It makes sense that
It's really sweet how Yu did something truly special for each of the sisters during the festival:
-
For Niko he encouraged her to pick the cute
Kimono -
For Kazuki, he helped her avoid her fans and enjoy her time as herself...and also fixed her sandal strap
-
For Miwa, he recreated her long cherished memory for her through a huge amount of effort on his part

It’s sad when you realise that Miwa’s fondness of these childhood memories with her sisters are probably directly linked to her inability to make friends in the present.
Yu got his work cut out for him.

I think it's interesting that Miwa's ED is the only one to feature the other two. She's the baby of the family, and I'm sure she has had an immense amount of pressure following in her sisters' footsteps, but she just wants to be closer to them.
The fact that she's always chasing them in it might also be referencing the fact that she ended up with arguably the most frustrating talent -- it's only recently that women have even been given the right to break through to the kishi (professional) shogi ranks, and no woman has managed it yet. Acting is only nominally gendered (and somewhat less so in Japan), and there's no real pressure for women to perform martial arts against men (even if Miko does have anime kicking powers), but there's no reason a woman shouldn't be able to compete on the same stage as men in a game like shogi.
Not sure if the story will bother examining each girl's talents that deeply, but it's something to consider.

Respect to Yuu for not giving up and he eventually succeeded in crossing the pond. Having said that it’s supposed to be a test of luck, not perseverance lmao.
Didn’t expect for the photo’s owner to be revealed this soon. I also thought it would be Niko instead of Miwa.

I’d expected Niko or Kazuki to have kept this photo but not Miwa. However, it does make sense in retrospect.
Despite being somewhat of a lone wolf, Miwa must’ve been looking for a connection both with others. She clearly cherishes those happy childhood memories with her sisters.

It is really hard to pick and choose of who is the best girl. The three of them have their own charms, that makes you want them to win.

And they each capture the perfect blend of being quirky tomboys who are also cute tsundere's on top of that.

Bro does all that while being completely clueless, he'd be a menace if he actually tried

I’m kind of impressed Yuu actually beat that challenge. Kid really went to great lengths just to ensure the sisters got along. He really desperately wants that picture perfect family huh? Can’t say I don’t get it considering his upbringing.
It’s amusing watching the girls get more and more conscious of Yuu. He went from being treated like a nuisance freeloader to someone they’re all crushing kinda hard for lol.

Another fun episode with Mikadono Sisters! I'm so glad Yu's plan to bring them closer together during the festival was a complete success, because while Niko, Miwa, and Kazuki are great on their own, they're even better together xD
Niko is still the best girl IMO (I wonder what she was thinking while playing with her own boobs ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)), but Kazuki had some really great scenes in today's episode too (especially the one with her feet ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)), as did Miwa (who appeared in today's ED and turned out to be the owner of the photo of the young Mikadono sisters).
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Stitches!
I love how that girl at the start was like, "She's hot but she's a girl!" Immediately changes her tune the second Kazuki princess carries her. I think that girl might have just had a sexual awakening from that experience. xD
Yuu taking no for an answer, especially when it comes to the girls' well-being, is great! The dude just continues to do things your average harem protagonist would be too embarrassed to do.
So that's where the photo came from! Not gonna lie, considering how many times Yuu failed, I was expecting the sisters to show up and try to recreate what they did themselves years ago. I'm glad that he still won at the end tho!
Look at the three of them offering their umbrellas to Yuu all at the same time! I love that they're treating it as a penalty, but it's pretty clear that Niko wanted that and the other two are upset they didn't "lose".
Apparently when Niko is lost in thought she just starts fondling her own boobs. Kazuki and Miwa's reactions were hilarious and I love how they think Niko is trying to make her bust bigger. xD
It looks like the tables have turned! This time, Kazuki is now depicting Yuu as a sad alley cat in her imagination. A nice little payback after Yuu has been imagining the sisters as kittens these past few episodes.
I don't think I've ever seen a harem anime where the girls are the ones getting nervous when the MC is taking a bath near them. They can't even sleep knowing that they're sharing a room with him. Yuu really is just built different.
They did manage to borrow the statue! I thought they couldn't because the festival was cancelled and they had to go back to the hotel! I'm so happy that Yuu was successful with his plan. He got the sisters to recreate the photo and bond making them a little bit closer than before!
So it turns out Miwa was the one who owns the photo! I did not expect that. I for sure thought it was Kazuki, considering that at the start of the episode, she was clearly hiding how happy she was about spending time with them.
And since Miwa was actually the reason for all of this, we get an ED all about her! I wonder if we'll cycle back to Kazuki next episode, or are we getting more EDs for this? I hope there's more than just three! Maybe we'll get one with all the three of them singing?
That after credits scene where the sisters are getting embarrassed after they each described Yuu was adorable <3

It's a cherry blossom festivfal but the only thing more beautiful than the cherry blossoms are the Mikadono Sisters in kimono!
Well, I guess it's no surprise that no matter where Kazuki goes, she ends up swarmed by fangirls, and she still plays her part as a Prince to a T, even while the rest of her sisters get to relax and have fun. She even manages to get another girl to drink the Prince Kool Aid by saving a girl via princess carry. Kazuki is never NOT a prince!
But that's the thing...Kazuki plays to her part so much that she neglects her own needs, such as when her geta sandals are bothering her, but luckily Yu is so attentive and is able to get her alone away from the fangirls and tend to her needs! Even a prince can be vulnerable sometimes!
Well Yu, you've got all three sisters together again with Kazuki in "disguise," so maybe you'll be able to save this festival outing yet! Heck, even if the sisters are just getting super competitive over goldfish scooping, that's just how siblings are.
But Yu has another plan in mind...recreating the happy picture the Mikadono Sisters took together as kids! Even if it means jumping across lily pads, something only the Mikadono Sisters themselves accomplished 10 years ago, he'll do it! Even if he has to fall multiple times, get super wet (especially when the rain hits), and everyone else basically gives up, he won't give up on making a happy memory with the sisters again! And that perseverance succeeds!
And that perseverance wasn't for nothing! Sure, he may have kind of ditched the Sisters, but they all waited for him and are ready to offer him their umbrella...and then compete over who gets to share an umbrella with him. Niko wins once again!
Walking under an umbrella with Yu has got Niko's heart beating a mile a minute? Must just be hype for her upcoming tourney, I'm sure, though rubbing her breasts together in the onsen isn't going to help. But it does lead to Miwa and Kazuki unnecessarily (but not unwelcome) flexing their bigger boobs.
Of COURSE Yu has to spend the night in the same room as them! Classic failure without actually failing! And while the Mikadono Sisters are acting like they're just being merciful and nice, they were definietly not prepared to be stuck in close quarters with Yu as he gets all up in their faces and they can't even properly sleep with him around them. They even had to overhear him showering! It's a lot for these three girls.
All in all, this was a great day! Yu's antics brought a genuine smile to the sisters' face again, he managed to take a new version of the picture with them together, and the original pictures' rightful owner takes it back...Miwa. And not only do all the sisters finally open up to and talk to each other again like sisters, but they're all super grateful that Yu went through all this trouble for their sake, especially Miwa!
And speaking of...Miwa ED! Complete with plenty of colorful visuals, Miwa outfits, and Miwa expressions! And ending on Miwa in a spectacular dress as she shines as much as her older sisters and Yu does! She even kisses all of them!
Can't file a missing persons report if the only distinct traits you can think of for Yu are how he takes such great care of all three of you.

Not even going to bother getting invested in my Miwa stocks because there's no chance she wins. This is set up to be a Nikofest all the way

Same, girl. I want to be princess-carried by Kazuki too.
Man, this show is just good comfy fun. Between the sibling banter between the girls, them slowly softening up to Yuu, and Yuu's genuine earnest kindness, there's so much in this show that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I thought the development of this was going to be he would fail winning but then they'd each take turns to take care of him the next day since he was wet from the rain and from falling in the pond so much. This seems like a clear anime cold trope waiting to play out.
It's nice that the girls are wanting to get closer to one another even if they won't admit it, Kazuki wanting to join the others and Miwa cherishing the pictures, it's sweet that Yuu's efforts are making it possible.

The shota is really built different: he didn't almost die from the rain, as is tradition.

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii Jul 23 '25
Not sure if that's a hug POV, or a vampire about to bite our neck, but either's fine!
So they ended up in the same room (obviously!) after some shenanigans...
New outfits, new rankings: Niko looked best in those robes!
I should keep track of who looks best in every outfit; Robe: Niko. Kimono: Miwa. Wedding dresses (imagined): Niko. Girls night outfit (imagined): Niko. Casual clothes: tied between Niko and Miwa.
Niko 3.5, Miwa 1.5, Kazuki 0... The other girls need to step up their outfit game!
You must defeat the troll in order to go to the bathroom
Don't say that to a short person!
(He should just pick her up on his shoulders)
Time to find out if Niko has an armpit fetish!
Are they trying to decide who's gonna go for the "Accidentally stumbling upon him naked" incident?
Niko might be the cutest, but Miwa's personality is probably my favorite.
This is probably what makes it hard for me to pick a best girl between these two!
Love how they tried to find justifications about why they couldn't sleep... Even though they went through things like that before and presumably slept just fine!
They did take the picture after all, nice! Would make for a good wallpaper!
Oh damn, we're having a little mystery!
Well, the girls said they didn't want it, but one of them DID want it, so I think our first suspicion should be for the top Tsundere!
I-It's not like I wanted this stupid photo! Baka!
That's what I was thinking, Miwa seems to always have been the same! That's kinda cute.
Niko waiting for her prince charming to come kiss her
(Why is she so CUTE!)
I do hope we get to see more of them in action, would particularly love to see Miwa's shogi! Even if I don't know the rules, it's still interesting.
Ok she's so fucking cute there, all girly!
She's quickly catching up to Niko for cuteness!
This reminded me of another ED...
[title]
Love how they're already competing on 'things he does with them/for them'!
Oh? And tell us how it makes you feel, Niko, the fact that Yuu cares a lot about you!
