Another episode which meant another new date lol

It's a recurring trend that gets Shiori and Ichirou together as much as possible. This time, they managed to enjoy some food with the kids. It's somewhat of a generic episode but adorable one. At the office, it also looks like Shiori is progressing well with her career.

Good that they mentioned the fact that she's a princess ... bareilly matter to the story or to the other characters at this point, lol. Still, we got some little flashback about a part of her childhood living on the island as a princess.

Wonder when we gonna get more of that. And also wondering when Goshiki starts making her own manga, considering her talent.

Ichirou's drafts finally got accepted. Shiori having trouble with communication, even to the point of making things awkward in the room. The out eating was a nice scene, they all enjoyed the food and it was Shiori's first time, we even got some backstory when she was a child.

Ichirou having trouble to speak directly to Shiori so he decides to first write a letter but scraps that and makes a 80 page long manga, which was nice and Shiori accepted that as well from him. Yuuta calling Ichirou about Shiori but he didn't know yet that they started dating so he is actually interested in Shiori's work, which is nice of him. The show is definitely trying to bring Shiori and Ichirou more closer to each other.

The couple is working things out even if they can't put their feelings in to words all the time.
It's nice to see them trying maybe they try to hard from time to time but that's also a nice things to watch it seems the are having a lot of fun together.

Ichiro really wrote an 80 page manga about the anime we’re watching which is a manga adaptation, that’s true love from a mangaka right there lol, and Goshiki’s reaction was just amazing. And I’m ngl this was kinda relatable, I find myself being able to say a lot more in writing sometimes than actual words, this is just that but maximum overdrive lol

And we didn’t just get romance wholesomeness, we also got some family wholesome time with the Yakiniku restaurant visit, I’ve always wanted to go to one of those places. And the bit of Goshiki backstory that was revealed was sad but I did love her hairstyle in that flashback, it makes me want to see her try short hair in the present lol.

Also there was near the end where Goshiki mentioned she was reading on a classic and saying it was great and that she couldn’t believe it was 30 years old, and I want to add that that’s very true for a lot of older series or old anything for that matter, I listen to a lot of older music and am currently in the middle of Urusei Yatsura so I know this very well lol.

Dangit, take that mangaletter off the desk and store it someplace safe so it doesn't end up a casualty of the usual romcom shenanigans of being mistaken for something else and shipped off for printing/review! lol 

Pretty chill and enjoyable episode. Had a good chuckle at her initial discouragement regarding the second mangaka ending up with the guy just being a bro to mc who didn't want to step on any toes, and the mc's genuinely happy reaction on her behalf was wholesome.

Can someone explain to me why this show has a 7.13 score ... the user base on this site is insane... 

This episode, and the show as a whole, are amazing.

With Ichiro's storyboard finally approved, he's able to move onto the next work, but Shiori has hit a snag with being an assistant for others seeing that there's a misfit since she has gone full-on digital, or otherwise it's her own communication that unfortunately shortens the timeframe of work. Ichiro wants to cheer her up, but it turns to both Machi and Fumio to have meat, in the form of yakiniku, which this is her first time being in one, leaving the siblings to teach her. That's one thing scratched off Shiori's bucket list, but most of her perspectives are skewed since she's treated like a princess and can't enjoy the things that commoners do, though it feels like she's putting the weight on her own self.

There're a lot of things that Ichiro could've done, but a letter is the most appropriate, which he uses illustrations...turned into a manga at best. Rather than good communication, Shiori has many areas to improve, though with the letter of Ichiro's, she sheds tears of joy reading his 80-page long manga. Undoubtedly, the illustration artist Sano calls Ichiro, and though he's shocked that Shiori is clearly heads over hells with him, the fact that they're dating is just as such, but at least Shiori has a motivation to work being Sano's assistant. In a way, it's a good call.

Looks like things turned out better for Shiori. Good on her.

I guess being put on a pedestal her entire life as a princess made her miss a lot of firsthand interaction with other people.
Even though she is 'connected' with her people she still lacks the experience of truly interacting and communicating with others and so she can't gauge if what she is doing is correct or if anything else, if she needs to change something.

Thanks to Kuga's proper 'love letter', she finally can confirm she is just doing fine 😁

Really great and wholesome episode. The fluff will only get better from here.

I want to mention that I'm impressed with the anime adaptation, it adapt all of the content of the manga faithfully. This episode alone use all 22 minutes to adapt chapter 7 manga without skipping anything and its the same with other episode as well. Except for episode 2 that adapt both chapter 2 and 3, all other episode adapt one chapter per episode. The voice acting is excellent, the art is great (much better than manga), the sound and ost is good as well and all of this imo make this anime adaptation is much more better than manga.

Decent episode although the misunderstanding was a bit frustrating as I thought they both overreacted a bit but at least it was resolved by the end. Shiori's past with being isolated was a bit sad and was probably one of the reasons why she chose to get off of that island. Machi was funny with her seriousness in grilling the meat.

Ichiro is on another level, some give cards to their partners, he gives them a complete manga made 100% by hand about them 2.
PS: From Goshiki's perspective, the interaction with Sano looked a bit strange, but now that we understand the whole context we realize that it was actually all for the greater good and that he left out some details in the story he told Ichiro out of shame lol

I was really hating on this anime. It is such a poor adaptation of the manga. But the end of this episode, the scenes with his manga-love-letter, this got me interested in what comes next. I'm still a skeptic, but the last half of this episode may have redeemed the whole series. We will see.

Now wait, I've seen it all but someone writing an 80 pages fucking long "love" letter to convey their feelings is a first lol. It's literally a manga if you think.

Some relationship goal this was.

Felt like some lowkey cuck talk and twas kinda cringe.. but I enjoyed it regardless of how it felt like a recap with the manga.

Behold of my awesomeness~

Eh this episode was way better than the previous ones and I could feel the cute, it's better if you just keep the "she's a princess" and remove all the crappy supernatural / pseudo sci fi they put in with a hammer.

6 eps in, and neither MC has any personality whatsoever. This might be a good place to drop the series. Came for the insight into manga creation and some sweet romance, but it's really just boring and lacks nuance/depth.

This was really cute. I really like the hand-drawn manga gift. Not seen that approach too much in romance shows. Shiori's reaction was just exactly what you want to see! (I love female leads that show emotion but are also quite forward)

Shiori tearing up from being happy about the letter / manga Ichiro made for her had me tear up some too. I wish I could make someone happy like that and vice versa.

Man this shit is hella cute. Kind of reminded me on how I usually write letters to a girl because I can't express myself well enough with words.
