Doubling up this week! Let’s just get into it.
I’ve never seen a bed with such a neat compartment built into it. It reminds me of those ads I’ve seen for that all in one bed frame that has USB ports, cup holders, a little swinging table, shelf space, etc. One day I’ll never have to leave my bed again. There’s so many things I could do with it. However, I don’t think stashing panties is one of them. At least this episode acknowledges that in addition to the girls definitely being perverts, there is also a blame on Keiki for not only putting up with it, but encouraging it. I mean, in his spare time he is wearing the unknown underwear on his face. I was actually thinking to myself, why does he do this? And then less than 15 minutes later, Yuika asks him that exact thing. Granted, he was being blackmailed but so what if his sister sees the BL doujin. He already saw her naked, complimented her choice of underwear and she didn’t bat an eye. I liked how much she was featured in this episode. The nice family emergency meetings, the chatting on the couch. Great Mizuha content in this one.
NAME DROOOOOP. I can’t believe it took until episode 8 to get the name of the show said as a line. Keiki seemed very complimentary this week.
So we got an even more up close and personal exploration of Sayuki’s fetish. Like Keiki, I also guess I didn’t understand what exactly she meant by treating her like a dog. I expected something much worse, but it ain’t so bad. Belly rubs, head pats, handshakes. It’s a lot more innocent than I was thinking. It gets a lot less innocent in episode 9, but we’ll talk about that in a bit. Of course if Sayuki came, we all know Yuika was coming right after. To me, her fetish is the most boring. I think the fact that she’s so tiny but is a master-type is supposed to be the contrast/interest, but it’s so one dimensional. I don’t know why I’m rating the kinks, but whatever. It’s true! I can’t believe she said he looked terrible in the bunny suit. My man was pulling that off. I know I’ve talked a bit about how not great the art is, but they didn’t even give her the right colored underwear. It’s supposed to be pink for the confession boost but they colored it blue in the original scene. They’re ruining the structural integrity of this amazing show. How am I supposed to feel satisfied with the detective element of this show if we can’t even get the clues right??
I’m so happy with the progress that Koharu and Shoma are making. That first shot when there’s that single picture of them together and we see the stacks and stacks of solo-Shoma thrown out. Just, adorable. Creepy, but adorable. Then in the next episode they are like the council for advising Keiki. And every time there’s a scene with her looking at Shoma she’s blushing! They’re so great now that they’re together.
My only complaint with this episode in particular was the lack of Nanjo! How dare you sideline her with the deadline excuse! I do like her when she’s in full artist mode though. Also, I was kinda confused as to her stance on her feelings for Keiki. I wasn’t sure if she just wanted him for the content or if she actually like him. He didn’t give her the nipple-sucking moan she asked for, but at least we know by her other questions that she’s a part of the harem too. Oh, speaking of lack of character appearances. Absolutely no Fujimoto, except a flashback or two. Man, no love for the better girls in the series.
We are on episode 9, so it looks like we’re reaching critical mass. It’s time for dates, round 2, no playing around this time. We’re going full fetish mode. Nanjo and Fujimoto have more or less been cut according to the evidence presented. I mean, it’s possible it wasn’t Cinderella who took the panties away but the show seems to want us to just ignore that part so that’s what I’ll do. I mean… it’s Mizuha, right? It has to be. I don’t think it fits any of the other kinks for Sayuki or Yuika.
Imagine spending a whole date just trying to catch a glimpse of their underwear. I was curious what his plans were, but even if you were sitting next to her on the rides there’s no way you’d see it. Actually, that’s like the worst place to be to try and see it. In the end, well, he got what he was looking for. Again, like Keiki, no clue what Sayuki considers to be embarrassing. I feel like Keiki now needs to… do something special. Flashing him while commando is like, another level than the show has given us so far. The Yuika date is up next so we’ll see how that fares.
It was so wholesome before that. That soft jazz music when she asked for a handshake on the walk back. Surprisingly cute for what we are watching. Of course they did a fake out with the Cinderella mystery. I don’t think that really caught anyone off guard. But if she’s willing to steal underwear, maybe she’s willing to leave it somewhere too… Hmmm.
I think if this was a visual novel it’d be so much better. It looks more like a visual novel than an anime at times too. Very weird that they went with this direction in the anime. Sometimes I catch a scene or something that makes me shudder with how weird it looks.
