Ep 3

I'm surprised that Sayaka didn't annoy me as much as I thought she would. I also agree with other posters about Mayumi. That was great to see.

So far, this is my favorite show of the season.

Episode 4:

Another decent episode although it felt kinda slow. I guess that also applies to spoiler[Usa's relationship with Ritsu. At the same time though, I think he is making somewhat of a progress when she said "Thank You". But damn, skipping four consecutive traffic lights. I mean, that is dedication to books girl!]

Episode 4

Well my analysis of Kawai last week was pretty relevant this week. I think that I can kind of sympathise with her as a person who is usually totally fine with not having many "friends".

The response to Mayumi spoiler[not drinking] was totally called for.

I liked this episode, maybe more than the others so far. Kawai came off as more of anspoiler[ introvert with her feeling that other people can be fatiguing]. And so far its been nice that she didn't need rescuing spoiler[from her "shell"]. How they handle that in the long run will really affect my opinion of the show. If they let her be her own person withspoiler[ bookish or introverted qualities I will be happy]. If they turn her into a giant spoiler[extrovert] by the end of the show I will be annoyed.

Ep 4

I kinda related to Ritsu this episode, although I'm not quite as introverted as her.

Everybody's reaction to spoiler[Mayumi not drinking was hilarious.]

Episode 5

Well Usa finally made what appears to be lasting progress. You could say just on the front that he had fun with the fact Ritsu was spoiler[having fun with water gun, which was great to see for both]. But relationship wise, even though he thinks that he is messing up, he is not realizing that her being shy, and that she was spoiler[ecstatic that they felt different things about the same book]. He thinks he messed up, but clearly a spoiler[conversation of thinking the same thing would be boring to her]. I am really liking where it is going, also very funny about Mayumi spoiler[telling them just to kiss already].

I am a little scared after watching the preview.

Ritsu's spoiler[froggy suit] was cute tbh.

The latest episode had some good bonding moments spoiler[although their opinions sure differ from what they've read out of that book lol]

Episode 6

Now this episode was precious, some scares with Chinatsu being with Shiro, but in the end Shiro is actually pretty awesome. Surprising what can come from an episode that had a focus on S&M and a loli. Not sure why, but I was suddenly reminded of Sakurasou, maybe I should have thought about it ealier, but I am starting to think of it in a similar way, which is good.

Highlights being Mayumi going duck face and Ritsu embarrassing herself by spoiler[saying he would be a better choice]. Laughing

Episode 6:

The first few seconds of this episode threw me off tbh. Well, it was kinda unexpected. Overall, I have some more respect for Shiro now or at least will be paying attention to him more.

The spoiler[S&M jokes] made me LOL quite a bit. This is classic Usa.

Episode 7

That was very good, seems to get better each time.

The first part had a more emotional part to it, but still funny. Seemed that she might have learned a lesson.

Usa's past was hilarious, especially with everyone spoiler[else reacting to his nickname, even Ritsu who was trying to hold back her laughter]. His family spoiler[attracts eccentric people so he was used to being around them, in junior high attracting the oddballs to him, the irony of oddballs making fun of him for it]. He probably likes Ritsu because spoiler[she is quiet, unlike the mad scientist, chuunibyou and supernatural fanatic]. And now we see that she likes him spoiler[in the period set uniform], he did not stand a chance.

I look forward to see the next episode, how he spoiler[does trying to get oddballs to work properly], and looks like Ritsu spoiler[might join in].

Episode 7:

I thought the first half was about to transpire into a spoiler[mystery like episode where they will try to find the culprit]. I guess they resolved it pretty fast though with Ritsu getting caught up into the mess as well. The episode overall imo was funny and I have to say, some of the uniforms/outfits was quite decorative even if it looked simple.

I was disappointed that we got to see Shiro's eyebrows but not his eyes...but those spoiler[bondage] skills sure are top notch, makes me wonder just how exactly he earns that money for the rent. Laughing

Looking forward to meeting the new weirdos next week.

My favourite part of the eppie was when MC says, spoiler["take your hands off senpai, you tiny-dicked bastard!" then actually sees the guy's schlong and changes it to, "you dicked bastard!"] Laughing

At least MC has accidentally stumbled on the secret of how to make senpai's pantsu all moist...

I really loved this episode. Ritsu slowly developing out of her loner personality.
