Even taking into account that the writing for this series wasn't anything to write home about, I'm still a bit disappointed about Yaguchi's SAO rapist tier portrayal in the first half. I wanted to like his character, but that was just low and contrived. The day after he seemed like a somewhat "ok" guy.


I mean, that wasn't the worst here IMO.
It just took all credibility away when she agreed to have this dude coming to her house, like WTF!
Sorry but she was a dumb bitch here, there was no valid reason ever for she to accept, to bend to his shitty dumb intimidation...
Aside from that extremely forced plot device, it was an enjoyable episode in the later half, then again, if I was her, I would not even want to speak to that asshole ever again, that was attempted rape there no matter how you see it.

She said no and slapped his face and he still forced himself, he is clearly a scumbag that never truly showed himself to be sorry for anything, FUCK HIM.

She has always been a dumb bitch who can't say no.

I'm already cringing at this character already I hate his guts and to make it clear there are some people who are like this that exists in real life

I thought it would've gone worse at this point but Yoshida to the rescue I was about to lose all hope but damn he arrived on time Sayu was really scared back there and I feel so sad about that

At least this Yaguchi isn't your daily asshole who lets his dog shit in your front yard thank god he kept his promise at the end, Asami is really a good friend Sayu should rely on her more and build their relationship stronger.

I know that man is a piece of shit. He's blackmailing Sayu. How he talked to her, when they arrived in Yoshida's house, he just acted like it's his own house, what an asshole with no manners! And he tried to force himself upon Sayu. He is just a useless horndog animal through and through! Thank god Yoshida arrived just in the nick of time. If that prick stayed any longer I'm afraid my blood would boil till my head explode.

After confronted by Yoshida and Asami, he promised to not lay a hand on Sayu again, but I highly doubt it, being the prick he is.

Really, Yoshida is so kind, Someone like him are probably only 1%, no, maybe only 0,1% in the world, just like a super duper ultra rare gacha draw. And Sayu is so lucky to have many people looking after her. I hope things would get better for her soon.

Yoshida and Asami truly are a blessing in Sayu's life. Kyouya on the other hand is a disgusting person for forcing himself on underage Sayu there, well at least he's honest which the police'll definitely appreciate

I simply can't sympathize with Sayu. Dumb as f. It has been so much time since I didn't like a character like her. Gotou and Mishima has so much to show and just because of that I still have will to watch this show.
English learner. Sorry for my mistakes and make yourself at ease to correct me.

Say what you want about Yaguchi, I like the guy. Knows what he wants, doesn't virtue signal, tells the straightforward truth. I ship him with best girl, my hot gyaru Asami--yabai!

I'm lowering score to 7. I dislike the main girl more and more as time goes on.

honestly, he might be one of the most interesting characters in the series thus far. The juxtaposition between those two scenes gives him depth, while the rest of the cast is frustratingly one-dimensional.

Yep--I like him

Did not like the fact that a guy from her past forced himself on her. But the people that care about her were there for her and they protected her

Awful.

(i) I am unable to suspend disbelief.

(ii) I hope Sayu stays connected with Asami.



(iii) Don't get isolated by an abuser people.

I really hate scenes like that. I'm glad nothing bad happened though, Yoshida came home just in time. Hopefully things continue working out for them.

W to Yoshida for coming in clutch. I would love to see that guy get a 1 2 combo to the face, but at least Sayu is safe.

Good god Yaguchi is awful, trying to force himself upon Sayu like that. Thought there was something up there. Never quite thought it'd be him though, from the beginning of the other episode. Good thing Yoshida was there to step in and save her.

Asami is already proving to be an excellent character, being there for Sayu, protecting her, and such. Oh and a trip stargazing is always a good one.

Seems like this episode is a pretty major turning point for the show, should be pretty interesting to see what happens now.

I'd like to say: "Death Penalty to the ugly bastards!"

Just when Sayu is finally getting better, an ugly bastard shows up.

Thankfully, MC is there for her as a guardian. 😭😭😭

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.

In my life I have watched a regular amount of hentai anime, I want to make that clear before I say that I felt a bit of satisfaction when Yoshida interrupted Yaguchi at that moment when he was about to commit the act as finally this kind of guy, living his life as an H protagonist, failed to deliver, which is something I have yet to see in any of the anime of this genre.

By the way, I know the guy is cruel for ruining Sayu's life, but at least I don't feel like he makes himself hated like other villains in other anime I've seen (Like the ones in “Redo of Healer” anime).

Now that our protagonist is past that bad time, I don't think Yaguchi will be as relevant to the plot again, which I guess is logical since a lot of people wouldn't like to see a young man with a twisted fornicator boy mentality on screen. :(

[Or at least this kind of guy does not work in other anime apart from those in which they are protagonists...].
I tried to post in Spanish — the mods were not amused.
“English only, thank you.” Okay. So much for being used.
“Just copy-paste and click,” they smile, like that will make it right,
But language gates aren’t freedom — they're censorship in white.

How did i manage to erase from memory the first half of this episode during those 4 years and a half is... unbelievable. Good, at the end, that the guy won't talk about the entire runaway thing but screw him for everything done and attempted before, Yoshida acted like a saint at the moment of throwing him out, for the words he told him, and also for the ones to Sayu later on. Asami is great too and that stargazing scene was no exception. Not hiding this again, i felt emotional halfway through and at the end of this episode even despite some already known plot inconsistencies.
