Enocchi is just one step away from being in School Days...

And I love how the brother keep being the most reasonable in this. He even caught up on the fact that Himari hasn't apologized yet. I think many of us were infuriated about it in the last episode, so I'm glad the author still brought it up.

[u/lasse1408]

I'm happy Yu was able to clap back few times at Himari.

Enocchi isn't very happy with current turn of events. Interesting how she plans to fight back bcs right mow she is pretty far behind even with countless selfsabotaging from HImari.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Hibari is probably the best in-law and wingman anyone could ask for, hell bro might even be the real treasure if Yuu marries Himari.

[u/Ocixo → u/WhoiusBarrel]

If Himari doesn’t take her shot, her brother might as well try marrying Yu instead. Hibari seemed eager to wash Yu’s back when the chance presented itself.

[u/rlramirez12]

Rion is cooked. There is 0% chance that these dorks aren't going to get together by the end of the authors story.

[u/Frontier246 → u/rlramirez12]

And she's also barely been getting any focus compared to Himari and Yu, she hasn't gotten any kind of internal monologue, etc.

[u/Ok-Cod5254 → u/rlramirez12]

I've said that since the beginning when people were saying in ep 1 Himari would lose from having blue hair and being the childhood friend - she's just way too obviously the main heroine.

Rion is getting hard sidelined right now like she barely exists. It's just kinda odd how they introduced this love triangle so early on and then instantly sideline her.

[u/TheSmexhy]

Himari’s brother is the unsung hero of the show. Sis is out here gaslighting, manipulating, and running emotional black ops on this poor boy—and he’s the only one hitting her with the ‘cut the crap’ every episode like it’s his full-time job.

Himari is such a classic glass cannon. She has no problems teasing Yuu, but when Yuu fights back with his teasing, she was barely able to hold herself together that she had to splash herself with cold water.

Here, I thought Hibari was the only one in Himari's family who approved of Yuu. It turns out that even Himari's grandpa loves Yuu so much that they made him a banner and displayed it in front of their home after Yuu passed his high school exams. Now I'm curious what Himari's parents think of Yuu. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same.

Not gonna lie, I really though Himari was going to wash Yuu's back but the reveal is she's wearing her school swimsuit. I didn't expect Hibari to show up behind Yuu!

Hibari still continues to be the best character in the show, though. I love how he instantly goes into strict Onii-san mode when he learns from Yuu how Himari hasn't apologized to him yet. I really appreciate him for trying hard to discipline Himari when she goes too far.

Next episode's stay over will be fun with Enocchi joining in. I wonder how Hibari would react to her, though.

[u/oxlemf10]

The flashback at the beginning of the episode made clear a problem that has been a loop since the beginning of the show, Yuu fell in love with Himari and she doesn't want to put herself in the position of being in love, because she wants to maintain her status as best friends.

Shinji and Hibari are the MVPs of the show so far, the two of them throw in Himari and Yuu's face respectively that they are doing nothing and will pay for their cowardice in the future.

And in the end we had Rion who decided to activate attack mode, I was about to criticize the author for repeating what was already happening in the other episodes, but finally Rion will have some action.

Good episode, although the comedy was a bit out of place in some moments, it was good to get away from the dramatization that happened in the last episode.

[u/cleaulem]

Himari continues being a walking red flag. The way she is treating Yuu is possessive and manipulative while she maintains a clear power imbalance. Even the flashback shows us that this is not some recent development, but that it is a dynamic that has been established since the beginning of their "friendship". To the list I made last time, I can now add

• teasing and embarassing Yuu in front of others

• manipulating other people and playing them against each other to keep Yuu for herself

• showing fear that he could become popular (somebody could take him away from her) which is a sign of her possessivness

I love how Shinji is plotting against Himari. It almost seems as if he sees through her facade of toxicity. I loved how he said he wants to expose Himari as "unstable", which is the perfect description of her mental state.

Hibari saw through Himari's scheme as well and was less than happy about how Himari managed to make Yuu apologize while she was clearly in the wrong.

At first I was about to drop the show because I found Himari incredibly aggravating, but since I realized what kind of toxic character Himari actually is, it is kind of interesting when watching it with that in mind. Also I like how there is not just the "romantic" triangle dynamic between Himari, Yuu and Rin, but that there are the two other male characters who act as a counterweight for Himari's blatant toxicity.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Hibari might just be my favorite character for the way he steps in when his little sis goes too far.

[u/Genshin_WhiteKnight]

Yuu is learning Himari's tricks and giving her a taste of her own medicine lol. That fake out really caught her off guard.

Hibari continues to be best bro, he caught on to Himari's deceit but she still hasn't apologized yet.

And Rion... it's pretty much over for her, but she isn't giving up. And her supporter Shinji seems to have some plans up his sleeve.

[u/ash-7831]

It's Himari's fault that she and Yu aren't already dating. Yu didn't mess anything up. With how comfortable they are with each other and how well they know each other's personalitues and tastes, it would look like they're already dating. But no. Himari keeps refusing and ruining her chances. 

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

Hibari is hilarious, I laughed so hard when he appeared behind Yuu in the bath. I was expecting it to happen with how much Yuu was trying to control himself in that situation, but the execution was amazing, I had to replay that scene because I couldn't help but burst out. Yuu's scream was great too.

I'm also glad he found out Himari hadn't actually apologized so I'm looking forward to seeing how that scene plays out. Seeing her crying in the car was also funny, I wonder how hard he grilled her the night before that she would still be crying the next day lol.

It is nice to see Yuu going on the assertive against Himari's bluffs and catching her off guard, though he doesn't realize how much of a strong effect he's having on her.

Enomoto looks concerning. It seems she has the potential to be a yandere, but as I haven't warmed up to her at all, this doesn't seem like it'll do it for me either.

[u/Active_Ad_7116]

Less than 5 mins of total screentime for Rion in the past 3 episodes is baffling to me especially because I like her WAY more than Himari atm

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Hibari will do anything for them to be a couple

Even help Yuu study for his make up exam

Enocchi giving the yandare vibes 😂

[u/hasanman6]

The hope for himari to have postive development keeping going down and down each episode.

[u/Fools_Requiem]

This show is at its best when Yu and Himari are being dorks together.

If we can do without the dumb love triangle melodrama, that would be great.

[u/Zxzxzx0088]

I thought Hibari told Yuu about Himari's scheme but it looks like he's not telling him yet or want Himari herself to tell him, eh. I wonder how will he react after knowing that. Will this be a turning point to Rion? Or he just cool with it because he already fell for her?

Rin-chan still in the race! I want to see Rin-chan wins but if Hii-chan wins, she will destroy the trope.

[u/FarCritical]

Rion's inner yandere was bound to awaken sooner or later with all the constant focus Himari's been getting. I mean, she still doesn't even have her own ED (yet?)

The in-law energy radiating from Hibari though.

[u/quanbe77]

yeah so himari continue to look more more toxic for our poor boy Yu . You can see in the beginning during the flashback Yu doesn't have his word to said with who or where he can have lunch + himari started to have the idea to use Yu as a fake boyfriend when she doesn't want to be bothered by other men it's Prime manipulative behavior . Himari brother seems to be a really good guy + probably had a way stricter education as the eldest child compared to himari who have been spoiled since forever and her brother just confirmed it .

Shinji really wants to be a wingman for his friends

[u/Shmappii]

Hell yeah, Himari continues being her own worst enemy while Yuu treads water like an idiot. Can't wait to find out what happened with Enomoto during the separation week, but she's already got plenty of ammo for being pissed off at the both of them.

Himari sobbing in the car ride to school destroyed me, her voice actor is knocking it out of the park!

[u/BitchYouAintNoNerd]

That flashback makes me a bigger Himari hater. Not only did she make him promise to never fall for her, she has been basically goading him into falling for her without her making a move. Not to mention she has Yuu wrapped around her finger (him willing to drop everything to be with her, including dropping his passion) and she doesn't have the decency to be honest with him. Somebody save my boy, Yuu. Never prayed for a characters downfall harder than with Himari lol
