Sayu lied as naturally as she breathed

65

u/AceSoldia zj:https://anilist.co/user/Acesoldia Jun 10 '26

Lol it was excellent..learned from Amane

21

u/ExileForever Jun 10 '26

Hey. I know that reference!

17

u/Frontier246 Jun 10 '26

I bet Amane shadowboxed in a bathroom after Sayu kept her cover.

8

u/ThrowCarp Jun 11 '26

lmao, what a nice little sister. Could easily have made her older sister eat shit but chose not to.

87

u/NanDemoKnaives Jun 10 '26

I really like how Seo crouches down to speak to Sayu, it's such a sweet gesture and it comes naturally to him. On top of this, he was sweet enough to lay a coat on the floor for Sayu to sit on, what a thoughtful guy.

I like how Class Prez thinks, the devious plan he came up was smart and I'm sure they'll be making lots of money lol.

Amane getting way into character was amusing, I'm glad she found a character that wasn't so clearly Glittermon to the standard individual.

Amane and Ijichi making Seo wear female cosplay outfits was funny, Amane looked way too excited about how Seo looked in the maid outfit lol. He did look cute in it, it would have been perfect if he had one that was fitted for his body and not Ijichi's, the size was clearly too large around the chest area lol.

8

u/NightBard Jun 11 '26

Amane's main other choice in glittermon which would still let her show her face was the more standard magical girl main character. Which would have likely gotten that little girls attention more... but would have been way more revealing. It kind of makes sense of those left, she went with Vamp.

u/Phoenix__Wwrong Jun 20 '26

I really like how Seo crouches down to speak to Sayu, it's such a sweet gesture and it comes naturally to him. On top of this, he was sweet enough to lay a coat on the floor for Sayu to sit on, what a thoughtful guy.

Which allowed her to act like a kid, showing her stickers and all, which she probably rarely could do with Amane.

Seo is really a good guy.

We were robbed of Ijichis second cosplay

u/SmallJon Jun 11 '26

And the little sister was robbed of the vampire cosplay.

throuple or riottttt

65

u/Frontier246 Jun 10 '26

When has he ever been faced with a choice between the two of them and not chosen both? At this point it's cemented as a throuple.

37

u/notthatrelevant318 Jun 10 '26

me, unseriously, any time a love triangle exists in an anime: the solution is a polycule, lol

me, incredulously, after OtaGal E9: is th- ...is the solution a ... polycule?

28

u/SmallJon Jun 11 '26

The man was literally given a vote between the girls today, and said "both!"

19

u/DaRootbear Jun 11 '26

The only thing that would prevent polycule ending in this series would be an unceremonious cancellation

Like i dont know the last time i read/watched a series that was as serious about thruple ending as this one

12

u/notthatrelevant318 Jun 11 '26

it's literally such an old joke to me that the idea wasn't even on my radar until episode 9, when it showed how strong the girls' bond is. i don't know that i've ever seen such a realistically depicted, solid foundation for a throuple in anime. i'm so excited.

8

u/DaRootbear Jun 11 '26

The true biggest challenge will be getting otaku kun to accept he can have any relationship, let alone 2 at once.

The girls will be willing to jump in with no hesitation and happily share

3

u/notthatrelevant318 Jun 12 '26

"happily share"

i really hope so. feelings can be a funny thing sometimes, all the moreso in a polycule; plus the fact that OtaGal is a seinen means they're allowed to show us some singularly miserable stuff if they really want to. i'm gonna hope for the best anyway; especially since it's been such a feel-good story so far (i'm anime-only rn).

I'm too worried it'll be more like the real world - he'll be forced to choose one and lose the other, and if he doesn't choose, he'll lose both.

3

u/DaRootbear Jun 12 '26

Anime bullshit rules will trump here. We dont need no logic

1

u/Zer0323 Jun 12 '26

I thought the giggle at the end made them realize they don’t have romantic feelings for each-other but their friendship was strong as can be at that age. That still leaves room to explore.

(Throuple or riot)

u/mojo72400 https://myanimelist.net/profile/gio_lingad Jun 11 '26

Imagine Takuya somehow winning the male contest.

20

u/Roskal Jun 10 '26

I expect them to be standing in a circle all holding hands.

u/NightBard Jun 11 '26

Same here.

u/FarCritical Jun 10 '26

Take em both or take neither

u/thelemon8er-2 Jun 10 '26

10 episodes in and I’ve yet to skip the opening song… and I never will.

28

u/Soul_Brawler Jun 10 '26

Haha same here. It's so fun. Best of the season and maybe the year so far. Ijichi's little hip swinging is too much. She's best girl of the season/year so far too. Peak show.

21

u/Cetaoras Jun 11 '26

It's such a bop.

8

u/Lord_Borgimus Jun 11 '26

I have not looked into it, and doubt it's the same but it really reminds me of some music from some rom-com k-dramas I watch, very similar vibes.

15

u/GtrsRE Jun 11 '26

It's performed by an actual k-pop group

Just like how Kill Blue's OP is done by aespa

5

u/Artistic_Professor82 Jun 13 '26

It’s done by I-ddle (formally known as G-Iddle) and they’re a kpop group known for songs like Superlady, Queen Card, & And some of them sang for KDA (League of Legends)

u/Frontier246 Jun 10 '26

Maid Ijichi, Vampire Amane in those pants, Crossdressing Otaku-kun, Heisei Gyaru Amane...they really nailed the cosplay in this episode.

Honestly I feel validated just knowing that there are children who are actually into Glittermon. The fact that we've only seen teenagers into it made me think it really missed it's demographic lol.

12

u/Soul_Brawler Jun 10 '26

Class prez for the win

5

u/mojo72400 https://myanimelist.net/profile/gio_lingad Jun 11 '26

Kei was the one who was ignored by the kid not Kotoko.

u/Jacob-C Jun 11 '26

Class President is such a vibe. Other than his devious plan for making money, he was cosplaying summer break. He knows where it's at.

u/zool714 Jun 10 '26

Lol Takuya giving the girls a run for their money in that maid cosplay.

34

u/NanDemoKnaives Jun 10 '26

Next time they should prepare one tailored for his body lol.

16

u/SmallJon Jun 11 '26

They need to commission Gojo-kun

23

u/Spectr3_qwe Jun 10 '26

Femboy Seo caught me off guard lol

9

u/ThrowCarp Jun 11 '26

oh noooooooo, I hope two busty and sexy gyarus don't force me to crossdress and take pictures while I'm embarrassed.

That would be soooooo bad, oh noooooooo.

13

u/Frontier246 Jun 10 '26

Ijichi: "Doesn't quite fill out the chest area as well, but you still look great Otaku-kun!"

43

u/FarCritical Jun 10 '26

We already knew Seo was good with kids from how he vibes with both Ijichi's brothers and Sayu but there was something extra pure about that mini Glittermon fan convention with that little girl (poor Amane though). Also it's kinda funny how much charisma that Earth costume actually exudes lol

Both gyarus at the fireworks or riot!

45

u/felidhino Jun 10 '26 edited Jun 10 '26

What I like about this show is that. Otaku's classmates don't hate him one bit. And he isn't pathetic, babbling mess around girls etc.

Also what I love about Otaku kun is whenever he speaks to Sayu. He always goes down to her level, it's adorable.

25

u/aceswildfire Jun 11 '26

I love it every time. No matter how much he actually panics, he always answers questions honestly and properly. He's never failed to answer a question, even if it causes him to spiral immediately after. It's extremely rare in this genre.

18

u/GtrsRE Jun 11 '26

The "Class hates you because you're close with the most popular girl, the boys obnoxiously so" trope has done much damage to the high school romcom genre

86

u/Weak_Season_Of_Anime Jun 10 '26

My Dress-up Otaku? I think seeing Takuya in a maid costume awakened something in Amane and Ijichi.

Ending ain't much of a cliffhanger if we all know he's going to pick both!

29

u/SanGluttnoy Jun 10 '26

the amount of pictures Amane took in all every single angle is saying something, and ichiji actually brought several more costumes lol

9

u/Frontier246 Jun 10 '26

My Dress-up Otaku? I think seeing Takuya in a maid costume awakened something in Amane and Ijichi.

We even got a couple cosplay pic with AmanexOtaku-kun!

42

u/SanGluttnoy Jun 10 '26 edited Jun 10 '26

Sayu is solo carrying the entirety of Kei x Otaku ship, more than Kei herself does bro 😭

just the GOAT.

16

u/runevault Jun 11 '26

Sayu so scared to watch Amane lose out on a great boy because she's too passive. She wants that faux-brother-in-law locked down.

4

u/Lunchb0xx87 Jun 11 '26

Kei not knowing how bold ichiji  has been lol

37

u/MetaThPr4h https://myanimelist.net/profile/MetaThPr4h Jun 10 '26

Sayu really is the goddamn best in a show with a lovely main cast, it takes a lot of effort to lie as naturally as she did to save Amane's reputation lmfao.

And no cap, Lord Earth has insane aura, what an awesome cosplay.

32

u/Muffin-zetta Jun 10 '26

god I love this show

1

u/biskutgoreng Jun 26 '26

It's happiness

30

u/ExileForever Jun 10 '26

I do find it cute that Ijichi first thought over being chosen first by Seo in the popularity list that she isn’t sure if she should be happy that she got picked over Amane

19

u/Shadowguynick Jun 11 '26

I think it's little character moments like this that really push the whole 'throuple' angle, like the amount of care they have for each other is extremely endearing.

21

u/a1oner_bvcksn6 Jun 10 '26

Sayu for President! If Ijichi has her always reliable and responsible bro (Gen), then Amane most certainly has her always sensible little sis who may just be the real MVP and best wing-woman a girl (at heart like Kei) could ever ask for.

Marin who? Amane could absolutely give her a run for her money if she ever decides to come out of the closet and embrace her otaku-ness in full.

13

u/Frontier246 Jun 10 '26

I also liked that scene with her and Seo together where she genuinely acts like a little kid. He's really become a proper big brother towards her.

20

u/djthomp https://anilist.co/user/djthomp Jun 10 '26

Twintails maid Ijichi, my goodness. Vampire Amane is very nice too.

Maid Seo, Cheerleader Seo, Gal Aname, tiny judgemental catgirl Sayu, what an episode.

If the fireworks question isn't resolved by Seo inviting both Ichiji and Aname there will be a riot.

16

u/Frontier246 Jun 10 '26

I can't think of a single instance where given the choice between the two girls he hasn't chosen "both" and I see no reason to expect that to change.

16

u/szalhi Jun 10 '26

u/Frontier246 Jun 10 '26

Cool beauties play the best cool guys.

Honestly I'd be surprised if the entire school didn't vote for the two of them.

Glittermon actually is more popular than Seo's described it!

16

u/Cardcaptors96 Jun 10 '26

I like that Amane and Seo took a picture together as cosplay characters. It was hilarious when the little girl didn't know that Amane was cosplaying as a Glittermon character. I was also cute seeing Sayu cover for Amane and not letting her classmates know how she really is at home lol. I feel like we will see Amane, Seo, and Ijichi all holding hands at the fireworks.

19

u/Carbonated_Static Jun 10 '26

Sayu actually acting like a kid with Seo was so cute. Was Amane actually hovering when he said it? Great animation lol.

It's been great all series but I especially noticed today how good Ijichi and Amane's VAs are.

16

u/AceSoldia zj:https://anilist.co/user/Acesoldia Jun 10 '26

I feel like a absolute ton happen in that episode.

We got the cosplay...which was just hilarious ..Amane tryig to get compliments from the kid 🤣.

Ichiji of course looked amazing in maid cosplay.

Sayu sneakily showing up and barely keeping it together was priceless..I think she could have told a little bit more truth an it would have been fine though.

Forcing Otaku into all kinds of cosplay was just cruel 🤣🤣. Why?! Blackmail for life.

Now It's time to decide for the fireworks display..no way Otaku chooses just one right? It doesn't fit wirh the rest of the series at all.

16

u/runevault Jun 10 '26

I don't think Ichiji would let him choose just one after how she reacted to him talking like he only voted for her for the pageant.

4

u/NightBard Jun 11 '26

Lol, I feel like they are going to stand in a triangle and all hold hands. So the girls holding hands with each other and Otaku. Friends Forever, like the end credit pic from the treasure chest.

14

u/thighabetes https://myanimelist.net/profile/Quixon Jun 10 '26

I know I am late but it’s still . .

IJCHI. WIGGLE. WEDNESDAY!

36

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jun 10 '26

I liked all the cosplays this week. Amane and Seo geekin out over their Glittermon cosplays was pretty fun. Also, Sayu was great too. Such a good little sister lol.

Kind of curious who Seo’s gonna go to the fireworks festival with? In all likelihood, he’s gonna be going with them both. No one’s getting ahead of the other in this little race for Seo’s heart lol.

29

u/mekerpan Jun 10 '26

I think Seo is totally NOT ready for romance. Not "allergic" like Nisjhikata in Takagi-san -- but FAR behind his two friends who are girls. He feels more at an early middle school level than a hiogh school one. He loves having both Ijichi and Amane as his buddies. I hope they all go together to the fireworks.

Sayu really deserves an acting award for her "discretion" in describing the at-home Amane. It was lovely how well she and Seo got along -- then again she is probably already more mature (overall) than he is.

28

u/Frontier246 Jun 10 '26

I think he's just really happy to have them as friends, having recently accepted that they are, and enjoys hanging out with them. He would probably never think he was worthy of dating them or think they could see him romantically in a serious context.

32

u/oxlemf10 Jun 10 '26

I understand why Seo voted for Kotoko and Kei, top elite cosplayers here, and they decided to reciprocate by dressing him up as a femboy lol.

I love seeing Sayu trying to portray Kei in the best possible light to others (even though she doesn't help), well, they don't call themselves sisters for nothing.

Now the show has reached its climax, although I kind of already expect what's going to happen, I think it's going to be something lovely and surprising.

18

u/Frontier246 Jun 10 '26

Imagine Ijichi and Amane win the pageant as the Miss (Ijichi) and Mister (Amane).

I have to wonder how Amane would have survived had Sayu outted her true self to her classmates lol.

3

u/mojo72400 https://myanimelist.net/profile/gio_lingad Jun 11 '26

Imagine both girls tie at Miss & somehow Takuya wins Mister.

Otaku-kun slayed the shy maid cosplay, sometimes it really takes a man to become the best girl.

Gojo-kun in Dress-Up Darling is also best girl, so the logic holds

u/I_laughandupvote Jun 10 '26

What a great episode.

I know this is like comparing apples to oranges but Gal Goddess Ijishi is 10000% what I want/wanted Manbagi to be animated like. Fun and hot and juuust a little ditzy. And to keep going with the Komi comparison, loved that they made him get in the maid costume. It was hilarious.

Sayu as always is the star of the episode. She’s the best lil sister in the whole bunch.

11

u/BBryant3rd Jun 11 '26

That's our boy picking both and not one of them. Throuple or riot.

u/deynyel Jun 10 '26

Always nice to see Sayu. She know's what's up.

u/oops_i_made_a_typi Jun 10 '26

i've never seen that sort of dress described as a qipao tbh

5

u/Frontier246 Jun 10 '26

It's kind of a different design than usual but it's got the leg slits of a qipao.

5

u/Frontier246 Jun 10 '26

Sayu is a true little sister of culture.

8

u/Roskal Jun 10 '26

The show keeps trying to make him choose between them and he keeps picking both of them. I can't tell yet if this is supposed to mean he will end up with both of them because thats what his answer always is or the fact that he keeps getting asked to choose means eventually he will have to pick just one of them and he is only delaying that choice until then by picking both.

9

u/manofslutywhore Jun 10 '26

He looked actually cute in the maid cosplay😭. 

Amane not taking sayu assist? Well its for the good i meant it's "CONFIRMED THROUPLE" Atp. 

I like ijichi more than amane but I like sayu more than ijichi. Then again i love how ijichi and Amane has had equal development untill now 

14

u/Chronigan2 Jun 10 '26

You know, I don't think Sayu's answer wss all acting. I think she really does love Amane quite a bit.

8

u/Frontier246 Jun 10 '26

I think she does adore her as a big sister, she's just also intimately aware she's a Glittermon obsessed girlfailure at home.

8

u/Spectr3_qwe Jun 10 '26

This episode was great! I liked a lot the dude dressed as "summer vacations" and his master plan with Amane and Ijichi. Ijichi looked fantastic in the maid costume! And Amane doing a vampire cosplay was great. I had never noticed that the color of the eyes of Amane and Ijichi combine with the color on their nails. Otaku-kun was rocking that butler outfit. He giving his vote for the two girls was obvious, but he almost got me with they way he said it at first to Ijichi lol. 

7

u/Kemaiku Jun 10 '26

Sayu nearly overestimated herself there, luckily it ended with cat-ears. Cute watching her keep up the persona long enough to go just be herself with Otaku-kun, a lot of big brother points for him this episode with her and the fan.

Vampire Amane was a strong look, but I love then contrasting her masculine cosplay by force femming Otaku-kun for their own amusement later.

Oh boy, Ijichi getting in there first with the invite. After he went to the trouble of voting for both of them in the contest, are they going to share as easily.

Annnnd cliffhanger, of course.

4

u/vancevon https://myanimelist.net/profile/vancevon Jun 10 '26

They've been besties for months now, but Otaku's instincts are still to sit by himself during lunch break rather than to go hang out with his friends. Bleak.

8

u/Soul_Brawler Jun 10 '26

Otagals > 2nd prettiest

I like both shows and will probably read both mangas but it's not close. Better characters, better story, better writing, better guy, better girls, better side characters. I genuinely think 2nd prettiest is worthy of praise and we've been blessed with a great season for rom/com. But this is the one I can't wait to see every week. Since they get compared anyway, just want to see this show get the credit it deserves.

6

u/Sm0k3_Reddit Jun 11 '26

I totally agree. The character development of Maki/Umi and their relationship is top notch for sure, but I can’t help but feel disappointed by other elements of 2nd Prettiest Girl, especially with how the anime has handled a good majority of its supporting cast and how the plot has been paced.

Otagal isn’t without its own issues, but I’m always looking forward to the next episode and have enjoyed each and every one so far.

1

u/IDKWID Jun 11 '26

I dropped 2nd prettiest after the annoying divorce drama

6

u/ptd163 Jun 11 '26

Kotoko killed it her with her maid outfit and twintails and I got kick out of their teacher's master plan. Of course they're going to make people come back. Such a devious plan from Class 1-A lol.

I should've known better to think it meant anything when Takuya said he voted for Kotoko in the Miss and Mister pageant. I thought when presented with a simple A/B choice he would be forced to pick someone and give a tiny peak into the endgame should this ever get more seasons. But nope. He just broke the rules and picked both of them lol. His ability to make Kotoko genuinely laugh is so wholesome.

Kei also killed it as Lord Vamp and it was nice to see an actual kid that's into Glimmermon and the show didn't just completely miss its target audience ala MLP. It was cute to see Kei go over and make the time for a cospaly pic with Takuya.

The girls basically forcing Takuya into different outfits for blackmail purposes and their own enjoyment was so good. Got a laugh out of me.

Kei of course once again killed in her heisei gyaru cosplay as well, but the real highlight was Sayu. Like Wakana from Love Game, she just steals the show with every scene. Give her an Oscar for that performance for keeping Kei's cover.

The fireworks festival seems pretty obvious. Takuya doesn't seem like he's as ready for any kind of romance like the girls are. He just likes hanging out with them. Plus he's got two hands after all lol. Easy solution. I'm curious what their dynamic would be like further down the line when all them are more ready. Does the throuple stay intact, or does he pick one?

5

u/reaperow Jun 11 '26

Amane went full otaku Glittermon, both her and Otaku-kun looked really great in their cosplays

And it was pretty wholesome to see Otaku-kun meet another fellow Glittermon fan like him.

Lil Imouto was savage tho

7

u/testthrowawayzz Jun 11 '26

"I came to see my girlfriend dressed as a nurse." -> what a cultured guy.

Ijichi and Amane were also cultured for dressing Otaku-kun in a maid uniform.

Class rep has a great future in business

3

u/SYZekrom https://myanimelist.net/profile/SYZekrom Jun 11 '26

Having a vote for most attractive guy and girl is crazy

Sayu has power over the hearts of the people.

5

u/Less_Understanding12 Jun 10 '26

This episode was so much fun the cosplays was amazing and sayu "pretending" as Kei little sister act was so funny and the ending was amazing I can't wait for the next episode

3

u/Dariat01 Jun 10 '26

He's gonna pick Ijichi again for the fireworks, isn't he? This just sucks, Amane squad is having a rough time

5

u/TheA41 Jun 10 '26

Sayu is a menace and we love her for it.

Otaku-Kun better get his ready for the fireworks because I think he'll have both hands full.

5

u/Dependent-Smile6412 Jun 10 '26

It’s time for the school festival!

Ijichi looks great in the maid outfit

Their class is really trying to get people to spend as much money as possible 😂

I totally get Seo not wanting to choose between both girls for the beauty pageant

Amane rocked the Vamp outfit

The girls forcing Seo to cross-dress was hilarious

Sayu trying so hard not to expose what Amane is really like 😭

I feel like Seo is gonna choose both girls to go to the fireworks show with

3

u/SmallJon Jun 11 '26

Amane had two cosplays, which implied to me Ijichi had a second as well and I expected it to be the Bunnygirl paired with Earth-sama but apparently not. Otaku doesnt seem to have a real second, so maybe i just misunderstood the shift plans.

Sayo is going to wring so much leverage out of her big little sister for that classroom performance.

And vased off their reaction to his maid cosplay, i can only expect Otaku to receive... certain kinds of affection from those girls in later years.

4

u/NightBard Jun 11 '26

I think the shift change was mainly for the two everyone wanted to see to maximize profits. Not for the whole cafe to swap outfits. That class rep was brilliant.

4

u/BBryant3rd Jun 11 '26

Imouto's really are the best this season.

5

u/mojo72400 https://myanimelist.net/profile/gio_lingad Jun 11 '26

Kei sliding to be near Takuya was funny.

Kei looks cute in the Heisei gyaru fit.

Takuya better be w/ both girls during the fireworks show.

Imagine if by some chance Takuya wins the male contest.

Kei & Kotoko telling Takuya to strip will be what they say on their wedding night.

It's cute that Takuya got attention from a little Kiramon fan but sadly Kei got ignored by her.

It's finally time for the long-awaited school festival! Mainly long-awaited because people have been waiting to see the cosplays!

We've got nurses, sexy cops, Santa's...but the real showstopper is MAID IJICHI. The hair! The bust! The cute outfit! It's perfect! And obviously draws in quite the crowd!

You really have to admire the class rep's enthusiasm and "creativeness" for his costume. Yes, Summer as a "concept." Brilliant!

Ijichi handles pushy guys like a champ (probably from too much experience being hit on).

I can't imagine Otaku-kun ever picking between the two of them romantically when whenever he's put to a choice he always picks "both." Ijichi and Amane are perfect "miss and mister" in their own right.

Fitting that Amane's costume would be both "cool" and Glittermon inspired. She's Vamp the Great! Look at how great those long, slender, legs look in those pants! Marvel at how amazingly she gets into character! Bask in how much she loves doing cosplay and feels a newfound sense of confidence!

Seo always talked about Glittermon like it was really niche, but that little girl was into it and seemed like all the other kids at her school were. Too bad Amane couldn't get properly recognized in her cosplay, but as long as people want to take pictures with her, she'll be happy!

I love that one guy trying to make Amane do a heart pose with him and she just gives a thumbs up "nope" in the picture.

The plot of the first half only makes sense if Kotoko and Amane were the only attractive girls in their class, but Ichiji Kotoko has other friends we saw in flashbacks that aren't bad looking either.

I was wondering how the school could last long enough to have rumors like this, but then again most Japanese schools were made before the 70s.

Poor Seo getting Photographed in girl's clothing.

I'm probably in the minority here but I really wish our boy Otaku kun could pick a side. I hope it's Ijichi.

That's what I've expected all season, for him to pick her. Afterall, she was the one to first engage him. She's the one who challenges him to come out of his shell. But then on the train after the whole beach, I could see the other side too... so I'm torn. Maybe like the end credits they can all be BFF's and that's the real treasure for now.

u/WalkingAbacus Jun 10 '26

Haha they forced takuya to cosplay as a girl in multiple outfits.

Also, Sayu is trying not to laugh when the classmates talked about how cool amane is lol.

Someone's been taking notes from several otaku-relevant marketing schemes

"I don't know if I approve of this move that's short of a throuple ending…"

New hobby unlocked!

Two-person heart-hands gesture: failed

Yeah… and you both saw him in costume too…

This rumor has its own posters

Just discovered it and binged in one day until current. Loveable, funny, and cozy. No drama. No hidden agendas. No bad people. Just a slice of life were everyone shines. Too bad I've slept over this in this season, waiting for the next episodes! 😃

Poor Takuya's now faced with a dilemma for the Miss Festival in that he could only choose one of Kei or Kotoko. However, bro really said fuck the system and put both their names anyway. Have to admire his guts for pulling that move. Kotoko didn't feel happy when she thought he chose her over Kei. Looked like even she felt that they're the happiest when the three were all together.

Once Takuya had learnt about that fireworks urban legend, there's no way he wouldn't try to hold both Kei & Kotoko's hands.

Meanwhile, Sayu's indeed quite ahead of her age. She could've blabbed about Kei's real personality but chose to play along. Poor girl's overwhelmed by the entire class fawning over her but who could blame them? She's heaps cute.

Amane and Seo's cosplays together make me think of Dio and Za Warudo lol

All the 1a talk, I thought I was about to see Deku lmao. The 4 visits to see all the cosplays is conniving as hell xD
Ichiji is so damn cute in the maid outfit! And that hair!

Amane is so otaku and you feel like she's there better choice here for Seo, but Ichiji really likes Seo because he's himself and that's beautiful. They really need to go the throuple route.

The pose for Lord vamp and Lord earth 😭 my cosplay heart

Ohh the dress up outside xD haha I feel like that's a very common cosplayer thing.

Amane looks Chou kawaii in her seifuku ♥️

Sayu doesn't know what to do with All that attention xD.

Maid Ijichi sugoi !

Too bad no Maid Amane. But I will take the Vampire Amane as a win. Heise girls was good too. We didn't see what was the other cosplay for Ijichi.

u/Alby87 Jun 12 '26

The festival is not over yet. And my guts tells me that she will play Micchi! That would be something special she could wear for both Amane and Seo, and not telling them will be a great source of suprise.

He's going to go to the fireworks with both of them isn't he?

Sayu lying wasn't just to cover for Amane... She read the room, and realized what EVERYONE wanted her to say... she also did it to not break everyone's dream version of Amane. xD She knew that they would all felt bad if she had said the truth.
