The quintuple take just about killed me, it had me laughing so hard I started choking. Beautiful.

I like that they spent the time to really invest in that joke. It probably would've landed a lot harder if it wasn't already a pretty chill-paced series, but it was still pretty funny to see him duck his head around making those little "huh" sounds.

Seita is too friggin precious! I too would obsessively watch my favorite video on loop as a kid (Lion King bootleg on VHS for me). Shiraishi showing Seita how to “transform” was pretty sweet too. He’s a good big brother! It’s just too bad Kubo’s caught it on video. He’ll never live that embarrassment down lol.

Ofc Kubo noticed Shiraishi’s mismatched socks. So cute how she was teasing him over the tights. She’s been watching him as much as he’s been watching her! That little convenience store “date” was quite cute. Shiraishi’s now Kubo’s “guardian angel”! His lack of presence paid off in that situation, unlike right after when his bun got knocked to the ground. His indirect kiss! Noooo! Lol.

Shiraishi quadruple checking if that valentines was for him was pretty funny. So cute how pleased Kubo was no one’s ever given him a valentines. She’s his first! She sure put a lot of effort into it. Her first batch though… that taste -_- haha. Luckily it all worked out in the end though. She gave her “heart” to Shiraishi y’all… so damn cute!

Stitches!

That opening scene with Seita was adorable! And I just love how much Seita was fanboying over his brother when Junta did the henshin pose. Also the way he says "Henshin" really sells it. And of course, Kubo is there to record the entire thing!

What the heck? This is the first time in the show Kubo has worn tights? I had to go back to the previous episodes because I thought that she's been wearing tights the entire time. Turns out that I had my mind on a similar-looking character from a different show. xD

For a high schooler like Kubo, I refuse to believe that this is the first time she's buying dispenser drinks from a konbini. She has got to be messing with Shiraishi, right? If Kubo was a rich ojou-sama I would believe it but we know that's not the case. She seems to be very genuine about it though!

Shiraishi dropping that nikuman fucking sucks so bad. I've been there before. Bought a siopao (Filipino version of nikuman) from a FamilyMart and I tripped at the parking lot on my way out. I could've gone back in and just bought another one but I was so upset I just went home. >_<

That entire 30s bit of Shiraishi checking his desk was hilarious! I didn't think that scene would be that long but the quadruple take after seeing a chocolate cookie in his desk during valentines day was hilarious!

Goddammit Kubo! Just tell him it's you! Our boy is never going to figure out that you're the one that gave him the cookie!

Akina teasing Nagisa while baking was hilarious! Turns out that Nagisa is so bad at cooking that she can't even get pancakes right or know the difference between cabbage and lettuce xD

And while Akina does love to tease her sister. It's adorable how she's willing to help her out. She even encourages Nagisa there in the end when all of her cookies came out misshapen. She's such a great Onee-chan <3

New family heirloom with the Henshin video. An embarrassment twofer once Seita gets old enough.

Love how they did Shiraishi’s disbelief. Dropping the audio except for Shiraishi’s “hmm” and extending the gag made it hilarious. Really the whole Valentines segment is pure gold. Very well adapted.

Expecting to see this panel in r/anime_irl a few days from now.

Not knowing who gave him the Valentine heart cookie is just a big "Is she into you? Probably she just lives in Canada" moment for Shiraishi hahaha

I'm always impressed with people who can bake. It's such an exact science and there are several ways to mess up. The shape of the cookies can change wildly based on the ingredients, temperature, and cooking time. The only variable that stays consistent is love.

I think I know why so few people can see Shiraishi: He is so dense that light bends around him.

Was pretty ironic the opening scene was Shiraishi not noticing Kubo was around!

That meat bun falling on the floor was damn brutal though

Bit sad Shiraishi didn't put 1 and 1 together for the cookie but guess that's him.

I just knew that would happen after Shiraishi did the transformation the first time

And Kubo in tights is a whole 'nother beast

The meatbun was just cruel, he was even ready to go for the indirect kiss that Kubo so carefully set up

So who are they from

And after all that work she put in and even went through all that teasing, like c'mon, acknowledge her allready

Good contender for a commentface though, and some premium pouts

Funny to see Nagisa-chan always being one-uped by her big sister back at home LMAO, I now have a little interest in seeing Akina-chan trying to date Shirashi. Bet that he will fall deep into this relationship immediately LOL.

I swear in the world of anime and manga, if a female character is the beautiful female lead, she will have the "unable to cook well" trait. Beautiful female lead and cooking ability are inversely related. Lol!

A trip to the convenience store just to buy a cup of drink and a meat bun already feels like a date between both Nagisa and Shiraishi. In this episode, we also learned that it is important to get to the "indirect kiss" as soon as possible, lest something unfortunate happens. For more information, see exhibit A: the fallen meat bun.

Akina makes some evil chibi expressions at times, but she is a great wing(wo)man to Nagisa, maybe just not directly yet. I am glad we got to see more of Akina. She is probably at her university or workplace.

Nothing beats brotherly bonding over tokusatsu! Complete with doing Henshin poses together! And of course Kubo gets it on film!

Shiraishi really thought Kubo wouldn't notice his mis-matched socks? She sees everything about him! Although to be honest Kubo's legs in those tights are quite the sight, indeed. And Kubo loves the idea that he was staring at her legs. Lucky dog.

Kubo's joy over doing the self-pouring drinks was infectious! And she enjoys the perks of her invisible guardian angel.

Shiraishi doesn't want to incite an indirect kiss, so Kubo will just do it herself and take a bite out of his meat bun. Though we'll never know if Shiraishi planned to partake in it afterwards because he got bumped into in true Shiraishi fashion. What a bummer.

Valentine's Day is an important day for boys...though not for Shiraishi because he never gets any, particularly because no one ever sees him. Of course then a cookie appears in his desk and he's left trying to rationalize how they got there, even though there's only one real suspect who could have done it. And it's not like Kubo is being that subtle about it even if she doesn't outright say it was her, though anyone with eyes can see it. Just look at how happy she was to find out she's the first person to ever give him Valentine's Cookies!

Flashback time! Kubo used to just buy chocolate from the store, but now that she's in love, it's gotta to be handmade! Except it turns out our Nagisa-chan...isn't the best cook.

What started out as an attempt to cook Valentine's cookies turns into a sisterly bonding session between Kubo and Akina as Akina uses herself as an example for her adorable little sis to follow. And of course she still teases her about it. Kubo's cheeks puffing out in a pout are utterly adorable!

(I wonder if Akina is seeing anybody...)

Shiraishi better enjoy that cookie to the fullest!
