| Well, there's a first time for everything including skiing in the snowy weather. About time we got another main girl making an appearance and it happens to be Sayuri this time. She's a bit different compared to Minami with her colder personality. Speaking of Minami, she seems to be skilled at skiing. Sayuri is kinda observant when talking to Tsubasa though. This episode also builds more into Tsubasa/Minami's relationship as this is another memory they made. |
 |
| In the sequence of how to get a girl all over you just by existing, this week, our protag was paired with the second hottest girl of his class over their ski trip, which for some reason is a part of their lessons, but hey that’s the least of the concerns here, I mean for whatever odd reason not only is he near all the hot girls, but is even getting the time of day from them… … to the point where they’re even sharing secrets with him, who they never shared with anyone, despite experiencing the tragedy of showing half naked skin to his loser self.. what???? Just like the main girl, this new girl too was acting overly familiar with the dude, despite this being their first interaction. I know this is a fantasy, but there are limits. And no the reason being, “they had kinda similar circumstances”, is just stupid. Good for the new girl she made friends with Fuyuki, but there’s absolutely no reason she should feel anything towards this guy. |
 |
| Looks like we've got the classic love triangle. Let's see how things play out. Tsubasa, experiencing skiing for the first time in a school class, contrasts with Minami, who is confidently self-assured. Sayuri Akino, a classmate with black hair and a neat appearance, watches their interaction with a somewhat annoyed sidelong glance. Despite Minami's desire to become friends, Sayuri maintains an indifferent expression. Tsubasa is surprised by Minami's struggle to connect with classmates. Later on, while Tsubasa and Sayuri practice together, they find it difficult to open up to each other. However, during a break, when Tsubasa goes to retrieve something from the bus, she unexpectedly encounters Sayuri wiping off sweat in her underwear. It's really nice to see Tsubasa putting in the effort to bring Akino and Fuyuki closer. Fuyuki stepping in to help Akino with her skiing troubles just made the whole situation better. It's cool how Fuyuki came to the rescue, and it's kinda funny that the teacher, who's been absent, doesn't have much to say. The friendship between them is so heartwarming. And Fuyuki showing a bit of jealousy adds a fun twist. |

| I've never gone skiing either, I would like to try it at least once in my lifetime. So apparently this OP is really popular on music streaming services. Gyaru in anime most of the time have bright hair, so Sayuri having dark hair is quite cool. 10:35 Oh, are these cold noodles? I love them! (please correct me if I'm wrong) Lol apparently in the manga the game was "Super Smash Plus" and there were many characters from other Shonen Jump+ manga, like Spy Family, Jigokuraku and 'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess Fuyuki and Sayuri becoming friends is wholesome Cool episode. I kinda wish there was only one heroine, but oh well. |

| Akino need a jacket with bad insulation. More cold, less sweat. Shueido Witch sounds like a cooler name than Nintendo Switch. |
 |
| Sayuri seems a nice girl once you get to know her and I hope her and Minami get to know more about each other soon |
| Quite the unique personality for the new gal, she is an interesting character. A pretty fun episode overall. Nice mix of sweet and funny moments. |
| For a gal Sayuri has really unique personality and I like her, amazing episode |
| Ok Sayuri has officially saved this series and piqued my interest lol. Best girl easily. Needed some more spice in here badly and she delivered. Not only does she have a very unique design for a gyaru, but her personality as well. Defying usual tropes like not hitting shiki when he saw her wiping herself down in the bus or chasing him off. Instead, demanding to eat lunch next to him and playing her switch lol. I already love her. The face she made when Shiki didn’t know about her fave game was so real. Been there many times. Really cute that she started geeking out when he said he was interested in learning about the game. I love when girls are really passionate about stuff and it comes through when they’re describing it. Turns out Sayuri and Shiki have a lot in common and I enjoyed their trip up to the summit. Sayuri was pretty vulnerable today and honest about her insecurities, respect. It was probably so nice to be able to latch onto shiki since he’s also not really got friends in class due to him transferring. Wouldn’t catch me skiing down a mountain, too many horror stories, but luckily Sayuri and Shiki’s first skiing trip went well and Fuyuki was able to help Sayuri stop lol. Very cute end to the episode with Sayuri and Shiki knocked out together on the bus. Looking forward to more of them and the burgeoning love triangle |

| Wait, she didn't hit the mc after seeing her change and blame him!? Is that even possible... Sorry Fuyuki but Sayuri is best girl, didn't expect her to be into games. Ending was cute too when they were sleeping together. |
| just as expected, the extra girl was completely unnecessary and boring. I feel this show would've been better off staying a regular romance instead of a love triangle/harem(?) but oh well. still enjoyable as long as the blonde girl gets some screen time |
well akino and shiki became friends also made fuyuki jealous  also this confirms my intuition shiki really has the attributes of a harem protagonist |
 |
| The new girl is lovely, more cuter than the fmc personality wise While this episode is not bad but typical harem romcom they're gonna somehow bs their way in making the second/any girl immediately attaracted to our idiotic mc and spill their private secrets or something |

| Akino already has my interest, partially because she's a gamer girl, which I do like. =P Still, I enjoyed her interactions with Tsubasa. I'm glad she defied the usual tropes by not hitting Tsubasa when he got on the coach as she patting herself down to get rid of her sweat, which he got a good look of her bare midriff and bra before profusely apologising. After that, the two began to talk a lot to each other, which led to the two becoming good friends. Not only did they have a good time playing the Super Smash Bros clone on her "Shuiedo Witch", but Tsubasa also helped Akino with her skiing, with the exception of knowing how to stop. Whoops... Thankfully, Fuyuki was there to help save Akino from any disaster. I do love seeing how jealous Fuyuki was when she saw both Akino and Tsubasa sleeping on each other on the coach back home. XD I enjoyed this episode and I do see a love triangle forming at this rate. I hope it won't be long before the third girl from the OP joins in the fray. |

So apparently this OP is really popular on music streaming services.
Gyaru in anime most of the time have bright hair, so Sayuri having dark hair is quite cool.
10:35 Oh, are these cold noodles? I love them! (please correct me if I'm wrong)
Lol apparently in the manga the game was "Super Smash Plus" and there were many characters from other Shonen Jump+ manga, like Spy Family, Jigokuraku and 'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess
Fuyuki and Sayuri becoming friends is wholesome
Cool episode. I kinda wish there was only one heroine, but oh well.

| @Embient Skiing is fun but proper instruction is an absolute must, just whatever you do, do not follow the example set here !!! |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| For the expected skiing episode, it was alright. Our boy Tsubasa meets Sayuri, another one of the main girls for the first time and I felt like it was off. She was extremely open with Tsubasa in their first ever conversation... Like what? Even after he finds her half naked? Towards the end, Minami and Sayuri become friends and that's chill. |
| A skiing trip instead of going to class sounds awesome, I wonder if they actually do that or not lol. And we got an introduction for Akino in this one, and there’s a bit more to her than I expected, I was mainly surprised by the sweat thing, reminds me of a character from Komi lol. And of course you have the gamer aspect as well which was hinted at the end of the last episode, I thought it was just gonna be mobile games but it looks like she’s into this show’s version of smash bros which is pretty cool, now I wonder if she could take on Tomozaki at Tackfam lol. And our boy Tsubasa got in with her just by forgetting his chopsticks, that was a very lucky scene to stumble upon. And I’m not sure why they translated what he’s calling Akino to “professor” because I think he was saying “master”, but I guess either way gets the point across. And I also want to point out how nice Akino’s design is, she was described as a proper gyaru but I can’t really tell much gyaru going on, but that is a good combo nonetheless that I haven’t seen before. And Fuyuki took a bit of a backseat in this one but instead she was being the rescue gyaru of the ski resort which lead to her saving Akino at the end, and with this Fuyuki finally managed to get in with her too. Definitely looking forward to seeing more of her! |
| Sayuri = the new best girl of the series? perhaps. the ski resort where they've been to in this episode is Northern Arc Resort |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| silver link ain't cooking. gamer girl is neat but pretty sure it won't amount to much so that's rough. |
 |
| In this episode we get to meet Akino-san, her personality is really different from what you'd think from her looks. She's the loner gamer type despite the gyaru appearance. She was really cute once she opened up to Tsubasa. But I have to agree with @Softhenic03 here, Tsubasa is blessed by the gods or something. That or his hat is a magical hot chick magnet! TheColonel76 said: A skiing trip instead of going to class sounds awesome, I wonder if they actually do that or not lol. I don't know about Japan but here in Switzerland, we did get 2-3 days a year where we got to go skiing instead of going to class. |
| Hmm, so it looks like Sayuri will be a rival towards Minami but Minami still seems happy to have made a new friend. Meanwhile Tsubasa sees Sayuri wipe herself down and then has lunch with her lol. At least this should spice this series up a bit. |
| Not gonna lie really fun episode. There are lots of Shiki and Akino moments this time. It feels really cute, Akino who wants to have lots of friends, now become a reality I'm sure. Now that she is good friends with Fuyuki, Shiki has great for his role this time. Lets go my boy just get harem already, one more.  |

| Introvert gal who's a gamer and also sweats a lot? Noice! Minami still best girl tho. |
| Akino is mad cute!! |
| Hot and cute gamer gyaru voiced by Yumiri Hanamori, I love her already <3 <3 <3..... Don't do this to me, this show doesn't look like one where all these best girls "win". Mountain rescue gyaru Fuyuki was so cute in her ski-gear. Tsubasa is growing on me. Him apologizing so loudly to the teacher was hilarious. The ending with Akino and Tsubasa sleeping next to each other was pretty cute. |
| Gyarus!! Gyarus are my lifeblood!! I NEED MORE!! |
 |
| Good Lord, it's like Sayuri was tailor-made to my character preferences |
| He made a new friend in Sayuri. |

| A snowy episode. We meet Akino, a classmate of Tsubasa, whom Fuyuki wants to befriend. Not knowing how to ski, Tsubasa and Akino end up practicing together and share an embarrassing moment. Tsubasa sweats a lot, feeling embarrassed as she falls behind others in sports. She's also a gaming enthusiast and becomes Tsubasa's teacher. I've noticed Tsubasa having many first experiences, making me think she might have been socially repressed. In the end, it's nice to see Akino giving Fuyuki a chance to be her friend, and witnessing Fuyuki's happiness is quite heartwarming. I'm not sure if a love triangle will develop, but jealousy is definitely present. |
 |
| I'm beginning to understand why Akino is the more popular girl. Not only does she look normal she sweats profusely. What's not to like. ;) |
| Tsubasa x Sayuri might not be so bad! habitual sweating girls are also good huh! not just gyarus! lolz! 5/5. |
 |
| New girl is here. I know that these kinds of series are meant to be self inserts for your average Japanese viewer, but they really should have given MC-kun some sort of skill/appearance/back story that would somehow explain how the likes of Akino would fall for him almost instantly. Being kind and a good listener is not nearly enough even in a story as basic as this one. Oh well, I suppose he did kind of show some backbone and responsibility there at the end but the bar is high. I need to adjust my "anime" logic accordingly |
