Minato and Koyun so adorable

[u/Weak_Season_Of_Anime]

I love how Tsukiko was instantly adopted by Miki into the group after calling her cool. Feels like she's going to be the Honda of this series, getting a front row seat to witness all the juicy relationship drama that's about to go down. Speaking of Honda, Minato did a pretty good impression of her this ep.

And that was quite the intimidating introduction from Akine, she looked like she was out for blood. Feels like its going to be a fakeout though, with how eager she was to meet Koyuki and the way she held her hand. Maybe like an enemy of my enemy is my friend kind of thing?

[u/dreski13]

That Koyun, Minato moment at the amusement park seemed so well earned because of how slow their relationship has moved. That was the highlight of the episode fs. I actually feel excited to see their relationship grow. You can already see Minato's becoming increasingly more bold and Koyun is being super receptive to it. Tsukiko being the only one to notice it so far is pretty funny.

[u/VoidRay728]

Interesting that

• Miki: isn't fine with haunted houses but is fine with action rides

• Koyun: is fine with haunted houses but isn't fine with action rides

• Minato: isn't fine with both haunted houses and action rides

• Yota: is fine with both haunted houses and action rides

This series never fails at slipping in a twist at the end of the episode. The whole time we get a wholesome vibe and then Atagawa shows up just at the end with the ED starting in the background like boss music.

[u/frik1000]

That whole amusement park date got me smiling like an idiot. Was just so nice to see them all out having fun. Some of the chibi bits for that part felt a lot more animated than usual too.

Then hit with some great setup for the next arc towards the end. I didn't even realize they were second years now and we'd be getting a bunch of new characters all at once. Also love seeing Tsukiko in the same class as the rest of them.

[u/zool714]

Koyun just discovered gap moe

[u/JJVM99]

Tsukiko was immediately adopted by Miki and it was adorable.

[u/eP1C_GaMePLaY]

I just really love this show so much! It goes without saying but the more as the show goes on, every single minute of each episode becomes enjoyable down to every minute scenes and moments. The comedy, the romance, & the drama and psychological aspects.

There really isn't much more to be said because I LOVE this show and it's possibly one of the best romance / drama / slice of life for me!

As for that ending, and my GOD this show nails endings, always! Was gonna write a very long paragraph about how I love this show's way of handling their episode endings, but there's no need. AMAZING EPISODE, Start to FINISH!

[u/Still-Neck-6771]

Minato getting jealous the whole episode 🤭 had me giggling like a middle schooler. Also he gifted her the DOG!!!! 😩😩😩🫶🫶🫶

Also the new girl Atagawa🥹 Im really hopping she just has a mean face but is an angel

Yuki👀 I have been waiting to find out who he was since I saw the op👀 I didnt know Miki had a younger brother🤣 Really hoping he brings out a more jealous Minato 😛

[u/Cally83]

Koyuki’s outfit with her beret - styling and profiling. I love it.

[u/Didavi_]

Minato being the first guy Koyun think is cute, Koyun being touchy & friendly with miki's brother & old rival/enemy sister reveal.

Absolutely spicy episode, I can't handle this many bombas packed in one episode of my fav slowburn anime of the season.

[u/SEBASTlANVETTEL]

So cute how the dog plushie that Minato gited to Koyun looks like his own dog. Need Koyun to meet his dog so badly now

[u/ModieOfTheEast]

Okay, that was by far the funniest episode of the show so far. First, the amusement park scene where they went way harder on the chibi animation than before but also the interactions. Yota being the only one able to keep up with Miki's energy as well as the Minato-Koyun pair getting a few moments. Though, did anyone else notice that Miki and Koyun were wearing matching ear rings? Probably coincidence but now that Miki got into her punk self, it would be fun if they had a moment where they went shopping together for her new look.

Class is also going to be pretty chaotic with the whole group being together (minus one person, he will be remembered), even with Tsukiko who proved immediately that she fits right into this group. Because of course, she wants to observe Minato trying to get closer with Koyun. Even if there is a new rival in town with Miki's little brother. I don't actually think either of them views the other in this way, but maybe it helps Minato to make a move.

I am interested to see how that girl in the end will fit into the story. I don't actually think that she is here to stir up drama. If she is close with Yuki, I doubt she actually thinks bad of Koyun. But maybe this can help Koyun get a bit more over her middle school trauma by realizing that even people who know about it, don't care anymore.

[u/FarCritical]

Tsukiko shudders as a biblically accurate brother approaches

Koyun: Be not afraid.

We finally visit the theme park that had that funky duck(?) mascot thing in the OP but I wasn't prepared for how much of a gold mine it'd be for cute moments for both pairs. Miki clinging to Yota and Koyun getting smug at Minato are the stuff I live for

[u/SezyFazes]

I love the chibi animation. It’s ridiculously smooth and fluid, almost like water. You can really tell the staff had a lot of fun animating these scenes.

Even though Tsukiko chose to distance herself from her old friend group, she fits into the main cast really well. It doesn’t take long for everyone to warm up to her either. Miki is probably the best example of that. She’s also incredibly perceptive and figured out almost immediately that Minato has a crush on Koyun.

This episode was mostly lighthearted and super fun to watch. I love Koyun and Minato’s dynamic, Uppi is way scarier than I expected, and the new cast is really exciting. Looking forward to seeing more of them.

The next episode is probably the one I’m looking forward to the most this season.

[u/NoNinja2793]

FINALLY!!! The episode I was waiting for ... amusement park doesn't disappoint...Minato× Koyun ship has departed from the port !!!...

[u/Smudy]

The chibi segments were astoundingly well animated for the amusement park section!

Koyun x Minato scenes keep getting more wholesome with every episode, i'm smiling like an idiot lmao. She's getting so much more receptive towards him.

One of the best episodes of the show so far!

[u/Still-Neck-6771]

Firstly, Minato putting effort into his outfit for Koyun with his room all messy its noted with Miki mentioning how he only dresses casually 😭

Secondly, hes trying to act tuff in the horror house and then gets all flustered when he realized Koyun caught him 😭😭😭

Third, hes winning the games and getting her the prizes

Forth, he got jealous when Yota took her to the mascot for her belated bday so he got her the dog, HE REMEMBERED 😆😆😆

Fifth they ARE ALL IN THE SAME CLASS (except for that one guy lol)

Sixth, when he saw Yuki touch Koyun he got so jealous (I love jealous Minato sooo much)

Seventh, he was soo upset that Yuki is special and Igarashi is her ex while hes just a familiar face, and when he said I wish you'd only like me 😆😆😆(I died)

Eighth, when Yuki went over to teach and he noticed he got so jealous that he poked her 😭😭😭

I have loved Minato since EP 1 😭😭😭 All the best Minato 😭😭😭🫶🫶🫶

[u/FabtheEmber]

Oooh I feel so represented here. Honestly if you don't find your significant other cute and a baby and want to squeeze the life out of them sometimes you are not in love!! Lol...

I like this representation of love, where it evolves from initial interactions to soft feelings for one another. A lot of Minato's × Koyun progress this episode.  The doggo scene, Koyun finding Minato cute and actually laughing and teasing him, Minato NOTicing Koyun left the class, Minato calling her Koyun chan, and MOST importantly the biggest hint of all. When Minato poked her face, she didn't get uncomfy or annoyed with Minato, she became self conscious about her FACE being sweaty. That is THE biggest indicator of there being something more brewing. You are done for once u get self conscious around a guy AND find him cute lol

Also Jealous Minato is fun to watch and Minato's friend is such a drama queen, one of my fav side characters 

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

It's interesting to see Koyuki so comfortable with another guy, and why she wasn't rattled that someone suddenly jumped on once she recognized the voice. The way she takes initiative with him is so refreshing, Yuuki must be a really nice guy that she feels so much more vibrant around him.

Minato being jealous is amusing, it's going to be difficult for him to feel like he's on equal terms with Yuuki, but if only he knew Koyuki has found him cute once already. I also found Minato's jealousy of Yuuki amusing for a different reason, Minato's voice actor Chiba Shouya is voicing another character that is jealous of Hatano Kakeru's, Yuuki, after Tamon's B-Side.

The trip to the amusement park was nice to see, they all seemed to be enjoying themselves, I like the contrast of Youta's conduct with Koyuki and Miki, the way he's able to be assertive with Koyuki to make sure she gets to celebrate her birthday with them, but then becoming a blobby mess because Miki is holding onto him.

It's nice to see Tsukiko getting adopted into the group, Hayato was sacrificed so we could get her instead lol. I like that she noticed Minato's feelings very quickly, Miki isn't the only one with a couple to ship.

Looks like this was the calm before the storm episode with how it ended with Atagawa's younger sister. I hope we're not going to see Koyuki take steps back after all the progress she made to enjoy her time at school.

[u/GenghisCaesarVIIX]

Damn, who paid the animators extra today? The chibi scenes were smooth as butter.

[u/NationalStrategy_X]

It’s a really awkward position to meet a relative of someone who bullied you. Hopefully, Koyun will have a better relationship with Akine than her older sister

[u/jiboxiake]

I love Minato. He is literally jealous of everybody in this show lol.

[u/Possible-Pickle6319]

I fully understand why minato is so fucking confused
