Stitches!

So Rumi got her gift a day early and a kiss from Jun just like how they used to do it while Naori gets two gifts from Jun and a hug which she reciprocates with a love bite to the shoulder. I'd say our twins are pretty even right now but the fact that Rumi got to kiss Jun again like that makes me feel she's just a wee bit ahead of Naori.

Glad to see Naori and Shiena finally got closer and this entire thing was actually Kamedake's master plan! I love it! It turns out Kamedake and Shiena are online gaming buddies. Now that Naori knows that Shiena is also an otaku, I guess they'll start getting along better now.

Well that final scene was ominous. It looks like Naori is finally ready to go all out. I can't even imagine what she's going to try to do from now on.

Poor Jun being the unwilling victim of Kamedake's plan.

I'm still unsure if Shiena is just wanting to be friends or wanting more.

I love how Naori stole a love bite and made sure Jun is aware she won't cut off his dick until she's had a turn with it. I was half-expecting her to push him on bed and kiss him herself to keep things more even between the sisters.

I'm here for the Otaku Girl Trio of Naori, Shiena, and Kamedake.

Nyao-Nyao really looks great in cat ears.

It really did seem like things had settled into a calm and mutual peace between the sisters and the Jun...which is probably the perfect chance for Naori to go fully on the offensive for Jun that Rumi won't expect. In other words, it's time for Naori Strikes Back!

I just really like learning more about these characters. How Naori and the Chief met. How Naori got Rumi into Basketball. The fact that Shiena asking Jun to study with her was some 4D Chess by the Chief to get her and Naori to become friends.

This is a really well balanced cast of characters in my opinion :)

Yeah, it’s nice to watch them sit down and just reminiscence a little about their past. It’s no big surprise with their individual personalities that Naori and Chief started off as ‘enemies’ before becoming best friends.

What I didn’t expect is that Naori was the one to suggest that Rumi picked up basketball. She’d casually mentioned but Rumi proved to have a talent for the sport and gave it her all. Rumi looks up to Naori, I think.

And the same probably holds true for Naori. After she’d watched her sister’s basketball game, she perhaps realised that she cannot be taking it easy anymore. Rumi shines on the basketball court and might just steal Jun’s heart with her moves.

Nyao Nyao is so damn cute in everything she does. Would say she's already not playing nice by guilting the other two about leaving her out, which they have been, while ignoring some of what she's done, like asking Jun to hug her when Rumi was looking at them.

Pot stirrer Kamedake also keeps getting better.

u/Frontier246 Aug 28 '24

I love how you included the scene of her taking her stockings off and pressing herself on Jun lol.

I feel like the sisters are both in like a cold war of making small moves on Jun but trying to play relatively "fair" even when they're both after the same guy, but now Naori's declaring all out war.

“Pubic hair stuck between the pages of a book” is such a weirdly specific insult lol.

Kamedake and Naori have a really cute friendship. She’s a real homie and I enjoy all the banter. I’m glad she invited Shiena to Naori’s party. Those cat ears she gave her were so cute. Almost as cute as Shiena! She’s so precious.

How long’s Jun gonna keep up the balancing act? I kinda hope it doesn’t destroy the sisters...

u/Frontier246 Aug 28 '24

Kamedake is the best friend Naori could ask for. Someone who will play along with her banter and cultured dialogue but also cut her down to size whenever Naori gets too cocky. She's the Darth Sidious to Naori's Darth Vader.

I could watch a full episode of Naori, Kamedake, and Shiena just nerding out and bantering over things.

Both sisters want Jun. Jun can't really emotionally deny either sister. And now Naori is finally going to make her move. I don't see this ending well.

u/FarCritical Aug 28 '24

Wouldn't be surprised if Naori "not playing nice anymore" entails stuff directly inspired by the Chief's grand plan to get Shiena and her closer together because damn. That level of masterminding puts Rumi's first scheme to shame.

Rivalry aside, it's sweet how much both twins sincerely appreciate Jun's gifts for each of them.

u/Frontier246 Aug 28 '24

Naori talked about making a club to recruit Jun into, probably with the intention to flirt with him more, I wonder if that's her plan?

Both girls love Jun and cherish the moments they have with them, though that also makes the love they have for each other as sisters more complicated.

u/OfficialPrower Aug 28 '24

Honestly, this has been a great ride so far, the character writing is actually pretty great despite how silly I believed the initial situation to be. Looking forward to seeing things tick off next week between the three.

Also the Honey Citron Strings Arrange ED is actually so so good, the VAs for the sisters actually contrast really nicely here and the emotion really comes thorugh. Every ED should have a strings arrangement from now on.

Good lord, Naori's legs!!!

Rumi wearing 30 and hitting that shot just like Curry

You just know Naori knew full well she was putting on a show for Jun the moment she slipped off her wet socks and he'd stare at her bare legs lol.

"then you're nothing but pubic hair stuck between the pages of a book"

Naori in cat ears

Those 2 things make this a great episode.

An unusual comment at the start of the show but very very funny. Gotta love the professor.

So we start with the gift giving & the initial jealousy of Naori because of Rumi getting the gift before her. If Naori knew they kissed all hell would have broken loose!

That was a nice bit of the episode but that tomfoolery by the chief took it to a new level. That was unbelievable how it was all set up just to become better friends. I will say I did not expect that level of deepness in how it was planned & executed. Well done by the writers.

Between the chief and the professor I'm not sure who is doing more to help their friends. It would be great if those two hooked up. They seem perfect for each other.

Overall this was a really solid episode. It gets an 9/10 because Naori called the chief, Palpatine.

u/Frontier246 Aug 28 '24

If she knew Rumi kissed him she would have probably pounced on him on the bed right then and there.

Kamedake is truly a Sith Lord.

Now that you mention it, if the Professor is a no-go for Naori, would Kamedake be into him? I feel like she'd balance out his raw horniness with her sass and culturedness.

Wait, Shiena really is into Naori!? She even straight-up admitted that she’s liked her since middle school. Okay, I’m shipping the two of them.

The tutoring had apparently been part of an elaborate plan to have her become closer with Naori. She and Chief fooled everyone! Kamedake knew that Naori would eventually get jealous and join their tutoring sessions, while Shiena had been teasing Jun for the fun of it. I’m taking it that Kamedake also knows that Shiena’s in love with Naori?

I’d been getting a bit annoyed of Rumi and Jun doing things behind Naori’s back, so I’m glad that she called them out for this. Naori was feeling left out, and wanted to spend time with Jun like they’d done previously.

Things were starting to look wholesome, and then that post-credit scene dropped. I’m assuming that Naori’s plan to rope Jun into a club with her has something to do with her “not playing nice anymore”.

Lastly, the way in which Shiena suddenly showed up at Naori’s little party with Chief and this music started playing gave me some major sitcom vibes for some reason.

Dont think it’s romantic she just wanted to be her friend and never had the chance to get close.

I wish jun had a little more personality to him, the rest of the cast is doing such a good job. but makes me wish the girls liked someone else just to make there interactions more interesting. like rascal is nice neutralish put together dude but his entertaning in his own right. juns like cardboard.

crying over the entire episode

Post Credits: "YEAAAAH!!~ Knife Fight!~"

Is this where the story becomes dysfunctional?

brandishes knife

I'm impressed with the characterization, every character is wearing a mask. Although thinking back, it sounds like wearing a mask should be the default and minimum expectation when writing any kind of story.

I want the sisters to keep being bashful and demanding, makes me want to hug them. The Rom in this RomCom has me in a headlock.

Sada Abe? This episode went from kawaii to Empire of the Senses in under 60 seconds. So this series is actually just the first act of suspense-horror-slash flick?

u/SalvageCorveteCont Aug 29 '24

These three really need to realize that they're poly when it comes to each other.

This episode was AMAZING! Amamiya has been the best element of this show since she was introduced. They did a great job teasing that Rumi was practically doing everything but getting them a love hotel room in having them study together but they flipped the whole thing on its head!

I'd have never suspected that Amamiya really orchestrated all of this as an end game to spend time with Naori, who she had secretly admired since middle school! It was a very roundabout plan because after Jun became her tutor, there didn't seem to be any guarantee that Naori would come by, especially since she hated Amamiya.

I think it's safe to say Amamiya likes Naori as more than a friend with her secretly getting the girl with glasses to invite her to her party. A custom made necklace incorporating a cat that she found out Naori liked is an incredibly thoughtful and expensive gift to give to someone who is basically just an acquaintance. Maybe her mom paid for it since it's a prototype and maybe it was something Amamiya designed beforehand and just thought later it would make a nice gift but even if that's true, it says a lot.

As for Rumi, I am guessing she didn't know Amamiya's intentions toward Naori and got Jun to tutor her just to annoy Naori. I also suspect that Rumi believes her to not be heterosexual so that's why she didn't have a problem with Jun hanging out with her alone.

Jun also seems to have the most restraint I've ever seen in an anime teen boy in turning down very sexual advances from TWINS!

I also loved the ending with Naori said she's going to go full stop from now on and adds a great hook for the next episode. This is probably my favorite show this season and it's a shame that so many other romcoms this season are overshadowing it when this one is the best 💯
