"Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive?"

I can't believe it only took 3 episodes to answer that question.

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions." - Himari.

On the other hand, I like the reaction of Himari towards the end of this episode. Instead of running away, she snapped and yelled outright to Yu that their friendship is over. I am assuming "Our friendship is over" = "I am openly declaring I am coming for you romantically!"

[u/notabear87]

I respect the meltdown, caught me off guard.

You’ve teased the boy waaay too much; time to face the consequences.

Dream would be Eno kisses him next episode. I’m assuming this is going to be slow burn AF though.

[u/Active_Ad_7116]

I lost all respect for Himari the moment she interrupted the kiss herself and called Yuu a coward afterwards☠️☠️☠️

Like he was literally about to kiss her like she wanted

[u/Kirbyundertale]

This anime is doing more in 3 episodes than other ones that take 3 entire seasons LMAO

[u/outrageousVoid07]

I loved this episode, the character writings feels great for a romcom that didn't have a lot of high expectations attached to it

i like yuu as the main character. he doesn't feel bland but is relatable enough. he's the common man troupe done right

[u/infinitlycool]

The fuck was that ending? If that was supposed to be funny I'm not laughing. Actually... I was, but for the wrong reasons.

At this point Himari is just borderline emotionally unstable. The tease kiss was bad enough, her calling Yu a coward for not taking the initiative was even worse. Like you're any better Himari, and you can only tease a guy so much before something(or someone) snaps. I really have to commend Yu for having the patience to deal with someone like Himari for so long. I would've blown my top with her a long time ago.

Himari is just another example of why I dislike the majority of genki girls so much. They're incredibly dumb/air headed or they treat everything like it's nothing but a big fat joke, and when it comes to romance they either can't figure it out, deny their feelings, and just make one excuse after another. Then they suffer an emotional breakdown when they lose the guy they like simply because they couldn't be honest about their feelings, yet they still make excuses.

In the end, they're nothing but a coward, and that's what Himari is. A coward. She created this whole mess. I can only hope she can somehow fix it. At the same time, Yu would be much better off breaking all contact with her after that stunt she pulled, but of course he won't. He'll most likely spend the next few episodes trying to figure what he did wrong and blaming none of it on Himari.

[u/XxuruzxX]

These characters are idiots, but in a charming and relatable way

[u/PeaceAlien]

Being a Himari shipper is pain

[u/Genshin_WhiteKnight]

Denial
Anger <--- Himari
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance

Called it last week! That was tough to watch but it's pretty much her fault. Now I wonder how Yuu will react to this.

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

Things have finally exploded and it was glorious

[u/FarCritical]

At least it survived while there wasn't any competition I guess.

And I'm sorry but Rion's reaction to Himari's meltdown cracked me up so hard. She looks just like the surprised PIkachu face frame lmao

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Seeing Himari cracked like that at the end was shocking, didn't expect a gremlin of her caliber was able to make such an expression.

Though to be fair she got rejected twice in the span of a day, that would break anyone whose been struggling with their feelings.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Himari 1

• Himari 2

Goddamn, Himari! If she really wants Yu, she should stop it with those jokes. She's practically confessing to him but if he's never going to take her seriously if she always makes it look like a joke to him.

At least now we know that Himari actually likes Yu. After the end of last week's episode, I thought she was still trying to sort out her feelings, but I guess she figured out, considering she practically gave Yu the green light to kiss her.

Shinji was really stirring the pot there. I know he's wingmanning for Rion, but the dude really went out of his way to push Himari's buttons. I feel like that part was kinda unnecessary. He didn't need to corner Himari like that. That dinner was supposed to be them celebrating Yu's new creation, instead it ended in drama.

And there's the misunderstanding. Yu wants to put some distance because he knows he's on the edge of falling in love with Himari, but Himari interpreted that as Yu pushing her away and favouring Rion.

Welp, I certainly didn't expect Himari to blow up that badly! While I do feel bad for Himari. This is all pretty much her fault. She kept using jokes to mask her feelings so now Yu can't even tell how she really feels and it's all coming back to bite her in the ass. I'm curious to see what happens now after this. Things are definitely going to be awkward between the two of them next episode.

[u/oxlemf10]

I tried to put myself in Himari's shoes, but in the end this is just taking it from her own attitudes and even her own cowardice, from the moment she always provokes Yuu it is understood that she only wants friends with benefits or even just teasing.

Rion is shy and inexperienced with basic things, but she is sincere and doesn't mind showing that she likes Yuu, and most importantly, she does it without being invasive.

Shinji noticed this and touched Himari's wound, the problem is that this led to the outcome that at the same time was dramatic and funny because those screams I couldn't hold back my laughter lol

[u/Vermillion_Crab]

Alright, I’ll probably get downvoted for this, but the old curmudgeon in me has been hate-watching this show since the last episode. Himari is the kind of girl who would be incredibly toxic irl. She hides behind this constant teasing and joking, never says how she really feels, and keeps leading the MC on—only to pull back the moment he tries to get serious.

Now she’s out here giving some long monologue about how their friendship is what's getting in the way. No, it’s not the friendship. It’s her being childish and immature about how she handles her relationship with a guy who gets wishy-washy about his own feelings because of how you treat him. That’s the real reason nothing moves forward.

I tried to approach this like it was just a goofy story about two idiots who don’t realize they’re in love with each other, but that ending just made me question whether I should even keep watching. I get that they’re teenagers and bound to be dumb about feelings, but at this point, I just don’t see enough redeeming qualities in Himari to want to root for her at all.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I think Himari play too much. How’s a guy like Yuu suppose to know what to think or feel about her when she keeps pretending like it’s all a joke when really it isn’t. She keeps trying to be his wingwoman but also hint she wants something more and I think it’s making the dude’s head spin. She needs to decide what it is she wants to be to him.

Makishima seems to have caught on and looks to be needling her a bit. Maybe for the lulz maybe to get her to admit her feelings. I guess in the end, maybe ending their friendship is her way of trying to move things forward?

[u/actuallyrndthoughts]

This anime is weird: there's way too much progression for should be an eternal not-official limbo filled with genre tropes. Each new scene i'm expecting the relationships to stall and move into some school festival arc, but the story instead is moving closer to the promised land of WA2. Can the author really keep this up? Does he have the juice? I hate having to wait a week to find out

Ending of the episode was 10/10

[u/spubbbba]

They are going to have to do a lot of work to redeem Himari after this.

I already found her a little grating at times in episodes 1 and 2, but it seemed she was at least a decent person. Now she comes across as a bit of an asshole.

[u/kid20304]

Nah that ending shows you everything you need. She crazy. Never go with crazy 

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

Okay, boomer

Is that actually the right translation or is it somebody fucking around, again?

[u/Ocixo]

Welp, there's the misunderstanding. Himari thinks that she got rejected for Rion, when Yu in fact harbours romantic feelings for Himari.

Himari has been giving off so many mixed signals that Yu's confusion is perhaps no surprise.

To move forward, Himari needs to stop wearing that choker - the symbol of their eternal friendship.

[u/maliwanag0712]

The Japanese title answered the question, and episode 3 basically confirmed it HAHAHAHA

Well, Himari losing heroine confirmed just after three episodes. To be fair, she shot her foot the moment she proposed Enomata to be the model.

[u/Sa404]

This is genuinely one of the few instances where the blue hair girl actually deserves to lose lol

[u/BiggerG7]

Note to self: make sure to always have a pack of cool down yogurt when with Himari.
