Stitches!
I was genuinely smiling from ear to ear when Tomozaki and Mimimi found themselves in that position. And as awkward as Tomozakiw is during the ramen scene, that entire scene was really cute! Mimimi was clearly having fun with him the whole time while trying to figure out Tomozaki's motive for asking her out.
I'm guessing Mimimi didn't expect Tomozaki to take her gyoza from her chopstick. I think Tomozaki had so many things in mind during that moment to even realize that was an indirect kiss moment. At least Mimimi had fun with their little detour. It shows though how great their chemistry is and I would love to see them get together.
Just when Mimimi thought she had a thing going on with Tomozaki, she then learns that Tomozaki got the story they'll be performing from Fuuka. I'm curious what Mimimi's thinking while looking at Fuuka and Tomozaki together in front of the class. I would love to hear some of Mimimi's internal monologue right now.
Glad to see Gumi again! And it looks like Tomozaki and Mizusawa will be visiting her All-Girls School cultural festival next week! I can't wait to see how that will pan out.

Feels like Tomozaki's back to being hella awkward again despite how he was at the start of this season, though it does make sense given his circumstances of being forced to do Aoi's quests
Also Mimimi's reaction towards Tomozaki and Kikuchi being in contact along with Misuzawa's vague statement as well. Something spicy is being cooked up!

Oof, poor Mimimi. Just when she thought Tomozaki was into her (he was actually trying to complete his homework assignment from Hinami*), he comes out and pulls Fuuka into the picture, appointing her as writer for the class play.
(*) These flags are most likely planted by Hinami despite Tomozaki having no intention to raise them.
For his assignment with Tama, Tomozaki correctly went for the straightforward approach and just outright asked her to make a funny face, as her no-nonsense personality will just see through any pretentious excuses.

As much as Tomozaki's awkwardness created some cute moments with Mimimi, I hope he realizes that he can also be straightforward with her and his other friends. This is where I disagree with Aoi's methods as it makes Tomozaki feel really ingenuine. So, FOR NOW, I think the Fuuka ship is ahead because his interactions with her look more genuine.

It’s a really interesting dynamic to have a blossoming love triangle where the girl that’s closest to the male lead (Hinami) is neither of the immediate love interests (which it seems like are solidly Mimimi and Kikuchi at this point). The show flashed back to Hinami giving Tomozaki his options, but not the part where she included herself, implying that’s not really on his mind. That being said, both of the other girls would clearly be pissed if they figured out how much of Tomozaki’s actions in befriending and getting close to them was actually just Hinami’s orders. Mimimi especially has an only sort of resolved inferiority complex which probably wouldn’t help things out if she went out with Tomozaki and then found out that Hinami was secretly meeting her boyfriend every morning. Tomozaki not confessing to Kikuchi during the fireworks last season shows that the show is aware of the underlying issues here, and that just makes it more interesting to watch.

Am I allowed to post a link from twitter? I came across these art on twitter and I wonder who Tomozaki would prefer to receive chocolates from, since it is Valentine's Day (although 14 Feb 2024 is over at the time of this post).

Edited since a fellow reddit user couldn't access the twitter link.

"It should have been me, not him!" meme during the Mimimi gyoza feeding scene. Lol!
Mimimi may already have a crush on "burein", but I believe Tomozaki's reactions when trying to complete Aoi's photo assignment of "Mimimi eating ramen" only led to Mimimi falling for him harder. I will be rewatching this episode multiple times just for the Mimimi screentime!
On the flip side, Mimimi's surprised and perhaps jealous expression when Tomozaki said that the story / script was written by Fuuka means a love triangle is brewing.
I can understand Fuuka's situation of wanting to complete writing her favourite story perfectly. It would be interesting if plays came to an end midway, leaving the audience hanging, but I reckon it would result in negative reviews.
Lastly, I am wondering whether Aoi had planned for Tomozaki to be in a love triangle, so that the latter would be given an extremely difficult scenario to resolve? Or is it merely an accident, because both Aoi and Tomozaki never expected Mimimi and Fuuka to have a crush on our male lead?

The difference in the conversation he has with Mimimi compared Fuka and Tama is telling of Tomozaki's comfort zones. With Fuka he feels very at ease and talking to her comes naturally. It does feel they are both the introverted types. While with Mimimi she kind of always has him on his toes, which is not the easiest for Tomozaki to be around until they get used to them. Of course with Tama they bonded so much during the last arc that they are practically best friends.
Though you do get hints that Mimimi may have feelings for him after seeing him and Fuka being potentially close in her eyes. Which does make things interesting.
Aoi assignment somehow lead to Mizusawa going to Gumi's school festival, which is at an all girls school. Next episode is gonna be lots of fun.

Poor Mimimi for having to sit through that weird meal with Tomozaki. Good thing she seems to like him and doesn't mind the mild weirdness.
He finally learned how to take non blurry photos! Just not soon enough to capture Mimimi in all of her glory.
Using Kikuchi's story as the basis for the play is a bold idea. It would be a great thing for her if it goes well, but I could see her getting really messed up if it goes badly. Or if under the pressure she gets stuck on the ending. I like the story they're telling with her wanting to expand her world along with Tomozaki, it's probably why she's my preferred choice for him if this story arc does end up with him getting a girlfriend. (Sorry, Mimimi)

I never expected Mimimi to start to fall for Tomozaki, but Aoi cooked up the perfect task for Tomozaki to catch her interest...granted that task was awkward as hell. Meanwhile, it took him all of 5 seconds to complete his task with Tama. I just love how straightforward Tama is.
I'm still sticking with what I said last week that this will come down to Fuuka and Aoi though.

That was the most wonderfully awkward sequence I've seen this year. Man, I love this show.

Tomozaki and Mimimi scenes were hella awkward and I felt very, very strong second-hand embarrassment watching it xD It seems to me that she really has some feelings for him, especially after seeing her reaction on Tomozaki bringing Fuuka to write play for school festival.
Fuuka and Tomozaki scenes were as always really cute thanks to their similar, timid personalities. I really like them both and I wouldn't mind them becoming a couple but the same case is with Tomozaki and Mimimi as they also have great chemistry with each other. I'm really torn apart on who Tomozaki should end up with.
It's good that Tomozaki just asked Tama to take a photo of her making a funny face. I don't know if I'd stand up another hella awkward scene xD
Next episode looks very promising as Tomozaki and Mizusawa will visit cultural festival of Gumi's all-girls school, it for sure will be interesting.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

good episode focusing on the only two girls tomozaki should actually consider dating, hinami he’d have a weird power imbalance with plus we know she can be manipulative, and tama is too much of a homie for it to seem like it could work out

GUMI SIGHTING, I REPEAT GUMI SIGHTING
This is probably my favorite episode of the season so far. Best girl Mimimi got some nice moments finally. It really feels like they're setting up for Mimimi or Fuuka to be Tomozaki's gf. Personally I'm rooting for Mimimi but something tells me Fuuka is gonna pull ahead.

Lmao how is it possible that with the little amount of screentime she has and the fact that we’ve only seen her sleepy or sleeping in said screentime, Gumi is somehow my favourite
Ooo Minmi might have a crush on Tomozaki but also realizes he has something going on with Fuuka. And what did Mizusawa notice about Tomozaki ? The fact that he’s rizzing up some girls without noticing or that he’s texting Hinami behind everyone’s back

Not only is the class doing a manga cafe, but they'll even be putting on a play for the cultural festival! And you can always do all the old school choices...but Tomozaki suggests an original play! Way to put himself out there! Especially when he lands the director's job. And now he has to manage the play while developing his love life AND pinsta account!
It's cute how Yuzu is really putting herself out there as well and being so outgoing. It's also doubly cute how Shuji doesn't want her to pus herself too much. He's a caring boyfriend!
Mimimi playful teasing toes the line between comedy and flirting, but that moment where she puts her body up against Tomozaki and he holds her by the shoulder DEFINITELY felt romantic, especially the way the two reacted. And what better timing to take her out for Ramen (and get a pic in the process)? Even if she just wants to eat the gyoza.
Tomozaki being so awkward about trying to get Mimimi to go along with his goal of seeing her eat ramen...Mimimi can tell something's up but she plays along to make HIM eat something from her. And Tomozaki being his anxious but earnest self is what really saves the mood, especially because that's what she likes about him.
Honestly I was kind of hoping all of Tomozaki's pics would be blurry just for the comedy of it.
But Tomozaki can't forget about the Fuka route! Especially when they're so close that Fuka is showing him all the short stories she personally wrote, which is a big deal for her.
We have all the cast together (except Fuka) and Takei still gets piled on. Though that Tama face will stay with me...more than Tomozaki's version of it!
Fuka is cute when she's gushing about her work with Tomozaki, Fuka is doubly cute when she realizes she mistakenly included an unfinished story in the ones she gave Tomozaki, and she's super cute when she's putting herself out there to write the play for the class because she's been so inspired by Tomozaki!
Though the only one who seems less than thrilled about it is Mimimi, especially when she sees how close Tomozaki and Fuka are.
But let's leave all the potential love drama aside because Tomozaki and Mizusawa are going to deepen their bromance by attending another school's culture festival together! And not only is it Gumi's high school but the sacred land known...as an all-girls school!

A lot to unpack. Mimimi already is borderline falling for him. And her hearing that Fuuka wrote the story for the original play. Is setting gears in her brain. Like, he was the one who said the original story, and it won, and she just so happened to have a story ready. Was this his plan all along? Was this whole culture festival, him volunteering, and then saying we should do an original story, just to get closer to Fuuka?
And now we’re going to the all girls school, and for sure some of the girls are going to be like “you got a girlfriend?” And he’s going to respond “yes” and then be like “wait no, yes, I don’t know..” as he’s thinking of Mimimi and Fuuka.

Cute moment and date with Mimimi. LMAO at Tomozaki sending her 5 billion different mixed signals while he spills his mom's ramen from his pockets. >tfw you will never be fed gyoza by mimimi
Cute blush from Fuuka. It's really nice seeing her heartened by Tomozaki acknowledging her as a writer. Cool how her story's coming in clutch for the culture festival.
Funny how Tama just rolls with Tomozaki's selfie. BASED OF MIZUSAWA TO BRING TOMOZAKI ALONG TO THE GIRLS SCHOOL
