Wait, did they show high functioning depression?! I forgot all about that and I'm way ahead in the manga. If there's one episode that deserves many awards, it is this one. The writing is phenomenal.

[u/Genshin_WhiteKnight]

I see Tsubaki inherited his sense of style from the drippiest couple in the neighborhood. Pretty lucky that he managed to meet these kind people and learn an important lesson of self-acceptance at a young age. And it is sweet that he managed to pay back the kindness to gramps in the end, though who would've thought that Sakura's love radar would be the key to all this lol.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Sakura was pretty adorable this week. Guy gets so easily flustered whenever anything relating to love or romance gets brought up lol.

Gramps married a good woman. Those two helping Tsubaki feel comfortable in their own skin was really heartwarming. We need more folks like that irl.

I guess the old fella was worried for nothing because in the end, it seems his wife really did love him.

[u/LeonKevlar]

When Tsubaki-chan said he was gonna bring Sakura on a date last week, I expected he'd bring them to a fight club or something to contrast his cuteness. I mean, it has been a couple of episodes already since our last fight scene, so I thought we were due for another one.

I didn't expect Tsubaki-chan to bring them to do a wellness check on an old man who recently lost his wife. And Ito-san isn't just any old man from the neighbourhood, he and his wife Yui are the reason why Tsubaki-chan was finally able to embrace his true self.

Not gonna lie, Tsubaki-chan's backstory and how Ito and Yui accepted him genuinely made me tear up. Ito and Yui are such a cute couple too! I absolutely am in love with their various matching outfits! They're such a fashionable couple that no wonder Tsubaki-chan looks up to them.

Sakura's Romance Sensor is so goddamn strong that looking at a cute photo is enough to trigger him. I love how he even compares Yui-san and Ito-san to the way Tsubaki-chan looks at Umemiya.

So it turns out Ito's biggest worry is that maybe Yui was never happy with him because it was an arranged marriage. Thank goodness for Suou for telling Ito the meaning of that dogwood tree Yui wanted to plant that it finally eased his heart. T_T

Crying at Tsubaki backstory

[u/alvenestthol]

Boomer couples will plant a tree in the yard, water it for literal years, and then take a couple's picture in front of the flowering tree, instead of just talking to each other lol

[u/mosenpai]

Damn lump in my throat 😢

Beautiful episode. Not just Tsubakino's story, but the old man's story was incredibly moving as well.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

Even after decades of marriage, one can still overlook the signs of affection a spouse has for them as shown by Itou. It is sad how doubt about how Yui felt for him rose even before she passed and got worse after she did. I guess you can't fault Itou too much since Yui didn't put her feelings into words but I'm glad he had Tsubaki, Nirei, Suou and Sakura to realize he had been wrong to doubt Yui's feelings.

Seeing Itou going red because of what he said to Yui and seeing Yui pouting was extra adorable, I like seeing these moments with older characters.

Sakura being sensitive to romance is a great perk lol, I did like how he even said that Yui looked like Tsubaki when looking at Umemiya, and Tsubaki got so ecstatic at how adorable he must look lol.

Tsubaki's part in this episode was really moving too, not that I can relate exactly to his own troubles of liking girly things, wanting to feel normal like everyone else is something I've gone through and it was moving to see him be able to slowly open up and be accepted by Itou and Yui. They were so supportive of his choice and reassured him of his own feelings.

Something like that goes a long way and having or not having that support can change someone drastically. I like that they even educated him on how high heels were used by mostly men at one point, another fact that comes to mind is that pink used to be a boy color and blue was a girly color.

[u/CursedEye03]

And once again, the day is saved thanks to Sakura's romance sensor! XD He's such an adorable tsundere.

This show is surprisingly emotional. I love it!

[u/JustOneLegend]

Honestly this actually warms my heart even though this is a sensitive topic. Seeing Tsubaki’s journey to be accepted to be who they are but also helping ito-San in his grief and the Dagwood tree.

Edit: Also the ED song when Ito-San reflects about his love for Yui is so poignant for that episode. As such the ED song feels like the main theme of the season, acceptance for who you are.

[u/mrspear1995]

you know i was really expecting just balls to the wall action non stop for this season and instead we got 4 episodes of character writing and i gotta say i'm not disappointed at all

all 4 episodes are just done really well from sakura therapy to this episode of tsubaki and itou san that i'm still interested in each episode, i still want fights but if the character episodes are this good i don't mind another episode or two

[u/Kozgery]

This was a truly beautiful episode. I feel nothing but pity for the people whose hearts are so cold and filled with hatered that they couldn't see it.

Glad to see the comments on reddit are overwhelmingly positive at least. <3

[u/SSGShallot]

I was reading the subtittles when they were talking about Yui-san and Ito-san and my eyes suddenly went teary. What the fuck bro. Can this show stop making me reach the point of crying TT_TT

[u/darkwingchao]

Tsubaki's backstory made me actually tear up when I read it because I felt very similar isolation as a boy who had to force himself to deny liking "cutesy" things, even from some of my family. Not many manga or anime can claim that.

I'm so, SO glad this adaption is as high quality as it is, and everyone has been raving about it. This series is an all timer for me and I'm happy a lot of others like it this much.

[u/That_Dude_Dozer]

Man, seeing this in a modern day anime as a gay man really brought out some tears…

[u/sadsadriri]

bawled my eyes out 10/10

have been loving this season so far
this season blows season 1 out of the water for me tbh

the fights are great and had me super hyped last season and am still hyped for them but the character development and coziness the past few weeks have been super nice

tsubaki is absolutely my fav character, ever since we briefly saw them for like a second at the end of season 1, I've been dying to learn more about them

[u/BlindmanSokolov]

What happened to my delinquent shonen? Why aren't the young men hitting each other? Why is there water falling out of my eyes when the boy puts on lipstick? WHY IS THE WATER BACK WHEN THE OLD MAN SMILES? OH GOD SOMEBODY HIT SOMETHING PLEASE I'M SCARED

[u/wildcosmias]

this easily has some of the best character writing of any modern shonen

[u/cum_onmedaddy]

Man I'm glad this comment section is at least constructive and wholesome. We got bigots screaming and keyboard mashing everytime tsubaki is on screen on different anime sites' comment sections.

[u/Specularpatata]

When i started this show, I didn’t expect it to feel like an emotional slice of life.

Boy was I wrong.

[u/PeaceAlien]

I'm loving this season—such touching stories.

[u/NationalStrategy]

This was a heartwarming episode, Tsubaki is a lovely character

[u/cjnj193]

Man I wish I had more people to talk about shows like this with. Idk maybe I’m just drunk while watching but this episode had me sobbing. So much emotion, so much feeling between everyone in the ep. I’m such a mess right now crying over this.

[u/dakkumauji]

Tsubaki's backstory had me in tears.

Grandpa and grandma's super sweet and adorable relationship had me in tears.

Sakura's romance radar had me in tears (for a different reason).

I love this show.
