While waiting for dawn and the request he made online for improvements in his new lifestyle. After exercising all night, he sweated a lot, so he spontaneously showered with materials available to him thanks to an online guide.

Along the Kanojo mo Kanojo So far I have seen more than one situation that seems to me personally like a kind of “social criticism”, camouflaged and packed into exaggerated and absurd comedy. It may not have been the author’s intention that they were or look like they were, but I won’t deny that I see in this the possibility that they exist. For example, the very essence of the plot (a romantic relationship with more than one friend at the same time and with their consent) was the first hint I saw of the idea of ”social criticism”. But Mirika’s sentence in Kanojo mo Kanojo – Chapter 5 got me to lay the foundations and see it as something that is really in line.
I don’t want to belittle any kind of content creator on one of the existing platforms. Just like I’m not saying the author does. I just feel that this fact has become so “normal” that in the future it will even be used as a cliché in anime, manga, video games, etc. A cliché that opens the doors to expand the world of what the comedy may include. And of course, something that ultimately has to do with gender Isekaiif it isn’t already and I haven’t figured it out yet.
In any case, a little back to the plot theme of the series. I have to accept that it has much deeper moments than I initially expected. Although they are due to the predominant gender of the Kanojo mo Kanojo, the comedyShe continues to point out points that could completely be the core of the story of other series. Whether someone who is in. has appeared Kanojo mo Kanojo – Chapter 5 or in previous episodes.
The relationship between seriousness and comedy in this series seems to me to have worked out well. It’s not balanced, but the genre so distinctive to the writer prevails and without such an extravagant story to try to justify the same exaggerated humor.
If he says no, that means no …
Although it wasn’t his first appearance in history and even the in Kanojo mo Kanojo – Chapter 5 She was the most important female figure. Mirika has not yet been officially introduced, so I will continue to call her by her first name. MeTuber until they reveal their secret identity.
Now her identity is not the only unknown to the character, but also her reason for wanting to be Naoya’s third friend. Although they make it clear in the story that they want a man to protect them from bullies, I personally don’t think they are. Of course, I have to admit that at first I thought that was the final motive.
I’m still not sure why Mirika wants to be Naoya’s girlfriend, in fact the above reason to protect against stalkers is still in my options. But the one with the highest percentage that I see possible (no matter how small the difference is) is my hypothesis that Mirika wants to be with Naoya because he isn’t looking for her because of her fame. It doesn’t feel like it’s a fake love. Something like the complex it has Sakie-sensei from Demi-chan wa Kataritai. A succubus with a concern for love as she believes that due to her nature as a succubus, no one will really fall in love with her.
To be honest, I still don’t have a favorite female character in Kanojo mo Kanojo. It’s not that I don’t like any of them, it’s that I like their characters in different ways. So far ends in a technical draw. Of course, Mirika’s character looks charismatically promising, but it’s too early to be confirmed.
Animation in Kanojo mo Kanojo – Chapter 5
The animation in this episode had its ups and downs. Which didn’t seem as pronounced as in other chapters, but they were obvious to me. The negative point in the animation is again carried out by the flowing movement of the characters, especially in the scenes where Mirika is shown keeping her body warm. There were moments when even the style of drawing in it looked strange. Of course, they seem simple to a normal viewer, but they may be a lot more complicated than expected. Still, I have the feeling that he was missing more ‘Boing Boing‘result. There were times it could happen, but if he wasn’t in a close-up, his movement couldn’t be seen.
As for the episode’s fan service, I have to accept that I’m satisfied. I felt like there was some light censorship but nothing to worry about, just a bit more steam than it should especially regarding the bathroom scene with Saki and Nagisa in bathing suits.
But what caught my attention most when it came to animation? Kanojo mo Kanojo – Chapter 5 is definitely the “disappearance” of the rain from one moment to the next. I mean the scene from Mirika’s first night camping. At the beginning of this scene you can see the whole house and the rain, which is quite present. But a few seconds later, when the scene changes, there’s not even a hint that it rained at all. Something I can’t remember happened like this in the manga.
I have less and less hope of seeing a scene with fluid movement in the rest of the year Kanojo mo KanojoHowever, I hope I am wrong about this. What I hope is that they keep animation as “neutral” as in this episode. An acceptable animation where the bugs weren’t that big.
