Mutsumi menantang adiknya kazuma untuk bermain sebuah permainan kartu yaitu Guard the Castle dan melibatkan kae dalam permainan ini. Pace nya dibangun dengan baik lewat keraguan batin Asuma yang perlahan berubah jadi tekad, memberi bobot karakter pada sosok yang selama ini paling pasif di antara para pengejar Kae.

Kazuma was easily the highlight of this episode for me. His playful personality and constant teasing made many of the scenes genuinely entertaining, especially during his interactions with Yuusuke and Nozomu in the first half. His antics kept the episode full of comedy, although I did find some of his behavior toward Asuma a little frustrating at times. Overall, his character gives me mixed feelings about him since he does kind of go too far.

Episode Context

The penultimate episode of Kiss Him, Not Me! channels its energy into a strategic card game that doubles as an emotional battlefield. Expect the series' trademark blend of competitive absurdity and genuine romantic tension as Kae's suitors clash not just over strategy but over who gets closest to her heart. The spotlight lands squarely on the Mutsumi brothers, Asuma and Kazuma, whose sibling rivalry adds a sharper edge to the usual harem comedy antics. The pacing leans into escalating stakes, with playful banter giving way to moments of real intensity. This is the show tightening its grip before the finale, using a game as the perfect metaphor for the romantic maneuvering that's been building all season. If you've enjoyed the ensemble dynamics, this episode pushes them to a near-breaking point with satisfying comedic payoff.
