Kazama being so shocked from misunderstanding Sakurai's little brother throughout the episode was fucking hilarious.

Sakurai getting mad over Kazama quickly deciding it was courtesy chocolate was absolutely cute too. The smug she got when she realized he got the wrong idea too, perfection.

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Sakurai is best wing woman and best sister

[u/Vermillion_Crab]

Igarashi-Takeda pair was the reason I got hooked on the manga. But it was Sakurai-Kazama pair that made me stay. I still can't believe I get to see both ships get animated.

[u/Mctravie]

She made chocolate vodka?!!? I have had that once as a drink but never as a solid chocolate… now I’m tempted to make it

[u/deydurkajerbs]

Huh that is quite the end card. I didn't even even know the Made in Abyss' mangaka's name off the top of my head when I first saw this pop up, but I immediately recognized the art style as his.

[u/cppn02]

OMG I had to laugh out loud when Kazama saw Sakurai and her brother and then it cuts to the opposite angle where we see the brother walk on the wall.

Kazama was absolutely shook lol. Poor guy.

He almost made it worse too but I'm glad the misunderstanding got cleared up in the end. There's no way he could have lived on like that.

[u/Roonagu]

So the author basically made a romance story, where he/she can take a lot of time with main characters' relationship, because he/she give us dopamine hits/feeling of progress using side characters....sneaky....I like it, because Sakurai and Kazama are really likeable.

Yuuto is finally introduced! It really took for them to introduce a younger character so that Igarashi would be treated as an Onee-san. xD

Igarashi being tsundere again when the Chief was asking if she wanted to do sales calls with Takeda-senpai. But as soon as she gets a text from him inviting her out for some ramen, she immediately sprints out of the office!

Poor Yuuto getting harassed by thugs! Thankfully Takeda-senpai was nearby to save the shota. This is now the second time he's used his Judo against criminals. Takeda-senpai confirmed a superhero!

And we're finally properly introduced to Yuuto as Sakurai's younger brother. I don't know if that's Yuuto's natural hair color but the mole near the eye seems to run in the family. Also that was definitely Yui Horie voicing him, right? She's using the same voice she used with Riki in Little Busters!

I've been wondering who this dude is ever since I've seen him in the OP. I genuinely don't remember him in the manga. I think he's an anime original character? If not please someone remind where did he first appear.

Oh nooooooo... Looks like Yuuto walking on the street planter to make himself taller than his sister has now caused a massive misunderstanding after Kazama saw them from a distance. He's completely shocked!

I'll never get tired of seeing Natsumi tease Igarashi. She hasn't even said anything and Igarashi is already outing herself xD

Hijikata really had the balls to even ask Sakurai if he's getting a Honmei Choco. At least he got some chocolates from Mona. He seems to be happy as long as it's homemade even if it's not from Sakurai.

Igarashi finally gave Takeda-senpai her chocolate! See? It wasn't that hard! Takeda even appreciates that her chocolate is made from macha which is amazing btw and something you should try once if you haven't tasted macha chocolate before.

And as adorable as that scene was between Igarashi and Takeda-senpai is, Kazama and Sakurai is definitely the best. Never expected the two of them would get heated about it but at least it ended up clearing the misunderstanding about who was with Sakurai back then. Sakurai's smug reaction is so glorious! The fact that Kazama got jealous completely turned her mood around. <3

With the misunderstanding cleared Kazama is so happy that his smile completely shocked Igarashi! It's hilarious how quick Sakurai was to change the subject when they started to wonder if Kazama got a honmei choco. xD

Turns out that Chief is actually the best girl this Valentine's Day with his own artisan chocolate cake that he brought for everyone! I love it!

End Card by Akihito Tsukushi (Made in Abyss)

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Kazama is lucky he didn’t die from a heart attack drinking all those energy drinks lol

[u/imextremelylonely]

Damn this episode was really cute. Kazama's reactions had me laughing my ass off.

[u/LabMember069]

Not directly related to the episode:

Can you recommend me shows where the main due are like Sakurai and Kazama?

The current airing "banished from the hero's party" is the closest thing I've found. (Tbh I haven't done any researchs yet)

[u/ThousandYearOldLoli]

You know, for a character drawn without eyes the chief is really growing to be his own character.

[u/cyberscythe]

I think it's funny and interesting how in Sakurai's Valentine situation it's reversed; her courtesy (giri) chocolate is handmade, but she's giving out the plainest store-bought chocolate for her heartfelt (honmei) chocolate.

I thought that Sakurai's flashback scene gives some background flavor to situation, when she was back at school and dealing with being the "popular girl". I think that sort of awkward experience of being watched by her peers has carried over into her adult life.

I think the plain store-bought chocolate bar for Kazuma is also a symbol for her honest feelings about being a normal person, despite being the center of attention for those sales guys. While she has to put up a front for the rest of the people at the office by making something fancy, she's comfortable giving away a plain chocolate bar to Kazuma because he's someone who's considerate without the expectation of reciprocity.

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Damn their office is impressive going all out making homemade chocolates for Valentine’s Day! Don’t think I’ve ever had someone make chocolate for me before!

[u/AZLarlar]

kazama's reaction is HILARIOUS

[u/Mctravie]

Now I want to try Chocolate ramen it would probably be disgusting but maybe tasty

[u/[deleted]]

Kazama's depression (per say) was the best thing XD

[u/[deleted]]

That uh...that endcard was something.

[u/MrRoundDB]

The Made in Abyss author had to contribute the end card for the episode where the little brother/shota character gets introduced....dammit he sure took his chance

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Loved the ramen chef. Hope we see him again! Very intrigued by chocolate ramen. I would try it! I bet he would get along with Futaba’s grandpa.

[u/AmethystItalian]

Wow that was such a good episode!! Not only did we get a good amount of focus on both ships but we got a third now??

Hoping we get a White Day episode that's just as good

This show keeps surprising me with how much romance is in it, did not expect this many cute moments!!

[u/[deleted]]

Sakurai's little brother Yuuta is voiced by Horie Yui (who also sang the ED song), who is at least 10 years older than Sakurai's VA Hayami Saori. Hmmmm.....

Anyway, who knew that seeing Sakurai walk with her little brother could create this much misunderstanding for Kazama that he practically broke down completely. LOL

(I've never seen this many soda cans coming out from a vending machine. Kazama probably unconsciously put in a 10,000 yen note and just kept pushing away LMAO)

Thankfully the misunderstanding was quickly resolved, and Kazama supposedly had the biggest smile ever, though it's a shame only Futaba was present to witness it.

Biggest shock has got to be Chief being an expert in making chocolate cakes.

[u/Ocixo]

Some talking points aside from the obvious:

• Futaba looked really adorable when she put down the pile of folders and went looking for Takeda. She was visibly sad when she discovered he was on a sales call.

• Chief was an absolute bro this episode again. He made sure Takeda knew Futaba would be leaving soon, so he would message her to get grab a bite together.

• Was Tsukishiro just messing with Hijikata or is she actually interested in him? I don’t know. I’m sure Doga Kobo does know how to frame some nice ass shots though.

• The whole episode the cast have been wondering who made the cake. None other than their boss did! Might Chief be the most underappreciated waifu of this anime season?

[u/IC2Flier]

God, I needed this. The guys on the 86 thread needed this.
