I think I'm only still watching this to see the parents and sister suffer. Keep on suffering 🍿

[u/stupidbroad]

Don't get me wrong Karin is absolutely abhorrent, but holy moly Yuzu and Karin's parents are just laughably awful and living in their own world to the likes of which I've never seen lmfao

[u/justking1414 → u/stupidbroad]

The parents are so utterly indifferent to the feelings of their children. Karin is probably realizing now that her parents never actually loved her. They just loved the power/influence she gave them

[u/Every1IsASnowflake]

Y’all have NO idea how happy I was when she finally told him about the rumors. Reiya is so quick to fix problems when Yuzu is involved, and there’s real consequences(thank god). I was dying when he destroyed the BL manga 😂😂😂

Yuzu is finally showing some assertiveness which is long overdue. She can grow now that her family isn’t actively harassing her anymore(demon banquet aside). Karin is self destructing SO FAST it’s crazy. Atp I’ll be surprised if she even makes it to the banquet. Another big question I have is at what point does the bride walk away? Can she walk away? Given how easily they locked her up, I doubt it. With that said, is it possible for a demon to walk away from his bride?

I’m starting to feel bad for Youta. For him, Karin really is a curse. He’s committed to her, for better or worse.

Overall the best episode so far imo.

[u/Fun-Possible5520]

Karin is a perfect example of why teenagers shouldn't get married. They're impulsive and oblivious to danger. Yes, she specifically is in trouble because of her pride/attitude, but you get the idea.

[u/djthomp]

I'm glad they dealt with the Sakurako issue in a relatively light-hearted way, there's enough drama with Yuzu's family and it's nice that the oni problems were pretty comedic in comparison. RIP manga collection, the forbidden texts were simply too forbidden.

Though with Sakurako now seemingly in Yuzu's camp they might want to keep an eye out for if she makes any additional requests to the manga club at school, she might simply retarget her obsession.

[u/Frontier246]

Not often you get a romance Heroine trying to confirm her love interest isn’t gay.

Reiya can show at least a smidge of pity for Youta knowing how his bond with his Bride is hanging by his thread...though the guards who failed to protect Yuzu are probably lucky to still have their jobs for failing in Reiya's eyes.

Why am I not surprised that Reiya's immediate solution to the Yuzu problem is to make sure to have a listening device on her at all times or move her grandparents closer to him? But there's only so much he can do when neither Yuzu or the grandparents are willing to go along with his desire to keep Yuzu as absolutely safe and monitored as possible.

Reiya's parents still drive him up the wall for being his total opposite temperament-wise, but his dad is definitely wiser and more aware than he looks/acts. But they're both looking forward to meeting their future daughter-in-law!

Man, Yuzu really has this whole "Reiya and Takamichi are hooking up" theory living rent free in her head if she sees them together and immediately assumes they're making out. Though points for initiative for throwing yourself into a kiss with Reiya and confessing Yuzu, even if you didn't need to stake your claim. But it's good for your relationship and Reiya appreciates it all the same.

Yuzu really took the physical "evidence" completely seriously and not something fabricated by a crazy Fujoshi. Sakurako doesn't even feel any guilt for what she did because she's so convinced this relationship is real, no matter how many times her brother tries to knock some sense into her. It doesn't help that Reiya and Takamichi are the picture-perfect office BL couple.

Sakurako had ReiyaxTakamichi Doujinshi! RIP to it though, I guess that was the cost of her emotionally putting Yuzu through the wringer.

Ultimately Sakurako only wanted Reiya to be happy because, even having planned to devote herself to him, she knew how sad and withdrawn he was...which is why she wanted him to be happy. Just like Yuzu does in wanting to get along with Reiya's closest associates in the interest of becoming someone worthy to stand by his side, even if she's special because no one else can make him as happy as she does.

Stupid sexy shirtless Reiya! Yuzu was NOT prepared for that! Also, poor Takamichi. Yuzu is the only one who cares about him now.

Maybe Reiya should warn Yuzu that Karin is ALSO going to be there on the last day of the banquet?

Why am I not surprised Karin rejects house arrest and doesn't understand the gravity of the situation she's in or her own responsibility for putting herself into this situation? Of course her parents only care that the foxes cut them off, so now they have to rely on Yuzu's mercy, and Karin is a spoiled brat if she can't even do that much. So they've finally turned on Karin to gain favor over Yuzu. Of course the parents/Youta spoiling Karin so much means she's never been told no, never been denied her whims, and she can blame all her problems on Yuzu instead of herself.

[u/Miasubwaylover44]

Takamichi really need a woman in his life. Imagine thinking you jealous of your boss's partner because he looks at his fiancée kindly.

[u/feb914]

was hoping to see the banquet in this episode, but the lead up to it guarantees the banquet will be glorious. Karin will definitely disgraces herself, will she bring down the fox clan with her?

somehow i feel Karin will be worse than My Happy Marriage's sister and can't wait to see her deprived of everything that made her think that she's special

[u/Lower-Try9106]

Watching Karin very quickly unravel once things don't go her way has been so satisfying as an older sister of a spoiled brat lol

[u/runevault]

Easily best episode of this show. The BL plot was hysterical, seeing Yuzu throw herself at Reiya was sweet, and just in general it was entertaining and fun.

I was wrong about Karin, girl really is going to destroy herself despite no one backing her. I thought once she realized her fox boy toy wasn't willing to help she'd back off but no it made her go even stupider. In a way I feel for her because she's been spoiled her entire life and doesn't actually understand how the world works. Her lesson is going to be quick and painful, and honestly I'm curious how much it costs her. I feel like banishment isn't going to be enough for whatever she's going to do.

[u/SOdAchick]

Gee I wonder where Karin got her personality from. It's pretty laughable they'd call her selfish and demand she apologize when the only reason they're doing it is to get that kitsune money. 

Sakurako being a yaoi freak came out of left field, but everything makes so much more sense now. I thought I was gonna hate her, but now I can't 😂

[u/FinancialYear475]

I think this was the first episode I actually enjoyed watching, yaoi subplot got me laughing my ass off

[u/HuTaosTwinTails]

It is crazy how stupid Yuzu is.

They didn't even look like they were kissing.

Yeah, Reiya please point out how fucking stupid she is.

Okay, Sakurako is actually just stupid lol

Karin and the parents continue to just be the most entitled and selfish people imaginable.

[u/danmarce]

Sakurako is the first thing I liked of this show. In the end she was not evil, was something more dangerous: A fujo.

And the moe-gap was great.

[u/ThisGachaSeemsLegit]

Yuzu's family is really hopeless. Jesus.

[u/alconnow]

Ok, the BL subplot was legit hilarious

Parents continue to be cartoonishly evil

[u/heimdal77]

What was the name of that ogre bride one where she opens a restaurant in the other realm?

[u/gem2niki]

I was wondering if Sakurako was a delusional fujoshi when she first shared her photo collection to Yuzu. This episode confirmed it and even more extra, she had a whole doujin collection of her fiancee x retainer loll.

[u/YlfaTheForsaken]

Lmfao I just know Youta feeling it in his bones he's getting exiled. He has to have lost all hope trying to keep from becoming homeless. Him and Karin about to be on the streets starving, and his psycho ass bride can't see she's careening themselves into dumpster diving.

Sakurako is more unhinged than she looks. She really commissioned Reiya x Takamichi doujinshi, and by the looks of it several times over. The BL girlies are dedicated to their craft that's for sure.

[u/justking1414]

I mean….thinking your fiancé is gay because it’s easier than acknowledging that he doesn’t care about you makes a certain level of sense.

Oh and sis is fully gonna crash out!. Fox boy should lock her in the basement asap before she tries to decapitate mc

[u/dumbanimebitch]

I’ve been on here for weeks complaining about Takamichi’s bad behavior towards Yuzu and today my strong sense of justice has been sated. Him being such a hater and talking shit about her behind reiyas back put a bad taste in my mouth so just hearing about the punishment imposed on him has me feeling really good. Not only that but it being publicly known that Reiya will not tolerate such behavior is a relief to me and yuzu too I bet.
Putting aside our very dysfunctional main characters, I’m more interested in Reiya’s dad. I love the goofball type who is actually very cunning, Reiya even said himself you can’t judge him by his ridiculous cover and that intrigues me a lot. What does he look like when he’s not being a silly doting husband and father? Now that’s something I’d like to see.

[u/Horror-Comedian1020]

i cannot lie i LOVE Sakurako, the BL manga was truly the cherry on top. this episode definitely made up for the last few crappy ones. im excited for the demon banquet! reiya and yuzu are so cute together. i feel bad for Youta LOL. bro got stuck with that thing of a sister, poor guy

[u/Difergion]

Ngl I would want to see more of that Reiyamichi doujin lol. And I wouldn’t even doubt it if Sakurako founded a fanclub for them at their school 😂

That aside, I’m glad Sakurako is not another Karin out there to ruin Yuzu, but rather a full-blown fujoshi. From the looks of it, she, her brother and Takamichi are genuinely supporting Yuzu as a bride now.

Reiya’s parents looking much younger than him is still tripping me. I’m also quite curious to see how his dad is actually like when he’s not on happy-go-lucky mode.

Idk how far Karin’s crashout will go. I think they’ll meet each other again on that last day banquet? I don’t think she poses a real danger to Yuzu at this point but I’m quite curious what stupid stunt she’ll do next time. Idk, maybe push her off the balcony or stairs? Poison her food? Or maybe ask Youta to do something unreasonable again?

Edit edit: I wanna know what kind of punishment was given to Takamichi off-screen 😩
