If the status quo didn't change, then these 12 episodes meant nothing. The "love game" is over. Now it's genuine love, whether they continue the game or not, he knows how he feels now, she knows how she feels now, and they may know what each other feels now. Add to it how everybody else in class knows about them now, and you have a new status quo. That's just how storytelling works. Everything is different at the end than it was at the beginning, even if some of the differences are more subtle than others

The "love game" is over. Not yet. They are still using the game as their mask. So that part of the dynamic hasn't yet changed. Now it's genuine love I think the love was geniune before from being childhood friends for years, just more intensified from other experiences they had together now. whether they continue the game or not, he knows how he feels now, she knows how she feels now Yep, that's what I mean is that their feelings have intensified from their experiences. and they may know what each other feels now. As you said, "may" - so they aren't completely sure of this since they still second guess themselves out of their own insecurity. They haven't quite outright said it to confirm what they do "know" at this point for the status of their current dynamic. This is the type of story that is about the journey , not just the destination .

All in all, a pretty fun rom com even if I was practically begging them to get together every ep haha. Me too, it was a little frustrating but still so fun. I understand some people's complaints about the slowburn... but for me, at least there were no resets! I forgot which show I watched where they basically reset the relationship at one point, but I dropped it right then. Ever since that, I've been fine with the slowburns.

It ended as it started. Very sweet and cute, Wakana being so over it (I had missed Wakana roasting them), Hinako asking why it's taking so long, and her uncle saying that they'll figure it out eventually, but we'll watch them struggle while they do. It was a fun ride. They both have good banter. It also wasn't just them either. Kazane confessed to her childhood friend as well so that was great too. Though she might have been too enthusiastic lol. Great finale. Like ever other romance show I watched this season I want a season 2, but it will likely not get one because it wasn't announced immediately. I guess this yet another "read the source" series.

I don't want to end this love game... quite yet! Hopefully we get a season 2! I loved this episode since it showed that the girls absolutely love that they're a couple and will keep teasing them. Akane's even telling her to get Yukiya officially, or he might! And it's working! She's being pushed to Yukiya more! Thanks Nacchan for your suggestion to make red bean paste and icea cream! Now look at Miku and Yukiya. They're flirting while preparing to eat some very nice sweets! Even eating each other's mocchi in a cute way! Miku has inspired Kazane to pursue Kakeru in a very cute love game too! So cute! Yes Kazane, you are the cutest girl in Kakeru's eyes for sure! Just be careful of that power, ok? Hinako's right that it's frustrating that progress is kind of slow. But it's great to see a romcom so close and personal, so she's not going to interrupt it too much. Besides, Masaru is right. It's their youth to enjoy! And now they're making flowers for her grandma. So cute. The Hydrengeas. But what's even cuter is that Yukia says he wants to be part of Miku's family! Ending the game with an I Love You (Aishiteru)... the game continues. But I'm sure we'll get a season 2!

I think the main issue with doing a romcom that focuses so much on the flirting like this one does is that eventually you gotta pay it off, otherwise it's a whole lotta edging without finishing Which is kinda what happens in a single season romcom that probably isn't getting a sequel Kaguya (the clear influence here) gets away with it by focusing more on the jokes so the punchlines are the climax This one's trying to be more earnest so it's all about the flirting. Also doesn't help that this was I think one of only two romance anime this season without a confession Which is ironic, because the cuddle and pocky kiss were steamier and more intimate than anything in the other shows I do generally like the show overall, mainly because of the leads, but the love game format is made to be read in a single manga chapter, not a bunch all stitched together. That just makes it feel like it's running in place

Miku discovering new levels of down bad to start this episode. And... and then she catches him lipping the second pink one. Jesus my dude. Find God. I do love a good audience insert in this sort of show. Poor waitress is so tired of foreplay. Meanwhile I seem to be suffering from brain freeze, wtf is SPO**N ? What a cute show. No instant season 2 announcement based on the subreddit, so interesting they still set up the sports festival but the anime may never get there. Still I'm glad I took the time to watch it.

They're taking forever! They're obviously in love with each other. Why are they taking so long? Supremely disappointed that this series didn't end with all of the side characters ganging up to force these two idiots to end their love game. Kidding aside, this show was vanilla as hell with one steamy poky scene and not much else. I did get get a laugh from the scene where Nacchan's getting an explanation on Miku's make out moments. This show needed the side characters to get more time on screen to bring out the humor in the show. I get that there's a group of people who revel in the teasing aspect of this show, the pining over each other but never going too far because they'd break a rule. I respect you all and am glad this show delivered. But I can't take the level of frustration a show like this induces. I need things to happen. I need characters to act at least somewhat intelligently at some point in time. This show felt low budget. Lots and lots of flashbacks, long establishing shots, weird 3D stuff, and character models that were hard to differentiate other than having a different hair color or having a hairpin. The color choice of pastel pink pastel green and white, white, white made the whole thing feel like a fever dream. I thought the VA team did well with what they had to work with. Both the opening credits and closing credits had good songs and I was okay with the soundtrack. My significant other hated this show. I didn't but I'm noping out of a second season if it arrives. Godspeed, lovers of the tease. Favorite scene in the show: Miku picking out poky nervously like she's buying condoms. Imagine if this show got popular and, to prevent teenagers from making out too much, they had to lock them behind a counter next to the cigarettes.

Well I stuck it out. But I don’t have many nice things to say about this show. It wasn’t cute and charming enough to carry what amounted to a lot of going nowhere filler. The drama of episode 11 felt like it needed more build up and then it went back to status quo so was mostly meaningless. For the first half I was pretty much “just fuck already” and by the second half I was hoping one of them would move on and it could redeem itself into a show about missed opportunities.

I originally thought this would be more like "Uzaki-chan wa asobitai!", because of the café-setting. BOY, was I wrong! The café barely even mattered. Well...Love Is War was second on my list of comparisons, but in that case, the other characters don't matter enough. LIW's student council alone has 4 characters and there are some characters beyond that that are relevant to the story. As far as Love Game is concerned, there are barely even other characters involved. While I was looking forward to the reaction of Miku's female friends, seeing the textbook-reactions of the male classmates kind of ruined the scene. In a way, the most relevant character aside from the two main characters is the student council president. Without her, Miku might not have pressured herself into trying the Pocky-game.

This episode brought to you by the Ministry of Japanese Culture and Sweets, and the Pokitto fairy granny monster. All of us, every Tuesday I'll miss this weekly dose of sugar/cuteness/youthfulness. It was my clear 3rd favorite this season (out of a lot), after Botan and Kirio Fan Club . There's something to be said for this kind of show, like Pseudo Harem , and I'm not sure what'll fill this gap for me next season. (I'm really looking forward to Polar Opposites S2 but I view it as a slightly different kind of show.)
