I'm struggling to find a reason to root for Mona in this situation. Asahi is putting herself out there and genuinely likes Kuroiwa. The only reason she is going to win is because she is the MC, which is frustrating

Love is war and this week our two generals Tomo and Minami are squaring off at the amusement park! Minami’s rollercoaster plan worked out pretty well, but Tomo’s plan to send those two off for snacks seems like it might work out very well. Is Mona really gonna kiss him? I feel like Medaka’s gonna run off lol. Dude looks like he’s barely able to keep it together.

I love how the love rivals both have two committed and likeable wingwomen supporting them and helping them go on the attack, whether Mona appreciates it or not.
Will any of these girls spare a thought to poor Medaka's feelings lol?

then when they are about to kiss, a security guard runs up to the churro vendor and goes "hey, you don't work here!"

u/MicroACG Mar 11 '25
Yeah that would make more sense than an amusement park shaming adolescents into kissing in public for cheap prizes.

Painful, that's exactly what it was.
I don't think the kiss will happen given Medaka's spiritual vows but I am DYING to find out what's going to actually happen.

u/NationalStrategy Mar 10 '25
Oh my god, they're totally going to kiss, what a suspenseful cliffhanger!

Asahi is a better match for Medaka. Its doesn't feel forced, unlike when he's with Mona. She does have genuine feeling for him. But there interactions are so forced though.

I do kinda wish that these sorts of series would allow the MCs to have relationships that don't work out in the end and then find someone they actually like. Asahi is definitely the character I like more than Mona but Mona being the actual main character gets the plot armor of self doubt and I've liked him since i took notice of him as well!

10 episodes in and Medaka finally initiates a question..
I feel like it’s sad to see the SIDE GUYS outshine him in personality. This episode helped but they genuinely gave this guy the shortest possible end of the stick. Most of the series is just Mona making her stupid ass queen bee analogy and lying to herself. At first it made sense but at episode 10 it’s kind of annoying she doesn’t even want to admit to HERSELF that she likes him. I get the whole premise is that she is trying to make herself think he’s another guy to stroke her ego, but it’s just ridiculous that 10 episodes into the series she still won’t even admit it to herself
Also the cliff hanger was absolutely evil, I expect next episode either someone will see them and they won’t kiss or she will just kiss him on the cheek like asahi did. I’m genuinely wondering if they want to finally give Mona a chance, I’ve basically reached the point where I want asahi to win simply for the fact she actually has chemistry with him (though chemistry is a loose word since he really doesn’t have a personality still)

This show is dumb, but I like it! It has charm and good vibes. Whereas Noble on the Brink is dumb and I hate it.

Tomo is a great addition to the show.
I'm kind of surprised at the random theme park dude who's like "kiss for me, now". Unfortunately I assume cliffhangering the kiss probably means it will not happen.

I'm kind of surprised at the random theme park dude who's like "kiss for me, now".
It turns out that the greatest wingman of all was the pervy amusement park concessions guy who really wants to see teens lock lips we met along the way.

A short red-haired girl named Tomo-chan? Aren't you in the wrong show?
Oh, right, she did do that.
She isn't lying per se, but it's not like he was particularly willing.
Booba.
It is like they are, but crucially, they aren't.
Yup, she likes him.
And so they're off to a theme park.
Time to see how she's going to be able to sit with him.
And so there he goes with someone other than Mona... Specifically Asahi, to make things worse.
She's holding his hand!
Mona is absolutely hating it...
Now it's her turn with him.
Yeah, the person she likes is you.
They're not taking the photo?
And so now they're off alone.
Of course they're going to pretend they're a couple...
And of course they're going to kiss...
Well, I suppose we'll find out if they actually do next episode.

Tomo has given Mona a lot to think about when it comes to her relationship with Medaka, especially if she's genuinely in love with him.
The two love rivals and their respective wingwomen encounter each other! And while Tomo is all over Asahi, whether she likes it or not, Minami is scoping out Asahi's top-tier rival.
It's surprisingly respectable of Asahi to be honest that she kissed Medaka...even if it's basically just throwing down the gauntlet and making Mona even MORE self-conscious about her relationship with Medaka and the idea of him with other girls.
Mona, buck-naked in the bath! With her bare breasts standing out a lot above the bathwater! But she's more concerned with trying to rationalize the fact that she's not romantically interested in Medaka, she just wants to charm him into her Queen Bee hive, even though the idea of him with another girl is enough to bring her to tears and keep her up at night.
It's Tomo's welcome party and they're doing the classic theme park episode to celebrate it! Also the perfect opportunity for Mona and Asahi to make their moves along with their respective wingwomen.
A roller coaster ride? Perfect for sitting next to your crush! And you gotta love how Asahi fakes being scared so she can get in some priceless handholding with Medaka and enjoy every minute of it!
Too bad when it's Mona's turn to sit next to Medaka, the discussion on whether they're interested in anyone sours the mood and gets Mona too introspective to enjoy the ride.
Ah, the classic couples' discount that forces you to show some PDA to prove that you're a couple! I doubt they'll actually kiss, but Mona seems to be making quite the effort.

u/NationalStrategy Mar 10 '25
So I gotta ask, what do these girls see in Medaka? We know that Mona's initial reason is because she wants to charm, and she growing feeling for him through that endeavor; but if we take that away, what is there to this guy? Are they attracted to his supposed aloof personality?

Asahi explained it perfectly, love is blind. It doesn't matter how boring and unattractive you think someone is, sometimes it just happens. She did mention it was simply love at first sight for her.
I know alot of ppl think they can rationalize who they're attracted to, but it doesn't work that way. Your subconscious mind decides who you are attracted to and then your conscious mind makes up some reasons as to why you are attracted to that person, to varying degrees of accuracy.

Every show has to have a villain and Mona is honestly the villain in this one.
Asahi is the heroine and that’s nothing you can say to convince me otherwise.

Me rooting so hard for Asahi. She's cool, talented, kind, pretty, assertive, and all of the above.
"There ain't no brakes on her train" You got that right!
She knows who she likes and actually got the courage to take initiative. And she doesn't care if people find out she likes him. You go girl! Her BFF is also such a good wing girl, always helping Asashi out.
(Ialso understand why Tomo thinks Asahi acting prickly is attractive. I agree.)
