| That has to be the most influential and active role a tree has ever played in a play lol. Though makes sense if it’s the main guy himself playing that part. By the way, the biggest event in every japanese schooler’s life, that is, cultural festival was bound to come in an episode or two here as well, knowing we were kind of following the academic calendar since the start, so yeah, seeing that, or more like, Rin asking for a prized date was worth the event I guess xD Going all the way to Kyoto was certainly something though for their first official “date”. I mean just a few episodes back Rin was hoping to go somewhere far with Eiji anyway, so good to her. Still, how many hints and how many “almost confessions” until the guy will get it, or he might already know ;) |
 |
| Dude, the main guy strikes high with that trip, lmao ... and after a date like that it's really hard to not thing of them as anything else than a full fledged couple too. I mean we haven't seen a proper confession yet, or did it already happened ? I guess tune in next week. |
 |
| Our guy was probably just really lucky the musical he chose to get tickets for happened to be the same one Rin had a poster of in her room, but I prefer to believe he knows his future wife (or should I say wives) well enough by now to give her exactly what she wants without trying. And man, as if the date didn't already do it, the sincerity of Eiji's giggle and Rin's smile at the end turned my heart to complete mush |
| Such a sweet and wholesome episode they both were so cute on their First unofficial date, Rin's smile at the end was just beautiful. |
| Don't be afraido, Rin-chan! She confessed like three times to him now, this is so cute. |
Such a sweet episode! Rin really charge forward with little hesitation. Seems like it just going to get more sweeter from this point onward. |
| A complete focus on romance this week, with Rin getting bolder, and it pays off! Not only does she asks for a date, but she gets it, and you can see Eiji really doing his best to surprise her and make her happy. No fake-outs, no 'we'll do it another time after all', but a real date/travel with just the two of them. Too many adorable moments to quote them all but my favorite is probably Rin falling asleep with her face just inches away from him, and her basically blurting out she likes him for real but actually wants to properly convey her feelings. Really glad Eiji understood and didn't think it was her acting one of her characters, he now knows her feelings, and they were both blushing so hard haha: it's obvious their feelings are mutual, and now I'm getting excited for the next episodes and the end of the season! This episode was just so good I didn't see time pass: when the ed started playing I was surprised as I thought only 10 minutes had passed :) |

| Oh my God this was it. This was the best episode by far. Yea the little skits leading up to the trip were good and all, but we didn’t just get a date, we got an OVERNIGHT TRIP!!! Are you kidding me man this was amazing. Rin and Eiji had me smiling and giggling like a mf throughout. Proud of both of them for having the courage to go through with this thing! Rin getting all flustered and nervous thinking about where she wanted to go on a trip to with eiji was so cute 😭 Deciding on Kyoto was an excellent choice, one of the most beautiful places to see in Japan in autumn. Not too hot either! Going to a play was such a rin and eiji thing to do and eiji falling asleep during it reminded me of a date I went on with my ex. He had to lock in when he say Rin was so enthralled in it tho lmao THEY SLEPT ON THE SAME FUTON HELLO?!!! So fucking cute and the ending scene was adorable too. “I want to talk to you, Rin” 😍 love how he recognised that Rin was nervous and tried to make her more comfortable by having her get in character. I love both of these knuckleheads so much and can’t wait for next episode |

In case anyone's wondering about "Antonio and Maria":  |
 |
| Wow that was unexpected. We're literally only HALFWAY through the first season of a romcom... one that has been pretty episodic in nature... and we've got a CONFESSION this early on. Very rare, very unexpected W. I gotta hand it to them. For a relatively average slice-of-life, I've become very impressed. It's even more admirable that they were able to "resolve" their bashfulness by the end of the episode... that is, typically, characters will spend multiple episodes thereafter being awkward and getting into misunderstandings. But this story was quite mature to allow the characters overcome their bashfulness by the end and not avoid each other. Really conveys that a relationship doesn't just have to be romantic; these two spend time with each other, of course due to their respective crushes, but also simply because they enjoy each other's company. Them departing in the hallway at the end just felt so wholistic and complete. Great sense of closure. I was worried after her spontaneous confession, the pair would undergo an arc of them drifting apart. But again—super mature of this story to show that both characters aren't afraid to still be casual with each other after an embarrassing little moment. I feel like romantic anime post 2020 are different than the 2000s and 2010s. The same bland tired overused tropes are dying out and premises are becoming a bit more distinctive and creative. There's so much 2020 anime that are just such a vibe. |

| What do you mean I have to wait A WHOLE WEEK for the next episode? Man, this show is gonna give me diabetes and I love it |
| Bro, my heart is completely melted 😭😭. GOATED SHOW |
 |
Pretty good episode that had Rin and Eiji going on their first date which turned out to be a success even if Eiji fell asleep a couple of times. Next time Rin wants to go to a neko or cat cafe, and I can only imagine the cuteness with her and all the cats around. |
| Eiji and Nanakura got a lot closer today, I love the usual goofiness but this one was a feast for the romance. I do wish we could have gotten to see Nanakura act in her play but the school festival bit was a lot of fun, the bathroom trip was too cute with Nanakura being unable to become Cool-chan and her “don’t be afraid” lines in english. And because Nanakura requested a date after her play, Eiji went and did her one better with a Kyoto trip, in the fall even so we got some great fall visuals to go with the beautiful scenery, over here making me wish it was fall already lol, I love August and September but they don’t beat October for me. And I knew the play they went to see looked familiar, thanks to another poster here it was West Side Story, a classic indeed, Eiji picked a good one for Nanakura. And the over night stay was a fantastic end to the trip, Nanakura went and said the words that got them both flustered when they saw each other at school, which is definitely new for Eiji who’s usually goofing, but trying to get Nanakura to talk in character was a good way to help them relax, I need these two to become their usual silly selves again even if they’re getting closer lol. |
| So sweet so cute ahh... Finally progress well done Rin & Eiji. Rin mustered courage to ask for a date and Eiji went above and beyond for the date with Musical+ overnight Kyoto trip. Eiji got his reward with Rins "almost" confession. Both of them sleeping together side by side was so wholesome. Uh. Now Eiji has seen the light, he is acting more bold now. He realised he indeed won in life. Not officially but looks like they are pseudo dating now. Now it will get more interesting to see them. Best episode peak romance. |

| The way Eiji and Rin have me smiling like an idiot week after week, causing me diabetes with such a high level of sweetness, is incredible. Undoubtedly, this was the best episode so far, not only because of the sweet and adorable moments they had on their date but also because of Rin's small confession, even though it won't be the official one. And besides, Eiji seems more nervous around Rin. IF THEY DON'T BECOME A COUPLE, I'LL SHOOT MYSELF. |
 |
| Some crazy development this week! They' both seem to know where this is going and are okay taking their time with it. So sweet. |
| I think what makes this show so great is the fact that it trims out all the fat and gets straight to the diabetes, no real side plots or characters, just one on one back to back insulin overload moments with no breaks :D |
| the love bomb has been dropped .Matter of time now ... |
| My honest reaction to both of them. In case anyone wondering.  |
 |
| I didnt expect for there to be any progress all of a sudden. Now they cant really deny being into eachother. Finally a more enjoyable episode than the usual setup |
| OMG was the animation a complete disaster with this episode. Plus they threw in just about every romcom cliche, except the beach epsiode. If I wasn't enthralled with Hayami-san's performance, I'd be dropping this series with this episode. |
