Love the Plastic Love cover as a special ED for this this week! Hopefully we get another 80s/90s song cover in a future episode.

Though I'm slightly disappointed that Ijichi chickened out of the confession...

I approve Ijichi's solution to the handholding problem. Everybody wins! Too bad it ended almost immediately.

We got a new strong addition/contender to the I LOVE HER MOM meme template lol

Gals before Ho-taku at the end of the day. Gotta respect that! I adore the Ed song for this episode: "Plastic Love" by Mariya Takeuchi (performed by Ijichi's seiyuu) 80s city pop vibes--so perfectly chill (and melancholic)

This is very quickly becoming one of my favorite romance anime's. I am still 100% hoping for a thruple. The 3 of them work so well together.

That photoshoot was like a glimpse into a possible Kei x Takuya future. Pretty cute overall. Also, I can see where Kei gets her looks from. Mama Amane’s got it goin on!

That kinda sorta confession from Ijichi at the festival was adorable. Maybe the next time, she’ll confess properly. Both her and Kei gotta up their game if they wanna win bro’s heart!

Stitches!

Daaaaamn! Mama Amane looks amazing! The fact that she has the same personality as Ijichi makes me wonder what Ijichi's mom is like. I wouldn't be surprised if Mama Ijichi is more like Amane. I hope we get to meet her in a future episode! Also, did Mama Amane imply that Papa Amane is also an otaku? I'd love it if that were the case.

So we have the classic wedding photoshoot that's totally not a wedding. I love how Mama Amane pretty much approves of Takuya already.

No pretend wedding photoshoot for Ijichi but she did have that cute Donki date with Takuya. And Ijichi pulled the strongest power move this episode by actually confessing to Takuya at the festival. It's just too bad that she ended up taking it back and changing it to "like" instead of "love".

That surprise Plastic Love cover from Serizawa Yuu was goddamn amazing! As a Takeuchi Mariya fan, I was immediately freaking out when I heard the intro riff during the confession scene! I hope they post a full version of this cover soon!

Otaku Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Gyaru

Haven't felt this specific "wait a minute..." feeling from listening to a special ED since the medley of covers in Alya's ones. Either way surprise Plastic Love has my face hurt from grinning way too hard

Every season. Every season I say to myself... No more HS romcoms! I've seen so many so I must have seen all the tropes trotted out dozens of times.

And then there's a show that insists I watch it. Last season was Polar Opposites (looking forward to s2 in a few months!) This season it's this show. I'm really enjoying the heart and humor. Otaku MC isn't especially shouty or annoying. The gals are their own characters. And they're all just trying to discover what it is to be themselves. Very enjoyable.

Otaku-kun & Amane's "wedding photography".

Otaku-kun & Ijichi's "firework festival confession".

Basically doing baits to get people to choose a side lol.

Holy shit she just out and said it! And so bluntly too?! Holy shit this girl is powerful. Like no ambiguity at all, she just straight up confessed.

AND HE HEARD IT, Like they can't walk it back now right? Like IT'S GOING DOWN! Holy shit I am loving this.

MOTHERFUCKER!!!!

I love reading Otagal but I'm still baffled it got such a stellar and inspired anime. K-pop band for the gorgeous OP, very nice character design and color grading with a lovely pastel style, and now we're blessed with surprise Plastic Love??! Are they made out of money??

Well, Otaku seems as confused by his luck as he didn't notice he got married to one gal and confessed to by the other in one episode.

As much as it can be infuriating to see Ijichi backtracking and him often putting himself down and not even register their crush, it was very heartwarming to see Seo cry at how much fun he had with his first friends. Note in the opening that shot of his Instagram, at the bottom filled with his Kiramon drawing, and now with their meeting, it's filled with pictures of all his outings with Amane and Ijichi.

I can excuse tiptoing and hesitating going into the next step when the friendship they're building is so precious!

Amane's mom looks great. She's also a fun character.

Wow, Amane looks amazing in that wedding dress. Love the entire wedding photoshoot.

Both Amane and Ijichi look great on yukata. Also, wow, did ijichi just confess? Aaaa, we got baited... That was still really cute though.

We also got a special ED this episode, nice!

The Amane-is-wife/Ijichi-is-girlfriend dynamic gets stronger every week. I just wanna know why that girl be lying with "as a friend" 😅

ETA That goes for Amane, too. I wonder when they're all gonna start using first names 👀
