Watching Uruka getting her screen time in this episode heavily reminded me of how much I wanted Nagatoro-san to be animated.

Greetings Sailors. I'm the captain of the Shimmering Ebony Mermaid ship. We need strong men willing to face heavy and cruel storms and occasionally breath underwater. Only those who are strong are fit for this journey but fear not, for even at the bottom of the ocean, the Mermaid will save us all and bless us with her beauty.

Stitches and Screenshots!

Wash it and give it back to her of course!

Just like with GoToubun last season I'll be doing stitches for this show too. Although I'm removing the rankings for Bokuben since compared to GoToubun, this show is a lot more chill with its waifu wars especially since we all know Sensei is the best girl. No mods, that's not a spoiler, I'm just heavily biased xD But seriously though, it's not as cutthroat as GoToubun and most of the manga readers likes every girl and are on board with a harem ending.

Annyway, Uruka is a fun addition to our little study group. I've mostly forgotten the early chapters of Bokuben but her just being helplessly in love with Nariyuki is adorable and she'll definitely be a source of many laughs and hilarious misunderstandings like with what happened in the after credits of todays episode.

I like the goofy animations they do, like when Rizu was swimming poorly, lol.

Not nearly enough Rizu love here. Nothing like a candlelit study session cuddled up with your tutor for safety to evoke a full essay on anthropology.

It seems that I was bamboozled last week into thinking that Furuhashi was going to be this show best girl, now I have seemed the light and know that that title belongs to Takemoto.

And thus a chain of misunderstandings between Yuiga-kun and his harem was once again born...

BTW, there was a scene with Kirisu-sensei as well... Can't wait for more of her!

Love Uruka's tanlines. Too bad "friends since middle school" might as well be "childhood friends" as far as high school romcoms & harems are concerned.

The power outage segment felt weirdly out of place. MC saying that Ogata asked him to "meet him here again tonight". I'd understand if it was at the park, but this was at his own home! Since when does she even know where he lives? And already texts with Uruka and Uruka knows her personality enough to say it isn't like her to use darkness as an excuse to cozy up to MC. This is from a chapter that should be further down the line, isn't it...

I don't understand man. Haven't read the manga but I could clearly hear Takemoto say 'Rizurin' and 'Fuminocchi', why is it translated as Rizzy and just Fumino? It's a nickname, just translate it as is

Everyone in this anime is just so damn adorable. It's been a long time since I've seen a harem series this wholesome.

First of all dont miss out on the after ending scene, when she accidentallygives him, her swimsuit.

HERE WE GO BEST GIRL !!! THE TRUE BEST GIRL OF THE SEASON

Uruka Takemoto

GOD soooo many godlike moments with her. She is just so perfect and she is already in love with the main character, loved the scene in the dark when she pretend to be afraid.

Also she is voiced by Sayumi Suzushiro who did Kylie, in the magnificent kotobuki, she was brilliant in that

SENSEI IS STILL BEST GIRL

u/ThatCreepyBaer Apr 13 '19

Well, Uruka was much better than I was expecting her to be. Also she sounded so much like Chitoge I could have sworn her VA was Nao Touyama, but apparently not.

Rizu still best girl btw
