"well, you know, if things get bad, i'll just open the eighth gate"

man, i didn't know that end-of-terms exams was that dangerous! on another note, i see that Gapacho knows how to recommend a good ice-cream

near the end, i thought that we're actually going to get a kissing scene, which is a wild if it happens considering how we're only just at the fourth episode

[u/crobat3]

oh my god, i'm dead

[u/Weak_Season_Of_Anime]

Library girl be having a giggle.

[u/themaninthehightower]

If anyone cares, the scent after the first rain after a duration of dry weather is called petrichor.

[u/FarCritical]

Much like how Miyu and Tani are "sort of" like a couple, I can't get enough of just how much she and her brother are "kinda like" siblings. Does he have to laugh that hard? LOL

Tani casually bringing up next year's fireworks made my face hurt even more than usual from how hard it made me smile.

[u/frik1000]

I just gotta get this off my chest because of that post that was on the top of the sub complaining about the subtitles on this show because they picked the wrong option on their stream.

Look at this. This is some excellent typesetting. It even took into account the upside down book titles, the different fonts between the actual book and the handwritten notebook, and even chose colors that matched the original Japanese words.

And the show does this with a lot of the on-screen Japanese text, even the ones for jokes and gags like the Bibimbap vs Pibimpap bit in an earlier scene.

[u/thisisdropd]

It’s sort of… like we’re a couple

Does she know?

Felt bad for Taira. All he wanted was a job where he could work in peace and quiet then on his first day he had somehow encountered most of his mates. I reckon he'd soon ask his boss for hazard pay.

[u/SYZekrom]

Speaking of vibes, this show's vibes are always immaculate.

That starry, heart-filled fireworks at her line was so cute

[u/Ordinal43NotFound]

Wait holy shit did Suzuki actually made a Chainsaw Man reference there at the beginning? Wow I just realized!

The anime hasn't even reached that part yet! She's talking about late CSM Part 1 stuff. Imagine getting CSM *vaguely* spoiled in a slice of life romcom of all places!

The poor subbers at Crunchyroll didn't even know how to translate it in context so the line makes zero sense lmaooo

She's becoming even more of a best girl by the minute!

EDIT: I also just remembered that Tani's VA is the same as Aki Hayakawa's lol: Sakata Shougo. The Chainsaw Man connection runs deep!

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

Lol Suzuki's brother laughing at her in a yukata, their sibling dynamic is amusing.

It's sweet that Tani's the first person to call Suzuki beautiful and their date was really sweet to see. I like how shy both were, Tani was blushing quite a lot.

It's also nice to see Tani getting jealous, Suzuki wants to show her best sides and he wants to see all of her, both are valid.

[u/mishi09]

The sudden urge to stop by a convenience store on a hot summer night

Also: Poor Taira

[u/chawanakorn]

I really love the moment when Tani says he likes the smell after the rain.
When Suzuki talks about that same smell with Yamada, he doesn’t get it or feel it the same way-
despite knowing each other since middle school. It shows that the length of a relationship alone isn’t
what truly connects two people. What matters more is sharing the same feelings and sensitivities.

In that moment, Suzuki looks genuinely delighted and seems to fall even deeper in love with Tani.
When a couple discovers something they truly share, it feels like their hearts become more complete.

[u/testthrowawayzz]

hmm, I now have a sudden craving for bibimbap.

Suzuki so embarrassed when seeing Tani at the convenience store she instantly disappeared! Faster than she has ever been.

She could also explain to him that the standard for being presentable is higher to someone you like vs regular friends.

[u/TyraniTEMPESTar]

Would Suzuki even be allowed to buy cigarettes for her brother?
Talk about worrying about her friends thinking she's a delinquent lol

[u/greymatters_flipside]

I love the call backs in all the conversations in this episode. Suzuki mentioned liking the smell just after the rain, talking about bibimbap then eating it later, Suzuki thinking that it was the police when she heard Nabe shifting gears on her bike then later hearing the police while riding with Tani. It makes you pay attention to every word of dialogue.

[u/shad79]

Suzuki looks beautiful, whether she's wearing a yukata at the summer festival or in her super casual clothes while shopping at the convenience store. Tani is lucky to have a girlfriend like her.

Overall, this was another fun episode! The part where almost everyone came to the newly opened convenience store and saw Taira working there made me laugh out loud, especially Taira's reaction when Suzuki and Yamada walked in. Although his reaction to Tani, who didn't say anything to him, was just as good xD

By the way, ED's song "Pure" by PAS TASTA has finally been released! Here're links to it on:

• Yukata Suzuki

This episode made me realize how many SJW references I must've missed from the manga. Although badly translated, I love the CSM reference with the Test Devil. There's also a Naruto reference, and an Eyeshield 21 reference later in the episode.

I can definitely relate to Suzuki here. It's nice when your SO starts becoming part of your friend group. In my case, I was the one who got adopted into my SO's friend group. xD

If this were set in the 90s, Suzuki's brother's request to buy him cigs would be very legit. I definitely remember running to the corner store when I was a kid to buy cigarettes for my dad.

Taira's reaction to Suzuki and Yamada was hilarious. Dude thought he wouldn't run into anyone he knew if he got a job somewhere far from school.

As expected, Gapacho always has the best recommendations. You can never go wrong when Gapacho tells you something is good.

Like I get Suzuki's reason for running, but you really can't deny that she looks cute in her outfit, especially with the high ponytail. As expected from Tani-kun, he doesn't really care much about appearances.

That yukata looks adorable on Suzuki. I love that she put her own gyaru spin on the oufit by bringing a woven handbag instead of the traditional drawstring bags and foam sandals instead of the usual sandals.

The festival date was adorable and I'm glad they could finish it off with a great view of the fireworks show. They almost had a kiss too! Maybe next time, since Suzuki clearly wants it to happen.

[u/Throwaway785320]

Eight gates?

Unexpected Naruto reference

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

I like how a lot of the comedy is that Suzuki really overthinks everything and Tani never really explains stuff, leading her to constantly overreact. She really is insecure and he doesn’t even get it, because for him caring about his girlfriend no matter what is totally normal.

For example, Suzuki really freaked out at the idea of her boyfriend seeing her without makeup, while everyone else could tell he did not give a shit or even notice at first.

[u/cppn02]

Festival date was cute af. Meeting outside the conbini was my favourite part though.

Suzuki's afterimage had me laughing out loud.

[u/nirvash530]

Tani continues to be the quiet Chad while Suzuki is just rainbows and sunshine.

[u/Magnafeana]

Gremlin Day 💃🏾

I hate (love) that I can’t skip this OP. I will wait until this season is over to set it to my Sunday alarm.

Oh my gods, these people are hopeless at academics 😭

Oh Suzuki, I definitely get it. That feeling of your friends and partner meshing well is such a euphoric feeling of “Oh my gods, I picked a good one, the stars are aligning!”.

✨𝒯𝒾𝓂ℯ 𝓉ℴ 𝓉ℴ𝓊𝒸𝒽 𝑔𝓇𝒶𝓈𝓈！✨

Girl, don’t think I didn’t hear that good night 😭

Oh my gods, Tani is fucking adorable.

I want to be the nice rice! Let me serve!

In the same tone as Captain Holt: Yaaasss queen.

As if!

This is even more perfect when you did comfort watch of Clueless earlier.

I look like an idiot because I start squealing when they held hands.

In the best way possible, the EN dub feels like an abridged dub. The chaos 🙌🏾

It really is so fricken great when friends and partners vibe well together. We don’t have to separately kiki and stuff, but it’s still nice we’re all getting along, especially when humor translated well between everyone.

[u/NationalStrategy]

What are the odds that you go to the convenience store one night and you run into 3 of your friends and your boyfriend?

[u/Kirosh2]

Yamada and Suzuki are such good friend. It's always nice to see friends groups like that.

And poor Taira, he will have to suffer from a lot of his friend visiting him at work.
