I didn’t expect to get love triangle right from episode 3, but that’s what exactly started from this episode.
Takeshi and Kurumi are dating. Or at least they are pretending that they’re lovers to protect Kurumi from countless men. After an incident with a stalker, Takeshi took the role of Kurumi’s boyfriend to keep the other boys away.
Now that Mui has clearly shown some interest to Takeshi, naturally jealousy will follow. Especially when Takeshi confiscates Kurumi’s photos from a bunch of guys by declaring he’s Kurumi’s boyfriend. Right when Mui was there.
Even though their “relationship” is supposed to be a fake, it’s also clear that Kurumi actually likes Takeshi for real. As much as I like Mui as a character, I feel like cheering for Kurumi to get Takeshi. Though I’m well aware that Mui is the main heroine here, so she’s more likely to get the male hero in the end.
