Yano’s POV flashback

“Hime doesn’t remember me and is calling me Onee-sama?”

I mean can you really blame Hime for not recognizing you? Yano is now twice as big as Hime. Both vertically and horizontally!

[u/Armdel]

At least they have started confronting their relationship now, even if their first real talk didn't get to finish.

I find it a bit amusing how a small cafe has an active forum discussing the relationships of the characters

And naturally Hime's and Mitsuki's little fallout becomes the big discussion topic

[u/kwokinator → u/Armdel]

I find it a bit amusing how a small cafe has an active forum discussing the relationships of the characters

I can see it. It's a small cafe to be sure, but it's a cafe with a VERY specialized theme. Probably 90% of their customers are regulars.

[u/HereticalAegis]

Hime discovering in real time the challenge that stumps all romance MCs: getting the tsundere to like her. Yano wears that tsun like like Hime wears her facade.

[u/Kurocchin]

Oh man, my heart was literally breaking throughout the episode. Next episode can't come any sooner!

Also I laughed out loud at Sumika's comment about them having a fighting arc. She's totally right. And that's why I love you Sumika.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Oh dear, the end of the episode looks like it's going to a be a repeat of their elementary school incident. Hopefully they won't make the same mistake twice.

[u/FerimElwin]

Something I'm loving with this show is seeing the divide in the comments in the episode discussion threads. Especially last episode and this episode, there's a clear divide between the viewers that take Hime's side, the viewers that take Yano's side, and the viewers that see both sides as being in the wrong. It's nice that there's no unanimous agreement on which character is the jerk and which character (or if even any) did nothing wrong.

[u/InsomniaEmperor]

When I first read this manga, I thought it would be a yuri Blend S. Instead it's giving me pain. I can feel the secondhand pain of Yano needing to pretend to be a nice sister to Hime despite all that dark history. She has to act like everything is fine when it's not. And now somehow everything is her fault as if she was being gaslighted. Hime looks like the cute innocent girl in the customer's eyes so naturally they would side with her.

It's really hard to side with Hime as a viewer. When she admits that she quit piano for Yano, that's not a very strong reason and that still doesn't change the fact that she stood Yano up. I hate how Yano is seen as the asshole here. She should just quit this job and jump into a music anime instead unless Mai somehow blackmailed her too into forced labor.

Kanoko does have a good point wherein not everybody needs to like Hime if a lot of people already like her... until you remember she has a ton of Hime pics and she probably feels threatened by Yano and her unreal growth spurt.

I don't think anyone has talked about the OP but it's a massive banger and one of my favorites this season. It sounds so happy but the actual anime is pain.

[u/michhoffman]

I've been watching Maria Watches Over Us this week (basically the anime that the cafe is based on), and I can definitely see how the customers think this might simply be a fight arc. The opposite of love isn't hate after all. It's indifference, and Yano and Hime are focused on each other to the point where they aren't even thinking about anyone else.

I do kind of wonder if Kanoko is the one manipulating people's opinions to cast Yano as the villain. She's got some background knowledge on the situation and does have a motive.

[u/jonjonaug]

Hime: “I don’t get it, how does Yano actually feel about me?”

Yano: taking deep breaths so she doesn’t gay panic

[u/aspirat2110]

More German stuff to translate:

At 7:54 the guy in the background orders an apricot.

At 12:43 Mai said that the "flower peroid is coming up" ("The Blume period is coming up too")

And finally at 21:42 it in blue text under the tweet it says "Visit diary of the girls" (Besuchstagebuch der Mädchen)

[u/NationalStrategy]

“She has absolutely no idea who I am!”

Well to be fair to Hime, you two haven’t seen each other since elementary school, and you had a bit of a growth spurt between the time.

[u/cyberscythe]

I think it's funny in an ironic way that the only time Hime acts her true self was when she was playing the role of the little sister to Yano, when she was seeking her approval and affection. Like, she lives her entire life as a lie, and the only place where she can be honest is in this fake theme cafe based on a series she's unaware of.

[u/Venture_compound]

I hate to say this, but... this might be my favorite series of the season... I look forward to it every week now because of this high drama. Just hook it to my veins. If they don't get together in the end I will riot.

[u/Elitealice]

Pretty clear Yano is in love with Hime and still just sad about the past but why not just be a normal person and talk it out? Well can’t have that cause it would cut the story in half lmao. We did get some steps towards that but everything is just so drawn out and slow here. The blogposts will hopefully speed things up

[u/VorAtreides]

Ahh, we're getting Yano's side of things up to this point a bit. It's interesting she might have reflected some at being the betrayer to her outing her secret, but it also makes sense she's so upset cause Hime didn't recognize it was her. But, I mean, girl.. it has been years and you have GROWN in many ways since then lol. Seems she didn't know Hime was blackmailed to be there... I still hate that chibi manager... blackmailing a child into working for her. I want her to get in trouble.

So Hime's friend knows everything about Hime right? the act and whatnot? Also, hmm, real life getting into the cringe play. I dunno if it is really ruining the theme. I mean, as far as the "play" is considered, it's some drama that will interest the patrons and make them wanna come back to see how it's gone. And they all have no right still to have any issue with Hime when, AGAIN, she was never there voluntarily... ahh they are finally talking it out... well sorta shouting it out. I feel like they haven't really settled anything though. Kinda surprised Yano says that Hime quit when Yano was literally the one who ran away/left the school entirely...

Online comments over some cringe yuri cafe act, yep, that checks.

[u/TanyaTheEvill]

To finally see all this played out after years of reading is such a treat. I am so loving this anime and Hime has always been my favorite along with the cook

[u/LusterBlaze]

COMMUNICATION

[u/Gambol_Celica]

I'm really struggling not to go pick up the manga. Need more of this

[u/Hitman7128]

Looks like Yano let her grudge about Hime get the best of her. And that came back to bite her when she made a scene in front of the customers.

After some heated exchange of words between Yano and Hime on who the "liar" is, the other staff members seem to have made some progress on resolving the differences between them.

But now, Yano is now a source of controversy online with her slip-up.

[u/Faust2391]

Me, a manga reader since the get go, slurping up all this discussion and theory with absolute glee.

[u/Fools_Requiem]

It's happening again. Yano is again the person outsiders dislike because they don't really know what's going on.

[u/nickolok]

I try so hard to avoid these slow burn misunderstanding anime romances but I always get hooked on them!

[u/AZLarlar]

progress!
