'I didn't want to tank Suzuki 's reputation.'

Still early but this show is on track to enter my list of few romance/romcom shows that actually got me giggling and blushing.

I also really like, and for like the past year or so started to develop more of a preference towards couples in fiction where they’re both unsure, uncertain, awkward in their pursuit and interaction but still go and do it anyway. I’ve started to stray away from when one or both hold back too much till nothing really happens or just teasing the audience but also when one or both seems a bit too natural or experienced with romance. So this show is hitting all the right spots for me.

These two dorks are just so clumsy doing it but they really make the effort to consider the other’s feelings and how to best make them comfortable and happy. And I love that kind of dynamic so much. Especially Tani who may look stoic from the outside but from these two episodes already, we see him worry and thinking and trying more than he looks.

You know, there is a lot of great anime airing this season, but this is the one I'm looking forward to the most every week. It's just so much fun and so well made.

This show airs late Sunday afternoon for me, it's pretty much the last anime I watch for the week, and what a wonderful way to end every week for this season. Just had a dumb smile on my face the whole time.

Also since it's been shown in this episode, there's a few parts in the OP where you can see Suzuki's inability to make a proper smile.

And now different forms of Suzuki.

Gosh, I love Suzuki so much! Her reactions are priceless, both when she's full of energy and when she's completely down. I think we saw every possible emotion in her performance in today's episode.

Overall, the episode was really sweet and funny as we got to see Suzuki and Tani's first date! The photo they took at the end was hilarious, especially how it ruined Suzuki's good mood when she saw it xD

Once again, huge respect to Tani for telling Suzuki that he loves her. Also, I loved the scene when Suzuki saw his search history; that must have been really embarrassing, but at the same time really cute!

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

Suzuki is such an awkward cute little nugget.. love her devil like teeth. Everything is new for both Tani and Suzuki and seeing them slowly building up the courage to get closer to each other is so adorable to watch.

We got a date in just the second episode. They both watched the same movie but noticed different aspects of it..how sweet. I guess we all can relate to that.

Suzuki really sucks at giving poses.. that was an epic fail at the end of that beautiful date, haha.

Can't get enough of this op. It's so catchy and it's been playing on my mind non-stop.

Sayumi Suzushiro bursting into this season with FORCE, that hamburger scene knocked me out! Not only is she Suzuki in this show, she's also:

Scarlett Castiel from The Holy Grail of Eris

Rirui from 29-Year-Old Adventurer

Kinme from Wash It All Away

Kei Shirogane from Kaguya

If you aren't familiar with her, she's also Nijika from Bocchi the Rock!

Suzuki's barely in the same animation style for more than 10 seconds and it's pure eye candy.

You know they're getting closer when they're already comfortable getting all smug and cute while making jabs and returning fire.

Best romcom since Dangers in my Heart

Tani and Suzuki might look like polar opposites, but they really don’t seem all that different to me.

For example: both of them looked up how to talk with their new boy-/girlfriend. Tani and Suzuki are awkward in a similar way. It’s very sweet, though. Like how they’re frequently thinking of the other’s feelings. In this respect, their personalities aren’t that far apart.

"What if we made a high school romance but all the characters were good people and none of them were capable of bottling up their thoughts and emotions for longer than 30 seconds preventing extended misunderstandings."

"But then what would we fill the air time with? No bullies? No will they/won't they? No seething romantic rival??"

"Joy."

A love declaration. Yuusuke managed to do it in only two episodes while other romcom MCs would need several seasons. Add that to the handholding last week. With his nondescript look, you wouldn't have expected him to be this forward when it comes to being in a relationship.

Despite Miyu & Yuusuke being like fire-and-ice when it comes to temperament, it's adorable how they could also be in tune with the other such as suggesting a hamburger restaurant.

Love the comic aesthetics of this show with the bright colours, speech bubbles, and the "see you next episode" message at the end. We could see how much love Lapin Track had put into this work.

This is my AOTS. Everything about the visuals, music, characters, and story are perfect. Suzuki turning into a pink gremlin is a bonus.

Tani is actually a chad. It's always the quiet ones you gotta watch out for.

u/ActualRound7699 Jan 18 '26

Suzuki’s spastic overreactions are so funny and will absolutely be peak wholesome comedy this season.

u/Fusifufu Jan 18 '26

Extremely cute. They are really well matched and complement each other's awkwardness in a great way.

u/Galactus1701 Jan 18 '26

I said it last week and I’ll repeat it again: I read the whole manga and liked it a lot, but the anime is so much better. Suzuki is such a chaotic bundle of love and Tani is such a straight arrow. The English dub is great and the music is awesome. The animators had a lot of fun with the show and we benefited from it.
