So this is what it's like to absolutely dislike an MC who is the pinnacle of beta cucklord.

Cringe MC. Currently watching this for the waifus and the character development. Yeah "development" (2 years of serializations and just a minor development lol).

edit: maybe I just dislike his personality. man, grow some balls!

Mami is bad news. That girl is dangerous...

The main character ought to change his name to Kuzu and be over with it. No backbone whatsoever, even as her rental girlfriend stood out for him.

On the other hand, Chizuru was amazing.

That dining scene was hard to watch. Why in the fuck did he just let Mami talk shit about him? Like even after your "girlfriend" stood up for you, you proceed to stand up for Mami, and fucking accept what she said, like holy shit, Kazuya, are you the first human invertebrate or some shit. Also, why is Mami even talking like that to him in the first place, yeah, he got another girlfriend after your ass left him, stay off his dick, and go find someone else too.

Also that finale scene. She's all like "I had no idea you had such a manly side too you" and then proceeds to invite him to her house. I mean, It's so obvious that she is just trying to manipulate him, and I guarantee it, he's gonna fall for it, and probably get dumped again, or used.

One thing the anime should put more emphasis on is that he's still in love with Mami (and he would do anything to get her back). One jerking off scene in his room wasn't probably enough to convey this thing to most of the viewers.

The main character is meant to be unlikeable and hopeless in the beginning (and he still does pretty questionable things even in later chapters). I would even say it's on purpose to spark reactions like these. But he gradually changes through the time and while still acting silly at times, he can get his shit together and be dependable in times when it's really needed.

I do wonder how long is the MC is going to grow some balls, I thought he was pathetic but now I'm convince he is a bitter pathetic loser who don't deserve to be "save" by Chizuru all the time

I see well those guys are just idiotic but this one he is a bitter and ungrateful loser, so since he has little development I think it's going to be hard for me to enjoy this anime

The first episode was truly great and funny, but this episode...especially the dinner scene, was really hard to watch.
I know that's his personality etc but watching her talking s** about Ichinose, and then she even left and he didn't go after her, fml. So hard to watch...

The whole scene where he forgot that he had to visit his grandma, this is getting a little bit way too real.

But that ending said it all, his ex is just manipulating him and he can't see that, while Chizuru clearly sees that.

It was a great episode but it was still hard to watch, Chizuru is carrying this 100%.
I do wonder how things would have ended if she didn't save him when his grandma came... Maybe that would help him man-up, while that doesn't happen he will continue lying. And it will be interesting to see how Chizuru will react to everything that's coming in the next episode...

Almost forgot, the OP had a few tweets talking apparently about the mc and Chizuru, i do wonder if those were real tweets by someone from the anime or they were made up for the OP.

Yikes. If Kazuya wasn't already over his ex, the moment where she spilled all his personal stuff in front of everybody should have been the ultimate turn off and a red flag. I'm really hoping for some major development with him, I'm not a fan of the pathetic protagonist. I love Chizuru though! Hoping she smacks some sense in Kazuya !

Had to drop this. Having read the manga, the direction and pacing is too absurd and terrible. The ending where mami badmouth kazuya was terribly executed. It was such an intense and serious moment but they use funny ost and jokes direction. What a terrible person who is the director of this anime

im seriously judging you right now

He feels natural, he's fun and he's grandma's boy. I enjoy watching a loser like him much more than I enjoy an edgy asshole like Hachiman or a perfect bishounen shoujo lead. He has a lot of room for character development and I'm in for it.

Okay but this show and Oregairu aren't shoujo as a few others already pointed out.

Edit: Also everyone rightfully shitting on Mami but Kazuya's friends are also truly awful people. Like they're almost as bad as the MC's friends in DXD.

Your ex decides to break up with you on her own, but when you have a new partner, she suddenly becomes salty and jealous. I'm glad to see that gender relationship in Japan are not at all different from Russia, lol.

For a long time I could not understand why I am so familiar with Chizuru's voice. It's Aqua! Ironically, the useless goddess suddenly became the most helpful girl on the show.

if you're not reading the manga you better read it. the manga is better than the anime because there really remove some small detailed in the manga.

In the manga grandma (Kinoshita, Nagomi) is actually escape from the hospital she just want to go his grandson to see his (Rented) girlfriend and Kinoshita, Kazuo (Kazuya's father) Went to the apartment to take back grandma back to the hospital And Kazuya's father he see that he giving a money to Ichinose, Chizuru

But I still going to watch this anime

This shit is so hard to watch. It's so cringey I have to pause every now and then, especially at the dining scene. MC is so pathetic and a real simp. And his friends are total trash too. I'll probably keep watching this to see how the relationship between the MC and Chizuru will develop, but unless he has some character development I doubt it will be more bearable.

Is this what is called a destiny? Unexpected coincidence, same campus, same apartment, oh shit. Besides that it seems that Kazuya was forced to keep a secret about their relationship.

I thought Chizuru would reject Kazuya, all of this was only for grandma. Kazuya is masturbating, oh shit. I thought it would be a fun party but what the heck is this atmosphere.

They're called clichés and Chizuru is a tsundere as evidenced by her speaking up for Kazuya. Kazuya didn't rub one off. Chizuru knocked on his door before that. How is the atmosphere of a room in which one's ex-girlfriend is meeting one's girlfriend supposed to be? Tense.

Veterans are abler than recruits. Kazuya's grandmother saw through their breakup from the start, but in the end Chizuru's heart was softened and went to help him. And then it is the plot of his ex. However, the character of this girl is so bad that she said a lot of embarrassing things about Kazuya in front of others. Finally Chizuru couldn't stand it and took his side but Kazuya showed an attitude of "I'm useless". Oh no! What a good-for-nothing Kazuya is! Again, focusing on Chizuru (and Mami) in the previous episodes is Ok. And the next episode is Mizugi-kai! Looking forward to it!

I'm starting to really dislike Kazuya. He's a very, very pathetic person. He acts carelessly without considering others' feelings. I also don't like Mami at all. Chizuru is a lot better than her. Let's see if they redeem her.

I don't know, it's 2020. And hiding your identity with only glasses is still a thing. I mean I know they just follow the manga, but I think the studio could take the liberty there to make it less obvious disguise.

You know it was kinda obvious from the first episode. Somehow I could just tell Mami is a low class chick. I known hundreds, and learned of countless more in our world that string dudes alone or use them or waste a mans time like she did to the MC.

At this point the MC has one redeeming quality and this is his grandmother. I can understand the feeling of male hopelessness and the lies to achieve a bit of self respect, but his lack of anything resembling a backbone is off putting. The grandma in the hospital lies are cute but the drinking group was pathetic. No respect for fake date, none for himself, and apparently none for the ex girlfriend. The series has to get better but at this juncture, it is "movie low point." 6/10 and teetering on the ledge.

"You're going to stay homeless for a while now," is the first lewd joke in an anime that has landed for me in a long, long while.

Assuming he doesn't get involved again, which, from the OP it looks like he unfortunately does, I'd say Kazuya dodged a major bullet in this ex of his. Seems like a real... not nice lady.
