Yoi had better get used to this because this is how the pair will be like, with a prince.

I think this episode was cute though. They had their dates outdoors and got to enjoy being alone together. Yoi even tried on some glasses. But yeah, typical date. Nothing too out the ordinary. Between the two, Kohaku is actually quite a gentleman.

“I usually leave those texts on read, but I wanted to read yours immediately” And it was at that moment Yoi knew she was in love.. 😍 Ichimura and Yoi’s first date was soo cute! Still can’t believe she made a whole ass legally binding contract before lol. That went out the window real quick. They look sooo good, Ichimura is so real for wanting to go shopping with Yoi as an excuse to get her in different outfits lol. She’s gorgeous in EVERYTHING.

Once again, can’t emphasize enough how gorgeous Yoi is in this adaptation and how beautiful every scene is.

The fact Yoi’s dad is she and Ichimura’s biggest shipper is so funny, he’s actually so messy and I love it! I do think it’s really good that Yoi is making sure Ichimura actually cares about her before going too far with things. He’s definitely hot and says sweet things, but everything’s happened so quickly and a lot of his compliments have been rather superficial. Smart girl. Make him prove he loves ALL of you.

Waiting for someone to complain about how this anime push the dating rules to the audience face LOL

Anyway, one good thing about this episode is that now we know that Kohaku is not a womanizer. A womanizer will never tell his woman that he like her just because of her look.

Such a cute date and seeing Yoi warming up to the idea of a relationship in general feels genuine. And I'm still melting away about the character design every time. Just great!

That slim, curvy, small-wasted, big boobed boy might be a girl because he's wearing a skirt.

Man... this show. Mostly it's funny and smart but some of the comments about the "prince" are just absurd.

@Sokah She looks much more boyish in the manga, so those comments make more sense.

I think in the manga it depends on the scene. In some she looks very boyish, in some it's pretty much like in the anime.

I keep taking so many screenshots of this anime. There are so many pretty scenes. This week I really liked the boat scene at the amusement park. It was really cute. I also enjoy how they seem to be actually communicating their feelings. Yoi felt hurt at how he answered her text message and she told him about it and then he apologized and explained that he didn't mean it that way. I hate the miscommunication trope so this is nice to see!

I was thinking this anime was going to be disadvantaged airing back2back with You and I are Polar Opposites, but it manages to hold its own. I was hoping they would have a serious relationship, but instead we get the trial-dating trope. I can live with it because the writing is not too bad. Yoi is on the very threshold of tolerable tsundere (and a tomboy-tsundere at that). I am actually impressed at how well-written Kohaku's character is, all things considered.

This anime has, in a good way, turned out to be what I wanted Taiyou yori mo Mabushii Hoshi to be. Looking forward to next week.

Despite some of his behavior being a little pushy/questionable ( never pull a girl into a dark room like that!) this is really growing on me. Reall cute date, until she mistook his words at the end of it. I don't think it will last.

I love that Kohaku doesn’t try to push Yoi into being more feminine when they go shopping together! She looks amazing in the ‘men’s”/unisex style clothes, and I love how infatuated he is by that.

@phantomfandom Realmente funciona mas como algo "no serio" que avanzara a ser serio. La misma trama se da cuenta de las cosas absurdas de muchos romances, las aplica inicialmente y luego les da una resolucion elocuente.

That contract term seems mercifully short, though vague. I'll be a bit annoyed if, instead of dating normally once the term is up, they just extend it. Anyway, nice date; clothes looked sick.

I worry for y'all's standards in love if this makes your heart race and not set off red flags...
1. Jumps into bed with her without consent and doesn't leave when asked? Yuck
2. Makes off saying basically an OK text as romantic, seriously y'all have higher standards
3. Says the ONLY reason he's dating her is her face? Abhorrent.
4. The dude brought up sex as the immediate first question after dating. Straight up disgusting.
5. She says no physical contact then just casually wraps around her shoulders? Poor girl everything is going so fast she doesn't even have time to process butterflies from the first touch.

He makes me so uncomfortable. He disregards consent, talks his interest is entirely physical, and he's pushy...

@zaverix Indeed. Thanks for stating all the above in your reply. When watching this, I hear hell a lot of gaslighting from the ML1. She’s honestly too pure and good for him. Her own dad and friends are not very helpful in this respect to act as objective filters to ensure she isn’t ending up with someone’s problem child. His grandparents being rich doesn’t change his lack of morals and respect for her and girls in general.

Moonlit is still a very pretty show and the gap between their personalities is still fun. But I felt like they weren't adapting to each other as people do. Yoi is still a proper, nervous person who can never seem to relax. Ichi is still a laidback guy but feels free to pull Yoi around and make a public display of their relationship.

Oh well. Time to watch the latest Polar Opposites.

It's true that he violates all sorts of boundaries, but not in an aggressive or intentional way, I would say. It's probably he is used to just doing as he pleases and has little knowledge or experience of being with a woman. Still, Yoi definitely shouldn't put up with any of that shit, I don't think she will.

The official dating begins and the first date was a pleasant one.

From clothes shopping (they both looked so cool and majestic) , to the confectionary sweet tasting and then the ferriswheel ride.

I liked how they opened up about each other little by little, especially kohaku at the end how he was honest about his interests in yoi & he's doing new stuff for her. Wholesome

The biggest highlight ofc was the "i usually leave texts on read, but i wanted to reply to yours immediately" and then panel of him replying in the same minute. That really shows a lot how much she means to him. Yoi's reaction to that statement says it all



Cute.

I also noticed some changes in Kohaku like he immediately remembered and abstained from touching her shoulder, remembering her taste preference in food, understanding when yoi had the work emergency and then walking her home which was nice.

The dad was hillarious immediately shipping them, but kohakus blunt answer kinda made the vibe a little awkward especially for yoi who got upset and ofc its understandable when it comes off a little materialistic.
Yoi does admit to having fun next day to her friends. Kohaku did get the signal of yoi being upset and immediately confronts her about it. Yoi just straight up gives it to him that looks doesnt necessarily equate to love which catches kohaku off guard.
This will be a interesting developement from here. looking forward to next episode for it.

Lmfao, how the episode started with her accepting to be his girlfriend was hilarious, and the contract scene was just as funny! You could really see the moment she called him 'a little possessive'—he was stunned for a few seconds because it looked like nobody had ever said that to him before. But I have to mention how much I love the animation; it’s so gorgeous. The shopping scene was so aesthetic and unique; they looked so cool, almost like a '90s LA police vibe. The part where they were sitting on the bench and he asked about her favorite sweets was so sweet, and the amusement park ending was very heartwarming. Best episode so far

I am not really buying her as a "prince" she is so thin and always wears a skirt, has a completely feminine face. She is barely taller than her fiends and unless they hear her speak who would hear her "deep" voice. If she was worried about it all why would she not grow her hair longer?
Him dressing her in boys clothes was weird., he has repeatedly said she looks like a beautiful girl why dress her in such an androgynous outfit.
I can't stand shows that "fake" their premise. Give this one more ep to see if it keeps up this charade.
