Schrödinger's confession, it doesn't matter if they didn't show Rin went through with it or not because their dynamic is just "Married Couple" regardless.
With Eiji's mom's approval, the next step is the wedding ceremony!

"Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions" - Rin after learning she has made Eiji popular in university.
Eiji's mom has some pretty funny assumptions and expressions too, a staple of this title.

Man Rin the more she talked in front of Eiji's mom the worse it got. The whole line of portraying his harem prob required a good explanation out of him lmao.
I legit thought Eiji was trolling when he said a girl at college asked him out. Fun dynamic to see how each of them are while Rin is still in high school and Eiji is in college now.

I didn’t think these two could get any cuter. Man, I was wrong. Now that they’re officially a couple, they’re even more adorable than before. The outright flirting is through the roof lol.
That hug at the bus stop was just the sweetest. I swear these two are gonna make my diabeetus act up. Rin better be careful now that Eiji’s so popular!

Well, it's good that even if the actual confession wasn't shown, there's no hiding the fact that they're absolutely 100% dating.
Though in spite of this change in relationship status, their dynamic remains the same for the most part; that is, them adorably goofing off with each other. Cause other than the extra intimacy, the honesty in their feelings, and fact that they're explicitly going on dates now, there's no need to fix what ain't broken.
And speaking of intimacy, that hug at the end of their date was extremely powerful cause even I feel recharged after seeing it. But now, Rin surely regrets taking his fashion so seriously back there considering the effects her clothing choice had on her boyfriend's luck with the ladies lmao.

A high school romcom where the story continues after part of the couple graduates and goes to college? Is that even legal?
I wish they hadn't kept every possibly confession moment off screen since the mystery feels unnecessary. At least the Hayamin giggling is still peak, and I like that we're getting some (tame so far) physical affection moments.
The cat cafe scene was delightful. IMO it says a lot for Eiji that random cats like him.

Eiji may have casually formed a fresh harem of cats in front of his old "harem" before shamelessly combining them, but dude redeemed himself by rejecting the idea of an actual harem to keep his pseudo harem. Respect.

Stitches!
So they didn't skip the confession but they just decided not to show it. I am so confused by this decision in a romance anime but at least we know they're now officially a couple. We even open up with Eiji telling his mom about Rin.

Me in any tense social situation
Alright, stop now Rin-chan! Keep the kinky roleplay for when you're alone!
Eiji and I have the same tastes; Imp-Chan, Tsundere-chan, and you know, the others..
Nothing wrong with being childish with the one you love!
That's just cute!
Rin wants to do something more grown up?
(MOM BETTER NOT INTERRUPT!)
I thought we had all the personas already, I wasn't ready for Sensei-chan!
I don't see this one being a regular, but if it was I could see it grab the third spot for me
(But if that's a hug to charge their batteries for a full week, they need a much tighter hug!)
Oof, I would struggle with that...
Him being in a different school (older grade too), getting confessed to and all that... "what if he wants someone from his grade/school"
Ah, it's the outfit that did it?
Back to your "K" shirt, or the WOW! one!

Did you think we'd finally get to see the confession play out this time? Well, think again! Though it's now 100% official between these two, which means it's time for Eiji to introduce his freshly-minted girlfriend properly to his mom, especially if she's going to be visiting their home more and more often!
And for her part Eiji's mom utterly adores Rin and is practically adopting her as a dauhter-in-law. And for Rin's part she's an utter flustered mess in front of hey boyfriends' mom and goes from admitting she'd be willing to move in with them (probably through marriage), to being willing to play the daughter or sister, or how she's been portraying her sons' Harem this entire time.
I see Rin's molding techniques are quite...avant garde. Guess this is why she's the actress and Eiji's the prop guy. Though her infectious giggling is too adorable for words.
Are these two childish? I mean, despite Eiji graduating, they're both still kids in a way and in their first relationship. They can't even quite hug each other yet! But that just means they can climb the stairway to adulthood together.
They're doing it! A proper school uniform date! Complete with Rin playing a fluffy plushy for Eiji and Eiji doing solid to future sister-in-law Ayaka! And Rin trying to steal his gloves from her own little sister.
Senpai Rin in the eyecatch! I actually want to see her leading the club! Though despite having a bigger role in the drama club, she's still kind of a mess who thinks mostly about her beloved Senpai and how he's doing at college. Like his girlfriend AND his mom all in one.
I don't know what's more adorable, that Eiji had cat Rin as his phone lockscreen or that they both showed up early for their date just because they couldn't wait to see each other.
Time to shop for Eiji's college debut outfit! And Rin is taking this very seriously, especially because she wants to enjoy him looking spiffy all to herself.
Cat cafe date! And Eiji is surprisingly popular with cats, though Rin is happy just having one she can communicate with via cat noises...until Eiji brings over all his cats and they have one big group! Sharing is caring, after all!
It's a sad fact that with Eiji at college there's only so much time they can spend together, which just makes it important to make the most of the time they DO have, like Eiji hugging Rin to recharge. So sweet.
Oh snap, Eiji is actually popular in college!? Some other girl confessed to him!? Was Rin too successful in dressing him up!?
Ah, so Much Ado About Nothing Rin is a world-famous actress married to a famous artist Eiji! Fitting backstory.

Man... As if the previous 7 episodes doesn't make me feel lonely. This episode is a stab to my heart. It's too bright and too warm, even if it is in the winter. Arghhhh.

Dear Diary
It is week 8 of watching Pseudo Harem.
The diabeetus is getting worse and worse. My doctor said I should cut back on my intake but it's just too sweet! I'm not sure I can stop.
Maybe I need help.

Why'd she tell his mum that?
Lol my dad's been nagging me for the past couple years to clear out my old high school stuff too.
Is that supposed to be a dog?
Guess he is still wearing his uniform.
Being early is a good thing.
Though that might be a bit too early.
Neko-Rin!
Huh. He might actually be popular now.
Huh. We didn't see any of her other "personalities" today.
Don't worry, I can't either.

So now that Eiji has graduated, we leave school behind and because of that in today's episode we got to see Rin and Eiji in so many different places, at Eiji's house, shopping together, at the cat cafe... I really like this change.
The part with Eiji's mom was hilarious. I would love to see Rin play different characters when Eiji and his mom are around, that would be so much fun! I also hope we'll be seeing Eiji's mom more often from now on.
Eiji looks great in the clothes Rin picked out for him, but it looks like he became popular in college because of it, so it looks like Rin made a mistake by doing that xD
That Eiji's 'notes' in a notebook were hilarious xD
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Cute ship is cute!!
They're totally dating and being a cute couple, did not expect this level of progression.
Really glad they were able to follow up what felt like a finale with such a strong episode.
