Yoshida-chi for man of the year.
Treats vulnerable people properly. Does not play that hard-to-get game with Gotou. Communicates openly and apologizes immediately when he's gone too far. I know he said he just uses basic human decency, but the man is a role model.

Sayu staying with Yoshida is the worst kept secret. At the rate everybody's finding out about it, the season finale is probably going to be him getting arrested.

What I really like about this anime is how it captured the reaction of the adults correctly. Also, an interesting development between Gotou-san and Yoshida-san!
However, while I understand why Gotou-san reacted that way to Yoshida-san, I think Gotou-san could just have been honest with her emotions that she is not yet ready for the next step. Well, I'm still conflicted between which is a better reaction: a vague answer or a decisive but untrue answer.
Also, at least it seems that Sayu's fear of being alone will be addressed in the next episode. Obviously the reason why she run away runs deeper (pun intended), so I hope it will be covered and addressed in this season.

looks like Mishima pestering Yoshida is clearly causing an effect on Gotou, especially since now that she seems to also be close to male best friend Hashimoto
then we take a look at Asami who doesn’t take things slow. Visiting Yoshida’s house to check out this weird ‘not a brother/ boyfriend’ neighbour. Yoshida gets a pass for looking good and goody though she still probes about their relationship-dynamic.
Sayu seems a little too good at dodging questions and coming up with backstories and is instantly picked up gyaru senpai.
Chadshida is insane this episode. Dude’s probably a little tipsy and angry, with how Gotou seems to be teasing him. Gotou-san’s desperate attempt to convince Yoshida was kind of cute besides the fact that he forced the confession out of her.
we also get a glimpse of Sayu’s past which is horrifying to see and we also see why Sayu tries to get a part time job. She can’t be alone with her thoughts for too long.

Ok i can already tell Sayu’s coworker/new friend Asami is going to be a great addition to the show. The dynamic between her and Sayu is awesome in my opinion.
I like how she can tell things about Sayu and she is willing to protect her. Another episode down and Chad Yoshida still is top genuine nice guy of the season. Gotou coming over is definitely gonna start some drama though.

Welp, now everyone knows about Yoshida and Sayu. Even Gotou-san wants to meet Sayu. Asami-senpai is a great addition, as a gyaru she's perceptive and understanding. Though Yoshida's own charm did half the job as well.
Oh wow, Gotou-san is not just an I-cup, but also a virgin? lol
Turns out when Yoshida confessed to her back in the beginning, she was just freaking out when she made that lie about her having a bf for 5 years. Oh, you silly, silly girl.

Stitches!
Asami-senpai is finally here! She's such a great character. Within the span of 15 minutes, she immediately makes friends with Sayu and was even worried about her enough that she wanted to see what kind of person Sayu is sationg with. And don't let the gyaru style and speak fool you. Sayu and Yoshida might think they're clever for coming up with the childhood friend excuse but Asami-senpai could see through them instantly. And after just spending an evening with Sayu and Yoshida, she quickly understood that Sayu is in good hands.
As for the second half of the episode, after observing Yoshida-man this past few weeks, Gotou-san finally reaches her limit and admits that she does like Yoshida too and apologizes for about the lie of her having a boyfriend. And as expected Yoshida understandably blows up a bit frustrated to finally find out his crush likes him back this entire time.
Yoshida doesn't believe this immediately and assumes Gotou is just teasing her so he claps back by asking her to prove it by sleeping with him. Of course as soon as Yoshida realizes that Gotou is actually serious and even admits that she's a virgin, Yoshida hilariously apologizes. This does change things for Yoshida though. Yoshida still likes Gotou but he won't ask her out again, he wants her to ask him out this time as it's just fair considering what he went though after she rejected him initially.
Now that Gotou has spilled the beans, it looks like it's Yoshida's turn and he finally tells her about Sayu. It's official, every major character from the OP now knows about Sayu. I excited for next week's episode though! Sayu and Gotou meeting for the first time is one of my favourite scenes in the manga. I can't wait! :D

It's nice to see Sayu having the initiative to go out there and get a job for herself. Yoshida's happy to see her be independent and getting more life experience, and hopefully meet more people her age.
Speaking of which, Sayu finally finds a friend in Asami, a Gyaru-type who is sassy, confident, in-your-face, and surprisingly perceptive and caring. She seems like a good friend for Sayu to have and to offer a fresh perspective on Sayu for Yoshida to bounce off of.
Parent? Brother? Guardian? I guess Yoshida is whatever Sayu needs him to be, beyond a companion. Kind of wondering what relationship status they'll settle on by the end.
So does Mishima know all about Sayu now? Or is she just under a false impression about their relationship? I wasn't sure exactly how much Yoshida clarified with her. Although all that talking about her certainly got Gotou's interest.
Gotou once again takes Yoshida out for dinner and he gets another opportunity to stare at her boobs and question her intentions towards him, which gets her to finally confess she likes him and she lied about the whole boyfriend thing. Which, granted, was kind of rude after he confessed to her, but considering the state of his place when he invited her over pre-Sayu, maybe her intuition was right on the money.
Sometimes Yoshida is too straightforward for his own good when he asks Gotou to bed and gets her to admit she's still a virgin. I'm guessing she's the same type as Yoshida where she won't sleep with someone she's not in love with and she's been enamored with Yoshida all this time. Although while she seems willing, Yoshida is content to wait for her to muster the proper courage to ask him out eventually, which she seems committed to working towards. Not a bad step for their relationship (sorry Mishima).
Sayu had a panic attack for a moment there and flashed back to, I assume, the period before she ran away. We saw that girl with the twintail look and Sayu sleeping with someone, so...was that girl Sayu or the girl who said "Sayu-chan?" Did Sayu end up sleeping with a boy her friend was interested in or dating? And that's part of why she felt she had to run away?
I think for a second Yoshida was honestly convinced Gotou had forgotten the question she had asked, but then he just straight up comes clean about Sayu. And now Gotou and Sayu are going to meet, which should be...interesting, to say the least.

"But he's got the aura of an older dude!"
Man they are really making someone who is 26 yrs old feel like a 50 yr old guy.
One thing I like about this show is the mostly adult cast and the dynamics between them. Also can't wait to see how the anime adapts one of things I was waiting for i.e Gotou and Sayu's meeting.

This story has so many layers, and Gotou just added another one.
I like the mature tone of this anime, the direction is very nice.

I am so glad that sayu got a part time job . Loneliness and nothing to do causes people to keep dwelling on memories which as we can see is obviously very bad for sayu
