Overview:
Chizuru and Ruka have run-ins with the women of the Kinoshita family.
Our Take:
You might be wondering, “Come back from what?” I’m talking about how big a deal everyone has been making about the ring given to Chizuru. Of course, Kazuya’s grandma was making noise about it since she was the one who gave it to her, but Kazuya’s mother also wanted to talk with Chizuru. It turns out that the ring was being worn by Kazuya’s mother up until it was gifted to Chizuru. I understand the “rental girlfriend” aspect makes it tough, but at this point, if I were Chizuru, I would marry Kazuya out of embarrassment alone.
I was thinking about it, and I’m surprised that Chizuru and Kazuya hadn’t met long before now. Both of their grandmothers were best friends, and that seems like an anime trope as well. “Let’s make our grandkids get married!” Now that I think about it, I wouldn’t be surprised if them knowing each other and being “fated lovers” since they were kids ends up being how this series ends. If it does go that way, I think it would be more tolerable than what we have now, which is a bunch of shitty people who can’t be honest with themselves or their loved ones.
