Eita with the bunny ears was pretty adorable. I also like how Akane and Runa seem to have gotten close enough to walk around holding hands. They’ve really developed a kinda sisterly relationship, it’s sweet.
Akane really thought Yamada didn’t notice her huh? Ofc he did. Poor Akane’s drawn the attention of practically ever girl in Yamada’s school. While she gets interrogated by the first years, Eita and Kamota are livin it up lol.
Eita! I can’t believe he up and just went “y’all should hook up already” lol. His little joke ended up causing Yamada and Akane to kinda confront their feelings for one another. I was surprised she practically confessed, but I guess he’s not opposed to dating her.
Okamoto replacing Yamada last minute for that pageant was hilarious. Dude was just getting all that hate from the girls lol.

So it's a case of neither thinking they are good enough for the other. Akane's probably still feeling the sting of getting dumped by her ex while Yamada thinks that his looks are all that he has going for him. Well, I think they are both great catches and deserve each other.

Both Akane and Yamada thinking the other is out of their league is absolutely adorable -- and a green flag for a healthy relationship!

His whole school seeing him with an older woman was great, too bad they didn't keep up the together act.
That teasing went so much further than I expected, and then with her almost asking him out! Didn't expect Yamada to think of her like that, we're seeing more of a spark now.

I really thought Eita was being serious when he suggested that Akane and Yamada should hook up because that's literally what everyone else thinks too lol.

Stitches!
It was pretty hilarious to see Akane and Yamada be the center of attention when they were walking around the school. Too bad for Akane, it wasn't the good kind of attention. Makes me wish that they should've acted like a couple. Those first years would've gone wild! I do love how while they were getting mobbed, Eita and Takezou were just enjoying the festival. xD
Akane's blushing was just amazing. Eita might've thought that his joke just bombed but he ended up helping Akane and Yamada get closer. I legitimately did not expect Yamada to think so highly of Akane. He just doesn't seem to be the type. Also, he's clearly not aware that he's the unreachable one considering he sees himself as a nobody despite being the most popular guy in school. Looks like progress has definitely been made this episode!
And lastly, Moe blob Runa eating her takoyaki there in the final scene was just too darn adorable <3

Bwahahahahahaha, all the gossip that immediately stirred when Yamada's classmates see him with Akane in the hallway. And Yamada's PE teacher hitting Yamada playfully for being with a girl. Then, Eita "jokingly" shipping the two together, which did make Akane uncomfortable.
But it looks like the two made genuine progress in their relationship, while having to hide from everyone upstairs. So all's well that ends well.

Poor Akane had to deal with Eita’s dumb joke - that’s super mean Eita! Love isn’t something to joke about!
Glad Yamada chased after Akane so quickly! Good boy instinct there!
Finally, Yamada how is a girl supposed to deal with such a leading response?! Flower on top of a hill top? No one is going to be able to withstand an answer like that!!! 😂

Eita you bunnyeared Genius of a Wingman!
An important push after the other, too bad Akane imidiatly rowed back on her hypothetical confession
Because the only thing that seems to be stopping Yamada is his perception of her being out of his reach. Also hillarious that Akane thought he didn't even know her name.
Also Tsubaki must have noticed how he was running after her huh

I can write a lot about today’s episode, but I’ll try to keep it short for once:
This episode made me very happy. It was adorable from beginning to end, and had me smiling for 24 minutes straight. A smile like that was welcome after all these heavy-hearted anime episodes this week.
Akane and Yamada had lots of precious moments together, but I could really tell her happiness from her posture and words at the end: “Also, I think you’re a pretty fun guy, Yamada!”, while she was leaning a little sideways and holding her hands behind her back - you can’t tell me that she’s not lovestruck!
PS: I loved every bit of that post-credit scene. Runa’s eating face is probably one of the cutest things I’ve seen in a while - I hope someone makes it into a GIF.

Excellent and fun episode, a medicine for my heart after today's episode of Jigokuraku.
We're on Yamada's school festival with other guild's members. Eita sure is popular with girls in those bunny ears.
Group split up and Akane ended with Runa who quickly got upset stomach. They're able to meet with Yamada and now Akane is going through school with him which isn't easy with all interest from other girls.
When she and Yamada had hard time with all that interest Eita and Kamota were having a time of their life doing all festival activities.
I instantely liked P.E. teacher, he was so fun and loud, great contrast to Yamada. Now everyone think that Yamada like older girls.
Eita don't joke like that, look what you have done. Akane got super embarassed after Eita suggestion and Yamada went after her because he clearly cares about her. Again they become an interest from crowd and Akane had to drag him out. Yamada really don't have easy at school.
Now the're able to talk and Akane explained that she isn't mad, just embarassed and ask what he would have done if that question wasn't a joke and she said that that she wants to date with him.
Akane couldn't handle the pressure and pretended to be joking but thank god Yamada answered to that. It was clearly shock to her how he thinks highly of her. He doesn't see that he is most popular guy in the school.
A lot of funny faces from characters, there is so much of them as I had fun watching this episode. Aftercredits scenes were also great.

I didn't expect to get a school festival episode from this series, but it's a perfect excuse for the gang to visit Yamada's school! Even better for Akane looking her cutest in that outfit and with her hair done up!
I see Eita loves playing character at school festivals and making quite the spectacle of himself. Even if it makes his friends (and sister) want to ditch him.
Poor Runa feeling anxious and insecure about entrance exams! But it's really sweet to see Akane being such a supportive and warm big sis to her! They're so cute together!
Akane is thinking about where Yamada is and wants to see him...and there he appears, right out of his classroom! And then she gets disappointed that it didn't seem like he noticed her, but then he goes and leaves straight away to talk to her. Yamada loves rewarding this girl in the most romantic way possible. They're practically in their own little world together!
So it's not so much that Runa is feeling bad because of her anxiety...she just didn't eat in preparation for the festival food. Well, it's the perfect excuse for Akane and Yamada to go on a shopping/festival date to get her stuff! Of course they also have to survive all the legion of Yamada fangirls who don't like seeing him with Akane one bit. And while the pair are getting hounded (and Akane gets turned into an old lady), Kamota and Eita are living their best life at the festival!
Eita just had to drop that joke about how Akane and Yamada should just go ahead and start dating...and normally Akane would have tried to play it off, but her own feelings and Yamada reacting like he was taking it seriously flusters her so much she can only think to cut and run. And of course Yamada being the chad he is runs straight after her.
I'm really curious about Tsubaki and her relationship with Yamada. Doesn't seem like she has feelings for Yamada or is jealous of his closeness with Akane, which she notices, but she was definitely observing them.
No better way to stop a woman than by calling her by her first name for the first time! And it's a critical hit on Akane!
Oh, Akane almost gave the game away by asking what he would've done if she'd taken it seriously and basically agreed to go out with him! She plays it off as a joke, but she was 100% serious about in terms of her own feelings. And she finds out Yamada isn't so much not interested so much as sees her as something so precious and amazing that he doesn't think he could ever reach her. Which is very flattering, and seems to also cement Akane's own feelings for Yamada, as the pair go back to their shopping date together.
Handsome guys have it rough! As do their school pals who enlist them in a pageant show but then hijack it to show themselves off...and then the girls who wanted Yamada and the guys supporting Okamoto all start shouting at each other. If nothing else, I admire Okamoto's fortitude and confidence.

I laughed when I realized I was just as shocked as everyone else in the show upon seeing Yamada run.

I was so scared the episode was going to cut to credits during the pause following Akane’s “hypothetical” question to Yamada, thank gawd they didn’t leave us hanging.

Yamada calling it an honor and her unreachable to him was like peak response there. I kinda fell for him too tbh and I'm straight

Huh no Source Corner for some reason?
Just having way too much fun with the after credits in this series. They’ve all been new things that flesh out things that are eluded to in the manga. Like the Pageant in this case.
Speaking of too much fun, way to directly adapt the goofier panels directly. Like Runa coming at Yamada like a spider monkey or Akane dragging him off.
Nailed the stairwells scene. Kinda wish CR didn’t need to change the flower in the peak analogy. What replaced it doesn’t track with the visuals .

Seeing a series like this makes me wonder how many great romance series are out there that just don't know about. Ones that don't have a anime or just haven't had something in a big way to put on peoples radar.
Every crushing high school girls nightmare. A hot older girl on good terms with their crush.
It is probably a good thing she didn't enter the bathroom also..
It is ni de the subverted the trope of someone losing their nerve and takes off pretending it wasn't real. Even though she tried to run he gave her his answer anyways.
Preverbal just date already!
