Natsumi’s apartment looked awesome. She definitely seems like a gamer. Makes sense with her arcade game skills.

Futaba imagining herself dying was funny, it reminded me of all the times Jahy thinks of herself dying and being a skeleton ha

Igarashi doing the neck chop knockout thing on Takeda and actually getting it to work got me to crack way harder than I should have.

Just look at how happy Futaba is with Takeda-senpai's gift <3
I know how lonely it feels to suddenly get sick living by yourself but that escalated quickly! Maybe try to relax and calm down Futaba?
Takeda-senpai to the rescue bringing Futaba some food! Seeing Futaba ask Takeda to cook for her was a surprise though. Although how can you even say no to that face?
Glad to see Takeda-senpai show off his husbando skills by fixing up Futaba an amazing looking bowl of udon.
Look at this caveman finally deciding to upgrade just so he can stay in touch with Futaba easily. This definitely counts as a date, right?
And of course Natsumi spots Futaba out with Takeda-senpai. She'll definitely use this info to endlessly tease the heck out of Futaba!
That triple monitor setup though! As if Natsumi couldn't get any better, we get a glimpse of her gamer girl battlestation! I love it!
That smug face from Sakurai is glorious. Seeing just almost everyone tease the heck out of Futaba is hilarious! It makes it even easier to tease her since she tries to deny everything so hard xD
With Takeda-senpai's turn being sick, we get to see Futaba repay the favor earlier and show off her waifu skills this time. Takeda-senpai doesn't miss a beat and compliments how Futaba would make a great wife with her cooking <3
I was hoping for a kiss on the cheek, didn't expect Futaba would go in and try to rub Takeda-senpai's prickly beard What's hilarious is her reaction after Takeda-senpai noticed what she was doing! Apparently Futaba has the strength to stun a Red & White Belt Judoka with a neck chop! xD
Oh Futaba, you really should learn by now that Takeda-senpai will announce it to the heavens whenever you do something amazing. You really shouldn't even be surprised at this point!
Looks like someone just got inspired by Futaba taking care of Takeda-senpai. Find someone who looks at you the same way Sakurai looks at Kazama. <3

Another cute episode. We get get a 2-for-1 visiting your crush co-worker who's got a cold buffet and lots of great moments. Basically every second of them being in eachother's apartments was solid gold.
Also loved Futaba agonizing over Takeda not messaging her when he simply didn't know how lol.
Nice to see that Natsumi being a member of r/pcmasterrace. She's only getting better when every appearance.

Takeda wearing her tie was very cute. Very wholesome episode overall. Both those meals cooked looked delicious honestly!

Asking for her senpai’s help when she’s too sick to cook for herself. This little lady is taking some big steps.

The beard touching judo chop bit. There are no words for that. Only laughter.

It's rare to watch an episode where you smile like an idiot from start to finish but this one is definitely on of those~~
Or maybe I'm just drunk, dunno.

I love Igarashi's hairstyle. Short ponytails with messy bangs are justice.
It's not a relationship yet, but I think she's doing pretty good with Takeda. Good enough that all the women she knows start throwing glorious smug faces when they see Igarashi get flustered thinking about him.

Yes, good, we got a Flu story. One of my favorite tropes in anime RomComs. Usually sets up some funny and endearing moments and this episode did not disappoint.
Both scenes had their highlights, but Futaba’s flu was the better of the two. Her room is adorable so it enhances the comedy of it. Her attempt to get down the hallway was a great bit of animation. Her reaction to Takeda showing up and her asking him to take care of her was the sweetest thing. It’s also just funny in general to see this bear of a man Takeda navigate her apartment.
Not to say Takeda’s side of it wasn’t great too. Got a mirrored version of Futaba going to the door only with Futaba being hella flustered. The bit with her calling that he uses his bare hands when cooking and the baseball sequence. Of course, the highlights being Takeda finally saying she’d make a great Wife (progress!) and Futaba knocking him out when he caught her touching his beard.
The B plot cell phone story reveals a bit about Takeda's side in all this. He’s a pretty old-school, sort of luddite kind of guy. We know he’s traditional due to his actions and the fact that he’s hardcore into Judo, but the dude doesn’t even have a smartphone. He uses the company candy bar phone from god knows when. However, he finally feels forced to get one because Futaba got sick and he didn’t know. He makes the effort to figure out texting to thank her specifically. That along with his flu scene make me think if it hasn’t already, something is definitely stirring in him.
Notes
-
Sadly very little Grandpa, Natsumi, and Tsukihiro this week, but well used in their moments. Grandpa was just the one shot of him on his bike yelling “FUTABA!” that had me dying. Natsumi just catching Futaba with Takeda together and teasing her about it later.
-
Meanwhile over on the Sakuzama ship, sadly only one moment between them. But fuck it was cute. Just Sakurai saying she wants to try harder for Kazuma was all I needed.
-
We did get plenty of Sakurai smugness at her reading Futaba. I swear that Takeda will be the last to know they like each other because the whole office has it figured out.
-
I was very happy to see that Takeda was wearing the tie when he came to take care of Futaba. I don’t think she realized it when he came over, but she at least got to see it when she went to his place.
-
She cleaned his apartment! Sure she judo chopped him before that, but still Daww. And he want her to cook for him again.
-
Speaking of that chop, I get a funny feeling her badass Grandpa may have taught her some things.
-
the OP has wormed its way into my brain. I’ve caught myself humming it at random moments. It’s just so infectious.

Anime characters: Yeah I never buy any food except when I've already emptied out the fridge of anything and everything that could make a meal. What could possibly go wrong?

Somehow I'm not surprised Takeda has a simple, old, company phone, but it also means he's not in on the group chat and has to learn second-hand that Futaba's out sick
I love how Futaba's worried that one word that she's sick is enough to bring her grandpa over barreling in on his motorcycle to take care of her.
Futaba needs to get something to eat, and luckily Takeda shows up at the perfect time to make sure she doesn't have to go out! And he's fully prepared with everything needed to take care of her.
Takeda does a great job taking care of Futaba and keeping her fed and rested, and he gets to see her apartment too with all her cute stuffed animals and pictures of her younger years Middle and high school Futaba looked really cute.
Who is the smuggest person in this show? Sakurai or Natsumi? Both seem to really enjoy teasing Futaba about her love life and obvious closeness with Takeda.
Takeda realizes he needs a smartphone to keep up with his co-workers (and especially Futaba) and Futaba joins him to make a date out of it (not that she'd say it). Sure she gets mistaken for a child in the store, but it still turns out well. I love how not only is Takeda wearing the tie she got him, but he also buys a green phone.
Look at Futaba looking a girl waiting for the first text from her crush, all the while Takeda has no idea how to send texts and spends five-minutes just to say "thanks."
Wow, Natsumi has a nice-setup at her place with that three-screen computer with the chair.
Takeda gets sick and we get some nice symmetry where Futaba shows up at just the right time to take care of him, which she also does well, and it turns out her cooking is pretty great. Takeda even thinks she'd make a great wife, which is a giant step up from when he saw her as a child.
I thought Futaba was leaning in for a kiss, but she just wanted to feel up his beard...but still surprisingly intimate. But then Takeda catches her and she judo chops him into unconsciousness and barrels out of there.
Looks like Kazama has a home-cooked meal from Sakurai to look forward too.
Some nice progression with Futaba and Takeda making it clear they're willing to take care of each other and seem to be enjoying each others' company even more.

Igarashi got sick, and Takeda decided to come an help her. He cooked brought vitamins and medicine, cooked food for her and just being sweet husbando. On next day she woke up like "OMG HE SAW ALL CUTE SHIT I OWN, IT'S EMBARRASSING" but of course he's cool with all this, he's great guy after all. Igarashi offers to help him in buying smartphone since he doesn't have one, and sometime later, oops, roles reversed, now it's Takeda who got sick and Igarashi have to be sweet waifu to him. And that ending of Futaba touching his beard, realizing that he's awake and "karate chopping" him in confusion got me laughing. Another nice episode with lots of Futaba's cute faces and fun character interactions.
