| Who knew character bonds can be felt through fried rice. Shiroha and Nanami's relationship is so wholesome in this arc. On the other hand, Shiroha is still young in this show so her feeling are kinda all over the place again. Feels like this episode/arc has its emotional swings often. |

| This anime may leave me with no more tears. 😢🥹😢🥲😭 |
| Authentic. |
| I’m so fucking slow man how did I not connect the doubts that Nanami is umi from the future lmao. Literally went over the “umi” bit and saw her hair color last week, but it never clicked to me. I thought she was a combination of Shiroha parents, but still looks like she’s playing the role I thought she was in helping Shiroha come to terms with losing her parents. It does raise the question of what happened to Shiroha’s mother, she tried to use her ability to reach the dad, but did she turn into a butterfly or just legitimately die when she jumped off the cliff. And then does that make this whole story a time loop where umi helps Shiroha get over her trauma and Shiroha does the same to umi eternally? Very interesting It really hurt me seeing Shiroha throw the lantern on the floor in class, I can’t imagine how it must feel to lose both your parents so suddenly at such a young age. The granddad is remarkably strong as well for not breaking down It’s kinda funny how all of these problems could’ve been avoided if any of the family would’ve just written instructions on how to use their ability properly instead of hiding from it. It runs in the family might as well embrace and use it safely lol. I expect this to break me by the end tho. |

| This one hit hard. It's sad to see a child having to grow up without their parents. Shiroha's mother knew what was going on but she couldn't stop it and now it's Umi's turn. Hopefully they will find a remedy so it won't happen again. |
| Such a sad episode, it's heartbreaking to see what Shiroha goes through with not having parents. |
| So, fun summers somehow harden you against the dangers of the 'power'. No idea how that works. |

| All the problems of the Nanasa family would have been solved if at least someone had thought of not wasting time on various nonsense, but writing instructions for their ability, explaining everything properly to future generations. |
| The conclusion Shiroha drew with the lanterns was heartbreaking, man. And while Nanami might not have all her memories back yet, I gotta imagine how awkward it must be to be antagonized by the kid forms of your mom's friends. |
| Another well made episode. The feels of the final arc is here, the emotional attachment towards Nanami and Shiroha is here too. Really hope they'll make a good adaptation to the final. |

@LordCrueltyV It's more of "Don't fixated in the past" kind of word, young Shiroha can't move on about her parents yet and that's would lead to the awaken of her mental time loop power.
| @Marioak_z Well, that makes some sort of sense. |

| Opening now features the gang as children as well as a younger Kyouko. This episode is loaded with anime-original goodies for everyone to enjoy for the first time. Granny Katou doesn't have any scenes with Umi or anyone for that matter as far as I remember. Nanami's flood of memories also occurs in the diner shortly after they complete the fried rice but it's done pretty well here. She now remembers her mission to help her mom. Shiroha is getting some ideas and I'm not sure I like them...Next episode is going to be a doozy.

It's never explained how she ended up like that but judging from the various story arcs it's likely Nanami is similar to Kamome - a bunch of memory butterflies bundled together under a coat and nice hat pretending to be an adult to try get into the movies. If they can exist thousands of miles away from the real person they can exist across long distances in time as well. |

| Someone discovered some power. No idea what that means, but here we go again with a certain festival with lanterns in the waves, right? |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| This episode was filled with nothing but sadness. =( The more we learn about Shiroha and her family lineage, the more depressing it gets. I do respect Kobato for doing what he can to protect Shiroha, but it was only a matter of time before Shiroha started to question more about where her mother went. The scene in the classroom with the lanterns only adds to that overall sadness for Shiroha. As for Nanami, she now remembers that she is Umi and does remember her main mission of helping her mother. I can't put a fault on her efforts so far, although she is struggling to get to the bottom of this issue. With two episodes left, I do see something happening that'll progress this arc a lot. All I can hope for is a happy ending, but not before dealing with more drama and sadness. |

| Poor little Shiroha. Seeing her crying always makes me sad... |

| Haven’t been very into this Nanami arc so far, it just feels weird that we’re all the sudden back in time and Hairi is replaced as MC with Umi, but she has a new name and personality, it’s just not as satisfying as I thought it would be. Of course we still have episodes left, the time for it feel like all the dots are connected and whatnot can still happen, but I would like just a bit more before we get there. And yeah I know we’re getting this backstory on Shiroha and her family, that’s cool and all, but I’m not that into it sadly, mainly because of how they keep beating around the bush regarding what happened to Shiroha’s mom, like yeah now we know it’s something to do with the price of the power the Naruse family has, but poor Shiroha is just confused because no one will tell her exactly what it is and I can’t blame her, I’d be mad too if my parents just disappeared and no one will tell me why, it’s just kinda annoying imo. Well at least Nanami has her memories as Umi now, not that it changed much because she was already helping Shiroha anyway, but let’s see where it goes from here with these new developments, I feel bad that this post is mostly me complaining but I am still interested in how this ends. |

| I'm not sure if I understand what this "power" is but it sounds more like a curse since it seems to kill off the people that inherit it. Also, now it's 100% confirmed that Nanami is Umi in the future which I suspected in the previous episode but was not 100% sure and on that note it must be kind of awkward for Nanami to be ganged up by kids that are her mother's age lol. Anyways, I hope that Nanami and Shiroha get to the bottom of this "power" so that they can prepare for it and have this series end on a happy ending... |
| There's a little thing parallel to the story that has been catching my attention since the last episode: Why has NanUmi been using "boku" instead of "atashi" when referring to herself? 🤔 |
| I hope we'll get more answers about the butterfly power next ep because I still wonder what genuinely happened to Shiroha's mother, anyway that's even worse for Shiroha and it hurts seeing her mentally destroyed by the loss of her parents... and she doesn't realize her own daughter from the future is currently trying to help her |
 |
| Sheesh, they were able to recreate the recipe. Shiroha's family really got it rough, I probably said this more than twice already lol. The friend gang got Shiroha's back in the past as well sheesh. Shiroha and Nanami/Umi got real love for their parents, stuffs gotta happen though. Surely they'll be able to experience a happy summer. Seems like Shiroha is pondering at the end, wonder how the last two episodes are gonna go. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| First time we've ever seen Kato, and the little build up before hand with her behind the umbrella was executed perfectly. The power they're referring to is the one Shiroha and Umi have been using this whole time btw, you'll understand in the next episodes that telling Shiroha where her mother is would start the whole descent into her eventual death, but even without being told she ends up figuring it out in the timelines we've experienced. |

I have a theory... |
