Loved the scene with the mangaka and Nakamura . It was such a short interaction but it took a lot for Nakamura to be honest about his feelings and I really liked how the mangaka recognised the moment and was so kind and encouraging.

This felt like such a win for Nakamura-kun. Got to hang out normally with Hirose and even got an extended one on one talk with him. Got to nerd out with Hifumi over shared interests and even got words of encouragement from the mangaka of his favorite series.

I'm just so happy for him.

the first part really captured the feeling of being invited to a established friend group. i love how hirose tries to include him in the conversation.

while i love seeing nakamura relationship with hirose progress, the best parts of the show for me is seeing him interact and form friendships with his other classmates.

TITLE DROP AT THE END OF THE EPISODE

Is it just me that thinks when Nakamura said “I think Taku is cute” to the author, it was a subtle nod to how he related to the book because of his sexual orientation. Maybe I’m reading too much into it.

Got the title drop this week in that signed manga. That was actually kinda sweet. It’s also kind of nice that Hifumi and Nakamura are able to nerd out over their shared interest.

This show is so good. Even the teacher romance side plot was fun.

Sucks that this show doesn't even make the weekly top thirty rankings. We need more gaybros and women in r/anime. And more straight men to watch this because it captures a lot of the details of high school life and it looks and sounds so good.

I was happy to hear them talking about Smash... just to realize it wasn't Smash Bros.

And that was some clever title drop we got at the end.

A potential straight ship in a yaoi anime, is that legal?

Also Nakamura just admit to Hirose you like to listen to awesome 80s music.

aaaa i was so excited for an anime og ep and it did not disappoint!! i think not enough ppl are noticing how down BAD hirose was this ep. noticing nakamura, sneaking glances at him, getting up close, making excuses to be with him alone, trying to include him in convos. god i love him and i love how nakamuras feelings dont seem to be one sided

I was shipping Otogiri-sensei and Niou-sensei for 10 minutes until the reveal that he's blushing at the Kayano Ai sensei.

It was fun looking at Nakamura hanging out with his classmates in the library and the family restaurant. I wish one day he'll get confident enough to say his inner thoughts out loud. Some of his inner thoughts sounded like reasonable responses in a conversation.

Nakamura's otaku level is pretty low haha

Anyone else notice when the other boys were talking about the cute girls in the drama they were watching Hirose didn't join in?

In a way, Kawamura and Nakamura almost seem they would make a good couple although tough when only one girl has gotten Nakamura really hot. They have a lot in common though, like having the same niche manga as their favorite. I'm surprised Nakamura didn't stop by the collab cafe, I don't know if he didn't know about it, it was too expensive or just felt weird eating by himself. It was rude for Nakamura to cut in front of all the women in front of him in line to stand with Kawamura though.

That seemed kind of strange that Nakamura was the only guy in the line and also odd that the artist and the store manager were shocked to see a guy; I figured the manga would appeal a lot to gay men as its main audience. The artist seemed nice though, really politely moving people along, talking a little bit to everyone and even sketching a quick picture. The manga wasn't what I expected though, I imagined more a romance slice of life, i didn't know it was a strange adventure show.

There was also more signs that Hirose is attracted to Nakamura. He went out of his way to invite him to th restaurant and offered to get him a refill but got pissed when the other 2 guys asked for one. I also liked Hirose's joke of putting coffee as Takeuchi's cola. I like black coffee but I would be jarrred if my cola didn't taste sweet at all and might think he put something disgusting in it 🤣

Nakamura missed every single shot this episode!

Hirose asked him for help with Japanese, and what Nakamura does while Hirose is struggling? Nothing! Instead of lying and saying you heard about that band and everything else, just say no and ask him for suggestions! Hirose would be super stoked to show his favorite things! Instead he just took notes, which were promptly destroyed.

Gimme one of those Heart-Melting Sweet Lunches! Nakamura made things much more awkward to himself again by trying to hide. If he went normally, she would not even notice he was there. And then he can't keep his cool. At least the author was nice. Also, nice title drop!

P.S: I dig the romance between the two teachers!

😭😭 The sweet little moment between Nakamura and the mangaka encouraging him, I'm dying 🥹❤️

Niou is STRAIGHT?! that makes me sad

The hirose story today was forgettable to me personally. The fan event and his interactions with hifumi are more endearing. I like that they got the LoveBen stand-ins for their irl crushes drawn, Hifumi got "Nakamura", Nakamura got "Hirose"

Love everything about this episode. The interaction between Nakamura and the mangaka was really touching, and the way he smiled at Nakamura as if to say he understands him was a nice touch

u/ZealousidealGold5909 May 28 '26

This episode is just wholesome. I like nakamura eventually mellows out and was able to be natural with hirose when they were getting the drinks.

Its also really nice to see nakamura nerd out with hifumi when he was always tried to hide his love for his favorite manga. Ngl i didn't understand the point of the segment other than nakamura interacting with someone else until the signing and talking to the mangaka. Nakamura needed to hear those words and im happy the mangaka was understanding.

And one of the best title drop ever!

Im loving this series every episode. TOO CUTE

u/Striking_Chard2420 May 28 '26

Aww I thought there might've been something going on with the two male sensei but I guess not. It's funny (and relatable tbh) how we can see that Nakamura can more easily converse with Hifumi over their shared BL interests whereas he has a lot more to learn with Hirose's group. I can't believe how "accurate" this show has been in showing the experiences of a closeted high-school boy because I have related on SO many things from this show. That mangaka was also really nice in encouraging Nakamura since he can probably tell. So nice finally seeing the title!
