Mari defending Tsunagu was cool. The interviewer talking to Tsunagu should've been more respectful. Tsunagu kinda acted like an animal when he was alone with Mari. That lick looked like him showing affection.

Looks like a school festival coming up and they've started preparing, right after the Summer break. This anime just keeps on bringing out the fun.

Taught the interview guy would do something nasty but looks like it wasn't that bad despite some of the questions he asked.
And it seems others are catching on between the relationship of Asaka and Hidaka.
Hopefully they will be accepting of the two seeing that there is some negative opinions about the others.
So for the anime has been pretty relaxing but you never know.

Gotta start by appreciating the art style for this anime once more, like I noticed it a lot this episode particularly but man its so pretty. Talking about this episode honestly quite a lot happened. For one Mari and Kisara are getting closer which was what I wanted (And was half expecting) to happen when she first got introduced. It would be nice if Kisara also went to school with them so they could hang out more.

On top of all this its really sweet to see how far Mari and Tsunagu have come with their relationship, especially with how trusting Mari is with Tsunagu now. I mean he jump out a window carrying her and she didn't even slightly question it I love how she trusted him without question. Really a show of devotion.

As for the new guy tryna create drama, well I mean some people just need to leave well enough alone. Like man just leave them alone they ain't doing anything wrong bro

I get that this is a romance but if they are playing up the difference races
I would think that the school would be observing Tsunagu more than we have seen.

And still curious about Tsunagu's parents I'm sure they had to go through some shit.

First half of this ep is a head scratcher because why are we wasting time wondering if Hidaka really likes Mari when they’ve gone to third base on multiple occasions, confessed, gone on dates etc.? Seemed like a nothing burger to set up the reporter dude stalking them lol. You know damn well that boy loves you, girl!

Oh we’re getting messy with this love triangle 😭 why are you blushing and flirting with Yukihiro when you already have Hidaka, Mari? This is how you keep misunderstandings going! Yukihiro need to just gon head with Kisara and call it a day lol.

Need this stalker wannabe “journalist” gone immediately. Bro kept trying to bait Hidaka into saying negative shit about going to a human school when HE’S the only negative thing Rn. The rest of the class have fully accepted Hidaka and coming to his defense there at the end was sooo sweet!

But uh oh, more drama? Not them thinking Hidaka and Mari are already dating 😭 another cliffhanger damn it, wonder how they’ll address that.

@alpo42ab It does feel like it should be a prequel on its own, though the prequel manga is seemingly something further back in history, but in the same universe

I was expecting the drama with the school reporter guy to be much more series than it ended up being, though I suppose it could still end up spiraling in the next few episodes.

I really didn't think I'd like this anime much, and honestly, I started watching it almost as a joke. But as these later episodes have moved more and more away from gooner territory, I've started liking it more and more.

@deltahalo241 This is how I also feel.
The interview looked like an interesting thing was about to happen but just became a joke. I wish we could've delved more into his feelings, surroundings (especially his parents) but we keep focusing on Yukihiro and his one sided crush.

Yet again, a wonderful episode which didn't turn things into melodrama (yet). This anime is doing everything right. :3

@deltahalo241 I've noticed that there are a lot of instances in this show where things work out unexpectedly easily. That's not a bad thing, though, just a stylistic choice to keep things on the lighter side and let their romance be the main focus.

She seems to realize that much of his initial interest with her was due to the overwhelming compulsion of the pheremone thing—both because of the purely physical attraction and because he was interested in exploring this new phenomenon that he didn't believe was possible for him due to his mixed-race parents. It makes sense she'd feel uneasy about their relationship if she notices that he's learning to control that compulsion. It was inevitable that these ideas would need to be addressed eventually, but I can partially agree with your take—in the sense that it might have happened too early and abruptly, here.

Hidaka is such a sweet cutie patootie! I'm glad he told Mari exactly what she needed to hear <3 are they officially in a relationship now or?

Thank god they're not doing something cliche, like a romeo and juliet play lol its a cafe, but retro (which I haven't seen before!)

Kisara and Mari's friend date was cute too! I'm warming up to Kisara.

I was so worried that Mari and Hidaka were gonna get caught on the rooftop while she was on top of him

Newspaper guy is an ugly asshole

@ExpandCheese I personally miss the gooner aspect 😔

@cooldogmom That's fair, I feel like we get more character development when it's toned down though.

In a perfect world, there would be a good balance of both. U_U

With Summer vacation over, everyone is back in school, as Mari grows more conscious of her scent on Tsunagu, and Kisara coming to the human side to repay Mari for saving her the last episode, to compensate for her hairtie. Even Mari consulting Kisara on how would Tsunagu better see her as a girl, the love between a human and beastperson is just so out of reach that the regular human cannot discern how to see it from her view. But with the only way that he can interpret by literally just touching her, on top of the beastfolk having quite the popularity in the prep for the school festival that everyone is beginning to warm up to him. And that's great to see.

Mari and Yukihiro shopping for the class's resource prep, while the latter tries to keep his relationship platonic with her. But without Tsunagu around, the class literally weighing their dependence on him as he's taken for an interview with one of the reporters for the school paper, he sure is quite persistent for Mari to give chaase to Tsunagu, which he saved her on the way to avoid getting baited to answer against his will. And even better, is the class being very supportive of the beastperson himself, which in and of itself, is the whole deal of Tsunagu fitting right within the human world.

Uh oh, the romance drama is coming for the trio...and we're past the manga at this stage in time, so everything from here on, is uncharted territory.
