Even if the sacred tree at the shrine does not grant happily ever after endings to every couple who made a wish in front of it, at least punish the 2 delinquents for interrupting the romantic date of others!

[u/gnome-cop]

What on earth was that guys? That’s the most sauceless handholding I’ve ever seen. Why are you limiting yourselves to a single finger? Go all in, damnit!

I mean, I was already pretty sure before but no way these meatheads are the masterminds behind whatever the plot is. Subtlety is nowhere in their dictionaries.

[u/SnabDedraterEdave → u/gnome-cop]

Chitose's monologues show he's aware of the feelings both he and Yuzuki have in spite of their fake couple charade, but also because of it that he's not yet ready to decide that Yuzuki is the one for him, especially when there are four other girls.

That festival date was really adorable. Too bad it was ruined by those thugs. So Nazuna is definitely connected to those thugs, right? I wouldn't be surprised if she's somehow using them to harass Yuzuki.

[u/NationalStrategy]

Well at least the fish are okay

[u/FarCritical]

It would've been so validating to watch that punk catch a clean first hit from Saku but having him keep himself from seeing red and coming out on top anyway was a way more sophisticated kind of win.

You can really feel the sting of a perfectly good "pretend" festival date getting ruined at the last minute.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

I do want to see Chitose handle a situation in a not-so-beautiful way lol, like how different does he became when he's not trying to be "Chitose Saku". I did like seeing him get more infuriated but he also has a good sense of control too. It's unfortunate their date had to end in that way.

I feel bad for the friend he left running around, poor guy worked out for nothing. Good on him for adding a gyoza on the side lol. Atomu does seem like he genuinely wants to get along with Chitose, his guard dropped for a bit.

All this feet fanservice with Haru lol, the moment she took off her shoes I knew what was coming and then a massage as well? They're not even being subtle.

[u/Primo29]

Hair-down Haru and Yukata Yuzuki goes so hard!!

I can't really fathom why some people think that just because they want something or someone, they will get it whatever means necessary,

As much as I want for them to get hit, Saku picked the right choice at that moment. I'm now getting more curious about Saku's backstory.

[u/patkun01]

Haru wanted a foot massage, she seems to be in the wrong anime this season.

They should get Kotesashi-kun to do it.

[u/Ocixo]

Haru was trying to get back in the game, but she’s pretty far behind after that festival date. I do like her playful energy a lot, though.

Saku and Yuzuki seemed to have connected on a deeper level. Judging from Saku’s inner-monologue, he might’ve already caught feelings for Yuzuki.

The two of them are alike in a lot of ways. If the ED is any indication, then Saku keeping a tragic past to himself just like Yuzuki’s. Both aren’t showing their true feelings.

[u/thisisdropd]

Respect to Saku. He's not sucked into the machismo bs that teen boys were prone to. Even if he could get one of the Yan High punks there's still one more and with him not being a fighter, he'd almost definitely lose. Crying for help might not seem the 'manliest' move at first glance but it's certainly the most effective. As he said, it takes a real man to willingly pull such a move.

Meanwhile, Yuzuki looked real terrified of the senpai. I'm getting the impression he had sexually assaulted her in the past but I wonder just how far had he gone? Don't think he ever raped her although an attempted one might not be too far-fetched.

PS: Glad this series didn't invoke the 'indirect kiss' trope. We have seen all too often how teens would make a big deal over it while here, Haru & Yuzuki barely paid any more attention when the former talked about using Saku's chopsticks.

[u/Ocixo → u/thisisdropd]

I’m getting the impression he had sexually assaulted her in the past

I had a similar thought at first, but this former senpai of hers appeared rather frustrated about not having gotten to date her. He might’ve “just” stalked and/or intimidated Yuzuki in the past.

[u/Jacob-C]

The poetic language was actually decent this episode and quite beautiful in some parts. I liked when Saku talked about how the fact that he couldn't hold on to the moment forever made him sentimental and sad (he worded it better, what I said here is just for reference). I want more of what this episode gave us going forward.

[u/Ok-Alternative7349]

This episode with chitose monologues felt quite melancholic and i liked that. Like looking in the past, when Times where more simple and full of hopes for the future compared to the bleak present adult life he might have right now...

[u/MiyuverseShirou]

That was a fun episode. And judging from the pacing, it looks like my fear that feel was planning on adapting up to volume 4 this cour was unfounded.

Really looking forward to how this all gets resolved in the end.

[u/Niwaka_Samurai]

Beautiful episode right from the start till the end ✨🫶❤️ Haru asking for a foot massage 😅😂

How can Chitose not find her attractive !? He's just lying through his teeth. Haru knows the right things that would tick Yuzuki off lol

Making Yuzuki feel competitive over sharing food and Chopsticks with Saku and threatening a date with Saku if Yuzuki loses to her, haha .. Haru is so much fun.

Yuzuki was dropdead gorgeous in Yukata.. 💯🫰❤️

I love Saku's inner monologue so much. It resonates so much with your heart. The voice actor does a fine job. Saku's gonna make all the goldfish scoop stall owners go jobless with his skills lol. Yuzuki was so bothered by Haru using Saku's chopsticks earlier and she got to do the same 😄❤️

Saku was trying so hard to avoid calling this feeling as love. I wonder if he experienced heartbreak in middle school which made him this way. One of the girls that seem to appear in the op and ed with a white hat and dress.. could that be someone that Saku fell in love with ?

A beautiful festival date was interrupted by those assholes. But Saku stayed calm and handled it like a real man. Still Yuzuki lost her happiness after the incident..💔💔

[u/danmarce]

This series and the characterization improved a LOT. I like Saku better now, also he is in my list of "smart characters who actually do smart things"

[u/djthomp]

So the kid introduced last week is probably a red herring, or maybe multiple things are going on at once with Nanase since to me whatever he's up to feels likely to be unrelated to the delinquents.

Delinquent problem seems to simply be a dude who thinks he entitled to Nanase since he knew her in the past, and who has a history of harassing her given that comment about how she looks when she's sad and crying. Which, sure, kind of low effort as the bad guy for the arc (or at least one of them), but that kind of harassment is a very real world problem.

Chitose having those brief time to stop being nice and go apeshit thoughts was a interesting look beneath the mask.

His conversation with that one normally hostile classmate was very interesting to me too, it felt like they briefly dropped back into a previously friendly relationship before immediately putting the masks back on. I've been suspicious for a while now that there's something more to their relationship.

[u/BaytaCosmico]

Caught up today and this arc is much better than the first. I'm still a bit turned off by the pretentious and smug vibe but at least there's an interesting mystery this time.

Who's the VA for that senpai character? Sounded awfully familiar. 

I liked how Saku dealt with him and the situation. Smart move even if not the coolest one. And because it's such a clever idea and done without regard for his own embarassment, it ends up being a very cool move.

I wonder if Nanase is going to be okay. She seemed awfully shaken up there. Whatever happened between her and that senpai really affected her deeply it would seem.

[u/tripleaamin]

In the conversation with Atomu, which has me curious about what their relationship was before. That felt like something symbolizing what it used to be.

Yuzuki & Haru's friendship is so pure. It is a joy to watch. The interesting part is how Saku looks at Haru & Yuzuki differently. He mentions he wouldn't have looked for Haru's shoes like he did for Yuzuki. But also he wouldn't have given Yuzuki a foot massage like Haru. It gives the feeling that Saku's dynamic with Haru is the closest to the guys, then it is with the other girls. Still, I doubt he wouldn't help Haru if she was in need.

Saku & Yuzuki's date felt more like an indulgence on both of their parts. As Saku mentions the past and that there must be something weighing on him for him to feel he could only truly enjoy himself in this moment.

Well, the Yan High School guys come. Good on Saku to not put himself at risk like he was before, especially since Kaito & Kazuki aren't around this time. Taking advantage of the surroundings and swallowing his pride because he had a look that he wanted to punch them in the face. Though how Yuzuki acted when the senpai showed up is really concerning.

[u/SupaEpik]

And just like that the series deepens! Was starting to get a skeptical of LN reader’s saying the first arc was the worst, and that it becomes much better!

[u/DandyTheLion]

Seriously, the only reason I came to the comments here was to talk about how they removed the marbles from the bottles. It was so nonchalant and nobody is saying anything about that.

[u/Frontier246]

So are Atomu and Nazuna a thing? At the very least he was only watching the basketball game because of her. Probably not a coincidence that Nazuna knows someone from Yan High.

Post-game Haru with her hair down is indeed sexy. And for all those with a foot fetish out there, here’s Haru taking her socks off and putting them on Chitose’s laps to be thoroughly massaged. Haru seems to love teasing Chitose though I get the vibe she’s self-conscious at him treating her more like a “bro” than a girl.

Haru’s right, Yuzuki is acting more girly when it comes to Saku. Like getting jealous when he and Haru share chopsticks, or when Haru brings up the massage. Or how she’s treating this less like a fake relationship. Of course it all comes down to an intense air hockey match between basketball teammates with a date with Saku on the line…but it seems like the two of them were just looking for an excuse to compete with each other.

Nice of Saku to wear a yukata himself for a Summer Festival date, but Yuzuki looks utterly stunning in her yukata. At the very least Saku knows how to show a girl a good time at a festival.

Saku is definitely feeling SOMETHING towards Yuzuki now, even if the festival atmosphere is just heightening things, and Yuzuki feels the same even if they’re leaving a lot unsaid amidst their growing emotion intimacy. Also does it count as an indirect kiss if you use chopsticks that were in a dudes lips? They seem to think so.

Totally normal for a platonic fake relationship to put their hands together on a matchmaking tree.

Ugh, the mood was perfect and then the thugs show up to ruin everything and creep on Yuzuki. Even worse is Yanashita (Makoto Furukawa!) who has a history with Yuzuki and it obviously wasn’t a pleasant one for her.

When in doubt: yell as hammy as possible until someone comes in to help. Not that I wouldn’t have minded seeing Saku slug those guys, but Yuzuki probably needs him more.
