| Seems like so many unhappy marriages in Japan. It's getting real in this episode. |
| Ever since the reveal of Nao, both Takuya and Rika find themselves drawing the line between like and love, as much as their travel agency is dealing with the onslaught of sales tickets that are handled by their model employee of Sho Shinshi, who suddenly went missing due to a sudden divorce, forcing their son of Hideo to step into their agency to request for emergency. With Manager George helping Takuya cover his duties, the growing worries of the son become more pressed, and the tip-off of a bar taking care of depressed men, that's where he's found, still handling divorce matters in depression. This does not get better, however, as Shinshi acts like a gorilla chimp in drunken chump stupor, because of the suddenness of the divorce matter, which everyone certainly has their episode seeing Shinshi go absolutely bonkers to have second thoughts about the whole marriage matter. And now, with the topic taking over the entire 4 walls of the travel agency, Takuya and Rika are still at the point of contemplation, which with Shinshi's matter, is one step forward, many steps back. What matter does Nao have to do with Rika though... |

| They might have played it off safely without making that entire bit about divorce some super serious event, but yeah, that stuff was just too real. That man couldn't really bear it mentally, so yeah, turning into gorilla and jumping around might be just for laughs but yeah, the purpose was to show what seperation does. You can feel for the kid as well. That old man voiced by Nakata Jouji was the MVP this episode. |
| Poor girl that just wants her romantic love story, completely misinterpreting the little sister character. Really shutting herself down before anything can happen between them. Rip the model employee who got into a divorce with his wife. The whole world is ending when you have your kid go to your job site. Even had to pull MC out the desk for this side venture. The dad is haunted by divorce, more rip. How many company resources does the dude have to use up, drinking away at a bar and causing public disturbances. Way to kill the marriage dream. The MCs couldn't even resolve the misunderstanding from before. Unfortunate. |

Ugh, it's the worst when that happens :(( I never realized how much it could hurt someone else.  I'm just like Honjoji-san. When I come to a conclusion that I shouldn't get my hopes up about someone or something, even if feelings started to bloom inside me, I try to extinguish them, like pouring cold water on a campfire. I tell myself I have to forget, and I try to erase those feelings. That’s when my cycle of emotional numbness begins. :(( Now that Honjoji-san has done it to Oohara-kun, I’ve started to reflect and realize that I might hurt someone else’s feelings without even noticing. I could be wrong about this, but this is how I see it based on my reflections: The Honjoji-san 'switching off' catalyst :(( is the trigger that activates the need to shut down emotions and distance oneself, often in response to the pain of unreciprocated feelings or the fear of getting hurt again. But again, that’s what I think, reflecting on the episode; I could be wrong. But honestly, the episode was very well done. I could really feel the distance Honjoji-san was trying to create and understand both sides of their emotions. The silent tension was palpable throughout the episode, as if the unspoken words carried more weight than those that were actually spoken. It’s definitely an episode that leaves a lasting impression and offers so much to reflect on about human relationships and the misunderstandings that arise from not expressing what we truly feel. </3 π |

| Wow, this was a pretty unique take for a romance centric show. I don't think I've ever seen any show go into depth on a divorce (usually just a short clip like what Honjouji went through). Lots of insightful comments after the post-gorilla moment as well. Like in particular about how one person might be completely happy or blissfully unaware while the other person is struggling. Or the womens' comments about how they wish the guy would actually take some responsibility in the home (from what I've heard this is a common complaint from women and something that puts strain on the relationship). I thought this episode was nice. It gave the characters something to think about and while it was a bit serious, it didn't happen to the MC so we sort of got to see it from an outside perspective. |
| What's wrong with that pub? It looks like an (almost) cursed place. Lol Poor kid, having a gorilla as a father, someone he doesn't look like (suspicious...) Who also involves the whole agency in his crisis... But seriously, that scene was hilarious until things got sad. |

| Been experiencing the same experience like her.. Where I have to go to the villages far from a city "to met", also amazed by the nature there.. |

| I guess they wanted to add some 'drama' and failed miserably lol |
