It's obvious where Kohaku's feelings lie but I think he's trying to be as honest as possible toward Yoi.

Takuto's presence in these latest episodes kinda forced him to confront those feelings. That festival had the moments of what you'd expect from a rom-com. And Yoi looks great in her yukata and fox mask. Both Kohaku and Yoi found each other as special.

“Take it off and look at me” BAAAANG OH MY GOD THIS EPISODE was EVERYTHING. Kicking my getting and giggling. No more running away, no more barriers, just two people fully committing themselves to one another and getting lost in their love. I’m so happy for Yoi and Ichi. They both deserve this. S/O to Kuwa and Ooji for helping both our leads realize how they can’t stand to be without one another!!

The flashbacks to Kohaku’s past were sooo critical. Last week, he teased that he didn’t have much genuine relationship experience and that all of this was new to him as well. When you see how people treated him like a commodity just because of his family’s wealth, it’s no wonder! People are so fake and gross. He and Yoi have both had this persona and identity pushed on them by others who haven’t even taken the time to get to know them! They both just want to be normal teenagers and they can finally do that with one another.

The final 7 mins or so are amazing. “When you love someone you’ll always find them. You’ll pick them out in a crowd and never take your eyes off then” ahhh the way he instantly spots Yoi from across the festival and falls in love all over again was too cute! “I want you to be completely infatuated with me.” Yes girl, let those selfish thoughts out and claim your territory, nothing wrong with that 🤣. Only thing that would’ve made it better is a kiss, but baby steps, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there. I’m just happy for both of them making it official and being vulnerable with each other!

Yoi looked so incredibly gorgeous today too omg 😍

Oh I didn't know this was inspired by Osamu Tezuka's Princess Knight which itself was inspired by Takarazuka Revue, an all-female musical theater troupe.

That festival stuff looked great. The animation is a bit wonky sometimes, but they got that part right.

Perfection. Even without the kiss.

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).

@weeberse lmao come on, we haven't have a alpha male love interest since Usui Takumi, he's way better than 99% beta soyboys in most romance anime today, and Yoi wants him bad, she's down bad

@KM_31 Because it's shoujo. I just enjoy it for what it is.

(you and me both, Kohaku)

They pulled the trigger on this quite quickly I have to say, at least quicker than a lot of other shoujo stories I am used to seeing. Normally with the other guy or girl introduced to create a love polygon, they are used to drag out the story and confession a ton for drama, but not this time.

Thanks to ooji, yoi finally self realizes and makes up her mind for going to the festival.
Her friends also help her out with the yukata.

Kohaki was actually looking so bummed out with yoi rejecting the festival date, i like how his friend supports his and yoi's relationship especially knowing how previously all of kohakus gfs just dated him for materialistic purposes to make him a trophy bf but yoi being a different case.

The way Kohaku noticed yoi in the crowd even with her mask on, describing her features was just amazing. His eyes widening and the look he had says everything.




Yoi letting out her feelings bare and honestly was just peak. Her stating outright her desires and her want of being infatuated by kohaku.
Kohaku ofc had to make the confirmation of her feelings and yois confession made me smile.



If she gave me this look ofc my heart would beat faster and make me have a near death experience too xD i can understand what kohaku was going through and making him hug her out of all the feelings in his heart overwhelming him. Bro just went for little kisses until finally being stopped by yoi when he went for the big one. xD

But good on him for respecting her wishes and stating he will be patient about it.

The compliments about the yukata and making him happy, the feeling of being felt like a girl sent yoi over the moon.



The smile at the end was precious. Nice episode overall.

Well it's about *&^% time!!
edit: Both of them are so unsure of this thing. But then Yoi lays out her feelings in a clear articulate speech. (-10 points for unnatural response.) But then they embrace and we are all happy. (+100 points.)
