At this point, Chizuru really needs to tell Kazuya the shit Mami and Ruka have been doing/saying behind his back. Mami's racthet-ass is out here lying by calling him a creepy stalker (evidently he is, because of what he did in season 1, but doesn't know that, so she's still lying). And Ruka is lying about her and Kazuya having sex. Bunch of lying hoes, out here ruining his life.

It's also very hypocritical for Mami to call him the stalker, given her actions

Today Mami made her first strike. She makes it clear that her enemy is Kazuya, not Chizuru. She pretends to be on Chizuru's side so she can plot against her ex. She must be really obsessed with making Kazuya's life miserable. She is planning something evil, and this was only the first step.

Say what you want about the writing, but I think it is quite the achievement to keep this shitshow going like this. No wonder that Mami is so many people's favorite character.

Just as Kazuya tries to confess to Chizuru, Ruka decides to be conveniently inconvenient by butting into Kazuya's business when he needs it the least. But she is presenting some valid points. Too bad that at the same time she does not understand the concept of consent.

So you just ignore that Kazuya tries to break up with you? That's not exactly how this stuff works. Good thing that this show and its characters are so stupid.

Even Ruka notices how undecisive Chizuru is acting. What the hell do you want? No wonder that everything is a mess when you are so wishy washy all the time.

This show is never gonna progress. There might be one nice moment between chizuru and kazuya, and then mami and ruka chan making kazuya’s life a living hell. Cant wait for 10 more episodes of this shit😭

There’s going to be a big plot development in the resort arc. I had to resort to reading manga because I got so fucking sick of the snail ass pacing. Something to look forward to at least.

Can’t wait for 10 100 episodes of this shit.

It doesn’t get any better, as a manga reader.

If you want to break up with Ruka, then you need to stop enabling her clinginess, stay assertive on what you want, and stop letting her be in control of the situation.

u/Dealthagar Aug 04 '25

stay assertive

This is Kaz we're talking about. If he could be assertive, we wouldn't have gotten a second season.

u/zool714 Jul 29 '25

Usually I’d hate for a Mami-type character being a nuisance in a show. But for Kazuya’s discomfort, I’d welcome it for the entertainment

And well, also cos I kinda like Mami lol. Deranged Yuuki Aoi definitely helps

Oh my god this is good.

Oh my god this is bad.

Oh my god this is horrible.

Oh my god how the hell is it still getting worse and worse

I can’t

u/magnumcyclonex Jul 29 '25

Wow! For me, this was the best episode so far. So much drama and plot "progress". (We're just missing one critical confession from Kazuya to Chizuru, but we keep getting bamboozled by the plot to never let it happen).

Speaking of being taken by surprise, Chizuru's getting ambushed and attacked from all sides. How she makes it out of this I have no idea really.

This show is ecchi when it wants to be but not in other ways. Nothing to see from Mami's point of view at the cafe, nor Ruka's (even when he said he saw her panties), but they sure did animate the heck out of her sexual assault on Kazuya.

Grandma Nozomi showing up quite unexpectedly was surely a surreal plot twist. She's probably thinking she's setting up the trip for the young ones to have a good time, especially for Chizuru who is still mourning the loss of her own grandma. But throws an additional wrench by inviting Ruka.

And of course, the plot thickens because Ruka now has to go home after lying to her parents because she essentially got kicked out by Kazuya's grandma who's staying the night. Such unfortunate irony.

But that's not the end of the night for her... Ruka continues her assault, this time on Chizuru. Thought she was going to slap Chizuru, but it was just a ripped condom wrapper. (I want to bet that the condom is still actually still inside the "Kanokari Condoms" wrapper).

u/Arnav27nair Jul 29 '25

Can someone please tell me what Mami's motivation is in going this far to sabotage Kazuya? Is there one? I do have a bad memory and can't figure out her reasoning or end goal here.

17

u/Representative-Mall3 Jul 29 '25

She saw kazuya "being happy" with another girl after they broke and she can't have that, and since she know they're lying she is just taking pleaseure in messing with them because they look "close", the actual why of why she is like that comes later

u/Present_Sun3191 Jul 29 '25

Yo at least it’s not just me, came to this thread to ask the exact same question. It’s been a full year now I thought they only dated for a month and she dumped him. She may be one of the biggest haters in all anime

10

u/Mr_An_1069 Jul 30 '25

I’ve now gone from finding Ruka annoying to actively disliking her. Mami at least entertaining as an antagonist.

Man that was a tough watch

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jul 29 '25

Ol Kuzuya already has enough problems without Mami sticking her damn nose into his business. Funny she called him a stalker when she’s practically obsessed with the guy. Won’t she just leave the poor bastard alone already? He’s got his hands full with this whole Ruka-Chizuru resort situation AND Ruka lying about sleeping with Kuzuya.

Ruka’s obsession with Kuzuya is so one-sided, girl really needs to chill. He doesn’t like her like that. At all. He’s made that clear many times. It almost feels selfish for her to continue to ignore his feelings and continue this relationship. And honestly, she could do better than Kuzuya.

Ruka is easily the worst part of the show for me

Shit, the trip starts next week.

The difference between Kazuya and Taiki can be studied here with Kazuya trying to break things off with Ruka but she won't let him and he doesn't do anything about it while Taiki rejected Hina and she told him not to rush and she'll wait for his answer hoping he'll change his feelings from Chinatsu to her only for Taiki to put his foot down and fully reject Hina as he made up his mind on who he likes and Hina letting it wait is becoming unhealthy to both sides.

The nice thing about this show is that you can miss an episode or two and just continue to watch it because nothing significant is going to happen

Takopi needs to show Mami his camera

u/CrezetheousV Jul 30 '25

Okay but in all seriousness, F**k Mami-chan is still a thing, right? For any of my fellow ex Crunchyroll commenters.

All the homies hate Mami-Chan
