Yeah, we know Ami is hot AF but she's so annoying!!! People like her is really undesirable.

Taiga was amazing in this episode! It's good how they portrait her insecurities and dilemmas of her age in a fun way.

As I said, she's pretty but I have no idea if her interest in him is real. I really doubt so. He could be just a caprice for her. It'd be really sad if someone ends up with such a fake person...

Please Taiga, just beat Ami with your power, blow her away.
Wow, that declaration was intense.
Ryuuji is annoying too, why the fuck can't he say to Ami's face to stop her lame ass acting once and for all, this is ruining this great anime, stupid Ami.

So, this is where it begins. Them two developing their feelings for each other. Lol.

Kushieda, I'm holding onto this anime for you, alright!?!? Lmao. Jesus. I lost it when she drew eyes on her eyelid and she's asleep. Goddamnit.

At least Taiga can swim now with a whatchamacallit.

"Ryuuji is mine!" Cringe.

"Maybe he's trying to take a shit, but the shit just won't come out."

I hope it isn't a drawn out process for them to realize how they feel and get together. The back and forth is fine but I don't want it to overstay its welcome.

Nice development/interaction for Ryuji and both girls.

I suppose Taiga has a powerful kick from years of practice kicking people..

Seems like we got to the stage where she realises she has conflicting feelings. Probably got that still to come with Ryuuji when Minorin and Ami get more development

Minori is much better here than my first impression from episode 3. I laughed when she was "paying attention" in class lmao.

More development between Taiga and Ryuuji. I like Ami being humiliated by Taiga lol. That part caught me off-guard.

----------------------------------------
It's Taiga vs. Ami!
And Ami's chosen discipline has won.. so Taiga is learning to swim.
It's an impossible mission, when you consider she can't put her head into the water.
Of course she has to miss every chance to get in contact with Kitamura :v
And she does not lack in power, as we can see at the pool xD

!! Hahaha Taiga owned Ami at the start :D !!

Taiga orz on Ryuuji after rescuing him? That scene could lead to a lot more misunderstandings.
Her reasoning, that they go on vacation together was nice. Because Ryuuji is her dog xD


i so trough her whenbi so this first time, that the pool scene was her confession of love done in emotional state spur of a moment so ofc she later brush it off by saying hes my dog, she is in denial

Wow, what a cheap move of Taiga... the little respect I still had left for her is gone with this as well. Not only is she a bitch, she's also a liar. Of course she was the one who had to save Ryuuji to show that she's "best girl"... The biggest reason to watch this show are the two other girls at this point who don't get enough screentime.

so I am sure now that Takasu will never be with Kushieda
probably same for Taiga with Kitamura

so this is one of the first never happy ending love comedy romances that I hate... harem is better because there always is happy ending... and actually there was nothing that made me laugh since first episode....

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

When Taiga says "What? Were you expecting something else?" it almost felt like she was saying it to the audience, that we shouldn't expect anything else because the show has a long way to go.

Its also funny how little agency Ryuji has in the whole ordeal. Its not his choice where he goes for summer.

Such a boring predictable story that only not easily forgettable moments require really hard drama .

I thought she confessed there. The fact that Ryuji got hit was something I did not expect and then Taiga saved him and said that he is her’s. That was nice. The group is going to Ami’s beach house.

Now they're placing bets on who's going to win this fight, The way Ryuuji teaches Taiga for the first time was like a dad teaching his daughter amusing to see this new sight, Very generous of Kitamura to give them tickets for the public pool Taiga had her chance there with Kitamura as well but she didn't take it that teasing punch Ryuuji made I thought Taiga would strike back

Wait her training really did pay off more so that she's actually good at this and fast with her feet I'm surprised she not using her arms yet that could be a big boost maybe because being flat-chested helps her being hydrodynamic, A lot of emotions coming from Taiga back there that was intense

They got into a fight with each other this doesn't look good but Ryuuji always supporting Taiga as always, Taiga is a beast out there lol way to go, This cramp really cost her but Ryuuji's there to save him once more, This didn't look too well but Taiga the first one to act and really cared for him at that moment yeah Ryuuji is yours.

It seems taiga is taking the harem route instead haha. But damn idk how I even learned how to swim. Tho I know I just started swimming like it was nothing. I guess some have it and others don't.

I like how they're taking time to show the full development of Taiga's feelings. She says herself that she doesn't understand herself and it shows in how she combats her feelings of love for Ryu. She's not completely infatuated with Ryu or anything, but the thought of Ami taking him away upsets her and I think a big part of this episode was Taiga coming to terms with WHY she was upset.

Ughhhh it's so obvious how much Taiga lies Taskusu. Why whon't she admit it?

Also, Kitamura is still a bitch. I'm getting a bit over her. Kinda want to slap her more and more every time she speaks.

I didn't really expect Taiga to go back there and save Takasu, I wasn't sure they were gonna go mask-off about how she felt about him just yet, I'm really glad she did though, it was pretty cute haha.

I would've liked if they had a little more build-up before she went and said it so blatantly, although she did try and play it cool lol, but I guess it is a third of the way into the show already.

Either way Taiga really did decide to play dirty, and Ami totally deserved it. That's payback for when she gets between Taiga and Takasu over summer, I already know its gonna happen :(

How come they allowed Taiga to untie Ami's bikini at the start of the race? This should be against the rules!
Also, what exactly did she mean by "I see hair"? Was she talking about her armpits, facial hair or... something down there?

Not just that, but that she came to his aid the moment she sensed something was wrong, proves that she cares more for him than she usually shows to everyone.
