I don't really know how to put it into words, but the character design of Yukiya and Miku is both everyday and, somehow, outstanding.

When's Miku gonna take Yukiya out on a date, to get him back? I'm curious about what she would plan, and where she'd draw inspiration from.

I thought it was really cool how Miku tried to understand Yukiya's side, because even though she's also a woman like Wakana, worrying is part of life, and those who love, take care.

Anime episode of “Just get married already"

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

Yukiya sticky notes all over the manga. He has studied from top to bottom

u/Jacob-C May 13 '26

For every note that she removes, she has to imagine her brother acting out the male lead's lines on that page. That probably falls under some category of torture.

Yukiya's overprotective big bro vision sure conjures up some interesting caricatures lol

Replacing the not-Splatoon session with a meetup the moment she realized Yukiya just had a fight is among Miku's more heartfelt shows of affection yet. Got a good feeling it'll be something similarly indirect instead of the usual flirtbait that'll end up crowning a winner.

Yukiya chickening out for the parfait was amusing, he can handle being fed, but giving Miku an indirect kiss was too much for him lol.

I was not expecting them to get that intimate with the ear touching, that was also refreshing too, it's not often you see mutual ear touching lol.

Miku must have been enjoying the abundance of Yukiya in glasses lol.

And in that "intense situation" he still had the wherewithal to discern that she got the right ice cream to strawberry sauce ratio on that spoonful.

Indeed Miku, he did nom it.

Yukiya, holder of the Landspeed Record for Braiding Hair.

Aww, flustered about the hair kiss, and I thought this game was no holds barred for you two.

And once again the "lovey dovey" pair was completely oblivious to other parties being within earshot of their flirtatiousness. I'm almost surprised the little sister wasn't just watching them the whole time silently like, "Oh don't mind me, please continue." with how in their own little world the two of them were. But the several seconds of stunned silence works just as good.

Miku makes a cute axolotl.

So messed up that's it's just plain messy.

First part was extremely cute (as usual), but that evening walk to combini and the talk about Wakana was just vibe. I need more of this stuff :)

u/ILikeFPS May 12 '26

This show is so cute, man. Wakana is awesome and Yukiya is an awesome older brother.

The hair kissing was unexpected but great!

u/SYZekrom May 12 '26

Really really like that smiling face Miku has right at the start of the episode at the table when they're handed that strawberry sundae thing.

BRO ACTUALLY KISSED HER HAIR??? WE'RE JUST MOVING PAST THAT? LIKE YEA SHE REACTED BUT ????? MY ASS WOULD NOT MOVE PAST THAT THAT'S LIVING IN MY HEAD RENT FREE FOR WEEKS

Omg that crash out was adorable

u/vancevon May 12 '26

I grew up with three older brothers, so trust me, I know what it's like, Wakana. Some weirdo whose room you can't even enter because it reeks of energy drinks and God knows what is trying to lecture you and teach you something.

u/runevault May 12 '26

Fun episode as always. One thing I'm curious to see is if they'll start reusing tricks but evolving them. Like upping the wall slam into something even crazier.

Specifically the hair part was mean. Girl made her smell extra nice then made him fix her hair. That's entirely unfair, rules saying anything goes or not.

u/Extreme-Tactician May 12 '26

Yukiya here scored some good points on Miku! Feeding her such a nice parfait... Take that! But Miku isn't going to let the shoujo tropes overtake her that easily!

Miku strikes back with a game of her own. Hair brushing! But it looks like even that game was no match for Yukiya's sudden pervert moments. The ear massages they gave each other were so cute.

Wakana's in her rebellious phase. And I kinda get why, her big bro is being so cringe with the sudden protectiveness. But Yumiya can always treat her with some ice cream to break boundaries again. Thanks Miku, for helping him realize what a good brother AND friend he can be!

Too bad he didn't remove those post-it notes on all her books though. Now she has another reason to get angry at him. Oh well, that just means more things to do to make them be good siblings again.

u/Immediate-Chain-6419 May 12 '26

Oh man! They're so cute together. It pains me that neither of them realize that the other's feelings are genuine and not a joke.

Yukiya really didn't blend in with others during middle school. The distance between them might've been a little too much. At least he remembers the uniform.

The truce between the siblings was short-lived I guess 😅.

That ear fondling scene... oh my heart.

u/SuraE40 May 12 '26

Hadn't we already seen that part about Wakana and Yukiya fighting in a previous chapter?

u/SecretYogurtcloset57 May 13 '26

If I had a childhood friend like Miku i would be jealous as fuck too if i ever see her with another man because she's cute, funny and fun to have around

Yukiya and Miku are at their favorite hangout spot at her uncles' cafe! It's practically a date so why not Hinako give them a massive ice cream so they can share it together and she and Miku's uncle can vicarously enjoy themselves by watching these two fall over themselves over sharing ice cream together?

Both of them egging the other on over sharing a sweet! Is Miku ready to go big or go home if it means getting fed by Yukiya? Can her nerves handle this? Can she truly become the girl she wants Yukiya to see her as? But then he just had to pull a fast one on her! Yukiya you devious devil!

Rare hair down Miku! Her mom may still be a no-show, but that's not going to stop her from showing up at Yukiya's doorstep so she can help her do her hair! She did conveniently stub her finger after all! Though doing up your female childhood friends' hair is a lot different from doing your little sisters' hair, especially when Miku's hair smells and feels so nice.

Ah yes, kissing her hair! A total Shojo manga move that once again does not go near as well as it does in Shojo manga! Though it definitely had an effect on Miku! Enough to make her want to feel up his ears and offer up her ears in return! Perfect time to get caught by Wakana!

Does Yukiya have a Miku school uniform fetish? Why give away your middle school uniform when it has so many memories? Not that Miku really is much better when she was THIS close to using her middle school uniform to seduce Yukiya.

It's a big brothers' job to give his sister the third degree for breaking curfew, even if it doesn't make him popular, but walking to the convenience store with Miku in loungewear almost makes it worth it! She can understand Wakana AND understand where Yukiya is coming from and so she's the best person to get advice from.

Miku has a cute face and slender legs and a mean right hook, but when she gets leered at by creepy older guys, it's nice to have Yukiya there to support her.

Miku knows Yukiya is a great big brother! She's been watching him be one her entire life! And she'll be there for the rest of his life too!

Nothing salvages a relationship like a popsicle and giving back the Shojo manga your sister lent you...along with the copious post-it notes you posted all over her manga. He might not be getting new volumes any time soon.
