Ep 23. Saruyama's Harem Story

Saruyama has always been a bit of a joke amongst his peers at school, but in this episode, he finally gets his chance to shine. When Saruyama discovers that he's actually quite attractive to the opposite sex, he decides to take advantage of his newfound popularity by starting his own harem. And believe it or not, he actually succeeds.

As Saruyama's reputation as a ladies' man spreads throughout the school, girls start approaching him left and right, hoping to become a part of his exclusive group. Although he initially starts out with only a few members, his harem quickly grows in size until he's practically drowning in girls.

But with great power comes great responsibility, and Saruyama soon finds himself struggling to keep up with the demands of all of his girlfriends. Each girl wants to spend time with him, and he simply can't be everywhere at once. In the end, he's forced to make some tough decisions about who he really wants to be with.

Meanwhile, Rito is struggling with his own issues. He's still hopelessly in love with Haruna, but he can't muster up the courage to confess his feelings to her. And with Saruyama living out every guy's fantasy, Rito feels more powerless than ever.

As the episode progresses, Saruyama's harem becomes more and more of a burden, and he realizes that being surrounded by girls 24/7 isn't all it's cracked up to be. He starts to see that true love is about more than just physical attraction, and he begins to re-evaluate his priorities.

Ultimately, Saruyama's harem story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of pursuing physical pleasure over emotional connection. It's a reminder that real love requires work and sacrifice, and that there are no shortcuts to happiness. Whether Saruyama is able to learn this lesson remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure – his harem days are numbered.
