English Dub Review: Kaguya-sama Love Is War “Kaguya Shinomiya’s Impossible Demand: “A Cowrie a Swallow Gave Birth To” Part 1 / Yu Ishigami Wants to Prove Himself Worthy / Chika Fujiwara Wants to Stay Over”

 

Overview:

After their second-semester final exams end, there are plans for a sleepover at Kaguya’s house. But Shirogane and the others are unable to come, leaving Fujiwara as the only one who can join. While barely glancing at an upset Kaguya, Fujiwara gets excited about the totally hot butler Mr. Herthaka without realizing it’s Hayasaka dressed as a man. That night as the girl talk unfolds at the pajama party, a sleep-deprived Kaguya takes on a strange mood before anyone can notice. With that energy, she calls Shirogane and ends up asking outrageous questions.

Our Take:

You know there is a lot of room for some “what-if” scenarios in this series. I think Hayasaka and Shirogane would be a good couple. This episode made me think that Ishigami and Kaguya would be a good couple as well. But we all know that the main couple will be Shirogane and Kaguya but it would still be cool to see. It might be blasphemous but I think I might like Hayasaka more actually. I can’t say I’m surprised that Fujiwara is a BL fan.

I felt bad for Ishigami, he tried his absolute best but was far off from his expectations. It’s hard to keep going after that sometimes but I think Ishigami has the mental fortitude to keep going! Plus now Kaguya is going to go all-out as his tutor. We almost got a confession out of Kaguya during her sleepover but I don’t think any of us were surprised that she fell asleep right before saying the name.
