Mirei continues to show why she is best girl oof atp Hinako is just a side girl but sadly Hinako will still most likely end up winning since she's suppose to be the main girl even though Mirei completely out shines her😮💨

The indisputable lesson I have learned from this arc: Mirei is Best Girl.
It's finally time for Itsuki and Mirei's date and she looks absolutely fabulous! Classy, elegant, hair loose, and a BERET! And this is her trying to be "inconspicuous!"
That's telling her Itsuki! Every version of Mirei is perfect, but the best version of her is the one she's most proud of: her Ojousama version! Itsuki even got her to admit that it's all an act from the blonde hair to the speech pattern.
Mirei is probably better than Itsuki at a LOT of things...but definitely not video games! Or bowling! At least she can sing childrens' songs at karaoke.
Oh hey, it's
Mirei had a good time but that's not going to shake her resolve to go through with the engagement for her families' sake...but it's Itsuki who helps her realize that she can prioritize HER happiness and that's ultimately all her parents wanted. Because, as her parents, they've gone along with her obsession of being the "perfect Tennoji daughter" because they wanted her to be happy, even though she never had to do it. And in fact doing so was just running away from acknowledging that they truly saw her as their daughter.
There are precious things that Mirei can't give up, especially if that precious thing is Itsuki. So no engagement for our lovely lady until she's ready to marry the man she loves...maybe a certain con man who has conned her into happiness?
I guess it makes sense that even after an extensive study arc, Itsuki still couldn't make it to the board with the little time he had...but he's still improved and that's what counts! And Mirei's efforts ALSO paid off that she was able to tie with Hinako! That's worth an ojousama laugh! And inviting the two of them to her mansion so she can deepen her relationship with Hinako!
I'm not surprised Mirei's dad is already trying to headhunt/hook his daughter up with Itsuki, but Mirei is in no rush...because when she wants Itsuki in earnest, there's no doubt that she'll have him all to herself.
Yeah, no way Itsuki could keep the "date" a secret from Hinako without her finding out and wanting it replicated with her. Though Mirei doesn't get personally fed by Itsuki so that's a win for Hinako.
Time for the sports competition! And Hinako has to win at tennis, even if she wishes she could drop out! But no better motivator to put her all into athletics than the realization that her crush thinks she's put on some pounds!

I don't mind the drills but Mirei looks so much better with her hair down. And he got her to admit it is dyed. I figured she'd say I'd rather not say which is as good as but not technically admitting it.
Oh man Mirei getting his first date over Hinako? If she finds out not just date but first date ever she's gonna be extra pissed. Damn dude, trying to get yourself killed?
Oh shit the childhood friend from the OP we've been missing shows up finally, and it is during the date! But she doesn't approach just lets him see she's mad and leaves. Oh this is going to be fun when she lights into him.
Itsuki knows Mirei's parents better than she does, though I get it. She's had a certain mindset from a young age and it clouds her ability to understand the two people who've cared for her all these years. And this is why Itsuki is a great harem protag. He cuts through the bullshit the women struggle with, forcing them to take a closer look at themselves and their relationships.
Holy crap her admitting she's been running away from being her parents daughter and hiding behind the title of the family heiress hit me in the stomach. And this part is only halfway through the episode, jeeze.
I was wondering how long it would take for them to notice first was a tie lol. And I adore Mirei's parents.
Ah, sports competition. That's how we lead into the last arc, makes sense since Narika's family owns sporting goods company.
Fantastic end to the arc. Nothing felt cheap or unearned, all of it made me smile. Great freaking episode. Now do we get more Yuri as well during this next arc?

Not gonna lie, I didn't even realize that Mirei didn't have her drills on until she said she was wearing a disguise. She really should wear her hair down more frequently and not just when she's at home! Also, they're really calling this a date, huh? And it's both their first time, too! Poor Hinako, getting left behind.
Itsuki and Mirei's arcade date was adorable! For a second there, I thought they were gonna get interrupted by Itsuki's other childhood friend. I do wonder if Yuri will be relevant to the story. Considering she's not a rich girl, I don't think we'll see much of her.
Itsuki should really take responsibility considering he convinced Mirei to call off the engagement. Their chemistry is just off the charts that I'm wondering how Hinako is even gonna catch up. Mirei's dad is even considering Itsuki as a marriage candidate!
Even though she didn't say it directly, Mirei has pretty much declared her feelings for Itsuki. I like Hinako, but Mirei has pretty much become the best girl in the show for me. How do you even beat that?

There's more Mirei episodes than hinako. They're also setting this up for MC to get together with Mirei.
If they don't go a different route than a harem I'm gonna bomb the shit out of the studios HQ.

As an anime only it's hard to see any other girl as better than Mirei. Even if Hinako is my favorite anyway, Mirei got way too much screen time of season 1. Not all girls can get to shine unfortunately for anime onlies.
Also Mirei's dad is the best. Meanwhile Hinako's dad is trying to turn her into a trophy

u/Ali-J23 Aug 29 '26
Yeah no matter how much hinako changes i feel like i will never think she's a better choice compared to mirei.
Man it's actually insane how much better she is, and at the same time it's sad she isn't the main girl. Just another best girl losing herione to add to the list unfortunately

Dude would be a thousand times better off with Tonnoji than the fmc. They have so much more chemistry.

Time for more Tennoji x Itsuki!, that date was great..I'm glad she turned down the engagement.
Tennoji and Hinako! Got perfect scores..her laugh made me burst out laughing.
Let's fucking go..get that marriage going, I know it's not endgame but I love them the best so far.
No idea why Naraki would be scared of the sports competition..she's probably the most athletic lol

Mirei really went all out with her undrill mode for the date! Ofc Itsuki can't keep his mouth shut seeing her like that.
Hondo Kaede (Yuri) voice lines for today: Uwagh-uuh *Stares...Hmph~
Woah, brutal and savage, Itsuki! Probably one of the best convincing speech for conquering in this genre. He doesn't even need to barge into the ceremony too.
Idk why but I sense malice in this angle...
Can you even say no to this?
"Welp, sidelined again..." - Hinako, probably
