| Seriously, sensei looks younger than most of the girls here lmao. Can’t even blame buff-sensei for being that down bad. Justice for him though, my guy was getting teased the whole episode lmaooooo. Anyways, something something “confession.” Yeah, in case you forgot, we’re not even halfway through the first season of this harem show... so them revealing Apollo already is kind of a shock. But being real for a second, it’ll probably end up being a cop out. |
 |
| Really good episode loved the idea of confessions via proxy it was a great success. I would be very surprised to see if Apollo was revealed am sure it will be just a tease. |
| Sensei best girl already as per usual! Love lemon chan! The proxy confession service was actually a really cool idea and it wouldn’t surprise me if that was just shinobu using the proxy service as an opportunity to confess to Yamabuki. We’ll see next week. “We can get scolded together” ahhh they’re so freaking cute 😍😍 |

honestly this episode was done a lot better then last weeks  |
| Lemon-sensei's switch-up is crazy. This proxy confession thing was so much fun. It's such a cool concept. And seeing the reactions of the students was funny. I wish it were longer. This episode confirms it. Shinobu is the best girl. Out of the 4 girls, I probably had the least expectations for her. But that's probably why she ended up making the best impact. Love to see it. But man, does she have an abusive mom or something? That sucks. She's such a good girl... That last confession really hits you in the feels. But how much of the confession was from Apollo and how much of it was from Shinobu? Does this mean we can definitively say Shinobu isn't Apollo? I don't think so. Even if she isn't, I still wanna support her the most. Yeah, I don't think Apollo would reveal herself in the next episode either. That'd destroy the whole premise of the show too fast. I guess Shinobu not being a potential candidate also means Apollo isn't multiple people but is one girl. My money's on Rikka. The voice from the can sounded the most like her. Anyway, can't wait for the next episode. I really loved this episode. I wish the animation quality were better. This anime could've been a huge hit if it were made by Cloverworks or something. But it's still really good. |
| Sensei definitely looks much more younger than the girls around LoL xD |
| A proxy confession sure was a curious idea. Lemon sounds like someone that can either be the hardest worker or the laziest depending on what she gets in return. The reactions of the ones that were confessed to though lol. If anything Shinobu is so earnest with her feelings. Still its gonna make things tense for the girls given their shared feelings for him. Another excellent ep. |

| This has been until now the best episode. I really liked the idea of the anonymous confessions. Lemon-chan is the best, I really like her. Uzuki has been hugging him so much, the reaction of the girls was funny. idk if she said "I went and said it" because it was HER confession or because it was about Yamabuki. I'm 100% sure the one who's talking with him is Rikka, the way she talks is identical. It can't be Iko because she talks more shyly. It can't be Nene because when she talks normally she sounds like worried, I mean, every tsundere sounds like that. And idk about Uzuki, I hope it is her though. |
| Mayonaka is the best ongoing of this season. |
| oop i thought they are never gonna reveal it untill all their dreams come true. but it still could be the case... gotta wait till the next ep |
 |
| I want to say that the Apollo girl is Uzuki but I think that would be too obvious.... but the way she broadcast that confession and the way she acted when Yamabuki caught up to her makes it appear that she's the one. Regardless it should be one of the 4 girls based on the text that he received and we might find out (hopefully) in the next episode. Beyond that I thought that this was a great episode and nice assist by Lemon even if she did it for her own benefit lol. |
| again and again, kudos to INSPION Edge for carrying this anime with their consistently 10/10 sound production and seiyuu performances. My ears are truly blessed. |

| Ngl I was expecting Lemon to receive a rogue confession at some point and was ready for that to be what ruins the operation lmao Shinobu may or may not've been soft-deconfirmed to be Apollo but I honestly don't care. Her partners-in-crime thing with Arisu is precious enough to be beyond that imo. |
| Honestly this shows really come into itself recently its actually really good for a anime which all things considered had a kinda dull start. Shinobu and Iko are definitely my favourites, I really can't say who Apollo might be honestly its completely possible maybe more than 1 of them are Apollo or hell maybe none of them are Apollo and later another girl will be introduced but hell I really don't have a clue. Refreshing to have another amazing mc like Arisu who isn't lame af. Feel like we've been getting better romance male mc's as of recently |
| The singer is the only one i see being apollo. The rest aren't mature or cool-headed enough to pull this round about method off. She was also the first one to whisper the magic words in his ear. I'd actually be surprised and happy if none of them were apollo and mc would have to choose between them and the real apollo after already putting so much time in these 4. Second closest is vice president who could of heard a friend press her to confess on the megaphone rather than it being someone else. |

| If anything, the production team kinda nerfed Best Gal Lemon a little bit, she was even more a loose cannon in the manga. I do think they did the proxy confession scene well. |

| @Ahohite-killer clearly more emotions in the manga, they also look cuter... the anime is not here to give what the characters deserves |

| This ep was hella fun, Lemon sensei is such a vibe i love her sm lmao. But more importantly are we seriously finding out who Apollo is next ep?!, I think i would've preferred the reveal if the proxy event didn't essentially remove Shinobu as Apollo's potential true identity. |
| Lemon-sensei is so good lol This episode was great, I'm trying not to be fooled by this cliffhanger, ofc they won't be showing who Apollo is so soon lol |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| I know I said I’d stop commenting on the production, but for this one I will because I wanna give credit to Gekkou for taking extra care of the impactful scenes in this one, they did a great job on them, definitely a big contrast to their other show today which dipped in quality. As for the episode itself, really nice part 2 of the sports festival and Shinobu’s arc, it seemed like the gang wouldn’t be able to pull off this proxy confessions event with several things getting in the way, like Samejima Sensei and the equipment malfunctioning, but thankfully they made it happen with the help of Lemon Sensei and Yamabuki, it turned out to a very fun event too. And speaking of Lemon, she had some hype behind her and she didn’t disappoint, I know the joke was that Samejima is easy to distract, but I’d find it hard to not melt into Lemon’s hands myself lol. And wow that Apollo confession scene tho, that was the good stuff, and Shinobu did a fantastic job delivering it. Now I do wanna say, I thought at first this weeded out Shinobu as a possible Apollo, but I actually don’t think it does, because while this is supposed to be proxy confessions, it doesn’t mean this instance necessarily was, this could’ve been straight from Shinobu’s heart or one of the girls in the dark room, so yeah Shinobu isn’t counted out yet even tho it seemed like she was at first. And the way the episode ended, are we really gonna learn who Apollo is in the next one? I kinda doubt it since we’re just halfway through, but hey it’s possible, but I was thinking that even if Apollo reveals herself, all the girls are starting to fall for Yamabuki anyway, so I don’t even know if Apollo would be the true winner or not, guess we’ll have to wait and see about that. |
| I hope Lemon-chan will also be involved in the main character's love interests, and the episode is excellent. |
| Surprisingly this was a solid episode. Of course without fail with the small amount of screen time, Nene made her annoyance known. Lemon-chan was funny and a true team player. Shinobu & Arisu, true partners in crime. |
 |
| So…undercooked…it’s basically raw. The voice lines are clearly being rushed, some of the shots show signs of being sped up slightly, Sameijima-sensei’s voice… I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn’t what we got, and not in a good way. I’ve noticed an interesting pattern. Nene so far has maintained all her visual gags like when she turns into a minimalist reaction, but Iko in non-cat form has been sorely lacking in her expressiveness, which results in one moment being really underperformed on. Man, two manga volumes pressed into five episodes; I’m…total let down. |

Reply to soul_snatcher854
is ts worth it? I've heard that the manga readers are not liking this adaptation that much, mainly due to how some iconic and important panels have been omitted, and the lack of expressive animation in some parts. I'm not a manga reader, would you guys recommend watching it?
| @soul_snatcher854 Honestly, I don't find the anime that bad, but if you haven't watched it yet, I recommend you read the manga instead. Watch the anime only if you don't want to read the manga. |
| Shinobu is so adorable in the episode and the apollo confession part was so unexpected idk if I'll wait for the next ep or jump into the manga now ! PEAK EPISODE !!! |
| ~iska |
| peak kanahana. lemon-chan best girl so far. i think lemon-chan is the Apollo. that's my head canon. still a chopped ass episode, but i think this is the best episode so far. 6/10 |

| @otakuweek Of course the manga will look better because that's the medium's forte, at emphasizing and exaggerating scenes and facial expressions more. |

| Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what the heck? I’m so confused. What is everyone even thinking in this anime? A confession by the fifth episode, when the anime ain't even halfway done? I definitely wasn’t prepared for that at all, haha. Goodness gracious. So, is it Shinobu after all? But if it really were her, why didn’t she actually confess when he came running to her in the hallway? And why didn’t the rest of the broadcasting club girls pass on the confessions they wanted Arisu to hear? Why was it only Shinobu? Either way, I can’t wait to find out who Apollo actually is in the next episode. From the bottom of my heart, I really hope this ain't just another one of the usual pranks of the girls. I don’t know whether it’s Shinobu or someone else, but I’m pretty sure it’s either Shinobu or Rikka. |
