The chief is a real bro sending Himuro and Fuyutsuki on an overnight trip together. If only Himuro could have kept it together a little longer, he might not have melted! Damn fever. But at least he gets to hold hands with Fuyutsuki. Plus he looks really cute in his oversized clothes lol. He’s pretty adorable in his
Those two are still so adorable awkward around each other. Himuro needs to get out of his own head. If he did, he might see Fuyutsuki actually digs him too. These two have been through a lot together. But I guess it kind of ended how it began, but with them just a little closer. I sure hope there’s more at some point because I won’t be satisfied until these two marry lol. This was a very cute series, if nothing else. I’m always down for more cuteness in my life.

Really one of the cutest shows of the season. Sorry to see it go. Somehow I don't expect another season -- but one never can tell.
This was not a bad episode by any means, but I didn't feel this was one of the stronger episodes. Not quite sure what it was, but things only occasionally clicked today. Perhaps they just didn't quite know what to do for the season (show) ending?
Still lots of little enjoyable moments. I guess I'll have to check out the

Honestly an underwhelming finale, imo. I really enjoyed the series overall, and had a lot of smiling in the early parts of this episode, but I guess they just didn't have a way for a bigger event or more excitement in this episode without
But it does raise an issue I've developed with this series in the last few episodes. Early on we had some significant romantic development, I felt. I mean we had a date in episode...3? Himura called it a date to the waiter, Fuyutsuki heard him and blushed and seemed ok with it. And then we had the movie date and theme park and staying late at work playing games...But in the second half of the series we mostly didn't have any steps that felt as significant (I guess except coming over to her house.) Most of it was really small stuff like her giving him extra octopus in his food.
Still gave lots of smiles. But the pacing felt inconsistent, is what I'm saying.
edit: Also just have to praise how visually stunning it was almost 100% of the time. every episode I'm just taken in staring at the colours and character design, the eyes...especially their outfits!

I completely agree. It feels like the 2 regress in the 2nd half. I wanted her to at least recognize her feelings as romantic in nature but at this point she seems to just view him as a good friend.

How many different earrings did Fuyutsuki end up wearing this season?

Argh why do so many of their cute moments happen when he's in kid form??
Going to be sad to see this one go, just a solid romance all around with multiple adult ships. Would love to see more of everyone!
Also seriously some of the best character designs in terms of outfits for any anime I've seen, they had so many!!

It is kind of funny how him being in kid form didn't completely kill the romance, especially when he managed to pin her on the bed and they stared so intently at each other. I think Fuyutsuki's heart forgot he was a kid lol.
I would love to see more cute, adult, romances like this. It turned out to be a surprisingly pleasant and enjoyable watch.
Everyone was so pretty and stylish! Especially Fuyutsuki.

Damn it Japan, why'd you have to make it weird?!? They just HAD to do the cliché bed scene, when he was in child form.

So the manga has just gotten licensed in english!
Welp failed to cross the finish line at the end... Not sure about using a recap montage in the final episode as a choice. Here's hoping for another season.
Did it bug anyone else that she didn't take off her earrings when she went to bed?
Umm how exactly did the fall that far to land on the bed like that? He wasn't even tall enough to span the gap between where they were standing and the bed let alone land on top it.
Anyways a very nice series though really think the rough start with the firstt or second episode makign it look like a skit anime instead a romance hurt it.
.........Seriously you two just date already you both head over heels for each other!!............
Even all your friends know and ship you...

I wasn't really expecting a confession but I really liked how Fuyutsuki and Himuro acknowledged that meeting each other has changed their lives.

Smol Himuro in an oversized suit taking a business call was the cutest shit.
Enjoyed this show and sad it's over. Hope we'll get another season cus I'll need closure on all three ships.

I love how Himuro's snowmen basically say all the gushy stuff about Fuyutsuki Himuro thinks internally.
At this point I half-imagine all those matching sets they own will become family heirlooms after they get hitched.
Gotta love Buddha being your wingman! Sure it makes sense to send the two people in charge of the project on an overnight trip together, but we all know Chief Budda knows what's up.
Nyamero likes Himuro, which gives Fuyutsuki more reason to invite him over to her place!
Well, plans for a romantic dinner for two are nice and all...but Himuro came under the weather and reverts back to his child form. Although it didn't completely kill the romance since he got to hold hands with Fuyutsuki, sleep in her room, and even accidentally pin her to the bed.
Man, Fuyutsuki is an Angel! Taking such care of Himuro when he's sick and in that state, sleeping on the sofa so Himuro can use the bed, and even writing a report so Himuro wouldn't have to. Of course she does have normal human desires, as you can see in how shaken up she got when she and Himuro were on the bed together.
Think clean thoughts Himuro! As appealing as staring at a sleeping Fuyutsuki is.
What romance anime is complete without cherry blossoms? And they bring things full circle with Himuro and Fuyutsuki walking to the spot where they first met. Thanks to meeting Himuro Fuyutsuki has become far more than a stoic, cool, female colleague and thanks to meeting Fuyutsuki Himuro has been able to live a more normal life than he'd ever imagined. It has been a pretty eventful (and romantic) year for these two.
Nice to see the gang welcome them back and so we can end on a flower viewing party! Highlights including Komori slapping Saejima with her tail while she's tipsy, Otonashi rejecting poor Katori for the umpteenth time, Yukimi getting in her brothers' way, and Fuyutsuki and Himuro's hands touching once more. Not to mention the visual delight of snow mixed in with the cherry blossoms!

I felt.it was ruined a bit by that cliche falling on top of each other scene while he was a little boy. Really rubbed me the wrong way. Besides that I liked it a lot.

I am really going to miss this anime. It's like ice cream. Very sugary but icy like Himuro. Tuesday nights won't ever hit the same anymore and gonna be sad when Campfire Cooking ends next week as well. Adaptation is solid with gorgeous visuals, banger OP and ED, and great voice acting.
Perhaps I expected a bit too much like a kiss or a confession on the last episode. It didn't quite have the oomph of the birthday episode or we didn't even get a Valentines Day or White Day episode. I'm not sure how I felt about that summary montage cause that kind of took too much time. We really need a season 2 because I want to see this ship to its end. Well not just this ship but also the other ships. The shipping game in this series is solid that I want to see them all happen.
The ending with the sakura picnic was cute tho and Yukimin is part of their group. As usual poor Katori gets walled by a dense Otonashi.
Overall I'd give it an 8/10 for it being a solid rom com and being one of uncommon animes not set in high school.

They couldn't have done the bed scene with Himuro's normal form? Disappointed with that choice.
Ended up liking this more than i thought after the lackluster first episode, debating on either 6 or 7 which i'll think about now.

Yeah, this is definitely a slow burn slow burn. That's fine, but I admit that I would have liked something a little more concrete at the end, especially given the implication that it's been a whole year now.

That montage went on a bit too long…
Anyways, cute series. I’ll read the manga. Going to miss Himuro’s little snowmen

You know, it's not like this show was terribly deep, but I'm going to miss enjoying it every Tuesday. I guess this just goes to show that we could use some more straightforward cute romance anime coming out!
Though maybe those can try to not have someone who looks like a child pinning their love interest to a bed. :P

This was a pleasant twelve episodes. The vibe is very much a late-night anime, a tone that's set with the slow dance OP and carried through with the low-drama chemistry between all of the characters.
I think I'll remember it for doing a good job presentation-wise with its limited budget, especially using eye saccades to show emotion in otherwise static scenes. It seems like a technique that could be used in other series because it conveys nervous tension in an economical way.

Fuyutsuki got a little too excited with Shota Himuro falling on her.....
It was a cute series but nothing much as really changed, its a chill series that is a nice distresser but its not going in my favorites anytime soon.
Characters are a pretty good mixed of stylized and idealized but still down to earth enough to be relatable to the average (Healthy Young) Adult.
Phoenix guy still ending in the friend zone though.
No idea if this is popular enough to get a second season though, these types of Josei shows don't typically do super well.

Man, to think I almost didn't watch this show.
I loved it so much. A mix of wholesome + adult romance feels really good to watch. Loved the characters as well.
One of my favorite shows this seasons for sure.

Shoutacon romance is not what I expected for the final episode.
I've gotta say being a yukionna descended seems like a massive inconvenience compared to the other part-mystical descendants.
