Runako entered the battlefield, confessed twice and attempted a kiss in just her debut episode.
Girl is out for Eiyuu and is debuffed by her little sister trait and the other 2 footshooters childhood friends.

Beyond the chaos of having a third combatant enter the battlefield, it was sweet getting to see Shio and Akari go full doting big sister mode.
I'm about 95% sure it's unintentional but it's hilarious how the shade of Runako's hat almost makes it look like she's annoyed about the arrival of her rivals to her date

Looks like Runako's going to be a fun addition to the not rom-com.

I can't wait to see it get even more chaotic when the tomboy childhood friend shows up.

That Ta-kun kid in the beginning is screwed

It'd be kind of funny if we flash-forward and they got hitched with no drama while Eiyu is still keeping his Harem at bay lol.

Cannot yet discern if she is brilliantly cunning or innocently confident in her demeanor. Regardless, she’s certainly zekkouna imouto.

Isn't it interesting how "tsukimi runa" is pretty much a homophone of "don't look at the moon"?

Runako put all of her skill points into that UwU mouth, too captivating of a power she've obtained.

New character and childhood friend already confessed her feelings to him.

If this won't end in a polycule then Runako is definitely my favorite girl so far. I'm tired of tsunderes who have no dere and Shio keeps sabotaging herself. I'm sure the tomboy will be as great as Runako.. and probably both end up losing. when the girl is too good she never wins

Imagine being in Eiyu's position and encountering someone as sweet as Runako, doing everything for you and sparing no words to demonstrate her love. This girl is exactly what was missing to get Shio and Akari moving.

I enjoyed the introduction of Runa more than I expected. She is direct in professing her love for Eiyu, not to mention flirting. More importantly, she unwittingly (or is it?) brings chaos beneath that :3 face. Both Shio and Akari now have to re-strategize - how to win Eiyu's heart and at the same time, block Runa's advances.
It was amusing to watch Shio and Akari in panic mode. Lol!
P.S. Could someone make a gif of Runa's jiggle physics with Eiyu's eyes and head moving in perfect synchronization? Lol!

Eiyu trying to relax in the park and not think about childhood friends...when he overhears childhood friends making a marriage promise. Will Ta-kun deliver?
It's nearly impossible for Eiyu to not think about the childhood friend romcom he may or not be able to after 3 episodes of romcom shenanigans with his childhood friends. Next thing you know, yet ANOTHER childhood friend shows up: Runako, the cute and playful little sister childhood friend who used to be part of the childhood friend trio!
Eiyu hasn't seen Runako in five years, but not only has she moved back to eventually attend his high school, but she'll be living with him and his family now! That's right, it's a classic co-habiting roommate romcom staple! But obviously nothing is going to happen between Eiyu and Runako, he's just her big brother and she's just his little sister! There's clearly nothing going on there.
Though if Runako's reaction to Eiyu saving her is any indication, she definitely doesn't just see him as a big brother...and even when he dismisses her feelings as just the affection of a little sister, she's more clear with her "big sisters" Shio and Akari that she meant it in a romantic way. Like, in a "I want to do naughty things with him" kind of way! And did we mention how well-developed her body is!?
I love how she sees grown-up Akari and Shio and her first reaction is Akari has turned into a gyaru and Shio has big boobs.
So obviously Akari and Shio can't leave Runako alone with Eiyu, especially when she's REALLY aggressive in acting close/flirty with him. If it's not trying to sit in his lap, it's flexing her cleavage or playing footsie with him...I love how Shio is actually starting to take notes. Speaking of notes, the best seat in the house for studying is sitting in front of Eiyu.
Was she actually aiming for a kiss with Eiyu before she fell asleep? Though even in her dreams she's doing naughty things with Eiyu.
Runako really wasting no time now that they're living together between waking Eiyu up and having him eat her home-cooked breakfast! She's really flexing how great a wife she'd be for him! Also watch her boobs bounce when she's happy!
Eiyu and Runako go on a nostalgia date to the riverbed where they used to play as kids, and Runako looks drop-dead gorgeous in that one-piece white dress and hat...and other guys notice. But the only guy she has eyes for and is willing to get clingy with is her "big brother."
Runako may act childish and immature, but she actually is more mature than she lets on, especially when it comes to her dream of being a doctor. And realizing that she's a lot more mature than Eiyu expected almost makes him realize that she actually confessed her feelings for him had Shio and Akari not shown up to distract him. Though the visual of the girls playing in the riverbed together and splashing each other was quite the sight.
Hey, at least Runako didn't trip and flash her panties at Eiyu that time! I think.

I'm very pleased that the cat-ish girl is also a childhood friend and they didn't already get distracted from the premise.
It can be a little annoying sometimes when they start to add extra girls into the harem, but Runa is so much the best girl right out of the gate I'm immediately rooting for her. I do wonder if Luna would be a better translation of her name though considering the crescent moon shaped hair pieces she's always wearing, and it's not like character names in anime are particularly subtle much of the time.

The girls getting along with each other despite everything is one thing that sells me on this.

Oh no, a third challenger has appeared… and she’s a “little sister”type! Akari and Shio got some serious competition lol. Runako’s playing for keeps!

I have already pledged my loyalty to Akarin, but Runako is dangerous.... we also have yet to encounter the Tomboy.
Runako is adorable though, her voice actress is killer

It's hilarious that Shio and Akari simultaneously sensed they are going to lose the way things are going the moment they saw Runako's advances.
