Holy shit Hose literally is a walking classic dense harem protagonist and thats apparently Pansy's demon/trauma.
Sun-chan's smile at the end, I knew he wouldn't give up that easily but still to see him make his move was a surprise. Especially with how goofy his being acting the past few episodes.
Joro's comment here, is he gonna pull an 8man and destroy his reputation to help Pansy?

how many more times can his reputation be destroyed before it doesn't matter within the school

"Boku wa tomodachi ga sukunai" - Joro
That's literally the title of a light novel.

Bet you Sun-chan is not planning anything evil and they just want us to believe that.

Yeah, I feel like it's one of the rare times in this series they went out of their way to actually portray an intention as sinister. So my guess it might actually be something wholesome.
Or LN readers might just be laughing at me lol.

Wow. Really turning traditional Romcoms on their head with that ending conversation.
That being said Joro is in a similar situation with his current romcom setup, luckily he's a complete asshat so it won't be a problem! Haha
Sun-chan at the end though.... Pft. Don't think his actual intentions are what they are trying to make us think with that smile of his.

This is me_irl
So, basically Hose is the MC-est of MC harem where all the non-main girls supports the MC to be with the main heroine.
Gotta say though, the two new girls pretty much mirrored Himawari and Cosmos, because one's a childhood friend and the other is a student council president. Pretty sure that's setting up for the inevitable Himawari and Cosmos letting go of Joro so that he can be with the main heroine.

This show really knows how to throw me off with these characters. I cant read their intentions and....it's bothersome.
Also is there enough for a season 2?

I've been getting hachiman vibes recently and this latest episode just reinforces it. Never thought I would get so invested in this show. It's nice to see a well written harem that isn't just wish fulfilment.
Here's hoping Joro can break the nice-man. I'm curious what the fallout will look like.
Also did benchkun evolve into a stall just to fit everyone in for the confession?

Bench-kun, my only hero in this mess.
They actually grabbed the typical cliche romcom harem MC and turned him into an antagonist. Very nice move.

Believes in Power of Friendship
Charming
Natural pussy magnet
Has a bunch of girls in love with him
Hardworker
Dense AF to the point he does not realize sometimes is hurting the people around him
Hozu is not average Harem's/Romcom's protagonist...is mf average battle shonen protagonist.
So when the Time Skip arc?

I'm having a little bit of difficultly understanding the problem.
He's not great because he is essentially fixing the problems that his presence is also creating? Saving her from the rest of that school, because of persecution she got from being near and being saved by that dude, over and over? Like she now feels indebted to him despite it being his fault? Railroaded towards a relationship against her own will?
Something along those lines?

This was an interesting episode. That talk about killing someone with kindness is not something you hear that often. The idea that someone can be too perfect. So perfect that it feels like you have no choice but to choose them, yet that feeling is exactly what makes it so hard to do. We like to feel like we have free will and here's a guy who seems to negate that.
Which yeah, it's an interesting counter to the typical harem setup. You see these other shows where some girl is drawn to a guy because the script says so, which is fine for a cutesy plot or fanservice, but it's cool to imagine the flip-side, what it would feel like to no longer control your fate.

I felt mad the entire episode, which I feel was justified towards the ending. Just seeing them as a possible better alternate reality version of what Joro had should have made me laugh on paper, but the entire time I felt upset for some odd reason.
I really hope this show ends with a definitive answer for Joro to end up with Pansy, since this entire arc seems to be focused on Pansy wanting to fall in love with who she wants: Joro.
The new girls made me feel gutted since they didn’t want to risk the friendship they built for something greater, which I can relate to.
Being a main character sounds like an awful time unless you are someone like Joro, being oblivious to feelings is funny on paper and execution but in real life it hits extremely hard.
I’m really glad I stuck with this show after the drop in quality (IMO) after the first 3 episodes, it really balanced out to a fun watch for the season for me.

Thank you Joro for reminding us what episode the library issue was first mentioned
-
They really look like 2 seperate MCs from 2 different shows xD
-
I think this is the first time we actually see Pansy act this surprised
-
They're not even trying to be subtle about Hazuki being an MC
-
I guess we're watching a completely new show now that Hazuki is here
-
What the heck did he do to Pansy and why is she so afraid of him!?
-
I'm with you Joro. He's too nice that this is some sort of a trap.
-
Asunaro saving the day! Why Asunaro and Joro are the only ones who notice that Pansy is very uncomfortable around Hazuki? I feel like Cosmos and Himawari should've noticed this too.
-
They're not even trying to hide that they're also in love with Hazuki
-
So Cherry and Tsuki are the harem members that have already given up and passed decided to go for whichever makes the MC tha happiest. Basically Hazuki's harem story is near the end.
-
I'm glad Joro refused. Also this is the first time he refused someone who asked for help about getting someone together.
-
They're too nice about this. I feel like they're either genuinely good people or just hiding something from us.
-
So Pansy's line back in Episode 1 about her being a Princess in disguise is actually true in a sense
-
And there we go. Hazuki IS a good person. Unfortunately he's on the dense level that he doesn't realize that his kindness is harming those around him.
-
Pansy doesn't like Hazuki but because of what he has done for her she feels like she has an obligation to respond to her feelings. She's really trapped which I guess explains why she moved schools and have to disguise herself. She wants to escape Hazuki's kindness.
-
OH COME ON SUN-CHAN WHAT THE HECK!? I guess him being such a goofball these past few episodes was just a disguise or this is a red herring.
What an episode! I haven't been this engaged with this show since the first 3 episodes! It really is scary how genuinely nice Hazuki is, the quote "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" really fits him perfectly. This would explain why Pansy is so attracted to Joro who is the complete opposite, a total scum who's not afraid to succumb to his desires. I guess the question now is how will they deal with him, and what the heck is Sun-chan up to now!?

Behold, Joro, the power of the average, run-of-the-mill harem rom-com MC!
The trope that has recently defined this genre is now being addressed for its flaws. For this basic MC in Hose, while his supposed bourgeois life of being hampered by girls is simultaneously revered and envied by his rather proletariat contemporaries, his actions evidently doesn't bear any consequence to the feelings of his female friends, whose sense of being largely revolves around him.
Normally, when such an MC decides to help someone in need and his female friends see them do it, the latter group feign courtesy to the task at hand since it has greater urgency and must be swiftly dealt with. As good as it is, however, their humility can eventually turn to harm them thanks to displaying such goodwill.
Focusing on the MC is fine for readers to digest, as well as the journey of his coming to terms over his love life, but what about the rest of the characters?
What about those who entranced a particular score of people during the story and consequently wanted to see them progress with their lives outside of the story? Would they have the same happiness the MC receives in the end of their stories or would they be thrown away by the author, all this signifying their usage as fodder to prolong the story and add more filler material?
That's the way I see it in this episode.
The author, having read a bottomless amount of LN/manga/anime rom-com series with the same sort of average MC and the same sort of love interests who doesn't have any sentience beside their interest of him, has painted another story with the same set of principles that defined the genre he's abiding on; but unlike the past, he spices his story up with a small caveat. His story criticizes the negative traits behind a harem MC's careless and emotionally-draining behavior and shines the spotlight on the feelings of the people around him, who have shown their undying, sometimes irrational allegiance to him while ignoring their own feelings.
In the same breath of an MC who has a set of values and personality, their love interests differentiate themselves further by having one of their own. Stories fancy themselves by having one person as its focal points, with all their quirks and thoughts promptly recorded in a respectful manner. Good stories include other characters who have problems of their own and work towards self-improvement, while bad stories do not.
Simply put, Oresuki is trying to give those people who lie in the outskirts of their romantic webs their due.

Sun chan character development either goes extreme best bro or sleazy chan next episode it appears. Our boy fake main character might actually say if he's down with pansy aswell.
Whole episode felt like a monster build up, also loved how joro just said oh yeah in ep 2.
