Mizuho's first love?! Honestly, the way she meet certain people in this show is more than a coincidence.

This looks like an extension of the previous episode near the beach with her and the boys. There were more flashbacks featured when they used to be kids. It's an important way of storytelling to flesh out her character. Feels like she was the most clever person out of the group.

I swear this show is just a straight up soap opera. Like genuinely even has the direction writing of an NBC soap opera. Like of course Mizuho first love is Shugo’s brother who’s now her teacher 🤦🏽‍♂️ had to have the grooming option in the series. Bro is 25 competing with teenagers for a girl cmon now. It’s like this author just wanted every negative shoujo stereotype in a show.😭

Fitting this is the first episode we see Shugo’s crush, Shiraishi-sensei. “I’m an adult and a teacher and I’m simply not interested in you. Not one bit” LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bro I’m in tears. That was brutal. Looks like we’ll be going into a forbidden love arc from here on out. He’s gonna be going after her and Togo will keep making his moves on Mizuho.

This is like a train wreck you just can’t take your eyes away from

i love it, it's getting worse and worse with each ep, i wonder what's gonna be the next trope or who's gonna seduce mizuho next. Maybe the guy from the swimming team making a comeback? Maybe another childhood acquaintance? Maybe the director? Find out next week of author fantasy

"You perverted Demon Lord!"
Dang, for a second there I though we might get some fantasy action and fan service.

This show is honestly an excercise in frustration. I doubt there will ever be any romance at all.

@Marinate1016 I think I might just go re-watch Domestic Girlfriend after all. At least there was actual plot progression.

That big bro is so hot, but why they're not surfing shirtless? Such a waste of good character design.

Togo is calling his shot right now as Mizuho's first crush and he gave the boys a stern warning at the end if they continue to beat around to bush about their feelings for Mizuho.

Are the boys going to be cucked by Togo?

I really don’t know why I am still watching, this show is ass. The whole premise is unbelievable. This girl has been hanging out, her whole life, with these 4 (or is it now 5) guys. She doesn’t seem to have any girl friends, just spends all her time with the same 4 guys.

And now a new guy is here. At this point I wish she would just go out with the new guy and dump the other 4 guys. And glasses guy should start dating the teacher. That should wrap the story up nicely. It turns out they only had a budget for eight episodes. So it’s over next week with that ending. Thank you.

This was probably the worst episode. And I don’t even want to talk about the animation.

But I’m still watching it.

This episode was boring and probably the worst(?) episode. He was introduced to shake up the friendship, which is the only good thing about the episode.
They could've done so much more with Shugo's character being involved in his messy unrequited love but no, I guess they'll be short of one harem character.

Togo sensei, I would gladly go to your P.E lessons :3 At the end of last ep I was about to write "Mister Steal-your-girl" arrived but it seems more fitting here. I hope he will do something too not just said that to scare the little boys.
Shiraishi nailed it how she said 'I am not interested in you at all' in that tone and with that face.. She is right, Shugo should know his place.

I wonder what Shugo's ultimate reaction will be to his Onii-chan creeping on his best friend and crush.

Oh great, we’re adding in the gross shojo trope of teacher and student 🤮 As if this show wasn’t a big enough dumpster fire as it is

I love the flashback scenes and how the guys are now fighting over her at the end, but other than that it was crap.

Mizuho might've changed drastically and having the better life now, but adolescence is pretty much both a blessing and a curse to her.

As much as the guys are all playing nice, Togo is in another whole ballpark that the Highlands boys can't afford to drop their guard on her first crush. Shugo, however, going as far as to poach his teacher Shiraishi and trying to entertain her, she clearly doesn't give him the light of day to reject his proposition.

With Togo arriving as a student teacher into their school, the guys knowing that they have no chance of hiding themselves, as much as Mizuho's only focus is on her manuscript and her manga work after pulling off constant all-nighters, with the help of Shugo and Aira. This is as much effort she will give since her mother's passing, with the 4 guys accompanying her like their usual young days.

Togo making his intentions clear that just like the 4 guys, he's also another childhood friend of Mizuho's, and this soap opera is only going to get messy.
