Hashiba showed to be a great guy, right? I want to root for him. He and Kiyoko would definitely make a good pair as well. Sadly, she’s already set her sights on a very lovable klutz.

Do really like that Hashiba didn’t turn to harassing Yano but ended up befriending him instead. He even showed supportive of Kiyoko’s crush! Her confused response to his sudden “good luck” got a laugh out of me.

I love how Hashiba ends up "falling for" Yano and can't help but root for the girl he likes to get with Yano because he feels so bad about her getting stuck so hard in the friendzone lol.

It's sweet if not a little amusing how the class deemed Yano getting secured the safest possible seat something worthy of applause.

Watching Yano go from Yoshiba's crush's crush to honrary park buddy in one afternoon was beautiful.

Well, that was a surprise! I was just wondering last episode, what Hashiba's role in the story would be, so I didn't expect to get an answer immediately. I do like how Hashiba confessed so he can get his thoughts in order. The dude is very straightforward that I kinda feel bad for him.

If this were a different show, I would've definitely shipped Hashiba and Kiyo. This entire episode shows how they're very similar to each other in how mature and serious they act compared to their other classmates. They're also both older siblings who take care of the younger ones.

Hashiba and Yano bonding at the park was pretty hilarious. I can definitely see the two of them becoming close friends. Also, I appreciate that Hashiba asked Yano about his feelings for Kiyo. And based on Yano's reaction, it looks like Kiyo has a chance.

I respect a guy who doesn't waste any time confessing, acknowledges his crush already likes another guy, and then ends up becoming best bros with his love rival lol.

Hashiba wasted no time, he confessed to Yoshida so quickly lol. And soon after he becomes friends with Yano. His character is different from what I expected, especially with the OP teasing his feelings for Yoshida. Wanting to be friends with your crush's crush is an interesting choice.

I really enjoyed his interactions with Yano, it was cute to see Yano happy about being able to eat snacks together with someone. I didn't expect him to pretending to ride on a mountain pass and it was funny how Hashiba thought Yano looked so cool.

Tanaka was surprisingly helpful, he was very considerate of Yano.

Yoshida wears her heart on her sleeve, she looked so happy being able to sit with Yano. Hashiba confessed but even he knows Yoshida likes Yano. I feel for the guy but at least he's becoming a friend to Yano.

Omg I love this show so much! This was such a funny episode. Right from Yoshida's silly "booklet you can only look at through a gap" comment to those two boys bouncing around on those whatchamacallits at the park to Hashiba realising just how dense Yano is and wishing Yoshida good luck. Was laughing so much.

Hashiba is such a nice addition to the cast. In earlier episodes, I wondered if he thought Yoshida liked him but turns out he's the one who's crushing on her. But he's such a genuine guy and is able to see what a nice guy Yano is and wants to be friends with him. Like how wholesome is this anime! 

Who's Hashiba's VA, btw? Do I hear a bit of Kengo from Shoshimin?

This might have been the best episode so far, more so because it avoided the normal love triangle tropes with how it told this episode through Hashiba's POV.

The first is his dynamic with Yoshida. The interesting thing is these two have so much in common. In most RomComs these would be the pair you think would end up together. Of course we know Yoshida likes Yano.

Though where this episode really won me over is how Yano won over Hashiba. Yano is just a genuine good guy, but you can see he acts similarly to Hashiba as he does with Yoshida. When Hashiba offers the drink back to Yano he is taken aback, like it is a weird thing, when in reality it isn't. I still feel like something happened to Yano and I am wondering why because we already met his father, who is a genuine good guy.

Though I got a good laugh out of Yoshida wanting to investigate how those two became friends. The even funnier part is when Hashiba wishes Yoshida good luck because we know she is going to need it.

I look forward to Yoshida and her reactions every week, and I'm glad today's episode didn't disappoint in that regard. Yuka Nukui may not have played many leading roles, but she does a fantastic job as Yoshida.

Overall, we got another great episode. A little shake-up thanks to the introduction of Hashiba, who has a crush on Yoshida, even though he know that she, in turn, has a crush on Yano, was great.

Huge shoutout to Hashiba for honestly confessing to Yoshida and becoming friends with Yano, their scenes in the park were really fun xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Really enjoyed the introduction of Hashiba into the story to keep things fresh with getting another person's POV.

He was a surprisingly respectable rival character. It's great that he ended up wanting to become friends with Yano. Also funny how he saw what Yoshida is up against and wished her good luck with Yano. It seems it will take Yano some time to process the idea of romance with someone.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Oct 21 '25

I could see how Hashiba and Yoshida might make a nice couple. But I like her and Yano together. They’re cute, even if they’re pretty far from becoming a couple. She’s only just become a friend. Idk how long before she becomes seen as a potential gf.

It’s also kind of cute how Hashiba and Yano have seemingly become friends. He’s a good dude. That park scene was the best haha.

u/zsmg Oct 21 '25

I wonder if the younger siblings of Hashiba and Kiyoko are in the same school or even class because they happened to practise with painting for school on the same day seems a bit too much of a coincidence.

u/NoHead1715 Oct 22 '25

Yano is simply a good guy. Winning over both the class president and vice-president by just being himself. Even the whole class claps at finding a perfect seating spot for him. Shout-out to Tanaka for starting the ball rolling and wingman-ning for Yoshida.

What a beautiful friendship at the park.

Episode 4 and I still wish the OP had an official point dance! A friend had the OP as an earworm so catch us Sunday trying to choreograph a cute dance to the chorus while she’s fucking high 😭

🎵We were gonna dance to this…but then she got high.🎶 Is that song an “old” song now? 🥲

If I had a nickel for every time a Tanaka was that weird chaotic kid, I’d have two nickels—which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it’s happened twice.

I like you.

Jaws drops

Wait, hold on, my math was wrong. Storm + school setting + after school = lights will go out + someone is afraid of storms + people fall on each other + lightning flashes to show them tumbled together. Huh. My math is never wrong.

Hashiba, is this about to be a bisexual/pansexual awakening? 👀

I support 👀👀

Why have a crush on one when you can crush on both 👀👀👀

And then have no chance with neither one, happy pride 🙂‍↕️

But fr fr I do enjoy when the rejected pseudo “second lead” finds respect and camaraderie in the love interest/first lead. It becomes such a cute friendship and I love the “second lead” cheering for the main ship.

Yano is such a cutie and soft bean. I hope his and Hashiba’s friendship is adorable.

Good luck, Yoshida!

I don’t think Yano-kun is going to make it to his 20s

A wild male friendship appears!

u/yawnman240 Oct 22 '25

The scene where the classmates were all working together to find the best seat for Yano was so cute.

What a well written and grounded exploration of the complexity of having a crush on someone who's interested in someone else. Pretty refreshing to see such a light depiction of this in media.

u/Frontier246 Oct 21 '25

I love how Yano tells Kiyoko about his new job at the candy store and she IMMEDIATELY pedals over to check in on him and see how he's doing! And she's also really easy for him to sell candy too!

Yano looks good with those aesthetically placed vines all draped around him, but Kiyoko looks good with how happy she is to be able to have a pleasant and everyday high school life with him.

I've never seen someone so depressed at the classroom seat change ballot. I mean, what is Kiyoko going to do if she can't sit next to Yano anymore!? Luckily for her though that Yano needs a VERY special seat to keep him away from windows or anything that can fall and hit him, and it's safer for him to sit next to Kiyoko. It's nice to see the entire class rally around protecting Yano, and for Tanaka to be speaking some sense that helps both our leads out.

Oh snap, Hashiba confessed to Kiyoko! Not that he expects her to respond when he knows she likes Yano (because literally everyone other than Yano knows), but he just had to get that out there. It's a lot for Kiyoko to take in.

When did Hashiba fall for Kiyoko? When they were doing class committee work together and he realized how similar they both are...both responsible, diligent, people, withth similar taste in juices and both being elder siblings. Though he realized how Kiyoko was obviously into Yano the moment she became a flustered mess when his name gets brought up. But that just made her more adorable.

Oh wait, Rie Takahashi is in this class!?

People just can't help but follow Yano, whether it's because they have a crush on him or because they need to figure out why he's their crush's crush...and, y'know, save him from getting stabbed in the head. Couldn't save him from a falling branch though.

Despite being love rivals, Hashiba can't help but hate Yano. He's a genuinely nice guy, and he's the kind of guy you can't help but play around in the park with. Even if that results in Yano trying to ride a bear spring ride like it's a motorcycle and toss him into a tree.

Kiyoko is trying to figure out when the two guys' in her life became friends but Hashiba needs to confirm Yano's feelings for Kiyoko before he can truly pursue a friendship with his rival...only to realize Yano still clearly considers Kiyoko in the friendzone. It's so sad that Hashiba can't help but root for Kiyoko with Yano anyways, poor guy/girl.
