you can tell this is going to be messy since the entire entertainment industry would lose it if they knew their favorite guy singer was actually a girl
benedict_blue_170
it made me laugh when ren immediately blackmailed kyohei into being her assistant after he walked in on her in the bath
eschuu
It is wild that the world thinks she is a guy, especially with how feminine she looked when Kyohei accidentally saw her without the idol clothes on
twili_287
ren going from a massive star to hiding in a messy rundown apartment with her cousin is such a classic setup and kyohei looks so stressed out
professor_birch
milk amai sounds exactly like a girl trying to play a cool male idol and it makes kyohei looking like a total mess in his tiny apartment even funnier
ranga_rover
the plot moves way too fast because the episode is only six minutes long and kyohei found out the secret before the audience could even get comfortable
matsumoto_melon_467
I grew up with the manga so seeing Ren animated is a trip and the bath scene was just as awkward as I remembered. It is a bit weird that she just showed up at Kyohei’s place after all these years but her being an idol adds a lot of pressure to keep that secret and I hope the episodes get longer
kenpachi_berserker
i was not expecting this to be so short but the reveal happened immediately and ren is actually kind of adorable even with the whole secret idol thing
raphtalia_raccoon
you really have to find the uncensored version because seeing kyohei walk in on ren while she was changing made the whole premise way more intense
fubuki_blizzard_119
catching your famous cousin in the bath within five minutes of her moving into your apartment is a wild way to start this show
schierke_the_witch_193
I knew what I was getting into with a show like this but seeing Ren hide her identity as an idol is pretty cool and then Kyohei just does that weird cream thing and my brain just stopped working for a minute because they are cousins but the whole setup for him being her assistant has me curious for more episodes
raijin_rider
That cream scene was actually terrifying because he just went for it without even asking or saying anything first
sasha_necron_157
Seeing a famous guy idol turn out to be a girl is a fun twist and having her live in that rundown place adds some stakes
midna
That reveal when he sees her changing was bound to happen but the way he reacted to it was totally insane
raiju_rider
It makes no sense how she can be a top male idol without anyone noticing, especially since Kyohei figured it out in like five minutes
shion_secretary
The cousin dynamic is already getting super messy and Ren trying to hide her identity while living in that tiny apartment is going to be a disaster
pearl
Seeing a huge idol like Ren in that rundown apartment felt so out of place and the bath reveal changed everything instantly
yoruichi_yukiko
I was totally blindsided by that cream scene, since I really was not expecting this to be one of those explicit priest slot shows
hollow_ichigo
I felt bad for Ren having to hide her identity like that and now she has to deal with Kyohei watching her every move as an assistant
hitsugaya_hyoton
Six minutes is way too short to get any real story and it feels like they just rushed straight to the fan service moments
EPISODE CONTEXT
As the series opener of an eight-episode run, this episode carries the full burden of premise establishment — there is nothing preceding it, and everything here feeds directly into the episodes ahead. It introduces Kyouhei and Ren's relationship and plants the central conflict around Ren's hidden identity, which will serve as the engine driving all subsequent story developments. Episode 2 will likely begin escalating the complications and comedic scenarios that this episode carefully sets in motion.
