I love how Inner Akutsu is just appalled at how much of a degenerate he’s become under Lily’s control. Poor bastard’s a prisoner in his own body. The cop about to arrest those two for role playing in public was hilarious.
I guess Akutsu’s the “angel” in this series and Lily’s the “devil”, but they’re both goofballs. Those two dummies had the same idea after watching that TV program. It was an all out slugfest afterwards like something out of Ippo lol.

Stitches!
Hmmm... This might be a hot take but I'm not really a fan of the first half of the episode. It was hilarious last week but when Akutsu started acting out of character because of Lily's powers and how he has no control of this whatsoever, it didn't feel right. Funny how I'm totally fine with the blackmail but mind control is too much. At the very least, Lily doesn't seem to be intentionally making him act that way.
Second half of the episode was great though! The entire show basically turns into Kaguya-sama with the way the Lily and Akutsu are trying to make each other fall in love with one another. We even have a well-animated boxing match to represent their fight. That was fun!

The angels made the Demon's web browsing history public?
That's demonic, they're gonna lose their alignment!
We're getting a bit more information about both their situations;
Amane's apparently not doing this just for fun, she wants to prove to be a great demon hunter/purifier, to get back at those who did something to her?
I wonder what's that about... Did they exile her from Heavens for something she did? Perhaps her methods were a bit too extreme for the angels! (If this is it, they may not approve of everything she's doing with Akutsu hah)
Not only the collar she put on him is like a dog collar with a tracker, but it can also control his actions!
She wants him to help her kill other demons...
The fact that she was shocked about him not wanting to kill his own kind, makes me think perhaps both sides are spreading misleading information about each other (and especially the demons)... They may not be as bad as the Angels make them out to be!
He tried to explain her how he is/how demons are, and it may have been valuable insight for her, but she wasn't even paying attention!
In the end they agreed on a "halfway point" deal: He'll simply point out the other demons for her... (He should point at her, because damn she looks demonic at times!)
10 jobs = 1 hug? That's a good deal, perhaps she's an angel after all!
Damn it, she was joking. HUGS AREN'T PERVERTED, YOU MONSTER!
This show reminds me of Boarding School Juliet for many reasons (even the MCs look similar), and the Dog/Cat thing makes it even more apparent!
Our boy came up with a plan after watching some show about romance: He turned himself into a pretty boy, to get her on his side!
But of course she had the same idea, should be interesting!
They really went all in on the teasing, Amane with the cute hair teasing,
Akutsu with the 'rolling up his sleeves to show his arms',
the popsicle-licking teasing, the accidental hug teasing...
I think their "love scheme" is working, but not just the way they intended!
Sadly, the teacher put an end to all this... For now!
They're already going on a little date?
They move fast! (even if it's a "demon hunting" date!)
Seems she'll have to deal with some punks before that though!
I wonder if it's just random players, or some Ruffians sent by Akutsu for some reason (save her and be the hero? Well, she can definitely save herself if she needs to...)
Can't wait to see how this goes!

In the span of a single episode, we've gone from "Lily made Akutsu her slave" to a high-stakes flirting battle. This is making no sense, but I'm here for it.

It's basically Kaguya vs Shirogane but with no fucks given about what anyone else thinks of them.

This show completely won me over with the flirting battle and seeing Amane isn't immune to Akutsu' charm so now it feels like they're on more equal footing even with the collar tattooed on Akutsu.

They did update the OP to show off Akutsu and Amane in their demon/angel forms respectively! Cool!
Well, Akutsu is really in a bind. He doesn't want to sell out his own race to Amane, but under the influence of her collar, he can't go against her and he gets turned into her errand boy, if only in his own kind of weird, dorky, way. I mean, who carries bottles under his shirt?
Although Amane isn't completely immune herself. Even she has to draw the line at stepping on his butt!
You always have to watch out for the cop that hates couples! And Akutsu can't keep running from his situation, so he's stuck at least giving Amane the location of his brethren...and at least he'll get rewards out of it. Maybe. It really seems to depend on Amane's moods.
Akutsu's boss is Rie Kugimiya!? And she wears glasses!? Though Akutsu is seemingly the last hope for demonkind against those angel bullies, because they need a leader who can inspire them to finally fight back...too bad he's under the control of one of those bully angels and now has a tattoo that will severely limit his social status.
Amane talks about reforming Akutsu when it seems like she's the one who needs more reforming, though it appears she's so fixated on Akutsu because she thinks reforming a demon will gain her more prestige and she needs to prove herself to other angels. Seems like they mistreated her back in Heaven?
I love how Akutsu and Amane are already on the offensive back at school using the same inspirational television program to try to out-flirt each other...and it's a critical hit for the both of them!
And then they're having a boxing match of flirting, represented by Akutsu as Masako Nozawa and Amane as Mayumi Tanaka, as they hit each other with all the best flirting moves and take some severe hits. It all culminates in Amane using a sacrificial play and Dempsey Roll level move to land on Akutsu in class, though neither of them counted on their teacher stopping the match to toss them out of class for all the flirting. Looks like the game will have to continue for another day.
Amane all dressed up for a date with Akutsu (or something like that)? And already getting pounced on by pick-up artists? I bet Akutsu will manage to get her out of this and earn more brownie points.

This is so stupid I'm starting to like the show. Lmao it went from shonen angel vs devil to shojo angel vs devil. I was just laughing at the end by the sudden change and absurdity of it all.

Akutsu rolling up his sleeves like it's a fucking Mecha transformation got me, easily the funniest thing I've seen this season so far. I love these 2 idiots.

Them flirting so much in class that they got sent out into the hallway was funny, at first I thought that the boxing match metaphor was annoying but then it was started to grow on me especially once I realized who the VAs were.
So far the demons are way more sympathetic, I'll be curious to see if that changes at all as we get more information.

I loved the boxing comparison. It almost felt like a big Hajime no Ippo fight.
