| So cute! She professed her love and even gave him a kiss on the cheek. Although she's still denying her feelings lol. |
| How dare this show leave me with a big grin stuck on my face! And what more? That post-credit scene left it with a bigger one!! |
| ....This is why I don't like tsundere girls, why did Alya have to slap him like that after Kuze helped her with the soccer/baseball conflict and he told her he'd support her in her goal of becoming student council president? Well, the rest of the episode was okay. I wish Alya was able to show more competency as someone who was running for student council president instead of Kuze having to predictably step in to resolve the situation, but I guess it's a good way to show more of her development in the later episodes. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
So that concludes volume 1, adapted in 4 episodes like most LN adaptations do. |

| I think this will be at side of my favorite romcoms |

Decent, but we must get strong masha x mashachika shippers lesgoooooooooooo
| @KytoAnime Yeah I am still in the Masha x Mashachika camp myself. Alya feels underwhelming as a whole. She has great animation, but not much else i think. Also I agree... not enough Yuki this episode. |
| Did they ramp up the cheesiness in this episode? Felt like it. |
| I loved it. Alya is way too cute confessing her love in Russian! Also bonus points for Haruhi's ED, almost brought tears to my eyes and obviously i singed to it. |
 They have been waiting, waiting for so long.. they are gonna break the rules POWER FOR THE STRONG! BURSTING! BURSTING! BURSTING OUT! |
| The game was rigged from the start when it comes to Kuze joining the student council, the OP said it all, man couldn’t avoid his fate lol, and since Alya wants to become the president, I imagine a lot of the plot going forward will heavily involve the student council stuff, not the most excited about that but I’m sure it’ll be entertaining. And Kuze’s little save on Alya was nice to see, he knew just what to say to get the baseball bros to agree to move, the sex appeal cannot be denied lol, and of course there was also the insider info of the baseball player and soccer manager romance that helped. And afterward not only did Kuze agree to help Alya become president, he also took a massive slap to the face for thinking about that childhood crush, and moments later got a kiss on the cheek, Alya is a babe of many moods lol. And the after credits scene was cute with Alya getting flustered in the bed, and it’s not surprising Masha could tell what’s going on right away, maybe she’ll be a potential troll like Suou. And the ED this week was pretty nice, the girls’ outfits were cute, and it’s apparently used in Haruhi which of course I’ve known about for a very long time, I just never have sat down and watched it, a crime I know lol, it will happen one day. |
| That was great! Masachika finally decided to join the Student Council. Alya-chan still isn't being honest that she likes Masachika, ahaha. That kiss at the cheek tho. The ending song is HARE HARE YUKAI?! 🤯 That caught me off-guard. Really cool! :D I like the girls' boyish outfits in the ED visuals. And here I thought Haruhi Suzumiya would make a random cameo at the ED, haha! 😂 |
| Gotta respect the Prez's grind of changing himself, even if it wasn't because of a "good" reason. He did change for the better I'd say. Despite being reluctant about joining the student council, Masachika just went on with it anyways lol. Masachika telling Alya to take his hand feels like a bit of a cheesy scene lol. Wow, he does see himself as a rom-com protag too lmao. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| honestly, nothing too special happened this episode (aside from the confession, which he understood perfectly lolll) |
 |
I guess we're even now, huh? 🙏 (just kidding!) i love this series <3 by the way, the ED is great, it has pretty good animations and is relaxing. |

14:44 all according to keikaku
17:56 so he's aware he's a rom-com MC.
21:44 Literally confessed to him in russian and is still in denial stage lol how?
22:34 she's totally a tsundere now.
Ok Masha is rooting for Alya but also threatens to take him away if she takes too long basically at the end there.
WE GOT A HARE HARE YUKAI ED IN 2024! HARUHI FANS RISE UP! I'm kinda salty we didn't get to see the characters dance though.
We get to see the VA's dance though which is very cool.
Good episode. Only reason it's not a 10 though is because we didn't get more of the best sister Yuki. PLZ JUST GIVE ME 1 MY BROTHER! Well I guess seeing that Yuki Drip in the ed will have to do. We also got middle school Yuki too so at least something.
The student council president is a Chad, he completely changed himself to get his girlfriend and even planned to get Kuze in the student council. We got Alya confession in russian and tsudere style denial. Kuze finally in the student council now so maybe we'll finally see everyone interact now and maybe see the other 4th girl in the key visual? I also kinda want to see a student council dynamic like in Love is war.
Honestly though the President could have his whole own Rom-com story with how he changes himself to become a man worthy of his girlfriend. I wonder if we'll get a spinoff about him one day. AUTHOR PLZ!

| @Rexnihilo There is. It's covered in V4.5. They'll probably release it as an OVA eventually. |
| no fucking way did we get the ED from haruhi suzumiya! this show doesn't miss. but it felt too short to me, the kiss was cute and we love to see the realization haha. masha is right, alya better up her game. |

| Meh. Pretty bad episode compared to any of the previous ones. It feels like the author is good at writing comedic and lighthearted scenes, but sucks big time at crafting a good conflict and proper drama. For starters, the very long and excruciating scene with the school prez only provided 2 worthwhile bits. That he was a fat loser 2 years ago and that Kuze was part of the student council back in middle school, everything else (cept for Masha's fluff) was just long padding. Then there's the scene where Alya is meant to shine as the diplomat sent to deal with the baseball and soccer club problem about who's going to take dibs on the play field. Despite Alya being previously infodumped in the early episodes as being among the most reknown 3 girls in the school (top dog prima donnas), not a single character in that room acknowledged her presence, it's like she wasn't even there. Kuze had to jump in to save the situation turning the arrogant but smart heroine into a worthless damsel in distress. Her whole background story of regrets with her elementary school peers doesn't add up properly, it should had been used as a stepping stone for her current self, not to be a drag to her current self and her ambitious aspirations as being part of the student council. There's also the part where the sport jocks know that Kuze (the most unnimportant guy in school who sleeps between classes because he watches anime late night) was part of student council back in middle school and now somehow his words are more resonant in that room than the actual diplomat from the student council from their own school (it's terrible writing that only makes the main character being the most important person in that room for the most contrived reasons). His solution to the field dispute also feels very out of the left field because neither of these characters were properly established prior to this point. It's just cheap writing for the sake of making him act as a flawless problem solver. Last but not least, the slap scene feels also terribly contrived. Sure, Alya is a tsundere and she has provided good reasons in previous episodes to become physically abusive for good reasons, (like kicking Kuze when he was asked to help Alya put on her thighhighs and he saw her panties) but in here even if she's acting on pure jealousy the slap feels a bit forced and the outcome it's even far more contrived with Kuze just saying "I got xp as a man" and Alya didn't feel remorse or second thoughts on such unwarranted action. I get it that the slap was the foundation for the kiss on the cheek later on, but it still feels awfully forced. I just hope the next episodes get back more to the comedic hijinx like the first 3 episodes that were better written/executed. |

| Proposal and confession. 😆 Better Takagi-san series with different ED per episode! |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
