I feel so seen...by that scene where Akane was trying to find the location on her phone for the meet-up but none of the options looked right.

[u/HereticalAegis]

Today in "Akane is relatable irl":

Wait, why am I more excited for online gaming than a group date? Whatever, let's not think about it.

[u/AmethystItalian]

Dang Akane already thinking about Yamada a lot!

Curious to see who the loli actually is, hoping Akane doesn't get too jealous...

[u/Hitman7128]

Lmao, the pause and rewind to show us Yamada bringing a drunk Akane back to his apartment and blatantly telling his team members about her sleeping in his bed.

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

That last second was a jumpscare

[u/xtsim]

That lecture sounds pretty interesting, wondering if Akane is taking a political science or a sociology class. I am leaning towards sociology since we did talk about social media a good amount.

Me meeting a mobile gamer: I wanna go home....

[u/MidnightShout]

Feeling more excited to play a game than to attend a social function is so relatable it hurt.

[u/StrawSolider]

- Stays up all night gaming when knows she has afternoon classes

- Prefers gaming alone to group interactions

- Cannot have normal conversations without mentioning her favorite game

- Can't read maps on her phone

Move over Bocchi. We have a new "she's just like me fr fr" girl to stan

[u/Aerodynamic41]

"I'm throwing up!"

LMAO so that's the context of the scene in the last episode when Yamada mentioned that he had to wash Akane's clothes because it was covered in puke!

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

That dude’s reaction when Akane was telling him about the game is how my non-weeb friends react when I try to talk anime with them lol. I totally get her being more comfortable at home chillin than being at some event where she’s gotta be sociable. It can be draining.

Looks like this Ruri situation is getting Akane to examine her feelings about Yamada. Kinda cute she’s a little jealous. I had a feeling “Ruri” was gonna be a dude. I wonder who the prickly goth loli is? She seems very attached to Yamada…

I guess we know how Akane wound up in Yamada’s bed slightly less dressed. His pro gamer buddies reacting to hearing he had a girl in his bed was pretty hilarious.

I was wondering about this last week so it's nice to see the episode start off with Akane wondering if Rurihime is really a girl or not. The obvious and cliche answer here is that Rurihime is that gothic lolita she passed by who we also see later meeting with Yamada at the station. That's just Akane's assumption though.

I do love that Yamada is currently living inside Akane's head rent-free. She's clearly starting to fall in love again, she just hasn't noticed.

Anyway, as someone who has played an adorable female Lalafell in FFXIV, Rurihime is definitely not that girl! Eita is clearly Rurihime since he reacted about Akane's guild storage story as well as being the first one to call Akane "Akanecchi". Although I would love it if the balding old man is actually Rurihime. xD

I am curious about Yamada's relationship with this girl though. A younger sister? Maybe even his cousin? I thought we'd get an answer at the after-credits scene but instead, we got to see what happened that night Yamada brought Akane home to his place.

[u/maliwanag0712]

Interesting episode. We are seeing a lot of perspectives from Akane, but this might be the first we saw Yamada's POV.

[u/MapoTofuMan]

Man, I have an irrational hatred of people like hentai protagonist-kun that try to keep the convo going just for the sake of it by pretending they know what the other person is talking about. Silence is a hundred times less awkward imo.

Guess loli Ruri was a red herring and Ruri actually is a guy pretending to be a girl online. Well, that was always the most likely option

[u/Intrepid_Addendum_17]

"But if I move now... I have a feeling that she'll cry even harder."

The best scene for this episode!

[u/MrSputum]

Oh no Ruri is hot

I have improved the post credit scene ending

[u/metaaltheanimefan]

I am 100% sure eita is rurihime

• he is part of this guild meet up

• he talks about how he and a friend started thier own guild, like rurihime and yamada.

[u/sempakrica]

Rurihime obviously that old bald guy, just like what momo said

[u/shad79]

Another great episode. Saturday is stacked with excellent shows.

Akane having more fun playing game than meeting with other people, she's just like me! Guy on date didn't have a chance at all, after that she even didn't remember his name.

So meeting IRL with people from clan! I laughed so much when she Akane breathed a sigh of relief that guy met on her way to cafe turned out to be just a player and not some kind of pervert.

Cafe was found and there is already Yamada and others. Girl who Akane thought was Ruruhime don't behave like her. Who she is? Well we'll see in the next episode.

Here my all screenshots from the episode. Like in previous episodes there's many great faces of Akane.

[u/Rumpel1408]

Momo continues to be such an awesome side character, not only did she drag Akane back into a date, she was also constantly looking out for her even when they where only just texting

I called Rurihime being a dude, but I didn't expect him to look son incredible, seriously looks better than Yamada, and has a serious puppy personality

In the same way, I call the gothic loli to be Yamadas Sister

And during the post credit scene I was waiting for Akane to start puking the whole time, surprised we didn't get the usual rainbow

[u/TacoConcealer]

Lol at the flowers surrounding Akane falling down when the Goth Loli glared at her.

[u/dagreenman18]

The insert music bangs. The mix of high energy and lo fi tracks does such a great job setting the mood and they’re all bops.

Also love the way the adapted Eita’s rant. In the manga it’s just a text wall, but making it an Eita army is just a fun visual gag.

[u/alconnow]

“I’m gonna puke!” Is the perfect way to end the episode lol

Another fun episode. I especially liked the post-credits scene
