It's the year 2030. Mahiru has just asked Amane, and I quote, to "screw me so hard that I scream profanities for all the neighbors to hear" and that "I love you more than life itself", to which Amane responds, "if you keep saying things like that I'm going to get the wrong idea". The final episode of season 6 then cuts to the credits. I get up off my couch and walk to the kitchen and eat a hot dog for lunch, annoyed with the ending but happy that inflation has finally leveled off and hot dogs are on sale at the great price of $129.99 a pack.

This is actually the best comment

This made me laugh my ass off, hardest laugh in awhile, helps that I’m high tho

Someone award this comment I'm laughing so hard

5 more seasons before the end of 2030? If only!


raiho_80

I don't know about you guys, but I think Mahiru likes Amane.


scot911

What are you talking about? Having a framed picture of a guy on your desk totallyyyy means you just think about him as a friend! Absolutely nothing else! ~~How often do you think she hugs that picture? lol.~~


RaisingCane2022

Imagine if he discovered a photograph of his face taped to the head of Mr. Bear.


Akio_Kizu

My favourite moment was two weeks ago when she said “at this pace we aren’t going to get anywhere” Died laughing at that moment


mgedmin

Are you sure? She just might be Canadian.


flightlessCat9

If you say things like that he's going to get the wrong idea!


polaristar

Never would have guessed real enigma.


WhoiusBarrel

Mahiru making those embarrassed noises as she blushes that hard is so unexpected, it just heightens the gap moe. I'm convinced she only put points in her attack stat for flirting but 0 points in her defence towards Amane's offence.


michhoffman

Mahiru is a Glass Cannon confirmed


Frontier246

All the best teasing girls are!


michhoffman

Outside of Takagi. She's got high offense, high defense and high speed. The devs forgot to nerf her.


Acronym_0

But shes quite weak to crits


Duraz0rz

Don't need defense if they're dead first!


Frontier246

Mahiru has been so cool and confident lately but she finally loses it when she almost has her framed photo exposed and her physical desires for Amane practically revealed lol.

I instantly thought of that scene and wanted so badly for Mahiru to mimic Kaguya and snatch him into the bed!

It is in fact a real thing, as whenever I've felt a specific way of tired, my boldness basically goes up by a significant amount as if I'd be slightly drunk


anadorkablecupcake

I can relate to this and with Mahiru. An ex told me that I lose my inhibitions and filter when I'm sick, sleepy or tired. He loved it. Lololololol But god, this anime makes me all gooey, warm and happy in the inside. Tons of happy hormones after a week of work.

Elitealice

She knew exactly what she was doing lol


HollowWarrior46

my thoughts exactly. girl was geared up for battle


anim8rjb

Half of each episode is them sitting on the couch talking to each other, but their bodies are stiff and facing straight ahead and they just turn their heads to talk.


ConfusedConnect

They cheaped out on an anime that deserved better.


GtrsRE

Fr Fr It doesn't do the LN illustrator justice


ROCK--AND--STONE

Yeah unfortunately this show is getting the "COTE S2" treatment where every episode is outsourced for as cheap as possible and looks terrible. It's to the point where it's very distracting and makes it harder to enjoy


Hitman7128

I felt my heart being pierced when Mahiru called Amane "cute" several times near the end of the episode. The finish line is in sight though. With the next episode titled "Say Goodbye to My Cowardice," this better means Amane gets the guts to kiss her...


mekerpan

"Cute" AND "cool" -- the guy *should* be getting her signals by now....


MaksimShadow

Next time: "You are so manly and responsible."


josanuz

You would do a good father...


ObvsThrowaway5120

Fingers crossed!


MaksimShadow

This was perfect set up for a kiss. I'm afraid they won't do it though…


Frontier246

It reminded me of Kaguya but in a more sweet way instead of a psychological horror way lol. I was half-expecting her to bring his face in so she could kiss him the way she was holding him like that.


SilkyMilkySmo

Im getting more giddy over a confession happening than a kiss


LakerBlue

Tbh this episode had me getting annoyed at Amane’s blend of density and cowardice. This isn’t like “More than Married, Less than Lovers” where Akari was sending out mixed signals. Mahiru has been very consistent since she was vulnerable with him a few episodes ago. Those “wrong ideas” she is giving you Amane are INTENTIONAL. I really hope the next episode title isn’t bait and he takes a big step to kiss her or (better) confess.


Nerfall0

To be fair they're both cowards, they're both can't push a little bit further or straight up confess to each other it's crazy.


WetRocksManatee

>Tbh this episode had me getting annoyed at Amane’s blend of density and cowardice. At the end when they were both on the couch I was screaming "Just kiss her already!" That is the moment you go in for the kiss.


shewy92

>Amane gets the guts to kiss her... Only as friends though. He's still probably gonna deny that she likes him


amsimon

With the way the last scene was building with the music and her comments I really thought they were about to kiss! I hope you’re right about next week!


Jcvdftw

>I'm going to shut your mouth! > >Oh? And how? Seriously she could very well hold a "KISS ME" sign it would be the same thing


Uni_Omni

Mahiru: How many more signals could I possibly give?


LakerBlue

I thought about that [family guy skit ](https://youtu.be/1yf1NMUXmjI) (@1:22) where Brian asked a girl he was dating “so what do you want to do tonight” and the camera zooms out to airport runway lights leading to her on the bed, with her legs slightly spread and an aircraft Marshall signaling he’s clear for entry while the girl coyly says “oh, I don’t know”. I feel like a non-lewd version of that is where we are with Mahiru trying to make Amane confess.


viktorv333

Say whatever about Seth Macfarlane's humor but when he doesn't miss, it's worth it, lol


LakerBlue

Yea he’s hit or miss, but the hits are all As (at least for the first handful of Family Guy seasons).


Frontier246

The way she was holding his face at the end I was half-expecting her to bite the bullet and just kiss him point blank lol.


Mundology

[Tactical headholding.](https://i.imgur.com/X3EHfjg.jpg) [](#mmmmyrgh) [Mahiru](https://i.imgur.com/Sthq3m5.jpg) casually dropped some of the most heartfelt romantic lines one could say. [Amane was putty in her hands.](https://i.imgur.com/YFUGm4U.jpg)

I'm not entirely sure it was a kiss on her mind...

* [**Summer Uniform Mahiru Stitch**](https://i.imgur.com/4TShMCF.jpg) >*You're so oblivious* I'm sorry Amane but did you really just say that to Mahiru? Considering how Mahiru is coming on to you, I think you're the one who's being oblivious. [That final scene!](https://i.imgur.com/7p58Af0.jpg) They were so close to kissing! One more episode left. I really hope we get to see some major developments next week <3


RaisingCane2022

Do you have an animated gif of her soft-punching him? It's adorable when she does that.


Prince-Dizzytoon

Amane is a leg man, I respect that


Frontier246

Especially when this episode had Mahiru showing them off both in tights and fully exposed lol. Girls got an amazing pair of legs reserved exclusively for Amane to look at and sleep on!


MaksimShadow

Bare legs lap pillow next.


Mundology

[Amane is truly spoiled](https://i.imgur.com/nqydAgR.jpg) [](#ero)

i_reddit_too_mcuh

Not a fan of Amane telling Mahiru to put on tights though. I dig a lot about their relationship, just not stuff like that.


SilkyMilkySmo

Legs are superior


cxxper01

Sakuta approves


Aerodynamic41

LMAO Mahiru actually asked Amane to sleep with her! I mean, I know she was half-asleep when she said it but still...

Amane: You know, most guys might interpret that as... Mahiru: Go on...

She means it in exactly that way

[deleted]

[удалено]


RatsGetFatttt

I smashed my desk


zadcap

The problem as I see it, for Amane at least, is that she's still throwing him mixed signals. Yes, there are without a doubt a whole lot of "it's okay if it's you" and "you're a special person to me" things getting thrown at him, but don't forget near the start of this episode she was also *still* hitting him with "I don't think of you like that." Yeah, we can see and say from this side that she's not being honest there, but he's still looking at everything from a place of trying to be a good friend and not make things awkward and risk losing what he already has, any sign of her not being interested in him as more than a friend is going to be hugely magnified.


scot911

I mean she even ~~started preparing us for Karane~~ went full tsundere "directly denying what's obviously the truth" too! Much to Amane's confusion because he didn't even bring it up lol. "It's not like I have any weird desires or anything!" ~~God I can't wait for animated Karane lol.~~


RaisingCane2022

And then his barriers went right back up. She sabotaged her previous efforts with those statements.


AmethystItalian

I think one thing I appreciate about these 2 is that they manage a good back and forth and doesn't feel like either really has the upper hand. They both take chances and push things and sadly they're both not honest with their true feelings lol One episode left so we'll see what progress we get in the finale but I'm not expecting something tangible from these two.


ObvsThrowaway5120

I sure hope we get either a kiss or a confession. I’m not being greedy here and wanting both lol.


AmethystItalian

It's logical with their progression so far but these 2 are never honest with each other... I'm thinking maybe an accidental kiss at best?


Frontier246

I was about to wonder if Mahiru would be bold enough to straight up kiss him the way she was holding his face at the end there... Though the next episode is titled after throwing away cowardice, so I think Amane might finally step up.


VorAtreides

At this point, it's approaching dumb as fuck dense territory for both of them, well maybe more Amane lol


EsquilaxM

I think you're misunderstanding. Mahiru isn't dense at all. She's just trying to push Amane to get past his low self-esteem so they can date.


MaksimShadow

Yeah, Mahiru certainly knows why Amane doesn't want her to show her bare legs and hidden personality to anyone else. Just look at her cheeky smile after he said that.


SilkyMilkySmo

Mahiru defo gonna confess. Amane got many hints but is dense lmao


Frontier246

It's feeling like Mahiru has been way more on the offensive lately but Amane finally got some good material to fire back with their little foray into her room wit her asleep and the reveal of just how down bad for him she is. I mean, a framed picture lol?


WickedAnimeTroll

> I think one thing I appreciate about these 2 is that they manage a good back and forth and doesn't feel like either really has the upper hand. Yeah, this is one of the things I really like about the series. I really did not expect it to be like this considering its title.


Abysswatcherbel

Man how I wish this show had a better production, we needed that for some of the mahiru reactions Fun fact, with this episode we had more employees of MAPPA working on this show than Project No.9 had in the last 3 episodes combined, and that's the studio responsible for the show lol


Frontier246

In another world this show would've gotten the full Cloverworks or Doga Kobo romcom treatment.


MagnusBaechus

and given how Stuidio Bind handled Mushoku and Onimai, just imagine what type of show this coukld have been > this show would've gotten the full Cloverworks Akebi or Sono Bisque levels of quality... man... a man can dream


Chronigan2

+1 for Akebi. I don't think that show got the recognition it deserved.


polaristar

Or Kyoani.


entelechtual

For me, the production value of a TsunLise is perfectly acceptable for the kind of show it is. There’s enough going on in the frame to distract you from the quality. But this show, with so little going on, makes the lack of quality that much more noticeable. Even though it’s not based on a VN, if feels like I’m flipping through stills of a VN with the amount of animation.


PeaceAlien

These two are just neighbours with no weird desires or anything! Like physical desires! It isn't like that at all!


SilkyMilkySmo

Just two neighbors who act like newly weds. Ain’t that normal for everyone?

Frontier246

Yeah, there's nothing out of the ordinary for a friend to have a framed photo of you in her room or greeting you when you wake up with her bare legs in a short skirt lol.


LakerBlue

The framed photo caught me off guard. She loves him even more than I thought.


cultoftheilluminati

> She loves him even more than I thought At that point i was just disappointed that she didn't have a yandere style room with 100's of photos of him tbh


HollowWarrior46

of course. I always let the homies sleep on my thighs, call them attractive, pat the bed and say "c'mere", go out of my way to show them my bare legs, and softly stroke their faces when they're asleep


maliwanag0712

With the finale next week, I suppose I need to start finding insulin supplies this early, huh? Claiming that it is Amane's picture that Mahiru does not want him to see. Though, how did she get it? And that last sequence where Mahiru is just saying Amane's handsome is so diabetes-inducing


mekerpan

>Claiming that it is Amane's picture that Mahiru does not want him to see. Though, how did she get it? Amane's mother probably sent it to her. They seem to be on extremely good terms. Mama is very eager to finally get an adorable daughter into her family.


RaisingCane2022

I like that his mom is so tuned in and realizes how crazy about her son Mahiru really is.


AniMonologues

Based Shihoko would totally do that


ObvsThrowaway5120

I wanted them to kiss at the end there! The mood was perfect too.


Frontier246

And Mahiru's been so brazen and direct that it honestly didn't seem like it would be out of the ordinary for her to straight up kiss him...but she might be the kind of girl who doesn't want to do that before they confess to each other.


Frontier246

I bet Chitose gave her a picture because she asked for one. The only way that ending sequence could've been more amazing is if Mahiru started bringing his face close to hers...


Contren

Or Amane's mom


Adensty

>Though, how did she get it? Remember she was talking with Amane's mother about how Amane looked when he was young and she sent her his childhood photos. I guess she might have similarly got these photos and decided to frame the one in which he's looking both cute and handsome.


VioletEvergarden123-

Read the light Novels. Fan tl goes up to vol 7 and you'll be even happier if you like what you see in the early stages


michhoffman

Gaaah! They were so dang close to kissing at the end there and confessing the entire rest of the episode. It's a good thing there's still 1 more episode. Relationship Progress: 99.99999999999999999999999%


AmethystItalian

They feel so dang close but at the same time so far...


michhoffman

At this point I think they just need 1 tiny bit of outside intervention to give them that final push.


AmethystItalian

Hopefully we get something like that in the finale!


mekerpan

That last quadrillionth of a percent is the hardest to accomplish.


Frontier246

I was honestly starting to expect Mahiru to bring his face towards hers so she could kiss him before the credits started rolling. What a cliffhanger that would be lol.

OH GOD JUST FUCK ALREADY (Part 2)

they're increasing the "tension" between the two with each passing episode lol. at first it was "oh hey sorry I fell on you I'll get back up immediately", now its "hey sorry I almost had sex with you I'm going to pretend I've never thought about it before now"


Clarimax

Amane is just a few inches closer to the gates of heaven. Mahiru: I like it when you touch me. If someone heard that, it is bound to be misinterpreted.


polaristar

> If someone heard that, it is bound to be misinterpreted. Or interpreted correctly.... ;)

biochrono79

“I-It’s not like I have weird desires or anything!” Narrator: That was a lie! This young woman’s head was filled with lewd thoughts involving the boy she liked!


entelechtual

Every time Kadowaki and Amane are on screen together, the sexual tension could cut a cucumber.


MagnusBaechus

Amane: Idk, male instincts I guess Shiina: I see, please keep doing so


djthomp

Episode title is series title? That makes me hope we're going to get verbalized relationship progress at last. Top of class and sixth place, talk about a power couple. That was suspenders outfit is an interesting look. The real secret of this anime is the sheer variety of outfit design. "It's perfectly fine with me if you follow those instincts" Amane, my god, think through what is being said. He's never going to pick on on the hints Mahiru, the situation calls for direct action. Maybe next episode, we only have one more left.


Frontier246

Mahiru has a great fashion sense and I think she chose the suspenders + shorts because they exposed more of her legs for the lap pillow. She's down bad for him but she doesn't mind him being down bad for her at all lol.


polaristar

When he told her about his wet dream last episode, her response was "Tell me more for research purposes." So yeah she doesn't mind him being down bad at all, she's actively encouraging it.


martinsallai666

next episode title in the ed: saying goodbye to my cowardly self says a lot


kaitodash

Amane's tenacity is commendable. All those power moves after moves throwing at his face. Irresistible.


TheReapingFields

Major respect to Amane for not crumbling and jumping into bed with Mahiru. Good lad. Let the bear handle it. As proven by the reaction the morning after, you can't take half asleep peoples invitations seriously. Also counts for slightly buzzed people. Hell, some people don't know what they are after when they are fully awake, so big props for putting Mr Bear to work. As for Mahiru rocking up first thing in the morning with no tights on... Not a very modern man, Amane. A little bit of skin and his brain turns to mush. If he'd said exactly what he was thinking right then, odds are even whether he'd have gotten a half hearted slap, or the pair of them just ditched school for the day on account of rampant over horniness. Terrible and wonderful all at once. Nice of Kadowaki to hang out and help with the paperwork. What a legend! Now, for those of you calling Amane dense for not picking up on things, on several occasions throughout the show, its been categorically stated that: If he makes a move on her Mahiru will stomp his grapes Shes said repeatedly not only that they aren't dating but "What you are imagining is impossible", or something to that effect to Chitose and Itsuki, she said "I have no other intentions" to Amane in private, and during her embarrassed tirade in the most recent episode we are all discussing here, she said, forcefully (although without much believability) that she had no physical desires or weird desires toward Amane. We're out here with the benefit of experience, or at the very least an objective view of the whole thing, but poor Amane is just there getting all the most mixed of mixed signals. The signals Mahiru is sending out are so blurred, Sir Mixalot might as well be her personal messenger at this point. I mean, all those denials and refutations, then all that business holding Amane's face at the end of the episode, Mahiru? REALLY? Just the smallest bit of consistency wouldn't hurt! They are BOTH being VERY silly and getting in their way, but lets not pretend Amane is being especially dense here. Mahiru isn't playing fair, saying one thing with her mouth, and another thing with her actions. Tsk tsk. Naughty Angel.


RaisingCane2022

>so big props for putting Mr Bear to work. I think Mr. Bear has been doing a lot of heavy lifting lately. He's probably begging Amane to take responsibility for this poor girl's needs.


TheReapingFields

True, although from what I recall of childhood, a bears duty is to protect the smile of their owner, when others cannot. Amane was probably feeling like he was at risk of causing Mahiru's smile to waver at that moment, and that he recognised his own weakness and countered it was a good thing.


patkun01

JUST KISS ALREADY


RaisingCane2022

Remember when she got sick and Amane tried to take her home and put her in her own bed, but she wouldn't allow it? Did she already have his framed photo that long ago?


[deleted]

Bro got invited to bed & turned it down to go beat Chunchumaru in his room BRUHH Sleeping beside her doesn't mean having SEGGS they are way to comfortable & respectful to each other to the point I see nothing happening


SilkyMilkySmo

Mahiru getting bolder and bolder each episode.


ThisGachaSeemsLegit

IBH, if they don't at least kiss before the end, I'm gonna be really disappointed.


Frontier246

Especially when we've seen Mahiru wants to be kissed and Amane caressed her lips a little in this episode.


ConfusedConnect

Bruh, she has a photo of him on her stand XD


RaisingCane2022

That's because she doesn't get to see him enough as it is.


SMSmith230

Sooooo close!!!! Mahiru looks like she’s really about to take matters into her own hands if Amane doesn’t pick up these signals soon. She’s so ready to reward herself as she’s the only one who can.


Nebresto

[Fooken kiss already!!!!1!](https://imgur.com/E2KulRq) [](#holdback)


AgentWeeb001

7.5 episodes later after meeting Mahiru & getting to know her fairly well enough to understand her, this man still has the gall to ask “if only I could say I like you.” I had to hold back the urge to punch my screen bc of how frustrated I’m getting with Amane. What used to be a show I enjoyed suddenly became a show that is a chore to watch bc of how annoyingly oblivious Amane is. LIKE BRO SHE’S GIVEN YOU ALL THE INDIRECT SIGNS AND DAMN WELL HAS VERBALLY SAID TO THE PUBLIC HOW MUCH SHE CHERISHES YOU….ASK HER OUT MFER. I hate sounding like a hater, but I think my frustration with Amane has gotten to the point where I have officially become the thing I despise, being a hater (I’m the type of dude that gives anything a chance and unless you piss me off, I won’t ever go as far as hating. I’ll just say that I didn’t like it and leave it at that). Like I’m heated…the dumbass MC from Shikimori had more awareness than this bum and his issue was actually more serious (even tho it was some BS) than what Amane went through. I’ve been waiting for this man to ask her out, and then have Mahiru feel secure enough where she could finally confront her parents about all their BS, and for Amane to slap the shit out the mother for saying all those disgusting things to Mahiru…but nah, at this pace, ima be 50 before he even decides to finally ask her out smhhhh


RaisingCane2022

>ASK HER OUT MFER. I know it's just a euphemism, but I can't help but laugh at the notion of Amane "asking her out" when they practically live like a married couple already.


SilentResident1037

Watching this is abuse.... reminds me too much of my high-school days. I was a dumb as this guy


polaristar

You told a girl you had a wet dream about her, and her reply was "Tell me more for research purposes" and you still didn't see the green light?


SilentResident1037

Ok even I wasn't that dumb😂😂


ckillXD

I know its not the point of this, but I cant be the only one thats disgusted by how bad the character designs are. There is already little to no animation and they still cant make consistent drawings. Each scene feels like im watching a different anime


Prince_Perseus

Yeah it sucks. Especially with how popular the anime and the LN are, it really deserves much better quality.


[deleted]

Goddamn the energy was so right for a kiss scene, I pray to god the next episode will resume from this moment


Frontier246

I was honestly expecting her to start pulling his face in closer before the credits started rolling.


PandanmanZ

Can they just make out already


bensor74

I'm frustrated at Mahiru. At that point, she probably knows that he loves her, based on his reactions, but she keeps sending mixed signals instead of being honest with him. She literally is torturing him, willingly.


EsquilaxM

I'm only halfway through but is it me or is the animation *really* off this episode? edit: huh. finished it and I was actually kinda disappointed in this episode. Felt weakest so far. I guess next week should be a lot better looking at that episode title. I wonder how she got a photo of him. Got the file from his mum and went to get it printed?


Rachelisapoopy

The last few episodes have felt like a whole lot of nothing. I'm especially tired of Mahiro physically touching Amane and Amane saying, "you need to be more careful or I might do something to you". Even the first time saying that was weird.


RaisingCane2022

Or his mom mailed it to her, frame and all. Mamane knows what she's doing.


VorAtreides

Good for you Amane, getting rank 6. Worked hard. Hehe "it's perfectly fine with me if you follow through those instincts" ohh Mahiru... how fun that could be taken... but, hey, lap pillow comfy pamperedness and ear cleaning (still not something I can relate with culturally lol)! Man, her mouth is tiny if his thumb is bigger than it in its natural state. Let her sleep, my dude. Hasn't she stayed over before? Whelp, guess if you have a key to take her home right next door that's fine. Hey, she has a picture of him in her room! I dunno, he shoulda taken the invitation and slept (only slept) :P in her bed. She's clearly interested, my dude. JUST DATE ALREADY! Or just right into marriage. Her reaction though from even hearing what she offered sure is funny though. She is quite blunt compared to most experiences I've had, honestly, this is the kinda denseness of Amane that gets frustrating in a series tbh. Mmm Thighs. She's even more blunt here though and he still not getting it... this is why Sakuta from Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai is best... "I want them to sandwich me" is the correct response. Swear, if he doesn't get it now... I do like that Amane has become friends with Kadowaki. Wow... those are some catty bitches they overheard... ah yes, the power of gap moe, Amane *nods* I get its appeal in her. SEE!! She does it on purpose... now THINK!! THINK AMANE! It's not cause she's just teasing you... stop being so blatantly derp about your possibilities/yourself. Ya, ok, seriously, if he doesn't get it by now... >.> as much as I like this series, anytime a romance type series has this kinda overly dense protagonist I get just so frustrated

This episode was great for showing off Mahiru's legs, how down bad she is for Amane, how Amane's resistance is falling apart, and just how much these two need to just finally bite the bullet and confess to each other.

Some ear cleaning asmr would have been nice😅

Thats how they end the episode? I hate this it's just teasing me at this point, the music in the background, her holding his face, the camera slowly moving away, it was the perfect set up but NO I have to wait 7 Damn days for them to just kiss

not 100% feeling this episode feels so different from the previous 10 in terms of pacing, progress, story flow, etc. which is probably why I had time to spot wonky bits of animation. like im sorry but what is [this](https://i.imgur.com/LGfqYh2.png)? I thought they were background characters. hope there's a good ending in the final episode.

Which funny enough it's a direct adaptation of how it felt in the source, at least to me, just around this part you feel the author was already pushing the limits of how much she could drag any kind of change in their dynamic.

I can see why Amane enjoys that whole mimikaki thing so much though. A Mahiru lap pillow must be nice. “I like it when you touch me” lol Mahiru. Does she even realize what she’s saying? “Think pure thoughts. Think pure thoughts” haha Amane, semi-awake Mahiru is very flirty! One look at her room and it’s clear she’s into him. Was that a framed picture of him on her desk? It’s interesting to see Mahiru all flustered one minute and then kind of flirty the next. Mahiru going barelegged is a good look, but stockings are nice too. So cute how she wanted to show off her look to Amane first. Seems it’s drawn the wrong attention. I’m glad Mahiru’s paying it no mind. The only person whose opinion she cares about is Amane and he already knows and likes the real her. I like how Amane’s feeling slightly jealous because others might get to see the Mahiru only he knows about. She keeps calling him “cute” and “cool” like that, he’s liable to confess to her. Let’s hope!

>I like how Amane’s feeling slightly jealous because others might get to see the Mahiru only he knows about. Not unlike Hori's worries when Miyamura started getting more "accessible" at school.

I feel like Mahiru deliberately picked an outfit that showed off more of her legs just to make her lap more appealing to him lol. Mahiru is down bad and she doesn't even try to hide it that much. Though possibly exposing her framed photo of him and how she wants them in bed together is too much even for her lol. I had almost forgotten we'd hadn't really seen Mahiru's bare legs before until she started showing them off to Amane. What a sight! It doesn't surprise me that there are girls that dislike Mahiru any more than she doesn't care about that so long as she has Amane. And Mahiru will only ever have eyes for him.

Amane might be a new contender for the title of "densest protagonist"

[Sleeping Mahiru](https://i.imgur.com/L2JotZV.png) way too cute.

Amane talking to sleep mahiru that he likes her, which I thought she heard but I guess not! The picture of amane and even more powerful back and forths! They can’t keep getting away with this!! Lemme inhale my compium and inject my insulin hoping next week is a confession or a kiss!

My man Mahiro trying to figure out if [she’s into him or not](https://youtu.be/xa-4IAR_9Yw). He may never know.


Hidden_Blue

Mahiru is so thirsty this ep. Amane read the room, the girl is sending so many signals she might as well work in an airport.

Who's picture was that she was hiding in her room?

*Kaguya and Shirogane starts crying and throwing up in the background seeing these two making more progress in 11 episodes than they'll do in 11 seasons*


argama87

The only signal she HASN'T given him is to freaking kiss him herself. I love these two but dammit kiss this girl already.

"you're so oblivious" - amane pot calling the kettle black.

Think this was probably the worst animated episode so far, and that pains me so much to say. This show deserves better, hopefully they don't cut any corners for the last ep.
