- yuki is so cute, i can't
- tons of funny reactions from her again, i bet the manga is full of them lol
- i also save coins from other countries when i see them being used (since euro can be used in so many countries), it's fun
- Rin love side is also looking good
- Oushi is clearly jealous, but he is also a meanie, throwing tissues at her lmao and ofc, the 1st thing he ever signed... "you fool" HAHAHA
- i also noticed in another episode, but she had brown hair and now it's pink, wonder if she paints it and for what reason
- guess Emma isn't very lucky, maybe she had a chance before mc het Yuki

excited to watch more of this, maybe i'll end up checking the manga after season ends

Series is trying its hardest to do Childhood-Friend-kun dirty but it won't work. Still the only character with potential so far.

Also Yuki's super sugary monologues are starting to get tiring.

This episode was mostly cute and adorable! Love how Itsuomi really wants to learn sign language now *-*. He's an interesting character... aside from how he just randomly likes to touch people. But I feel like they try to show how much he travelled and how he is used to other cultures. But I really wonder what's behind his roaming around.

I feel a little bad for Yuki after all the work she put into that book and these drawings. But him learning it in person might be better :). The way they showed them having the same conversation yet perceiving it very differently was so realistic for a romance anime. I've got to give them this. And I'm glad the pace seems to slow down a little and they start to get to know each other now. The random German line really surprised me :D

I'm still absolutely in love with the aesthetics of this anime and the chill vibes it gives. I need more anime like this <3. I feel like I've discovered such a gem of an anime.

Ema seems... annoying to be honest. Don't really know what to make of her. Sure she looks pretty but I feel like I will end up not liking her. As for Oushi... part of me understands why he is so worried about Yuki but then again... Sherltering her won't do Yuki any good. I actually like that about Itsuomi. How he starts questions others might not dare to ask but it really shows his interest in Yuki's world and maybe even herself as a person.

Its actually pretty clever since it is a fairly gentle way to get Yuki's attention that isnt particularly startling like someone reaching out to touch her on the street at night without knowing who is there.

Yuki coming up with a sign language guide for Itsuomi, but wanting to know about her deaf circumstances anyway, it's the same with the guide. But Itsuomi rather he learns directly from Yuki as he learns it by instinct, as the two inches closer with Yuki having a clear infatuation over Itsuomi. Itsuomi's classmates of hairstylist Shin Iryu and Emma, they're the same typical bunch, but Emma hogging Itsuomi for herself, it's clearly eating at Yuki, though Kyouya ascertains that they'll never get together given their relationship.

Rin is getting close with Kyouya, and so too is Yuki with Itsuomi. Yuki taking the chance to meet him at the laundromat at night, is coincidentally overseen by Oushi thinking that Itsuomi is playing with her and throwing packets of tissues at her. But Yuki knows that he's not, which they both share a moment together, espeically for the latter whom he feels like he hasn't had a grasp on the outside world since meeting her signing him, and that makes her heart beat even more. Despite the snow and her Yuki's curfew which Itsuomi kindly brought her home, Yuki asks about Shin and Emma, though he only thinks of them as friends. And Itsumo taking Yuki's sign language and learning it in a hearty way, that's really nice and heartwarming.

It's clear that Itsuomi doesn't see Emma as a love interest, despite her bringing booze to his place. And finding the sign language guide on his dining table, she knows far well that she has no chance of ever winning him.

The childhood friend acts next, and how will Oushi respond?

This is just a self-indulging of cute and sweet romance but with its own overarching quirk. Pretty standard and predictable, tbh.

Watch the score take a nose-dive after it finishes airing.

"Teach me in person" he's so damn smooth... please, I'm melting!! Emma is pretty cute ngl. Why does Yuki remind me of a "normal" villager from AC? But in the best possible way because those are my favorite villagers."Or do you not" kills me every single time lmao the fact that Yuki didn't realize he was talking hurt, ugggh she would've died if she saw what he said. This anime makes me feel all giddy and shit. Oooo is Itsuomi possibly jealous of her childhood friend? Also why is the childhood friend think so poorly of Itsuomi?

É fofinho demais, e com um melodrama clássico, com um triangulo amoroso talvez? Não gostei dessa Ema, ela tá fazendo os bagulhos dela, mas sei lá. O Itsu precisa deixar as coisas claras com ela.

E que visual lindo desse anime, a trilha sonora, efeitos, tô apaixonada <3

I know this is gonna be unfair for the anime and especially this episode in particular.

I was deeply invested in the love birds seen in the laundry room, a beautiful connection..... Until the man decides to say "Du bist Süss", which is german for "You are cute"..... In my life I have never heard a sentence that sent such shiwers down my spine. By the dear gods, that was the cringes thing I have heard/seen in a long while. A japanese accent, saying a german sentence, that in my german life time non have ever truly said to anybody, with a deep voice. That single moment ruined that episode for me, as Mister child predator just replaced our dear man for the rest of the episode.

Ideally there should be no reason whatsoever for Yuki to feel this way, I mean we're just at episode three. Moreover I could literally count the number of times they've met yet on my four fingers, but still for some reason we could see flowers blooming in the background whenever Yuki's talking with the dude.

Nah man, also if that childhood friend wasn't already enough, that we got another super annoying character.

Why every character voiced by Touyama Nao has to be like that lol.

weird that they didn't translate what Itsuomi says over the head of Yuki in another language.

because it's kinda relevant: in the manga at least he speaks in German:" You're cute".
@gawed thank you for this, I came to the comments looking for a translation!!

Well, another wholesome episode ! They really are made to be together. Their relationship seems to evolve really fast which is good.

I kinda figure it out that Ema hadn't any chances and it seems it isn't the first time she tryes to seduce him. I really hope she doesn't destroy the notebook.

On the other hand Yuki's childhood friend begins to show his true colors. He really has the role that annoys you in any anime. He may want to protect her but his reaction tends more to a possessive behavior.

Emma obviously has feelings for Itsoumi and I feel like she’s going to find out he’s interested in Yuki and it’s going to cause tension. I’m excited for next week’s episode!

I notice that the anime is keeping a pretty steady pace with the manga so far. By the end of episode 3, you'll be a little way into chapter 5. I like that they're keeping up with the manga. I already wish they released a season 2. I'm looking forward to any news.

She's already thinking about his fingers, talk about planning ahead how she's going to spend her time with him. Their conversations are so frustrating because it seems she's barely getting half of them and yet getting the full picture. Deaf yet not deaf.

Oushi's still acting like he's from another serie, she doesn't even consider him a friend, why is even the point of his role lol

This Emma lady sounds boring and embarrasing.

Yuki falling for him so hard feels like fanservice for some people.

Emma might cause her problems, especially once she sees her sign language guide.
