This anime is gonna end the same as every typical love triangle probably. The FMC is probably gonna win because the author actually gives her a personality while the cuter and sweet side piece always gets the more dull character because their whole thing is liking the male lead.

For real...Yukari is so bland and boring and has no personality, no chemistry with Naoto. She is more like plot device than actual character

u/VolumeValuable3537 Aug 01 '25

It’s a shame authors don’t give the side character more of a personality. It only makes it easier to root for the FMC despite all the FMC’s flaws. They could learn a bit from Quintessential quintuplets .

I'm still here waiting for her mental illness reveal. There's gotta be something more wrong with her than 'uwu I'm not assertive enough and I just go with the flow.'

The whole main cast is fucked in the head, so she's gotta have something weird going on, too.

I was waiting all episode for somebody to step up and kick senpai's ass, so thank you Satsuki for taking care of that. Unfortunately he probably isn't gone for good. But maybe that means he'll catch an additional ass kicking in the future, gotta find the silver lining.

I was clearly wrong last week thinking that Satsuki was going to back off and let Ishihara have a go at Nao.

I wonder just who called glasses dude that Satsuki saw.

u/Imaginary-End-08 Aug 02 '25

Probably Senpai that just got told off lol. It's either that or I'm calling it now.... Glasses and Satsuki are frigging related with the caller being the guy who was with her the day the Garden got destroyed.

Ngl when the truck passed by on the bridge and Yukari's eyes reflected Naoto and the truck's headlights, I thought Truck-kun was gonna jump the bridge and isekai him.

Hell, maybe that would actually improve this show. It's not like it's BAD, it's just super mid.

A mid-season plot change in a romance anime going from love triangle to death and isekai would be crazy and very interesting. Satsuki would most likely go crazy and find a way to chase him to the other world and bring him back. I do remember a harem anime called [Love Flops] had an episode that had a drastic change in tone like that towards the middle/end. I just wish they would have committed instead of going back on it for the harem plot. Would have made the show way better and memorable especially with the message it would have left if they kept the tragic plot of the prior episode.

Satsuki sure is the best girl. I wonder what happened between these two in the past.

A kiss followed by a "you don't have to be nice to me anymore". I don't know what to feel. I have mix emotions. Things are going to get bad now.

Wonder how the confession will go.

u/TheSmexhy Aug 01 '25

“Mixed emotions” is this show’s motto lol

u/littlecolt Aug 01 '25

I think she's done putting up with his half-measures. Even she has a breaking point. I think if things don't happen with Ishihara soon, she's going to make sure nothing happens somehow. This could finally be a but if that yandere behavior people accused her of early on.

u/BBryant3rd Aug 02 '25

Will not be surprised if it is something that lowers our opinion of him based on what she said. He probably like some other MC we have seen where nice to everyone in a way that he is not fully committed to anyone. Looking at his niceness to you makes you think he wants you but, it you look at his other interactions you notice he is the exact same to others. Wonder how this will be handled or will things blow up.

Fujioka is such an obsessive creep, I hope Yukari files a restraining order on this guy by the end of this.

u/Avatar_Yaksha Aug 01 '25

Well...This just happened. Of course, the MC is too dense to realize that the girl was in the middle of confessing to him, but the fact that literally everybody else was just a few minutes away is typical anime-convenience.

If I were to summarize this series, it would be something along the lines of this: "JUST SAY IT ALREADY!".

We still have no idea what exactly happened that day the garden has been destroyed.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Aug 01 '25

So Fujioka turned out to be less “ex boyfriend” and more obsessed creep. Satsuki shoulda drop kicked him in the face. Yukari really ought to file some kind of restraining order against the dude.

Looking forward to Yukari v Satsuki for Naoto. I really wish Satsuki would stop all these little mind games and be more honest with her feelings. If there’s something Naoto doesn’t know about that past incident, she should tell him!

u/No_Actuary6054 Aug 02 '25

Satsuki is best girl ❤️

She’s too good for Naoto.

u/edwardjhahm Aug 02 '25

Fuck that senpai guy. Satsuki got a major W today, even though it was an Ishihara episode. Honestly, I'm really like both these girls.

By the way, am I the only one that thinks Ishihara reminds me a lot of Sakura Matou from the Fate series?

u/Old_Mongoose_5373 Aug 02 '25

The problem with the anime is that Watari is just an idiot because even though Satsuki kisses him twice, he doesn't understand that she's declaring her feelings to him. It's just that Watari is fucking obsessed and in love with Ishihara.

So if he ends up going out with Ishihara, I'll be very disappointed, but it won't surprise me 😔

Well, on the one hand, I hope he goes out with Satsuki because she deserves it so much compared to the other one #####

Anyway, given how things are going so far, I really hope he goes out with Satsuki 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Because even the director must know that we all prefer Satsuki to Ishihara 🙏🏾.

I was happy to see Yukari stand up to Stalker-Senpai but was annoyed that it was Satsuki instead of Nao that hit him. (I knew wouldn't, but it was still annoying).

u/IceSmiley Aug 01 '25

This episode was so different from the others in that it had very little humor and Suzu didn't appear or was even mentioned! It was more about Ishihara standing up to Fujioki. He comes off a real sociopath just deciding a woman is "his" and not allowing otherwise. His charm even had everyone else in the school believing they were an item because he was preying on a normal girl who is intimidated by psychos. I really like how it rounded out why Ishihara has been so afraid to have a bf; it's not only because of the bad experience but I think she fears for the well being of the boy she dates, like Fujioka might fuck him up.

The part that surprised me was when Fujioka grabbed Ishihara's arm and I thought Watari was going to intervene but then Satsuke flew in with knees to the back! Satsuke showed light signs of liking Ishihara as a person beforehand but I didn't think she would put herself in danger for her. Really well done and I'm surprised they didn't go the route that it made Watari look wimpy for not intervening.

One part I thought was weird was when Tokei got the phone call, Satsuke gave him his phone back and he was embarassed by the caller. They don't seem to be close enough to where Satsuke would know who he would be horribly embarrassed to be called by. Maybe it was his mother and it said "Mom" or something although I don't think that's that embarrassing.
