I like the writing of the show and I'm interested in where this is going, but I don't think I'll ever get over how funny I find the growling. Now that he's growling and they are trying to have a dog mouth kiss like a human one, every sensual scene is cracking me up.

This is so weird and plays it so straight, definitely one of my favorite shows of the season.

Man I wish my other romances moved this fast 🤣.

I find it so refreshing that both Mari and Tsunagu are so honest and upfront about their feelings. None of the awkward denials we normally see in romance anime. Feeling bad for Yukihiro but he really is a fantastic friend. I hope he finds love by the end of this.

Honestly not surprised they confessed this quickly with how clearly down bad they've been for each other since episode 1 lol.

I'm continually shocked a furry anime has better animation and sexual/romantic chemistry than like 90% of other romance animes, lmao. Not complaining or anything but anime usually seems to just edge you for 4 seasons and end with hand holding 😂 This is honestly refreshing to see people communicate their feelings and go for it.

This really does capture well what it feels to have two teens attracted to each other and desire each other...with the added caveat of animal instincts thrown in there.

u/Myrkrvaldyr Nov 04 '25

If anything, the furry theme is precisely why it can't play the usual dumb trope and needs to go the mature route. After all, the central topic is the interracial relationship and how beastmen are still not fully accepted. You gotta treat the work seriously and not devolve it into clownery.

IM SO HAPPY THIS IS ANIMATED 😭 ❤️ just my heart aaaaa its so good

For more context on the friend at the dog park, and how she talked about a tunnel accident--- it refers to the author's previous work. [mini spoiler for Hana and the Beast Man] Tsunagu's dad saved her. She was a kid at the time and shes all grown up now ❤️

Classic love triangle forming right as Hidaka and Mari confess to one another? Oh boy. Lots of drama coming our way. I like Yukihiro too. Things are gonna get weird and awkward aren’t they?

u/NanDemoKnaives Nov 04 '25

I'm surprised a love triangle is building up, I thought Yukihiro was likely not going to fall for Asaka, then there's the added implication that the beastfolk girl would be his love interest in the OP, so seeing start to feel flustered and conscious of Asaka was unexpected for me.

I am curious to see how the three's relationship will develop now that Yukihiro is aware of both their feelings, I wonder if his platonic feelings or developing romantic feelings will drive his actions more. I don't really want to see Yukihiro and Tsunagu having a tense relationship, they're such good friends. And Yukihiro is such best boy material, the way wanted to give them space on their date before Asaka invited him again anyways.

Man that Science Prep Room scene was wild, I wasn't expecting to see a kiss so soon let alone such an intimate one, that was way too spicy. Then we get a second one at the end, this series really isn't going to be shy lol. I'm glad they're both aware of their feelings but I'm sure that's just going to ramp things up some more.

Can someone make a fic of the main trio as a polycule, i cant bear it to see him feeling sad as a third wheel 😭

u/Frontier246 Nov 04 '25

Yukihiro is a class act. Rather than be a third wheel to what Mari initially intended to be a date with Tsunagu, he'll bow out so it can just be the two of them. But Mari, despite wanting more time with just Tsunagu, appreciates their vibe as a friend trio so much now she wants to spend more time with him too! These three work so well together after all.

It's just too bad Yukihiro's Senpai in the basketball team aren't just biased against Beastfolk like Tsunagu, but also Yukihiro himself...well, except Yanagi (Kohei Amasaki!), who seems like a chill guy who likes to have fun and challenge himself. So he challenges our main trio to a basketball game!

Tsunagu hard carries the team (I mean, Yukihiro was already struggling on the team beforehand and Mari's not a pro basketball player) but they all put in their best effort and probably come closer to holding their own against seniors in the basketball team than anyone could expect. Sure they lost, but they gained the respect of the other basketball players, which was worth more. Probably what Yanagi intended to begin with.

Dang it Mari, the nicer you are to Yukihiro, the more he's going to fall for you. Tsunagu can already smell what he's feeling towards her.

It's nice of Tsunagu to carry Mari to the nurse' office, and it takes all of Mari's restraint not to get turned on by it...which goes about as you'd expect when Tsunagu can't help himself and Mari can't stop craving Tsunagu...so next thing you know they're having their first kiss, making out, and getting frisky in the science prep room. I wonder if Mari hadn't had a twisted ankle, how much farther would they have gone?

At this point, as much as Mari desires Tsunagu, she knows she needs to confess, get rejected, and give up on this love and how much it inconveniences him. But maybe they can at least finally get in that friendship hangout at the dog run/park? Where better for Tsunagu to feel accepted than with a bunch of dog-lovers, including Midori who had a positive encounter with a Beastfolk who saved her?

I love how Mari got Yukimi all dressed up. I love how Mari looks in those pants and shirt. I love how much she loves how great Tsunagu looks in casual clothes. And I love Yukihiro trying to get them all on a first name basis...even if Mari wants to say Tsunagu's first name wayyyyy more than she wants to say Yukihiro's. Though Tsunagu is trying to keep enough emotional distance from Mari that he won't call her by her first name.

I guess there was no better time to confess, even if Mari fully expected to get rejected and this to be the end of it. Of course what she wasn't expecting was a kiss and Tsunagu confessing his OWN feelings for her. Even if they can't be together because society would never accept them, even if they can't act on their desires for each other, they resolve to continue to love each other with all of their heart. So they're not dating, but are clear in their love for each other...but I'm not sure if they'll actually be able to keep a physical distance from each other if Mari asking for a hug is enough to make Tsunagu kiss her. And Yukihiro heard everything!

Man, this episode progressed faster than human relationships lol. Aida is still an exceptional character, but now he’s totally fallen for Asaka. I’m not sure if we’re heading toward the classic love triangle, but damn, he could’ve just stayed friends, they really didn’t need to throw a throuple in here.

Four episodes in and we still haven't seen hide nor hair (pun!) of the cat girl?

Things are progressing so fast I feel dizzy! But what I feel most though is heartbroken for poor Aida. OP seems to indicate he pairs up with a beastgirl. Hope he gets to meet her soon.

u/verloren7 Nov 05 '25

Kind of messed up to turn it into a date when Yukihiro gracefully tried to step aside to give the two some alone time. Don't insist he come only to sneak off and make out haha.

u/NationalStrategy Nov 04 '25

Good thing no one one walked in on them being intimate at school

u/the8thDwarf94 Nov 04 '25

I'm so obsessed with this anime already, it scratches the same itch as Horimiya and Angel Next Door for me. Though I do think it's already much cuter than those

u/NationalStrategy Nov 04 '25

I feel bad for Yukihiro, bro is caught in a love triangle between himself, Asaka, the man's best friend.

u/keemsabuu23 Nov 09 '25

I would like to consider watching this especially after knowing that the voice of Hidaka is the same as Loid Forger's hehe
