| There's Mei's mother, Chika again. Technically, I think she is the most complex character in the show and we got somewhat of a characte study on her. Feels like some recurring themes were explored but the emotions unfolded again. It's interesting they threw her in a batting cage for that. |

| Jesus, a confession was NOT on my bingo board, that's for sure. I was expecting it, but wow that came out of nowhere. Ya love to see it though. Wonder what she'll say to his whole "story" thing... |

| Takae attending Mai and Renji's wedding would've been such a sweet (actual) final sendoff for her. It being set a whole year later is absolutely cruel. How Keisuke reacts to Moriya's affection for him managing to stay strong even after she learns about the big possession mess will be interesting to see. He might not be ready to lose Takae again but she seemed to understand what it means to support a widower. |
Keisuke better not screw this up. He practically has an open lane to a new love that's welcoming him with open arms. However, his response can potentially weird her out and probably drive her away.  Oh yeah... BTW  Chika playing baseball was totally unexpected.  I never knew I'd see something so random. |

| What does he hope for? That she will refuse him, deciding that he has completely gone crazy because of longing for his dead wife? |

phantomfandom said: Can someone change this anime genre from Comedy+Romance to Drama+Supernatural? Also, I think this should be eligible for "Adult Cast" too, but your mileage may vary. I've been saying this for quite some time now, but the arbiters of labeling and the god of tags have tuned bland ear to our pleas. |

| They showed how Takae died in the accident... Oh God... That was very sad. Seems like time was moving very fast for her after she passed away. Time moving at a fast pace while you're dead just seems like nightmare fuel to me. Imagine being bound to a location as a spirit but you can't do anything except watch as time marches on... At least until she met Marika on the same road and saved her from meeting the same fate as her. So, Takae now knows about the possession too huh? At least that eliminates the hardship that'd come from being told about it by your own family. Chika took the news about the possession quite lightly. Keisuke's being upfront about it probably avoided some potential drama. And Takae feeling very guilty probably helped too. Though I imagine she'd probably change her mind about it eventually. I'm glad Keisuke at least realizes that he's being selfish by keeping Takae bound to this world. I wonder how he will move on... Mai got engaged and she's learning how to cook from her mom. If Takae hadn't died, she probably would've already learned how to cook. But she's lucky that her mom's ghost taught her that after possessing a little girl. I wonder how she'd take the possession news. She seemed to be the most sensitive about this stuff based on past episodes. Did not expect Moriya to confess to Keisuke in this episode wow. That's some bravery right there. But that damn Keisuke has to spill the beans... Imagine a girl finally manages to confess to you after gathering a lot of courage but then you tell her a weird story about your dead wife coming back to life. If this was real life, they'd probably be creeped out and stay away from you forever. But since this is anime, I don't expect that to happen lol. |
| I noticed that while Takae seems to like spending time with her daughter I think she's also now feeling guilty about possessing Marika's body. On a related note, Keisuke is spending his time working late and even on the weekends, presumably because he doesn't to confront his wife as he's having a hard time letting go since he found out through Chika that Takae doesn't like possessing Marika's body. I'm not sure how Moriya will react to Keisuke's story but I don't think he's ready to start a relationship with her, maybe she will give him time if she doesn't get weirded out first. |
| Whew this was a roller coaster. We are definitely going into the heartbreak part of the story and I’m not ready for how hurt I’ll be at the end of this. So Takae latched onto Marika when saving her from an accident omg, so that explains the possession angle. I think that’s way cooler than the usual reincarnation and makes for a way more emotional story when Takae inevitably has to let go Chika and Keisuke night out was sweet, I didn’t take Chika for being a batting cage person but I guess that would’ve been one of the few places she could take her anger out safely when she was younger. It’s good they cleared the air and there’s no more secrets or misunderstandings. It’s getting to the point where everyone knows what needs to happen, but no one wants it to happen Mai getting married aww, bittersweet as hell because I don’t think Takae will make it. That’s next year and too much of Marika’s life to be taking up. I think Takae knows that too which is why she gave that look when Mai said next April :/ Moriya confession?!? Did not see that coming. The look on her face when Keisuke started speaking about Takae in the present sense tho lmao. This is good ultimately though because now everyone will be in on the secret except renji and Marika friends. |

| So random felt like a filler episode. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| We have a confession from Moriya. a win episode and he'll tell her about Marika's condition. It's only natural to expect that Moriya and Takae will have a heart-to-heart conversation, Moriya would feel a bit guilty, but Takae will support her. |

| Finally the egotist Nijima is coming to accept that his wife is an evil spirit that couldn't leave the world because he is so pathetic and untrustworthy. It only took him 9 episodes, he would make a good soccer player over at Blue Lock seeing how big of an egotist this dude is where he never considered Marika's true feelings, it was only about him. |
| This part really got me thinking about all the people who pass away suddenly, leaving behind unresolved matters. With Takae, they depicted how, for her, those 10 long years since she passed felt like just an instant due to her lack of a physical form. As one of the so-called wandering souls, I can’t even imagine the agony of being a silent observer, unable to be seen, heard, or felt. At least she managed to save Marika before the car could hit her. Mai is moving forward with her life and will soon get married, but it’s heartbreaking to think that Takae might not be present at her wedding. Deep down, though, I feel like Mai has already come to terms with the fact that her mother will leave again at some point. Keisuke finally admitted that clinging to Takae’s memory had caused him harm, and now that he’s been able to speak to her through Marika, it’s even harder for him to let her go. But he knows that holding on is selfish, especially for Chika and Marika’s sake. What really gets me is that Keisuke isn’t just going to lose his wife again; with Mai leaving the nest soon, he’ll be left all alone. And he doesn’t even know about the wedding yet. As for Moriya’s confession, it might offer Keisuke a chance to find companionship again, but honestly, I doubt it’ll go beyond friendship. Still, it’s nice to think he might not end up entirely alone. |
