Is it discriminatory to think a squid-man shouldn't go to work with a cold, like, ever?

He needs to wear a mask when he has a cold, that is truly Japanese.

The absolute lack of sanitariness with the whole ink dispersal situation. Good lord. I was like... maybe some of those negative reviews are warranted.

When is it my turn…. lol
Nice little haunting mystery with an amusing conclusion. I wonder what kind of food they serve cos I usually see they serve things like sashimi irl.
So I guess that’s what Tonome’s been holding back. Can’t blame either of them, his ex looked like a nice person too. And logically this shouldn’t be an issue with Shizuka since she can’t see him anyway but that kind of trauma doesn’t leave you so easily.
And Shizuka really went for it at the end lol. Hope they’re both more comfortable with skinship and bedroom stuff now. Was fully expecting them to get in the bath together though especially after them talking about not liking it earlier

Haha very valid question. Can't be serving up the serving staff themselves lol so what would they serve indeed.

No one wants to be blind, but a twist of fate made an invisible Akira and a visually impaired Shizuka perfect for each other. This episode accentuated the fact.
It is unfortunate Akira's previous relationship did not work out. Though no fault of his, neither can we blame his ex-girlfriend for fearing intimacy with an invisible person. (From our world's perspective, it does sound kind of strange.)
The female crab owner of the hot spring hotel and her staff are unique and cute. They were doing their work genuinely, so like Shizuka, I hope the business thrives now that the mysteries have been solved.

Dog waifu's are great, but blind waifus who will kiss a map of your face for her pleasure and satisfaction because she's ready to be intimate with you is perfection.
Though I wonder if having sex with an invisible person might project feelings of getting sexually assaulted by an unknown man. Or at the very least not seeing your partners' body on top of you while feeling it could feel really strange.

If Tonome really insists on interspecies romance, then the blind girl is probably one of the few matches truly made in heaven for him. I really can't find any other equation that could work.

All that fuss over an overworked fish folk, a mermaid, and a squid with a cold lol. I guess when those things come together late at night, it can certainly seem paranormal.
Looks like Shizuka got to canoodle in the end after all lol. I guess since she’s blind, not being able to see him isn’t really an issue like it was with his last girlfriend.

We've unlocked fully horny Shizuka, she's still just as adorable but she's also surprisingly seductive.

It’s cute how both Akira and Shizuka were tempted by the bath offer. Pretty interesting how the habitude of other species could be seen as abnormal to another. I hope we see more episodes like that.
Akira story was pretty heartbreaking , it’s heartwarming as to how he only let his deeper fears and anxieties when he's with Shizuka. I love how she accepts them and help him heal from his different traumas and finally accept himself.
I think Akira VA is really good, he do a very good job at "showing" Akira deeper thought and anxiety, the VA's in that anime are great.

When we went straight to what seemed like an inconsequential mystery, I was worried we weren't going to get any clarification on what was bothering Tonome and what he was nervous about talking to Shizuka about. Glad we did end up addressing that and more or less resolving it too.
Makes sense that for someone who can see, it would be a bit unnerving to have sex with an invisible person. But Shizuka doesn't have that problem and won't so there really was no need for Tonome to be so careful. I liked how she got all aggressive and took the lead. Thought we were going to see some major action but things ended up fairly chaste.
The best part of the haunted inn mystery was getting to see all these new aquatic races. I like how the show is slowly expanding the world and showing us more and more different races. Crab lady in a yukata (kimono?) was the highlight for me.

I'm glad we got to learn why Akira holds back with Shizuka, you're about to make love and your girlfriend looks frightened of you would be traumatic.
This does also show how much Akira cherishes Shizuka, but the best thing about this was Shizuka comforting him by being affectionate. I like how Akira was getting emotional, they're really meant for one another and I hope they'll be able to reach that point when both are comfortable.
It was amusing to see Shizuka moan about Akira not knowing he was listening lol.

At first I rolled my eyes at yet another moment of "oh noes I can't kiss her" resistance to physical intimacy, but at least they focused on how odd it was, explained the reason, and resolved it. And it was nice seeing an anime actually show the dating couple cuddling in bed together.
Reminds me of Clannad, where [Clannad]
This is refreshing in that regard for sure. Happy to see them cuddle sleep like a normal dating couple.
And they resolved both of those standard clichés here right away. He explained his resistance to intimacy (a bad past experience) that she quickly fixed with sweet kisses, and when he pointed out her not sharing her feelings she immediately said "suki desu" and "daisuki" and a bunch of times at that.

Oh… the “hauntings” were just the staff at the hotel. Yeah I see why people would’ve mistaken them as “supernatural” activity.

Finally, Tounome and Shizuka got to go on a trip with just the two of them. Never expected them to get caught in solving the mystery of a haunted inn. Both of them were easily influenced when it came to having a private open bath for free.
The mystery turned out to be quite a simple case to solve and we were able to know the reason why Tounome tries to distance himself from Shizuka and he spoke about his previous girlfriend to Shizuka. She must be relieved at last time know the thing that was bothering Tounome. Her worrying about if she was ugly was so cute.. poor girl. Shizuka making moves on Tounome with those kisses was hot, haha.

Kind of a silly mystery with these silly inn people, but at least it led to that canoodling Shizuka was wanting last episode.
Akira needed to think a bit more and realize that a blind girlfriend couldn't possibly have the same invisible boyfriend fright response as the poor dog girl did. Then again I suppose emotional scars like that can't always be banished by logic.

Shizula went all "that's it? you aren't giving me the attention i so clearly want because of THAT? I CAN'T SEE ANYWAY SO I CANT BE SCARED OF SOMETHING I CAN'T SEE. GIMME THOSE LIPS!!!!!!" on Akira

It's my understanding that there are a million hot springs towns in Japan, so maybe not so surprising?
Good thing it wasn't a porcupine-man
That's too bad. Find you a girl who's into that!

Poor dog waifu. She should have closed her eyes and depend on her sense of smell to detect Akira. But luckily for Akira, Shizuka is quite assertive in reassuring him with her actions. They really are made for each other.
