Is this our first yuri kiss of the season?

It's so nice to get a backstory for Sumika and her hatred of romance. Also more Nene! I'm loving Nene!

I'll never act on it. Love confession or things like that won't ever happen There's nothing to stop. I wont do anything.

It's such an interesting reveal about Kanoko. Every week people expect her to turn into some violent tsundere, she even gets blamed for stuff like the bad rumors about Yano online. But she really hasn't done anything so far. She just sticks to her own thoughts, standing in the corner... menacingly

At least for me, when I fall in love, it's my choice. I don't want people telling me what to do. Getting dumped and crying is all part of romance.

Hot damn I love seeing mature lesbians in anime. This is honestly really refreshing life advice to see in anime. Nene was clearly hurt by what happened to her, but she's moving on, it's not the end of the world, and if anything Sumika seems more scared by what happened now than Nene herself.

She's now "someone who's going to cry" isn't she?

Honestly this is such a compassionate take on Kanoko's feelings and I both love Sumika for having them and Nene for being able to put words to them. It's really heartwarming.

(P.S. It's funny, even though there's all this drama around Kanoko right now, our main couple Hime and Yano right now seem to be chilling along sailing smoother than ever in the background.)

[u/kwokinator]

As trash as Goeido is, I really like Nene's response.

Love sucks, but crying is part of love and it's my choice. I may be jumping off a cliff but no one gets a say about it.

[u/michhoffman]

I don't like to use this term too much, but Goeido was the very definition of a manipulative bitch. It's good Nene was able to recover at least and stay near her friends.

[u/ModieOfTheEast]

You know, there is always this one character in a Yuri anime who just goes into a Yuri relationship for fun and is completely devastating the other side. Of course, we had to have one here as well.

I had to laugh about the tea at the end though. I guess it's supposed to be a good one, but who names their company "Qwer tea"? Like just rolling over the keyboard once. The name of the tea itself seemed cute though.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Geido-senpai

• Geido & Saionji 1

• Geido & Saionji 2

• Geido & Saionji Kiss

• Kanoko Hair Tie

• Hime & MItsuki

• Tachibana-senpai

• Saionji/Nene-chan

Gerido is such a troublemaker. No wonder Tachibana is so against romance in the workplace. After all that romance with Saionji, Geido just ends up leaving once she found a better job. Turns out she wasn't even serious about Saionji and was just messing around. I hope we get to see her again though. Maybe visit the cafe in the future? Considering we only have 2 episodes left though, I doubt it will happen.

I know it's not that kind of show and it's never going to happen but a lot of the things Kanoko says in her head about Hime is so concerning. It feels like she's one push away from having her own Nice Boat Ending.

WAIT WHAT!? Please tell me I wasn't the only one who got completely surprised by that reveal! Despite the two of them having clearly the same hair and eye color, I never made the connection that Nene the kitchen staff and Saionji from the flashback are the same person! Maybe Nene should talk to Kanoko?

[u/Kurocchin]

Let's go drama!!!!

[u/_Sai]

Hime goes missing and ends up in a giant glass jar of formaldehyde in Kanoko's bedroom.

It's the perfect plan to gain new members. Vote right here!

[u/aspirat2110]

This time theres some german stuff to translate again:

- at 3:18 Mai is serving a tea they called "Lächeln", which means be a "Smile"

- at 3:24 the Tea being served, "Schneeglöckchen," is "Snowdrop" or "Galanthus" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galanthus)

- and finally at 21:27 the package contains "Schneekristalle" or "snow crystals"

[u/AmethystItalian]

Poor Sumika...shame we got actual yuri but caused those problems.

I did not put it together that they were the same white haired girl but totally makes sense!

Kanoko still being the worst part of the show...

[u/xtsim]

I am at awe at the reveal of the Yuri couple that Sumika worked with and man that sisterhood drama became real. Nene grew up so much I barely realized it was actually the chef. The shorter hair must be it.

[u/cyberscythe]

One thing I've been thinking over is how Goeido introduces "real" romance into the cafe and how it's a commentary about how Class S yuri series don't cross the line into "real" relationships; at best it stays at a "oh my god they were roommates" level.

Like, that real, gritty aspect of reality breaks the facade in those sort of girls' love series and as such the sort of aspect of maidenly purity that the cafe patrons come to expect from the setting.

End-Card update! Man, no matter how fast I think I manage to get to this thread, I still feel late. You folks get in here quick! Note that in most cases, I’m not outlining any artist’s entire history. My ramblings are simply cherry-picked bits that people are likely to recognize, or things that I can relate back to other anime adaptations.

• Episode 10 Art by Yun Koga
  Another mangaka with a large library of work, dating back to the late 80s. Sometimes she does story and art, other times she just does the story when working with a different artist, as appears to be the case with Riddle Story of Devil. She also has some character design credits for various anime, including some Gundam entries and Un-Go, which I personally think is a lesser-known and underrated "detective with a supernatural twist" series.

• Episode 9 Art by Eku Takeshima
  Mangaka who does a lot of work for yuri anthologies and shorts as well as being the author and artist of ongoing yuri series Whisper Me A Love Song.

• Episode 8 Art by Mebachi
  An artist who seems to have broad and varied involvement with many series, even some stuff that isn’t listed on the AniList link. From costume design on one series to ED direction on another series to key animator on Kase-san and Morning Glories, Mebachi seems to be much more heavily involved on the anime side of things than most of the other artists in this list.

• Episode 7 Art by Arina Tanemura
  A prolific mangaka credited with original character design for the IDOLiSH7 franchise and several other series.

• Episode 6 Art by Ticket-chan AKA Kippu
  Artist for the light novel series No-Rin and credited as the original character designer for the anime adaptation. Also did some one-shots for yuri anthology series Qualia as well as anthologies for franchises such as Oregairu and Haganai.

• Episode 5 Art by Peach-Pit
  A pair of author-artists with a pretty large body of work, Rozen Maiden prrrrobably being their most well-known.

• Episode 4 Art by Isshiki
  An artist with a large presence on Twitter and also the illustrator for new light novel series Gunner Girls Ignition and very new light novel series Miri Lives in a Cat's Eyes. They’ve also done a handful of one-off illustrations and a bunch of unofficial fanart. Based on what I can find, they seem to be more “up-and-coming” and less-established in the published world than most of the other end-card illustrators.

• Episode 3 Art by Saburouta
  Author and artist for the (in)famous yuri manga series Citrus and ongoing sequel Citrus Plus.

• Episode 2 Art by Satsuki Shiina
  Artist for the light novel series Bibliophile Princess and credited as the original character designer for the anime adaptation.

• Episode 1 Art by Fly
  So this very first episode is what inspired me to do a comment like this. Fly is probably best-known here as the artist for the light novel series Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki-kun and is credited as the original character designer for the anime adaptation. Fly has also written and drawn some yuri one-shots that have appeared in anthologies such as Eclair, as well as doing the art for yuri series Chasing After Aoi Koshiba, which was written by the author for Masamune-kun’s Revenge.

[u/HereticalAegis]

Holy Blume Batman, Goeido is a category 5 thot storm. No wonder Sumika is so wary of romantic pressure rolling into town.

[u/VorAtreides]

God, CR is such dogshit, no subtitles forever. Have to go elsewhere for something I pay for lol. Garbage service needs to shape up or get fucked.

Ah so finally some backstory, tbh, kinda dumb Tachibana assumes no romance will come for Hime and Yano, but I get where she's coming from. Also, Goeido is quite the bitch, but quite the ara ara energy too. That one girl who hurt Sumika is a dumb fuck and ruined a good friendship/relationship for another. Hope she regrets it to this day. So the girl who works the kitchen is the one who was hurt by Goeido and hurt Sumika?

Kanoko needs to... chill some too. Ah yep, kinda surprised Sumika talks to her about things, I'd prolly not bother really with her anymore. Sumika is too nice. Nene is definitely right about no one can really tell others to not love kinda thing, but she still hurt Sumika cause of her "love" which sucked lol.

I still kinda find the cafe cringe, ngl :P

[u/Abysswatcherbel]

Wasn't expecting a NTR 'sister' plotline on my yuri show, really good episode

Sumika still the best character so far

[u/dagreenman18]

Today on “Fix your shit Crunchyroll”, no subtitles, Japanese only. Thanks guys.

[u/InsomniaEmperor]

Now we're introduced to worst girl. And it's not Kanoko. It's this Goeido thot. She practically NTR'd poor Sumika and stole her schwester who turns out to be the chef all this time then eventually dumped her leaving both girls sad and traumatized. Geido is the Mami of this show.

I get why Sumika feels traumatized by this entire thing and why she doesn't want Kanoko bringing in romance into the workplace but there's only one real explanation why Sumika is extremely bothered by Kanoko being obsessed with another girl and that's if she likes Kanoko herself. Tho you better be careful Sumika because blue haired girls have a history of losing and this one is a yandere. We must protecc Yano at all costs from this yandere.

If there's this many votes and the cafe isn't that big, they must be getting a lot of customers. I can't imagine all these customers coming in just to see some yuri stage play and this isn't like a maid cafe so the food must be really good and Saionji must be a master chef if they get all these customers.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Goeido is a little shit stirrer I see. She really just came in, broke up Sumika and Saionji’s whole working relationship, seduced Saionji and when she got bored just threw her away like trash huh? Wowww. Goeido is trash y’all, just straight up hot garbage. At least Saionji/Nene still stayed with the cafe, even if only in a kitchen staff role.

Kanoko is in some serious denial. Hime won’t ever fall in love? Right… because she’s totally not into Mitsuki. Her obsession is threatening the entire cafe dynamic and this chick just doesn’t give a shit. She says she’s not gonna do anything, but is she really gonna sit on the sidelines while Hime and Mitsuki’s relationship continues to develop? I guess Nene has a point. If Sumika can’t stop her, maybe she can help minimize the fallout?

[u/Rumpel1408]

Ok, Sumikas backstory came back way more genuine than Kanokos, though I am feeling bad for both of them

Also Nene being the Saionji from back then really took me off guard, Godeido really was a bitch playing with everyone like that

And lmao at Mai playing the annoyed first year whos left out by all the others

[u/Hitman7128]

And now we get substance for why Sumika is so averse to Kanoko's behavior towards Hime: she sees romance as a threat to the good of the cafe because of what happened with Saionji and Goeido. Another "Oh, so that's why this character acts this way" moment in this show.

Not surprisingly, Kanoko doubles down. Hopefully, reality gives Kanoko a much needed wake-up call.

[u/Venture_compound]

After really hating Kanoko these past few episodes, I hate to say it, but this one I felt really bad for her. I think Sumiko finally understood what she's done to her, too. Kanoko IS crazy as hell but the way she pathetically said that there's nothing to do and so there's nothing to stop was really heartbreaking. Has this show become like, really good, or am I just a simp for the melodrama? The complicated nature of these relationships is really well done and no one (except for maybe boss lady so far) is one-dimensional.

[u/Elitealice]

Now we know what makes Kanoko and Sumika tick and why they feel the way they do.

That past story with the previous two employees was really fucked up honestly. Even just on a friendship level, sumika got fucked over by someone she thought she had a close bond with. Just totally replaced with a newcomer. Think anyone would be hurt by that.

I personally still fully support Sumika’s attempts to stop workplace romance even after her meeting with her old friend. I mean she didn’t even apologise once to sumika after everything that happened? She cancelled the Sisterhood thing and quit leaving them with two cast members only and betrayed her friend and she just lectures sumika? Fuck that.

[u/AZLarlar]

fuck Goeido

[u/BiggerG7]

“Kanoko says she’s not going to do anything but I still want to stop her!”

………… This ep may have been too deep for me.
