The Summer festival based episode.

What's more cool is Yano actually delivered on his promise to hit that home run. What a guy. That festival had a date-like vibe to it. This anime will do anything to give the pair a chance to be together so yeah. Cute episode.

Whoa, that was a close one, they almost took a brave new step into the unknown the two of them, i mean holding hands is one thing, but doing that in a public place is an entirely separate matter.

Anyway, don't despair Hashiba, i'm sure love is closer than you can imagine :)

I was already a Hashiba fan, but now I’m an even bigger fan after this episode. This dude is such a sweetheart, so respectful and kind, you WILL find that girl one day, king. Just keep focusing on yourself for now.

The fact he didn’t try to hold Kiyoko to the movie date promise and just used her as his personal muse to play better is so sweet. He’s been very considerate of Kiyoko and Yano relationship and I appreciate that! If anything, he needs to focus on his childhood friend because she’s so pretty and clearly into him!!

Speaking of pretty, Kiyoko in Yukata?!! Oh my goodness she’s a doll!! Definitely not helping Hashiba get over her at all lmao. All the girls looked so cute today, I love a good festival episode especially with this art style.

This has to be one of my fave love triangles ever because of how wholesome the dynamic is. Hashiba’s in love with Kiyoko and jealous of she and Yano, Kiyoko is jealous of Yano and Hashiba getting closer and Yano’s just in love with both 🀣

Uncensored handholding in my romance anime!! Proud of Kiyoko for taking that step, but they did NOT have to do my boy Hashiba bold and put the You Lose in fireworks lmao. He’s going to bounce back with his dream girl I believe in him!

It's a sad day for Hashiba..Even the fireworks say,"YOU LOSE." πŸ’”πŸ’”
Yano putting the ring on Yoshida's finger and the fireworks on the background.. absolutely beautiful βœ¨πŸ«ΆπŸ’–πŸ’–
So Izumi was Hashiba's childhood friend. It's no wonder she knows a lot about him. Her saying that she's gonna watch over him made me feel that she might have some feelings for him. I hope that Hashiba at least get together with Izumi. I wish something like that would happen. Even though he was successful in beating Yano at a lot of things he couldn't beat him when it came to Yoshida. Just like the baseball game. He hit the home run but still lost the game. But he tried his best. I just can't seem to hate him even when he tries to get close to Yoshida when she already has Yano. But Hashiba should move on for his own good.
Mei and Tanaka is another beautiful pair. These gluttons were so adorable throughout the episode.
This is really one of the underrated anime of this season. It's a 10/10 romcom for me.

nah bro hashiba is a good guy but why's he still trying? Yano is his friend and its just wrong to go after yoshida after she made her decision.

when he wants Yoshida attention but it turns to weird BL tensions everytime πŸ’€πŸ˜‚ Hashiba is a nice guy, but he should just give up about Yoshida lol.

Yano, you smooth πŸ‘ criminal πŸ‘ (can we get a girl for hashiba?? He deserves someone NOW 😭😭😭)

πŸ˜†Kiyoko is actually considering Hashiba as a rival for Yano while he’s actually trying to get her. And Izumi is actually into him which leaves the obvious πŸ›³οΈ of Mei and Tanaka.

Loved the episode, especially the final scene where Tsuyoshi got that ring for Kiyoko and put it on her finger. It was so adorable. That said, Hashiba was hilarious throughout the whole episode. He makes the funniest expressions ever. I think he has genuinely become my favorite character, haha.

Despite having an even bigger respect for Hashiba, I didn't like this episode too much. I felt like it was way over the top exaggerated & some of the injuries that happened to Yano (specifically the dart thing) were almost unimaginable & felt forced.

Decent episode here. The episode saw further characterization for Hashiba, who is already a fan favourite. But the real meat of the episode was in the second half. Of course, we see more of the naive klutz Yano who can't do anything on his own shtick (I'll get to that later), but we also start to see some ships setting sail. Of course, every single ship this show will try to sail is painfully obvious with one look at the character images, but at least they're starting to actually show it.

Btw, can I just take a moment to say how OBVIOUS the ships are? First of all, the boy in the ship always has just a one shade darker hair colour, all of them look like siblings+ the fact that the ships are literally:
1. The Injured and the Nurse
2. The Most Serious and the Least Serious
3. The Most Hyper and the Most Chill

But anyways, getting back to the Yano thing, I really need to see some character development from him, because this same old little kid act is getting tired and needs something new. He needs to become more mature and maybe even grow out of being a klutz (though I doubt it since his father didn't manage that.
Episode Rating: 6.5/10

Edit: Forgot to mention that this episode was just as funny as the rest. Comedy is this show's strong suit.

Awww, they skipped chapter 21 :( That was the moment Hashiba and Kiyoko met at the Koisuru Amika cafe! I guess the team wants to wrap up this "rivalry" quickly and focus on developing Kiyoko and Yano's relationship <3

Poor Hashiba, but he was already doomed from the start. He'll surely get his own sweet story soon~

Hashiba my guy i DO feel you bruh. It hurts seeing your crush with someone else and more over when that guy is such a great dude. I love the fact that even when Hashiba thinks of intruding between the two he just cant bring himself to do it, thats how much of a good person he is. I hope he'll get a fresh start soon... maybe his childhood friend?

By the way... i was also crushing HARD for Yoshida in that Yukata like OH MY GOD is she gorgeous

My respect with Hashiba has risen! He remains such a nice friend towards Yano, although I do feel for him considering his crush, Kiyoko, is now dating Yano. Part of his mind still wants to compliment her, but he at least keeps that part of him restraint, apart from the home run thing while his team played baseball.

He was also the source of the vast majority of the funny facial expressions for this episode as well. The custom firework that spelled "You Lose" alongside his dead-panned facial expression made me laugh out loud. XD

Speaking of, the summer festival was pretty cute and fun. I would be joining Tanaka and Mei in hitting up as many food stalls as possible and eating them all with no regrets. The moment where Yano placed the cute ring on Kiyoko's finger was really sweet of him. Their relationship will definitely grow after this. As for Hashiba, I do hope he finds his ideal girlfriend one day. A nice guy like him deserves that at the very least.

Poor Hashiba, it appears that he has accepted his fate.

Yano and Kiyoko were great this episode, but I must say Tanaka always makes me laugh, he's one goofy guy.

NO WAY. I just knew Yano was gonna pull out that ring from earlier. Is he being clueless or smooth?!

Hashiba being the third wheel AND a target of jealousy was great. But poor guy, he really is up against an incredibly strong opponent... who also loves him.

Seeing what Hashiba is going through reminds me so much of what I had to deal with back in high school. Haha, but he is dealing with it better than what I had done. Keep your head up Hashiba, let the rejection slide and don't let it change you for the worse.

Hashiba isn't the MVP of the baseball match only, he's also the MVP of this whole episode! I really enjoyed his interior monologue and laments about Kiyoko getting closer to Yano. His friendship with the latter is also adorable! I love that he can be cool with him despite his feelings for Kiyoko. That "YOU LOSE" firework is gonna become a gif that people will get a lot of use out of, I can feel it! x)

Yano and Kiyoko's blossoming relationship is cute. I knew he was gonna get her the ring and I'm not sure why, but a pink gem was exactly what I thought he'd choose (although the teddy bear one was much cuter!).

@Penteano Bruh, you're making it sound like it's that easy to give up on your crush because she's dating some other guy. Hashiba's in love, you can't just erase those feelings. As for NTR trash, the show's too wholesome to take that route. Hashiba even apologized for homerun-date proposal. Characters are incredibly kind in this show.

@Sigmar-Unberogen Insisting on a girl that is in a relationship is stupid and makes the person quite evil. Yes, give up no matter how hard it is. Move on.

@Penteano

My point was, you just don't "turn off" loving someone. No offense but "just move on" sounds like something someone who never experienced true love would say. It's an insensitive statement. It's like telling a depressed person to just "stop being depressed" and move on lol.

That said, I obviously don't advocate for people to sabotage relationships, stalk, harass and bully in order to get rid of competition. That's something people who confuse unhealthy obsession with love would do.

Luckily for Yano though, unlike how it usually happens in real world, in this show everyone's a decent human being!

I also had concerns about Hashiba at the start of the episode, but Hashiba apologized sincerely and hasn't really done anything "bad" since.

If you still get annoyed by him, I guess there's nothing I can do about it. :)

Nahhh, the fact that even Hashiba was shocked by what he said was fucking hilarious lmao I was hoping Kiyoko would be down to go to the movies, but of course that wouldn't fly. I just think he's so much better off with Kiyoko than she is why Yano.

Kiyoko getting jealous of Hashiba was so funny. Yano is a pussy though, who cares if your heart is racing, that makes things so much more thrilling. Yano is highkey pathetic, like c'mon this joke can't last forever, can it? At this point Kiyoko is a babysitter, not a girlfriend. At least he was sweet and got her a ring!!!!!!

Izumi is so sweet, she has clearly been cheering Hashiba since day 1 of her realizing he liked Kiyoko. I mean she even teased him in class about the date if he got a homerun.

The one weirdo guy had an Anya mask!!!
