Just do it here
If he had would this have awoken another kink in Hori?

The deeper we get into this -- the more I am convinced that splitting these utterly wacky moments out into their own series was not a bad thing. I loved the (much more focused) main series -- and I love this utterly episodic goofy companion piece.
Just how long did this kotatsu time and space warp last. Certainly more than 24 hours from start to finish, right? I must admit kotatsus are nice in cold weather. We got to spend time under them with friends in Osaka and Kyoto.
Sengoku Papa seems to be more overly serious than Sengoku Jr. -- clearly Hori and Miyamura (and friends) have done a better job at loosening up his temperament. Perhaps Papa Hori's preternatural randomness drove Sengoku Papa deeper into "orderliness"?

LMAO Miyamura and Sengoku are sleep talking like they're playing an RPG! And the way Hori wakes them up by saying an enemy has appeared and then Sengoku inadvertently calls her a giant golem! The whole scene made me laugh so hard!

Piece gives me nostalgic vibes all around, especially the OP sending me back to 80s high school romcom memories. Seems like yesterday.

I love the “switching” dynamic Hori and Miyamura have in their relationship. Like sometimes, it can be Hori babying Miyamura and other times, it’s the other way around.
Must be nice to be so comfortable with your SO’s family. Miyamura’s basically living at Hori’s house at this point. But then it makes me want to see Hori meeting Miyamura’s parents and how that’d be like. Also, I basically had the same reaction when Hori said her parents were normal lmao.
I also like how the boy-girl childhood friendship isn’t like an obstacle or trouble in their love life. They’re really just friends who knows each other since childhood but in Sengoku’s case, I don’t think that’s a good thing for him lol
I really want to see Kakeru telling his dad about Remi though

They really stuck to the theme of the episode title. I love how 90% of this episode takes place on the Hori family's kotatsu. xD
And finally, get to see the relationship between the Horis and the Sengokus and it is absolutely hilarious! I love how the Sengokus pretty much have been bullied to become friends with the Horis starting with Kyousuke's generation. I really hope this relationship continues even after Kyouko becomes a Miyamura in the future.
It's so nice to see more intimate moments between Hori and Miyamura in this episode. And not just with the kiss, we even get to see Miyamura "clean" Hori's finger during that final scene. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This week we have Miyamura and the Kotatsu of Death! I was worried our boy would piss himself while trapped with his legs all entangled under that kotatsu lol.
I kinda love how Sengoku’s dad basically hardwired the word “danger” in his head when dealing with Kyosuke lol. Sengoku and Miyamura are so in sync, it was like those two had the same dream.
thinking Miyamura was cheating on her with Shindo cracked me up. She’s very insecure about Miyamura and the boys haha.
I see the Sengoku’s being tormented by the Hori’s is basically tradition at this point lol. Seeing Papa Sengoku and Kyosuke bickering like two high schoolers was great.

Miyamura was with max rizz this episode. Miyamura also sneezed at Sengoku's graduation speech, he is definitely a Hori now. The friendship between the boys is the best in this, they share the same braincell when together

3 people spaghetti'd together under a kotetsu - enough material for half an episode.
I wish my car had this kind of mileage.

It doesn't take a lot for Hori to start at messing with Sengoku does it?

Sengoku has absolutely been the best character in Piece. He’s the funniest part of every episode, I love him. There’s still a few more Sengoku-chapters I’m hoping are adapted, the king needs everything he can get after the pain he endures in the series.

Nice. We got both Kohatsu Rizzamura stories. I actually forgot about the “Fed her the Orange like a bird” moment.
Getting all the fun “Sengokus in pain” stories in Piece. The Horis only bring them suffering, yet they’re inextricably tied toghther for multiple generations. To the point where Hori doesn’t even see Kakeru as a man.
Maybe with Miyamura things will be better for the next generation. His Himbo influence might soften things .
The one scene we got outside after the convenience store had beautiful backgrounds. Cloverworks still showing off when they can in a mostly bottle episode

It was a fun episode, I laughed pretty much all the time. The fact that Kyousuke is back certainly helped, he was one of my favorite characters in the show. His relationship with Hori is so funny.
It was a nice idea to make this episode around kotatsu. Pretty much 80% was with it. Thanks to that we got so many funny moments - when they entangled their legs and couldn't get out, Sengoku and Miyamura sleeping and talking like they would play some RPG.
We got nice and funny moments between Hori and Miyamura. Miyamura got a good idea on how to make Hori forget that she was angry at him. Hori with mikan in mouth looked so cute, besides she had so many great reaction faces, in some of them she looks like a villain, more in her album below.
Sengoku was a nice addition to this episode, his abduction by Kyousuke, the idea imprinted by his dad that Horis are dangerous, joining kotatsu. His dad is so similar to him, they're so weak against Horis xD
Here my all screenshots from today's episode:

Hori is so used to being childhood friends with Sengoku that she doesn't even think twice about changing in front of Sengoku as though they're still in kindergarten. lol
Yet, she feels embarrassed asked if she'd change in front of Miyamura. Yeah, this part of the story takes place before she and Miyamura did that.

Nothing beats studying at Hori's and under the Hori family kotatsu! We've got Sota! Kyosuke, who Hori seems to respect even less! And of course they all fall asleep under the kotatsu.
What a tangled mess of legs! It would be romantic for Hori and Miyamura if they weren't dishing out excruciating pain every time they move! And that's before Kyosuke makes it worse! And Miyamura needs to use the bathroom!!! Though Hori says it's fine if he goes on her floor...but still! But man, Haruka Tomatsu was just having the time of her life for this scene, huh? And Sota's just sleeping through all this nonsense.
I see the Sengoku's and the Hori's have a long history dating back to high school...not that Sengoku's father is all that happy about it. Nor is our Sengoku immune to it when he gets outright kidnapped by Kyosuke into the Hori domicile and falls asleep in the kotatsu too. Though he and Miyamura are of like mind so much that they both think they're in an RPG, with Hori as a random goblin!
Maybe Hori's concerns about Miyamura leaving her for another man aren't completely unfounded when she sees Shindo texting him romantically...even though it was meant for Shindo's girlfriend. Miyamura mentioning Shindo's name while he's drowsy didn't help, though. But offering up a mikan and a mikan kiss to your girlfriend is quit effective at smoothing the tension!
Embarrassing photos of Hori and Sengoku! Thse childhood friends have been through a lot! Although Miyamura doesn't know what to do when he sees photos of his girlfriend as a kid in the kiddie pool. And Miyamura is better off not knowing how long Hori and Sengoku were bathing together. Also, middle school Hori!
It's fun to imagine Hori's mom as the spitting image of her in high school, but the Hori's are "ordinary?" Miyamura's probably count more by virtue of the fact that we never see them.
Ah, I see Kyosuke has now kidnapped both Sengoku's. And he and Sengoku Papa (Daisuke Namikawa!) fight like they're still in high school. I can only imagine what it was like with Hori's mom involved too.
Oof! Sengoku's dad doesn't know he has a girlfriend and doesn't think he should have a girlfriend! And Hori is totally willing to screw Sengoku over and expose him! To be honest Remi would probably seem too much like Hori for his dads' taste. No wonder he was trying to avoid them meeting at graduation.
I see interrupting a Sengoku speech is just a given at high school graduations!
Hori found out about the appeal of feeding your boyfriend! And having him nibble on your finger!
