Did I seriously get emotionally flustered and blown away by an episode of Girlfriend, Girlfriend? Yeah I think I did and I’m sorry if I’m jumping the gun a bit, but this is probably hands-down my favorite episode of the series thus far. It had the perfect balance of everything: genuinely heartfelt moments, believably relatable character beats, well-placed jokes, and an actual solid understanding about polyamorous relationship progression. I have personally been a little annoyed with the pacing of the past two episodes, as it felt like they dragged their feet just to get to the Rika confession. But honestly, the payoffs and set ups present in this episode genuinely made everything worth it.
The first half of this episode primarily focused on Rika, and I’ll go so far as to say that this is probably the best she’s been in the series since her introduction. We get a lot of that…
