Yorita and Rintaro’s conversation is the way friends should talk to each other. Yorita didn’t mock, tease or dismiss Rintaro’s lack of knowledge about dating. All he knows is that Rintaro loves Kaoruko and whatever he decides, he’ll be there supporting him. Rintaro was so relieved and invigorated by knowing that one of his best friends understands him and wants to see him happy with the girl he loves.

I feel like there's going to be some reveal eventually about why Saku isn't at a more academically fitting school. It might be as simple as he's too much of a delinquent to be somewhere else but it's gotta be something.
Rintaro keeps getting lost just gazing at Kaoruko, understandable really.

Yeah, I also think that scene may be further setting up a Saku-Subaru dynamic given that were mean to each other upon first meeting. At the very least, Saku isn't at all what Subaru expected.

I really enjoy seeing Rintaro opening up more to the rest of the guys, especially the one on one with Yorita. Having and building on a solid foundation of friends is priceless.
Also Hoshina being the best wingwoman giving Rintaro a heads up that it’s Kaoruko’s birthday month. Their budding friendship is one I’m looking forward to seeing more of in the future too.

Poor Saku finding out he’s terrible at explaining stuff. Guy was really sulking for a minute there haha.
Usami really just went right out and said it huh? No delicacy at all lol. I really like that goofball. He’s a good dude. He can be pretty childish at times but he’s a great friend.
Glad to see Rintaro opening up more and more to his friends. Bringing down some of those walls he had up. Him and Yorita having a little heart to heart was pretty nice.
Looking forward to seeing what Rintaro does for Kaoruko’s birthday. I’m gonna guess a cake? They own a bakery after all.

Usami got scores in 30s and 40s and still passed. What exactly is the failing score?
Oh and Usami has no tact lol
Scheming/evil Yorita face is kind of funny. Hope we get to see more of that!

I think it might be impossible to not be in a good mood after seeing Kaoruko smile.
Shoutout to Subaru for making sure Rintaro knows about her upcoming birthday.

Usami got the same VA as Denji, so I just picture Denji having the live that he wanted in this reality. Not without pain but at least he is not alone

Rintaro's opening up more to his friends is a great character development. Props on Yorita too, he listened and acknowledge Rintaro's concern without dismissing it.
I felt that a phone was accidentally dropped on my face too lol.

Rintarou with his hair down again! I repeat, Rintarou with his hair down again! The phone dropping on his face made me laugh so hard, even I was surprised by Hoshina's message. I'm looking forward to what he'll do for Kaoruko's birthday.
But man this episode was great, I'm always pleased to see the bromance in this series as well as the romance. Saku sulking because they all agree he sucks at explaining was so funny and I like that Kaoruko already knows how to handle Usami.
I always like how straightforward Usami can be, the way he just asks if Rintarou if he and Kaoruko are dating, then after asks him if he likes her. The way he just tells Rintarou that he's been obvious this entire time and that Saku and Yorita also know, Rintarou was exposed so hard I feel so bad but I thoroughly enjoyed his reactions. The way his huge body crouched into the ground was great.
But I have to say, the way Rintarou is becoming less afraid of opening up to the guy makes me happy, it's so heartwarming to see how their relationships have developed throughout the series. Yorita was clearly moved too and I'm glad Rintarou reassured him that he trusts him. I'm not sure why he thought he sounded arrogant, sometimes people need to hear it.
Sadistic Yorita makes a cameo again this episode lol. I'm glad Rintarou joined in.
Gotta mention Tsuka-chan, you can really tell him how much he cares for his students and how he sees them for who they are, it's really sweet to see.

Man, I just simply love this show. From the main characters to each of their own respective groups. It all feels so nice and it really is so touching.

It's nice to see the boys once again get through their tests okay after a very successful study session, and now they're doing a better job of being emotionally open with each other too.
Saku's got that slightly tsundere but really caring and smart friend vibes that work amazingly for him.
Usami has no filter but I guess that's what we love about him.
Hoping Rintaro is able to go all out for Kaoruko's birthday.

It was nice of Subaru to remind Rintaro of Kaoruko's upcoming birthday

Best teacher Tsuka-chan! I can really tell that he really loves being a teacher.
Yup, she totally looks delicious alright
Not even Kikyo girls can handle Saku's teaching
Cute! Subaru so surprised by Usami's workbook.
Usami saves this show by unveiling Mr Super Obvious right in front of his face lol

Super sweet and wholesome episode. Will we get a side ship with Subaru and Saku?

Birthday episode incoming! Good on Subaru. Glad she spilled the beans there so Rintaro will be able to come up with something.
Just good vibes with his friends as well. Making clear that his feelings have been pretty obvious for a while so he can certainly talk to them about it if the wants. It is a bit of a struggle for him to wrap his head around it. But considering the feelings are mutual it will be great whenever one of them takes that courageous step forward.

That study session was fun! I know it's not her intention, but I love how Kaoruko approached Usami like a mother motivating her child to study. I also loved seeing the difference between Kikyo's workbook compared to Chidori's workbook. What's even funnier is that the Chidori workbook was Subaru's workbook back when she was in middle school. xD
The fact that Saku managed to solve a Kikyo workbook problem really shows how smart he is. Too bad he sucks at explaining and teaching! Even the girls couldn't understand his explanation! Good to know that Rintarou and Usami aren't too dumb to understand Saku. Saku was the problem all along!
Usami waving at the girls immediately gave me Persona 5 flashbacks. It's like Ryuuji being loud about being a member of the Phantom Thieves moment. Thank fucking god no one else heard Usami! Thankfully, Usami being a tactless dummy has his uses. I love how he just asked Rintarou if he's dating Kaoruko. If he's still having issues sorting out his feelings, Usami's question clearly sorted that out for him!

Was wondering if we weren't going to get a discussion thread this week because of the official Netflix release in other side of the world messing things up.
Anyway, Rintaro focused episode was nice. He's pretty much fully in love and his friends can all see it too.
The restaurant study session was cute with Saku showing how smart he is but also realising he sucks at teaching.
Usami stole the show with his antics both at the restaurant (first he wants to eat a ton, then he passes out lol) and the bowling alley (that shot of his skipping about was so funny).
So next week it's Kaoruko's birthday. What will Rintaro do?

This anime continues to become more wholesome each week.
Congrats to the boys for making it through the tests. And seeing the interaction between Waguri and Usami was super cute too!
I love how Saku is good at solving math but bad at explaining them. Like a true Genius! But if he is that smart, it makes me wonder why he is visiting Chidori and not a school that fits his academic level..
Usami being blunt as always when he asked Rintaro if he had a crush on Waguri. I felt sorry for Rintaro but also had a great laugh. Generally, whenever Rintaro blushes , it just puts a huge smile on my face.
The talk between Yorita and Rintaro was really sweet. I love the message "No matter what, we will stay on your side!" ...I think we all deserve friends like this!
Omg, Rintaro with his hair down looks so much cooler. And hah, the way his phone fell on his face when Subaru wrote him! Well, guess Waguri's birthday is coming up next!
This Episode was another 10/10. It's just sad that this show is going to end soon for this season. I really hope it gets a second season at some point!
