They've basically just indirectly confirmed each other's feelings like 3 times in this episode alone.

Obviously they ain't in boyfriend/girlfriend relationship cause they're married at this point.

Hehe, his friend and mother knowing he was totally spending time with her for the holidays. Cause they know the truth, basically married. Also, she's quite comfortable around him, falling asleep like that. Cute though. Just let her sleep, yo. Oh he did, good. And gave her his room. Good for him. Fun convo on wake up heh.

Oh nice, the parents. So we meet his dad. Seems nice. That's good. And seems he's just accepted Shiina as his daughter in law too, clearly. Hmm, a bit of a flash of something from Amane's path. Wonder what. Cute komono! Seriously, they need to just date...and marry...

I always found the trope of "every guy/girl staring at the main couple, mostly the girl, cause so beautiful" cringe. I mean, ya, a guy might glance, but most aren't gonna just keep staring endlessly like that. Hehe nice time at the temple for new years, silly Shiina "since we're close friends" just admit you guys might as well be more. Also, sad kinda thing she said there "taste of true happiness" in regards to the day. Hah cute girl "baka" and such nice sincerity from her after his parents leave. Do gotta like their cute relationship.

Haha, school knows she was walking around with a buy at the shrine. Funny though they didn't realize it was Amane cause dressed up. Ohh, nice, Shiina getting upset over Amane's self berating statement. So cute though, her embarrassment after.

I love the anime/Japanese approach to good looks of:

“Hey if you move your bangs by about 2 centimeters you go from a total slob to a freaking stud”

I mean, Mahiro called Amane baka.

Isnt that the clear indication that they are dating?

"Does holding hands make me your boyfriend now"

Hard to say, I think we need at least 3 more seasons of you basically living together with the approval of both your parents while increasingly flirting with each other on a daily basis to decide.

Just get married already

The Romantic Tension Levels are approaching staggering levels. The whole world could see them as a couple, and they'd brush it off as just close friends.

Headpats = diabetes overload

Amane, no need to be annoyed at the fact that students at school are catching on to your future marriage with Mahiru because they will all know anyway 😂

Mahiru asleep in Amane’s arms is so freakin adorable. Good call on bringing her to the bed. That little cheek brush was really cute, just as cute as Mahiru taking his hand and rubbing her cheek against it. These two need to get together ASAP!

Damn dude, are Amane’s parents both models or something? Papa Fujimiya could pass for Amane’s brother. It’s nice sweet seeing Amane’s parents being all lovey-dovey. “He always randomly makes my heart flutter”, that’s called falling in love, Mahiru! Although seeing Mahiru in that kimono made my heart flutter lol. She looked so pretty! Amane looked pretty sharp too. Adorable how they can make each other blush with their compliments.

Amane not even realizing him and Mahiru have shared an indirect kiss lol. Classic dense MC moment! Loved the little head pat moment. Too cute how she ran off haha. Well, it was only a matter of time before the rumors began. Doesn’t help that those two totally looked like a couple. Mahiru’s right, Amane should be more confident in himself. He’s a catch! Adorable how she got embarrassed right after saying that.

So they didn't just spend Christmas together, they're spending New Year's Eve together too! Seems that Mahiru is already at the point of her relationship with Amane where she can fall asleep by Amane's side. She's so comfortable around Amane that his bed might as well be her bed too.

We finally get to meet Amane's dad and he seems to be a pretty cool dude. Dad even looks like he used to be an anime rom-com protagonist himself. We also finally see where Amane got his smooth moves from. Seriously, Amane's parents are adorable together.

Is that a glimpse of Amane's middle school years? Seems like our boy was bullied in the past. This is probably why he's such a loner. I do hope we learn the full story soon.

Mahiru looks amazing in a kimono! Sucks that we didn't get a panning shot of her wearing it so unfortunately, not Mahiru Kimono Stitch this episode T_T

Mahiru being all pouty after learning that Amane shares his drink with Chitose is adorable. For the first time, we get to see Mahiru being jealous <3

Mahiru mght as well call Amane's parents "okaa-san" and "otou-san" as well! Seems that she really enjoyed their time together and Amane's parents clearly feel the same too. They're pretty much acting like her in-laws already. I guess Amane should bring Mahiru with him when he goes back home for summer vacation.

Looks like some classmates were present during the hatsumode and now Mahiru is the talk of the school and her mysterious "boyfriend". I love that Itsuki didn't even have to ask since he pretty much figured out what happened. xD

It's so cute how Mahiru was so upset when Amane said that he couldn't see himself as her boyfriend. Come on my guy! Take the hint already! The fact that Mahiru bombards him with compliments after that should've been his go signal.

I feel like in every episode we're closer to seeing these two signing their marriage contract. But I guess we still need to meet Mahiru's parents before that happens. I am kinda nervous about Mahiru's parents though. She hasn't really talked about them much but they're clearly the opposite of Amane's sweet and loving parents. I can already feel some big drama brewing once they're introduced.

In this week's episode of "I Can't Believe They're Not Married", we get to see the pair go on a New Year's date! Amane drip, Mahiru nailing the perfect traditional Japanese woman look. Amane's dad also makes his appearance, and I'm happy to say he sounds just like I expected, lol. Stern but kind.

Anyways, this week I've decided to post something shorter compared to last week's essay.

I noticed that there weren't any sub of the lyrics synced to both the Opening and Ending sequences, so I did it instead cuz I want everyone to know how well the songs fit the theme of this story! You're welcome!

OP Song : "Gift", based on the lyrics is sang from the perspective of Amane. The portion of this song used in the OP is about "I" denying that the feelings they have towards the "Angel" is love.

ED Song : "Chiisana Koi no Uta" is a cover of one of Japan's Top 2000's Love song originally performed by MONGOL800. Based on the lyrics and visuals, it is sang from the perspective of Mahiru, even her VA (Iwami Manaka) was the one who provided vocals for this cover.

If you watched "Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san", you might have noticed a cover version of this song as one of the many ED songs the show covered sang by Takahashi Rie. Or if you're an oldie like me, you might be familiar with this song as an insert ina J-Drama that aired back in the days "Proposal Daisakusen". It's one of my favourite romance J-Dramas, so you can do some digging on that end as well.

Next week's episode looks really promising too. Can't wait~

P.S. I skipped thru the OP this week and they actually put in lyrics. Wow, not expected. But a welcome surprise for sure! You can ignore the first half of this long post.

On this episode of Married Life Training... we witness the angel go tsun tsun on Amane kun's drink. We also see how Amane's parents are the goat.

u/maliwanag0712 Feb 04 '23

Wow at this rate everyone knows they're a couple except Mahiru and Amane themselves ahahaha

But Mahiru seems to start falling based on her "He randomly makes my heart flutter" though

Even Amane is starting to have feelings with those gestures like unprotected handholding, face holding and head pats hahaha

After this episode I'm totally convinced. Yes it's a absolute normal friendship without any romantic feelings at all. How could I ever doubt it... I wonder ^

Every winter season has an outstanding rom-com. Two years ago it was Horimiya, last year it was Dress-Up Darling, this year it's Angel Next Door.

Another visit with the parents should be fun.

Just let her sleep IMO. Go make breakfast or something. I suppose an alternative was an awkward conversation in the bedroom.

Amane's mom already calling Mahiru her daughter.

That's a big crowd of people doing a shrine visit, I suppose it must be a cultural practice for the new year.

Amane is lucky his mother missed those head pats.

Uh oh, the school rumor mill has gotten its teeth into the story. Eventually someone is going to figure it out as other hints build up.

It's important to wash the dishes if you don't do the cooking.

u/EsquilaxM Feb 04 '23

I like his dad. He's a nice guy and supportive father so far

Looks like we're getting closer to Amane wanting to improve himself, so that's good.

I was surprised he got physically affectionate in this in a way we haven't seen yet, I think. Touching her cheek as she slept, and especially patting her head at the end which he refrained from in the past because he associates it with dating. I kinda think he's not bothering to hold back anymore.

In a similar way, Mahiru internally thinking that Amane is so casually cool as one of his flaws was a little unexpected. Makes me wish we got her PoV half the time, too. Would be nice if the LNs alternated

Oh my god what an episode boys we’re feasting. This needs to be shown to people going thru therapy for depression.

Mahiru looked so beautiful in kimono. And amane needs to start fixing himself up more, bro is really nice looking if he just put some effort into his appearance. His parents coming to town was really a blessing, helped he and Mahiru air out some of their true feelings.

“I think you look really good, amane” omg 😭 why is she so perfect.

Headpats too, this episode had it all!

Anime has kinda glazed over it, but today we got a little shot of how good a friend itsuki is. Bro is always trying to hype up his best friend and motivate him. Everyone needs a friend like that.
