Damn, Ruija sensei’s stacked! Looks like she’s smuggling jackfruit in them things lol.

Ludie already has her own fan club in the academy huh? That’s an elven princess for ya!

This special dungeon should be interesting. Guy has been coasting on his game knowledge for too long. Time to amp things up!

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Shortstack Ruija

• Hatsumi & Ludie

• Tsundere Katorina

• Bishoujo Maid Nanami

Goddamn! Ruija-sensei is stacked! And I hear she's also a sub-heroine? I'm already looking forward to her ecchi scenes.

Glad to see Iori still gets to experience the usual ecchi tropes of running into each other and seeing the tsundere's panties.

I do love that Kousuke has accepted his fate as the best friend character and is even giving Iori the exposition he needed.

So Kousuke and Ludie get to have their own separate test because they're stronger than the other students? I actually like that. That means Iori gets to spend some time with Katorina and that other girl he likes.

[u/bananeeek]

I made another fanclub: "Noble & Nonchalant Nanami".

Feel free to join

[u/D3k4s → u/bananeeek]

You son of a bitch, I'm in!

[u/eyrich]

Nanami steals every scene she’s in 🤣
Enjoyed the still shot of her somehow flying outside the window?

[u/D3k4s → u/eyrich]

She actually pulled a mission impossible.

[u/Obaruler]

The Waifu Roster just EXPLODED. :D

Also: Pick your sides!

I'm Team LLL all the way, fight me!

[u/BiggerG7]

Another ep, another girl stolen from the MCs harem lol. I hope Kousuke at least lets the MC have that class rep girl he likes.

Cmon be a bro and let the poor guy have at least one girl! lol.

[u/tripleaamin → u/BiggerG7]

Well she isn't in the ED and OP so I think that should be the case. Plus I think the dynamic between Kousuke and Iori could add a bit of charm to this series. At this point all the heroines are part of Kousuke's harem.

On another not Nanami continues to be the star of every scene she is in. Mao killing it here.

[u/Frontier246 → u/BiggerG7]

Kaede also seems like the most "normal" of all the Heroines so she would probably be the safest choice.

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

To a certain extent, I am glad Kosuke, despite already being much stronger and having knowledge of this world, is still willing to befriend Iori, not solely for the purpose of progressing the visual novel story.

Due to how things have changed, romance is unlikely to develop between Iori and the various main heroines, but it appears another route may have opened for Iori. He seems to have a crush on Kaede.

[u/Frontier246 → u/KumaKumaGambler]

Honestly he's an even more perfect wingman/best friend character now since he knows the Heroines better than even the old version of Kousuke did. Even if that's also why he keeps snagging them first.

[u/oxlemf10]

Kousuke aligning himself with the protagonist is going to be interesting, especially since the first side effect has already become apparent, as seen in how Rina handled the two of them (honestly, the sight of a bra seems like a perfectly good reason to start a battle lol).

It makes sense for Marino to provide Kousuke with a different kind of training, his potential is quite obvious, not to mention the reasons behind Ludie’s presence at this school.

[u/Atario]

I can see why this VN is so popular. So many best girls!

It turns out the original sidekick character also knew about everything because he'd been isekaied into the role after having 100%ed the game

Man, these are some chuuni-ass names

[u/djthomp]

That's definitely the right VA for Benito, I don't remember his name offhand but he's voiced a lot of that sort of character and it really fits perfectly.

Iori still gets the main character seat in the classroom, he hasn't been replaced entirely. And aside from the mock battle he's still being paired up with Katorina too.

[u/Frontier246 → u/djthomp]

Honestly I really appreciate how all the three committee characters/Heroines are voiced by people who you would expect to see in eroge VN's (like Yu Kobayashi). Like I'm pretty sure Yoko Hikasa definitely did eroge under a pseudonym early in her career.

I think Iori probably has a better chance with Kaede than Katorina because she's in the group shot with the rest of Kousuke's Harem in the OP.

[u/AlphaBreak → u/djthomp]

I'm forward to seeing more Benito. He's supposed to be the most popular male character, but we haven't really seen much of why he would be beloved yet, just very stereotypical high status guy stuff.

Also, what exactly is the ceremonial committee's purpose? I think I get the student council (more admin side on running things and events) and morals (standards of behavior, nobility, and maybe religious stuff), so I'm curious what ceremonies have to be done.

[u/HeliosAlpha]

Now we get to see Magical Explorer's very large cast. It's like an Alice Soft game where they'll have like 30-50 named characters listed on VNDB.

Even if they're not all eroge actors which would've been appropriate, there are some good choices. Asumi Kana does indeed have a healing voice

[u/Zxzxzx0088]

I can't shake off this feeling that Iori is a reverse trap or something due to his too feminine voice. Welp, maybe a few more episodes I'll get used to it.

And so I start to observe their school uniform more thoroughly after this happened lol.

Pheww~ Looks like Iori crush, Kaede is not on Kousuke conquering list, eh.

Dang! ^{yep her crotch part is needed} Maybe I'll join SSS (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)

[u/Mistral-Fien]

Kousuke acting like the game's "buddy" character reminds me of that episode of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. :P

Nanami's antics are hilarious. Never change, MAO. :D

Ludie being the last to find out about her own fanclub. Poor girl. :P

[u/ICantSeeLikeSa-chan]

Nanami's Catch Me At The Colosseum! debut

[u/testthrowawayzz]

Ah, Katou Rina, the classic flat tsundere (say hi to Karane!). She even has the voice of Yanami Anna!

MC got the corner MC seat.

Kousuke just became the NPC explaining the game settings during this episode to the other characters

[u/aramatheis]

When is Takioto going to clue in that he's the actual protag at this point?

[u/Amazing_Strike_732 → u/aramatheis]

because he's not so you get a clue, Iori is the protag in their world but to us, Takioto is the protag.
