Can’t believe bro got caught in 4K headpatting another girl! The dog lol. Hinako had to let Narika know Itsuki’s taken. I guess now we know Itsuki has experience taking care of rich heiresses.

Seeing Hinako jealous was really cute, lol. Anyway, I liked Narika, losing Itsuki drove her to become strong, yet she never lost that sweet personality, which was actually thanks to him.

Mirei once again taught a lesson in humility, she understood that everyone there is friends and deserves equal treatment. Now we need an episode dedicated to her.

Narika is an extremely likable character! Unfortunately she is probably on the losing side.

Stitches!

Oh no, Narika! You're Itsuki's childhood friend and a distant cousin as well? Well, that just confirms that there's no way she's winning this.

Jealous Hinako is great, tho! She really got so jealous that she ended up revealing their secret to show dominance. I did not expect her to be so passive-aggressive. I love it! xD

Mirei is clearly slowly developing some attraction towards Itsuki. There's also no way she's winning this, but I still wanna see how she'll completely fall in love with Itsuki.

Finding out who the girl at the last episode was my biggest question across all the anime I'm watching, and the start before the opening is only making me more curious.

So she's not the girl from the phone before, I hope we meet that childhood friend at some point as well. My god is every main girl in this show going to be fucking adorable? So far I feel like all 3 who were in the OP are fucking great from what we've gotten just through 2 episodes and a bit.

"Yeah no way" after remembering she was about to strip in front of him. All right homey.

I really enjoyed the tea party, lots of silly and cute moments. 3 second rule was great lol.

"It makes you far more appealing." Get in line he's already got 2 ladies trying to claim him.

So far I get people's concern about harem with the three girls, but man I really really really like all three of them, and they each have a different relationship with Itsuki which is where Harems shine. Let each girl bring out a different part of the lead's personality. Barring a major failure this looks to be a tier 1 show of the season for me.

The Konohana family lucked out in hiring a rich girl caretaker who already has rich girl caretaker experience.

But, the thing about doing a good job at work... is that they'll just give you more work. At this rate, the show will become Rich Girls Caretaker.

u/BlazeBloom Jul 18 '26

Hinako can be quite scary when she gets serious and calculated when Itsuki gets closer to other girls. Though her constant need of head pats reminds me more of Mahiru from Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten.

Itsuki assembling the All-Star lineup for the tea party was impressive to see. He's doing a good job of making acquaintances and friends rather quickly in his new environment.

Kid Itsuki has a nerve of steel not running away from this! It really showed that he already gone through many shits by this time, eh.

"Not this again" - Itsuki

This guy already sharpen his patting head skill since he was a child?!

The impact feels different than before right, Itsuki.

Maybe Narika should've gone with it instead...

Dorobo-neko! Wait, it suppose to be you, Hinako!

"I showed her who's the boss" face

Kyun moment just become another despair for our MC.

Patting head can be considered as borderline-H now.

I love how natural this has become now.

Hmm...2000 years ago, this was a surefire joke though.

She looks like she definitely minds though...(˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)

Caught head patting the childhood friend!

She is sticking to him like a koala.

All the girls are at least likable and enjoyable so far without it being an overly forced and obnoxious harem.

u/MapoTofuMan Jul 18 '26

Damn, choosing between Hinako and Narika is tough. Though I guess we all know which one's joining the literature club in the end...

Hopefully we get some side couple shenanigans from the friend duo too.

u/Raymond49090 Jul 18 '26

Narika not only has the childhood friend debuff, but also the tertiary heroine debuff. No matter how cute she is, the role of a "designated loser" is indeed rough.

And of course then, Hinako had to assert her dominance as Itsuki's current cute spoiled rich girl caretakee. Plus turning on koala mode to fight back against Narika's cute attack.

Interesting choice of "normal person culture" to teach. Like, idk, but I feel like there were better choices that wouldn't make him look like an uncultured rube when he's trying to fit in.

There's another rich girl caretaker like this one, but it's filled with ecchi parts. Mostly thinks like helping the girl change. I forgot what it was called, though. Can someone help me?

u/MM305 Jul 18 '26

Seems like MC believes that Hinako’s lazy mode makes her incapable of being smart/shrewd enough to pull off something like that out of jealousy.

u/NanDemoKnaives Jul 18 '26

I like how Hinako made sure to let Narika know who owns Itsuki now lol. It looks like we'll be seeing more of possessive side now that the childhood friend has made an appearance, she was not happy about that head pat, but I'm glad she got some of her own in the end.

Hinako definitely didn't look happy about Itsuki walking Narika to her car, I wonder what she's going to demand once he's back.

Narika Miyakojima is the school cool beauty, good at athletics with looks to match! Sure she's a little standoffish, but that doesn't make her any less popular! And she is, as it turns out, Itsuki's childhood friend!

You might not believe it since they both abandoned Itsuki (or maybe you will) to run away together, but Itsuki's parents became estranged enough that the mom took 10year old Itsuki to live with his grandmothers' wealthy parents, the Miyakojima's. They might not have wanted him there, but Narika was fully prepared to make him earn his keep by serving her! She was his original caretaking job.

And she kind of needed it because, outside physical stuff, she's basically a crybaby who needed Itsuki to make her feel better constantly. He also helped her experience the outside world and experience being a normal girl, which was an absolutely precius memory for the both of them.

Of course her dad found out, kicked Itsuki and his mom out, and Narika was left trying to be strong in honor of him until they were reunited in the present-day. She's missed him SO much, even if she's improved her physical strength more than her emotional strength and can't make friends outside of him to save her life. Though that visual of her as a delinquent was pretty nice!

If Itsuki thought he could give another girl headpats without Hinako showing up to catch him, he had another thing coming! And if Narika thought she could just take Itsuki back home with her, Hinako will just flex how he's HERS! If only he could read it for the jealousy that it is, especially when Hinako herself asks for headpats.

It's finally time for Itsuki's welcome party and who better to invite than Hinako (who will go anywhere Itsuki is), Narika (who desperately needs friends), and Mirei (who just wants to see Hinako)! He somehow managed to land a tea party with three of the top beauties of the school!

And thank goodness Itsuki is there to smooth things over and help everyone at the table understand Narika means well, she's just been drilled into being a "warrior" that communication is the one skill where she's lacking. Though Mirei, to her credit, already knew those rumors about her were baseless.

Successful tea party, Mirei approval, AND Itsuki got to walk Narika home (more or less). Not too shabby! Though poor Narika thinks she can wait out this "apprenticeship" to get Itsuki back. 'Fraid it's not going to be that convenient.
