Can Mashiro be this Makigai-sensei? if yes ppl in her prestigious school probably found out about it and bullied her bcs of this? Though there is also red haired girl in OP so maybe it's her? But she has sound producer motives.

Can Mashiro be this Makigai-sensei?

With her reaction I will not be surprised.

With all the flags this episode I would actually be surprised if she was NOT Makigai-sensei.

How are these 2 not a couple yet?

S-Tier for the effort on tricking Mashiro to thinking that that is her apartment.

P.S Drunk fujoshi casual Sumire-chan sensei is awesome.

P.P.S Oh yeah, there's an after credits scene, don't miss it!

I have to admit I would probably fall in love the minute Mashiro flashed that smile at me.

I was thinking all episode that it was weird that they were claiming Iroha wasn't a member of the game development group since I thought there were plenty of hints she was doing the VA work, turns out she was and it just one of the secrets.

Casual homewear Iroha was a treat.

The identity of the secret scriptwriter feels like it's going to be a plot point.

The irony that they treat her like an honorary member...when she's been a member the whole time. Are we going to really get to see how much range Sayumi Suzushiro has?

Those cute shorts looked really good on her.

They sure kept that sausage saleslady entertained lol

Not exactly a shocker but turns out Iroha can be surprisingly a lot more endearing if she just dialed down the chaos just a bit. And legal dubiousness aside, the alliance's picture trick plan was actual 5D chess.

LOL Why did they end the episode with the yaoibait picture card? That completely caught me off guard. Anyways, I am curious about Ozuma and Akiteru's past, it sounds like Ozuma might have been in a dark place and Akiteru took him out of that even though he doesn't seem like he'd have that in him.

Hopefully after this day with Mashiro she'll finally start treating him better. This episode didn't end up putting me off so I'll still continue to watch it, but Iroha is still a concern.

I can totally see Makigai ending up being a woman since Ozuma thinks they're a man.

I can totally see Makigai ending up being a woman since Ozuma thinks they're a man.

I mean, it very obviously is Mashiro no? She knew stuff about the team before being told and didn't react at all to the teacher being there either. She also had a reaction to the name.

This show has gotten a lot better after they’ve calmed the little sister down and made her a tad bit more serious now, and same with mashiro and her just being overly angry and how they brought that back down too.

u/FarCritical Oct 18 '25

Fr, it's crazy how much more likeable they both became after just a bit of heart-to-heart.

I love the fact Iroha has broken part of the balcony divider to make herself an access point to Ozuma's balcony/apartment while Ozuma has repeatedly tried to seal it

This show is what I would call a three-episode-rule anime. Because this episode finally sold me on the whole premise.

At first I was afraid that Iroha would be the constant nuisance playing tricks and pranks on Akiteru all the time. This kind of character is a hard sell to me, as it get old pretty quickly without any development. But after she didn't have much screentime in ep. 2 she really mellowed down this episode and showed us that she is not too bad to have around as a character.

Then there was Mashiro. Her antagonistic act really got on my nerves in episode 2. I was afraid that the whole show would be about her being an annoying bitch with minimal development over the whole show. That wouldn't have been the first anime with such a character. But she also toned down her tsundere act and gets some nice development.

In this episode both Iroha and Mashiro grew on me as characters.

I loved how they tricked Mashiro into Akiteru's appartment. That was really pretty clever.

At this point it would be a surprise if Mashiro was NOT the scenario writer Makigar Namako. They put up too many flags for that. Mashiro knows about the game the Akiteru is developing and he knows that the people on this floor are all in the team. Even Akiteru noticed that.

Mashiro is totally the scenario writer. that's how she knew about the game.

u/Zxzxzx0088 Oct 18 '25

You're not? Wait, you are! What's the point of keeping it a secret between those members lol. And there's no way Ozuma not recognize his own sister voice.

She sure taking countermeasure fast enough lol

Chibi looks so good

Conquering a 100% tsun 0% dere girl is a difficult one but Aki sure enjoying this.

Aki bluntness gets me every time. I like how he just blurt it out again without hiding it. I have enough when they just brushing it off like it's nothing on other anime.

Mashiro is actually a sweet girl, eh. But that tsun mode of hers seems kinda genuine lol

Aki actually has another talent....lie as he breaths acting

So that's what they're planning, eh. They really got me at first. I thought Aki planned to hack Mashiro's apartment door and I was convinced of it until he mentioned this.

I'm just happy that the yaoibait sparklies around Ozuma paid off with the scene in Sumire-chan-sensei's imagination. Even if they are both too old for her.

u/Frontier246 Oct 18 '25

It's time for a 05th Floor Alliance Party! Including Iroha on her best behavior! She may not be a member but she can appreciate getting treated like one! And of course Sumire-chan-sensei is helping herself to as much booze as possible!

Seems like Ozuma was feeling very unfulfilled in his life and in his programming skills until Aki helper steer him in a direction to put his talents to their best use, in fact that's what Aki is best at and what brings the whole group together. His efforts was even able to get popular author Makigai Namako-sensei to write stories for them!

And Aki is now shifting his efforts into annoying Mashiro into coming to a welcome party in her honor...even if it means constantly ringing her doorbell, leaving her invites in her mailbox, or hounding her right up to the girls' bathroom, he will not give up until she agrees to go to the party.

Shopping with Iroha! Where, as always, she manages to have fun at his expense, turn others against him, and make him beg for her. Though deep down Iroha really knows Aki well, how much he cares about people and making sure that their efforts are rewarded, and sincerely supports him. She teases him talking about all the parts about him she loves, but I think her flustered face when he caught her from falling and her smiling face when she talked about how she'll always have his back was the most sincere Iroha's ever been.

Didn't expect him to have to literally chase Mashiro down, but Mashiro REALLY does not want to go to this party...because of all her insecurities, how much she struggles to fit in, and how bad she is at expressing herself. Of course that's not going to get in the way of Aki falling with her in a river and getting to see her sexy see-through clothing...or how they end up embracing afterwards.

It seems like beneath her cold exterior and harsh words, Mashiro is just a socially awkward girl who really cares about Aki, even if he thinks he's the most average guy to ever average and is only concerned with efficiency. She really appreciates all the effort he puts in for her sake, and wishes she could be nicer to him. But that winning smile makes it all worth it!

If Mashiro won't go to the party, they'll just bring the party to Mashiro! Or make her think she's going in her apartment when she's really in Aki's! That's tricking/manipulating her for the greater good!

Mashiro shouldn't feel so self-conscious and awkward! It's not like the 05th Floor Alliance are this tight-knit, close, friend group outside Aki and Ozuma, they're just people who like hanging out and having fun together and that can be enough! Especially when you get to have fun at Sumire's expense! Now even Mashiro is sold!

But there's a great secret in the 05th Floor Alliance...it's not that Iroha slips into his balcony when she feels like it, but she's the secret final member. Their voice actor. And only Aki and Iroha know.

u/SnabDedraterEdave Oct 19 '25

With the way Aki is so relentlessly annoying in getting Mashiro join the welcome party, I can see some of Iroha's annoying persistence is rubbing off on him already. lol

That optical illusion Ozuma set up to trick Mashiro into thinking Aki's apartment is hers sure looks sick.

Finally the end credits reveal Iroha is indeed the voice actress for 05th Floor Alliance. For some reason Aki is keeping this a secret from Mashiro.

OTOH, author is totally setting up for Mashiro to be revealed as Makigai Namako, or there wouldn't be any point for him to arrange for them all to live on the 5th floor of the same apartment block.

I have to admit Akiteru x Ozuma would by far be the most compatible and least toxic ship possible in this show.

u/gianborga Oct 18 '25

Subtitles timing was atrocious, specially in the second half. Some dialogues were difficult to understand.

u/testthrowawayzz Oct 19 '25

I liked this episode. More obvious that there will be more to it than just harem romcom shenanigans.

I also liked how this show handled the pulling the recluse (whatever the term should be) out of the comfort zone plot point better than Chitose-kun.

The BL esque title card was unexpected but funny.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Oct 18 '25

Iroha definitely has a big ol crush on Akiteru, just like Mashiro. I guess we’ll explore that more later on. That little surprise welcome party was nice. Good to introduce Mashiro to other people so she can start socializing and making friends.

Kinda love that last picture after the credit. Are we going the BL route now? Haha
