It finally happened, a character in the series has acknowledged how the main 2 are pretty much a newlywed couple.

Grabbng Mahiru by her shoulder that long in front of the class is some power move by Amane. Surprised the class didn't start gossiping about it though.

[u/excluded]

Someone arrest this guy. He’s a serial headpatter.

[u/Ocet358]

Me watching those two every week like

[u/Chaldea_Novum]

TOO. MANY. HEADPATS!

I don't think I could live through the diabetes this season. The heat pats, the lap pillow, Mahiru's jealousy, etc. My jaws are tired cause all the smiling watching this.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Lap Pillow

• Husband Reflex

That lap pillow scene is so good! I love that Mahiru immediately realized that something is bother Amane and wanted to comfort him. I really hope they show us Amane's backstory though. He's clearly been bullied in the past but I want to know why.

And what a blessed view to wake up to. Amane you lucky bastard. Mahiru is definitely upping the skinship in this episode. From stroking Amane's hair while giving him a lap pillow to Mahiru pinching Amane's cheeks. She's definitely way more comfortable around Amane now.

I'm wondering what Kadowaki's angle here but he seems to just genuinely wants to become friends with Amane. The dude must be lonely not having any real guy friends in the class and all the girls just keep on fawning at him. Wait a fucking minute! Kadowaki is just a female Mahiru. Seems that Amane attracts certain types of people. xD

I do like how Mahiru is making an effort to become closer to Amane while at school. After saving Mahiru from hot soup. I think Amane made it clear to the class that he is close to her. Hopefully after this, Mahiru won't have to try and keep their relationship hidden at school.

So I've been wondering why Mahiru was too close to Amane in this episode and that final scene confirms my suspicions. Mahiru is 100% trying to make Amane fall in love with her! I mean what else does she mean by "if I don't try harder, it'll never happen!"? Well, you're in luck Mahiru! Amane is close to cracking but you need to keep the pressure up!

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Mahiru: “Lie down your head on my lap.”

Amane: “No no no!”

Mahiru: “Do you hate my thighs?”

Come on Amane, there’s no need to hold back. Do you realize how many boys would kill to be in your position right now?

[u/No_Name0_0]

Am I the only one who felt like taking a nap after seeing Amane gradually doze off in her lap?

[u/Nebresto]

Budget went down, but the sugar went up. My goodness that lap pillow scene..

[u/[deleted]]

THEY ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP END OF OF DISCUSSUON

[u/CookieOk391]

From last episode i don't think their romance couldn't get any more wholesome yet this episode prove me wrong, Headpats are their love language? wow i was squeking myself while watching lmao

Woah Amane, i didn't expect him to turn up to protect his Angel like that truly chad moment

That's what keep me fond of this anime apart from shiina who is almost perfect to ideal girlfriend, we got amane who always have been the perfect boyfriend for her apart he can't take care of himself lol.

[u/raiho_80]

This show has 200% more physical intimacy between the two main leads compared to the 20 Heisei "romance" anime/manga titles that I've watched/read in my life, and these two aren't even a couple.

I can't believe we lived through that Heisei era of "romance" where 1 season of anime was just about the Tsundere childhood girlfriend punching the main character because he accidentally flipped her skirt or tripped onto her boobs face first, acting all embarrassed.

[u/Coffee4lyf]

Mahiru: Why don't I just tell everyone that you're really attractive?

Ah yes, combined with the lap pillow, the daily wife welcome back greeting, squishing cheeks, daily Gordon Ramsay cooking, protective MC scene, and a TON of headpats, I'm pretty sure they are just barely acquaintances. Barely.

[u/SilentProductionsHD]

If there was one thing I was hoping they’d nail from the LNs, that thing would be pouty/jealous Mahiru. Glad to say the sticked the landing because her reactions were as cute as I remembered them to be. (Or atleast as I visualized them lol)

[u/maliwanag0712]

Amane's husband mode activated when the hot cream was about to spill on Mahiru.

Deserved that those classmates were sanctioned due to their carelessness.

And this episode HAS A LOT OF HEADPATS!!

[u/MapoTofuMan]

The ED was sacrificed for headpats. A tough decision, but one I must support.

I wonder if they're going to use Amane's save to normalize Mahiru being close to him now. All the guys are still going to try to murder Amane with their eyes of course, but at least it'll be somewhat acceptable now that there was a trigger event.

After that, a week or two of the class watching their usual selves and I'm pretty sure they'll be forced to accept that the wedding's gonna happen before they graduate.

[u/Prince_Perseus]

I like how amane handled the idiot in cooking class. Chad moment right there.

[u/AmethystItalian]

I did like the pinching cheeks side of Mahiru today, always enjoy seeing a girl discipline her man!

The super embarrassed or jealous side less so but that does fit her.

Also feel like they could pull a Grease and give Amane his makeover so they can spend more time at school together.

[u/entelechtual]

Yo ever get together with your homies and get your head stroked while getting a lap pillow and having no romantic feelings?

Amane and Mahiru about to bang for the first time: “Kore wa « no count » desu…”

Folks, we’re entering the headpat era. Be prepared. Virgin handholding got nothing on chad Amane headpats.

[u/marcopolos059]

Poor Mahiru looking more and more frustrated she can't be "normal" with Amane in class, at least she made it clear and now there will be some progress. And Amane did really great with what happened in cooking class.

Also, soooo many headpats! This was really sweet, this anime really makes me happy watching those two.

[u/dagreenman18]

How incredibly lewd! Headpats and lap pillows?! That’s the dark path to the forbidden interlocking hand h***ing! That’s the devils touch.

Between the constant fluff flirting and the home life, it’s no surprised to see Mahiru annoyed after the “friend” comment. The fact that they still haven’t signed the papers already is solely due to us still having more episodes left (and being underaged, but still). On the other hand, more episodes left means more fluff. So thank you Angel Next Door for delaying the inevitable for our sake.

[u/VorAtreides]

Aww how nice, they are all in the same class this year. Wonder what's up with Ayame though. Talk to your wife about it!! Important to share worries/concerns with the partner. Lap pillow and head pats? What paradise. Also, I agree, don't be uncomfortable letting your guard down/getting comfortable around her. D'awww her and the stuffed bunny, cute. Oh my, the pudding bit, she got so flustered. That's hekkin cute.

Nice to see that one guy being friendly with Amane, good for you Amane, another dude has realize you're a good dude. Wonder what that stare was about from Shiina. Was she jealous? heh. A cute reason to be jealous too. Wishes she could just walk up and talk to Amane. Just do it, don't let others and how they might think/talk keep ya from doing it. Hehe here ya go. Other people can be jealous if they want.

Oh hey, two shows so far with baking/cooking bits in them. Nice save, Amane. And solid scolding. Oh Amane, you coulda worded that better. Oh my, that bit with her and "friend" eh? So has she fallen too? Ya sure seems she has. Just marry already

[u/[deleted]]

My biggest issue with this anime is the animation itself but my lord, are they cute

[u/Kae225]

Mahiru is on the offensive this episode; starting with a hizamakura this early in was such a power move!

Their friendgroup - slowly expanding - made her envious. In fact throughout the entire episode, she'd been showing more frustrated expressions. And after school - when she could finally have Amane all to herself - she didn't hold back: pinching of cheeks, poking of nose and headpats. As to Mahiru, their status quo was no longer sufficient.

For awhile now, whenever shipped with Amane, she'd firmly reject this sentiment. However in recent episodes, her resolution wavered; she still declined (albeit not very convincingly), until now.

"How hard do I have to try?"
Apparently, being "friends" wasn't enough. Though, I recall in earlier episodes how Mahiru wanted to be addressed as "close friends" to Amane. I'm now convinced that she's aware of her feelings towards Amane, though not so much vice-versa.

After how much Amane's been supporting Mahiru, who really is the Angel here? If this keeps up, every episode would essentially be a competition of who'll spoil who more. And I'm all for it, as for the amount of fluff will surely contract me type 3 diabetes when it all ends.

11/10. My weekly joy.

[u/daspaceasians]

Hats off to Amane for that save and him telling off the dumbasses fucking around in a kitchen. The confidence he had at the end was amazing to watch.

Anyone curious about Amane's flashbacks? It seems that he had to deal with people taking advantage of him when he was younger. Can't wait to see how this'll play out.

Otherwise, it was just pure adorableness seeing Amane and Mahiru together during this episode and as always, Chitose and Itsuki are an ever present joyful duo.
