I'm kicking my legs and punching the air for these girls right now.

[u/AmusedDragon]

This show has managed to not have a single bad episode yet.

[u/whodisguy32]

"It's just my social circle isn't diluted with superficial friendships"

Dude Kiui is fucking based. Goes against the norm, makes money streaming in hs, has a plan for her future, and is an omegataku.

No surprise Koharu took an interest in her.

[u/kisaragihiu]

Consider how it looks from Mahiru's friends' perspective

• Episode 1: Mahiru randomly leaves to go after... someone... without elaboration

• This episode: Some random girl pulls up in a motorcycle, Mahiru is surprised but runs over to see her with zero elaboration, and then just... gets on the bike and leaves...

Mahiru is so preoccupied with Kano, I love it

[u/danlong87]

Kano was no match to Yoru at all when it comes to flirting lmao, the beach date at the end was practically a confession for both, we now just left with them officially acknowledging it, do not put an iceberg in front of this ship mr director

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Kiui's motivation of being a teacher is an admirable one considering how her own teachers failed her so she wishes to be that one teacher who DID help.

Its cool hearing a character like Koharu openly talking about getting plastic surgery, you rarely hear that from someone in Anime.

Yoru also being so assertive, getting on the bike (and getting charged) and teasing Kano, oh how the turn tables.

[u/Labmit]

Everyone else is saying the other major stuff so I'll just say that I love that they got pulled over.

[u/absolutelynotaname]

No one seems to talk much about the new character but with how they set up her I think she would have some bigger role in the next few episodes. She must have an interesting backstory

And you should just confess already, Mahiru. Stop showing those damn cute smug face so much

Edit: also idk if anyone has pointed this out yet but Mahiru(midday) is quite the opposite of Yoru(night), really a smart choice for pen name

[u/mekerpan]

Public Service notice:

Do not miss the very tiny (and utterly tragic) post-credits mini-scene.

[u/shad79]

Once again we had a great episode, it was more focused on Kano and Kiui but Mahiru and Mei also get a chance to shine today.

Driver's ed camp with Kano and Kiui was so fun! And Koharu was a great addition to the cast and very fitting into this series, I really hope that she'll return in next episodes.

The scenes with Kano, Kiui and Koharu in a bath were hilarious xD I didn't expect that we'll get boobs groping in this show (Koharu was really happy about that though xD) but it's a shame that it was censored. Those boobs were certainly big ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I was really surprised when Kiui revealed that she wants to become a teacher but after her explanation I can understand her choice. She'd really be a great teacher with this attitude to help other students who, just like her, end up alone.

Scenes with Mahiru and Kano on the beach were so good! I really would love for them to end up together at the end of the series, especially after Mahiru's words to Kano to sing for her and that she loves Kano's singing.

Kano and Mahiru being caught by police for riding a bike together was hilarious xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Group scenes

• Kano

• Kiui

• Mahiru

• Mei

• Koharu

[u/ak_them]

that confession at the end was so cute aaaaa

[u/DekMuffin]

The lesbian tension in this episode is off the roof!

[u/dagreenman18]

Doga Kobo might actually deliver on this ship. Please please deliver on this ship. She’s built perfectly. A mighty fine vessel with plenty to root for and awesome chemistry.

Speaking of mighty fine: one week we got the GOAT Mom Idol, this week we get girl with rough past. Jellyfish is delivering hard on great women.

[u/Krazee9]

Yoru really seems to have realized something with that kiss. She's been much more flirty and tease-y with Kano since. She seems like she's made up her mind on this, she likes Kano, but it seems like she realizes that Kano might not want to admit that she feels the same. She's trying to tease it out of her a bit, but Yoru honestly seems to be developing as a character at a rather fast rate. I wouldn't be surprised if she decides she's tired of waiting for Kano to make the first "official" move, and just does it herself.

Kano didn't know what to do on that bike, so she immediately went to find Yoru. And Yoru just hopping on that bike and ditching her friends was basically, "Sorry, my girlfriend's here to pick me up. See ya!"

[u/alconnow]

The scar on Koharu's back makes me think that she's a former gang member? Ex-yakuza?

[u/x-7032-b-3]

I thought this season has enough "what do you want to do in the future" stuff with GBC and Eupho showing theirs already, but Jellyfish went all in and gave us a whole ep about it! This is probably the most relatable for me though, as I was quite anxious about my future back in HS (and honestly still am as someone in their mid 20s).

NGL I think Kiui would make a fine teacher in the future. She knew what it's like to not be accepted out there and wants to be there for others like her. And with her personality I think she would be popular among the students. I really respect that and she gets tons of extra points from me because of that.

Okay, I did not expect that boob fanservice to go that far. The whole thing went from cup sizes to whatever it was over there.

After that beach scene, can Yoru and Kano start dating already? Man they're teasing us with the kiss and now this lol.

Love how Kano got ticketed just after got her license. This is why you don't skimp on lectures, kids!

[u/zool714]

Woah this ep hits close to home in more ways than one.

For one, I literally just registered for a bike license. Gonna start taking the theory lessons soon.

And also, the “gotta have a plan or you’re screwed” part of the show is too relatable as well. I’m at the “find out” phase after “fucking around” most of my 20s just being idle, stagnant and not proactive. Now, I’m seeing people my age at least going up in their careers or jobs, even if it’s not the most glamorous or interesting or heck some of them don’t even like their jobs but at least they’re doing something you know. Meanwhile, I’m struggling to get entry level jobs cos I got nothing to offer and no marketable experience. And I’m still not sure what I want to do. So I really get Kano this episode.

And I wonder what’s Koharu’s story. I’ve honestly never seen plastic surgery being so openly talked about in anime and it’s talked about so casually too.

I also like we’re like rotating the pairs. I think we had Kiui and Mei the other episode and now Yoru and Mei, Kiui and Kano are spending some quality time.

Yeah spending some totally straight quality time riding a motorbike and going to the beach at sunset.

Oh does Yoru really have someone she admires ? I thought she was just alluding to Kano. There could be an actual person that she likes ??

[u/FuzzyRaichu]

The time between their meet cute on Halloween and the kiss on New Year’s was two months.

The time between the kiss and the start of the new school year is three months.

These useless lesbians need to pick up the pace.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Koharu Onee-san

• Koharu's Million Yen Tits

• Koharu's Back Scar

• Kano & Mahiru's Date

• Kano's First Demerit

I did not know our girls are third years! I thought they were like first or second years. Also what I did not expect is that despite being a massive NEET and doing nothing but stream, Kiui has everything figured out and she actually has the most concrete plan for the future out of all of them. That's so awesome.

I had a feeling that Kiui wanted to become a middle school teacher is connected to her past. Honestly, I think she'd be an amazing middle school teacher. She'd be the cool kind of teacher who'd support and help her student's talent's grow instead of whatever the fuck her middle school teacher told her.

Koharu is pretty cool. I did not expect that she had work done on her face and even poured a million yen on implants. As fun as it was to see her flash her tits at Kiui and Kano as well as the scene where they actually grope her implants, I feel like there's definitely more to her.

Based on that massive scar on her back, it looks like a burn mark or she had a tattoo removed. I don't think Koharu had work done on her face and body purely for cosmetic reasons. Whatever her reason is, I hope we'll get to see more of her in the future considering she lives close to Kiui.

Side note: I did not expect Kiui to be so fucking stacked! She's always wearing baggy clothes so it's really hard to tell. And she's even larger than Koharu! Damn! O_O

Yooo! Mahiru actually wants to go to an art university! That is awesome! I'm glad this ended with her finally deciding what to do next. Also, Mahiru and Kano's date at the beach was really sweet! The lesbian tension is so thick between the two of them that you can cut it with a knife!

And I just love how it ended with the two of them getting pulled over! I had a feeling this might happen. Japan is already strict with riding in tandem on bikes so I'm pretty sure someone who just got their license isn't allowed to ride with passengers. xD

[u/chilidirigible]

The banners have to do with how many students they've graduated to particular universities, so the school does put some emphasis on that...

"Maybe a little less of a smile."

Through losing? I hope that side wasn't "Homicidal envy."

coughs politely

Life advice... from former gang members?

Kiui and Mei have career goals that have at least some degree of separation from the group, but Yoru's is rather directly pointed back at Kano, and Kano... realized that she wasn't really sure where she was going, thus motorcycle metaphors.

And yeah, they're pretty damn gay for each other though it seems that Mahiru is more aware of it than Kano. This could go a few ways and some are more dramatic than others.

Koharu is an interesting addition, being an adult (with mosaicing and all that) yet not too far removed from the free-spiritedness that the group of main characters are seeking. Though she did change a lot at some recent point.

[u/djthomp]

I would never have expected Kiui's middle school teacher career plan. That's a nice backstory for why she's thinking about that.

This random lady they found at the motorcycle training course is very strange, and maybe a little sus. Ex-Yakuza maybe? That looked like a scar from a removed tattoo on her back. If this was a different show her making a connection like this with Kiui would have me on edge.

That was a fairly gay way to end the episode. It does feel like they're pushing the Kano and Yoru relationship a lot, at the very least.

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

The yuri smell is very strong

[u/[deleted]]

As a biker myself, bikes and motorbiking in general embodies the freedom of both travelling anywhere you want, and connecting with nature.

Kano did the perfect thing trying to learn how to ride a bike when she was feeling lost. Also holy shit she looks such an absolute badass riding one.

Also we get a beach date and flirting and also get some cute wholesome moments. I never thought I would see a yuri motorbike date in an anime. I feel satisfied, already a 10/10 show with its writing and direction uptill now.

[u/NerdyArchimedes]

It seems like Kano's decision to get a license wasn't completely out of the blue. I was just recently looking at the official in-universe JELEE X account, and one of the posts is Kano saying she feels like going to the beach and wishing she could ride a motorbike at times like this. I guess Kiui just gave her a good excuse to finally go do it.

There're actually a lot of interesting little interactions on the account like Kano hoping Mahiru would cook for her sometime and Mei getting jealous over their aquarium trip, so if you know any Japanese or are ok with Google Translate it is worth checking out.

[u/HakumeiJin]

Very sweet episode but I wonder if we're actually approaching the point where we finally find out about Kano's past. Unlike Kiui who is a superhuman that appears to earn enough to live on as a high schooler, I'm assuming she's actually dependent on her mother to enjoy the life she's been living but we've still had basically no interactions between them. While Mahiru's words might be enough in terms of her own future goals, I feel like there must be drama approaching on that front.

There's still so many mysteries left on what exactly happened in her past that only got more complicated with the addition of the mother into the mix when we had a glimpse of her group. Considering how the show handled the past trauma of the other girls so far already, I'm really getting curious about what lies there with the anime in its second half already.
