I don't know guys, but I think Himekawa might have fallen for Gero. That 5 star review "subtly hints" at it.

I am surprised that the sound Master is actually this much of a problem. But tbf, I did not expect that he could just make a violin out of a tree and his own hair. I might be excused for not taking into account that he is just built that differently. Though I feel with them facing each other, Gero should have enough chances to get close. Hey, maybe he even hid some actual poison around the area as some form of trap when he made sure the observation via strings was not possible anymore.

As for Shiori, I am interested to see if they are finishing her story already next week or if that is going to be a longer arc throughout the story. I at least hope we understand why her father chose her. Considering this is a toy company, I wouldn't be surprised if she is able to take away the fear by them just having fun with the toys. Which would be enough hint for me.

Also, one last thing. Gero said that he should be used to holding girls by now thanks to Kinosaki. Now I want a side story where they show Gero holding and carrying Kinosaki as some form of training arc.

All of Gero's ratings are going to come across as top tier praise/flirting from all the girls leaving reviews lol.

I feel like what Shiori lacks in social experience she makes up for in earnestness and gumption. Also someone who thinks she could pull a Mary Poppins move (plus the magical girl cosplay) might have the sense of whimsy that someone needs to run a toy company.

Imagine Kinosaki having him give Kinosaki piggyback rides and Gero getting a lot of thoughts about the feel of Kinosaki's fake boobs.

Tbf, in the situation Shiori was in, the umbrella was actually a "better" choice than whatever else she could have done. In general, I like how they portray her thoughts in situations like these (similar to social moments) where she checks 10 different options in a short amount of time.
