I thought Mafuyu was just an airhead, but he does show some autistic traits like not picking up on social cues. I think it maybe somewhere in the middle. The shyness, aloofness, and not picking up on social cues is a common theme/trope throughout anime/manga. I think our kindhearted Mafuyu had all the aforementioned traits but not to the extreme degree he is now. I believe whatever happened before this series started may have also impacted Mafuyu mentally and emotionally. Extreme physical and psychological trauma has been known to change peoples personalities - to the point they are no longer recognizable to their previous personality imprints. The story would be even better if he did have some form of autism and it was addressed in the story. It would be a great way to bring awareness and normalize stigmas around autism. That would be some groundbreaking territory!! |

I dont know how to say this and dont give you spoilers, but his odd personality right now might be because of previous results of a tragedy that he had been as it showed at some Mafuyu's flashbacks as the one whilst he attented a funeral of someone really especial for him |
| lol gladly im not the only one who's starting to notice how cringy and comical it is this "angelical" portrait of Mafuyu's voice. They really tried to show as a exuberant tone but it seems wacky, it would be better if he was humming beats instead of these weird lalala lmao. |
chewyycat said: Low? It has a rating close to 8 and this has not yet been 9 or 10 material. I think it is rated just fine.It’s sad that this show has such a low rating. Everyone who watches it REALLY loves it. I think people give it a low score just because it’s shounen ai. |
| Aaaah this show is so underrated, I swear it gets better with every episode. I like the slow pace and how different and refreshing it feels compared to most shonen ai. Uenoyama googling how to talk to someone after you were rejected was so funny. Also I think Haruki might have a crush on Akihiko based on some scenes like the beginning of the episode. Can't wait to see how Mafuyu joining the band will play out :D |
| Pretty good episode |
| This episode was the kick off to becoming something great. We're actually finding more out about sato. He's such a mysteries character right and they've only more to wonder about which was at a good time. Im glad i picked this one up and can't wait for me boy love :3 |
stand said: For me the characters come across way better here than the source. It's probably because of the slower more methodical approach, which doesn't work for all anime. La la part is too awkward though I can't listen to it lol. Same, I feel so much secondhand embarrassment when he starts singing... |
| loli have no issue with the lala part :))) |
The spider is watching |
| The lalala took me off guard but now I'm even more eager to hear the actual lyrics. Eiralyndel said: So not only does this show have Kageyama, Hinata, Tsukki and Asahi, but there's also Akaashi and Kenma? :O I mean, that guy approaching the black-blond guy (Kenma?) at the end was clearly Akaashi >:O The artist is an amazing Haikyuu doujin artist, you should read them if you haven't. As soon a blondie came on I was like "that's obviously Kenma" but I didn't notice the similaries between Hinata-Kageyama and Mafuyu-Uecchi until now. Probably because Mafuyu's personality is the complete opposite of Hinata, poor boy :( |
sladhaugd said: Ah, I love the Arctic Monkeys references. I was about to say that! Reminds me of Carole & Tuesday references. And next: Fluorescent Adolescent. :) |

| I really like Haruki. OTL Since my brother's a musician, I really kinda wanna have him watch this show. ;o; I did break down and read the manga. I'm ready. ;o;; But now I have to try to make sure I'm not typing about something that's in the manga but not the episode yet on accident.;; |
| I loved the scream scene from Ritsuka, I even felt the same as he about Mafuyu's feelings. |
-¡Give yourself to me! |
| I just noticed the ending song is by their band. Thought this in previous episodes too but I like our main ship. |
| Another really good episode. Mafuyu is definitely the kind of guy you wanna protect, can't wait to learn more about him. |

| Mafuyu reminds me of myself when I was a teenager. I'm officially onboard with this show. This is better than Bloom into You. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| I've been wondering since I saw the previous episode, but Mafuyu's voice actor, reminded me of Yuki Kaji. Their voice are similar somehow :P Anyways, great episode! |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| His voice is so ridiculous hahaha |
 |
| his voice is awful wtf characters are terrible hate this |
 |
| mafuyu's character is explored more. he says he doesn't know how to react to things like everyone else can? also we also get a little bit of his past. im pretty interested in his backstory and who yuki is. the LALALALA is killing me |
| Sato seems like he has trauma from what happened in the past and is now in a almost constant state of dissociation/numbing out. I'm excited to watch more to see how joining the band will help his healing and getting past that traumatic experience! |
| desu desu binches |
| Poor Mafuyu. (T_T) |
| Everyone in this show is such a goddamn mess, but I mean that endearingly. Anyway, still a little stale for me, and I still can’t take Sato’s singing seriously. Still better than the other shounen ai anime I’ve seen. Probably. Idk I barely remember anything from Yuri! On Ice, so it probably wasn’t that great. Well, hopefully they pick up the pace a little bit. It feels very Your Lie In April, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I suppose. So far I’ve given every episode a 3/5. Eh, I guess I’ll give this one a 4/5, actually. |

| Now i understands more the way he talks , it's not a disorder but mbye some feelings that prevents him from saying what he has on his mind. Anyways i see improvements now, and a bit more about his past. I don't know who but both of them reminds me of someone. |
| It seems like Sato is autistic. Am I the only one who thinks that? |
