The anime parody at the beginning is a very good reflection of the time this series was ongoing. That faux anime’s vibes are suuuuper familiar 😂iykyk. I love that there was a shipping war going on too, LOL. This show really nails the chaotic energy of fujo culture. It’s super authentic 😭Shima and Kae foreverrrr 🫶

Kae dan Nishina menonton anime baru tetapi disini twist kecil terjadi bagaimana mereka berselisih hanya karena berbeda pilihan hadehhh. Pace nya jadi lebih fokus pada konflik internal fujoshi dibanding drama romansa harem seperti episode sebelumnya. Sebuah pergeseran genre sementara yang fresh.

I really liked how this episode was more focused on Shima, a lot of her scenes were really interesting to watch. The heartfelt and emotional moments throughout the episode surrounding her kept me invested in her story. I also found a lot of Hayato's scenes another highlight for me. A lot of his actions and reactions whenever he'd show up on screen were absolutely hilarious.

Episode Context

The midpoint of Kiss Him, Not Me! delivers one of the series' most self-aware comedic outings by turning the lens directly on fan culture itself. Kae and Nishina square off over competing ship preferences from their favorite anime, and the resulting clash is equal parts absurd and surprisingly relatable for anyone who's ever defended a pairing online. The male suitors find themselves sidelined as mediators in a war they barely understand, which generates some of the season's sharpest comedic beats. Expect rapid-fire otaku humor, exaggerated reaction faces, and a pacing that leans into sketch-comedy energy. Beneath the laughs, the episode quietly deepens the friendship between Kae and Nishina, revealing how shared passions can both unite and divide. A lighter standalone-feeling episode that rewards fans who get the meta humor.
