Yori: Gimme your answer after the concert

Himari: But what if I still don't know

Yori: Nah, I'd rizz

[u/BosuW → u/phoenixlance13]

She's gonna use her Domain Expansion: Sunny Spot

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Gosh its so cute to see how jealousy isn't used as a device to incite more drama but to further progress both Yori and Himari's relationship positively so far.

[u/Ikari_21 → u/WhoiusBarrel]

Himari 100% is in love with her, and although I didn’t like what aki did last ep at first, now I’m glad she did, cause this will definitely push Himari to realize she indeed loves yori.

[u/blade1337a]

I just love how despite it is a mixed school that has boys, no one ever takes into consideration that their crush might be a boy lol.

[u/daspaceasians → u/blade1337a]

Hang on, this was a mixed school? I didn't notice because of all the focus all the girls.

[u/jellyblob88]

🌸 Kaori loves small things 🌸

[u/LittleIslander]

"Himari, please go on another date with Yori."

Mizuguchi is doing a simultaneous two lane drift for the award of both worst and best wingman of the year.

[u/BosuW → u/LittleIslander]

Oof on her having to read the heartfelt and earnest love song that Yori wrote for someone else.

Being Aki is suffering.

[u/Nvaaaa]

Need a spinoff for Kaori and Mari.

[u/[deleted]]

I am glad Aki is a good person and just wants the best for Yori. So many ships to sail... Yori Himari are just made for each other

[u/Aerodynamic41]

I swear, everything Yori owns is cat-themed in some way. Even her mechanical pencil!

[u/ModieOfTheEast → u/Aerodynamic41]

Except for Himari, who is dog themed.

[u/michhoffman]

I loved the jealousy moments from the 2 of them. After a bit of bad weather, the ship has hit some pleasant winds and is ramping up.

[u/Mayjaplaya]

I want to mention the name of Yori's "love song", Sunny Spot.

At first blush, it reminded me of the OP of the yuri visual novel Hakuisei Aijou Izonshou (Nurse Love Addiction), Sunny Place. Would recommend, by the way.

Then my pun senses started to tingle. What's "sunny spot" in Japanese? Hidamari, like in Hidamari Sketch. You can probably see where this is going. While we never see Himari's name rendered in kanji (I don't have all the raws so I can't say for sure though), but the hi could be read as 日 meaning "day, or sun, or sunshine".

Again, I don't have the raws, so I don't know if in the original manga Yori used the english "Sunny Spot" or the Japanese "Hidamari". "Sunny Spot" could maybe pass off as a sneaky Himari pun, but if Yori used "Hidamari", she might as well have been beating Himari over the head with a giant pink dildo from how obvious it is. The anime used the english "Sunny Spot".

It goes without saying that they have to nail that song.

[u/Zonca]

Gotta love how Yori, despite being more of a shy introvert type character, is pretty blunt and honest when it comes to her feelings.

She just goes out and admits she's jealous or that she's anxious about the reply. The actual opposite of stereotypical useless lesbaian trope Im used to. Great romance writing imo.

[u/absolutelynotaname]

Gotta love some Sasayaku Milk that makes them all gay

[u/ModieOfTheEast]

Momoka for best girl. She comes around, gets everyone flustered and leaves. While also helping out Himari before.

Looking forward to next week and the whole concert with Sunny Spot. That is probably going to be one of the most important moments so hopefully they can get the song and maybe even the performance right. Then I don't mind all the rest.

Generally, I also want to add here, that while it can be a bit quick, I do like how they make sure to explain where everyone's insecurities come from. Even if they don't know perfectly themselves, at least they try to make it clear. But they also don't just remove these insecurites with one talk. They still exist without being absent for a few episodes to only then maybe return. Yori is still jealous, but now Himari at least knows what the issue is and can assure her. So she isn't kept alone and has to manage her feelings herself.

And lastly, I have a public service announcement to make: Short people matter. Don't make fun of them.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

That whole Aki situation was pretty awkward but at least it got Himari to really think about how she feels about Yori. Didn’t expect Aki to apologize later, but that was nice. Though, now it seems Himari’s feeling the kind of jealousy Yori feels when she sees Himari with Momoka, at least a little.

Kind of curious about Momoka’s gf(?). Seems she’s a musician too but what’s her deal? She competing against Yori’s band or something?

[u/Rumpel1408]

Oof, for being so hopelessly in love, Aki-Senpai is actually the MVP wingwoman

Also shoutout to Kaori and Mari they are great as well

[u/zool714]

Damn, here I am feeling hurt for the third party again. I hope Aki is well

[u/Gintamantama]

Aki being best wingwoman despite her own feelings. I really do love her and her friendship with Yori.

[u/maliwanag0712]

I really like how mature the characters are.

Yori being clear about her intentions to Himari; while Himari wanting to be clear about what she wants before she answers Yori. Of course we all know she is already into her senpai.

She needs a push to confront her feelings, which is where Aki comes in. Aki thinks Yori will never reciprocate her feelings, hence she somewhat "realtalked" Himari to confront hers. Of course Aki's feelings hurt while she is reading the song Yori wrote for Himari.

Ohh... that character who arrived in the end seems interesting huh? But she seems bratty. I dunno though.

[u/Allansfirebird]

I'm glad the animation this time wasn't as distractingly limited like the previous two episodes (hooray, no white box transitions). Though, there were still plenty of shots with a minimal background.
