@Megiddo
I think they knew each other already, as apparently spoiler[they are cousins]. You catch the bit when Kotone mentioned she liked spoiler["auntie" and later Shizuku mentioned her mother]?

I'm glad they've toned the fanservice down a bit - the first episode really overdid it. Can't wait to see Yuu's sister animated.

@Megiddo: You misinterpreted what happened there, possibly due to CR's clunky phrasing. Kotone already knows who she is here(and thus is deliberately "raising the bar", hence Shizuku's satisfied smirk afterwards), though you can see it much clearer in the manga(note panel 3, right side):

Oba-san is an extremely common term that can be used to address any middle aged woman in Japan. Just because she is calling Shizuku's mom "auntie" (oba-san) does not mean that's her aunt. Poly, can you post the strip that shows why Kotone is living with Shizuku or even just her talking with Shizuku about it?

I also thought the continuity skipped a bit. Usually when this happens while I am watching so many different anime at the same time I figure it is my memory not being sufficient to the task.

Here on the other hand it seemed like they were skipping a lot of material just to get to the tease and kiss scenes in a hurry.

As for fan service I would just prefer they keep it at a low level but we will see. Actually I'm impressed that they got through two whole episodes without a surprise-breast-grab-from-the-rear incident.

They're not skipping anything(in fact, I'm pretty sure that every panel has appeared in the anime verbatim).

Only the first six chapters have been scanlated and they don't give any further information.

As someone not familiar with the manga, I certainly didn't have any clue that Kotone and Shizuku knew each other before hand. I wasn't really that perturbed by the fact Kotone was spending a lot of time at her house ... I just assumed she'd been macking on her in between eppies and was making good time.

hope the comedy keeps up, this show is hilarious. I love Haruka's very wild imagination, and reactions to anything slightly hinting at girl on girl action.

Never before has strawberry cream puff been this tasty! Who would have thunk Yuu could be better at dominating than Haruka? Anime hyper

But hey, at least it shows those 2 are not always conformed in the sub/dom roles.

Lewd kisses, lewd legs, lewd hand-holding, lewd everything. This is such a wonderful yuri anime. And Mitsuki-nee-chan is like the blondie Akane/Ayano (YuruYuri). And Yuu is sounding more like Miku (Symphogear).

Episode 3

Well if you thought the intimacy and touching was mostly only something Haruka wanted, you will see that she can be even more forceful. Although I guess when you then compare her to Haruka's spoiler[altered swimsuits] you will see there can still be a difference. But Yuu mentioned they are in a relationship *kyaah*, too cute.

And spoiler[tomato sauce in coffee that the staff apparently drank it up later. ]. Laughing And I liked the trolling like spoiler[making Haruka say something embarrassing].

Maybe a bit hard to understand, but I think Mitsuki was spoiler[starting to get a crush on Haruka]. I thought that it was going to be a case of overprotective sister, or maybe the Onee-san siscon we have seen a bit of, andspoiler[ perhaps that is a part, but her heart thumping seemed like she is crushing on her sister girlfriend]. It does look like she is somewhat spoiler[aware that they are doing things], probably not buying the excuse spoiler[they made why Yuu was on top of Haruka]. I am very supportive of spoiler[Yuu and Haruka, yet I am not exactly against possible rival butting in].

It sure sucks that the first years of a closing school seem to be expected to miss out on all the favorite school activities.

As for us I wish they had finished the walk-in scene. Cut-to-the-next-day doesn't really cut it.

While watching the OP again I think that I noticed something, I think that about 1:07 into the OP seems to show spoiler[Haruka offering her body to both of the sisters]. This based on how she is shown spoiler["naked" while there are two flowers on the side that represent the sisters] (the symbolism appeared in this episode and we can actually see the heads), we are then shown what appears to be spoiler[Yuu and Mitsuki looking very anxious while we see Haruka's shadow down the bottom in the same pose]. Maybe I just did not pay close attention to that part before, but I found it humorous.

And now I am watching the OP for the third time in a row. It gets stuck in my head and it keeps making me want to watch.

Well, DuskyPredator, thanks to your post, I've learned something new! I never knew that spoiler[what we call ketchup in the US is called tomato sauce in Australia. For us, tomato sauce is what we put on pasta.]

We call that either spoiler[pasta sauce or tomato paste].
