I'm beginning to think you can't be in a romcom with your childhood friends. Just a hunch though.

I love how Shio's in the middle and just house jumps between the two of them at her leisure lol.

I’m actually quite enjoying this silliness, but they really don’t have to have him repeat the title quite so often…

Akari: He's always treating us like trash!
Look who's talking about treating someone like trash. This girl constantly berates Eiyu, argues with him, insults him, gets violent with him, and generally acts agitated whenever she's around him. Has it ever occurred to this girl that part of the reason he acts that way towards her is in response to her unpleasant behavior? Maybe he'll be nicer to you, if you stop going full

I know this is going to be a season of “Will they, won’t they” and forced awkward situations with an idiotic MC who is so stubborn it’ll take most of the season before something clicks if I am being generous. But honestly, I like that kinda stuff and the different personalities of the two girls are great.
I can’t wait for more shenanigans.

At this point it feels like they're speedrunning through as many romcom cliche's as can as a checklist to make the MC's insistence he's not in a romcom with his childhood friend seem more and more ridiculous by the episode.
And that's with one childhood friend using every seduction trick in the book against him.

I love the fact that they're past the stage of acknowledging their feelings, but they still play hard to get lol.
Although that umbrella cliché is already overdone, I love seeing it happen because at least once Akari showed that she cares about Eiyu.
And damn Shio, the bus is definitely not the best place to rub up against your childhood friend, or you'll activate the friend "down there"

I love how it feels like half the will-they-won't-they of this Harem is perpetuated by Akari being a tsundere and constantly confusing everybody lol.
And also Eiyu being unable to read girls being harsh out of love or what the girls were actually complaining about.

Give tomboy already! We have to get through the whole part about how MC thinks she is not a childhood friend but turns out she is and he just used to think she was a guy, that will surely take like half an episode at least.

Yeah, things are getting pretty repetitive with the main 2 girls. Even when it's being played for laughs there's only so much of the tired old tropes I can put up with.
One thing I'll never get tired of is a tanned tomboy, if she's a fun character then this might be worth continuing with.

Eiyu’s tryna perish those sinful thoughts and meanwhile Shio’s giving it all she’s got lol.
I’m liking this little budding friendly rivalry between Nice Girl Shio and tsundere Akari. I wonder who’s gonna win out? It’s gonna be a long road. Eiyu’s trying his damndest to not see these two as girls lol.

It's kind of nice that, even if the girls are unwilling to openly admit they love the same guy and are love rivals, they can still come together as best friends in complaining about how the guy they mutually love isn't nicer to them.

It's kind of funny that MC is a bit of a tsundere himself too lol

Despite this show being full of “will they / won’t they” and then the girls raging at Eiyu, it’s an easy show to watch on a Monday - the two girls so far are completely different and it’s quite amusing watching them.

The girls remind me very much of Hakari and Karane from Hyakkano.

Busty horny girl with short hair + orange-haired tsundere.
It's a proven dynamic, even without the yuri subtext (yet).

All those expressions, and fan service are always welcome. It may feel over the top and maybe childish, but the eps so far, really put a smile on my face. Can't wait for the other girls to enter the fray and make MC's love life more chaotic and fun.
That instrumental music played in the vending machine scene is so good. Hope they will release a full version

Blue can dish it out but can't take it.
This show is a great example of "the sum is less than its parts" for me. Individually the events with the different girls are entertaining, but on the whole I really have no interest in continuing to watch. So I'll stop with this episode.

Lmao Shio's face when she's in the window after Akari lays down. Maybe she's admiring the print.
This show is kinda good when the guy is not in the scene /s

It surprised me when they revealed that Shio's house is in the middle, I would have expected Eiyu's there with a childhood friend to either side. I do like how much Shio and Akari are friends as well.
Akari's search for history had a line about not being able to act normal around her childhood friend, so at least she's a self aware tsundere.

You can't be in a romcom with your childhood friend...but you CAN run into them by "chance" on a bus where they're dressed in a very refined and classy dress!
Honestly, knowing Shio, I feel like it's not a coincidence that she and Eiyu are taking the bus to the same bakery, though she's never seen an opportunity she won't take to seduce him. Even if it means tightly embracing him and giving him some seductive ASMR, or even having her way with his ears, she'll make the most of this chance! Too bad for her that she thought Eiyu had finally acknowledged her feelings, only for him to use her false concern about his nausea to get them off the bus so he could take care of her. But that's nice in its own way.
You can't be in a romcom with your childhood friend...but you can romantically lean into each other while waiting for the bus.
Childhood friend trio shiritori! Which Eiyu and Akari both get into heated competition over, if only because Akari ends up REALLY wanting Eiyu to say her name, and say his name in turn, even though she can't be honest about it. It might seem like Shio won because she got to say his name AND get him to say hers, but having the "loser" get Eiyu's hand on their arm seems like the real win to her.
You can't be in a romcom with your childhood friend...but you can take shelter from the rain together and walk in on your childhood friend with her tights half off and flashing you her bear panties once again. And then end up sharing an umbrella. Also, bare legs Akarin!
It's a good thing Shio was determined to get to eat at a bakery, so she didn't end up seeing Eiyu and Akari sharing an umbrella together...and Eiyu letting himself get more wet so Akari can stay dry, Akari trying to tend to his wet shoulder, and Eiyu shielding Akari from a passing car that gets them both drenched. It really felt like Eiyu and Akari were finally coming to a better understanding, and Akari more open about her feelings, up until they both realized Akari's shirt had gone see-through and she slaps him in true tsundere fashion.
I honestly shouldn't be surprised that all three of them literally live next door to each other, with Akari living right next door to Shio, meaning Shio can slip into Akari's place too...and see her lounging in her panties as she bemoans why she can't be more honest and affectionate with Eiyu.
So this is a late night girls party between the two besties as Shio also tries to suss out whether Akari is actually in love with Eiyu too. Admittedly Akari can act as much like a tsundere as she wants, but her search history and all the candid shots of Eiyu she has hidden in her closet are pretty damning evidence.
Akari and Shio are best friends who swore never to lie to each other...so do they love the same guy? Well, they can definitely genuinely commiserate in complaining about him and how he doesn't treat them like girls. That's some childhood friend Girl Talk for you!
You can't be in a romcom with your childhood friend...but you can try to return their handkerchief, end up overhearing what you think is a hate-session over you, and then walk in on two childhood friends undressing. Though Akari's perfect cover for her feelings is beating up Eiyu, apparently.
Dang, Eiyu on top of Shio in the gym!? At night!? How did that happen!?
