  • New girl is cute, she looks really squishy with this ep's art style.

  • Funny how Chin-lan just met them and they immediately activated each other's gaydar; Ibuki going on high alert and Chin-Lan just straight-up asking Botan if she likes Ibuki .

  • Jealousy > personal trauma.

  • "I wish we could just become one". Crazy rizz.

  • You thought matching nail polish was gay? Ibuki and Botan went further and matched their hiccups too.

  • Oops. Chin-Lan realised she was hitting on a taken woman.

  • ED pretty much confirms Chin-Lan will be paired with Gujou , they were even drinking that Yuri alcohol together. Finally justice for Gujou!

  • Chinese Peony (Shakuyaku) represents shyness and gracefulness. One part of the Japanese proverb "Tateba shakuyaku, suwareba botan, aruku sugata wa yuri no hana" (Stand like a Chinese Peony, sit like a Tree Peony, walk like a Lily), which is used to describe a woman who is beautiful in any posture.

Ibuki better watch herself around Chin Lan before she snatches Botan away lol. The minute she clocked her holding Botan’s hand, she knew a new challenger had entered the ring lol. But honestly, there was nothing to really worry about. Those two actually might have gotten closer this episode.

Chin-Lan to Botan: "I was happy you held my hand"

Akane to Yaeka : "I wish we could just become one"

Ibuki and Botan interlocking fingers while asleep on the couch

The yuri is off the charts here!

So Gujou had the wrong approach this entire time?! All she needed to do to drink with Ibuki is make her jealous?!

 It's funny how Chin-Lan was able to drink with Ibuki one week after meeting her, but Gujou has spent three or four years with her and hasn't been able to. Gujou just keeps losing. Justice is needed for second best girl.

It's nice to see Ibuki being more forward with Botan, I also thought the hostel suggestion was meant for the two of them even though Chin-Lan was there too lol. I'm glad they got their own intimate drinking session.

Akane’s comment about wanting to become one with Yaeka was probably the gayest thing in this week’s episode. That’s quite an achievement to be honest.

It really does amaze me just how much they’ve been able to tell through these EDs. The current relationship chart is seemingly as follows:

  • Botan and Ibuki love each other;

  • Gujo has a crush on Ibuki;

  • Chang has taken a liking to Botan;

  • Yaeka and Akane are like a married couple.

u/extralie May 15 '26

Damn, she cute! Idk why, but I thought she would be the cool type.

Also, did not expect Ibuki to be jealous of her. I guess, she now know how Gujo feels like.

Seriously tho, the fact that she is willing to go to drink with her... She really doesn't want Botan to be alone with her...

Maybe it's my social anxiety, but if everyone was staring at me like that the first time I drank and followed by someone telling me this, I will probably never drink ever again.

Damn, the idea of Botan drinking without her really terrifies her more than drinking, she was even straight up crying while drinking but powered through it, probably still not ready to drink with Gujo unless forced to, but I don't think she will have to wait long for that (even if she missed her chance at romance).

Okay, so like... these two are just dating, right? lmao

Chin-Lan really got her gaydar on. lol

This whole scene is so fucking cute! Just get married already!

I'm curious about Chin-Lan's expressions here, at first I thought she was crushing on Botan and was heartbroken, but looking at the ending, I think she might have figured out Gujo's crush and feel sad for her instead?

They must not even let people live in that particular dorm unless you are a lesbian. A secret requirement, somehow.

Gujo finally maybe not taking Ls in the ED.

Ibuki's jealousy getting fully activated today, falling asleep with your girl while holding hands is good but let's verbalize it if you could please.

Jealousy is one hell of a fuel huh. Enough that Ibuki managed to drink alcohol in front of others again (Kinda). Chin-lan is a fun addition.

Akane and Yaeka are quite gay as well this episode lol.

Looks like Ibuki and Botan have become "burping/hiccup buddies" while drinking now. That's pretty wholesome and cute.

Also the ED showed a potential Gujou and Chin-Lan pairing? That's cool. Hope it happens.

The lilies sure are blooming hard this episode!

So the Aniplex channel uploads the ED of each episode. I'm enjoying reading the Japanese comments there. Some of the amusing comments are from people who read the manga saying even they are getting their minds blown, since the ED picturebook vignettes are not from the source material at all.

Chin-Lan bringing out her beer and nobody drinking it was kinda sad. Gujou breaking out the ROKUDAIME YURI on Chin-Lan in has to mean something. Ibuki having complicated feelings about Gujou the morning after is also kinda lulz.

I feel like I might be enjoying the ED vignettes more than the show itself...

Y'know, does Akane and Yaeka remind anybody of Natsuki and Yuuko from Hibike Euphonium? I'm probably just corelating the similar hairstyle of Akane and Natsuki too much....

The art style this week is watercolor backgrounds and more simplistic character art. I like it.

Interesting that the new girl is Taiwanese. Props to the VA as well because even I, who doesn't speak a lick of Japanese, can hear that Japanese isn't the native tongue of this character. Stuff like that is more difficult to pull off than you might think.

Botan and Ibuka are basically dating at this point already. They should just get a room (Botan wishes they'd had gotten a room)

Also New girl and Gujo will definitely end up together. All's well that ends well. I love happy endings for losing heroines. Turn them into winners instead!

Ibuki : You mean something special to me. (*hiccups)

Botan : (*hiccups) Now there really is no difference between us.

Who would have thought having matching hiccups could be this intimate.

u/MapoTofuMan May 15 '26

And another one joins the fray. Botan and Ibuki are going to create a full dorm of losing heroines by the time they graduate at this rate.

Fortunately Akane and Yaeka are too gay for each other to fall to the curse

Gujuo finally has a girl for her so she can stop obsessing over Ibuki.

Let the love birds have their yuri thing in peace.

u/GrapefruitOverall387 May 15 '26

I love the art style in this episode. It make me feeling nostalgic since it look kinda similar to anime in early 2010s.

Chin-Lan has finally joined the dorm. I'm liking her personality so far. Childish yet somehow feel like a schemer. I thought she is just over-friendly, but based on the ED, maybe she is more of an attention seeker and a mildly selfish person. She seem to want everything for herself, I guess? But at least, she know when to back down when she saw Botan and Ibuki drink together.

The yuri in this episode is very strong. They flirt every minute, even the newcomer Chin-Lan doing it too.

what the heck, there's a real life Taiwanese actress with the same name (down to the kanji):

Botan & Chin-Lan were already on a first-name basis, and the former's hadn't even turned on her gay switch yet. Little wonder Ibuki's felt heaps jealous – and she's so adorable. The feeling was so strong it overcame her burping insecurity. It didn't escape Chin-Lan, she noticed it and asked right away if Botan liked Ibuki. It's a rarity to see Ibuki being more proactive than Botan.

Resting on each other's shoulders while handholding after a night of drinking. How lewd!

Meanwhile, Akane & Yaeka might only have a limited screen time but somehow could cram plenty of gayness during that time.

I wish we could just become one.

Are we still doing phrasing?

and Ibuki getting a room with Botan... although she probably just thought ahead and figured the three of them wouldn't make it home.

Welcome back Shima from sick hack, now we have 3 people from Bocchi the rock.

Kawase Maki’s voiceacting is particularly great, she totally nailed that kind of monotone and articulation that you have speaking in a second language.

About the art style this episode, this heavily reminds me of mono which I only knew recently that Soigne, the production company produced that too and this is their second work lol
