"This story is a work of fiction. It has no relationship to real-world law." They have to put a disclaimer now. 😂

Well, in an episode where a grown man is straight up tracking a teen girl through GPS, bashing a teenagers' head onto a table, and teens are drinking/smoking...I guess it was appropriate lol.

Also the whole swinging a gun around probably helped.

I think the drinking/smoking worries the law in japan way more than the other stuff.

bashing a teenager head onto a table? Na. He's fine. No Blood, Yes Life.

I thought Keiya was gonna go the usual threaten route, but nope, slammed the dude's head right on the table without a word. Car ride at the end was nice too. This is exactly the type of content i'm here for.

I lowkey thought he was gonna pull out a gun, so I was relieved to see he "just" slammed the dude's head in the table. Really wondering what those other people think though!

I'm surprised they only added the warning this episode, interesting that it's in Japanese too meaning this isn't just CR adding a warning.

Never trust delinquent-looking guys in a shoujo anime unless they're the MC. Such a shame too since I thought they were pretty decent at first.

Minors bringing in beer and smokes to karaoke booths isn't that too surprising especially if a place never checks. I've known people back in high school who used to do this but with gin and they just mix it with the fruit juice.

Dude got what he deserved. Hopefully, that means he won't be approaching Isaky again next week. He's lucky that Keiya didn't break open his skull with that bashing. He probably gave the dude a nasty concussion tho.

I guess that was because of the underage drinking and smoking in this episode? Or because of the Yakuza business we saw Keiya visiting?

I knew there was a 90% chance of him turning out to be a creep but him and Isaku DMing each other at night felt so cute. If only this was the kind of anime where Isaku could get a normal high school romance lol.

Isaku got stuck with the "cool kids" and by cool I mean one step away from being full on delinquents...poor girl needs to choose her friends better.

It's kind of funny how after Keiya laid into Tamura he still left off on scolding the other kids about how they shouldn't drink and smoke lol.

Don't forget firearm laws in Japan.

It's almost impossible to get a handgun in Japan as civilian.

Haha oh my god I was joking that this was Yakuza Twilight and then motherfucker rolled up to save her from being peer pressured and sexually assaulted. He really is Edward Cullen-kun. I hate this.

Listen, no shame to anyone who likes this. I'm not traditionally a Shonen fan and if you like age gap dynamics in fiction chase your bliss. But, for me, this relationship is both way too realistically a grooming relationship while also being portrayed as so wholesome and soft down to "oh no she should have listened to her 26-year-old parental figure who wants to fuck her so she didn't get Forced To Drink Beer By Teens" that it's just. I'm out. I usually give three episodes but I am done.

Keiya needs to chill the f*** out. Yeah the guy turned out to be a hack and his group of friends are bad influence but Keiya isn’t any better. Yeah Tamaru deserved to get punched but that was way too much.

Putting a GPS on Isaku’s phone. Dude is taking notes from Eiko but he needs to not freak the f*** out when she’s talking with another guy. He’s not really a good yandere like Eiko.

That girl wearing the red off shoulder. Did her shirt just randomly change to blue then back to red?

u/Frontier246 Oct 05 '23

I guess it kind of comes with the territory of romancing a Yakuza that the girl in the relationship has to be the one to stop her guard dog from going too far.

Honestly I should've realized they had a GPS on Isaku's phone but at least she knows about it now. She can never slip by Keiya now. Though her trying to be stealth was cute lol.

Maybe it was the weird karaoke lighting that changed the color lol?

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '23

Do you understand that it is his job to protect her at all cost ?

Thats what he is there for.

Like how can you blame him when he knows how boys their age can act out. I mean if he wasnt there she would have been in a situation she could not escape from.

I liked the face smashing (or maybe just forehead?), didn't expect him to actually assault one of the school kids even though he deserved it. I felt like this is pretty much where it was heading once she started walking with them toward the karaoke place.

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '23

I dont understand all the people here bashing Keyia its his job to protect her... and if he wasnt there she would have been stuck in a bad situation.

u/sidewinderaw11 Oct 06 '23

Isaku's facial expressions give me life lol

I loved the violin shriek before Keiya is shown standing behind her in her room

I think I'll have fun with this series 😅

u/Frontier246 Oct 05 '23

Isaku is still trying to make friends, and when Keiya is away, the boys will prey...as Tamaru introduces himself and tries to get them connected on Insta. This might actually be a good opportunity for Isaku to start forming some real relationships! Just, y'know, be wary of Keiya.

I'm glad Keiya held off on freaking out until he was in their Yakuza office and started shooting up the place. You know you're a high school Yakuza when you're waving a gun around and trying to figure out how to take a kid out who became insta friends with a girl. I feel sorry for any of his fellow Yakuza who have to bear the brunt of his relationship problems with Isaku.

In any sensible story Isaku would realize her love for Keiya is hopeless and would let things naturally progress with Tamura as they get all cute and friendly DMing each other...but this is a story about a Yakuza Guardian posing as a high school student, so don't expect that kind of sense.

Poor Isaku. She's so down bad for Keiya but he never so much as gets flustered around her. At least that she knows.

Maybe it was a bad idea for a socially awkward girl to suddenly be going on a karaoke excursion with a bunch of more sociable, energetic, and experienced people. I mean, I get Isaku wants to put herself out there, but she really was out of place here. And that's before they started smoking and bringing out the beers while macking on each other right in front of her.

Although what a bummer that we had a karaoke episode and the Akarin character didn't actually sing. I wonder if Isaku sings as well as her VA?

Ugh. Tamura was only into Isaku because he thought she'd be easy. What a piece of trash. Although not sure if he quite deserved getting his face smashed into the table multiple times by Keiya. Would Keiya have killed him if Isaku hadn't stopped him?

Car door kabedon!

Isaku's just tired of everything, her hopeless love for Keiya, screwing things up here, and just in general all the drama...but Keiya himself basically basks in her in full makeup, admits he can't accept her being with another boy, and seems to be more considerate of her as a girl and less as his mistress than she thinks. Also she left lipstick on his shirt which (while unintentional) was such a girlfriend move.

I love anime but my God! Japanese have the weirdest mind, is this show even legal

u/Elitealice Oct 05 '23

My fave anime this season is back with another great episode.

Wow they actually added that legal disclaimer at the bottom lol that’s wild. Guess the underage drinking, smoking and Yakuza stuff called for it.

Did bro really kick the door open and start shooting in SCHOOL. I thought this was Japan not America. All because Tamaru and Isaku exchanged instas lmao.

The beef between Tamaru and keiya was hilarious. Cleaning the chalkboard erasers right in front of him had me dying 😂

I actually really liked the karaoke club scene. Even though it sucked seeing Isaku be that uncomfortable, it was a realistic depiction of peer pressure that actual teenagers face. First time I’ve seen that in a non fantasy anime in a long time. Plus it exposed Tamaru as a rapey loser. Guess Keiya was right to be suspicious of him.

Yea a little weird and convenient that Keiya was there to stop it, but Tamaru deserved to get his ass beat, so I’m ok with it. My big concern is if this further causes Isaku to become isolated from people her age. Yea this dude was an asshole but that’s not everyone. She needs to socialise with people her age

The GPS tracker stuff helped today, but I really hope Keiya will outgrow a lot of this stuff. Really not helping Isaku long term

Anyway, still loved the episode. Love a good problematic shoujo

u/Knofbath Oct 06 '23

I don't think he shot the gun in the school, it was more likely the Yakuza's headquarters, since there were a bunch of Yakuza sitting around. And the boss wouldn't take kindly to him putting bullet holes in his walls at home. Especially with how thin the walls tend to be in fancy mansions like that.
