    I like this episode. We’ve got:

    • Hiro baited by the Exceed reel and being hilariously bad at handling money
    • Harem-baiting
    • Yuri-baiting
    • Hetero-baiting
    • Literal fish baiting of different types
    • Fishes metaphor in romance

    Speaking of the Exceed, he got it as a newbie. I’m not surprised if he’ll pick up some bad fishing habits that he needs to unlearn later

      I do like how we are slowly building out our cast of other characters. However, I feel like the plot has mostly stalled? Like, we haven’t seen any kind of mention of his terminal illness since episode 1. I was hoping that we would see more of him processing his impending death and the emotions that that would bring.

        I’m holding a verdict on that until later episodes. Hiro has a lot of new experiences in a short period of time, so it’s believable he largely forgot he has a few years to live. I don’t think he told his new friends yet, and I feel the show will hit you like truck-kun once he catches up to the fact.

      hilariously bad at handling money

      Thankfully he’s got a good guy that allows him to rectify his mistakes.

      relationship baiting

      Can you already call that baiting?
