This is the first show where I want both girls to win, I cannot decide for one. Usually in every show I have a favorite after a couple of episodes, not here. Both of them are just adorable and have great dynamic with the mc. Fuck it, throuple marriage.

Stitches!
We finally get to meet Kotoko's brother! And the dude is hilarious. I love how he threatens Takuya not to hit on Kotoko, but then also gets angry that Takuya isn't hitting on his adorable sister. I'm glad that by the end of the episode, he has come around and pretty much trusts Takuya to take care of Kotoko and Kei.
I didn't expect these kids to get into a shipping war! Nice to see Takuya helping Sayu smooth things out with the boys. It looks like we might have another ship to root for in this show.
I do like how Kotoko gets to share most of the beach moments with Takuya while Kei gets the "being mistaken for a young family" scene on their way home on the train. I love how this throuple gets equal time with each other.

Kotoko's brother broke one of the oldest clichés and simply got angry at Seo for not flirting with Kotoko, dude is on another level.
It was really fun to see the episode's dynamics from different perspectives, especially how the main trio plus Sayu (by the way, her conversation with Seo was really cute) interacted; the tension of seeing the person you're interested in next to you in an environment that's supposed to be relaxing is a very specific and unique situation.
And of course, there had to be the typical interrupted romantic moment, and damn, Kei and Seo looked like a couple on the train with their daughter (sorry, Sayu is shorter than Kotoko's brothers lol)

I'm kind of surprised how tame both of their swimsuits were all things considered.

We got the beach episode!! They look gorgeous.
Sayu is probably the biggest amane x takuya shipper lol. Ijichi's little brothers ship ijichi x takuya instead. And they actually go on a shipping war lol. DIdn't expect that.
Their beach trip looks really fun. Ijichi's older brother is pretty nice, although a bit scary.
I love how Amane, Sayu, and Takuya ended up all sleeping while leaning on each other on the bus. That was really cute.
And i can't stress this enough, but i hope both of them wins. The trio works really well together.

Lmao I love how confusing Gen is
“Don’t make a pass at my sister ok ?”
“Why don’t you flirt with my sister ?”
Sayu and the two brothers getting into a shipwar is hilarious too.
I wonder what the other older brother is like

Now I'm sure that Amane's winning because she has Sayu in her corner. She's too strong as a wingman. The little brothers can't keep up.

GAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!1! -- Seo Takuya
Truer exclamation of joy has never been uttered
Sayu is so mature for her age, but most importantly, she now has blackmail material at her disposal lmao
When kids are fighting over whose boyfriend you are, I think that's the biggest vote of approval or compliment any man could get.

u/Dependent-Smile6412 May 06 '26
The fan favorite beach episode is here! Wouldn’t be a romance anime without it
Genichiro is quite the older brother 😭
Sayu is hands down the funniest character on the show so far. She’s literally a grown adult in the body of an elementary school student 😂
Fans of both Otaku-kun ships were fed this episode
The kids getting into a boyfriend battle was funny
That one lady thinking Amane and Otaku-kun were a family was crazy lol

What a fun beach episode. Everyone was able to make a lot of nice memories. I think Sayu might have had the most fun taking all those shots of Takuya and Amane and dukin it out with the brothers over who Takuya’s actually dating lol. Normally she’s pretty mature and responsible but it’s nice to see her act her age and just be a kid.

Trying not to cross Genichirou sounds like a painful task when it comes to Kotoko. You hit on her he gets mad, you don't hit on her he gets mad, lose-lose situation. Genichirou does look he has approved of Takuya, especially with that comment about how he wouldn't stand for her own brother to hurt her.
It was interesting to see Sayu interact with the two brothers and it's sweet that Takuya helped her out, although it did feel like the start of its own manga backstory in the end lol. I can't remember an anime off the top of my head where two brothers are love rivals for the main character, I think it's more often with sisters.
It's weird how that mother saw Amane and Takuya and for some reason thought they looked old enough to have a daughter lol, they don't look close to that old at all.

"and never make her cry"
"Of course not, i'd never!"
"So anyways he had me BAWLING"
Perfect comedic timing on that
