| Wow this was way too difficult to digest for me but oh well... Kazuya's pathetic behaviour aside, I can actually see some faint growth. Hopefully for the better in the future :/ |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| It had a few funny episodes, but I feel like this is starting to become unbearable to watch. At first I thought this show would be a "Dude, being an incel is bad. Don't do it" since Mizuhara put him in its place in the beginning, but now it's literally "Awn, he's stalking me. Kinda gross, but still kind of cute tehee". Seriously. No. |
 |
| lame stalker episode! prev episode was way miles better than this... 2/5. |
 |
| Kazuya jumping to conlcusions lol, but man, Chizuru's cute side was really shown in this episode, especially in the end. I couldn't ask for more |

| stand up stand up T̶a̶c̶h̶i̶a̶g̶a̶r̶i̶y̶o̶ for your girlfriend , kazuya becoming a less annoying character AND THAT THEME OF MIZUHARA OH GOD , all in all an average episode with a wholesome ending |
 |
This series could be called How to Say I am Sorry in Japanese. That is literally all the MC does in every episode. The best part of this series was long ago and now it is just a pity party and  |
 |
| why cant he be happy with rukaaa shes so adorable and hes already in market for a new girlfriend, plus ichinose doesnt seem to have ANY feelings for u m8... |
 |
| This is honestly the worst anime ever created |
| Not really a big fan of this episode. EXTREMELY CRINGY The dude jumped to conclusion so fast and proceeds to stalk them. Then imagines that girls are full of lust and always need sex... how insecure!!!! Then he reveals himself, and Chizuru and Umi didn't even get mad. I would've been completely mad. And to top it off, since I'm a 100% Ruka stan, this episode pretty much told me that "Keep dreaming buddy, but the canon girl here is Chizuru" I mean don't get me wrong, I have actually enjoyed this show so far, this episode could've been better, ESPECIALLY since it was a Christmas episode. |
| Did I forget to post this episode lol Anyways Kazuya being a full blown stalker xD |
 |
| I think this is the first time I've cringed watching an anime episode. |
For the brosss!!! |
| I actually paused it when he got exposed and started explaining his misunderstanding because of the sheer levels of cringe. It's still funny as heck to watch though. |
 |
| Damn, Ruka is being so pushy with Kazuya, it makes sense but if she were to lay it off a little bit, maybe Kazuya would actually start to love her. This ep is quite literally just Kazuya stalking Chizuru throughout the day during Christmas all the while acting like a creepy stalker. But alas, it was all a misunderstanding, ofc it is, Kazuya is a dumbass after all. It's so fucking cringy whenever he thought up those 'scenarios' in his head, he's pretty much thinking Chizuru as a dirty woman. Go back home and jerk yourself off and safe some troubles. |
  |
| I had to drop it here. The cringe was too much for me, even though I was looking forward to Sumi. Simp, I can tolerate, but Stalking is just way too cringy for me. |
| Just surprised that she didn’t totally obliterate him following her all that time. Anyway, sure he’s undeserving of her but you gotta feel even a little bit sorry for the dude. That said, I feel it kind of isn’t his character to not even a little bit appreciate that a cute girl has utterly fallen for him. Desperate guy like him should be ecstatic, even if she is on the more wild side |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Nothing new to add, very cringey episode, we hit a new low after episode 5. I really wanna like this but the raw mc materials are very lacking, and the story just accomodates his absurd flaws. |

Ruka needs to tone it down a little, but let's just give her the benefit of the doubt at this point. She's younger and it's her first time falling in love, so she doesn't always know yet what to do and what to don't. The stalking part was pretty bad, although there is a tiny bit of saving grace that he wanted to prevent Chizuru from getting exploited. But even that was a misunderstanding, and only happened after he had been following her around far too long. Not an episode with high re-watch value. |
| Uhh....what was that episode? It kind of felt like the little naggings I have with this show all combined into a single episode. It was filled with Kazuya's strange fantasies and wimpiness. I mean, literally, the dude stalked her all day. He even realized that he was creepy, and yet he blurted everything out and made himself look even more lame and gross! I cringed myself out of my seat at the scene in front of the Christmas tree, dude. It was that bad. Poor Ruka-chan is head-over-heels for Kazuya, who doesn't want to show her any affection. The poor girl is so new to having a real relationship; I hope she learns moderation and true love in the future. |
Ashyme said: Bro this episode so terrible i had to stop watching this show for the day to take a break from all the cringing i did Maybe the rumors that this first season only had 11 episodes, were true, and this one was just a bad dream? ;-) Takadono said: Uhh....what was that episode?

After the double date with Kuri, he also followed Ruka, even though she told him not too. Ruka is clearly overwhelmed by these new feelings, that Kazuya stirred up inside her. I also hope she learns to better deal with these emotions. |
| I literally can’t stand Kazuya holy fuck One of the worst MCs ever |
| How lame can this guy be.... seriously. |
| I found this to be the weakest episode so far. Basically, Kazuya is avoiding Ruka and then the rest of the episode is Kayuza stalking Chizuru and her actor classmate because he thinks they are dating. Kazuya was just crazy obsessive this episode too the point where it was just annoying and cringe. I liked the ending though. 2/5 |

| A misunderstanding episode that wasn't even hilarious, though the reveal that Chizuru's going to art school is at least a saving grace for this ep (so now we know her motives for working as a rental GF) |
| i felt so bad for Kazuya in the end when he said it was his first having a gorl gift him on christmas. But dang ruka-chan has taken the word 'clingy' to a whole other level... |
| Can't really blame Kazuya, but I also feel bad for Ruka. I hope Chizuru being an actress won't change anything. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Now i know why this episode get so much hate |
 |
| Honestly, I had to pause the episode when he tripped and startled Chizuru for a few minutes. Too fucking cringe. Like seriously, following them since the afternoon. It also pissed me off as if he was his real boyfriend and trying to "protect" her as if some stupid whiteknight. Still, it does kinda look like it was Chizuru's real boyfriend. It's good that she's is trying to aspire to become an actress. The rental thing maybe for practice for her acting skills as well as for the money. Surprised Chizuru wasn't angry as hell, but it does seem she is starting to develop "some" feelings to Kazuya. FUCK!! Why does these cute girls are falling for trash like Kazuya :\ So yeah, Kazuya is a bitch. Even sad how Ruka got left alone on this day. Lol at the PV. Long Titles such as "Time and Stop". When you watch too much JAV. You know what that means XD |
| Easily the worst episode of KanoKari. Although I gave this anime a 10, this one episode was just a pain to watch. Kazuya going stalker mode and he knows what he’s doing is wrong but keeps doing it. |
 I hope no one I know irl sees my secret account~ Anyways, do I look cute in this outfit?~ |
| Ruka has leitmotif lol Chizuru Ichinose looks genuinely cute with the glasses and hairclip. What are you doing Kazuya? Just gtf home So Chizuru is developing feelings after all? The gift she bought with Umi was intended for Kazuya and she seemed happy about it, and if Umi's just an acting school friend then the compatibility fortune might be for her and Kazuya, instead. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Episode was hard to watch. Kazu could have played this off easily as "Oh I just saw you and got shocked, so I fell", but as usual he's really bad at explaining situations away. Oh right, also the stalking. Also I feel like Ruka's eagerness to text is normal for someone just entering a relationship, but it's something you have to be firm to straighten out (which Kazuya isn't). It's the calls and the literally appearing at his school when there's no reply. That's awful. RUN KAZUYA! |
| If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| I wish she was dating that dude. It would bring me so much joy seeing that sissy boy have a mental breakdown. |
 |
| I have been having fun so far seeing this mess but this episode made it reaaaallllly hard for me to not bang my head on the desk. |
 |
| This might've been the hardest episode to watch so far... from Kazuya imagining stuff that's obviously wrong and follows her like the worst stalker of all times. To complaining about spending christmas alone when there is a hot and cute girl RIGHT THERE JUST WAITING FOR YOU TO CALL AND SPEND TIME WITH... For the whole episode there was only one thing I wanted to scream in his face: |
| LOL He is so lucky she likes him <3 |
| {\_/} (•~•) {\_/} ( •-•) {\_/} ( – _ -) |
| "oh my god it's so cringe I can't take it" everyone in this thread keeps saying the same damn thing. I've seen this exact setup in anime at least a dozen times and it's not "cringe"...it's boring. |
 |
| Yeah MC was not good this ep.. |
 |
| When Kazuya fell in front of the Christmas tree while stalking Mizuhara and Umi I about ascended into another realm. |
 |
| Man, Mizuhara being an actress kinda throws me off. I mean, it feels a bit sloppy to use being a rental girlfriend as some kind of acting practice. Like, any good-looking young actress who joins an agency would be warned to keep her distance from guys to avoid getting caught up in scandals. Unless they're already set on building a career based on talent rather than looks, going through something like being a rental girlfriend would definitely be seen as a shady part of their past… |
