Manga is pretty fast paced, so I like they took their time with anime's pacing. And those anime-only scenes are soo good and blend in naturally.

Btw I think the opening song could be the one they will perform on the stage.

So I guess someone here is realising how he is truly feeling :g: I wonder when Ueno-kun will finally fess up. I really, really love the slow pace of this show. When Mafuyu was just walking around town - that was so peaceful.

I was feeling myself almost about to broke in tears during all the episode. About the intesity of the chapter I may say it was much more struggle the release of his own real emotions by Uenoyama in the manga than anime in my opinion.

Uenoyama is jealous, I shouldn't be grinning given it's connected to Mafuyu's past involving a tragic event but I still am.

'Please stop killing me with kindness' - Haruki
This anime really sets the atmosphere right, it's a mix of really interesting things. Next is the bf of Kaji's, I hope I was wrong about him.....

Really deep episode, enjoyed a lot. I'm starting to like Mafuyu more now that I understand a bit of his past.

This is the most peaceful episode. Visiting all these places Mafuyu probably faced his past was amazing.

I am truly loving this series so far and this episode is probably my favorite so far. We see Mafuyu struggling to make up some lyrics and we see Uenoyama starting to question his feelings for Mafuyu whether these feelings are platonic or romantic feelings.

I really enjoyed this episode, watching Mafuyu wandering around, thinking and reflecting on the lyrics and his past. It felt bittersweet. The animation and sound design felt perfect and set the tone of inner exploration

“I was just trying to make conversation.” Ah yes. I, too, accuse people of causing the deaths of their loved ones in order to pass the time.

Kinda chuckled at the end when he was jealous. Like, I get you can’t help if you’re jealous, but bro, his boyfriend’s dead.

I don’t necessarily disagree with the comment about this largely being popular because it’s BL. I mean, I was looking for some BL when I found this since there’s basically no good GL and the only BL anime I’ve seen have had a lot of sexual harassment and dubious consent and goddammit I need healthy LGBTQ representation. Yeah, for some people that’s the driving force to watch it. I still don’t think it’d be a bomb if it weren’t a BL, though. As I said in a previous post, I get very strong Your Lie In April vibes from this anime. And while I got bored at some points in Your Lie In April and it gets critique about the manic pixie dream girl trope, I overall enjoyed it. “X is only popular because Y” is probably something you could argue with a lot of series.

Oh, and did Uenoyama tell Akihito about the rumor or something? I was wondering why he was trying to stop Haruki.

So he was jealous, but of what. That's still good tho, i thought he must have some hate,afraid or such feelings.

(spoiler alert) I really enjoyed it. I like how they continued to build up the relationship between Mafuyu and Yuki but didn't tell us everything and kept building up suspense. I also really like the side romance between Haruki and Akihiko.
