Good Episode and next week we have Kana Hanazawa as Lemon.
Nene: "Um, my name is Nene..."
Lemon-chan: "That is clearly what I said. Miku, how is the sound set up?"
Shinobu: "My name is actually Shinobu..."
She's cute, a compassionate go-getter, has a great flustered face, has a lovely Miku Ito voice, she's "naughty" in a really adorable way, and the camera loves her bare legs and how tight her skirt fits over her waist.
What's not to love?
>Good Episode and next week we have Kana Hanazawa as Lemon.
It wouldn't be a Masakuni Igarashi anime adaption without HanaKana.
She's gone from the girl in the Harem Romcom to the only adult in the Harem Romcom.
Let’s see how this Messenger event goes. I’m sure Lemon-chan isn’t gonna get it canceled.
Winning girls' hearts but not winning competitions...the sacrifices Yamabuki must make for the sake of his own romcom...
Also convenience. For the most part things are released on time and I can just watch it on my tv through the app.
To get that with out cr, I'd have to setup and maintain a whole arr stack or manually download things. It's nice to just use a remote to browse through things to watch.
Shinobu is really popular and beloved by the school, maybe a little TOO much, because everyone brings their problems to her expecting her to solve them and she can't tell them no. And this is just adding to all the work she has to do for the broadcasting club who, as it turns out, are SUPER busy on Sports Day. And she ends up taking even MORE responsibilities as a result. Is Shinobu going to be okay?
(I'm only mildly disappointed they didn't go with Nene's maid cafe idea)
Count on the great Yamabuki to not only give Shinobu a kabedon (which she doesn't seem to hate) but also notice how she's not at 100% and even gift her a cough drop in the process. He can tell she's running herself ragged because he's always paying attention to her...which is enough to make any girl self-conscious in a cute way.
How does Shinobu unwind? Why by doing work and snacking against school rules in the library! Yamabuki was THIS close to getting fed chocolate by her, the lucky sonuvagun!
Shinobu wants everyone to think she's the perfect model student who can do anything because she enjoys the attention and admiration, but deep down she thinks herself less capable and less impressive compared to her fellow broadcast club girls (even though all the girls kind of drop the ball if Shinobu isn't there to keep things together). In fact she thinks her only recourse is to support the other girls and eventually leave the club to study if she really intends to be a broadcaster.
But it's time for Shinobu to believe in the Shinobu that Yamabuki believes in! The one he's willing to assist and support she can achieve EVERYTHING she wants! If it means becoming her partner-in-crime and breaking the Yamabuki's code of honor in the process, he'll do it! They even have their own little code too!
I can see why the broadcast club is so busy when they have to participate in Sports Day events AND do their broadcasting job, but luckily they've got Yamabuki pinch-hitting and touting how awesome he and all the events are.
And don't think he isn't getting into romcom shenanigans in the process! Rikka and Iko end up needing him for the treasure hunt and Yamabuki ends up holding hands AND carrying them princess/piggyback style...only to not win. But I guess Rikka and Iko won in the end anyways, even if neither of them are willing to admit the reason Yamabuki was their target.
Then it's the cavalry battle with Yamabuki playing Shinobu's solo horse, and sitting on a guys' shoulder in public is SUPER embarassing, but it's Nene who distracts Yamabuki with the remembrance of the kiss that didn't happen that secures yet another shocking Yamabuki defeat. Though Nene being concerned about Yamabuki and Shinobu's sudden closeness delivers her a loss too.
Shinobu's big plan is a proxy confession service, where the girls will confess for others! Shinobu wants this big event that she thinks will bring the whole school together, though it probably wouldn't fly with the faculty when relationships between students is frowned upon. Especially when they have to worry about their infamous club advisor, Lemon-chan (Kana Hanazawa!)!
If Rikka, Nene, Iko and Shinobu were to confess anonymously, Yamabuki could be overloaded by thoughts of Apollo.
Edit: Full version of ending theme song has been released earlier today.
Love how we got a taste of each member showing their appreciation or affection in their own ways but Uzuki and Yamabuki's secret "chocolate bar munch" signal is freakin' adorable.
Partners-in-crime have never looked cuter together.

I'm not even surprised that Shinobu is the type of person [who tries to take on too much on her own.](https://i.imgur.com/BbTFFZ7.jpeg) Also, I forgot that she's only the Vice President of the Student Council. I don't think we've met the President yet.
[Shinobu and Yamabuki's little moment in the library](https://i.imgur.com/GphWwqX.jpeg) was pretty cute. I do find it interesting that [she wants to be on the sidelines](https://i.imgur.com/ZVpqhjZ.jpeg) supporting others instead of being a star. I still think that she might be Apollo, but would someone like her just be satisfied with being the support role? Hmmm...
It's funny how they just sometimes [draw Kirino as a white catblob.](https://i.imgur.com/dyaKSn5.jpeg) They never do this with anyone else in the show, [except for her.](https://i.imgur.com/SneSPIY.jpeg) xD
The sports festival was fun, especially since the broadcasting club had to [participate in the games](https://i.imgur.com/KbWzGNM.jpeg) and [comentate it themselves.](https://i.imgur.com/2GVAASL.jpeg) Yamabuki immediately running to the mic to commentate on his win was hilarious! xD
[We finally get to meet their club advisor!](https://i.imgur.com/HUlB9iR.jpeg) What's funny about her being voiced by HanaKana is that she looks like HanaKana IRL, too. I can't wait to see more of her next week!
I wonder if part of the reason Shinobu is a perpetual VP of both the student council and the broadcast club is because she doesn't think she deserves to stand out? I can see her deferring to Rikka because of that.
She needs to have more confidence in herself, especially if she's going to be an anchor because that'll mean having her beautiful smiling face front-and-center constantly.
Honestly Yamabuki made sports day more epic than it had any right to be lol.
Considering HanaKana has been the Heroine of all the authors' previous anime adaptions, you can't tell me they didn't deliberately set up a HanaKana character for her to voice lol.
Did she use those as placeholders and forget to remove them?
She seems rather busy.
And so suggestions for the festival.
What's he in such a rush for?
What's that?
Oh fair enough yeah those Pei Pa Koa lozenges were an absolute lifesaver while carolling constantly day in day out back in December.
Have fun with her?
Lol.
I mean it's not good for her either, chocolate is bad for your voice.
And so he's going to help her with her work.
So, this year they can't afford to mess up.
So, that's her plan.
Damn they're busy with the sports festival.
Lol he immediately disappeared.
I want them to sandwich me.
Huh. Ok then.
Oh they actually have a teacher in charge.
Yamabuki can be a bit much at times -- but then he can be a loveable goofball at others.
I'M BUYING ALL THE STOCKS
[](#NEEDIT)
(That would be a bit of a kick in the nuts for everyone rooting for any of the main 4, but still funny!)
It is so nice having a harem protag who is fun and interesting and you can see why the girls would fall for him. Especially when the girls all have distinct personalities. Inohana is my favorite because I am a sucker for brunettes and singers and she's both, plus her design in general is so comfy. Still a little sad her first section was only a half episode but we'll see if she gets another at least half episode to make up for it later.
Yamabuki's sincerity under all that bluster works so well here as he's trying to break through Uzuki's defenses, and it is surprisingly effective. When she was trying to feed him the chocolate I was surprised she became so forward so fast. For a sec when the pocky came out I wondered if she would tease him with the pocky game, since we already had one girl kiss him (through a manga volume).

I get that it's frustrating but it really messes up discussion for those shows. One comment thread would entirely suffice.
Yamabuki doing [own commentary](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/f6da02bf0513.jpg) after winning [the said race](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/61dd401ad2db.jpg) is so stupid and hilarious to watch lol.
Shinobu is such a [cutie](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/4aec4eae3d8a.jpg). ['Kabedon'](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/93a156b1049b.jpg) is really powerful, eh since Shinobu doesn't intend to push or dodge him when he approaches her.
This really show that Yamabuki not gonna let girls [dragging him around](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/63679b25de6b.jpg) instead he's the one who will [carry them](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/046f832f923c.jpg). What a perfect ~~harem~~ male lead!
As expected of Yamabuki! Even if his cavalry members can't participate, that's not gonna stop him. Losing by default is not an option for him. He can handle being a [horse for Shinobu](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/bde3971648df.png) on his own. Most boys sure want to be in his position lol and he's no even flustered nor ashamed when doing it but [not for Shinobu](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/1f8cf885f340.jpg) though.
[Lemon-sensei ](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/2d8bcedad7e2.jpg)sure looks ~~young~~ tasty
They're all so wholesome and fun.
(thought he admits "I couldn't fully become a horse")
Also his cries of "CURSES" when he loses is hilarious.
[](#cup4)
We were blessed with catblob Iko twice that I noticed, I'm glad they haven't dropped that gag.
No Apollo lines from Shinobu in her focus episode, I think that still leaves Rikka as the only one we've seen that from.

[Oh wait, no she does not like it!](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/bef94ad0baae.png)

[Okay I'm gonna call you Hanakana.](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/c2655f500686.png)
[](#urbansmile)
(For some reason I thought I remembered her VA would be Ai Fairouz, but Hanakana's my #2 so next best thing!)
I love Arisu & Shinobu's chemistry. I love their eating handshake.
It was necessary for Arisu to kabedon Shinobu to give her a cough drop.
Of course Shinobu had to eat an Apollo chocolate.
I love how Arisu promised to keep Shinobu's secret to eating some of her snacks to confirm they are partners in crime.
I'm surprised Arisu & Shinobu were allowed to participate as a 2 man cavalry team.
If only Nene didn't gain 3 kilos in a month, she'd be the rider to avoid Arisu & might have a winning chance but she'd still be distracted by Arisu & Shinobu's closeness.
I hope Arisu helps the girls win at least 1 event since the only one he won was a foot race by himself.
There were also wrods like "Kimo! Dasa!" Translated as "Cringe" when those are two separate words. It would be "Gross! Lame!" The Japanese word actually have an actual word in their slang dictionary for "Cringe" which originally was "kikuwa" though I think the slang word got updated recently to something else. But Kimo! and Dasai! don't mean cringe.
There is also Yamabuki making a few puns about him being number 1. But they are a bit difficult to explain in English. There isn't really an English equivalent for the direct translation to some of the puns Yamabuki made due to some cultural differences, but what's sad is that Crunchyroll didn't even try to find an English replacement and just totally missed the puns.
Vice prez is by far my favorite girl
It takes special skills to [spit-take](https://files.catbox.moe/1sneua.jpg) without even drinking anything [](#cokemasterrace)
Genuinely the one and only time I've ever seen [this proposed](https://files.catbox.moe/ur2j0w.jpg) as a festival activity [](#neat)
