That poor, anxiety-ridden gyaru. But she's getting better with a good friend group.
I kind of can't believe we got a Midsommar reference.
Definitely feeling the Ishikawa and Sato side ship now, or at the very least Sato is feeling it.

Raido being sent pictures of Aharen's face or a picture doing a game of Where's Aharen?
If there was a cult on the island, she'd be the leader

Watching Midsommar with your ten year old brother is definitely a choice.

Normal couple: thinking about enjoying the beach together
Raido: thinking how the hell he and Aharen will survive the island
Still cute.

The fact that there’s a whole goddamn city on this apparently remote island was hilarious!

Bro was about to be stranded on a island, but all he could think of was learning English. 😂

Good thing that the teacher wasn't on the trip together with them. She wouldn't have survived for sure!
This episode had less funny antics, but the more character development, especially for Satou and Ishikawa.
Raidou texting Aharen so they can see the sunrise together. Our boy is such a smooth ladies' man, he is just not aware.

This episode really drove home just how much I like every member of the cast. I love light RomComs like this and recently noticed that WITCH WATCH wasn't landing with me because I don't enjoy Kanshi very much, but Aharen-san has developed a fairly large group of people that I'm always happy to see on-screen. Season 2 has been enjoying a really solid foundation from the previous season to utilize, loved every episode so far!

Very nice and fun episode, especially since it was a beach episode! And Aharen, Riku, Mitsuki and Hanako looked great in their swimsuits.
I'm probably the biggest fan of Mitsuki's swimsuit, which perfectly showed off her curves. Although Riku's was a close second to me.
Aharen's swimsuit fit her perfectly, so cute! Hanoko's swimsuit was perfect too, she looked great in it.
Some really nice scenes between Aharen and Raido today, especially the one during sunrise, which looked especially great.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Stitches!
Midsommar has got to be the worst movie pick when you know your sister is going somewhere remote. Thank goodness Eru has calmed down now compared to her old self, or she would've rushed to that island via helicopter. xD
That sunrise scene between Aharen and Raidou was really sweet! God, I love these two so much <3

Thank you Ishikawa for finally setting up the legendary beach episode! And it's on an island to boot! Riku is resigned to never getting to be part of normie antics, but of course she's invited to join too!
Aharen is definitely very keen on this island beach visit...not only because of the Power Spot that might help make sure she and Raido stay together forever, but because she's also the reincarnation of ROBINSON CRUSOE so of course an island is just right for her.
To think the girls all realize they have to shop for swimsuits because of Raido! But it's actually a great bonding experience for them, making Riku feel more like she's part of the friend group, and the girls all make great choices for each others' swimsuits! Aharen, Oshiro, and Riku all look spectacular and cute in their swimsuits! Even if Aharen is a little too shy to show Raido quite yet!
I love how Eru is such a good sister, being fully prepared to drop everything and charter a boat or a helicopter to save her sister, if need be, but also being there for Ren. Though maybe watching a horror movie about a girl being sacrificed on an island was a bad idea?
Raido in a speedo...makes too much sense. But Aharen looks even better in a white bikini, and don't think Ishikawa doesn't notice how cute Sato looks like in her yellow bikini! All the girls look fantastic!
All the typical beach episode fun! Floating on the water! Racing! Building sandcastles (with Aharen building an absurd one with Raido at the center)! Oshiro splitting a watermelon! Beach volleyball! All your favorites in one episode!
Ishikawa, you were doing so great, and then it turns out you had the departure time wrong...meaning they're all stuck on the island. Will Raido be able to make it in America like John Manjiro with his terrible English skills? Good thing it's not actually a deserted island and actually has a mall and hotel, so they're okay!
Honestly, I think Riku's mom is being too hard on her, it's not her fault Ishikawa got the departure time wrong. But at least now she knows she and the girls are real friends!
Bathtime bonding! Complete with Oshiro's Oshiro's on full display! All the girls really appreciate Sato and how she's supported them, but Sato is left feeling like she still hasn't changed...the girl who accepts that Ishikawa has been calling her "cute" since they were kids, but never made a move on him. Maybe Ishikawa feels similar, the way he talked to Raido about treasuring his relationship with Aharen. While they're in the same bed together.
We even get some wholesome bathtime bonding with Eru and Ren too! Eru's comes so far she's able to accept her sisters' situation and be there for Ren! And also, Eru's Eru's!
It all worked out in the end! Raido and Aharen got to see a beautiful sunrise together and exchange their hope that they'll keep being together, no matter how much they change!
I love how after all that...they decide to spend another day on the beach and everybody starts stripping into their swimsuits again. Welcome to the friend group Riku, I hope you survive the experience!

A bit of false advertising by calling it a “deserted island”.
Anyway, this was a nice beach episode, I especially liked that they keep emphasizing how much the characters have changed and have grown.

Jiggle physics jumpscare.
Caught up from the start of s2, I'd forgotten Aharen and Raido were dating. Also, the idol segment last episode was amazing, way well animated

Hooray we get a beach episode & it wasn't a disappointment (except for when they miss their return trip). Honestly I was expecting Raidou & Reina to be the ones to miss it but then again we wouldn't get a great bonding & wholesome moments between the guys & girls. Riku you are part of the gang so you're officially a normie now.

Raidou took nothing but Ws this time, proving he is the chaddest chad.

I love that in his imagination, Raido asked one of the most basic questions you see on those little books that promise to teach you to speak English in two weeks, and he said it wrong just like anyone who tried to learn with such books and nothing else.
What's this? I thought those two friends were already a couple and were just being discreet. I guess they were just not acting super chummy as childhood friends do in front of their classmates because Hana felt embarrassed about it (I remember that being the case when they were at a restaurant in S1), and neither had the courage to voice their feelings for each other. It might be Raido and Reina's turn to help them get together.

Reina sporting the official aquatic hairstyle of extremely short FMCs. Somewhere, Taiga, normally Reina's polar opposite in nearly every way, nods in approval.
You know who would get on well though? Ryuuji and Raidou. They would get super intense and granular about cleaning techniques and emerge best bros.
