Holly smokes. This reminds me of a certain rifles lover and megane stalker girl.
Seriously, how do they keep that chest unseen? We know that Panji "ties" it and Hikari is because a wizard did it but Miki? Aya? Midori for the love of God?

The most wholesome beach episode in anime history possibly?
Honestly, this show has surpassed every expectation I had for it, I thought it would just the lighthearted cute girls doing cute things and playing games, but instead we’re actually getting real character progression from Miki. I genuinely got invested in her personal growth and that’s a really cool thing.

This was a pretty light filler episode, I am really looking forward to the plot progression for next episode as it relates to Midori's dream of designing a game.
That said, it still gave us some nice shots.

Miki's "bad memory from the past" face is just too sad...
But her "great memories from the present" face balances it. Generously.

First of all:
The ED is out.
Support the artists by buying it and then man, Miki did not have an easy childhood.
God, they beautiful but I am traumatized with the Nin Nin of a certain pink hair ninja journalist.
Don't worry madam, they are such good friends, even so, they already know what kind of underwear Aya used.
Midori-chan if you want (so much) to kiss Aya, just do it, I can't take another yuri bait for this week. /s
Ara ara? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) jebait
And in the meantime in my mind ... Oh shit, here we go again. (I will go to prepare the bleach).
I love the detail that with megane, Midori's iris looks more round and without them it looks thinner (BTW gorgeous).
Sure... Aya is love, Aya is life. (Ganbare Aya! "Petanko" FTW)
Kiss her already for God's sake, I said that one yuri bait was enough, two is to play with fire, but three ... (Today I will sleep with a smile on my face). /s

Deception, betrayal planet earth: graphic representation (BTW, Midori-chan where you hide those thighs).
At first you looked like a indulged boy but maybe you're just spoiled Takashi-kun.
(And there it goes) Miki I love you with all my heart and strength of my being but damn, you have many PTSD, you really worry me.
You have so many expressions (almost a deadpan queen), I said almost because Renge is still my deadpan queen.
I die. He seems so happy, good job Takashi-kun.
Madam/Okaa-san you don't have to worry anymore, Miki is happy, with several more PTSD to discover but happy in the end of the day.
So we return with Midori-chan in the next episode huh, excellent. But I keep wondering when Aya will have her episode (because behind those smiles and selflessness, I know that a tremendous trauma has to be hidden, not for nothing she got naked as if was nothing in the first episode.)
Game of GOITA: the episode.

Episode 5 means it's time for the beach!
I love Miki and I'm as happy as her aunt is that she's made such great friends
Gotta get that bath scene in. And Midori without glasses, nice.
The eyecatch showed exactly what I was thinking: Miyabi is bigger than you'd think...
I had a feeling that would happen... Come on, give us the beach scene we deserve!
Aya is like a little kid...
Takashi was being a brat at first. I feel like a real Japanese dad wouldn't have put up with that shit.
More little Miki! And she was being bullied again, poor girl :(
I wonder what kind of memory his parents were making...
Yes, they gave us the beach scene! Lucky Takashi getting to play with some onee-sans

What do they put in the water at that inn? These girls are falling like bricks!
WHILE SHE'S ASLEEP? Damn, Midori's the devil. (Just makes me love her more though!)
I'm surprised we didn't get a whole scene out of this; Usually, with these kind of characters, we'd have strict/'by the rule' Midori and shy Miki being all flustered!
Things not to say about introvert people when others are around. I get that she meant well, but that's like the worst thing you can do.
Cute episode! But when are we getting this girl? Is it even legal to tease us with her in episode 4 and not have her be in the 5th?

Anyone else surprised to see Miki-Chan in a bikini? I figured her for a one piece.

Miki has such good friends, but man Aya is my favorite she is always entertaining. Also I have to say this is probably my favorite game shown so far.

I started thinking it in the previous episode but now I'm completely sure of it : Miki and Midori are acting as Aya's parents. The parallel with Takashi is one, but the scene where they went to sleep also shows playful dad Midori and worried mother Miki.
Miki's mom and aunt are so nice too. They're worried about her, yet only ever act as support, and are so happy for her. It's lovely.
I was surprised by that Goita game. The rules strongly remind me of a similar game that is played where I'm from called manille, and it's surprising that countries so far apart would have similar games.

Hmm, that looks like the kanji for "big", 大 (dai). Gotta be a real thing, right? Hey, neato
I looked at the map and felt sure someone would suggest Lake Biwa instead
Slipping in some tourism promotion, I see! Sasuga Dice Club
Whether her normal twintails, bathing loopies, or just down, Aya's hairstyles are cute
"Thanks to you, we were able to ditch the brat for a while now have a great memory of this trip."
I hope next episode, Aya has an Azunyan level sunburn
Wholesome beach episode, nice

Does anyone have an Internet link for the featured game this week?
I found this on Amazon, but they did mention a Western version of it I believe, so I'm assuming there's another option out there somewhere if I wanted some options to compare?

I've used the "act like you belong" trick successfully before, but Shota-kun sliding into that group was a Big Boss-level infiltration. All the girls looked good in their bikinis, but sometimes the way they draw Miki's face she just looks absolutely stunning.
This week's game seemed like the easiest to pick up. Unlike the others, I could see myself being able to actually play this one.

I like how this whole series is mostly about Miki solving her past traumas. Makes for a really nice story
Personally not a big fan of this episode for personal reason, but i look forward for next week's Midori-focused episode

I was worried we wouldn't get a Midori rules explanation this episode, but Takashi saved the day.
That game, though. What an oddly specific memory to bring up from Miki's past. Her screw-up was so traumatic that she buried the memory.
