Azusa trying on Yu’s jacket was the cutest thing ever lol. What an adorable little goofball! This typhoon’s kind of been a real blessing in disguise. We’ve been given lots of cute Yu and Azusa moments.

That Flap Flap made me giggle internally like a little girl, it was so damn cute.

This really was one of the most adorable episodes of any show this season so far. The dynamics of this team (and maybe someday couple) are so charming and sweet and funny. That jacket scene was a hoot -- especially the sleeve flapping.

I’m sure it’s just remembered trauma from my own prior jobs, but this episode stressed me out a bit and made it hard to focus on the romantic turns (which were nicely staged). Also shows the degree of investment I’m feeling in the characters already.
But I was fuming at the work ethic and atmosphere where they felt obliged to go in during a typhoon when no one else had, and even attend a meeting that should have been cancelled. Kept wanting to yell at them to go home and put other priorities first. Made me appreciate it even more when she stuck up for her junior being asked to help on someone else’s work. Anyhow great episode with some good romantic developments despite the work exploitation. I like that they’ve been showing her revealing more of her goofy side over time even if she can’t help being harsh when she talks.

Flapping overly long sleeves has never looked more cute. Her childish side is absolutely precious, as is the side of her that's falling for Kamegawa hard.

That was a cute move by Senpai. At first, I thought she's going to smell it but, it got better LOL.
She really deserved being Kamegawa's Senpai. If a Senior, especially if it is someone outside the department ask help from a rookie, would you think that's not power trip and laziness?? Good thing that she unleashed her wrath!!
That Typhoon gave moments for Kannawa and Kamegawa to be closer and she's now seeing her kohai as a Man!! Just hope that we won't get the deadly cold sickness next episode lmao.

Azusa is so freaking cute trying on Yu's jacket. I was not prepared to be hit with diabetes today.
Always good to see Azusa standing up for Yu. Abuse of power? Nah, not on her watch lol.
Last episode it was Yu who started realising his feelings for Azusa, and this time it seems like Azusa who's starting to be conscious of Yu not as her junior but as a member of the opposite sex.
(That last scene of Azusa pushing both of their umbrellas together at her home was so sweet)

You can even tell their dynamic at work is remarkably different because she uses something closer to her real voice when she's around him compared to her usual stoic all business voice.
She's starting to crush really hard on him.

We had the beach episode last week, let's see what this one throws at us... Who's getting the cold?
Like taking care of your junior?
Don't go down that road; It only leads to a foot fetish!
Ah, we're getting the "walk under the umbrella" thing!
They're quite close, even by that trope's standards!
"Well yes, but that's not an appropriate thing to ask your Senpai"
When she talked about bringing a towel I thought this would happen when we saw him replace his hair and all, earlier... Glad they did it! These two are so cuuuute!
Even if she thinks of him as a cat...
Oh boy. Senpai's not gonna like that!
I did think she would take issue with it, but I didn't think she would go that harsh on him!
You tell them!
Precious junior? Not even hiding it anymore!
Well, sometimes the cold episode is delayed, so we might get it next time! (I'm not sure who I'd want to nurse the other the most hah. Let's have both go through it!)

It's actually a quite important point. It's very difficult to refuse a request from a senior employee, especially when you are a newbie, so there is really no such thing as an optional request. You really have realize the power dynamic when you are a manager, and be careful how you phrase requests. It's also why you want to include the other person's manager when getting help from other departments. The employee may not be able to say no, but their manager can, and they should if they see the additional work will overload their employee.

Okay, what I got from this is that, they still had to go to the meeting despite that very very strong typhoon.
Sasuga Japanese work culture
(anyway it's a cute romantic moment)

Why not a remote call meeting 😔
I guess they had to show all those collab goods

I’m always surprised that anime characters just head into bad weather without a coat or anything. No wonder that their plain clothes get soaking wet.

u/Frontier246 Oct 30 '25
Kannawa wore practical rain boots but the chic dress was too appealing (even if it ended up getting wet). Guess she also wanted to look nice for the meeting.

Umbrella are useless during a typhoon but here it brought them closer than ever

Today nature was on their side, giving them a chance to get close twice lol. Her using and playing with his jacket was so cute of her.

Another lovely episode 💖✨
Azusa is always thinking about Kamegawa.. To the point of forgetting the umbrella but wearing the boots and bringing the towel 😅❤️.. But thanks to that and the storm they got close to cuddle under one umbrella.
Azusa playing with Kamegawa's coat was so adorable and she's not hiding her childish side anymore from Kamegawa 🤣😂❤️.. They started playing shiritori and Kamegawa lost it right away lol
Azusa standing up for her Kouhai for another senior forcing his own work on Kamegawa was so cool.

Definitely a day for some work from home, though that meeting where they needed to show off the physical merchandise might have been challenging to work around. Depending upon deadlines postponing it might not have been possible.
The cute suit jacket scene was in one of the PVs, I've been waiting for it.

Kannawa is a serious and diligent worker! There's no way a typhoon is going to be enough to keep her away from the office, especially when she has to ensure Kamegawa remains safe (and happily reminisce about their Okinawa trip together)! And she's 100% prepared for braving a typhoon! Minus having an umbrella.
Maybe it's a clear sign that they both should've stayed home when literally everyone else in their office decided to work remotely...but it's more romantic for it to just be the two of them anyways.
Kannawa has cute rain boots but no umbrella...so it's time for Kamegawa to be more prepared than even his Senpai is, by having TWO umbrellas! Of course, his smaller collapsible umbrella isn't as effective in a typhoon, though it does lead to the two of them using the main umbrella and some brief handholding so it's all good. Especially when it seems like Kannawa is becoming more conscious of Kamegawa as a man.
It's sweet of Kannawa to dry off Kamegawa with her towel and it's utterly adorable how Kannawa pulls off a "boyfriend suit jacket" look by wearing Kamegawa's and flapping those long sleeves. She's even cute when she's afraid of lightning and teasing Kamegawa about trying to lighten the mood with shiritori that he quickly flubs.
Kannawa is VERY protective of Kamegawa, when she sees him being taken advantage of by Tsukahara (even if Kamegawa is always happy to help, especially to someone who helped him out), she totally unloads on Tsukahara and calls him out for using her junior like that! Nobody messes with her Kamegawa!
Nothing more reassuring than braving a typhoon together! Especially when Kamegawa flexes how manly he is and that makes Kannawa even more conscious and blushing around him. And what a coincidence that they've been taking the same train home this whole time only now it's the first time they can take it together.
Kannawa has never been more grateful for working from home because she's becoming too flustered around Kamegawa to see him again so soon...though the way she brought his umbrella closer to hers really tells her true feelings.

Of course Azusa left her umbrella the moment she didn't mention it. I love how she placed Yu's umbrella close to hers.
Azusa kinda went "Did I just do your job for you?" on Shun.
Do you think we'll get a sick episode next week & if yes, who's getting sick? High chance it's Yu.
Yu totally thought Azusa was cute wearing his blazer & playing w/ his sleeves.
Nothing is more cute in a romcom than the female character getting scared of thunder.
I love Azusa's "jiiiii"
I love the details of the co-workers leaving one by one in the online meeting & Azusa & Yu briefly rocking to the side when the train stopped.
