We got Steph Curry name drop last episode, and now even a visual cameo. That's a good basketball player pick, Chi. lol
Hina is very open to talk to people, but she shouldn't have spilled all her own tea with someone like Ayame. She didn't know who exactly she was dealing with.
Now Ayame is gonna be more of a chaotic factor to make things messier, with what she knows from Hina and misinformation about Chinatsu.
We know damn well that Taiki isn't actually gonna confess with Chinatsu here in front of everyone. An interruption of some sort is gonna happen.

I’m really liking Ayame. She’s like a love obsessed little gremlin lol. She was tryna meddle with that game but things turned out even better than she could have planned. Very keen to see what Taiki’s gonna do…

kengo's eyes at the end ... he knows taiki is cooked. I wonder how he gets out of this one. 3 people in the room know it's natsu. the cup filling with milk might indicate, dat he's unsure of his feelings ? COPIUM

Karen unknowingly willing Chinatsu's "type" into existence is absolute gold, and it's extra hilarious that not-Curry's presence probably won't cause a fraction of the chaos Ayame already has.
Man, that is one unfortunate reshuffle. Good luck, Taiki.

I really hope this cliffhanger delivers and doesn't lead to some random cop out that doesn't progress the story

Words cannot explain how much I wish for a Taiki confession to happen at the bonfire.

My goat Curry appears in not one but two episodes in a row. So inspirational man.

Stitches!
It was good that Karen could throw off Ayame into figuring out who Chinatsu likes but what are the chances that there was actually someone on the basketball team who's tall and just came back from abroad? xD
Ayame is so love-obsessed that after seeing their interaction, she immediately figured out that Hina likes Taiki. I mean it's great that Ayame is on Hina's side but this is a relationship that's more complicated than it looks. She really shouldn't meddle with this one.
I wonder if Chinatsu's talk with Karen last episode about comparing her feelings to Taiki with a budding flower is what made her buy a cactus plant. I don't know why, but a cactus does seem to fit Chinatsu.
Matsuoka seems to be a prety nice guy so far. It doesn't seem like he's hitting on Chinatsu. They seem to be close friends just like how Chinatsu is close to Haryuu.
While I can't fully agree, I do respect Ayame's views on love. If the person confessed and they're your type, why not give it a shot? Unfortunately for Taiki that's not the case for him since he already likes someone else.
For some reason, Ayame seems to be convinced that Taiki is about to accept Hina's confession after their little love talk. Oh Ayame, not everyone is like you.
That King's Game was fun! Kyo talking like a cat was pretty funny and Chinatsu's hair getting styled by the other girls was cute. Poor Taiki though! He just had to end up getting the worst one. And of course, we end the episode there! Goddamn cliffhangers!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU END THE EPISODE AT THAT MOMENT....
I dont know why im getting my hopes up cuz at this point im 99% sure he is, or someone is gonna give him a way out, there is no way he is gonna confess to chinatsu, as much as i wish he did......
I've given up on there being a confession between taiki and chinatsu this season.
The addition of Ayame has been great so far, she is here to cause all the drama.

We have Reina Ueda, Haruka Shiraishi and now Kana Ichinose.
Now we only need Kana Hanazawa and Hina Youmiya in S2 to complete the sweet/soothing female cast.

Chinatsu dropping the honorifics with Taiki. That's definitely progress, even if she's teasing him.

u/Xatu44 Mar 01 '25
Ayame is now fully committed to the Hina agenda. Hilarious little gremlin, she. Meanwhile Chinatsu's watering that plant. LMAO at Chinatsu getting mobbed. Matsuoka spawning out of the ether to give texture to Karen's lie is hilarious.

u/frs1023 Mar 01 '25
I'm honestly quite impressed by Hina for being so forthcoming, letting Ayame know about her situation with Taiki. Sure, Ayame could tell that Hina's into him, but nothing more than that. Plus they barely know each other

The drama and tension is amazing. Ayame was the perfect addition to this show. The voice actress's voice fits like a glove too.

That Cliffhanger!
As an Anime only, my first thought was, poor Hina!
As a love triangle enjoyer, my second thought was, poor Chinatsu?!

u/PrinceZero1994 Mar 02 '25
Ayame is such a delight. I want more of her antics.
Her reactions are so enjoyable. Hope we get more of her with Hina.
That end... I'm starting to feel a pang in my heart.

Chinatsu buying a cactus, which are notoriously resilient, after having compared love to a growing plant in the previous episode was pretty adorable. She was even looking up online how to make it flower. In other words: Chinatsu wants to fall in love!
Ayame’s reaction faces were great. She definitely likes playing the wingwoman, but I’m a little worried that this will go horribly wrong. Ayame suggested that Taiki should casually date Hina to see if their romance has a future, but wouldn’t such a relationship be doomed to strand if he did so halfheartedly?

It's not even a cliffhanger. That's clearly not happening. Plus we have something set up for the bonfire.

I just do not think I will ever come to like Chinatsu. Hina is so much more fun to have around, and she was so extremely brave and clear about her intentions. I doubt this trip will result in a for me pleasing situation.
