A love triangle? Took long enough honestly but Takuto definitely shows interest in Yoi. Speaking of Yoi, she still seems confused about the idea of love.

This still feels like a very lighthearted rom-com with Takuto being part of the show. It isn't overly dramatic, at least yet. Kohaku also needs to keep his head straight since this is all new to him.

Another excellent episode, although I have to admit this was the first time I noticed the subpar animation. I still think the criticism is overblown, but there were definitely a few shots this week where I’m like “yea ok y’all got a point” lol. The still 2D shots still look incredible, Yoi is so gorgeous.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder as they say and Yoi trying to act like she was unbothered by ichimura not showing up to school had me cracking up, girl gon head and tell that boy you like him and stop playing. Their flirt session in the library via text was sooo cute too.

I’m so annoying because I always love the loser in these love triangles. Obviously Oji has no shot, but he’s a genuinely great dude. Thank God he was there to stop that piece of shit from molesting that girl on the train. It’s horrible what women in Japan have to go thru on public transport. He really lived up to his name! Of COURSE he and Yoi work together, too bad for him she’s completely taken by ichimura and him flirting with her only made her think about Kohaku more lol.

Not enough Kohaku x Yoi flirting today, but that ending and the festival next week should make up for it! Can’t wait to see them on their next date.

🎯 Truth Score : 8.3/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌑 (Very Good)

🇺🇸 A highly satisfying episode that maintains its signature visual charm and solid storytelling.
Life's too short for mid anime/manga. Don't like it? Drop it.

You know, I think this was the first time I've seen the train molestation trope used in an anime I've watched in over a year. I don't think that I realized it until now, but that's slowly faded away huh? 10, maybe 15 years ago it felt a lot more prevalent in shows. Just...something I noticed.

Also, how big of a jealousy meltdown is Ko gonna have when he meets Ouji? That should be hilarious.

Love triangle? How? If the first thought she had when the new guy complimented her was Kohaku. She's so in love but still doesn't know it.

Also, his suggestion of the yukata, followed by saying she’d look good in anything, was really nice.

But I would like to add that if Yoi-chan puts on some glasses in her uniform... Man, the "sensei look". There's a reason why I have one in my pfp.

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

@uselessDM Yeah, but Oji doesn't stand a chance. He'll only be as annoying as Oushi in Sign of Affection

Also:

Yoi should wear a Yukata (and it should be dark blue because that would look great)

Yeah, but to me that almost makes it more annoying. Because I think if you have a love triangle that's supposed to mean something, I think it must at least feel like there is a chance it could go both ways.
If it's just pointless or it's just there to basically make the third wheel feel bad, just don't have it at all.

@Ego_Altar Uh oh, hand holding without a glove? Big no no! LOL Kidding aside I really liked today's episode, this triangle has no chance & I'm good with that. Anime' always has to build needless drama this way. Used to it, but it can be annoying if it derails the main couple.

This is what I want, too. Idc how annoyed people are by this trope, sometimes you gotta throw in another element to mix things up and make the idiots (lovingly) not just accept the status quo and realize they need to make some kind of move. Ichimura's always acting nonchalant and unserious. If it takes another guy noticing how pretty Yoi is to help him realize he's gotta make moves to get her to understand how serious he is, or to help *him* understand how serious he is about it, so be it.

While I hate love triangles as much as everyone else here, the lack of chemistry between our pair is so annoying that it calls for some sort-of shake-up. I know our girl is an ikemen, but she is starting to give off tsundere vibes at this point.

love triangle? Yoi barely know the new guy, just because the new guy has feelings for her, I don't think it complicate anything between her and Kohaku, yet

Oji seems to be a fine guy..both personality and looks wise. I don't think Yoi is gonna fall for him but I can see him falling for her. Kohaku's life is so mysterious. I wish to know more about his past.

Oji just there for her to reaffirm her feelings; like she said, did she fall for him because he’s the first guy to give her attention?

I wish they put more money into the budget.

Love this so much, those pure shojou vibes always get me. This is how love was always supposed to be, full of doubts, logically unsound but inescapable.
Anyway right from ep 1 I was seeing Yoi in full festival regalia, flowery yukata, wooden sole sandals, etc, but we'll see.

Sigh* we really getting into this love triangle again just to make the main couple closer.
Its even bad when the third person is a nice kind person like ouji too. Hope he doesnt take it too hard when the time comes, i am sure he's mature enough. But also he doesnt too push hard towards yoi.

Great episode though, also loved that kohaku was on her mind all the time :3

Festival time and yoi in Yukata coming soon?
