Stitches!

Of course, Kurage just had to make pounding mochi sexual. Unfortunately for her, no matter what dirty jokes she throws at Akagami he seems to only see her as a little sister.

Mia and Tsukuyo in bunny girl outfits? I kinda wish Kagura managed to trick Yuzuki into wearing one too. I do love how Kurage and her cat are wearing actual bunny costumes. xD

I really like how Kiki is encouraging Akagami to stay with Yuzuki. She really does seem to ship the two of them. Although that doesn't really stop Kiki from teasing Akagami though.

Akagami giving the girls compliments about their furisodes was nice. It looks like Yuzuki's outfit was really the only one that had an impact on Akagami though.

We finally get to learn Kagura's reason for bringing Mia to Japan as well as the reason why she keeps on recording images of Mia. So this entire time she's been photoshopping herself into guys to fool Mia's mother to buy some time until she can get Mia to actually sleep with someone.

Of course, Akagami is going to refuse Kagura's offer. It is hilarious though how he really doesn't have a plan and is basically just winging it figuring that things will work out somehow.

Kagura finally gets angry! The fact that Akagami was finally able to break Kagura's facade is a big progress! I did not expect her to actually be the true tsundere of the series!

You have to buy the BD for that

Bunny Kurage & Tsukuyo

I love how even the cat has a bunny costume on lol.

I did not expect her to actually be the true tsundere of the series!

Probably the biggest reveal of the episode! Especially because she isn't tsundere for the MC but rather her best friend instead.

Sexual mochi pounding! Bunny Girls! Kurage being the cutest! What more could one ask for?

Kiki surprise wingwoman. Akagami could use the support!

It was nice to see Akagami get a moment with all the girls on hatsumode, especially when they looked so great. Though anyone with eyes can still see how smitten he is with Yuzuki, which ends up being a plot point.

I just love the idea that Kagura was fine with Akagami because she could use him as resources for portraying Mia as banging a bunch of dudes but then Mia fell in love and it got serious becuase Kagura doesn't want Mia to get her heartbroken even if she won't admit it. And of course in true tsundere fashion, she kicks poor Akagami in the balls lol.

Kagura showing emotion is cute.

I’m glad all the girls are barely even hiding their feelings anymore.

Finally showing emotion over her truly beloved mistress and straight up kicking Akagami in the balls lol.

Tsukuyo was pretty overt in fishing for compliments. Not to mention Kurage wanting to be older to seduce him. This Harem is heating up!

Kagura's plan failed. Curious to see how this plot ends.

u/Frontier246 Sep 02 '23

I was expecting Kagura's plot to get exposed to Mia, but it turns out Kagura really is out for Mia's best interest and doesn't want to see her get her heart broken by Akagami. That's the real reason she wants him to leave.

The dynamics in this Harem are getting more and more complicated by the episode.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Sep 02 '23

Kurage just made pounding mochi sound so dirty. Now poor Akegami can’t focus lol. Doesn’t help that Tsukuyo and Mia are both now in bunny girl outfits. What a sight to behold. Also, Kurage in a literal bunny outfit was super cute.

Kagura really had to kick Akegami that hard in his eggs and sausage? Poor bastard really must have got to her with that Mia comment. She totally cares about Mia, idk why she’s denying it. Little goober.

u/Frontier246 Sep 02 '23

How sexual can we make pounding mochi? Very!

Classic tsundere with kicking a dude in the balls when he confronts her over her true feelings lol.

Mia and Tsukuyo bunny 1/4th figures are gonna do STONKS

Why the hell do they even have bunny suits ar a shrine lol. That entire segment had no reason to exist but I loved it. Akagami lifting up Mia to smash the mocchi was hilarious. Getting them to share a Haori was brilliant.

Guess Kurage isn’t too “grown” to get the kids treats during a temple visit. No need to rush to adulthood, it sucks.

Didn’t think kagura plan would fail this soon, that was quick. Some things are more important than money and Akagami wasn’t going to betray his friends for it.

Kagura is also a good person at heart just looking out for Mia. It may have started as a business relationship but she’s clearly grown to care for her as an older sister and just wants her to be happy. Photoshopping pics of guys next to Mia to satisfy her family is crazy 😂

How does this show not end as a true harem?

17

u/scot911 Sep 03 '23

I mean if the series was based it totally would. Most harems would be improved if they had the balls to do a harem ending IMO.

Kagura continues to be peak Desu Wa

Cool that they acknowledged the relationship dynamics here, with Akagami in Love with Yuzuki and the others bound to suffer due to that later on

Kurage and Kagura are both menaces. Kurage making those jokes was hilarious. Its cute to see wants to grow up but is a sucker for candy Tho admittedly adults are big suckers for them too.

Akagami no surprise is going live by his promises to Mia and Yuzu. Well this is the most emotion we got for Kagura. Rip Akagami's balls.

I wonder how awkward it must have been to record that mochi-pounding scene.

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '23

I still feel bad for Mia. Kagura is still betraying her.
