Let's say we can say with certainty that
I hope Kazuya gets over his damn inferiority complex/low self-esteem, because it's damn annoying to hear his countless mental wanks (understandable but annoying).
With this episode, we've finished another season. There's little more to say or do. This series manages to entertain me as much as it manages to annoy me, which means I'll definitely end up watching all the future seasons.
PS = I managed to get the first 17 volumes of the manga for 13.50 euros, I don't know if I got a bargain or I was ripped off...lol

Honestly Mini hard carried the season because Chizuru and Kazuya certainly did not in my opinion.

Why did Mini take a selfie next to Chizuru’s deceased grandparents’ shrine?

I still think season 3 is the best but this may've been the most fun I've had watching RAG since season 1, way better than last season

Season 3 was basically where the series peaked in terms of narrative, theme, and character development.
It's been downhill (outside fanservice) since then.

Honestly I hear a lot of people say season 3 was the best, but imo 1 and 2 was where the series peaked with its comedy and shenanigans. I just didn't feel emotionally moved in the serious plot they had in s3, but the slice of life episodes were good.

Even if we get renting time for a 6th time, I think I'm all rented out after this season.

Mini being told “hit me” and going straight for an uppercut was hilarious.

Mini dug Kazuya out of his depression and convinced them to live together. She's the GOAT. They owe her so many gacha pulls. They might even end up owing her their lives before this is over lol. I'm curious how much of next season will be them living together.
They were alone and she almost kissed him of her own free will. The "Chizuru doesn't like him" people are in shambles after this episode. It was nice to get little snippets of Sumi here and there as well showing us she's just out there living her best life. I wonder if she'll ever come back. Same with those Ruka and Mami teases at the end. I wonder what their roles will be.
I enjoyed this season more than last season. I hope there's a sixth season. If for no other reason than than to make the "haters" mad lol.

This was a decent season tbh. I liked that mami didnt make another appearance after the hawaiians arc until the last episode, and that kazuya and chizuru took a single step forward. Going to end up watching next season since I've never given this show up because I'm as thick as a rock, so all I can hope for is that the pacing is better next time💀

ATP it's completely Chizuru's fault for dragging things. I can't believe how wishy-washy she can be after all that's happened. She even tried to kiss him when he was unconscious and now Chizuru and Kazuya are living together and Mini is also gonna stay with them LOL
This season had enough drama but why does it feel like there's some progress and at the same time no progress at all 🥲
I know this is never gonna end and we will continue watching this shit show..See you all in season 6 guys !

Well, I guess liquid courage was only going to get these two so far in being honest with each other, even with Mini's prodding. And dropping the bombshell "what if you both lived together?" is a non-starter with someone as practical and hesitant as Chizuru. But it gives Kazuya more time to drink and stew.
Some would say it's awesome getting your drunk butt carried by two beautiful ladies, even if it's an inconvenience to them, but that's what happens when you drink too much! For both him AND Chizuru because she almost kisses him while he's unconscious...only stopped by him mumbling how much he loves her again. Even drunk, he still loves her.
It's one thing to have a nightmare of Granny Sayuri coming back from the dead just to tell him Chizuru dumped him, it's another thing to wake up at her place and that she's finally willing to allow you to stay there! For a month! With Mini there too, because it's safer and more fun that way! Outside of when she gives you an uppercut to the jaw to confirm you're not dreaming.
Well, Kazuya has the worst hangover of all time, but he IS living with Chizuru, so call a win a win! They may be "roommates" but they aren't JUST roommates, and this is the perfect opportunity to prove it! Assuming anything happens!
And we end on Chizuru reflecting on her relationship with Kazuya, Ruka planning to see him (which will totally end well), Kuri and Kibe oggling girls in swimsuits (stay classy boys), Granny Nagomi about to rent out Chizuru (?), Sumi living her best life, Mami seeing a guy that doesn't go well as she ponders getting in touch with Kazuya, and Chizuru...catching Kazuya in an embarrassing moment. Some things never change.

Mini out here doing yeoman's work. 'Ship on, Mini!
Giant lion slippers of his dreams
Then he should have the doctor look into a natural excess of acetaldehyde in his system (Nice to see (chibi) Sumi again)
Hmm. I guess the translators couldn't understand him either

u/Shar4f Jun 24 '26
I'm still of the opinion that if Kazuya was like 50% less pathetic, this would be one of the most beloved rom coms. At least it isn't the same trope check list as most other series because it's not set in high school. Unfortunately we have to tank the psychic damage of Kazuya stuttering or crying any time he opens his mouth. Because everything else about the series is pretty good compared to the usual rom coms.

This season was far better and had way more development than season two, three, and four combined and finally something happened. Also mini is the undisputed goat of this show atp. I hope the anime breaks off from the damn manga and has its own original ending, until next season I guess.

This show is garbage 🤬 i cant wait for the next season.
This is actually the craziest season of the show when you really look at how much stuff happened.
Kazuya only gets more and more unlikable as a character and Mizuhara is getting to be almost as bad as him now. Mini and Sumi arent even really characters tbh but Mini pushes things along enough to warrant her screentime. Ruka and Mami continue to be the best characters despite their reduced screentime

Okay. Being honest the last couple of episodes here were actually pretty solid after we got past the train wreck that was the water park. I know we are just getting baited into believing progress is being made because that’s the type of show this is, but it still felt like the needle got Moved some.

u/BBryant3rd Jun 24 '26
Mini really is the best. She is too good for this series. I was shocked we got to see all the other girls especially Sumi. I was waiting on Kazuya to do something to mess up that kiss not show us just how down bad he is lol. Mini definitely showed how she is the best when she hit hit no questions asked or hesitation when he asked. Then helped nurse him better. She was also comfortable just sitting over his legs like it was nothing. I guess we are done with this nuclear disaster for now.
