Very nice episode.
In some ways, I prefer these group-oriented episodes over the "specific girl's route" episodes. Because in these episodes, you get to see some funny character dynamics at play that you typically don't in the girl's routes episodes.
Kud was definitely the star of the show in this episode, and she didn't disappoint. But what I actually found must amusing was the scene where Mio plays a totally unflappable straightman to Haruka's comedian.
Haruka trying
so hard to provoke a reaction only to have Mio so easily blow her off was really funny to me, lol.
These little character interactions between atypical pairs or groups of characters is one of LB's greatest strengths, imo.
