Saw the first episode today and I got what I expected out of this. I'm ok with the OP song so far.

Right off the bat, we meet the school setting with prestigious students. There's a elegant atmosphere with the high class uniforms and environment. Romio stands out because he is somewhat of a hothead.

Also, there's Juliet and Hasuki introduced. Pretty much an introductory episode in general in terms of the storytelling. I think they tried to make all the guys look very gentleman-like with the exception of Romio. Only 12 episodes for this and the manga is still ongoing but I'll keep my hopes up.

I actually kinda like the atmosphere of the show.

I was watching the entire episode with a stupid grin on my face. <3
Loved the OP, loved how Persia got a tough voice and has a dream on her own that is not about going steady with the boy she likes (as we still haven't heard her say she loves Inudzuka though she accepted his confession and agreed to go out with him) but to change the world to accept woman like her as noble leaders not just men. Also loved how goofy Inudzuka was and how sensible he truly is compared to his rough appearance. It is clear who of the two will be the cool, level-headed one and who will be the emotional, worried mess. Just look at that ending. xDDD

The confession while sword-fighting was great as was the conclusion in the water. Inudzuka saying he wants to share and help Persia with her dream was so sweet~

Next episode we get "Juilo" and ofc Inudzuka being all happy and goofy that the girl of his heart loves(?) him back. <3 <3 <3

I will surely watch this till the end!

Urgh, subbing the name as Persia is a terrible choice. Perucia is much better...

Oh, and the Hasuki / Sakura Ayane combination is terrific!

At first, I thought it was an eroge adaption...
Heck, there actually was an eroge anime several years back that this reminds me too much of.

But by the time I reached the end of the episode, I realized it wasn't. And it wasn't. Apparently this is a manga adaption.
In a bad way.

Anyways, I found it pretty boring. I will give it points for actually getting the guy to confess in the first episode instead of dragging the confession on, but that is about it.
The setting isn't particularly interesting, the characters are not interesting, the story was not interesting.

Oh, but I think the animation was fairly good.
I don't know, there are a lot of anime on this day. I will have to see if I bother with another episode...

Unfortunately, it's the official spelling of the name they decided upon from the anime's website.
Similarly, Cybelle is most likely going to be called Sieber.

Problem with "Perucia" is that there's generally a stronger emphasis on the "ru" syllable, which is given pretty much no emphasis here. I'd say Persia is closer to the intended sound.

Not a bad episode. Fights were pretty good (and they didn't even bother with the "magic skirt" trope here, just kept it subtle until directly applicable), the romance was sweet, I rather enjoyed it.

Fripside for opening song in a romance anime felt little bit weird.. it looks like this anime is going to become a serious one

about the adaptation, somehow I think the art is the greatest part
I didn't expect the episode 1 is going to be this good... Inuzuka is not that annoying, while Perucia's cuteness is overwhelming
the VA is definitely great help

I hope they managed to make the boring part become interesting for the adaptation.. because the plot is going to move slowly from now

And elementary school rivals? If Bakugo and Deku are considered as childhood friends within the source, I guess I can't lose here. XD

Not a bad first episode. The confession scene was great :D. It kind of worked with both sides going at it physically and all emotional issues being dragged out in the midst of that. And kind of nice that both mains are pretty darn capable in a fight.

Not a bad dynamic. One saw the other as a rival they respected (Juliet) and there was respect from Romio that also developed into love. Kind of looking forward to seeing how things unfold.

James Rye

2018-10-07, 07:46

Ugh, couldn't even finish the episode from how much of a turn off this is, once again we get yet another japanese MC that is way too obsessed with a perfect little flower of a princess. At least this has the decency of establishing the couple from the very beginning but apparently will still force a harem like situation for... reasons. No thank you.

Not really a harem if the others have zero chances to get with the MC since episode 1. What I like most is that this is not the girl lusting after the boy but the boy going after the girl and her being the one accepting the confession. Usually it is always "MC likes this girl, but girl x, y and z likes MC but don't tell him for whatever reason, lots of fanservice, yaddayadda, girl x gives up, girl y confesses but gets rejected and girl z wants to confess but not without main girl realizing what a great guy she is missing out, yaddayadda, MC gets main girl, everyone is happy because MC is happy".

Here we got two nations who hate each other and who cultivate said hate since a young age. We got a boy from one side loving a girl from the other side since childhood, but only as a teen/near adult he realizes that his version of the girl, aka him protecting her, was not fitting into reality, being Persia actually not wanting a protector but a partner who believes in her to be able to change the world that say girl cannot become Lords and Inudzuka follows that up by wanting to help her change the world. Not only for Persia's dream but also for his own, that a relationship like theirs will be accepted by the others.

Which we can be sure won't happen. If it ever came out that those two are dating they would get bullied and ridiculed and maybe even worse from their own sides. They wouldn't have any supporters and be driven out of school, maybe even taken home by their own families to prevent their relationship to happen.

Awww, their first date~ <3
Loved the Rosario part and how Inuzuka had no idea why Persia was angry with him refusing her gift. That reminds me of how a girl was angry at me when I had already gone into a movie with my friends she wanted to see with me and wouldn't take "I can still watch it a 2nd time" as an acceptable answer. Women are weird...

Julio was such a cutie that he immediately became popular with the whole Black Dog School, Persia's charm cannot be hidden even with a disguise. It is adorable how much those two about each other, though it seems Persia is more worried about hiding their relationship than Inuzuka's worries about how to be a couple.

Next episode, best princess shows up and she needs a chair to sit on! <3

Beautiful Char joins the show!

She got a cameo appearance from episode 2 but glad to see a full appearance this week. Just like a cat, she's devious and hard to read. It's funny seeing how she's so protective over Juliet.

Anyways, I think they captured her personality pretty well in this adaptation.

This was a hilarious episode, they way Char was ordering him around like that, I lot it at the deer part.

He got the last laugh on her though, but seems she we will interfere again another time judging by what she said at the end.

James Rye

"Do you like them bigger?"
This is such a dangerous question...
Char was funny in her tyranny mode, as was Inuzuka as her loyal black doggy following all her orders to protect his and Perucia's secret. But man, withou Hasuki dude would have been lynched for sure. Loved how Inuzuka cried rivers when he saw his rosary on Perucia's chest. Dude is such a hopeless romantic. xD

2018-10-20, 16:45

So far, pretty much identical to the manga... but Hasuki man, Ayaneru really brings out her moe. I know it's supposed to be Char's episode, but Hasuki preventing Inuzuka's lynching and her looking from the window won the episode for me. XD

Episode 4

Good God, Char is never going to stop tormenting Romio, is she? And this all started because of a blackmail..

Seems we're getting more of Romio's past this episode. He doesn't seem much different at all compared to his present self. What a kid. I think he's really the antithesis of the authorative type of characters in the show.

I don't think Romio is ever going to get a break in this show whether dealing with Char or Hatsuki, especially when she has a sword LOL. Hatsuki's emotions is quite something.

Yeah, Hasuki is adorable. Certainly a tough turn for her. Kind of a given that she'd take it poorly. Really to find out he fell in love with anyone would have hurt. But yeah finding out it was someone that she would have a natural disdain for anyways just sucks all the more. Glad by the end of the episode she was able to gather herself. Never going to feel good about this. But guess she's decided that losing him as a friend as well would hurt even worse. Was up to her to decide how much she was willing to lose.

Kind of impressive she managed to annihilate clothing using a replica sword :heh:.

At least it did go where I thought it might for Romio. If he can't get his closest friend to accept this then what hope does he have in changing the world? Have to start somewhere and facing Hasuki suffering from a broken heart was an important step.

Kind of glad this setup forces some difficult moments. Both Romio and Persia made decisions when they started this. And dealing with the aftermath with those closest to them is part of the equation. Deciding to start that relationship does mean some broken hearts.

Enternal

2018-10-27, 03:01

So not only is Hasuki adorable and loyal as all heck, but she's smart and can also pull off a sexy teacher look with glasses. She really is the full package :D.

Wasn't Romio kicked out of the dorm last episode? I guess that didn't last :eyebrow:.

Kind of surprised that Maru seems to get along well enough with Hasuki. I wonder if there's some kind of history there :eyebrow:.

It's hard not to feel bad for Hasuki. She falls in love with the boy who managed to get her to open up and become the Hasuki she is now, and then once she finally confesses to him he basically rejects her by admitting he's in a relationship with a girl who is basically the enemy of her entire dorm. It would've been more surprising if she had actually taken that well :upset:.

Y'know, after Char joined up with Hasuki to kill Inuzuka, I totally would have just told Persia about Char's secret love for Juliet, but I guess Inuzuka still wanted to respect her feelings on that front (moreso then Char probably respects his) :uhoh:.

It'll be interesting to see how things will be like moving forward now that Hasuki is aware of Inuzuka and Persia's relationship and Juliet knows Char knows about it. I guess having more people "in-the-know" might help the pair keep it a secret, although I'm also curious if Hasuki is completely over her own feelings for Inuzukua at this point :(.
Well, Persia is kind of the whole package as well. Though a package with some caveats since she's on the opposing side, lol. Besides, we may have gotten with hawt Hasuki with that teacher look but you can't deny that Persia's sleepwear is great, right? :D

About Char, I think she respects it too. She's just mad that his decision to let Hazuki know put Persia in danger. Because after the situation was solved and all, she didn't continue to try to attack him.

I'm laughing a lot how whipped Maru became around Julio. Oh boy, I wonder how he would behave when he finds out Julio = Persia especially what he and his birthday-suit-friends attempted to do in the first episode.

I also quite like how Persia is what allowed Inazuka to grow further as she was the one to suggest them to both fight on and not run away from the situation. It was also great how she didn't sell him out and instead tried to help him.

EDIT: That being said, there is one thing I do think. While I understand Hasuki's anger and laughed at Inazuka's hopeful dreams, I think Char was a better friend to Persia than Hasuki was to Inazuka in this particular situation. Char was never mad at Persia for dating Inazuka and supported and defended Persia from behind the entire time. She did try to get in between but she never attacked (I don't mean physically) Persia and instead went after Inazuka, the actual "enemy." However, in Hasuki's case, once Inazuka told Hasuki about his situation, her anger and jealously got the better of her. And this is something Hasuki knows as she immediately quiet up after Char said how she does not agree with their relationship but she will continue to keep Persia out of danger "as her friend." But anyways, a crying Hasuki T_T

I haven’t seen the episode for myself yet, but I have to ask; did Persia actually do anything to defend their relationship from Char or Hasuki, or is Inuzuka still doing all the work?

I honestly like Persia the most out of all the girls so far (it doesn’t help that blackmail of any kind puts you on my $hitlist for good, barring some extreme redeeming action), but so far it feels like Inuzuka is the one dong all the work to protect their relationship while Persia is just along for the ride. Because of that it doesn’t feel like her feelings in this relationship are genuine, and even worse it doesn’t feel like she’s entirely deserving of Inuzuka and his efforts to keep their relationship intact. (and secret) She needs to stand up and say “don’t hurt my Inuzuka!” or something to that effect for once.

She does in terms of influencing him in this episode. As as for what you asked about standing up and assert her desire:
Yes, but not in this episode.Well asserting her desire is important, but right now I’m talking about actually taking effort in protecting their relationship. So far it’s all been Inuzuka, dealing with the blackmail, dealing with Hasuki, etc., but does Persia ever actually go to any lengths to defend their relationship from outside threats? A relationship requires effort from both sides, but so far it’s been Inuzuka doing all the heavy lifting.

Well, what I'm saying is yes.
Inazuka was running away from the problem but she said that they both should instead fight the problem head-on, which influenced him to actually fight back.
Does that answer your question?

And when I said asserting her desire, she didn't merely assert her desire. However, saying anything further is in manga spoiler territory so I don't want to go into details.

I know she’s providing emotional support, but what I’m talking about is actual action and effort. So far, Inuzuka has scaled dorm walls to talk to her, humiliated himself in front of both sides to satisfy a blackmailing semi-stalker b****, and has had to run for his life from a sword-swinging Hasuki. Outside of encouraging words, Persia hasn’t done anything to protect this relationship yet.

But like I said, “so far.” I’m not delivering my judgement partway through the series, just voicing my concern that Inuzuka is getting left with the bill. If Persia steps up to the plate later, then good.
I just wish it was more “Inuzuka and Persia work hard to stay together” than “Inuzuka does all the work.” Just a few events of Persia working for it still gets outweighted by what Inuzuka has already gone through, and we all know he’ll go through a lot more.

So... why keep asking here in the anime thread where spoilers are not allowed? You replied to me several times just to ask for some "substance" when you could simply keep watching until the anime actually ends or even start reading the manga to get your answer? That being said, I understand your concern. But unless you want spoilers or willing to go look at the source immediately, you are not going to get any sort of satisfactory answer at the moment.

James Rye

2018-10-27, 07:21

I was asking if Persia had finally taken any action in this episode. After that I was just voicing my concern.

Well, she did just risk her life dressing as Julio to enter the lion cave. Char was superpissed about Inuzuka risking Perucia like that just because he cannot survive not seeing her for 3 days. A true Cryzuka for sure and a pretty brave Perucia in my eyes. If her cover had been blown... well, we have seen what Maru and his friends nearly did to Perucia in the garden, so imagine a dorm full of boys and girls all hell-bent on making the White Cats suffer and to humiliate them. Heck, they even do this learning camp not for their notes but to one-up the white cats! Learning because you hate somebody! That is the deepest hate I can ever imagine...

As for the episode, loved again how Inuzuka is the more emotional one of the two. "Well, we are not allowed to leave the dorm for 72 hours..." "So we cannot see each other for 3 days?" "Yes..." I know which parent will have to be the strict one with their children. xD

Another great part was Maru breaking his phone because Julio said how uncool cheating is. That guy always goes overboard with everything. xD

Hasuki going for the kill was to be expected, she just confessed and the boy she liked for so long rejected her. Not because he doesn't like her, he does as a best friend after all, but because he is in love with a White Cat, THE White Cat Perucia, leader of the White Cat dorm and eternal rival of Inuzuka. That feeling must have been beyond awful.

But the best part to me was when Perucia told Inuzuka that he was the one who has moved/changed her heart when he was just so depressed that he cannot even convince his best friend of his forbidden relationship with the woman he loves. It shows that Inuzuka really was in a one-sided love since his childhood but that he was able to convey his feelings to an enemy and make said enemy fall for him as well. If he can do that, he can change the world. He already did made Princess Char not approve of their relationship but at least to accept it as long as he does not bring her in danger. And now he made Hasuki accept that his love for Perucia is as great as hers for him. If she were to tell him that his feelings are fake or just a result of Perucia seducing him then the same would count for her own feelings as well. She probably won't accept the relationship either just like Char, but she will not work actively to end it as well.

And given how naive Inuzuka can be, he gonna need all the help he can get for the world to accept a black dog and a white cat to love each other. I mean their dorm had an offical freaking warning that you get killed if you fall in love with a white cat, holy crap....

2018-10-27, 10:56

Honestly, in summary this episode.......made me like Hasuki a good bit less. -_- Of course one doesn’t take news like that very well, but her reaction was on the level of violent characters that everybody hates, like Naru from Love Hina. Sometimes I can still come out liking such characters.......but not in this case. Sorry guys. (Not that I hate Hasuki now, but.....)
But she did gain many points back with me for reconciling before the episode was over. Time will tell if she can keep that up and regain the rest of her points.

Hasuki Best Girl.

I especially liked that she saw Inuzuka was taking her for granted and wouldn't have it.Inuzuka taking Hasuki for granted? I absolutely disagree. Persia is and always will be number 1 in his mind, as she should be, but it’s because he cares about Hasuki too that he told her the truth. He could have come up with any one of several lies as a lot of other characters have done in his position, but instead he leveled with her.
And did you not see how Inuzuka struggled with not telling her the truth because he though he’d lose her as a friend? (and his worries were justified) You dont struggle like that over someone you take for granted. Inuzuka just isn’t the kind of person to do that. He cares so much about people that he didn’t even blow Char’s stalker secret to Persia despite everything Char put him through. Guys like us could never be that caring.

Well, she did just risk her life dressing as Julio to enter the lion cave.That’s really nothing compared to what Inuzuka went through in the blackmail incedent alone. :heh:

EDIT: Having watched more of the episode now, I’m convinced that Persia is the only one of the three girls so far who really deserves Inuzuka. (not that I’m saying Char is a contender for him or that this will be a harem series, but you know what I mean) Char’s a complete, blackmailing, ungrateful b**** and while Hasuki isn’t a bad person, even she attacks him like a rabid Naru Narusegawa. I know the Hasuki fans will hate me for saying that, but it’s true. (at least she reconciled soon enough)
And this also convinces me all the more that Persia needs to start getting involved in the action and plant herself between Inuzuka and these people.

He told her to assuage his conscience. And he may have worried about losing her "as a friend", but he never worried about what losing him would do to her, or thought she wouldn't help him keep his secret. That's exactly taking her for granted.

Inuzuka just isn’t the kind of person to do that.

He consistently put his emotional needs before whatever circumstances others are in. As shown with the many, many times he risks his (and Persia's) secret being revealed basically because he feels like it.

Sometimes I just hate Ayaneru, because I almost instantly like the character she voices over everyone else in the show. At first, Kayanon was my #2, but by the end of Yumekui Merry (another anime where Ayaneru+Kayanon were #1/#2 heroines) I started having doubts. 7 years later we have this show, and I just like Hasuki way more than Persia simply because Hasuki is voiced by Ayaneru. XD
Lol! In my case, I'm more of a fan of Kayano Ai so I'm leaning towards her. But... Kayanon is her fan nickname!? Lololol.

Anyways, I would agree with Anh_Minh. Inazuka does take her for granted. Even when he told her his circumstances with Persia (which I agree is a GREAT idea), emotionally, it's still because he took her for granted.

That being said, I don't care anymore and I'm just going to say that both Persia and Hasuki is best girls. Who said there should only be one? They are both best girls. Why is Inazuka so lucky that he has both of them falling for him? Then again, Waazuka is pretty cute xDD

That's exactly taking her for granted.Taking her for granted would be him not realizing/caring about her value, which he totally did. He worried about losing her as a friend and was singing praises about her the whole episode especially her teacher mode. What you’re describing isn’t him taking her for granted.

He consistently put his emotional needs before whatever circumstances others are in. As shown with the many, many times he risks his (and Persia's) secret being revealed basically because he feels like it.That’s not taking her for granted either. The one time he deliberately risked their secret was this episode when he told Hasuki, which was specifically because he cared about her and their friendship, this not taking her for granted.

I also noticed this, but then I realized both, Char and Hasuki, are in completely different position and are not really comparable.

Firstly, Char, she:

never really hoped Persia returns her feelings,
was helping/observing Persia, but do not wanted to be noticed and make Persia feel indebted,
seems to not really care about dorms conflict (I mean, she is a b*** to everybody).

From the other hand, Hasuki:

really hoped Romio returns her feeling,
was pretty openly helping him and hoped he notice her again, but as a girl,
really cares about her dorm and wants to beat white cats.

Results?
Char do not felt to be betrayed by Persia, but was simply both jealous of Romio and treated him as a threat which my cause harm to Persia, and seeing Romio ideas, she isn't completely wrong about that.
Hasuki case is different, she felt to be betrayed and abandoned by ungrateful Romio.

but does Persia ever actually go to any lengths to defend their relationship from outside threats?

So far Persia do nothing to defend their relationships, I mean literally, she luckily avoided any dangerous situation, and that's a lot in those conditions.

PS. I expected it to be another harem romcom with many stupid misunderstanding and unlucky falling on girls (usually both at once), fortunately this one seems to be different.

@ Botan_TM
I can see your points. But in a good way, Char's way of dealing with the situation did help calm Hasuki down once she said "as her friend."

"So far Persia do nothing to defend their relationships, I mean literally, she luckily avoided any dangerous situation, and that's a lot in those conditions."
Pretty much.

One thing even as a manga reader I did not feel the author did not do a good job enough is the screen time for the white cats as an overall group compared the black doggies. There are only a few white cats that gets a lot of attention but the focus is more geared towards Inazuka and the black doggies as a group. In some ways, it feels more like story is about Inazuka as the MC and his crazy mutt gang rather than the story being dual MCs about the mutt gang and the pussy troupe.

Taking her for granted would be him not realizing/caring about her value, which he totally did. He worried about losing her as a friend and was singing praises about her the whole episode especially her teacher mode. What you’re describing isn’t him taking her for granted.
Taking her for granted isn't the same as not seeing her value. It's assuming it doesn't matter what he does or what she wants, she'll do what he wants, no matter how unrewarding or damaging to other aspects of her life. In this case, keep his secret.

That’s not taking her for granted either. The one time he deliberately risked their secret was this episode when he told Hasuki, which was specifically because he cared about her and their friendship, this not taking her for granted.

The date. Asking her to come to his dorm. All his many instances of carelessness. And no, those aren't "taking her for granted". I never said they were. I said they showed he put his own emotional needs ahead of his loved ones' circumstances. Which he does.

Well asserting her desire is important, but right now I’m talking about actually taking effort in protecting their relationship. So far it’s all been Inuzuka, dealing with the blackmail, dealing with Hasuki, etc., but does Persia ever actually go to any lengths to defend their relationship from outside threats? A relationship requires effort from both sides, but so far it’s been Inuzuka doing all the heavy lifting.
To be fair, Persia hasn't been in a position where she needed to defend their relationship. Not to mention that she's also the one that puts the relationship in danger the least.

The point is that she didn’t take action at all, even when Hasuki took a headshot at Inuzuka with a sword. At that point, you need to get desperate and try a tackle or something, not stand and watch as your boyfriend takes a sword to the face. Whether or not it would work wouldn’t stop Inuzuka from trying to make a difference.

Yeah, as Frontier said she was basically the Damsel in Distress instead of actually doing anything. That’s what really irks me, and is the whole basis of my worries about Persia being along for the ride while it’s Inuzuka who risks life and limb and even reputation for their relationship. This should be a team thing, and it’s hard to take someone seriously when they’re just observing and not participating.
Plus, it doesn’t help that Persia randomly fell off a cliff in the middle of this mess.......Damsel in Distress indeed. Yeesh. -_-

Aby and Somali debuted this episode and I find them ....weird. Looks like we got a rivalry between him and Romio already. I'm rooting for Romio though. Next episode should be entertaining with the actual festival competition.

2018-11-02, 17:45

Ofc our Inuzuka is far more innocent than our Percia. He's talking about lunchboxes and she thinks he is talking about "it". And when he is mumbling about how Percia will do anything he says, she gets worried he gonna ask something weird but we can all guess it gonna be something harmless yet again. Poor Scott is so unimportant he dosn't even get a proper flashback before a tree finishes him and he ends as Char's plaything for the day. xD
But man, Percia's cooking must be really horrible if even the lovestruck Inuzuka would yell out the truth each time he ate a cookie from hell.

So here we got the "White Cat Maru", basically a bishie with a girl fanclub with a dumb but superstrong "girlfriend". I guess he also planned some cheats for this sport festival just like Maru and his gang.

Inuzuka and Percia training 3-leg racing was adorable. Too much stimulation for Inuzuka, that screaming in bed was great. xD

Since only one can be MVP and Percia wants to become MVP to prove her countrymen and ofc her own father that she can do anything a male heir could do as well means Inuzuka will lose to her in the festival. Because no matter how much he wants to have a free wish her happiness is more important to him than his own desires. Only question is if he will be seen as another traitor again like last year or if it will be something more heroic.

Not bad, they actually hyped this tournament enough that there's a feel of the stakes and excitement.

Poor Juliet got injured. I think she shouldn't of pushed herself too hard in the first place. At least she's got others like Char and Romio who cares about her. However, Aby and his true nature is really to be blame there.

Pretty intense competitive energy this week. It goes to show how dedicated everyone is to become MVP.

Frontier

2018-11-09, 20:21

I love how Romio's idea for what he plans to make Juliet do once he makes MVP is have her call him by his first name. Inuzuka is such a maiden at heart :D.

Not that I deny the Black Doggies have some cute girls (other then Hasuki), but it was kind of noticeable that the White Cats had all main characters as cheerleaders while the Black Doggies only had Hasuki and some no-name girls. Makes me wonder when the twin lollies are going to pop up :eyebrow:.

I have to wonder how Juliet was imagining introducing Romio to her mother in the future. "Mother, this is my secret boyfriend Inuzuka! He's from those crass and barbaric Black Doggies and makes me dress up as a boy sometimes" :eyespin:.

I feel like Juliet and Hasuki going head-to-head was something that kind of needed to happen. I mean, they're from rival sides and are rivals in love, and I doubt Hasuki has really sorted out exactly how she feels about Persia, so I think they both kind of needed a match against one another. Not that I think they were prepared for how it would end up :(.

"It's not sexual harassment during a match!" Nice save Scott, nice save :p.

I wasn't expecting Aby to have a bit of a tragic backstory of both him and Somali being bullied when they were younger. I mean, he's still a tool, but it's nice that there's more to him then just being a tool. I'm guessing he and Somali were each other's only friends back then, which is probably why Somali is so dedicated to Aby despite how he treats and uses her. Not that she doesn't give him a good pounding if he pays attention to other girls ;).

Romio and Maru finally working together for once was a fun sight, and amusing considering they both were motivated by the same person even if they have different genders in mind :heh:.

Romio challenging Juliet for a final match was a good move on several levels. He gives Juliet the chance to redeem her honor in front of her peers (and mother), and he also justifies it to the Black Doggies by bringing up their own honor at stake :cool:.

Poor Juliet got injured. I think she shouldn't of pushed herself too hard in the first place.
It's kind of amazing that she was even able to still stand and run for a bit after Somali hit her leg. I mean, on-top of her being super-strong, she also wears cleats :upset:.

"Once I get MVP, I'll ask Persia to call me by my first name, Romio!"
Oh Romio, oh Romio why are you so innocent? XD
I bet Persia would be so disappointed if he gets MVP and then ask her that instead of a kiss or more. Remember "Let's make one"? xD

Aby using Somali to do his dirty work, what an ass. An understandable ass given he comes from a high society which believe women cannot rule like men and most likely treat people who aren't as beautiful or smart like trash because of their whole "nobility must be perfect" attitude. If Aby was the reason why Somali found respect and happiness I can see why she calls him her god, same with why Aby is ready to do anything to get to top.

Poor Persia, she was really crushed with this lose. That she managed to overtake Hasuki even with such an injury is quite incredible. So happy Inuzuka gave her a chance to redeem herself and to show everyone what she got! Also given the preview we all know what Inuzuka gonna grab during the battle. Poor boy will die of blood-lose. And of gods, her mother is watching too...
"Hello, mother. This is my secret boyfriend Inuzuka, a black dog delinquent who makes me dress up as a boy and who grabbed my chest in front of a ten thousand audience." Yeah that "down of the road" meeting gonna be fun, I can already tell. xDDD

I mean, I don't know if it was because they didn't want to show Romio hitting/fighting a girl (I mean, hasn't he directly hit Juliet for their "act?"), just that Aby was the more direct target and the goal of the game which is why Romio took him out.

It would be some weird mental gymnastics for Inuzuka not to blame the person who did the actual deed, so he could’ve taken them both out to accomplish the goal of winning the game.

I would have to say... there would probably be plenty of negative backlash from fans if Romio actually straight punched a girl in this anime. So the writers have to put all the hurt into the guy who plotted the act.Very much strongly related to my point.

Meanwhile Accelerator Falcon Punches Awaki and Touma is “Illusion Shatter” punching multiple women, and nobody complains. (and these are far from the only examples)

It’s irking. Anybody who deserves to get hit should get hit, regardless of where their reproductive organs are. I guess we’re still a long ways away from gender equality when we still have people and shows like this. :(

So, sure, Romio lost his leadership of the Black Doggies, the respect of his classmates, and his room got turned into a storage shed...but he got to jump to second base with his girlfriend. All in all, I'd call that a win :D.

Poor Scott...just, poor Scott :upset:.

Juliet using her "order" to make Romio dance with her was really sweet, especially when she agreed to do an Eastern dance (which was as hilarious as it was sweet). It also seems like her feelings for Inuzuka are growing more and more to the point where she wants to see him just because she wants to :).

As if Hasuki didn't have enough to deal with with her unrequited love for Inuzuka, but now she's the new Black Doggies leader. Granted, it's not surprising since she's probably the most popular person in the dorm and she knows how to motivate everyone when she needs to. And now I've just realized that the heads of both sides are girls who also happen to have feelings for the same guy :eyespin:.

Apparently, Persia's disguise was so good that the other girls didn't recognize her in boy clothes. That's impressive imo.

I just love how they have Rina Hidaka and Yui Ogura voicing twin loli's since they're probably the two most prolific loli seiyuu in the industry. And it even looks like they're playing into their typecasts with those roles with Rina voicing the more energetic one and Yui voicing the more pensive and somber one ;).

I also though Daisuke Ono was a good choice for the glasses-wearing Black Doggies prefect. When I think of someone who can embody the strength and dignity of a Japanese male, I usually think Daisuke Ono :cool:.

I thought Inuzuka's situation was offset by seeing his relationship with Persia grow and to see how much more dedicated to Inuzuka that Persia is becoming, to where she would go to him for a dance or go out of her way to see him "behind enemy lines" and then take care of him when he was sick :).

That moment when you're so flat that you actually have to tell someone they're touching your breast because they wouldn't know otherwise :heh:.

Wow, the White Cats must be really dedicated to Juliet if they would go to the trouble of doing all that to give her a place to sit, although they should've seen Char coming :upset:.

It was nice to see Maru go along with his friends for once. He's got a secret soft spot ;).

Inuzuka really is a good guy. He sees two little girls with no friends and who want to have fun like the rest of the kids and he goes out of his way to give that to them in a way where they can still feel like they're doing their job. And it won him points with his girlfriend ;).

I do feel bad about Juliet having to sit in that barrel the whole time. I wouldn't have blamed her if she had been legitimately angry :twitch:.

I wonder if the guy Kochou has her eye on is Airu? I would have to assume as much since he seems like the only guy she would regularly interact with (aside from Romio) :eyebrow:.

I had a feeling Airu and Romio were connected in some way, and it turns out they're actually brothers. Which is kind of amusing since Romio is voiced by Yuki Ono and Airu is voiced by Daisuke Ono (although I don't think they're actually related), and Romio is the Josuke to Airu's Jotaro. Actually, we've got Tomokazu Sugita (Maru) and I think Kazuyuki Okitsu in this cast too, so all of the current JoJo's except Giorno are in this :p.
In Episode 1, why would Juliet accept Romeo's confession so easily? Unlike Romeo who has a crush on her since very young, she seems to have zero interest in him until the confession happened. Juliet accepting her enemy as her boyfriend way-way too easily. Even Naruto's talk no jutsu doesn't work that well.
I think his confession, saving her from Maru and this thugs, and then declaring he would change the world for her is why she agreed to go out with him in the first place, and she's been slowly genuinely falling for him over the course of their relationship.

Inuzuka has so few friends that even Hazuki brought the Ant lie. xD
So now we got to the Prefects and how different they are to the students, they are basically police and politician in one status. And it seems there will be an election for new prefects as well. Given how Inuzuka wants to change the world to accept his relationship with Percia he should apply to that. If he wants to change the world, he needs to start with this school.

Man, what a hectic date those two had. And then it was interrupted in the middle of it so that Inuzuka could play with two lolis while leaving his date in a barrel. xDDD
Those two are so adorable with Inuzuka having his heart shown on his face and Percia appreciating his good sides even if it meant to have to watch a firework through a barrel's hole. <3

That big bro smells like trouble, super-strict big brother vs rebellious young brother, not a good match up.

@Sixth
I think Percia already had an interest in Romeo but for her it was their rival-relationship since childhood. So him teasing her as a kid because he had feelings for her did made her notice him, just not in a good way. Him then saving her coupled with her situation that in the West girls cannot become heirs and males are seen as superior to girls hurt her a lot and then he comes around spills out his feelings in what should have been a duel to see who is stronger/better and even declares to change the world to make her dream come true. I think you can see the moment where Percia fell for Romeo but ofc, it was not like with Romeo who deeply loved Percia from the start. Her feelings had to grow and will continue to grow and Romeo is busy to water those feelings and seeds of love as much as he can. That confession was just the start of a blooming relationship.

So, uh...Teria was sleeping under Romio's bed the whole night? I guess that's some dedication for you :twitch:.

I love how that officer was absolutely not fooled by White Cats Inuzuka. I almost kind of wish more of the main cast had gotten to see it just to find out who'd buy it and who wouldn't :p.

Romio lingerie shopping with Char was funny. I couldn't tell if it was amusing because we had Persia's best friend and boyfriend arguing over the right underwear for her or because Romio's girlish heart made it come off like two girls discussing underwear for a mutual friend :heh:.

I guess it makes sense that the tension between the Black Doggies and White Cats at the school would be shared among the populace of the island :uhoh:.

It was nice to see some development in Romio and Char's relationship as Char comes to truly realize how much Romio really loves Juliet and will do anything for her. I doubt they could ever be friends, and Char still seems dead-certain their relationship is headed for an inevitable disaster, but she still can't help but feel respect for Inuzuka and conflicted over what to do :upset:.

I have to imagine Romio just used the whole "crashing Persia's birthday" thing as an excuse to see her on her birthday all these years. But I also have to imagine he didn't realize he was really ruining it that much otherwise he would already feel really guilty about it :eyespin:.

I was wondering how Romio would address his brother. Romio strikes me as the "Nii-san" type :).

All endcard artists so far:

Ep 7 - Tiv (Masamune-kun's Revenge)

Ep 8 - Akasaka Aka (Kaguya Wants to be Confessed To)

Ep 9 - Peach-Pit (Shugo Chara, Rozen Maiden)

Quite a few notable names here.

Quite some names for sure. Are there many shows where end-credits pics are drawn by other mangakas? Do those get into the show by demand from the show producers or by request from the mangakas themselves because they like the show?

Gotta say I loved this Char and Romio episode where both got all hyper about what kind of underwear fits Persia the best, who in return got a chill at the dorm. xD
Char's flashback showed why Persia is so important to her, pretty much her only friend and Persia wasn't even seen as a "friend" by everyone else but only as an attendee. No wonder Char wants to prevent anything bad happening to Persia. Liked the little bits of world politics, that there are still radicals who probably would love nothing more but a full-blown war to relive their hatred for each other. Same with Char always getting her way with West officials, a teacher giving her a rare leave without a good reason unlike Inuzuka or a police officer who accepts an "West Escort" who clearly was a Touwan Student. The West is really authority-hearing.

The part with the library was so kyyyuuutee~ <3
Persia was so precious with her invitation and her request of a pair accessory. I totally get Inuzuka, I would have wanted to hold her as well. <3 <3 <3
But boy, you wrecked her birthday parties ALL those years before because you were too awkward to tell her happy birthday without throwing a cake into her face? What are you, five? ^^;
Man, if I were Persia Inuzuka would have to buy one hell of a birthday present/birthday presents for future birthdays to make up for all those sad memories of her special day always turning into a food war between West and Touwan students because of Inuzuka raiding her party. <.<

Ah crap, prefect head big bro Ai-chan is there! oO
I bet he already has some clue what his little brother is up too and I am pretty damn sure he will not be supportive of it at all. After all there are only 3 episodes left (Noooooo~ I want more, this is real good Rom-com, so lovely, so nice, so warm, I want mooooooreeee~) so we need to prepare for the final which need obstacles for Inuzuka and Persia to overcome for their relationship to stand firm.

Char is easily my favorite character in the show now. Hard to predict what's on her mind most of the time and she always brings in entertaining moments.

Idc how to feel about the overall plot though. It honestly feels rather lacking lately but that cliffhanger this week was kinda interesting.

I know these because have read the manga, but it's still fun to watch Inu and Char try to find a present in town.

Is that town mixed people from both countries? Because some are friendly while others are hostile to Char.

Is that town mixed people from both countries? Because some are friendly while others are hostile to Char.

I assume that people from both nations live there, but seeing how big tensions are, I guess there must some sort of segregation or self-segregation, resulting in different streets/areas inhibited mostly by one nation. I also guess Police or other communal services have to have representatives from both sides too.

I just think of island as of anime version of Bosnia and Herzegovina or Northern Ireland :heh:

That is an acceptable comparison in my opinion. Although the situation is not as hostile, because people aren't shooting each other.

People currently aren't shooting each other there too, and maybe Touwa and West had war or some unrest in the far past.

There are some anime where famous mangaka/illustrators do the endcards; Sangatsu no Lion was one of them. They had names like :

- Hara Tetsuo (Fist of the North Star)

- Miura Kentarou (Berserk)

- Vofan (Monogatari series)

- Moto Hagio (Heart of Thomas; old-school shoujo manga)

- Suetsugu Yuki (Chihayafuru)

Last episode was a bit more dramatic than I expected this romcom would be.

Well, West and Touwa are really close to all-out-war, they just didn't do it yet due the peace treaty and ofc because it would only end with one side being destroyed till nothing is left. Kinda reminds me of some really hateful relationships between some nations in Europe.

Ai-chan (lol) is really tough on his little brother, wood on butt hurts, I know that myself...

Poor Romio just wanted to spend Persia's birthday with her, why does everyone has to be against it/them? D:
I really liked Persia's frustration about being unable to protect her boyfriend from harm and that she is the reason he got hurt. Same for Romio's stubbornness and readiness to suffer just to see Persia. Since there are only 2 episodes left it feels like Ai-chan will be the "final" boss for this season. I hope it gets a 2nd one, I really liked this rom-com, it was very comfy, funny and lovely so far, better than most other rom-coms this year which were mostly "isekai harems wish fulfillment" shows with OP MCs anyway.

Also whoever drew the ED pic at the end of the latest series really likes butts. XD

Stark700

2018-12-08, 12:32

Man, I wish characters would leave Romio alone but given the context of the plot, that doesn't seem possible. Airu is one tough guy to deal with.

Probably the toughest challenge he had to go through so far in the show. Some of this week's episode wasn't easy to watch.

James Rye

2018-12-11, 20:36

Man, the White Cats sure make Persia's birthday into an entire performance. I wonder if she enjoys it at all, beyond appreciating the sentiment :eyebrow:?

Was that a four-way Kabe Don Inuzuka did to Persia there? He was almost kind of projecting his crotch area towards Persia :eyespin:.

Hasuki trying to cheer up Inuzuka was really sweet. He may be a hopeless idiot, but he's the hopeless idiot she's in love with, and she really did try her best to get him out of his funk in the most adorable way possible :D.

Hasuki bashing her head in for having impure thoughts was such an Inuzuka moment :p.

Poor Hasuki's breasts. Poked and then slapped in the same episode :uhoh:.

Char delivering Persia's cookies to Inuzuka was a nice showing of her changing perspective on Romio and his relationship with Juliet :).

Abby returning as a bearded hobo was hilarious. I really didn't see that coming. I guess it's what he deserves for his actions in the Sports Festival, and once again Somali's feelings for him end up being his undoing :heh:.

So it looks like to get to his girlfriend Romio will have to go through the elites of the White Cats, including an eccentric representative who tells bad jokes and annoys the heck out of his fellow Prefect :twitch:.

Nice, they didn't had an original ending and kept true to the story from the manga. Rosaries saved the day and now the goal is clear, Inuzuka aims to become a prefect and make the school accept that Black Dogs and White Cats can be friends and even lovers. And our boy even brought a ring for Persia! Look at that man! Making his future wife all happy and giggly! And then he goes and dies due happiness because Persia called him her boyfriend.

A pretty good watch. It overall worked and the female characters were cute and fun to watch. It also ended in a fairly smooth way.

Though to be honest, there wasn't enough focus on the countries/families fighting for power-ish setting for me to feel the need to refer to Romeo and Juliet. And Romeo wasn't surrounded by females like this. So... yeah.
And of course, the animation quality kinda choked near the end.

Oh, and I really liked the OP and ED.

Personally I can imagine more and more people will learn about secret, but for different reasons, like receiving help or befriending Julio, it will become open secret. So after unveiling it most people will just brush it aside "Pfff, we already know". :heh:

Also it would be funny if it caused a "free for all" brawl instead typical dorm vs dorm one. :heh:

So not only did he get to wish Juliet a genuine Happy Birthday, he got to hear her finally say that she loves him. Pretty good day for Romio-kun ;).

Let's be honest, in an honest-to-goodness duel of cuteness, Hasuki would have totally beaten Rex over Maru's tsundere routine. Just plop Inuzuka next to her and watch the adorableness go from there :D.

It always comes back to that bra. Y'know, looking at it more closely, it looks a little too big for Persia anyways :heh:.

A nice full-circle moment with Romio and Juliet dueling with swords again, the first time leading to the start of their relationship and the second time to protect it :).

He didn't say anything about it, but I'd like to think Airu's brief pause was a tacit acknowledgement of respect for Romio choosing to be a Prefect.

I can only imagine all the crazy stuff the twins will have Romio do now :p.

Poor Scott. Just...poor Scott :eyespin:.

So I took it from that final line that the couple don't intend to call each other by their first name and until they've changed the world into one that can accept their relationship? That might be a little while off :uhoh:.
