First thoughts after watching I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class Episode 8

This note includes a spoiler.

I watched I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class episode 8. 5/10. This episode included

1. Study group at Maki's home for the next exam
2. Dinner with Maki's father and met Nitta afterward
3. Talked to Umi

Well, if you want a romantic relationship between Maki and Umi, then this episode is great. The early part of this episode was especially good — their interaction while they studied with Amami and Seki together. Another interesting part was Amami's personal preference was similar to Maki's, and she wanted to date someone like him. Well, maybe she just had a big appetite and a sweet tooth, and wanted to eat them. Umi heard these things and worried about Maki, and said that she had put up with it in the past when Amami took her friends — Honoka, and one more whose name I forgot. But she definitely couldn't. If she had been able to, she wouldn't have changed high schools in the first place. So she worried but at the same time, her sadness faded because of Maki.

This episode also showed who was smart, and Amami and Seki weren't as smart as Umi and Maki. So, Amami's other weakness was actually studying.

In terms of the dinner scene with Maki's dad, well, I kinda understood and kinda felt weird when Maki was angry. He was angry because his dad loved another woman but found out he loved her after he had divorced Maki's mom. He also saw that his mom looked wiped out so from that kindness, it made sense that he couldn't forgive. At the same time, they were divorced, so even if he was their son, didn't it make sense?

Well, and Nitta somehow played a role in calming Maki down. She's been a kinda convenient character so far. Probably she also talked to Umi and Umi set up the dinner with her family and Maki next time.

Well, nothing too special. In the next episode, Maki will see a normal family life and then, I'm not sure what's going to happen. Maybe he will get mad and argue with Umi, or the opposite and relieved with their life? Let's see.
