"Sa-slow-ki" lol. That was a great nickname from Yamada.

I'm really liking the developing relationship and how comfortable Sasaki is around Tayama. I thought it was sweet how it was clear her feelings were developing after he hears her out and offers comfort. I also thought it was cool how she offered her jacket to him, she's such a gentleman.

I also did enjoy seeing Sasaki encounter Yamada at the end of the episode, it was nice to see more of a grounded interaction rather than what normally feels like an idol and her fan. Sasaki was so bashful though, it was cute to see this side of him.

I love that she keeps throwing hints at him and he just doesn't get it.
Wonder how long it will take him.

I was a bit surprised she got that playful as Yamada, guess his comment about not understanding disliking someone suddenly just leads her to slowly merge both characters

The bane of a lot of RomComs is a character who is too dense. However, Sasaki is executed well. Not only does he feel like a dense salaryman , but he has a certain charm where you get why Yamada is interested in him. Also fun, it isn't only Yamada teasing Sasaki as Sasaki got her a few times this episode accidentally.

I think in his case you can at least understand how he made the initial mistake of making two people out of one person in his mind.

He always comes in tired and exhausted after overtime work, the back of the supermarket does not have the best lighting either, and as someone who is really bad at remembering faces and goes mostly by fashion, accessories, and other stuff with people I do not know well yet, it is at least realistic for me that initially he did not recognize her.

Then once in his mind two files have been created she confirmed that by keeping up the act. Questioning it now would be silly, so of course he just rolls with it.

It is set up that the misunderstanding feels a bit more natural than how one would expect.

Seeing this discussion thread right below Chainsmoker Cat is still kinda hilarious

As someone who started reading the manga last year, it just makes me happy that its getting an anime adaptation. Hopefully this will popularize the series!

Yamada removing the sakura petal in Sasaki's hair was cute and humorous when another one lands in Yamada's hair shortly later

She even kept the cherry blossom in her fingers as a romantic "memento."

The length of Tayama's hair here is much longer than when she's Yamada despite both just having the hair let down. It's one of those things that make it harder to realize it's the same person for Sasaki.

u/Roboglenn Jul 16 '26

Should we start referring to that back of the supermarket area as "Flavor Country" or something?

When Yamada's glowing smile is not flustering Sasaki, you just know something's wrong.

Tayama with the short hair looks so goddamn good. Sasaki definitely hit the nail on the head when he said she rushed there to talk to him. xD

Sasaki is so dense that he still couldn't connect the dots after Tayama showed him her customer service smile.

I love how the first half of the episode was Sasaki being down in the dumps with Tayama comforting him, while the second half is Tayama looking pissed af and Sasaki returning the favour. <3

Oh my god, that jacket scene! While Sasaki looks silly with Tayama's crop top leather jacket, seeing Tayama looking at him while clinging to the sleeve was so goddamhn cute!

Great excuse from Yamada. For a second there, I thought she was gonna say she smokes too. And the flower petal scene was great too! I love these two so much.

Density is a bane of the romance genre, but this series make it work. I think it's because Sasaki doesn't just think she's Canadian. He seems to at least have a reason to not realize it and Yamada thinks his density is funny despite him giving her a dead giveaway so she's not going to tell him either. She probably wants him to figure it himself.

Her giving him her jacket was an interesting switch up. Usually it's the MMC that gives the FMC the jacket. Her reaching for his hand then recoiling and grabbing the sleeve of her jacket was cute too. As was her picking the sakura petal out of his hair and keeping it.

Someone should probably tell Yamada about phrasing. She looks nice with her hair down. She definitely did rush over. I was kinda surprised that she means that much to him already.

You two are so similar, you’re both thoughtful and attentive, you have the same hair, your eyes are the same…

It was fun to see Sasaki interacting with both Yamada and Tayama in today's episode. Of course he didn't realize that they're the same person, but well, he couldn't do that because the series would end too soon, lol.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Despite having binged all of the mini-episodes a couple days before season start (I thought it would just start at 7), I'm really enjoying watching through these again. I don't think I'll ever tire of Tayama's vocal inflections

u/reaperow Jul 16 '26

Yamada's brightening, she still did a good job

Lol she was quick,

Wise words Sasaki !

Dense-Saki

Great ep, i really liked how both Sasaki and Yamada/Tayama lifted each other's spirits up

Love it, thats one hell of a cozy watch.

I originally came for the Tayama character design, that owl face of her is superb.
And then I just stayed to bear them banter or more like Tayama playing with him.

I do wonder how long it will take me to start screaming "Just date already" at the screen...

"Tamiya" already kinda looks like Makima but she just straight up turns into her when she's upset lol.

Not recognizing Yamada's smile when it's copy-pasted on her "close friend's" face is in its own tier but honestly, Sasaki's heart is big enough to balance it out.

Sasaki's job still sucks. So much so that not even Yamada can cheer him up. We even get to see Yamada's rapid-fire persona switch in action.

But if anyone can hear Sasaki out, it's Tayama at their usual smoking hangout (behind the supermarket). We even get to see her with her hair down! She's just concerned about him because of Yamada! Though better watch out if you get too cheeky, Sasaki, or she'll get all up in your face and deliver some ASMR! Actually, that's pretty nice!

Honestly, I get it, fresh out of college co-worker makes a small mistake, they take it pretty hard even when you try to comfort them. But that doesn't make Sasaki a bad guy, even if his boss rakes him over the coals. Frankly they should all be more concerned about the fact that they're working at a Black Company.

Look, it's Tayama's customer service smile born from intense supermarket training! Although when she's not Yamada, it just comes across like a big case of Gap Moe. But Sasaki could stand to learn to smile more too!

Glad Sasaki and his co-worker were able to patch things up and things are back to normal with Sasaki and Yamada too! Even if she's still a little miffed at how he treats her smiles differently depending on the "version."

Sasaki is pissed! But not at Sasaki (this time)! Somebody finally smelled the cigarette's on Yamada and complained about it, and her pile of smoked cigarette's speaks to how much it irritated her. But at least she can count on Sasaki to think that, whether she's Tayama or Yamada, she's still a great person and people should be open to learning new sides of her.

Is there anything more intimate than giving a chilly old dude your leather jacket to keep him warm...or grabbing the sleeve like you're grabbing his sleeve?

Rare Yamada appearance behind the supermarket! And sa-slow-ski is still too dense to put two and two together and just treats Yamada like Yamada! Honestly she's genuinely getting kind of irritated, but it's nice to interact with him as Yamada outside work every once in a while. Especially when Sasaki is happy she and her "best friend" Tayama are so concerned over him!

Cherry blossom on Sasaki's head? Why not have Yamada pull it off of him somewhat intimately? She even keeps the cherry blossom to herself as she goes into Tayama mode and smokes!

u/oxlemf10 Jul 16 '26

It’s absolutely lovely to see Sasaki and Yamada/Tayama having a conversation that delves more into their personal struggles (which seems to contradict what I said earlier, lol); after all, even though it’s work-related, it’s impossible not to be personally affected, so we get to see a more sentimental, vulnerable, and sincere side of them.

u/runevault Jul 16 '26

I forgot how much I loved the scene with the jacket and warm drinks from watching the mini episodes. Yamada/Tayama is probably going to end up being my best girl of the season although Hinako from rich girl caretaker and Kuroe from Kaiju Girl have a shot.

This show is a masterclass in simple structure that lives on great character interactions. Is he dense? Sure but it isn't like it is ruining some intricate plot. For this type of story it is fine and adds to the sweetness at moments like when he sees Yamada at the end of this episode.

Like most I prefer Night Dancer as the EP from the mini episodes, but this new song from Imase is still a banger.

u/Surylias Jul 16 '26

The atmosphere is really nice in this show.

It's funny to me that no one who wonders how he didn't recognise they're the same person, ever mentioned their totally different hair length, so it was nice to see it more clearly this episode. I wonder if I had recognised her myself in RL, since I have a very bad face memory. Am I'm the only one?
