After a year of secret pining, second-year high schooler Haruka Shinozaki gathers the courage to ask popular class girl Akiho Kosaka to become his girlfriend. However, since this is Akiho's first romantic relationship as well, she begins to ask Haruka pragmatic questions about his sexual desires that he is left in doubt that this budding relationship will undergo a development for the better all too soon. | |||
2 | ""Just Whip it Out Now!" ...Can I say that?" "'Sonomama Dashite!' ...tte Ieba Ii no?" (「そのまま出して!」 …って言えばいいの?) | October 19, 2017 | |
Kanata learns that her older brother has a girlfriend now, and she tries her best to "endear" herself to him once again. Later, Akiho leads her class into the weekly campus clean-up and gains a new sentimental appreciation for Haruka's private possessions, and in order to serve Haruka a proper bento , she becomes desperate enough to ask Shizuku for cooking lessons, while Shizuku uses the opportunity to flirt with Haruka once again. | |||
3 | "Ah, This is My First Time Having Two at Once..." "N, Nihon Dōji wa Hajimete...desu." (んっ、二本同時は初めて…です。) | October 26, 2017 | |
Akiho has invited Haruka to her home to introduce her to her parents. While Akiho leaves to fetch dinner supplies and her father Natsuo takes a walk to shake off his nervousness, Haruka arrives ahead of schedule and is thus welcomed by Akiho's mother, Fuyumi, alone. As she entertains him, Haruka discovers to his mounting disconcertion where Akiho's casual approach to sexual topics originates from, but with his modest and gentle manner wins her father's approval when he and Akiho return home. However, when Akiho and Haruka go out on their first official date, Akiho over-analyzes the topic once again, leading her to miss the emotional side of the occasion. She collapses from the shock of her realization and her subsequent tireless efforts to make things better, but recovers with Haruka's support and begins to regain hope for their future together. | |||
4 | "S-So This is How it Goes, Huh...." "Ko, Konna Fū ni Narun desu no ne..." (こ、こんな風になるんですのね…。) | November 2, 2017 | |
A pretty girl named Rina Saijō transfers from the prestigious all-girls Shirogane Academy to Haruka and Akiho's mixed-gender school in search of a romance with a man. Befriending Haruka and Akiho, she eagerly begins to collect any information about how to form a male-female relationship from them, and in order to deepen her information, she takes the two to the zoo, where - again to Haruka's shock - he finds himself confronted with all sorts of ambiguous allusions whilst observing the wildlife. Following the visit, Haruka and Akiho encounter Akiho's parents, who have also visited the zoo on their own, and the four incidentally conclude the day taking a rest at a love hotel. | |||
5 | "It Tore... What do I do?!" "Yabure te tatte? dō shiyo!?" (破れてたって… どうしよう!?) | November 9, 2017 | |
This episode consists of a succession of minor everyday occurrences. Rina has gotten herself a new smartphone and promptly asks Haruka several delicate questions about how to use it. Akiho attempts to learn how to predict Haruka's feelings in order to become a more effective girlfriend, naturally overdoing things in the process. She also stirs up chaos during a class representatives' meeting by suggesting a stronger promotion of sex education at school, and attempts to get her hiccups cured. Lastly, while going shopping, Kanata mistakingly replaces a box of chocolate-flavored condoms on a sweets shelf, causing some embarrassing misunderstandings between Misaki Aikawa,her friend and the shop's clerk. | |||
6 | "D-Don't Show This to Anyone Else, Okay?" "Ho, Hoka no Hito ni wa Misenai de ne?" (ほ、他の人には見せないでね?) | November 16, 2017 | |
To Akiho's horror, Haruka's male classmate Hoshikawa begins to take a rather unhealthy interest in her boyfriend, plunging her into a state of panic every time she sees them together. During their school's summer sports festival Haruka is determined to prove himself a cool guy to Akiho by participating in the baseball tournaments, only to accidentally hit Hoshikawa (to the latter's enjoyment) in a sensitive spot with one of his batting attempts, and to find out in the end that Akiho does not mind the result as long as it is done for her sake. | |||
7 | "Jeez...I Can't Get My Mind Off of It.." "Mō...Nanimo Kangaerarenai..." (もう…何も考えられない…) | November 23, 2017 | |
Haruka, Akiho and the rest of their schoolmates embark on their annual school camping trip. However, with lewd allusions and attempts at illicit intimacies heavy in the air, in one way or another the trip turns into a rather nerve-wracking experience for all participants. | |||
8 | "I-I'm Not Saying You Can Take It That Far!" "So, Soko Made Shite Ii Nante Ittenai!" (そ、そこまでしていいなんて言ってないっ!) | November 30, 2017 | |
By happenstance, class president Saori Igarashi catches Haruka and his younger sister Kanata in what appears to be an incestuous moment (while in reality it was only a slight accident with a milk carton), and henceforth tries to expose Haruka as the "pervert" she thinks he is. Haruka's desperate attempts to clarify the misunderstanding only adds fuel to Saori's hysteria, until Saori notes that after her last toilet session she has accidentally stuck her skirt in her panties, which Haruka tried to point out to her, and ends up recognizing Haruka's discretional nature. In the second part of the episode, Akiho has forgotten to bring her panties along to school and desperately does what she can to hide this embarrassing mistake from Haruka, just as he tries to bring their relationship to its next level. In the third part, Haruka, Akiho and Rina accidentally get locked in the school's gym shed, which leaves the three of them in a highly compromising situation when Rina's bodyguards bust them out shortly afterwards. | |||
9 | "I Told You, Not So Suddenly!!" "Ikinari wa Dame tte Itta no niii!!" (いきなりはダメって言ったのにぃぃ!!) | December 6, 2017 | |
Just before a planned date, Akiho's father comes down with a sore hip, forcing Akiho to cancel as she accompanies her parents to the hospital. Shizuku immediately hits upon this lifetime chance to go on a date with Haruka, even luring him to her house and then handcuffing herself to have him look after her (at least until Haruka finds the key to the cuffs in her pocket). The next day, Akiho catches them both together when Shizuku proposes to make a bento box for Haruka, and becomes obsessed with pleasing her boyfriend with her own cooking - a pledge which turns into a stress test for her confidence. | |||
10 | "I Can't... Take It... Any Longer!" "Mō, Gaman Deki, masen!" (もう、我慢でき、ませんっ!) | December 13, 2017 | |
Final exams are approaching, and Haruka begins to receive a lot of moral support from his friends and younger sister Kanata (though not without ulterior motives). On a particularly hot summer day, Misaki Aikawa's ice cream parlor is visited by a number of very strange customers whose orders stir her imagination and embarrassment. Akiho spontaneously joins Haruka after he has fallen asleep at his classroom table, and during an outdoor school sketching meet Haruka unwittingly runs afoul of his fellow schoolmates while looking for a model. Akiho finally offers him her services, and in the course of them examining each other, the two of them confess their love. | |||
OVA | "What If Akiho and Shinozaki are Stuck in a Room Where They Can't Get Out Unless They Have Sex" "Moshi Akiho to Shinozaki ga Se*kusu Shinai to Derenai Heya ni Tojikomeraretara" (もし篠崎と秋穂がセ○クスしないと出れない部屋に閉じ込められたら) | March 26, 2018 | |
In the aftermath of a date, Akiho and Shinozaki seek shelter from a rainstorm at a hotel, where they share a bed without engaging in any intimacies. As they prepare to leave the next morning, however, they find that the hotel is a virtual reality game parlor that won't let them leave until they have had an "exciting time" within the next sixty minutes, lest they will be violated. Akiho and Shinozaki reluctantly comply, but before it comes to the worst, two puppets they had purchased on their date end up in a missionary position, which satisfies the parlor's AI and nullifies their confinement. During their finals, Shinozaki, Kanata, Rina and Shizuku fail their Health exam, and in their review session Koshimizu makes Akiho coach her schoolmates with an extremely lewd variant of the King's Game, which begins to excite the girls and disquiet Shinozaki. |
In a review of the anime for NEO , Alex Jones believed the developing relationship between Haruka and Akiho to be what made the premise work. However, he felt the jokes got more low-brow and generic with the more characters the series added, and ultimately felt that the miscommunication between the lead couple wasn't enough to carry the whole show.
