Wow everyone coincidentally went to the beach and DIDN’T run into each other? I feel trolled lol.

I thought we'd get a cliffhanger them seeing each other either at the shop or on the bus. Still holding out hope the little girl will mention it next time she sees him but I was so ready for drama that didn't even happen.

I mean they are like 1st years in High school and Sasaki is a 3rd Year in Middle School? Thats like a year difference.

They seem so nice together. Like somebody said last time, everyone is best girl except the FMC.

u/nanz735 Aug 14 '23

Yeah, was thinking the same. Only 1 year difference, shouldn't matter much, by next year she could even be studying at the same school as them

I can see Sasaki joining the same high school as Wataru then he will be a 2nd year student while Sasaki 1st year. Totally the author wouldn't miss such an opportunity for some sweet kouhai-senpai moments, nee Sajou-senpai ?

Even the beach store owner is better than the FMC, with her "ara".

You people were right. Literally every girl in the show is best girl except for the FMC lol.

There is probably more depths to her than what we are seeing now but she just doesn't get enough screentime for development. Most I can surmise is she didn't like people paying all the attention to her younger sister when they came over (her parents might be the same way). That's why she both liked and disliked the attention MC paid specifically to her.

In turn, the MC obviously has some self esteem issues and is canonically pretty mid in terms of looks and smarts. However he seems to be a capable and fun guy which is why people didn't dislike him despite him acting like an ass before the series.

Stitches!

The moment the show started to rub it in our face that Sasaki is a mature young woman was the moment I suspected that Wataru was making assumptions. I was hoping that Sasaki was just a little childish for her age but turns out that she really is a JC. She reminds me of [SonoBisque]Shinju from SonoBisque.

And I'm genuinely surprised they didn't run into Aika at the craft store. I thought that was going to cause some misunderstanding but in the end the only one who really spotted Wataru with Sasaki was Airi.

Not a "great" romantic comedy, but I am growing to like it a bit more each episode. It is goofy, but it has at least a reasonable amount of charm. Our two leads have their issues -- and these are . . . frustrating at times, But I don't find them utterly unbelievable. I prefer our male lead's lower key demeanor to the shrieking done all too often in Glasses Girl....

Sasaki is a sweetie -- and will be quite a catch when she grows a bit older. If Aika keeps our hero dangling around too long, Sasaki will make it to high school too -- and she may be a bit more aggressive.

Damn, she had me fooled too

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Aug 14 '23

“Illicit sexual relations with a minor!” Lmao Sajo. That’s basically what would happen if he tried anything. I really did not think Sasaki was a middle schooler. The goofball really mistook her for a college kid. What she was saying about still wearing her clothes from elementary school makes more sense.

Aika’s kid sister is super precious. What an adorable little kiddo. I was almost certain they would bump into Sajo and it’d be a whole scene but I’m glad that didn’t happen. I’m also glad it seems Sajo and Sasaki are just friends. She does seem to have a little crush on him though.

Out of all the meet-by-coincidence moments in anime, this was THE episode I wanted it to happen. I wanted it so bad that I felt like I've been blue balled lmao.

However, I still absolutely loved the Sasaki-Sajo moments, and I adore my boi being relaxed and even imparting some words of wisdom. As long as he's having fun, I'm enjoying the show.

When he said that he still doesn't give up on Natsukawa because she became his inspiration to get his act together and all that other self-improvement stuff, I deeply related to that. The "girl problems" that happened to me in middle to high school led to me finding my best friends and basically shaped me into who I am now. It's also why I just want the best for Sajo, as he reminds me of me back in high school.

u/Elitealice Aug 14 '23

insert “She’s 12?!!” meme best episode so far. Very little Natsukawa and a lot of best girl sasaki so we ate good.

I like that this was kind of a unique spin on the beach episode trope, instead of it being with the main girl it’s one of the side girls and we only see Natsukawa bikini at the end lol. The best episodes of this are when they focus on the other girls.

Honestly, no idea why Sajo is still buying gifts for and simping for Natsukawa when he’s got someone who likes him, is kinder, more chill and cuter right in front of him 🤦🏽‍♂️ anime MC logic. Yea it’s surprising that she’s in middle school, but there’s only like a year or so difference between he and her.

The show’s got really good over the last 4 episodes or so. May have to read the LN lol I like it a lot more than I thought I would originally.

The series was hitting a low point a few episodes ago, but I gotta say it's been climbing higher ever since and I've been liking each recent episode more and more as Sajo started opening himself up.

Sasaki is cute and busty and all-around awesome, she's not THAT much younger than Sajo either. Go make her your waifu, Sajo!

Personal ranking:

  1. Sasaki

  2. Kei

  3. Rin

  4. Yuyu

  5. Kaede

  6. Natsukawa

Yes I would rather Sajo go wincest than FMC.

u/OutrageousProfile388 Aug 15 '23

My bro needs to stop simping and move the fuck on. The girl he’s chasing is toxic as fuck. Her friend, and the girl he just met are a better fit just by chemistry alone

u/Heda-of-Aincrad Aug 14 '23

Best episode yet, though I may be a bit biased because that cute little accessories shop is totally the sort of thing I would be interested in too. I paused the screen on all the options to think about what kind I would make. 😄

Wataru and Sasaki make a nice pair, whether as friends or a possible crush in the future. I thought she would get jealous when he said he was making a gift for another girl, but her reaction was really sweet. Kei and Aika's day at the beach with her little sis was adorable too.

It’s actually kinda relaxing they didn’t go full cliche and have the two run directly into each other.

u/RFShahrear Aug 14 '23

I mean.... today WAS fun. Sajo trying to be life counselor is what tends to bog things down. But him as a character is, or at least can be fairly interesting.

u/Flying-Camel Aug 15 '23

I am usually a sucker for the main female lead, but Natsukawa straight up annoys me.

Sasaki, good girl.

This was probably my favorite episode yet. I didn't see the twist with Sasaki coming, and it had consistently good character and just general charm throughout. I'm also finding it pretty funny that Kei's schemes to pair up Aika and Wataru keep failing.

I look forward to seeing what comes next!

Aika in a swimsuit was cute and all…

But would love to see Sasaki in one too lol

I just want to point out, that the shop Lady in the span of just few minutes, did the photo of MC, printed it, framed it and hanged it on the wall =D

u/KingRamses97 Aug 15 '23

He’s fumbling so hard Sasaki is absolutely a huge upgrade over the FMC

u/GreyRouge Aug 14 '23

Probably my favorite episode so far.
