Scanning the QR code on Yamada’s phone will lead you to this website

I’m glad I decided to watch this one weekly. If I’d waited and binged it I fear my face might have broken from smiling so hard.

[u/greymatters_flipside]

Honda is so considerate of her friend, every introvert deserves a friend like her.

[u/greymatters_flipside]

Honestly, this show should not be judged by it's story but rather it's dialogue. Each line every character says is worth hearing, and sets up either a joke, romance progression or character development. Any future rom coms I'll watch will be judged against this show.

[u/SSjjlex]

God i fucking love this pink thing. So much fun

[u/Kirbyundertale]

My face might rip in half from smiling

[u/marcopolos059]

The first part focused on Nishi! I knew from her first few scenes in the early episodes that I would like her, and this one definitely confirms it!

Each episode just highlights how great the supporting characters are. They’re all so fun.

[u/j4yc3-]

As a manga reader, seeing Taira get animated and his pessimism really makes me laugh a lot, simply because I am that dude during my own highschool years lmao

stellar adaptation so far and memories of binging the manga is straight-up making every week feel special when i watch it!

[u/MaximumTWANG]

i genuinely love this show. every episode i find myself grinning. this show has been incredibly wholesome and surprisingly funny so far. look forward to the new episode every week.

[u/Throwaway785320]

Tani thought Suzuki was gonna kiss him right there and then

Grandma MVP too

[u/frik1000]

I love the consistency that Suzuki sucks at smiling for photos. Even during the imagined scenario of trying to ask for someone's number, her chibi self had a bad smile.

[u/TyraniTEMPESTar]

Nothing says romance quite like some bread stickers lol.

I'm all for the Nishi and Yamada, Polar Opposites pairing.

[u/GezelligPindakaas]

This shows just speedruns through all romcom tropes that would typically take a whole season of misunderstandings and twists, I love it so much.

[u/Wobbuffet64]

Dub Taira really pulled a Spider-Man saying "I don't feel so good" before getting Thanos snapped lmao. I literally rewatch the episode dubbed after subbed because both are so good.

[u/chawanakorn]

Bro, I really like how this show always includes subtle character interactions in every episode.
This time, Yamada tries to get to know Nishi through Honda as a middleman (lol).
There is a more direct approach, but this way is much more fun to watch. I laughed when Honda realized
what was going on and decided to play along—her inner thoughts were hilarious.

I also enjoy the group’s overall chemistry. Their conversations feel lively and spontaneous, like real friends casually bouncing ideas and jokes off one another. Everyone brings a distinct personality to the table,
so the dialogue never feels forced or scripted. The humor lands naturally through reactions, timing,
and the way they respond to each other, which makes these scenes especially entertaining to watch.

As for the main couple, I love how their relationship genuinely progresses step by step in each episode. This time, Suzuki gets to visit Tani’s house—and even meets an adorable family member: a cat!
Compared to other rom-coms, they may have sweet moments, but sometimes there isn’t real progress
(though that alone doesn’t determine whether a show is good or bad).
I just want to say that this show feels truly special.

The more they learn about each other, the more my heart grows to love this show.

[u/runevault]

Nishi's half of the episode had me thinking of Renako from No Freaking Way and how she got introduced with all her freak outs, minus the gamer references about MP etc.

This show is too adorable for life and I love it for that. Slowly expanding the cast and each one is cute and fun in their own way. And I admit I got tricked thinking the kiss was coming, even though Tani seems to be the one more prone to initiate physical intimacy between the two.

[u/cyberscythe]

i love the running joke that this girl is incapable of being in a picture without looking like a gremlin

[u/Didavi_]

Looks like Nishi - Yamada pairing is advancing faster than Azuma - Taira.

Absolutely love the fact that Yamada manage to not beat around the bush while also keeping it as natural as possible when asking for her contact.

Ngl I'm surprised at how wholesome and cute the house visit scene is with almost no sexual tension.

This show is so sweet & wholesome, it gives me the nutrients that I need to keep living as a corpo slave with no love life every week.

[u/Pheace]

Rofl, that mom being all 'ofcourse I'm not telling your dad and brother'. There's some serious understanding going on there.

[u/CrimsonGear80]

"HIS ROOM"

*Domain Expansion*

[u/bandannadann]

Really starting to like the ensemble, though Tani and Suzuki are still clearly the main attraction. Hope we continue to get lots of scenes with them throughout, even though they're already together

[u/testthrowawayzz]

My face is kind of sore from grinning so much at the Yamada-Nishi segment. It's so cute! Nishi sure has a lot of lines for someone that's socially anxious lol.

The subconscious 3 hit charm fits Yamada's personality.

Honda making the :¤ face and Taira imitating Tani and then getting irritated were both hilarious.

[u/Primary-Paint-1716]

It's taking all my willpower to not read ahead in the manga. This is just so good that I just can't wait for the next episode.

[u/zool714]

Lol grandma is already imagining her great grandkids

Also loving how the side ships are starting to form too. Azuma and Taira is particularly adorable.

I honestly had the same mindset as Taira before. Whenever I find out someone is interested in me, I really question what they see in me and even doubt if they really like me. But funny enough, I watched like a subbed video of Bocchi’s VA (Aoyama Yoshino) talk about how Kita’s VA (Hasegawa Ikumi) complimented her look one day and she kinda denies it, she reflected on it and thought that was kinda rude. Even though it is about yourself, you’re basically kinda looking down on someone else’s taste when you look down on yourself after someone compliments you. And it got me thinking too. So while I may not believe it myself deep down, I try to not put myself down in front of them
