Finally, the aquarium date. It's the same as manga. The end, I felt more about Chono's POV after knowing that Chinatsu lived together with Taiki. Great job to the production team for being true to the manga and not altering too much. Looking forward for the rest of upcoming episodes.

aquarium date complete
was wondering when Hina would find out Chinatsu and Taiki were housemate, could it be his name on the umbrella? or a message to the forgotten phone? no... she followed Chinatsu all the way home and saw her childhood friend kouhai open the door. it's only then she realizes her feelings.

These two cuties are absolutely made for each other. I almost thought Taiki was going to explode from happiness watching Chinatsu be so happy wandering the aquarium. When she was playing with the fishies; I think I felt a tooth rot out from the sweet-inducing fluff. And I totally agree with his friend, I'm pretty dang sure Chinatsu's got a big ol' crush on you too, Taiki; how could she not?! And I smell unrequited love coming from Hina, dang it, I was hoping this series wouldn't have that😖(especially because she is such a cutie, too).

With this revelation or should I say Hina finding out that Chinatsu is living with the Inomatas, I'm thinking that this will be her reason to be distracted on her own competition/tournament in rhythmic gymnastics.

I mean, I hope I'm wrong but ffs please don't do it :(

Taiki and Chinatsu "date" at the aquarium. Chinatsu dressing is so beautiful, every single frame is animated so beautifully.

NOO HINAAAAAA. Now we know that Hina is confirmed to have feelings for Taiki. A painful cliffhanger yet.

i still think hina is best girl , ber personality imo is so much better than chi even though i LOVE chi , let the childhood friend win for once for god's sake 😭

Her personality nice and all but a girl who hoops winning any day of the week. Being able to run a competitive game of 21 with your girl>>>

you do make a good point ...

@Zeekto I see it more like "she's normal, she fell in love like everyone does" as he was observing her in that sequence.
@KazanFurin could be!

Aw the little aquarium date was so cute <3 I wish Taiki would just tell Chii that he likes her without waiting until nationals. I get that's the whole plot but still. I think she likes him too tbh

Hina sadly likes Taiki too. She's cute but I think Chii is so much better.

She asked him out! As friends? Whatever, just enjoy it man!

Oh it's a date ... at an Aquarium. Lovely. And yes, it's a date. I don't care what excuse they come out with.

Please don't be awkward after this.

It seems like the third party is starting to emerge, it's the most dramatic part for me.

It's not a problem because this is important.

Lol Taiki got discovered. I laughed so hard at the end of the episode. I didn't expected Chinatsu being the reason. The series can be go from two ways now: Hina's crush on Taiki being played for drama or Taiki and Chinatsu somehow try to convice her they don't live together.

Chinatsu's date with Taiki adds to the bet, though the latter only realizes it when Kyo releases the truth, and Hina supports Taiki all she can, without realizing that she's also into him. For the moment being, the aquarium date is the only thing on his mind, and it's the day after the match too, so time is not of the essence while hopes remain high...to oversleep of all days for such an important first date. Taiki thinking that this is just their normal family outing, but who's to say of what Chinatsu is truly thinking, only that the former is truly thinking that as he is, he's just not good enough to stand alongside her as a couple.

The aquarium outing as a means for Chinatsu to apologize for her insensitivity the other night, it's nothing all that bad for Taiki since he also knows what's up with her worries and all...but for now, he's just housemate-zoned. Kyo turning his head to Taiki of the possibility if Chinatsu ever likes him back, and there's still Hina goofing around while the prefectural qualifiers are coming up, the first milestone to make into nationals.

Hina being on Taiki's good graces knowing what's best about him, and Chinatsu's lips about to pop the unspeakable question, it's the latter leaving her phone for the former to trace her steps to give it back...that causes the former to realize the worst of the extent between the two actually living together.

Welp, what now for Hina?

Taiki and Chinatsu aquarium date was really cute, they became closer together, nice development, though now Hina saw Chinatsu entering Taiki's home at night and she will imagine things, they need to tell her the truth :/
