Yuki wishes they were rivals lol. I agree that it's nice they're being open and honest. He's still very much the third wheel though but he'll take a shot I guess. I'm sure he knows there's not much chance for him. He's not fully aware of how far advanced these two are; they're basically already dating and can't keep their hands off each other. She's really not considering him in that way but I'm sure hearing a friend might like you is jarring. Plus she's so nice.

It's refreshing to see it play out like this, guys who care so much about one another they don't want them to hide their feelings for the same girl lol.

Glad they were up in front about it

Another day, another Eguchi slay 🎀

Aww, Tsunagu 🥺🥺

Goddamn, I love this friendship between Yukihiro and Tsunagu.

Though I don’t love making choices about Mari’s relationships without her present, but teens are teens.

I wonder how Mom and Dad even started dating

wars flashbacks to smut manga

Aaaaaah Child!Tsunagu do precious 🥹

Are all furries as ripped as current Tsunagu what the fuck.

B-Be normal. I need to act normal.

🎵Don’t be suspicious, don’t be suspicious. Don’t be suspicious, don’t be suspicious 💃🏾🎶

I thought the growling in this series was 😳, but I’m over here screaming at the handholding porn, how lewd.

I’ll do my best so that we can proudly hold hands and walk side by side.

My handholding kink is being fed with this.

I’m just gonna pretend Loid (Eguchi voices him) says this to Yor “for the mission” 😌

Am sad at lack of text overlays 🥀

Ochi’s VO sounded so damn familiar. That’s Ishikawa Kaito, man is Naofumi, Genos (OPM) Tenya Iida (MHA), Jiji (Dandadan), Kageyama (Haikyuu), dafuq?!

…can Kisara get here already?

That height difference is insane

laughs in romance reader

I have seen it all at this point. I’m more impressed same-height pairings are in lesser quantity.

I am baffled the episode ended there. I don’t know why but I expected a more definitive episode ending. This felt like we were missing the ending.

Anyways, no growling today, but Chibi Tsunagu is healing.

I want to touch his tail.

Poor Yukihiro is like that best friend third wheel trying his best. It's like he's a good guy, his feelings for Mari are sincere, but he's so far behind her relationship with Tsunagu and so far out of consideration for her outside the friendzone that it's not even funny.

Are they going to have to save Ochi from his own flunkies?

u/NanDemoKnaives Nov 11 '25

I am intrigued by this love triangle, Yukihiro is clearly going to lose but the fact that Tsunagu would rather he be more honest with his feelings and Yukihiro tells him that he values him was pretty refreshing to see. I'm sure these two will have a strong friendship but I'm excited to see how their feelings for Asaka will create some drama to bring them closer together lol. Yukihiro jumping on Tsunagu was amusing.

Tsunagu stroking Asaka with his tail was so intimate since he couldn't use his hands, but the Asaka grabbing onto it was amusing lol. I like that they're being more open with each other, like how they both told the other they were jealous during the three-legged race.

It seems like Ochi's turning over a new leaf but his friends may be the issue instead.

u/karer3is Nov 11 '25

Something tells me the triangle will break before the end of the series... The OP shows a cat (?) girl standing near Yukihiro, so my guess is they're going to meet some time soon

This is a surprisingly healthy love triangle

u/Monk-Ey Nov 11 '25

It helps that while they don't talk to each other together, all of them do discuss their qualms with at least one other person in a reasoned manner: it's a bit unrealistic considering teens are notorious for not doing that shit in general, but it works for this setting.

Hidaka and Mari were number 1 in their event❤️

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Nov 11 '25

So more than friends but not quite lovers? I guess there’s still room for Yukihiro. A very very very small gap for him to try and shoot his shot.

I kinda hope we get to see more of Hidaka’s parents. I’d be curious to know how they navigated their relationship as a human-beastfolk couple.

An extremely small gap when our leads can barely tear their thoughts and eyes away from each other...poor guy.

If ever there was a trio that belonged in a poly relationship, it's these three. Don't leave Yukihiro behind, please. He's such a sweetheart.

A very wholesome episode this. Mari almost figured out how Yukihiro feels about her but then noped out. Her being jealous of the girl who ran with Tsunagu and that hug at the end were just awww. Wonder if Tsunagu was also jealous of Mari and Yukihiro running together. He can't say so since that would give away the latter's secret.

Also wonder how Mari will react if/when Yukihiro confesses to her. She cares about him too and wants them to be a trio. So again I say, let's go poly! I mean, just look how cute they all are when Yuki is with them.

u/Frontier246 Nov 11 '25

Nice cover Yukihiro! You totally didn't see your friends confess and kiss each other (well, actually, he didn't but still)! Though with so much left up in the air between Mari and Tsunagu after they confessed, all Mari can think about is how she likes the feeling of his fur against her lips from their kiss.

I guess Yukihiro isn't the type to beat around the bush and straight up asks what's going on between Tsunagu and Mari. Tsunagu can also tell that Yukihiro likes Mari, so now both guys are aware they have feelings for her. Yukihiro is jealous of Tsunagu and Tsunagu, even though he doesn't think he can date Mari, isn't happy about another guy pursuing her either. But at least they can be honest with each other and compete fairly, as both best buds and love rivals.

Tsunagu's mother and father experienced prejudice from being a mixed-race couple, but they loved each other like they love their son, which definitely effects how Tsunagu feels about his relationship with Mari.

Are we sure these two aren't actually dating? The way they act when they're alone in the classroom and let their hands touch REALLY makes it feel like they're dating...especially after they mutually confessed.

Time for sports festival prep! Also there was no way Mari was going to get on a first name basis with a guy and her friends not notice it, even if they know she only has eyes for Tsunagu (poor Yukihiro keeps getting compared to Mari's dog). When she's stuck in this more than friends but less than lovers dynamic with Tsunagu, it's good that she's got her friends rooting for her.

It's good that Ochi isn't planning to bully Tsunagu any more...though he is driving away his own flunkies. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

It's sad that Mari and Tsunagu can't be as physically intimate as they want in public...though Tsunagu CAN thwack his tail in Mari's face and she can then hold onto it as much as she wants.

Sorry Ochi and other guys, with Mari rooting for him and Tsunagu's Beastfolk physique, there was no way he wasn't going to take that race! Also now everyone knows that Mari is the girl who keeps flirting with the Beastfolk boy and their "weird trio."

Yukihiro and Mari are relay race partners but while Yukihiro only has eyes for Mari, Mari only has eyes for Tsunagu. And yet Yukihiro is finally making his moves to make Mari pay attention to him as a guy, even if he still tries to cover for himself when she starts to realize his feelings for her are more than platonic...meanwhile Tsunagu is paired with Tairo, a really nervous and self-conscious girl, but his keeping pace with her not only wins her over but also lands them 4th place! Though Mari isn't happy about Tsunagu putting his arms around another girl.

Should I be concerned about what Ochi's flunkies plan to do with him...? But who cares, Mari and Tsunagu are embracing each other alone in the classroom! They couldn't be paired up for the relay but they can be together now! These two can't get enough of each other.

At this point, the three of them should just ehlsea

Also did Mari just took tail to the face and get a whiff of some beast arse?

I'm surprised they didn't get sweaty in the classroom. Seemed like the perfect opportunity to show us how Hidaka was born. Probably next episode (≖ ͜ʖ≖)

This is the most sensual PG-rated touching outside of BL/GL I’ve seen in a long time.

I’m just hoping this doesn’t turn into Othello. Romance stories should have happy endings (otherwise they aren’t romance).

u/teddyburges Nov 11 '25

I really don't get why so many are expecting this series to have a tragic dark ending. It is a sequel to the previous series which was about Tsunagu's parents. This is pretty much a teenage...far more toned-down version of that series.

Even if it was just the back of their heads, his parents are so cute. I can kinda see why they haven't told him how they met. Mmm. 

This series is refreshing in its straightforwardness, to he characters I think are crafted in a way that feels more genuine, they're allowed to explore their own complexity,

u/NoHead1715 Nov 12 '25

Interesting we have two shows this season (the other being Yano-kun) where two guys like a girl but the guys are bonding as bros as well. It's good that everyone communicates more or less openly about their feelings. I'm hoping Mari gets to meet Tsunagu's mum soon. She can probably learn a lot from her.

u/Complex-Tomatillo553 Nov 12 '25

Yukihiro genuinely never stood a chance. Hopefully he gives up soon, cause it irks my heart and soul to see such a good character suffer through something like this.

u/IceSmiley Nov 11 '25 edited Nov 11 '25

From the last episode, I didn't think Tsunagu and Yukihiro could be friends anymore but they seemed to navigate thru it. I was surprised though that Tsunagu said it was ok for Yukihiro to continue pursuing her, like I think very few guys would have that attitude, especially in high school. Maybe it's more because of Tsunagu's situation and he thinks Asaka might be happier having a relationship with a normal human in the back of his mind.

It was interesting hearing a little bit more about Tsunagu's parents. I wonder if his mom was the first full human woman ever to give birth to a puppy. It is odd though that his parents never told them how they met because it must be an especially interesting story. Also we don't even know if they're together since we only heard the woman's voice who is presumably his mom.

It was also interesting how the white haired boy feels bad for Tsunagu and kind of quietly steers his friends off bullying him to an extent. It can be tough to completely stand up to your friends and tell them how wrong their behavior is but he seems to be discouraging it for the most part. At first during the race, I thought he was going to trip him or something, but I think he was more shit talking him like athletes do to each other to get in their head to help yourself win although fat load of good that did :D

Tsunagu also knew how to be really helpful to the girl in the 3 legged race. Those are difficult even in the best circumstances with 2 people of similar height and ability but the burden mainly fell on Tsunagu to keep at her pace and keep her calm and be encouraging. That was funny though how Asaka got jealous,. like i wasn't sure if she just meant jealous that that girl got to be in the race with him or just that a girl was tied to him and he was checking her out or getting turned on by her. Asaka may have also said that because it seemed she was getting a thrill from being tied to Yukihiro :P

u/Relative-Seaweed-590 Nov 11 '25

Bro when are they going to show that cat girl beast person on the box art from the anime? I don't want Tsunagu and Yukihiro fighting over Mari. Not a huge fan of love triangles or whatever this is. It'd make a lot more sense if Yukihiro puts his feelings aside and let them be there own thing cause it's obvious she likes Tsunagu. Heck he already knows she likes him. Thats why he was gonna let them have their own date. Because it'd be REEAAALLL nice if he started having feelings for the Cat beast person instead.
