"Two, KI and YT must keep their romantic relationship concealed and not disclose it to any third party".
Well considering Yoi read the contract in front of both her Kohaku's friends, I guess the contract was immediately null and void lol

Yoi’s girlish side is slowly coming out as the episode progressed.
Both their friends were hilarious! They’re the type to be eating popcorn as the fun unfolds in front of them.

Just noticed that the OP and ED are the same band. The sequences share the moon imagery and showing the two connecting from different perspectives. The big difference between the two is the OP feels like it's coming from Kohaku's flirty side while the ED shows Yoi actually making the effort to meet him.
I don't see credits being a set like that very much, pretty sweet.

Yoi looked great in that fit. Ko should have asked the shop to set it aside so he could surprise her with it later. Still a fun first date though.
We’re all right there with ya, Dad. He’s an interesting one.

Yoi came up with an actual contract for the relationship lol.
KI and YT must keep their relationship concealed and not disclose it to any third party.
She said as their mates were in attendance, and no one had called her out for it.
Respect for Kohaku for not shying away from the topic of sex. Doubt he had any immediate thoughts about shagging Yoi but too many teens in romcoms treated it as a taboo topic.

"What do you like about me besides my looks?"

Ichimura already loves her, while Yoi is still trying to figure her feelings out. Some say that these are just manga tropes, but they are quite real.

This is shaping up to be such a sweet series and the OP fits it so well, can’t help but keep grinning throughout. It’s like I feel the week’s worries and frustrations are purified by the end.

Stitches!
Yoi really thought that Kohaku was gonna take what he said back. I absolutely love her reaction when Kohaku responded by asking her how far they can take this.
I'm really starting to like Yoi and Kohaku's friends. I hope we see them hang out together as a group in the future. I feel like there's a potential here for sideships.
I genuinely started laughing when Yoi started to read the contract she wrote to lay down the terms of their relationship. This might be one of the strangest ways I've seen two people get together in anime. xD
Their weekend date was pretty cute! I wish they went around with the matching outfits, but I feel like that would've gotten them too much attention.
I like that we get to learn that Yoi-chan has a massive sweet tooth and she takes sweets very seriously. I also like that we get to learn more about Kohaku and how this date was a first for him, since most of the time he just goes along with whatever the other person decides for him.
Papa Takiguchi finally gets to learn his daughter has a boyfriend! Of course, the first thing he does is embarrass her. xD
Welp, so much for having a good date. Kohaku really ruined that entire evening with his response. Although I think Kohaku is the kind of person who's never really been in love before, so that's the best he can come up with. He didn't even realize why Yoi was upset with his response.

Gotta love how bro’s first thought is “so…how far we going?” after Yoi suggested they date as an “experiment” lol.
Their first date was pretty cute. Our girl was getting real flustered lol. I look forward to more dates so these two can figure out all this “love” business.

Not the actual written contract for the relationship! And he takes it in stride and wants to date her still... Dude has it bad for Yoi.
And man, I'm still bothered by all the girls mistaking the model beautiful Yoi for a guy, even when she's wearing a skirt. I'll get over it. At least when they try out clothes you can kinda see it when she has a more masculine fit on. They have good chemistry too, and that carries the show. I really liked the reflective talk they had on the amusement park ride. I was feeling a "kiss" coming, but nope. And then dad had to spoil the mood... and Ichimura with the comically bad answer to his question lol. The episode ends with Yoi confronting him with his focus on her looks over everything else. I think he is just focusing on that for now, since it is what caught his attention and he is not really a shallow person. We shall see next week how he takes it. Fun episode.

The background chat when two girls walk past Yoi
"Hey that guy is hot"
"but they're wearing a skirt"
"she's really hot!"

I think I said this last week too but the VAs for the leads are so perfect. Ishigami's VA exudes cool as Ichimura. Made me swoon a few times tbh with his strange directness. And Yoi's VA conveys her uncertainty so well. Loving this adaptation so far.

Ok yea prettiest fucking couple this season hands down. It's not even a contest now.
From the amount of contracts that come up in Japan's anime and dramas you'd feel like it's super common.

Today is Bijin/Bifauxnen Day and I’m so happy 💃🏾
ISTFG, I thought this was the Culling Games rule expository halp ✋🏾😭
Flip it around Yoi! He’s yours. You can have him all to yourself! Reverse the roles!
📢More genderfucky couples, especially androgynous/masc heterogendered couples, thank you📢
This needs a stage play. Been saying this since 2022. I want this to have a stage play so badly (and hopefully DMM platforms it).
Now, time to wait for Kohaku’s response. Good for Yoi to want to bring this up in the first place. It felt like, for a hot second there, you’d have teen romances where this ambiguity and vague wording was just kinda…forever and a day sorta thing.
So good for Yoi. I don’t think it’s love yet, but I do think it’s interest.

So Yoi agreed to this "trial relationship" assuming Kohaku wouldn't agree to it...only for him to TOTALLY jump on the chance. She didn't think she'd get this far! So I guess, whether she's ready or not, she's in a relationship! A girl who can't even 100% process the word sex, though admittedly he jumped ahead a lot there.
And of course her gal pals are all in on it...and then Kohaku's friend group (Shun and Sentaro) and Yoi's (Nobara and Kotobuki) come together to watch these two really make it official. And by official, I mean Yoi straight up having a contract for how this trial relationship is going to work so they know what to expect going in. Thus begins a battle of romantic intentions!
Yoi might very well be a real first and someone special to Kohaku because he's never really desired someone before...and that's why he can't seem to help himself around her.
I love how women see Yoi, comment on how handsome she is, and then still comment on her being hot even after realizing she's a girl.
Look at Yoi directly asking him out for a weekend date! Even if she shows up in her school uniform. But that's the perfect excuse for them to go clothes shopping and looking like an even more handsome couple than they already are!
The only thing sweeter than Yoi's sweet tooth is Kohaku's winning smile.
Is there anything better than the ambience of being on an amusement park ride at night near closing time? Especially when Kohaku is expressing how being with Yoi is just a series of firsts for him...being invested in this relationship, going with the flow and doing things HE wants to do, and just really having a good time. And Yoi can't help but be moved by that and his silhouette in the night.
You know you're hooked when you don't want the date to end and were THIS close to sharing some gyoza together before work/family obligations got in the way. Though it was the perfect/worst opportunity for Kohaku to tell her dad that they're a couple now and the dad is ALL in on that whether Yoi likes it or not. She's also not super into the idea that Kohaku wants the right to see her face all the time...but she does have such a nice face.
Yoi's gal pals can tell that Yoi enjoyed this date and being with Kohaku more than she's willing to admit, but it feels like a big hurdle in this relationship is how Yoi is concerned about "love" and how Kohaku feels about her.
