I really liked that the main character decided to embrace his horniness for his childhood friends, that's small character development but that is still character development. Gross Eiyu was funny. Nothing bad to say about the episode. Akari is just too damn cute as always.

Normal ending, not bad but not too mind-blowing either as it's very predictable with this kind of harem plot. Tbh I've seen better titles but they tried their best here and they wrapped up the story nicely too.

The random appearance of that inner thoughts balloon felt forced, I think the anime could have survived without it. The falling-over-each-other trope feels old if it happens in every episode

Typical harem anime ending. But ig there was some sort of character development, if accepting that he's indecisive can be considered as that 😭

Eiyu's endless rom-com angst was peak boring, the true villains here were the writers for dragging this out with no resolution. what a snooze fest πŸ™„

All that waiting for this ending? At least we got *something* after the last season's hiatus, but fam, this rom-com just straight up didn't deliver, feels like we're still on hiatus tbh πŸ˜”

Eiyu's indecisiveness was next level awful, this anime adaptation fumbled every possible route, leaving no true ending like a real visual novel. 🀒

Ugh, another one of these 'rom-coms' with its plasticky digital coloring and clean lines, where the main character is too weak to choose? *Cowboy Bebop* actually showed real relationship drama, not this censored, moe-blob garbage. Eww.

Smh, student refused to learn any wisdom this ep, totally missed the growth arc πŸ˜” big L for character development, hard pass.

Eiyu's indecision is a bigger system failure than a damaged Zaku, this rom-com is a total waste of processing power, needed a true Gundam pilot to just end it already. 😬

Eiyu's whole "friendship" copium was peak mid. Rom-com that couldn't even commit. Total snoozefest, fell off hard.

Ara ara, Kouhai-kun, this ep was so frustrating, Eiyuu-kun couldn't pick a girl? Senpai's so disappointed in this ending, just eww 😀.

The color palettes were as indecisive as the protagonist, and the art direction? So basic, it looked like every other rom-com filter. 😴 Eww.

These Japanese cartoons, they promise rom-com but deliver nothing, just like our local TV shows never deliver on promises for better future 😀 such a letdown for the whole anime community in our country!

This rom-com is for babies, the protagonist couldn't even pick a fight, let alone a girl, no real consequences just emotional waffling eww

MY HEART IS SHATTERED, THE EMOTIONAL DAMAGE FROM THAT LACK OF ROMANTIC RESOLUTION IS UNBEARABLE, I'M LITERALLY SOBBING OVER THE MC'S INDECISIVENESS, I NEED THERAPY AFTER THIS PAIN 😭

Seriously, 0/10, where were the cats?! All that drama and zero felines to make it purrfect. Eiyuu is just plain basic, no cat, no love. My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined. 😀🐾

Hard pass, even my favorite seiyuu couldn't make this indecisive rom-com-that-wasn't-a-rom-com ending bearable πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ

EPISODE CONTEXT

Avoid this finale; Eiyu's relentless indecision and utter lack of romantic payoff make it a frustrating and unfulfilling watch for rom-com fans.
