Hiyori actually ran with a sprained ankle? That's some incredible pain tolerance.
Interesting to see how they handle her getting hurt for them, especially as this will probably hurt her track time as well.

Hiyoko is the true MVP this episode lol

She's such an MVP that even as she realized she was tripping, she was able to ignore what should've been a natural reflex, and prioritize the rosettes over trying to catch her fall. That's not something just anyone could do, especially under the pressure of time.

can confirm you can actually keep going for a while thanks to adrenaline. I sprained my ankle a few times while playing soccer and I can confirm it gets painful only after the match lol

All that running she did really came in clutch. I knew it was going be useful despite the sprained ankle!!

sprained ankle: Im about to end her whole career.

Hiyori: Ah, if only there's a nice girl around who can help him with his trauma...
Ken: But you are a nice girl.

I guess the curse of denseness is a trait among all MC regardless of gender.

Ofc density is a believer of gender equality lol

The fact that you forgot about bakaterina is honestly a crime ! Her denseness is equal to like 3 harem male MCs

the curse of denseness is mandatory class for both shonen And shojo MCs, lets be real here
(i mean those 200+ chapters of "will they? wont they?" wont write themselves)

The media doing annoying media things lol

they actually helped facilitate a bonding moment, so i'm not mad

Smh propaganda lol

Hiyori: *Eating Yuujirou's rolled egg*
Yuujirou: "And I take that personally"
I'm also the "Save It For Later" faction so I really understand how he feels lol

Hiyori's expression in this episode is really fun to watch. But she must learn not to raise the flag.

I'm in the "alternate between bites" camp, get all the enjoyment of the fave spread out to mute the less faves

I'm also the "save the best for last" faction because that's how you can savor it to the fullest :D

This has gotten so much more enjoyable to watch with the boys warming up to her, it's nice how Hiyori is becoming more reliable and the guys are getting along with each other even better. It's also amusing how frequently embarrassed they got because of her and how shy they act around her sometimes like when she realized the rosettes they pitched as the freebie was inspired by her comment lol.

It was also amusing how she tried to make Aizou better by comparing how uncomfortable she gets with squids with his trauma with girls, I think it'd be a good thing if he imagines squid whenever he's around a girl, that might be the fastest way for him to get overcome the trauma lol.

I'm curious as to how the boys will react if she starts limping though, I don't think they'll feel guilty since they didn't make her go get the rosettes nor were they responsible for bringing them but it might bring about some new sides of them. Plus seeing Hiyori getting flustered by their kindness will be fun since she already dreamt of marrying both of them at the same time, she was about to get a three-way kiss to seal the deal lol.

Me: "That's hilarious"

A girl surrounded by squids
Me: "Hmm... I think I know where this is going"

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Correction on the last part: "We all know where this is going". And Yukihara Souma is devilishly laughing in the background. ;)

them warming up to her <<< them warming up to each other

I know how invested I am in this series because I flipped out with sorry for Hiyori’s track career when I saw her hurt her ankle!

Okay. I feel like Chuta-san(the fan who always send letters and gifts) is the friend of Hiyori who wears glasses.
She's a little sus. Maybe she befriended Hiyori because she feels like Hiyori is close to LipxLip or maybe she already know that Hiyori is their manager. I don't know. Just a little theory.

PS. That glasses girl was voiced by Saori Hayami. I'm sure of it.😂

Yeah her name was there in the cast for this anime

I don't think she has that kind of plan. She spoke to Hiyori before Hiyori became their manager too.

Actually, I think that they already introduced Chuutan. You can see a dark-haired girl with a bunny clip at the end of the episode. I am 95 % convinced that was her.

bunny clip girl looks like the evil queen from the OP

Yeah, I think they might be the same person.

If you are Listening to Honeywork's Songs you can Know the story alot SPOILER yeah indeed she was the big fan of LipxLip all along and you know she get's jealous of Hiyori because she was like stiky in the Idol's hehe sorry for the spoil teehee

SPOILER ALERT I GUESSand They fight and Became friends again I don't know if they will depend the story to the music

OK, I'm Out (bang) at least desk survived XD

the girls need to learn to give people privacy

These girls are thirsty af lol

Some people like that tho… I think lol

Her running career is over 😢

A simple sprain will not ruin anyone's career. She might not be able to walk properly for a few days though.

I'm really proud of how they handle the media, and each episode makes me feel like they're growing closer and closer to each other. And kudos to Hiyori for running with a sprained ankle, which must be painful.

Hiyori is so cute
And hardworking too, characters like her inspires me.

the voice is amazing too

yeah indeed Inori Minase was a amazing Seiyuu She can Sing aswell shes my favorite VA aswell that's why am here ofcourse Am fan of Honeyworks aswell

honeyworks is really nice!!!! Ive seen their other two anime

Putting her body on the line. Proud of Hiyori. Hope her foot get heal up.

Was the kiss mark needed for the costume?

Well, they are LIPxLIP

a girl at i think 20:59 looked like the evil queen from the OP

NO! Why the injury!? Why you gotta do our Hiyoko Hiyori like that, author-san!? T_T

Fresh home from work, time for a dosage of idols!

1:00 and here i thought she was an innocent girl, and now she dreams of a family friendly depiction of a threesome... oh my, how lewd, muheheheheh
(is it just me or are the bushy eyebrows girls always these sweet nice highpitched innocent characters in anime? who might dream of romance, but are usually on the side not getting any attention from the boys.... girl is a pioneer of her archetype)

Lip X lip the threesome experience
