Episode 9

Everyone's Reactions

Serika's twin tails and sandcastle scene were absolutely adorable, especially with the voice actor references. She pulls off the food shots perfectly and seems to read the room well, too. Hikari's profiling is sharp, and the contrast between her and Hoshimiya's intimidating aura was fun. Shi's single-mindedness is sweet, though it looks a bit bittersweet because she's so earnest. Haihara-kun's inner 'shumi-relation' really feels like it belongs in a ks group. Seeing the mood peak during the warm-up scene just screams 'end of summer.' Even though he's the only guy, it's exciting to see his relationships with these girls deepen. I hope this gentle, slightly bittersweet vibe continues in the next episode.
