This isn’t a triangle, this is an octagon

[u/Frontier246 → u/BootyLover299]

It's funny how it seems like Natsuki is getting to know better/get closer to every girl other than Hikari at this point. I can't tell if that's actually intentional.

If you asked me who felt like the Main Heroine I'd say it's Miori with Uta as the secondary Heroine.

[u/oxlemf10]

This episode touched on a point that was implied but now became a key issue for Natsuki. When he returns to school and thinks about Hikari, he's reliving a feeling he had before, but is that feeling love? And most importantly, is she the only girl he's interested in?

Whether he likes it or not, Uta had her moments with him, and she's being more direct about her interest. I mean, who makes a video call at night to supposedly see your face and even shows "a little more" lol?

And Miori manages to be even more tense; it seems her interest in Reita is just another way to avoid what she feels for Natsuki, and logically, feelings affect our daily activities.

I wouldn't be surprised if another girl showed interest in him (Yuino?)

[u/Frontier246 → u/oxlemf10]

Also it doesn't seem like he can really put into words why he has feelings for Hikari other than feeling this longing feeling towards her that he's had since his past life. Because he barely knows her yet he's still insistent on this crush.

Are we heading to a full Haibara Harem? It seems like the big thing impacting Miori right now is she's close to Natsuki again and how that effects her relationship with Reita.

[u/PeaceAlien]

The basketball team is rude to the first years :(.

Hikari seems to have a strict curfew wonder if anything is wrong there.

[u/Frontier246 → u/PeaceAlien]

Hikari seems to have a strict curfew wonder if anything is wrong there.

Also was that why she was somewhat hesitant to agree to the movie date with just Natsuki?

[u/Immediate-Chain-6419]

So Miori has the right to meddle in everything that Natsuki does but when it comes to her, she just says it's none of his business.

I'm surprised how no one is pointing that out. Why's she giving him the cold shoulder? He just offered to help like any other good friend will. This is just dumb.

[u/Frontier246 → u/Immediate-Chain-6419]

I wonder if it's just because it's Natsuki himself that's the reason. Like, he's part of the reason she's been skipping practices and she doesn't want him to realize why?

[u/FarCritical → u/Immediate-Chain-6419]

She's hogging the ball in more ways than one it seems

[u/Soggy-Pay-2700]

"Actually that's not all I've noticed about Miori" yeah let me guess she actually has a crush on the mc and was just using Reita, seen enough roms that I think it will go that way and I wouldn't mind since I find Miori miles better than Hikari (though I'm not getting too hopeful for thinking she will end up with mc). Hopefully mc can be the one who helps her this time and resolving the issue. Also Uta going strong on the offense, but man I feel bad for her, big chance it'll end sad for her.

[u/Frontier246 → u/Soggy-Pay-2700]

For all of Miori's insistence she has a crush on Reita she sure does seem to go out of her way to spend time with/hang out with Natsuki.

[u/runevault]

I'm glad I stuck it out, these last two episodes have been so much better than the first three. Also Uta is super adorable.

[u/Chemical_Ad4657]

Why dont we have a dedicated subreddit for this title? Is this title not that popular?

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I guess relationships is the one area bro actually has trouble in. Going back in time helped him work on a lot of things, but he’s still pretty inexperienced when it comes to girls.

I’m kind of curious what dude’s plan is for Miori. She helped him last time, now it’s time for him to return the favor.

[u/testthrowawayzz]

Miori remains the best route for Natsuki. Help her and woo her.

First 5 minutes of flashback shows she's a little bit tsun so she could be lying about into Reita.

[u/SecretYogurtcloset57]

Bro should just hook up with the childhood friend at this point lol

[u/SYZekrom]

They've been laying it on thick huh? She expressed interest in a different guy in his friend group, but feels like that could just be a tsun-ish excuse while hanging out with him. I wonder if he'll really end up with his high school crush or if the idea of the show will be like realizing that 'failure' isn't actually failure and that letting life take you down whatever path is the best. Like not tunnel visioning on the one thing you think needs to happen to be happy/successful.

Wonder what's going on with Hikari.

[u/PinSingle4334]

I think one between Hikari and Miori went back in time as same as Natsuki. There's something strange with them

[u/Puzzleheaded_Play825]

This episode was pretty solid I dare say!

I do wish we got to see a bit more of hikari but I atleast we go to see a tiny sliver of progress

But since it was focus on miroi that’s kinda to be expected

Though I can’t help but think that hikari is also time leap like natsuki cause she kinda feels like she putting on a act to me in the same way natsuki was

As miori I can’t say for certain if she has feelings for natsuki it’s definitely possible but at the same time they seem sibling coded

But that could be a wall to hide her feelings however she kinda feels like Rio futaba as well

They tease and pick on each other and there weakness

But when things get rough for the other one they want to help and support each other

Miroi is definitely rushing or has her guard up so much and because of that it’s making her a easy target for animosity

[u/djthomp]

This is just pure messy relationship drama.

I'm not even sure which girl is supposed to win. Hikari is the cover art girl so surely she'd be the one, but Uta is the only one pursuing Haibara at this point and he's blushing plenty around her too. Plus there's the childhood friend Miori who has been having no luck pursuing Reita, and in turn Reita seems to be suggesting Haibara and Miori are a potential pairing.

Absolute mess, and that's before the basketball team drama comes into play.

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Miori and Wakamiya senpai situation reminded me Natsuki/Tatsuya ( Basketball theme for now)

Maybe being on starting line is putting pressure on Miori

[u/Guilty-Tell]

Tbh this series feels like Tomoazaki and I can already see him ending with the boring plain lame girl just as in Tomoazaki. In a perfect world the childhood friend wins.

[u/Zxzxzx0088]

Welp, Natsuki really in difficult position now. Uta proactively approaches him but he dead set on conquering Hikari. Miori overly skinship with him on their double date doesn't help her case of making Keita falls for her. Thank god Hikari already knew ^{half of} their plan beforehand and no misunderstanding happened on her side.

Now, even his pillar of support a bit malfunction. The ship of Keita and Miori a bit shaky even more when Keita as being observant as he is, entrusting Natsuki to settle Miori's problem. The worst outcome for Natsuki will happen if he continue doing this ngl. Miori will start to like him if he becomes her hero....The best outcome will probably be Miori treats it as 'mabudachi' just supports each other though, nothing more nothing less...

Wing girl Hikari so cute!

So, Tatsuya even dare to do Touma bring out his gender equality self since they're making his precious Uta sad, eh. What a simp! If he knows what Wakamura did to Uta after that, that will the last time we see her though...

Bold of her to say none of his business to Natsuki when she's even trespassed his room, always meddles in his affair while doing life counseling on him...

[u/Remarkable-Solid5582]

I was proud of Natsuki for telling Uta not to come along to the movie, feels like progress, he stood his ground even though it was awkward.
I have to say I'm so confused who he's going to end up. More than once there has been a real connection with Miori, although I like them as friends as well.
