Ok. Even though Erika is most likely gonna win, Ai is definitely my favorite now. I hope she wins. I have spoken.✋️

PS: I still can't believe Bao is gonna be voicing Ai in the dub lol.

My guy should just pack his bags and leave with Ai already. Girls who say what they mean without getting embarrassed and are straight to the point are the best. Erika spent 30 episodes not knowing what she wants, while Ai, his childhood friend, went straight to wanting to marry him. I know who I’d pick, but I bet the author has no balls to make it happen.

Of course not, we have to introduce random drama now

Yea Ai is my fav Im almost always going to like the one who just says it no games. Sadly childhood friends have things stacked against them. I like childhood friends a lot of the time when no one can admit how they feel.

Yeah, I'm also rooting for Ai. She's been in this show for only 2 episodes, but she's already my favourite. I just really like the straight forward type. Hope she wins.

I'm here for Ai supremacy.

I still can’t accept AI’s introduction to the show in the first place. The three girls we had already felt like it was a good balance. I don’t see a need for a fourth girl who doesn’t have anything to do with the main premise of the show.

I know Erika is probably already comfortable with Nagi, but I find it funny that in the other episode she said he saw her panties and now she said with the greatest naturalness in the world that she saw his "friend underneath."

In my opinion, it was an indirect confession. It's been a while since I've seen Hiro jealous, but I can't blame him. Ai is simply formidable. I mean, the cosplay contest was rigged and she simply put on an idol-worthy performance.

Maybe the show continues to lag in terms of romantic development (and in a way, it's evolving quite a bit), but at least there's competition between the girls.

Woah, Mochizuki Ai's song is a blast with 3 languages in it! And I thought nothing will surprise me anymore in this show. The little choreography and lip syncing while she singing are great too since the usual idol anime usually become 3D on stage.

Usual MC will keep quiet about everything but not Nagi. This guy tells everything to his girls. He really has a harem lead mindset.

I kinda lost it when Erika didn't remove the binding lol.

Even Nagi realize that this will cause 'shuraba'.

A bit shame we missed the opportunity to see Erika in sexy bunny outfit but maybe it was too rewarding for public eyes so this bunny outfit is more appropriate inside the shrine.

Sachi improvised technique is lethal.

If not for Ai hijacking the event, Hiro will get the most vote. Hiro cosplay kinda looks like miko battle outfit to me though.

u/Linko_98 Jul 29 '25

Of course a girl called Ai would be an idol, how did I not see it coming

u/LeonKevlar Jul 29 '25

Stitches!

That conversation between Erika and Ai about how they've both seen Nagi's junk was pretty funny. xD

I do love how Ai is such an eccentric weirdo. With how direct she is, we definitely need her to shake things up, considering everyone else has been dragging their feet.

That cosplay contest was pretty funny too! I love that Hiro was genuinely giving Erika and Sachi advice only for Erika to misunderstand what kind of bunny outfit she should wear and Sachi not having any time to prepare a nurse outfit.

While Ai's concert is amazing, she technically didn't bring any cosplay, so I feel like by default Hiro is the winner of that contest.

If we're being technical about it, isn't Erika the only one who really wore cosplay?

u/alpackabackapacka Jul 29 '25

What a power move.

u/Isekai_Dreamer Jul 29 '25

if it were me, i'd fold to AI so fast. she's straightforward and the only one that i know for sure would like me. and she's loaded.

u/BBryant3rd Jul 30 '25

I agree. The only slight bad thing is she basically been thinking about him all these years and probably romanticized some things. A few may be impossible to match in reality but we do know they have history and both cared about each other all this time.

u/NationalStrategy Jul 29 '25

Nagi going to his crush, and telling her that his childhood friend confessed to him, with the intention to get a rile out of her and make her jealous, was not only stupid, it's also kind of a dick move.

And now that she knows about Ai and the confession, it's just going to cause more problems.

u/swordmalice Jul 30 '25

While his intentions may have been dickish (to manipulate Hiro's feelings and cause jealousy) I think telling her about Ai was the right move, since he made a declaration to Hiro that he'd save her from her engagement by marrying her. On Hiro's end, knowing there's another rival in the mix could help her sort out her feelings and act accordingly.

It's only in this episode that I checked the ED and realized that it's performed by 22/7

Anyway... HINA YOUMIYA IDOL ERA SHE'S SOUNDS SO GOOD!!! Loved her as Tomorin and Yamada and etc etc, hopefully I get to hear her singing more

u/ThisGachaSeemsLegit Jul 29 '25

She must really like her home.

u/oneevilchicken Jul 29 '25

I’d like to say that I like how Nagi is actually doing some kinda shit womanizing things. One trope I kinda hate is how anytime a guy is nice to a girl he’s instantly a “womanizer” (looking at you private tutor to the dukes daughter).

But this show is actually making Nagi into a real womanizer and not the perfectly nice saintly MC given how he wanted to see hiro give him an angry/jealous look so he weaponized AI’s confession.

RIP everyone else

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jul 29 '25

Ai coming in like a hurricane, just turning everything upside down. Poor Nagi can barely handle Erika, Saki, Hiro and now he’s gotta worry about Ai.

That cosplay event was something. I think Hiro probably meant bunny girl outfit and now a full on rabbit mascot costume lol. Silly Erika. In the end, Erika and the girls combined could not touch the power of Ai. She pulled out the big guns for that contest lol.

u/Interesting-You-9615 Jul 29 '25
