Man, this episode had a weird mood from serious to goofy. Botan teasing Hyouma was not every in character LOL

Still, the two are closer than ever. The group deserved that hotpot party after all the drama they've been recently tbh.

Tsubaki having a link to Hyoma's siblings Kusui and Hayato who are prodigies in their own right with the paper umbrella tsukumogami being a tool of revenge, joining the Kyoto Saenome would've proven beneficial for the youngest son. But taking her hand also proved that the embodiment of the Kadomori philosophy can turn an ugly head on Hyoma, who's also pursuing the same tsukumogami to destroy it personally. The commitments of both his own goal and Botan herself is important, but so is the Nagatsuki band of tsukumogami in having hotpot together from Haori trying to get both him and Botan together.

The tsukumogami way of getting ingredients, some are typical, while some are unique, like Nagi's sake battle. Botan getting all flustered while Hyoma's his usual coldness until he's triggered, it's obvious that the arranged marriage is also on his mind, and both Yuu and Nagi aren't all that happy about it, even when she's drunk to land on Hyoma.

If anything, Hyoma's 3 months in the Nagatsuki family have changed him thoroughly in and out, and Botan's family is a fine one.

Yea this show really grew on me. If for nothing else, botan and Hyoma relationship. I love how she finally starting to realise how she feels about him. Really cute slice of life style episode after a pretty wild last couple eps.

Tsubaki's dad really is playing a dangerous game. Tsubaki though was a far bigger prodigy though. That skill when backed by her confidence really made her a fearsome person. Her reaction to being rejected by Hyoma though was priceless. Its the little things in life that can bring you the greatest joy. Haori really has become quite the romance expert though. It was fun seeing Botan's team make use of their abilities in their quest to get the ultimate ingredients. But Botan trying to gaunge Hyoma's interest takes the cake for how funny it was. But in the end that hot pot looked delicious. Overall a fun ep that featured some nice story progression and bonding moments between Botan and Hyoma.

tsubaki looked very different when she was younger knew of hyouma's siblings. kagami really knows how to go fish shopping and i didn't know she could transform like that.
i get very bored with the action scenes in this show, but hyouma and botan scenes, i do enjoy. kaori the mastermind lmao botan really putting on the burners (unintentionally) and hyouma's flustered.

Great SoL episode, Haori is a great wing-woman and it was funny when Yu dropped her note and Hyouma read it. Yu is overprotective of Botan and witnessed her on top of Hyouma and later on leaning on him (it was nice to see Yu smile when she was helping Hyouma walk and after she called him an idiot).

The hot pot looked delicious and it looks like the action will pick up again in the next episode.

Does anybody know the OST that is played when Tsubaki's background story is being explained?

That beat was fire.

I need to know as well.

We have two more episodes and so much more to find out. I really want this to get a second season but I'm getting Kemono Jihen vibes again...

This was a pretty cute episode :D

We got to see Botan and Hyouma get closer and we learned a bit more about Hyouma's siblings

Not much really happened, but it was nice overall! It looks like the next episode might get intense though, especially since there's only what? 2 more episodes left? How the heck is this going to end?
