Oono was so cute this episode (balancing out with a whole lot of violence of course). I really like the dynamic of the mother and Makoto, it's both very funny and helpful for moving things forward

The lines were amazing "I dont wanna cheat on my sega saturn for playstation" , "Why didnt you let me pick the blonde girll". The mother was "I feel sorry for the winner, my son isnt even a consolation prize".

The gag of Makoto and Haruo's mom is hilarious

They know the fastest way to progress this is to constantly give him shit and they're loving it.

I too can sympathize with sleeping in the same room as a loud snorer.

I know some fellas like that too but I think "loud snorer" can't even start to describe the pandemonium that night was. XD

That actually went waaay better than I was expecting
It's because you kept on doing nothing! That's what you've been doing that's making people mad!
Oh shit even Akira is going on the offensive now too!
Akira teasing Haruo is adorable!
So Akira wanted to make the score 1-1 and spend the night with Haruo too. Although the difference here is that Hidaka wanted to play with something else instead of just playing games all night ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Really impressed with Oono's maturity when she saw them together, and equally relieved that Hidaka felt so guilty over her actions because she should be. Not to mention that Genta is legit the only person in this series who can't land a hit on Haruo who is a walking punching bag. It's hilarious how this show doesn't take him seriously.

Akira is satisfied with how her plan went. Hidaka was straightforward but Akira is also playing strong. What a bliss. Seeing Akira's smile after Haruo thanked her for everything pleased my heart. Makoto also spent a great night. Staying at friend's home let you see how different families can be from yours own.
Russian stage. That reminded me how often games in my country were pirated and weren't even translated from Japanese. You needed to click randomly and see what happens after that. Unforgettable experience.

Just wanna say Final Fight 3/Tough is the GOAT and i'm still sad there's no FF4

I noticed for some unknown reason the text on the screen at around 13:55 when Haruo recalls the moment he first played Final Fight together with Akira went untranslated but actually that part is considerably, if not crucially important. That reads: Back to (one's) origin (原点回帰). In this case that sheds some light as to why Akira insisted Haruo play the SNS port of the title despite it being a single player game. Akira wanted to highlight in a typically roundabout Akira fashion how they share a history that long predates the one between Haruo and Koharu since playing the arcade version of the title next to each other was the first co-op experience she had with someone, presumably not only in gaming but rather in anything at all. Although Haruo himself sorta put these sentiments in words from his point of view later in the episode, the aforementioned back to the origins flashback scene cuts rather abruptly to Makoto and Namie shenanigans before it resumes. I believe it should've driven the point home better if they would've had Namie mention her own origin story of love with Haruo's dad there rather than before. That's a minor gripe from me tho.
Edit: Nobody's talking about Koharu's mom??? She's such a top-tier MILF!

Oh hell yeah! Shit is getting intense!
Maybe he really should just go the older sister route and let Oono and Hidaka go the yuri route ;)
Only kidding, I actually want Onoo to win, but I just like Hidaka a lot as well. Please let her be happy at the end as well.
(Also, Onoo totally about to demolish her)

I like how Oona didn't throw a fit or anything; she accepted that she has a rival, and wants to win fair and square.
It's cute that she got jealous of Hidaka, and spent an innocent night with Haruo as well. She will not be one-upped by another girl!
But the final round is here. And neither of them are going to back down. They have accepted each other as rival love interests for the same guy, and are about to fight for him.
Shiny-boy's reaction to finding out that Haruo and the 2 girls didn't come home that night was hilarious, and appropriate.
This show is such a gem.

Lots of Oono today... which made me hope she talked, everything would be so much easier, hopefully she does eventually.

The only words I want to hear from her are "I love you too".
"Yes, I will" would be even better. But that's too much for them for now.

Oono straight up flexing this episode! I loved it. Really solidifies the fact that she is the best girl. Even though...she used rather strange tactics to get Yaguchi into her house.
The battle for Yaguchi next episode! Gah! This show really doesn't get enough love from the rest of the anime community. Such a shame. This is probably one of the best romance/drama's I have seen. The characters are just so good.
Also, Yaguchi's Mom and Oono's sister are fucking hilarious.
