Sorry but I can't stand the MC at all... so you freak out because she is eating the bowl of ramen you have left? but it is okay to spend much time with her in your room all alone, going to take a bath in a bikini and you even suggest to show you the bikini in the shower? Come on!
I don't care about any of them, and there is only one episode left... I don't know, I'll see how it concludes and then decide if I continue with the next girl |

I'm actually pissed off... slow-moving romances is a hallmark of childhood friend couples (think Rihoko in Amagami who only really got into a relationship in 2nd season), and Tsuneki stealing that from Tohno is eating me alive. I guess one can see that the MC's relationship with Tsuneki is being built up like childhood friends, so I should be happy, but I can't help but feel that they're leaving nothing for Tohno.
@scififan Sorry man, didn't think anyone would take my comment seriously. It was just a light hearted reply to a light hearted joke. No need to over think it. To be fair though, it was Enzo who started it...

Episode 3
I really love Tsuneki's teasing. She started with the high temperature thing right after people said that she's here to flirt. She's not effected by everyone thinking of her as a slut bitch. She just ends up having fun with that. Tsuneki's playful, teasing side would be best complemented by someone who's not a loser like Kamita. And it seems that Araki-senpai has been taken while Tsuneki was studying during summer vacations. Though it never really felt that much to me that Tsuneki had something for Araki-senpai. Or it could be just me. Anyway, we're reaching the climax for this girl and her stuff should end next week after which we'll move on to the next girl and I kinda doubt the new girl will be as fun as Tsuneki. Also, that nekoing foot and belly button fetishist of an MC. It's kinda different with how they give things like this some weird focus. Kamita didn't stare at Tsuneki's boobs of all the things there to gawk at. He looked at her belly button. Kinda nice... I guess. |

i gonna say i honestely prefer the mc from Amagami SS, here the mc is the typical loser protakun, this get annoying very fast, while i like all of the tsuneki teasing the mc, his reactions stop very fast to be funny and more annoying how he look too much cliche even more than the girls by being the typical peniless looser the guy in Amagami SS was much better and actually "manly" instead of this fail guy, excluding it so far is funny tsuneki arc next episode will be the last and we gonna get the next girl and i really hope he can be a litte different with next girl and less ultra shy.

Yeah, sadly, Hikari is the only good thing so far.
As it was mentioned in other places, one of the the things that made Amagami SS interesting was that it was BOTH Junichi AND the main girl of the arc, both individually and mutually, that made it fun to watch since, of course, it takes BOTH parties to make a relationship work. Junichi actually had a personality and an established baseline "problem" with his being stood up for a Christmas date, so you actually have a reason to root for him in winning the girl over as he tries to overcome the fear of it possibly happening again and such. There's nothing like that with Shouichi. He has no real personality aside from the typical "nice" male MC cliches nor is there any reason to root for him besides JUST being the MC, which isn't good. Sure, they clearly TRIED to make him seem more Junichi like with the fetish attention and a couple hijinks, but unlike Junichi, who actually manned up and did stuff (and usually resulted in funny, endearing, and enjoyable moments between him and the girl), Shouichi just comes off a bit creepy as a result... Basically, Hikari is the one who has been carrying this whole arc so far while Shouichi barely registers as even a side character, much less the MC.

I still cannot figure out how we are going to get from the friendzone to actual romance three episodes in. Because, as much as Hikari is teasing Shouichi, from his perspective, Hikari's actions at the camp are perfectly self-consistent with a gad-flyish trolling self in school, only transposed to the context of a camp where she is bored out of her mind. For all we know, Hikari's forwardness to Shouichi was not the result of any romantic affection (though the genre demands that it has to be), but rather the result of being bored, utterly out of place in the camp, and Shouichi being the only one from Hikari's social circle to mess around with.
Also, Shouichi is a very boring and inconsistently written protagonist, that slides from an utterly useless and indecisive wimp to somewhat competent as the plot demands. He comes off as a flat one-dimensional hormonal nice guy..... and to be honest, I don't care what happens to him at this stage. This is not the case with Hikari. In-fact, I'd rather see more reverse harem Shoujo protagonist be like Hikari. And on that topic, Shouichi is basically the male equivalent of one of the cliche Shoujo reverse harem protagonists who are utterly passive doormats. |

I love a girl that knows she's hot stuff and fakes ignorance. It certainly is better than having one that is totally oblivious to half the room looking at her.
That said, can the snitch be more obvious?

Does it really need to build toward a romantic conclusion? Given that we have not gotten any unambiguous romantic development and that there is but only one episode left, perhaps this arc with end with a platonic relationship between the pairing? It did happen in Amagami SS, after all, so it can happen here.

Yeah does seem a given that Tsuneki was basically ratted out to keep her from being able to attend the trip. Hard to say if she was really a threat, but that seems to be the reason that girl likely ratted her out.
As a whole I'd still say Tsuneki has been a fun character and not a bad person to start out with. Definitely brings a lot of personality and energy. Though will say that I agree with the slow build overall. Considering each arc is 4 episodes it feels like they should have ramped things up a bit faster than this. Maybe if they had 6 episodes for each girl I could see this one ending on a decent point. Not that things aren't moving in a positive direction with these two. With enough time I could see something happening there. If they compressed the first 3 episodes into 2 episodes somehow I think this would be a bit smoother. Feels like it will be on Tsuneki to help her arc reach a satisfactory end. Presumably she'll deal with the snitching. Maybe Shoichi will do something dramatic thinking she still suspects him of snitching on her and that will push things forward between them in a hurry. In the end I'm still enjoying the arc. Might mostly be thanks to Tsuneki's pure energy. Still, hasn't been a bad ride. Was mostly fun last episode especially having her mess with all those people who were basically judging and making presumptions about her anyways. They'll all go their separate ways after that camp anyways so might as well mess with them. Quote:

At this point, no way they can wrapped this up with a full romance. It's going to be more like Rihoko's end. MC still kinda sucks, and I hope the next two arcs helps him improved.
Tsuneki needs some self control, she is almost at a slut level. I don't know how the next two girls will top her because so far she is just amazing, but not Haruka amazing. |

yeah so far at last on this arc looks like the problem is the mc and all the arc being carried solely by the girl and i really hope is just this arc, if all the others girls arc gonna be like that gonna be really annoying have a too "passive" mc where he looks more like a "background" character and everything must be worked by the girls otherwise "nothing gonna happen" from mc side, the amagami mc was much, really a lot better than this one he had a strong personality and worked to move the plot while here the mc just "wait the girl" pop-up and do everything otherwise he is just a "boring" and annyoing pervert character.
