far more. Mona is so exausting.

"What is with this girl?"
Something good, I think.
"Yeah, Tomo doesn't know how to take no for an answer."
Well, good, ask away, dearheart.

"What?! She gave Medaka a k ...ki...!"
Yeah, honey, it not like in E1 you intentionally showed him your pantsu, then popped your blouse open while straddling him, then pulled up your sweaty gym shirt. Oh, wait.

"Why am I gettin' all worked up over this?"
Yeah, honey, It's not like it's so obvious that everyone but you recognizes it, or like you two besties have repeatedly pounded the why into you. Oh, wait.

If only another Tomo had been that bold. Oh wait, that was another show & she almost was. Never mind.
If Mona continues with the denial, she will certainly lose. Heck, she is already losing to a choirboy & an underclassmen. LOL

Another episode of Mona being annoying as usual. Asahi in attack mode is something I did appreciate this episode though.

Overall the anime has been leaning more on the annoying side of the spectrum for rom/coms for me. I’m still going to finish this anime since it’s almost finish, but damn…

@Jumaron Average Goonbrain ngl ofc can only compute the basic waifu vs someone that is flawed and is working through their character. People be saying she's not hated enough when mostly everyone does + it's obvious this show isn't trying to make you like her straight off the bat either in a romance drama.

@ssssaturna First I'am not a Goonbrain (Look at your PFP 💀). When I said "love" it does not mean to be my "basic waifu", there are many ways how somebody can love someone not only romantically. I get your point, but they make it for Asahi far dirtier. It is completly clear from the get go who should win and thats also another point why the ratings are not great for this show. So now after 10 Episodes i even liked her less then in the first one, so how many more episodes until i like her?
Do you really think If i made a pool now and after the last episode between if Asahi or Mona should win the triangle battle a lot will change??

Asahi took a page from Nino Nakano this episode, even the train without breaks analogy was used just like in Quintuplets lol, but it’s definitely a good way to be in a romance race, I’m sure Asahi is getting a lot of help from Minami but it’s still great to see, the way Asahi just dropped that she was lying the whole time about being scared right before the drop was perfect lol.

And Mona got her chance on the rollercoaster too, she tried but it ended up being Medaka himself that stopped her when he asked who she likes, but I can’t blame Mona for being stumped here because there is no one else she could answer confidently besides the man right before her lol. End of the episode is looking pretty good for Mona tho with that kiss nearly happening, I like that she’s seriously attempting it but this being used as a cliffhanger tells me that it’s probably not gonna happen, oh well, maybe the kiss can still happen before the end of the season.

So, both Mona and Asahi have their own assists... It's sad that even with Tomo's help, Mona always sabotage herself... C'mon Mona, just notice your feelings already...!
I don't think there'll actually be a kiss on the next episode... But I do have a little spark of hope....

Asahi pulling a fast one by claiming she's scared of rollercoasters when she really isn't, and even getting to hold Medaka's hand! Meanwhile Mona is not sure of herself and can't answer him when he asks her if she likes anyone. Mona could gain some ground on Asahi if she kisses him but I think something/someone will prevent that from happening in the next episode.

Asahi takes the lead! Although I love everything Asahi is doing, I feel like it will all be in vain— the script will make Mona win, and that bothers me a little. At least Mona has stopped being unbearable and is now showing a sweeter side as she starts doubting her feelings for Medaka.

The churro vendor did more than Tomo or Minami 😅.

@greatshansama08 Mona, Akane and Maho share more or less the same personality issue. Both Mona and Akane may not have enough time to resolve themselves, because of Asahi and Himari...

Finally, I expect the one who wins Medaka is... his deity of choice.

Of COURSE! We get a cliffhanger like that...

Great episode. Fun to see a theme part episode, kind of refreshing. Asahi is getting closer to Kuroiwa in her own way, and more successfully than Mona I might add. However, that bloody cliffhanger though.. That might change everything but I doubt it. I have no doubt that she actually is about to kiss him but I think someone will come along and interrupt them, maybe Asahi? Who knows.

Anyway, great episode like I said. Can't wait for next weeks ep.

@Jumaron You're probably a goonbrain with whatever implication you're putting behind my PFP after scrolling my profile lol. Also you're shifting the goalpost cause I'm not arguing about you or anyone else coming to terms on at some point coming to like whichever fictional character or that you have to invest in the show, I wouldn't rate this show any higher than just something to waste time on either.

The weird people are the ones acting radical that the FMC has personality issues and like they're speaking holy scripture for pointing things out that are literally in the anime's description. So like when there's a most standard stereotypical basic waifu, and people move to worship her they're pretty much bending the knee to what the show wants you to feel like in this romance drama, making them just the same extremely simpleton NPC as everyone else.

It's irony

good episode, Ahashi Makin moves and progress, still best girl in the show. Still hate Mona. sucks she gonna inevitably "win" cause of cliche romcom anime plot -_-. Would love to be proved wrong though and have Asahi be the one who ends up with Medaka, whole Mona eventually realizes her feelings but moves one. 4/5 episode for Asahi progress.

Series is not well rated but i find it more enjoyable to watch than that workplace romance rated 7.40. They couple from start no drama at all, and everything is served on plate i just dont feel anything. This is miles better than that. Medaka at least have some struggle to get to ths point which intrigue me more and its school theme.

Oh yes we have the group all going to the amusement park, which is perfect for love when they're paired together, but now it's still a war between Asahi and Mona to get Kuroiwa, Mona is just getting crazier and crazier over her love for Kuroiwa now that she's realizing it ahaha, a cliffhanger to know if they'll kiss or not is pretty fun though lol

Mons being insufferable against her bestie Tomo in admitting that she has feelings for Kuroiwa, and the latter meeting Asahi and Minami out of coincidence, it sure is a riot having Tomo face the Kouhais. Asahi basically admitting her secret kiss to Kuroiwa, which riles up Mona, fires Tomo to put a welcome party for her, though her ulterior motives may vary. It's just suffering to see Mona being naive that she's not in love with Kuroiwa, though her clearly flustering proves otherwise.

Tomo's welcome party bringing the group to the amusement park, it's the big romance fight the series has thus far with Mona and Asahi, with the besties of Minami and Tomo assisting them if trouble sets in with Kuroiwa. First up, the rollercoaster, which Kuroiwa has to take the ride twice, with Asahi first and Mona thereafter...and both having the same fright by holding hands together...or rather, Asahi just knows how to play her game well, acting all smug. Mona taking reins next, and instead, Kuroiwa's question caught her by surprise, even if it's just a regular Tokyo-ish conversation.

Tomo leading both Kuroiwa and Mona to the snacks shop after their harrowing experience, and it just so happens to be couples' discount. But to prove it by kissing each other, it's the worst-case scenario both could ever imagine. Will Mona not chicken out and take the plunge, just as Asahi did?

Nailed the setting of this episode with the kind of plot going on, Asahi is going more and more blunt, "well, prove to be a couple by kissing now", multiple faking fear of Rollercoasters (i would have just been honest and stayed on the ground), more priceless Mona's face reactions... Decently entertained once again.

I just don't get the point in having a bath scene, having the camera linger over the breasts multiple times from different angles, only to make the water green (or some other color) and opaque, and/or not bother drawing nipples.
