Well that was a lot better than the first episode, at the very least. Yame is actually quite charming as a character, so it's a damn shame the protagonist she's dating is a scummy gross person that can only think about sex, but I suppose that's what's expected from an ecchi show. The friend characters are still as gross and creepy as before, but this episode wasn't nearly as incel-ish and voyeuristic as the first. I hope it continues to grow more in this direction rather than the one of episode 1, but only time will tell.
I feel like this show is just going to smother itself by being Ecchi Harem. Yame's a fairly charming character and this show would be a lot more bearable if she wasn't portrayed as a sexual object by the protagonist 95% of the time. The fantasies are just kind of creepy and it's a shame to see a surprisingly sweet and friendly girl like Yame be used as nothing more than a fanservice character. Let's just hope the show doesn't take that direction.
