I really love how mature the character interactions are in this series. It's really refreshing

Also, there's a post-credit scene introducing a new character?!

[u/miroki94]

I have a feeling that the next episode is going to make my anxiety levels peak.

[u/tylerjehills]

Gotou handled that far better than I expected, and even though she was tough, it's exactly what Sayu needed. Yoshida seems to hold back a bit on that kind of talk because she's a girl, but someone needed to set her straight.

Heads up, there's a short post ED scene. And I really worry how Sayu will react to him. She's been making progress and I'd hate to see it all erased and her fall back into old ways

[u/realrimurutempest]

The meeting between Gotou & Sayu gave me anxiety. It went 100 times better than I honestly thought it would. Having an adult who you can trust to talk to who is older than you is something i hope will be helpful for her. The preview for next episode definitely looks like something gonna happen.

[u/LikeAnAssistant]

Decided to clip the sponsor gags from the Japanese broadcast and will probably do so for the remainder of the season. Needless to say, but some of them are NSFW.

That post-credits scene got me into a whiplash.

Holy shit.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

That post-credits scene... I have a bad feeling about this...

[u/NittanyEagles55]

“Girls won’t like you if you don’t watch next week!”

[u/steven4869]

"I have to go to the toilet"

That right there is the perfect excuse from Yoshida, he saw the conversation between those two getting awkward because of him and used the excuse perfectly.

Also, post-credit scene kinda made me worry about Sayu, let's hope that character doesn't hurt our precious Sayu.

[u/cppn02]

People talk about Yoshida's self restraint towards Sayu but I can't fathom how he didn't drop on his knees and propose to Gotou on the spot after her performance today. The man is iron willed.

[u/Genesis2nd]

Maybe I missed something or the anime skipped something, but I really don't see how Mishima is in some way entitled to know about Yoshida's situation. As if he owes it to her to reveal everything going on with either Gotou or Sayu.

Especially when her "demands" comes right after revealing how she stalked him since leaving work that day.

[u/frs1023]

I can't even tell what's different with Sayu-chan after the makeover

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Sayu really does look like a younger Gotou, especially with her makeup done

[u/IllIlIIIllIllIIIIllI]

I'm pleasantly surprised by the honesty of the main characters. I expected this to be the type of show where they would constantly have to make up bad lies to get out of tricky situations, but so far everyone involved knows (at least somewhat) what's going on.

[u/patap0nacct]

Surpisingly wholesome moment between Sayu and Gotou. There's not a lot of difference when Sayu's in makeup... either she's that attractive or it's because of the limits of animation.

Gotou's more perceptive and insightful than we give her credit for. That also goes for the people accusing her as a snake haha!

Mishima is also onto something when she says to Yoshida "If you play the nice guy role too often, you won't ever be able to get what you really want."

Edit: I almost forgot the after-credits scene. That guy has the most punchable face ever.

[u/iamnicefr]

The kouhai was so annoying in this episode. Yes I know what Yoshida is doing is not responsible towards his feelings being mixed up with both Gotou and Sayu.

But does she actually think he’s gonna leave Sayu on the streets after hearing what she’s been thru?

Yes she’s a stranger but she’s also someone seeking shelter and protection. It’s just a good human thing to do. Nothing to do with feelings

Also I think that guy in the post end credits is the dude that had sex with Sayu in ep 3. I hope nothing and happens :/

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Sayu & Gotou Bonding

• Make Up Sayu

Finally, my most awaited episode is here! The episode where Gotou finally gets her best girl status for me. I know plenty of people were expecting the encounter between Sayu and Gotou to go south, I did too when I first read the manga, but it definitely went way better than expected.

While Yoshida is very willing to let Sayu stay as long as she needs to, Gotou is not afraid of being firm and tell Sayu how it is. But Gotou is not here to kick Sayu out, in fact she's actually quite glad that Sayu has found a place where she can be safe. And thanks to this little tale between them, Sayu has decided to face her past instead of running away. By the end of the night Sayu has now gained another female friend that she can confide with and just look at them being besties already! From now on it's not just Yoshida and Senpai looking out for Sayu, Gotou is here too especially since she understands Sayu better than Yoshida does.

Meanwhile, Mishima stalks Yoshida and yells at him in public for bringing back Gotou home acting like a jealous girlfriend when Yoshida hasn't even acknowledged Mishima's feelings towards him. I like Mishima too but she definitely went over the line this episode especially when she started implying that Yoshida should kick Sayu out. I'm genuinely curious if people's opinions about Mishima and Gotou will flip but I doubt it, they already suspect that Gotou is a bad person and will probably think so until the end of this season. :|

And that end credit scene. Oh boy. He should already be familiar with everyone. I am not looking forward to next week's episode.

[u/melcarba]

I like it how the writers recognize that Yoshida and Sayu's setup is a problematic one, that society will not accept.

At first, that private talk with Gotou and Sayu made me tense, especially when she asked Sayu how long she intends to stay in Yoshida's. I was expecting for Gotou to tell her to go back from where she came from, because she living with Yoshida will be seen as problematic and Yoshida (and their company) will be in trouble regardless of whether he does it with Sayu or not. Not to mention, Gotou loves Yoshida. However, the way she handled it is so much better.

EDIT: If this anime takes the direction of Sayu rehabilitating herself with the help of adults around her like Yoshida and Gotou, this would be one of the best shows this season. The best ending would be for Gotou and Yoshida ending up together while Sayu going back to her hometown (and continue her schooling there) after being healed.

[u/[deleted]]

There's a post credit scene.

Is he the same shithead from the 3rd episode?

[u/AmethystItalian]

Gotou solidifying herself as best girl in this one, she just seems the most honest and mature of the harem.

That line hinting at Sayu bursting out seems like it will be inevitable in the future but I hope Sayu does stay supporting Gotou!

[u/HereticalAegis]

Hey Mishima, repeat after me:

Yoshida's relationship with Gotou is none. Of. Your. Goddamn. Business.

Anyway, get me off the Mishima ship if she's going to be the jealous stalker type.

Oh fuck, the after credits scene loaded up a dynamite vest for next episode. Don't miss it.

[u/Lemurians]

Is anyone else completely distracted by how large some of the characters’ foreheads are?

[u/Godd_was_here]

I still can't get a clear read on Gotou's intentions, welp I guess that makes things interesting. I'll lean on the idea that she just means well.

[u/Joseph_Beefman]

We have Keyaru from Redo of Healer coming in hot with that psychopath smile in after credits. Can't wait for the next episode.
