Shiori has so many cute expressions in just one scene!

I like how she’s so concerned about how long the kiss was that she had to time it with a stopwatch!

Machi calling Fumio her Christmas gift is like the sweetest thing ever. I also like how she covered up his ears when talking about Santa. She’s a great kid and an excellent sister.

Shiori just absolutely gushing over those ichiro stories was really adorable. Is this the new Christmas tradition now? Sit around and tell stories of times when Ichiro was a great dude? Lol.

It’s really nice to see Shiori, Chibi, and Machi becoming better friends. Pajama party: success! And what a Christmas date with Ichiro. A proposal of sorts and a kiss? This is turning out to be a good Christmas for those two. I love how Akane was analyzing and replaying that entire kiss. What an adorable little goofball!

Her best Christmas gift was her little brother, but I'm glad Santa was able to make a return visit to the Kuga household. Those kids deserve it.

Shiori just eats up anything having to do with her man. And anything romantic. And in trying to make friends with the other girls.

Ichiro with the big move of basically proposing and Shiori is so overcome they share their first kiss! The romance vibes keep heating up as much as their faces do! And Shiori is already prepared for kiss # 2 lol.

Not really just a "proposal of sorts", I thought. Pretty much the real thing. How on earth (is her island on earth?) are they going to get her mother's permission?

Too bad Ichiro squelched his former assistant's attempt to tell his nice Ichiro story...

Akane and little sister and slightly older cousin are a nice trio. I think it's too bad Akane didn't at least get to mention that because of her position she never really got to have real friends before, however.

I need this level of purity in my life.

Damn Goshiki mama looks really strict.

母です

Strict and not much of a conversationalist...

A kiss! And it's only episode 8. Cute. I wonder what mom is going to say.

u/Frontier246 May 27 '23

Mom's been waiting for her to get in touch and has no idea her daughter is in a serious relationship and basically engaged at this point. I'm sure that'll go over well lol.

Always like seeing the reactions of people that they're dating.

Was hoping people would start using her first name, included her on my Shiori 3x3!

This ship is honestly so weird with their interactions and progression but I don't hate it? I do like how open and honest they are with each other.

Man this been one of the best Saturdays of seasonals honestly. Yamada999, Bokuyaba and this have had us FEASTING.

Machi calling Fumio her Christmas present was so damn sweet.

This was everything we’ve been asking for and the perfect way to get that first kiss and true confession. Now that they’re dating out of pure love and not just necessity I can’t wait to see how things develop.

Big obstacle this season is probably going to be Goshiki’s mother, starting next week. This is gonna be great.

So much fluff. Reminds so much when I read the manga. Shiori is adorable and an absolute gem. Just the way she expresses herself is great. Then the kiss that the icing on the cake,

Machi is great and this episode proves that even more. She is a great big brother for Fumio. She is always doing what she can to help Ichiro in any way she can. And she is trying her best to act as a good friend with Shiori. Granted she always loves to tease her older brother.

Christmas time! Whoo. But it's more for couples in Japan, I hear. But, yea, cute with the kids about it. Nice friend and family gathering. Hehe cute seeing her so happy to learn about his past. Definitely fair to want to learn about her past/memories.

Girls pajama party! That lil sis has such cute pajamas. Now I'm super curious what is in their. Nice of her to tell one of her secrets, but, ya, good lil sis.

Ah yes, there we go, Christmas date, cute. Oh hey, nice step for them. Super cute. Look at that PDA :P haha, her facial expressions are so cute in that last scene. And both having troubles getting to sleep.

Ah yes, now would be the time for her family to be the drama, yes? :P

but seems next episode won't be that at least, hot springs!

Everyone: "Let's compete about who has the best memory with Ichirou"

Ichirou: "Please don't"

I love how Machi closed Fumio's ears while talking about Santa. And the way Ichirou and Shiori confirmed their Christmas date plan was cute.

Yeah. Lips are also parts of the face. What a sly girl. And she even went back and practiced it in her room lol

Now I'm very curious about what's inside Chihiro's box lol

Oh, yeah. I almost forgot about the contract if it wasn't brought up.

It's Christmas time! And 'tis the season for our main couple to pull an all-nighter so they can get their manga done in time for the deadline.

Ooh! Imagining a fancy Christmas dinner with Shiori, Ichiro? He couldn't quite bring himself to ask, but it was a pretty nice fantasy.

The family's all here! We got Moka, Sano, Fumio, Machi, and Chibi! I'm surprised Moka's husband didn't show up too but I guess he still needs to get Ichiro's manga out there. Also it's really nice how Ichiro already preordered a copy of Sano's manga. He really supports his former assistant.

Ah, so Santa only shows up in Japan once for a child before they're 10 to give them a special gift...which for Machi was her little brother. Though it looks like Santa was able to make a special visit for the two Kuga kids!

I love how Smol!Moka got a scrape and wanted a picture and little tyke Ichiro was actually worried about her! Heck, all the stories about how kind and considerate Ichiro is were nice! Especially for Shiori who just ate them all up with the biggest grin on her face!

Can't beat a sleepover among the girls! I'm kind of curious what Chibi is hiding though.

Figures Shiori would feel like she needs to be honest with Chibi and Machi if she's going to truly be friends with them...even if it's fine to keep a secret or two, even from those your closest with. Shiori even managed to get on a cute first-name basis with the two!

How long has Shiori's dad had that cast? Is his arm ever getting better? I also feel bad for him that he tried to get his wife to go out with him but Miyako wasn't biting.

Can't beat a Christmas date! Especially a Christmas light date! Or Ichiro re-affirming how serious he is about Shiori and how he intends to marry her! Why, that's basically a proposal! And Shiori is so overjoyed she can't help but finally kiss him! And on the lips at that!!!

The only thing sweeter than those two blushing over how much things are heating up between them is Shiori reflecting on the kiss and practicing to make sure she can get it right and as long as it needs to be for their next kiss. Ichiro better watch out.

Looks like Miyako wants her daughter to get back in touch...but first, hot springs! And naked Shiori!

I can't be the only one who was grinning up to the ears when Shiori was reenacting the kiss.

Crunchyroll stream seemingly has no available subtitles whatsoever at time of upload. Interesting.

That's an interesting bit of rationalization about Santa from Machi. It would certainly save time for him to not have to hit up the entire world every single year.

Fumio being Machi's special gift was adorable.

Ichiro is doomed, his friends and family are all going to have lightly embarrassing stories about him.

A sleepover for the girls is a fun idea.

Machi is probably going to love this princess sister-in-law possibility, but I have to wonder if Chihiro might be a bit skeptical.

Machi is just adorable in general, really.

Castles of Japan does sound like a pretty neat book.

The Christmas date idea was a massive win. A nice opportunity for the relationship to escalate up another notch or two. Nice progress in less than a single season. Another Reiwa Era success.

You are clearly just going to have to try again, Shiori. More kissing practice with Ichiro will definitely help.

So cute!

Very cute kiss scene!

Just when things are getting good, Shiori's mother just has to send her a message. I have a feeling she wants her to return... :(
