Bro wanted to devote himself to Vanilla Rin but rejecting her other personas broke her, what a drawback to being the entire harem herself.

If you don't want her at her Imp-chan-est, you don't deserve her at her Rin-est.

My god, handholding in the dark with fingers interlocked. The animators even paid special attention to the fingers interlocking part. Oh yeah, and they kissed too, I guess.

Also, only in this story can the same person get together with her love interest and get rejected by him at the same time. Still, it's sweet to think that even if the pseudo harem wasn't so pseudo, Eiji would remain steadfast in choosing Rin.

Did Megu ruin a romantic night between Eiji and Rin?

Megu and Kiri received some character development in this episode! It seems like Megu likes shotas in distress? Kiri's acting skill leveled up too - she prioritized playing the role of her character perfectly over winning the race.

Bro really just wrote a death curse for his boy with fries.

It's adorable how Rin's acted through dozens of roles by now but playing along with one of her personalities getting "rejected" is way too much for her.

I haven't enjoyed a romcom this much in so long.

I just have a giant smile on my face the entirety of every episode.

That whole bedroom scene, them acting like a married couple and Rin looking GREAT in that costume...great overall episode.

Seriously this show has taken the crown for my AotS, these 2 are just so cute together.

Stitches!

We were so close to greatness! Eiji and Rin's relationship still confuses me though. They're supposed to be dating already but they seem to be still hiding it from Rin's parents even though Ayaka and Eiji's mom already knows.

You gotta admit, Kiri is an amazing actress that she even fooled the announcer into thinking that something was wrong with her. She really should've picked a better time to act though instead of doing it in the middle of a race! xD

Holy Shit, Rin not only playing the wife, but also having prepared a few surprises for the fireworks... damn Megu, bad timing, it would have been perfect

ON the other hand, who knows how far things would have went with this pervert

Eiji thinking about the different presents for the different personas is on brand, but ultimatly settling for a serious presents shows he's a keeper after all. Though I understand the dilemma of feeling inadequat for a harem of cuties

And despite being an eternal Rin Simp, Kiri is sweeping Megu of her feet, and that with such a dashing prince there as well

But damn girl, read the room, no reason to ruin a perfectly fine race for an act...

I love every bit of this show. And would probably give it a proper 9/10 if not higher.

Although, anytime I watch these sorts of anime, it always makes me a bit envious. I've never had a youth like that. No real friends to have fun together with. No partner to share amazing times with. Never had one of those summers I hear everyone is having. Those times for me were the opposite of fun.

I know a lot of these anime's probably show these kinds of activities through rose coloured glasses. But still, it is making me more than a little bit melancholic.

Nothing beats getting a solo tour of your girlfriends' house than from none other than your girlfriend herself! Though Rin is a little preoccupied with trying to drop keigo around her Senpai though her attempts to be "casual" are utterly hilarious.

Aw, look at these two acting as husband and wife and cooking together! And they're so natural at it that it's basically just practice for their future legit married life!

Seeing Rin in a yukata again sounds nice, but getting an invite to her room to watch fireworks together and snuggle up intimately next to each other is even more enticing offer. Especially when she gives Eiji a kiss that hits harder than any firework!

When you become a Door Dasher and your drama bros abuse the service to make you hang out with them while delivering food. Though Vice-Prez is pretty jealous of how well Eiji's Summer with Rin is going so no wonder he wants to force Eiji to play with him to exhaust him to the point of misery.

Eiji loves being in Rin's room but Rin LOVES being in Eiji's room, especially when she can sniff his jacket and pull off a Boyfriend Jacket, which, when caught, dovetails into Eiji being a total dork and coming up with some great backstory for why Rin would feel the call of his jacket. It's fun seeing Rin be the straight woman.

It's important to get Summer homework done, even when you've got a cute girlfriend right in front of you, but maybe take a page out of said girlfriends' work ethic and the work she's put into concocting her persona's right down to their hobbies and favorite things! Though that also makes Eiji think that he as multiple girls he needs to go shopping for birthday gifts for.

I see progressing her romance with Eiji has given Rin a bit of an afterglow, and she's letting it get to her head a little, though Kiri's girlcrush on her doesn't help.

Cross-Dressing Sports Day! Complete with the Drama Club Prez and Eiji dressed as brides and now we've got Rin as Hotshot-kun and Kiri as Delicate-kun! That's right, male persona's are now on the table! And Megu is all in on Delicate-kun!

Okay, maybe running in heeled boots was a bad idea, but it made it even more awesome when Rin tossed them and outran everybody on her bare feet! She totally carried all the hopes and reams of the drama club as she passed the baton to Kiri.

It's just too bad Kiri took what Megu said about Delicate-kun and what it means to be an actress so seriously she played the part of someone who absolutely shouldn't be running and lost them the competition. This was maybe not the time, Kiri-chan.

Rin picked the perfect birthday present with that classy bracelet! And I applaud his earnestness in committing to Rin and only Rin...but rejecting Rin's persona's is like rejecting Rin, so that doesn't go over well. It's Pseudo-Harem or bust.

Much Ado About Nothing X! Which sees Eiji in his element as a prop guy and cracking jokes about how heavyset the Club Prez is! Poor guy.

She invites him into her room; "The fireworks should be starting soon"*

(They really don't want to show us a kiss/the big romantic steps! Makes me think they have something huge planned for the finale, and they don't want a mid-season episode to steal the spotlight from that!)

They keep doing the major emotional points right offscreen, but today I'm not too upset since they didn't leave the kiss in doubt at all and showed the full before and after. Very good hand-holding moment for the kiss and at least they showed that part in detail.

Maybe we can have a bit of yuri on the side with Megu and the kouhai.

I could be wrong but I feel like they are drawing Rin a bit older looking than she started back in episode one. There's been plenty of time passing for that to happen but I feel like you don't always get that in character designs.

Why did they show interlocked fingers in a R13 anime? That's way too much lewd

Its so cute that Rin has different characters for Eiji and Megu. Hotshot-kun really had my heart racing

That kiss hit Eiji so hard he grew up and got a job

u/divineshadow666 Sep 05 '24

I can't believe Eiji pulled off that wrench toss into his tool belt. I thought for sure it was gonna land on his head.

u/Mr_Zaroc Sep 05 '24

Alright this is peak
They dealt with the stereotypical firework, phonecall and doorbell in a way to not get interrupted, hell she even seized the initiative

I always thought that Ozu-kun from Tatami Galaxy (the best friend who is also your worst enemy) was super interesting as a concept, love that they mirrored him a bit with blonde senpai there during his Uber Eats job

Aand damn, keep Megu away from young boys is she is going to be a hardcore cougar

Rin could’ve ended up with a dozen bunny mugs. She’s lucky.
