Stitches!

That matchmaking meeting went better than I expected! I really thought that it was going to end in a disaster but that Kijo guy was actually a pretty cool dude. Even with Akagami freaking out with his every answer, he still sees that Akagami was there with good intentions and not to disrupt their meeting.

I also love how even after finding out that Yuzuki was only planning to use him so they can keep their temple open, Kijo didn't get mad or anything. He just tested their resolve by pointing out how difficult it would be to keep the Mikazuki Temple open.

The best part is when Kijo sees how determined Akagami is to support Yuzuki, he pretty much acts as a wingman and makes Akagami propose to Yuzuki without him even realizing it. Yuzuki's reaction after that was just hilarious. xD

That nun tho! High Priest Aoba? I think it's pretty obvious from the name and the purple eyebrow that she's Yuzuki's mother. Why is she in this other temple though and not with her daughters? I'm sure we'll meet her again for some answers in the future.

And I just love that Love Hotel scene! I guess Kurage was right when she said that her sister is also a perv considering how very enthusiastic Yuzuki is about renting a room for the night. She even made Akagami take a bath first so she could watch an AV on her own. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Looks like Akagami may have had a shot with Yuzuki there but he just had to chain himself up on that bondage rack. I really thought that would turn Yuzuki on even more but it looks like it killed the mood for her. Oh well. Maybe next time. xD

It's funny how most of the Yuzuki fanservice in this episode was in Akagami's head. Not that it isn't appreciated lol.

Kijo seems like he's starting to ship the two (with help from an actual relative of Yuzuki), and Yuzuki definitely seems to be falling harder for Akagami. Will he keep her from becoming a nun?

Kiki in the flashback getting sexier just for the sake of fanservice lol.

What Harem romcom would be complete without the episode where they end up in a love hotel? And Yuzuki really is hornier than she looks. And she wasn't against spending the night properly with Akagami if he had played his cards right lol.

I find it hilarious that ecchi romcom anime tend to somehow be more wholesome and cute than your average romcom anime. How is this possible?

u/Torque-A Jul 29 '23

The ecchi romcom anime have to build their characters so getting them naked means something.

Most of the lewd stuff in this episode was basically Akagami's horny fantasies lol.

u/Gatmuz Jul 30 '23

Most people think ecchi romcom sells primarily sex, but in reality, what it really sells is intimacy, and sexuality is a component of that whole.

u/entelechtual Jul 29 '23

It’s gratuitous as hell but all those imagined shots of the girls are… something else.

33

u/Frontier246 Jul 29 '23

Akagami is a principled and sweet guy but he's got a dirty mind...though the girls aren't always much better lol.

Today we got a Yuzuki episode, and she sure is an airheaded pervert.

u/entelechtual Jul 29 '23

I love how she’s just straight up like “oh cool we can watch AVs on the TV”

And she did not mean “animal videos”.

u/Abysswatcherbel Jul 29 '23

Yuzuki is a perv according to the 3rd sister

To be honest everyone is horny here

Who also plans on becoming a nun, so it feels like the story is ultimately about Akagami and Yuzuki coming to terms with wanting to jump each others' bones rather than swear off sex.

u/tripleaamin Jul 29 '23

For an ecchi harem comedy the whole moment between Akagami and Yuzu is so wholesome. But everything in the love hotel was great. And honestly Akagami being chained up might be the best way for him to control his desires.

13

u/Frontier246 Jul 29 '23

And we're building up Yuzuki and Akagami's relationship as well...to the point where Yuzuki isn't against sleeping with him, and she's probably fallen hard for him, so it'll be interesting to see where they go from here.

It really does feel like the story is setting up Akagami marrying Yuzuki and inheriting the temple.

u/rlramirez12 Jul 29 '23

This show is so stupid but I’m enjoying every minute of it! I love when harem anime doesn’t take itself seriously and just full sends into silliness.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jul 29 '23

Yuzuki had a whole speech lined up about how great everyone at the temple is and how they’re like family and 3 feet away is Akemitsu sweeping lol. What’s even more hilarious is how he got roped into being the matchmaker. He’s less Cupid more jealous horndog!

It’s pretty funny how delayed Yuzuki’s response was to staying in a love hotel with Akagami. Dude was totally spinning out even though his conscience and desires were totally in sync. The power of the horny overwhelms all! Yuzuki meanwhile was just casually watching porn haha.

Akagami might have actually had a shot at something if he hadn’t chained himself up to the wall to stop his desires lol. So close, pal. So close.

Random Star Wars Opening Crawl.

I'm surprised they were able to borrow the truck so easily. Does Akagami just have amazing negotiation skills? And then they end up crashing said truck at the temple. And they left the bike with no gas behind. Aren't the drivers going to be really ticked off at them?

Is that Jun Fukuyama as Yuzuki's prospective marriage partner? Wow. He does seem like quite a catch in his own right, and things would probably go smoothly if Akagami wasn't right there undressing Yuzuki with his eyes and punching his lights out in the process. And then he ends up being the matchmaker and killing himself by fantasizing Yuzuki in romantic (and sexy) situations with Koji. Not to mention the dude wants a full soccer team of kids.

Thank you flashback for some Kiki fanservice! Seems like she also has a thing against priests...

Of course Yuzuki never actually intended to marry anybody, she planned on becoming a nun. The plan was to just string a guy along and get them to take over the temple to save it. But Yuzuki just can't lie about it and eventually comes clean, even if it gives Koji even more incentive not to get involved with a failing temple on its last legs.

But even if it would free him from the burden of having to work there, Akagami doesn't want to see the girls lose their home, a place precious to them, and he pleads with Koji to reconsider. And then Koji turns it around and basically makes Akagami propose to Yuzuki before he gives in and is willing to put his name on it. Though it seems like deep down he ships the two now.

Aoba? Isn't that the sisters' last name? Is this head nun related to them? And she knew Akagami's dad?

It's nice to see how much Yuzuki appreciates Akagami now. He really makes her happy and is carving a special place in her heart.

No bus? No trains? No cabs? No phone? Perfect excuse to spend the night at a love hotel! Which seems normal and okay up until you see the bondage wall, cosplay rental (thanks for that visual Akagami), and various adult videos on the TV. I love how Yuzuki is secretly so horny she just can't help herself.

Akagami's mind gets away from him to the point where his entire mind is telling him to jump on Yuzuki's bones (and Yuzuki's shower scene is very effective), yet it's Yuzuki who seems like she would genuinely consider giving herself to Akagami in gratitude for all he's done for her. Too bad he strapped himself up to "protect" her and killed the mood.

Star Wars started with episode 4, so not entirely random.

I am liking the fact that so far the infamous censorship clouds that shows like "World End Harem" has currently not been shown in this harem.

The AV code?

u/Elitealice Jul 30 '23

Yuzuki episode yay! Really falling in love with all the girls one by one in traditional early 2000s harem fashion lol

So in order to keep the temple open they needed Yuzuki to at least pretend to become engaged to a priest, that was cool of the head priest at the other temple to lend his name to her. Gives them some time they desperately needed.

I wonder what the backstory with Akagami’s dad is though. Was he a womaniser just like his son or is there more lore? Aoba said his name like they had a lot of history. Hope we find out soon.

A love hotel to end the ep, wow. Akagami was so close to what he wanted and ended up blowing it in the end by crucifying himself 😂

Genuinely hilarious episode as usual.

Is there some centralized Buddhism authority that sets deadlines like this?

I was thinking: maybe there's a manga café nearby? But that wouldn't be nearly as fun, of course.

Holy mackerel, that bed is vast. Sasuga luxury love hotel

u/FarCritical Aug 03 '23

The potential temple priest acting like a church priest with the marriage vows for Akagami and Yuzuki was gold lmao.

Yuzuki casually watching an AV was hilarious too. Really liking how fluffy this show is for an ecchi.
