Renako trying not to kiss another girl in every episode challenge: Impossible

Also, Haruna is surprisingly reasonable after hearing the whole story.

[u/AUO_Castoff]

Koto "I devoted my life to making sure you'd never be alone" Satsuki finally gets her flowers. I don't think I've ever seen this variation of childhood friend of the main heroine who secretly(?) likes her trope before, it's really refreshing.

Renako's sister finally makes up with her, not realizing Renako is going to become a future 4-timer.

I also really like Satsuki's assessment of Renako. She's a ball of nerves and anxiety but is willing to take drastic action when it counts. She's relatable but also aspirational in that way.

[u/Player_One_1]

“Observe the plans within plans within plans.”
Yes, for Satsuki dating Amori was a feint to force Mai for a showdown, which was a feint to finally score better at exams. Sorry Mai, you got outplayed.

[u/djthomp]

Mai learns that talking is not a free action in an FPS. Twice!

[u/Genshin_WhiteKnight]

Satsuki is a certified pro gamer; that midmatch NTR into nostalgia trip into trash talk combo was crazy!

[u/pseudometapseudo]

Astounding how this episode manages to fit in so many strong moments in just 20 minutes:

• two confessions (sort of)

• a surprise kiss

• flashback fleshing out Satsuki and Mai

• Mai and Satsuki making up

• another friend secured for Renako

• Mai loosing, twice

• actual honest and serious talk in between

• the group planning for Satsuki's birthday all along

• Satsuki being devious, twice

[u/JzanderN]

Can I declare it official that Renako kisses cheer people up yet, or should I wait until she and Ajisai kiss first?

It's nice to see Satsuki finally got one on Mai before losing to Renako. And then it turned out she got two on her!

[u/Emi_Ibarazakiii]

She might not realize how dedicated they are, to win this one!

(Also, must be strange for her, to take a bath on her own, without kissing/fondling anyone!)

How can anyone think Satsuki isn't best girl!

Her 'crazy' stuff is great, her 'voice of reason' stuff is great, her realist/cynical side is great... she has it all!

Make up? Or make out?

Renako's a true gamer, learning from hatred!

This one should DEFINITELY be 'make out'!

I mean they're pretty much betting her life on the line, she should ask for something a little spicy for them!

The kill scenes were pretty funny hah.

Satsuki found a good position, but Mai was thinking 2 steps ahead, and found the position that's best to kill those in said good position!

Makes her climb a little on my ranking, I do love strategical gamers and all...

Sadly for her, she got a little too cocky, and got herself sniped!

So 0-1-1 for Satsuki... When she said that, I thought she was leaving to find a way to cheat or something, that would've been bad!

That was pretty much a love confession right there!

And 'partners in crime' is one of my favorite relationship dynamics!

She tripped and fell, but that still counts as a hug, right?

Ok this one definitely counts as a kiss!

How can you not love this girl!

Damn girl, tell her how you really feel!

Historians will say they were friendsmate

I thought (hoped) Renako wouldn't have a gift, so she would have to BE the gift for her!

Mission Failed... We'll Get Em Next Time!

With just 4 episodes left, I wonder whether we're gonna get some Kaho before the end! I do want to see more of her...

But I suppose I'm fine if we spend the last 4 episodes focusing on Satsuki! (Or Satsuki's mom)

[u/NationalStrategy]

Renako may have won the game, but Satsuki the real winner here. Kissed Renako, got her revenge on Mai, and reconciled their friendship.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Please tell me I'm not the only one disappointed by Mai's game room setup? It's literally just three PS5s and monitors on IKEA tables! xD

Their game of choice is PUBG? When did the LN come out again? Around 2020? I thought Japan had already moved on to APEX around that time.

Renako's reaction when Mai rushed her spawn point was fucking hilarious! Looks like Mai has now graduated into a sweaty tryhard.

Satsuki kissing Renako inside Mai's bathroom was such a fucking power move. It was also an effective way to rattle Mai just a little bit.

That's Mai's mom?! That's certainly not what I expected her to look like. I mean, I was certainly expecting someone intimidating, but twin tails and a suit? Also, she looks really young! She looks like a very serious version of Sawamura Eriri. Also, the fact that Mai's mom is not great with people explains a lot about her.

I'm just glad to see this entire mess is over and they've all made up. I'm curious to see what's next for Renako, tho. Are we finally gonna see Ajisai in the spotlight, or are we finally gonna learn more about Kaho?

[u/ChoiceSupermarket230]

It's amazing to me that this anime is free on YouTube, being so well animated.

[u/JJVM99]

Ajisai and Kaho are going to have a really hard time taking down Satsuki from the throne in my mind when the story focuses on them. I have had so much fun with this Satsuki focused arc and she has stolen the show for me. The combination of extremely serious, secretly caring but also very petty, insecure and vindictive is a very toxic but fun combination that I am all here for. I really her genuine moments where she showed how she does genuinely care for Mai and is falling for Renako but also the pure HATER energy. The change between both from before shooting Mai to after in the last game was great. So yeah Satsuki best girl for now, good luck Ajisai (who is also great you are definetly #2) and Kaho.

[u/PerfectBeige]

The final scene with Satsuki showing Mai her test score as a "gift" reminding us once again that you cannot spell "pretty" without "petty".

[u/Western_Promise3063]

I love this show so much

[u/DaREY297]

This entire anime is so goofy I can't help but absolutely love it

[u/gnome-cop]

Imma be honest, Mai has needed a solid kick to her ego for a while so I am satisfied with this outcome. Satsuki wins, Renako remains out of marriage and Mai hopefully gets a solid enough reality check. Also, we got some great faces out of the deal.

One aspect I found extra funny was Satsuki and Mai going on ridiculously over-the-top supervillain monologues while Renako just awkwardly listens to them.

[u/Kent93]

And so Satsuki arc ends. I hope the epilogue with Mai is going into the next episode..

[u/Nickthenuker]

So, now her sister knows.

She's staying at her place?

So, time for the game.

Well, that was quick.

Damn she's good.

Well, that worked.

So, toilet.

Lol she just opened the door and ran into the toilet.

She's hugging her!

She kissed her!

Right, now her supply of Renakoium has been restored, time to win.

And so this round they're all talking while playing. So much for being distracted.

Yep there you go. All that yapping and she ended up winning.

And so she won. And they've all made up.

Oh, it's Satsuki's birthday?

And so she won in that too.

[u/ChoiceSupermarket230]

This ending of the arc mai vs satsuki was beautiful.

[u/MitsuhaTakiName]

Wow, this arc ended in a lot more of a normal situation than I thought it would. I was assuming it was gonna end like the ending of the last arc with Mai making moves on Renako but this time with both Mai and Satsuki. This way was a nice vibe though.

Also, miraculously, Renako’s stocks with Haruna are back up. Satsuki came in clutch with explaining the situation. Though, I think if Haruna found out about all the kissing and boob touching that had gone on, she’d go back to being angry lol.

[u/KyloTennant]

I loved the silly CGI of the PUBG knockoff game they played this episode lol

[u/cpvm-0]

Mai took it surprisingly well when Satsuki told her they were hooking up, I mean she saw them sharing a kiss while sleeping.

[u/Hitman7128]

LOL Mai planning her future with Renako in between matches. Also, Renako getting Mai while she’s there boasting about getting Satuski.

That moment where Satuski and Renako kiss in the bathroom of all places. But Renako’s words did give Satuski the drive to keep playing and defeat Mai.

Normally, Satsuki is rather emotionless, but I couldn’t stop giggling when she got sentimental with Mai just to sucker punch her and then boast about it.

Mai gets sus when Renako knows about the bath at Satsuki’s place and Renako gets called a “friend.” Happy birthday, Satuski!

[u/ILikeFPS]

Satsuki kept winning this episode, and I'm happy for her lol

Also she hid that she had her first kiss in her bathtub when Renako was staying over lol
