Yeah no, I genuinely forgot the author was on some seriously high stuff when she was writing these set of chapters. I mean that blonde guy coming into the picture right now might make it seem fitting from a narration point of view, but not when it comes to the actual plot. Though his stuff will come later so will deal with him later, as you know, right now, we've a walking landmine among us who we need to stop.. Ayame.

She might be rooting for Hina and is even pushing Taiki, albeit subtly, for now, but yeah, that could go down south very fast if she overdoes it, which it feels like she would, given they are all in that training camp right now. Taiki might be thinking only about badminton but little does he know lol. I don't really like Ayame but I feel like it's about time Hina gets a closure.

Btw, no way Taiki would announce who he loves when both Chinatsu and Hina are at a hand’s distance from him, but yeah, training camp… bonfire.. Ayame… you know hot mess is awaiting us.

This is getting critical to be honest.
The efforts can go south very fastly.
Yeah I do think it is the time hina should get a closure.
& Messed up situation surely awaits us.

Ok I freaking love Ayame lol. Not only is she cute she’s the best wingman. It’s so funny each of the moriya sisters are on opposite sides of the Chinatsu and Hina war for Taiki heart. Karen has more of a laid back watch and support Chinatsu approach, Ayame is much more hands on with Hina and wants to do everything in her power to make Taiki realize what he got lol.

WAIT CHINATSU FAVE PLAYER IS STEPH?!!! NAH ACTUALLY IM SORRY HINA CHINATSU IS CLEAR AS BEST GIRL NOW 😂 😂 she knows ball. Did not expect to see such a direct reference, but lowkey I see it in Chinatsu’s play-style she was heavily influenced by him! Also he dropped 56 the same day as this ep lol.

Man those athletes are going thru HELL in that mountain retreat. Nothing forges stronger bonds than mutual pain and suffering

THAT ENDING FUCK. Ayame had good intentions with getting Hina and Taiki in the same game, but that confession card coming up is gonna end up backfiring. Either Taiki confesses to Chinatsu or Hina will take it and confess to Taiki leading to heartbreak, I’m not mentally or emotionally prepared for this. This show is awful for my anxiety 😭

I don't even know why I'm mad: it was obvious it would end up in that part. I doubt Taiki would reveal who he likes, especially after that intro about the pair formation at the bonfire, and with Chinatsu and Hina present. From my own experience, the best way to escape that kind of challenge is to have someone help you, so I put my faith in the god Kyou 🙏.

I have two things to say about Ayame. First, spiders seem to have a strange attraction to her. Second, even though she intrudes on the romantic development of the main characters, I still like her as a character, unlike others in different anime who play the same role. Her personality is charming and, honestly I don't blame her after Karen got it right with Chinatsu's fake platonic love.

I just watched ep 22 on dailymotion and I didnt notice any difference in the subtitles. Go through different uploads in dailymotion for ep 22. I am sure you will find a good one.

Okay, I admit, last week I was a little bit harsh on Ayame. Fuck it, I'm game. As long as she does not become a love interest, I like the chaotic dynamics she induces. We all know there's no way Taiki is gonna confess anything in this game, but still, the cup of coffee turning clearer as the milk is poured is an interesting hint that the plot is thickening, and the old "short haired friend that likes MC-kun" trope may not be unrolled in Chinatsu's favor as easily as it would in your generic romcom. I honesty can't think of many romance animes where the romantic feelings of the male protagonist is depicted in such a sometimes bittersweet and but virisimilar nonetheless way: It's always just a collection of blushing moments with different girls, witch, quite honestly, may be a guilty pleasure of mine, but is still objectively bad, screenplay wise.

Next Thursday is still so very far away, holy shit we know how's it (probably) gonna go, but I wanna see it ASAP.

@blue_eyed188 Some of the Daiki and fucked up pronouns is almost unbearable. It's been so fucked up that I turned it around and been using as material for japanese learning, in a sense of "I'm paying attention to what they're saying, and if I don't get it, the fucked up english subtitle works will fill the gaps"

@ninka22 In the end it will very obviously turn in Chinatsu's favor. Just not as easily as it does in many animes, where eventually the second girl is just forgotten and put aside to never be seen again. Please, bro, pay attention to the words written, a tiny bit of text comprehension doesn't hurt

Well I figured Ayame would be a wingwoman of sorts but not like this lol, she’s got the wrong idea about Taiki and Chinatsu’s love interests and is instead trying to help Hina, and while that’s nice and all, it ended up backfiring near the end of the episode when Taiki got THE card, I kinda doubt he actually confesses here because it just feels like the mood isn’t right for it, especially with everyone there to see it, but still a good cliffhanger.

Also Chinatsu’s new hairstyle is pretty epic, she looks like a rail rider at a Phish concert lol, very cute tho.

I really hate the way blue box does things. Like its got a great set of characters and just uses them weirdly. Like when Haryu lost to Yusa and they just havent brought it up until subtly hinting on it by showing Haryu avoiding Taiki's attempt's to pair up with him.

and then you got this stupid bs matchmaking things from Karen's sister. Like Hina knows Taiki likes Chinatsu so why didn't she just mention Taiki was interested in someone else and bro now we get introduced to some random dude on the last few episodes like this has been such a weird episode.

But I hope next episode we can get a confession or something.

Cause seriously this show has been all over the place recently.

Ayame got a false confession out of her older sister. This will probably only cause more problems for Taiki and Chinatsu later lol. And she figured out Hina confessed to Taiki too. Ayame's literally living in her own world. She doesn't have the complete picture and instead of minding her own business she's interfering. This could backfire later. That being said, I like her lol. She's making the story way more interesting.

I love the way Chinatsu teases "Inota" lol. Taiki being the doofus he is falls for it every time. It's so cute.

All the teams are now on a training camp. It's a bit surprising how the main cast get along so well. Like Haryu and Chinatsu's friend agreeing to play that stupid game. And man, what a cliffhanger. It'll probably lead to nowhere like that episode where Chinatsu fell on Taiki tho... But we'll see. The weekly wait for all these great anime is killing me.

Looks like Ayame is on Team Hina right now. We got wngman Kyo and Wingwomen Ayame now. Sadly, she doesn't know it, but she's going against her beloved Chinatsu in this race. We also got some basketball guy for misunderstandings maybe? I mean Ayame right now thinks Chinatsu likes this guy but I wonder if he'll push Taiki to do more?

Really liked Ayame this episode...lets hope she doesn't break anyone's heart.

Karen unknowingly willing Chinatsu's "type" into existence is absolute gold, and it's extra hilarious that not-Curry's presence probably won't cause a fraction of the chaos Ayame already has.

Man, that is one unfortunate reshuffle. Good luck, Taiki.

@blue_eyed188 kawasubs/toonshub fansub gets released 1-2 days after official japanese release, don't listen to anyone recommending dailymotion or other sites, they don't know what they're talking about.

I don't know why people recommend dailymotion since I precisely said I don't want ANY release but the one with decent subs. I know 2 days later you can find ones on streaming pages but I was just wondering am I missing something. And they keep talking about dm. Sigh.

Cliffhanger ending… Tough challenge for Taiki-kun. He has to say to Chinatsu-chan now that he truly loves her. A lot of time passed and I think this might be a good moment. Or if it didn’t happen here, he should go out with her and tell her then about his feelings.

Yeah, this is getting annoying. These past few episodes have been pushing unnecessary melodrama way too much for me. This show does so many things correct. Why did the author feel the need to write this hot garbage drama instead of focussing on actually interesting drama, which is the internal struggle of both Chinatsu and Taiki? Holy... -.-'

I seeI will have to continue this series in the manga, at least for closure on this current arc. I wanted to wait for the second season, but it seems the first season finale is heading for a drama-filled cliffhanger where everybody is unhappy.

Thinking of how I feel about Ayame is more complex than I thought it would be. On one hand, she is very nosy and chaotic, but on the other hand, she doesn't hold back in helping out those just as long as it involves romance, so it was only a matter of time before she got herself involved one way or another.

I can only imagine how tough the training camp is for those who went, which involves a lot of exercise and training all day. It does make me wonder as to why Haryu refuses to play with Taiki. Maybe the defeat against Yusa in the past is still playing in Haryu's mind, or simply this is his way of having Taiki play more with other players instead.

Either way, we got a tamer and more wholesome version of the King's Game, which hearing Kyo speak in cat puns did make me laugh (And also get the attention of one of my cats in a funny coincidental timing), but with Ayame being a mischievous planner, despite the cards being shuffled again, Taiki ended up getting a confession card. Whether he'll speak honestly or something else interrupts the game, who knows.

It doesn't change the fact that this episode ended on a cliffhanger and one where I hope Taiki gives us an answer. Kyo's word from before are still playing on his mind, so here's hoping he'll respond truthfully.
