お隣の天使様にいつの間にか駄目人間にされていた件2

I really enjoyed seeing the show address a problem that's rarely considered but has a huge influence on relationships. You become involved in your partner's family, and the chance of not being accepted is 50/50; either you're loved like Mahiru is by Amane's parents, or you're hated like Itsuki's father is by Chitose. Although, I think you can understand his trauma a little, it's not like he's totally hardened; he's a father thinking about his son, but obviously, each case needs to be analyzed. And damn, the tension at the end caught me off guard, although I still don't think they'll do it; it must be the most important step in the relationship.

Are the maids available to go? Shihoko’s acting like a pervy old geezer. Shuuto, you need to rein your missus in! Daiki didn’t seem like an unrepentant prick so he must’ve had a reason in vehemently opposing Chitose, and we’ve learnt about it now. He’s still in the wrong for not making any attempts to listen to her, but I could see where he came from. His concerns were quite valid. If people he respected such as Amane had vouched for her, the least he could do was try to learn more about her.

Prácticamente son los padres de Amane los que están moviendo la relación. Amane empieza a llamar a Mahiru por su nombre en la primera visita sorpresa de Shihoko. La primera vez que se cogen de la mano cuando van todos juntos al santuario en Año Nuevo. El primer beso es cuando pasan las vacaciones con los padres. La mención a futura esposa, cuando se reúnen en la feria, lo mismo que la propuesta de Mahiru de pasar la noche juntos. A este paso, van a tener que estar los padres para la petición de mano y para tener descendencia.

I found it disappointing that we couldn't hear Kadowaki and Amane sing together, but the five of them singing Heavy Rotation together for the ED was such a great surprise! Itsuki sounds a bit too excited lol. It was cute to listen to them, so it was nice way to end the episode.  I'm glad we finally got to learn more about Itsuki, and why Daiki is so against Chitose. I feel bad for her since she didn't really do anything herself, it was because of the effects of Daiki and Itsuki's brother's strained relationship. Daiki really needs to weigh straining another relationship with a son of his is worth it. I'm wondering if he's tried getting to know Chitose, or has been visibly opposed ever since Itsuki got injured.  I am glad Amane's parents said what they did about trusting their son, and how doing too much would be disrespecting their independence. You could argue they're a bit too lenient with the freedom they give him, but he has shown to be trustworthy and is very honest with his parents. I do hope Daiki really gives their thoughts some thought.  Shihoko at the class' cafe was amusing, you could really feel Amane losing his patience. Kadowaki adding onto that by complimenting Amane to his parents was great, so much sweetness. I do like that Shihoko and Chitose were very much in sync with their love for Shiina lol.

Glad they finally explained why Itsuki's dad is not a fan of Chitose. And while it is not okay, the issues are at least understandable with what he understands of the situation and what happened with his first son. One of the biggest questions I've had since S1 that didn't get answered considering how great Chitose is. The tease for next episode... I guess they're bathing together in swimsuits. First the tease of nothing shoulders and up being the dress from s1, now this. They're really getting feisty with the teasing.

Really struggling with this show right now tbh. The Chitose and Itsuki story looks very good and interesting but we aren’t seeing a lot of it. Meanwhile Amane’s mom started off funny but now it’s just getting a bit boring and annoying. What’s worse is i can see in the preview she will be back to undoubtedly be cringe again. Meanwhile Amane and Shina just seem to be doing nothing but saying the same stuff over and over again. Season 1 was great but this is a bit stale.

Kido is great. She and her one track mind for muscle guys and her ability to get Mahiru to admit things (e.g. Mahiru wanting to see Amane naked) is fun. I'm glade Chitose and Shihoko finally got to meet. I think we all knew they would hit it off immediately considering Mahiru is Chitose's best friend and Shihoko's favourite child. I was willing to give Itsuki's father the benefit of the doubt. That he's a good parent but he just doesn't vibe with Chitose despite her being a good partner to Itsuki. Parents don't have like who their children choose as partners after all. But then we discovered that he's actually just a willfully ignorant victim blaming loser so that went out the window. It makes sense now why there's so much friction between Istuki and his dad now. Itsuki's father also puts into perspective how bad Mahiru's sperm and egg donors are. We know how bad Itsuki's father and she's jealous of that . Amane's parents rolling up the cafe was so fun. He tried to stay in character, but Shihoko teasing him and doting (and wholesomely perving a little) on Mahiru was just too much for him. We even got a "Come on man. Don't compliment me in front my parents. I'm trying to look cool here," scene. With Mahiru asking to stay the night and them in the bath together is the next episode preview is it finally time? Is Amane ready?

So Amane's parents are Seijo alumni? Perfect time to come back for the school festival and go on a festival double date with Amane and Mahiru. I admire Kido's tenacity and dedication to her love of muscle-men, even if she's loyal to her boyfriend above all else! It's more convenient to feel up his muscles anyways! And she actually got Mahiru to admit out loud that she wouldn't mind seeing Amane naked...and she's more or less tried imagining it. Chi and Shihoko are now part of the "adoring Mahiru Club" and Shuto properly thanks Itsuki for being there for Amane all this time. It's nice to see them get to meet Amane's friends and the social life he's built for himself up until now. It really is so bad between Itsuki and his dad that he has to get Chitose as far away from Daiki as possible. Though I'm glad Amane's parents were both able to politely convey to him how important it is to respect your childrens' decisions, even in their partner, and Amane sticks up for Chi as well. To Daiki's credit, he acknowledges Itsuki's own life choices and, even if he doesn't love Chitose, he has no intention of getting in the way of their relationship. Itsuki has family drama from his rich family...but at least in his own way his parents, however strict, are showing their love for him. Which is more than Mahiru's parents ever did. But at least she's basically been adopted by Amane's family! Poor Amane. There's no way he can keep up the butler act with his mom trying to steal Maid Mahiru and teasing the heck out of him. Kadowaki doesn't help walking in to flirt with his mom and declaring their close friendship, but it just goes to show how popular Amane is now. Well, we know Mahiru can sing, she's been singing the ED for two seasons, but she WANTS to hear Amane sing even if he has to drag everyone in class along with him. So Itsuki's family drama is that his older brother eloped and abandoned the family business, forcing Itsuki to be the heir until the brother finally came back. But even so, the damage was done in terms of how Itsuki was raised and how Chi reminds Daiki too much of the girl his eldest abandoned him for, and that's not even getting into how Itsuki needed to catch Chi when she got pushed by other girls who liked him. If only everyone could just get along. The school festival is over, Amane and Mahiru no longer need to parade themselves out in front of their classmates and others, meaning they can now dedicate all their time and focus to each other! Complete with Mahiru planning to stay the night! Oh, here I was disappointed we didn't get to hear everybody sing and they just put it in the ED with more Chibi's of everybody. Next week: Mahiru and Amane in the bath together (is that a black bikini I see?)! The parents that will not leave!

And so now his parents are here for the festival. Lol. She'd be thrilled . Lmao bonk. Oh, that guy has seen him. Seems like they might get him to change his mind about the other couple. So, that worked. Envious? Ah. Because it means his dad at least loves him, as opposed to her own parents. Yeah pretty much... And so now his parents see them in their outfits. Not yet . And so time for the after-party. Lol at her popping up in the bottom left. He got hurt protecting her? Ah... She's jealous. Headpats for Mahiru! He kissed her! And so she's going to stay the night.

Adorable episode highlighting the different family dynamics of each of our couples. Akane’s folks are already planning for the day Mahiru gets added to their family registry. Might even end up adding Chitose if Itsuki’s dad never gets over himself. But the truly wildest thing is the special ED activating me like a fucking sleeper agent. While making me feel a million years old because that song can drive in the US.

Kido just needs muscles in her life at all times otherwise she'll suffer a deficiency and collapse! Amane's parents gave great advice to Daiki and it's good to see Amane sticking up for Itsuki and Chi. Those two mean a lot to him, even if he's too embarrassed to admit it. Shihoko is Mahiru's biggest fan and gets along great with Chi. Dangerous combo indeed. Shuto needs to reign in his wife and her pervy old man act lol. Amane was smooth with the line delivery that Mahiru isn't her daughter in law, yet. Even Mahiru picked up on that 'yet' and blushed. So cute. We finally see why the relationship between Itsuki and his dad is strained. His older brother eloped with his girlfriend after deciding he didn't want to inherit the family business. They ended up making up but the damage was done due to that experience. Daiki seems to think that Chi will lead Itsuki down that same path and so he hasn't accepted her even though she hasn't done anything wrong. Blaming Chi for that incident with the upperclassman doesn't make sense either. Hopefully they'll be able to reconcile their differences in the future. Mahiru really doesn't want to share Amane and wants to keep the sides he shows her all to herself. She's really possessive of him. Oh boy...Mahiru wants to spend the night. Are they going to take the next step or will Amane try and put on the brakes? That preview shows Mahiru in a swimsuit in their bath and it might be the 'other' swimsuit that Chi encouraged her to buy and wear for Amane at the pool. Mahiru wanted to show him when they were alone since she didn't have the courage to wear it at the pool, so I guess now is the time. Things are heating up!
