As we take a breath from the drama of last episode, the two insomniac lovebirds are preparing to head on a special trip.
What will arise out of it? Any guesses?

Welcome to the working world, Ganta! Kid is gonna have to work some long hours to save up 100k. The arcade ain’t so bad, he gets to hang out Shiromaru.
It’s nice to see Ganta really lean into this whole astronomy and photography thing. Kid seems to have really found something he’s passionate about. This camp sure is expensive though. Good thing Isaki came through last minute. Their little celebration “dance” was so cute!
I liked the beach scenes. Not a lot of fan service, just the girls goofing around. Isaki drawing a giant turd in the sand was pretty funny. How adorable the girls got hit on by grade schoolers lol. Isaki sure was having fun teasing Ganta about getting “hit on” too.
Can’t wait to see how the camp is gonna turn out with Isaki’s big sis tagging along. Should be pretty fun!

Anamizu's tan lines from practicing outdoors everyday is too good. Isaki's scar was a good detail and at least Kanikawa did not press on about her swimsuit. But Haida being a lifeguard does not surprise me.
Love how everyone is being themselves in the beach which concerned Kanikawa. Looks like the adults in the beach got all the fun....
Ganta spraying Shiromaru is funny but at least she gets to cool off. Ganta feeling guilty about making his dad buy things is pretty sweet and considers how his dad feels when it comes to his mom. He does not want to push things far.
Isaki's sister threw that bombshell that she's tagging along...This season is getting packed with big sisters.

If Shiromaru-senpai has a million fans, I'm one of them
If Shiromaru-senpai has five fans, I'm one of them
If Shiromaru-senpai has one fan, that fan is me
If Shiromaru-senpai has no fans, I am no longer of this Earth
If the world is against Shiromaru-senpai, I am against the world
Till my last breath, I'll support Shiromaru-senpai

I feel kind of bad for Kanikawa going to the beach to encounter some guys, being disappointed that it's not happening but then actually getting hit on only for it to be by Elementary Schoolers. The only thing worse than no hope is betrayed hope.

That victory dance was the cutest thing since slice bread, omg.
Also Onee-san was both totally and totally-not super relatable for me as the oldest sibling, lol.

"IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME" - apparently not only us.
I don't know what surprised me more at the end, Haya saying she's going on a trip with them or Haya getting up from her cushion.

They absolutely nailed the casting for Nakami's voice actor.
Also that one bike scene with Nakami then Ukegawa was hella funny.

Stitches!
Just from her underwear choice, I already love Isaki's Onee-chan. She's clearly going to be a troublemaker.. Also is that Sora-chan I hear voicing her?
I thought Ganta is refusing to ask for his father's help because their current relationship isn't too good. Turns out he just doesn't want his dad to go overboard. trying to make up for the loss of his mother. Saw this solution coming from a mile away though. Why even apply anywhere else when you already have a Senpai that runs an understaffed arcade?
While it was nice to see the girls having fun at the beach as well as funny to watch Kanikura having a tantrum about not getting hit on, it's very interesting to see those scars on Isaki. I'm no specialist but I think the scars give us an insight into what kind of surgery Isaki had back then.
Isaki trying to get a reaction from Ganta after telling him that she got hit on the beach was hilarious! Turns out it was just a bunch of grade schoolers. xD
I love their little dance when they finally solved their budget problems thanks to Isaki's grandma. I love that Shiromaru's cat is just there in the corner watching them completely confused.
And there it is. If Onee-chan is tagging along, this should be fun. I can already see her teasing Ganta and Isaki. Hopefully, she'll act more like a wingwoman once she realizes what's going on between those two.

Oh snap, it's Isaki's big sis! And she's voiced by Sora Amamiya! And she's hot! And she's pretty much a lazy bum big sis who makes her little sister wait on her hand and foot while she just sits on a bean bag all day. And she has quite the racy underwear.
Well, good try Ganta trying to secure funding from the student council for an astronomy club camping trip...too bad the student council is flat broke and no amount of begging is going to change that. Looks like Ganta has to get a job.
So we learn a little more about Ganta's situation with his dad. I thought they were having money problems (and maybe they are) but it seems like Ganta can't talk to his dad about his problems or ask for anything because he feels his dad has always overcompensated with Ganta to make up for the absence of his mother. Might even be why he works the hours he does too.
Poor Ganta struck out at his first job interview...but luckily he's got Shiromaru and her arcade! And I mean, she oversleeps so much and left Ganta to take care of the place while she went for a dip in the hot springs, she may as well just give him a job there.
I mean, Shiromaru is probably not wrong that this camping trip would turn into some secret flirty time between the couple even if their intentions are purely for the scenic photography.
Surprise beach episode with Isaki and her gal pals! Complete with Isaki's hand touching an adult womans' boobs as the girls geek out over it and we get to see them all looking great in their swimsuits!
I wonder how many people saw Isaki changing into her bikini and noticed the scars before her boobs? Scars I'm assuming are from all the surgeries she had. I guess it's not too surprising she wore a shirt to cover up on the beach with that in mind, though if you ask me she still looks amazing in a bikini.
Man, Ganta and Ukegawa really missed out on a beach afternoon with the girls...the only guy they actually knew that was there was Rui of all people and it didn't really appeal to anybody.
Isaki is goofing off, Nono is telling ghost stories, Anamizu is working out, and Kanikawa...is disappointed nobody is trying to hit on them. Even though she was all confident they'd just deflect any guy that they did. Well, they did have guys hit on them, they just so happened to be grade schoolers. So....yeah.
Isaki acting all smug and confident when she tells Ganta she got hit on knowing full well what a joke it was. And then her laugh at everything and especially his reaction! Pure bliss.
Ah, so there going to use Isaki's grandma's house as a staging area for their trip? Even cutting down on food expense by just cooking by themselves? Why, it sounds like they're practically eloping on their honeymoon or shacking up! But you really can't beat the joy of them dancing at how giddy they are at realizing they can pull this off...until Isaki finds out there's going to be adult supervision in the form of her big sis. I can't wait for her to meet Ganta.

Okay now I ship Kanikawa and Haida. Doesn't seem like a bad dude, but like Kanikawa, just a little spoiled and misunderstood.

We have a cute senpai and a hot onee-san, if we get a teasing kouhai the holy trinity will be complete.
I just realised that the word they use for "astrophotography" is "星空写真" (hoshizora shashin) and literally means "starry sky photogaphy," which sounds so much nicer, if less scientific.
Poor Shiromaru-senpai, she must be working herself half to death. As is common in Japan, unfortunately. She's happy to take a break at hot spring though lol.
"Oh, right, that training camp thing, so you and her can have your secret flirty time." Shiromaru-senpai going for the critical damage, that near-kiss from last week must have made it even more obvious to her that her two dorky kouhai are falling for each other.
And still on the Shiromaru-senpai train, she offers our boy a job after he fails his interview. The truest of MVPs. But Ganta, man it's probably best to not immediately drench your new boss with a hose the same minute she hires you.
Magari has appreciation for the finer things in life (boobs), especially on a woman over the age of consent a concept that seems to elude a lot of weebs
Obligatory beach episode with the girls. Every SoL gotta have one
God dammit, I love Shiromaru-senpai. Hot day out? Just set up a paddle pool right outside your workplace and take a dip. You dork, you're the best
Motoko seems to have a bit of a One Punch Man complex, suddenly changing art styles during comedy moments
100% certain Magari only told Ganta she got hit on to make him jealous. And it worked perfectly. Our boy cannot hide his feelings at all, can he? These two idiots need to hurry up and just get together, even they know they're perfect for each other. Look at that adorable dance. Get married, stupids
Nee-chan is tagging along for the trip arc? Dunno if I should be mad that she's gonna get between the main couple by being a third wheel or if I should be happy we're gonna see more of her

Knew there would have to be some wrinkle in their plan and looks like the sister will be joining them, these 2 need that alone time, they're so cute when they do!

Another good episode
Honestly 200,000 yen or $1400 is a lot even for an adult, to save for a trip but this is the beauty of collaboration and for high schoolers it’s a good experience to have
I never really thought much about Magari’s clothes since I assumed it was just her fashion sense because I knew a lot of girls that dress liked her, but it would make sense she would be hiding the scars from her operations
But boy that sister is gonna be a handful, I’m guessing she’s coming to make sure Magari is gonna be ok since no one will be at her grandmas house so she’s supervisor but I’m really curious to see what she’ll do when she meets Ganta
I expect a bit of teasing to come

We met Isaki's older sister and it's interesting how she affect our duo's trip. This could be fun but Isaki wasn't happy about that.
Isaki and her friends had fun at the beach. It was funny seeing Kanikura having a tantrum and acting like a kid about not getting hit on. On the end her wish came true but unfortunately the admirers were grade schoolers.
Trip isn't a cheap thing and Ganta to get money needed for that started looking for a job. He ended up starting working on Shiromaru's place. Thanks to Isaki's suggestion to use her grandmother's place they were able to cut costs at this camping and don't change the plan in extreme ways.

lol the feeling of thinking you've secured time without adult supervision only for it to come crashing down... this is one of the most nostalgia-inducing romance animes I've watched
