灰原くんの強くて青春ニューゲーム

Uta’s effort must have really did paid off for him to think about as an option. It’s a battle of not wanting to turn down some Ron so sweet and has been very foward and affectionate towards you VERSIS not wanting to turn the course of your original crush now that you know more about her. Then there’s Miori, someone who was a long Natsuki as an option, and is now feeling jealousy over him getting actual points with a girl.

I think I'm satisfied with Hoshimiya finally having her arc, first staying the night with Natsuki, her interactions with him and his sister, recognising and appreciating the parallel between herself and Natsuki, and fully standing up to her father. Now it makes sense why Hoshimiya contacted Natsuki early in the season regarding Tatsuya's jealousy; she could relate, which did suprise me. Looks like the love triangle is finally being recognised by Natsuki, and its clear he likes both Hoshimiya and Uta, Uta likes him, Uta knows he likes someone else, and possibly Hoshimiya recognises he likes Uta, at best Hoshmiya know he likes someone else also. Ultimately, these last few episodes are going to tackle this, with the next episode seeming like a follow-up to the scene in the opening with the fireworks at the beach. I do think we still need to address Miori's feelings after she saw Uta kiss Natsuki, and I'm still waiting for Natsuki to join the school band; I want to see our boy shred

Honestly biggest twist of the series was the fact that even Hikari was turned-off by "cool hot guy" Natsuki in the first few episodes. Despite getting along with him it was probably just "acting" and not her genuinely being interested, because she only started liking him when she realized they were the same and seeing his true self. Would Hikari hold herself back from pursuing something with Natsuki so as to not upset Uta?

I think Hoshimiya might hold herself back, although Uta is still willing to pursue Natsuki despite recognising his feelings for someone else. If anything, Hoshimiya shouldn't hold herself back, otherwise that would go completely against this arc for her: Old Her definitely would hold back as she herself explained, Current Her shouldn't and desrves to make herself happy, ultimately the choice comes down to Natsuki. When it comes to love triangles, I hope they avoid the cliche of one girl pushing Natsuki to the other, only for Natsuki to choose the other later on. His culmination better be manning up and properly choosing one

Although the character design this episode a bit hit-or-miss , it never failed to deliver at the right moment , eh (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵) Hikari's hikaris "sugoi dekai" ?! Pretty daring of Hikari to not just sleep together with Natsuki in same room (instead of in his sis room), telling she likes him as friend with a little pause, wake him up with glasses "megane" (supposely her real self), not locking the door while changing , cleaned herself first, and teasing each other on same bed...Gotta say, she's totally making up all the points to catch up to Uta, eh... That's .... so considerate of her *Bonk* Natsuki just upgrade from being light novel protagonist to eroge protagonist by his lil sis lol. Daddy takes 100 damage ...

I always find the humor of breaking the fourth wall funny; it's not like Natsuki said it, his sister also decided to say it, lol. This had already been highlighted in the previous episode, but it was only when Hikari said it that I realized how similar her and Natsuki's paths were up to high school, with the difference that she sought to recognize that she couldn't be perfect, or rather, that she shouldn't be ashamed of what she went through to get to that point. That's the kind of development and maturity that, for someone her age, is sensational. Well, although the conclusion wasn't clear, I imagine Hikari will resolve things with her father, and her honesty in admitting that she doesn't like him was perhaps what made him realize that he only had more to lose in this situation.

Hikari is a good friend to natsuki, can't imagine as his girlfriend while Uta and miori looks much better. Hikari have no possessiveness or attachment. When other girls interact romantic with natsuki, Hikari don't care or nothing. Its sad at end ,this mc gonna fall over her completely by 2-3 scenes were other fmc are much better as couple. Hosimiya and natsuki dynamic are good friends. I want miori or Uta to win this hopefully.

Thought the little sister was being a real one for offering her bed until she dropped "because of the noises" lmao. She was still being a real one! She didn't want to be a bother while her brother sealed the deal lol. Good for Uta to have a non-zero fighting chance after all. Honestly getting acknowledged that he likes her as much as he likes Hikari is more than most love rivals get. Especially considering how much he held onto his feelings for Hikari across two timelines.

And here we finally have our pro-Hikari episode. It seems more than likely than the rejection the first time around was more about her father’s restriction than it was not being attracted to Haibara (especially since she would know he was like her once with the nerdy image). And now, it seems we are getting to our official 2 girl battle with her and Uta soon, with Miori needing to step up and admit her feelings to guy and not shoot him away constantly (which can happen of she seems him hanging out with more girls).

I think this definitely puts to bed the idea that she rejected him because he wasn't conventionally attractive. She never would have cared about that because she was the same way back when she was a kid. She didn't even seem to actually like the version of him that was trying to act cool in the earlier episodes. I'm curious how Hikari is going to act now. I think she is slowly falling for Natsuki, and finds him attractive, but she's never felt that way about someone and she also has to consider Uta's feelings. And then there's Miori who probably none of them except Reita might see coming.

Okay, fine, I get it, your father raised you like this, so it's logical you don't know a different way to raise your daughter. You had an example and followed it becauze it worked for YOU. But no matter what you say before or after "My dad did the same thing, so it's okay", you're still a terrible parent. And you know what? I have met parents like this, and for Hikari's own wellbeing in the future, I hope she cuts ties with him when she's living her own life. Emotional abuse and overbearing control is no joke

considering how chain hikari felt is no wonder we saw so little of her in the early episodes but this really did close the distance between her and natsuki. and help her come more into her own and probably explain the first time line rejection since she her self said she didn't like natsuki at first I wonder what natsuki will do cause he obviously like hikari but has now admit to liking uta. and there miori feelings in the mix

part of me is still a bit convinced hikari is also a time traveller like natsuki, but considering how tied down she was it make sense why she put up the act in the first place and why she was putting so much distance between natsuki and even the rest of them. not only to please her father but to also keep some distance from natsuki who is a reminder of what she herself is doing. and to prevent herself from feeling upset when her father would take it away glad she able to stand up to her father and find her voice and grow to understand natsuki better and vice versa it ironic even though natsuki is struggling between her and uta the girl who has the most attention is hikari and miori don't get me wrong uta is still swinging strong against natsuki but consider with what happened this arc and there past life and miori being his sign post this life uta has some ground to make up

Hoshimiya did a great job standing up to her father and I think she really got him by saying that she and her mom didn't love him. I wonder if he'll reflect on that since he's a very arrogant domineering man, Either way, Hoshimiya can do what she wants after she's done with high school and Haibara really helped her a lot. I wonder how Hoshimiya turned out in the other timeline, like maybe she never did stand up to him. I definitely think Hoshimiya was lying when she said she didn't like Haibara at first. She immediately took a pic with him and got his contact info in the first episode. She also clearly based the character in her novel on him and it's not like she wrote it the moment after she supposedly saw he was nice. I don't think there was a time in this timeline when she didn't like him. I was surprised when Haibara said he only liked 2 girls, I also thought he liked the black haired girl.

Typical overbearing father, I'm a little surprised he folded so easily after Hikari spent a few days having ran away from home and one instance of her standing up to him. I had to laugh when Hikari showed that picture to Haibara and it was just her younger self with glasses but otherwise not particularly different. At first I was surprised they didn't do quick fanservice shot of Hikari in the shower but of course we had the standard walk in scene shortly afterwards, though that was probably inevitable when she was literally sleeping in Haibara's room at night.

At first I was surprised they didn't do quick fanservice shot of Hikari in the shower but of course we had the standard walk in scene shortly afterwards, though that was probably inevitable when she was literally sleeping in Haibara's room at night. Honestly this show had been pretty tame by romcom standards but they couldn't help themselves when Natsuki walked in on her. Points for not freaking out or beating him up over it! Just teasing him about staring too long (which he kind of did) lol.

Simple. Haibara is a simple obsessed with Hikari as love interest and other's were practically getting fooled at end. Whatever author makes,Hikari and natsuki dynamic is a good healthy friendship level and its nice to be like that. Miori is best choice for Haibara since she is the one who can he share his issues and also he developed. Idk about Uta,but she is definitely better than one who is not interested as natsuki with romantic.

First Lyric and now Namika. We always stan based little sisters here. Especially when they drop lines like "Should I sleep in the living room because of the noises?" I was actually surprised that Hikari was turned off Natsuki's "cool hot guy that's good at everything" act. You don't see that a lot. Especially from who is assumed to be the main heroine. Standing up her father was huge for her and given what we learned in this episode it's interesting to look back and realize that the girl that Natsuki was pining so hard for in the original timeline was nothing more than an act. I think Uta is kind of the villain here. I get she's a high school girl shooting her shot, but she knows Natsuki likes someone else and is still pursuing him. I feel most bad for Miori. She caught feelings while wingwomaning Natsuki and probably won't stop lying to herself until it's too late.

Natsuki could never imagine he would have to have his crush over after she ran away from home...but look where we are no! "When did I become a light novel protagonist!?" - From episode 1, dude! Hikari is in a boys' room for the first time and Natsuki has Hikari in his room. Perfect time for Hikari to see just how much of a nerd he is with all his "Maruto" manga (is he a fan of Moruto: The Next Generation?) which he shares with his sister...who catches him in his room alone with a cute girl. Yeah, I'm not surprised Namika would get some ideas. Namika is a good little sister! She just rolls with Hikari staying over and is totally there to support her brother! She'll even give him space in case he and Hikari get busy. Is this a light novel or an eroge? Make your mind, Haibara-kun! Hard to have clean, impure, thoughts about having Hikari over when you see her fresh out of your shower in her cute PJ's that show off her legs! I can understand why Hikari finally had enough if her dad really told her she couldn't write OR be with her friends. She was tired of being her fathers' puppet and being denied the chance to be the person she really is, rather than the one she pretended to be to avoid him being mad at her. She was just a scared little girl trying to make her father approve of her, but he'll never really approve of her the way things are now. And more than anything, she wants to be a true author. Wait, Hikari actually didn't like the version of Natsuki from the early episodes? She hid it really well. But finding out that he's a lot like her, someone trying to figure out their identity while facing a gloomy, glasses, past self has made her appreciate and become fonder of him. Even if she still likes him about as much as she likes the entire friend group. Is there a better way to wake up than with Hikari in glasses looking at you while you're in bed? Gotta make sure the little sister doesn't catch you flirting though! This was worth it just so Natsuki could get to see Hikari in her underwear! Hikari is going to fight her father with the only weapon she has: her writing. If they're both people who love books and stories, it's the only way she has to make him take her seriously. And she's got Natsuki as some solid backup! Yeah, I can imagine Yuino would be upset her best friend relied on a boy instead of her, but Yuino will still do everything within her power to support Hikari. That's why she's worth fangirling over. "Maki Shiratani?" - Why does that idol in Yuino's room look like an older Hikari? Was the male lead in Hikari's novel based on Natsuki? Her vehement denials say "yes," but she still needs to get to know Natsuki better to write a better guy in her story. Even if that means getting ALL the deets about himself, his feelings, and his taste in girls. Does Hikari think he like Uta though? Admittedly he IS torn between her and Hikari. They got the novel ready in time for confronting her dad! Hikari is through being her fathers' puppet, because what has following her grandpa's way of life gotten him? Successful businessman but he and his wife don't get along well and Hikari hates him. Is this really the life he wants? It's definitely not the life Hikari wants. And she's finally ready to make him accept the life SHE wants. And hopefully she can succeed! Natsuki is definitely rooting against her dad.

Man the more we see of the dad the douchier he is. stop wasting your time writing novels. Telling her to dump her friend group. Obviously we already knew he was a pile of trash after the flashback to Haibara's old life and the interview with her dad telling him he would only be a puppet, but holy fuck this is your child you sack of shit. Ah the old "I made it easy for you to walk in on me so you're the perv." Girl you stunlocked him by being so hot in such little clothing. Yeah she lying about the male lead not being based on Haibara. I really need the rock aesthetic of the ED to show up in the show with sick guitar shredding.

The preview basically says that Sei said yes. So it's a bait & switch where they reveal Sei added another line in the failed job interview. At least Sei's reasonable to sit down & hear Hikari out instead of forcibly dragging her out. Hikari hit Sei w/ this . We got a panty shot from Hikari. So Hikari couldn't take it when Sei told her to distance herself from her friends including the female ones like Yuino. So Hikari initially didn't like Natsuki until she related to him when she overhead his argument w/ Tatsuya at the school rooftop.

And so she ran away to join him. She's going to his place isn't she? Yep. Yeah... How meta. And now his sister has seen her in his room. And thinks she's interrupting something lol. Not yet anyways. And so he's alone at home with her. Except for his sister. Lol. Bonk. Again, lol how meta. Thought of him huh? And so she's going to stay in his room. So, that's why she ran. So, she's said that to him. Of course he walked in on her changing... And so she's going back. Prove that she can write novels? So she's going to stay until she's done with her novel? And so now she's here too. So, she's going to stay with her instead. Wanted to see her? Seems she did in fact base it on him lol. She's calling him? That's a lotta questions... Indeed. Her. And so she wrote that all in one night. Well, not a moment too soon. Here's trouble. And so she's not going to be his puppet. And so he's going to give her a chance.
