Takuya's dad should have explained everything. That his officemate is there because she wants to know how it feels like to be a mom. And then Takuya wouldn't have been rude.

I feel like Takuya's dad doesn't really know how to handle this whole thing (Takuya having too many responsibilities). I also hoped that the cute lady wasn't his dad's girlfriend, that'd be a bit too much for Takuya to handle. Especially since it's like two months since his mom died. (might have gotten it wrong?)
Anyway, this episode had me again through a roller-coaster of emotions.

man you just cant help but cry at this show.

really thought that ohtani was gonna be their dads new lover and a bunch of thoughts just came to my mind lol"? isn't this too fast? but well he probably didnt knew how to introduce her too" "hasn't it been only a few months since the mom died?i feel bad for takuya. but his dad probably felt like shit too" "ah but minoru seems to be enjoying this, having a mom and all. but takuya is probably not ready for this yet" in just that less than 5 minute clip from meeting ohtani to her playing with minoru

I've only watched two episodes for know but my eyes were sweating. it's cute but sad at the same time... I didn't cry watching anime for sooo long wtf.
if it comes to this episode, I'm really sorry for Takuya. he is important as much as Minoru and I know his pain for feeling like he is not. really sad...

I'm crying again as I remember the scene when Minoru hit a kid because he was feeling jealous of their relationship. He cried for his own mother while seeking comfort from his father. It's clear he misses his mother a lot. Then there's the Ohtani girl. I initially thought she had a relationship with the father and they rushed into a new relationship, which feels too soon, especially since they are still grieving the recent loss of their wife and mother but I gotten it wrong. I feel bad for misjudging the Ohtani girl without understanding the full situation. As for Takuya, he got slapped by his father, and I believe he deserved it for speaking badly about his baby brother. However, I understand that he's just a child struggling to control his emotions due to his mother's recent death.
