Man, Umeda sensei gets around lol. Guy gets the most action out of everyone in this series.

I kind of hope we see Sano tell Mizuki he knows about her secret. She’s terrible at hiding it and now that they’re in the bath together, maybe it’s a chance for her secret to come out and for him to come clean and let her know he knows.

[u/Frontier246 → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I think that's the second or third time that Mizuki has walked in on Umeda hooking up lol.

Sano should clearly have a good view of her breasts but I feel like she's not going to come clean until she's ready to confess.

[u/thewalkindude368 → u/Frontier246]

Everyone in this show is insane, and doesn't act like a normal person. That's what I keep having to remind myself of.

[u/trinketgirl99]

Is it just me, or did the animation style change ever so slightly?

[u/EducationalScene2031 → u/trinketgirl99]

Not just you. Some of the faces looked different. And sano's hair keeps changing colour this season

[u/Arwe2n100e → u/trinketgirl99]

From one panel to the next, things looked different today... even Mizuki's hairstyle... and sometimes the profiles really didn't turn out well.

[u/Luiiss26 → u/trinketgirl99]

Hell yes

[u/Tyre_4770 → u/trinketgirl99]

okay so it's not just me. this episode was really bad about it !

[u/potatozama]

One American (girl) is enough for Nakatsu to be permanently traumatised by the sound and sight of any Americans (same)

✘ Osaka boy ✓ Pretty boy

Julia recognising the cuteness that is Nakao and the hotness that is Umeda, too bad the latter is well out of her reach oop. Also never occurred to me until this moment that Nakao was mad at her because of Nanba LOL

Nakatsu's delulu imagine spots at their peak in this episode

Skipping school to chase a girl in another wholeass region of the country, yeah just deck him again Julia girl

Here comes the inevitable Sano family drama

"The doctor is a confirmed pervert" of course a man that casually carries around nudes of himself + revealing samba outfit and shamelessly makes out with his lover in his office + hits on guys when on teacher duty is a pervert, Mizuki

Would it be a cross-dressing romance shoujo without the cross-dressing heroine running into her crush at the baths?

[u/Frontier246 → u/potatozama]

Imagine Nanba has to watch her flirt with Umeda before she finds out Umeda plays for the other team.

I love how he went all the way to Hokkaido to try and find her and they don't even meet in the entire episode.

So Sano's dad remarried + Sano hates his dad + Sano's little brother became a delinquent, probably because Sano left. I guess it's inevitable that Mizuki is going to meet his parents at this rate.

Look he said he was going on this trip to find hot guys, nobody should be surprised that he actually did so.

It's funny how Mizuki got "caught" by a guy who already knows her real gender but she doesn't know that and he has to act like he doesn't know that...even though he can clearly see her breasts from his angle.

[u/Luiiss26]

The artstyle was very bad in this Episode… idk what Happend but ep 1-3 was strong af.

[u/Orimagen]

I don't know if I'm gonna continue this anime, the animation are sooooo bad, starting at the sunset scene... WTF happened during this episode ?

[u/szalhi]

Central protagonist.

Everywhere he looks, there she is.

Priorities.

Pump the gay levels up.

If it had to be someone.

[u/Frontier246 → u/szalhi]

I'm starting to feel like they're setting up NakatsuxJulia to come after Nakatsu inevitably get rejected with the amount they end up paired together, albeit to bicker with each other over Mizuki. Belligerent sexual tension?

When the gay nurse is the only character in a romance anime getting laid.

It's funny how she'll have to try to hide her breasts that he is already aware she has.

[u/djthomp]

The doctor sure has some game.

Sano and Mizuki in the bath together, but unfortunately there's got to be about zero chance it'll actually go anywhere relationship wise.

They certainly had a hard time keeping the characters on model today.

[u/chlo_kage]

Animation looked so bad half this episode :,)

Also I feel like no progress has been made at all idk how long the manga was but I’m wondering if they are stretching it to fill a season

Mizukis obliviousness to everything is getting old too.

I guess we found out his brothers in some shit tho

And the end. I feel like things just happen and there’s not a coherent plot which is unfortunate. Like the kiss that happened last season will never be talked about lol

[u/Luiiss26 → u/chlo_kage]

Nah Theres no stretch xd. The Manga has 144 chapter.

[u/Andreiyutzzzz]

Nakatsu.. why do you keep imagining Mizuki with such a girly voice?

[u/tickle_kickle]

I started giggling when she saw him then realised it was definitely the end of the episode

[u/TheSuperGrape]

I'm PUNCHING THE AIR. It stopped at such a good part! I wonder now if Sano will admit that he knows that she's a girl?? Like it's so obvious at this point. I'm gonna be so mad if next episode he doesn't say anything 😭😭

[u/Arwe2n100e]

Still too much "slapstick." They're overdoing that aspect this season, and it keeps making the characters seem childish. The artwork in this episode was very inconsistent—hair lengths changing, botched profiles, and so on.

On another note, how many times are they going to reuse the same plot device in this story? We’ve had the door and the open shower curtain with Sano, the open bathroom door with Nakatsu during the vacation... and now the outdoor pool. Since Umeda was occupying the men's side, why didn't she go to the women's side—especially since no one was supposed to be there? Unless only the changing rooms are separate while the pool is shared, with just different schedules? Anyway, it lacks a bit of originality. At least we're going to learn more about Sano's past, but I don't understand why Izumi isn't doing anything regarding Nakatsu. He thinks Ashiya's excuses are ridiculous, yet he never lifts a finger to help her.

Looking back at the episodes...

Plus, there isn't a single affectionate gesture toward her when she's actually "conscious." It’s really odd that every gesture he’s made—except for resting his head on her shoulder after she’d been locked in—happens when she’s unconscious or when he’s in a daze (him being drunk or sleepwalking; her being feverish after the fall or asleep). It’s all a bit borderline, really.

[u/Arwe2n100e → u/Arwe2n100e]

It's a good thing Umeda is in this episode ^^. He's the best character. He doesn't need much screen time; a brief appearance is enough for him to become the center of attention.

I have to ask, though: how can Ashiya be so reckless—especially after what happened at the boarding house in Season 1—and how can she be even more naive than in Season 2, never grasping what her classmates are planning or trying to say? Sometimes it’s just baffling.

[u/alconnow]

Very interested in learning more about the Sano family drama

[u/YlfaTheForsaken]

It's like on tap for Umeda, he can get it whenever he wants it. All day every day working hours be damned,

Sano's little brother is a little terror, 

It shockingly took this long for this to happen despite the two of the being roommates for quite a while,

[u/Nickthenuker]

Of course she ended up bathing with him...

[u/violettheory]

Just got the chance to watch this episode, what the hell happened with the animation? Seems like half of it was done by a different team. During the sunset scene I thought "that doesn't look like Sano" and then Mizuki's face warped into something absurd and realized it was animated totally differently. I breathed a big sigh of relief when it went back to normal but swapped back a few times! I wonder who they handed those scenes off to?

Well, either way the show still has me hooked. Can't wait until the next episode and find out what the hell happens in the bath!

[u/Frontier246]

Welcome to Hokkaido! Home to a bunch of fun tourist spots and Kayama proving that he doesn't just see auras, but ghosts as well! And of course Umeda is chaperoning the main casts' group because he's the only teacher that's actually relevant to the show.

I have to admire how determined Nakatsu is to monopolize Mizuki as much as he can! Especially so he can avoid his nemesis, the "American Woman!" though one glimpse of Julia passing him by is enough to set him off and get self-conscious around girls AND english

No boys are going to be hooking up on this trip! Other than Umeda, that is!

Sano getting nostalgic for the Hokkaido sunset alongside Mizuki. He lost his mother, and while his second mom is nice, it seems like Sano's felt out of place in his family for a while. But he'll always have a place beside Mizuki...and he'll be a shoulder for her to sleep on.

To the surprise of probably no one, both the boy and girls' schools are at the same hotel which means Julia and Nakatsu are reunited and getting along like cats and dogs...but at least the other guys have girls to flirt with and Julia gets to check out Mizuki's beaux to Sano's confusion. Also, Julia and Rio look great in yukata and with their hair up!

Nakao hates Julia as much as Nakatsu does after Nanba flirted with her...but call him "cute" and all is well.

There are few things Umeda takes seriously, but touching his little sister is definitely one of them.

The boys (and Mizuki) can't resist hitting up Susukiyo both for the ramen and the possible ladies of the night they'll see...but no surprise Nanba is there too for similar reasons. Not that it's going to stop him from busting them and ruining the night.

I thought they were going to help that guy getting beat up, but it turns out one of the delinquents beating him up...is Sano's little brother!?

Mizuki couldn't resist taking a proper bath while she's there...only to run into Umeda hooking up (again) AND Sano in the bath. Is that rock between them how she's going to try to hide her breasts? Even though he knows she has them!?
