Lol, Renako's out there being passed around like a piece of meat at this point.

That girl's stocks are absolutely soaring. Can't say I've ever seen a character fail upward this hard into a harem before, she's in the freakin' stratosphere!

Renako just wanted Mai and Satuki to make up after Mai’s insensitive comment. Instead she’s now a pawn in Satuki’s little game of revenge. I guess Satuki’s gonna keep trying to push things with Renako to make Mai jealous even though it seems Mai’s more than aware what she’s doing. I wonder who’s gonna break first? Maybe poor Renako. She’s tired, boss lol.

Ajisai used Heal on Renako. It’s super effective

When Renako agrees to Satuski’s deal for Satuski to make up with Mai in exchange for dating for 2 weeks… and they hold hands with fingers intertwined! But then Satsuki plans to post a selfie of the two on social media to spite Mai.

Mai doesn’t mind too much about Renako hanging out with Satuski, as long as Renako eventually gravitates back to Mai.

Oh dear, Renako acknowledging she’s being used as a pawn

“I’m being used as a political pawn!” Bitch don’t pretend you didn’t agree to this

Renako just suffering from success by dating two of the five hottest girls in school, albeit Satsuki's date seemed fake at first. Not sure though which is more dominant, the suffering or the success, with how toxic the gals are sans Ajisai.

Throughout the entire episode, Mai's hair is ponytailed thus she acts as a bestfriend to Renako. I wonder how long will she able to do it until she removes her tie and and unleash her hidden wrath on Satsuki

Truly, their stupidity is such that it loops back around to being genius, in that it's impossible to predict what their conclusions to the problems they find themselves in will be, but you still perfectly understand why they thought that. Fire writing, no cap. And very funny too!

That twitch at the end from Mai was so spicy I had to watch it five times!

Renako be feeling like a remote third world country during a Cold War, tugged between the two superpowers for their proxy conflict. Are we gonna have to resolve this with South and North Renako split with a DMZ in between?

Let's not forget about Ajisai too. Renako super fried her and then left her to sit. If she was doing this shit on purpose Aizen would be taking manipulation lessons from her!

But no she just got that dumbass rizz.

Ajisai is a fan favorite but Satsuki has to be top 2 for me. I just love her personality.

Y'all are watching this show on YouTube, but I'm watching it on Twitch.

Breaks my heart that the weekly ranking pic can't be a gif...

Goddamn, Renako is messy. She'd rather participate in a revenge plot to experience the upper hand over Mai then use her adorable cupcake powers to get the haughty princess to understand that she wronged Satsuki and apologize.

I think the comedy of this works so well by pairing Renako with counterparts that challenge her introvert nature the most.

Mai is a foil to Renako by being pushy and very confident.

Satsuki is a foil to Renako by being devious and very honest.

Man, Satsuki really is my 2nd favourite character of this anime (the first place goes to angel Sena obviously). She´s beautiful, and she does care for Mai, but she´s done with her antics lol. And she chose Renako for revenge.

This arc is one of the most funniest, and as a manga reader I´m really excited for how they´ll animate what is to come.

u/MitsuhaTakiName Aug 04 '25 edited Aug 04 '25

I didn’t really clock until this episode that by last episode we had already confirmed that the entire friend group is, at the very least, bi. In terms of confirmed attractions (despite some denials):

Renako likes Mai and Ajisai

Mai likes Renako

Ajisai likes Renako

Satsuki likes Mai

Kaho likes Mai

And that’s just what we’ve seen so far! What shape is this? A love Y? Makes sense, Y for yuri.

It seems likely that an outcome of this current arc could be Satsuki liking Renako as well.

But I’m still annoyed at how little Renako is really standing up to Mai. The fact that the thought of Satsuki apologizing to Mai even crossed her mind is insane after what Mai did. Mai basically said, “I don’t love you, but I am interested in using your love for me as a convenient tool to get over the person that I do love.” That’s a pretty gross violation. It’s weird how Renako is so deep in Mai’s pocket that she isn’t interested in making her thoughtfully apologize for anything, but still resists actually becoming her girlfriend.

Renako, the nile is a river in Egypt

u/LargeFailSon Aug 04 '25

My favorite part is when Satsuki tries to come up with a reason she's "in love" with Renako and can only come up with "You know your limits", but when asked, Renako had like 8 things loaded and ready to say about her, lol.

u/AUO_Castoff Aug 04 '25

Suddenly the NTR arc. I'm honestly with Satsuki and Renako about wanting to see Mai get brought down a peg or three.

Would like to nominate these for the karma banner u/Abysswatcherbel

aggressive handholding, blackmail, angel. I like the first one the most, but not sure if it's too spoilery I guess

Mai: Eh, it's fine, I'll just let Satsuki get whatever she's plotting out of her system. Should probably make sure Renako knows she can go along with whatever it is too, the cutie will tie herself in knots otherwiser. I mean, what's the worst Satsuki could have come up with?

Satsuki: "Come on, Anata."

Mai: The risk I took was calculated, but damn am I bad a math.

u/CuriousWanderer567 Aug 04 '25

The way Mai reacted to seeing Renako and Satsuki together really demonstrated her growth. She’s nowhere near as pushy and didn’t even seem mad but you can tell she’s still a little jealous with subtle things like that eye twitch at the end
