About time the year ended for this show, or at least their year. It was cute seeing the female cast together and somewhat celebrate their time together. Plus, it's also the Christmas season so the mood was in high spirits.

A very wholesome epsiode again.

Well the long expected kiss and at Xmas evening at that tho romance is going well.
But so seems to be the worries of Shiori's mother i am guessing it wont be long before the couple needs to meet the parents the way this is going.
The xmas party was also nice.

Christmas is here, yeee ... time for some quality family time, good food, some presents (sleepover parties with hidden fujoshi books ...) ... or impossible deadlines if youre an mangaka artist in Japan. Now, speaking of quality family time ...

Its been long overdue for our heroines parents to show up in full.

Man this been one of the best Saturdays of seasonals honestly. Yamada999, Bokuyaba and this have had us FEASTING. This was everything we’ve been asking for and the perfect way to get that first kiss and true confession. Now that they’re dating out of pure love and not just necessity I can’t wait to see how things develop.

Big obstacle this season is probably going to be Goshiki’s mother, starting next week. This is gonna be great.

Man those bags under their eyes lmao but they worked hard to finish it. Christmas is upon them and they celebrate it together while talking about Ichirou's past to embarrass him haha. A girls sleepover, nice. Ichirou asking Shiori out on a date.

Wow Ichirou going in for the marriage already. Ichirou and Shiori finally kissing each other and Shiori is happy with a marriage. They return both home with their faces covered in red, how cute lol. Looks like Chihiro knew what was going on from her expression. Wholesome episode.

Christmas dayto! Such a good one, they got that on the lips smooch in there too for maximum heartwarming output, and Ichiro came right out with it with the intention of getting married, I guess we’re well on our way now unless the mom becomes too big of an obstacle, and it’s not the first time in this spring season a strict mom has been a problem lol.

I also really enjoyed seeing Machi and Fumio get Christmas presents, it was brief but man, you can’t beat that pure joy from children on Christmas, especially when the kids are this cute. And Machi’s explanation for why she doesn’t believe in Santa was interesting lol, but I liked the follow up to it with Fumio being her Christmas present, that was really sweet.

Looks like we're family going to get some family drama/conflict/meeting next episode. Wish they would tone it down with how abashed they still are, though I guess anime is as anime does. I'm aware it's there first relationship, and there's a lot of uncertainties and unawares, but it's a little too much. I bet it's still the same with Tonikaku Kawaii S2, kind of getting over this sort of thing. Romance is something live action does a lot better.

Yeah I'm thinking Chihiro has yaoi books in that box lol. This relationship took a big step with a marriage proposal and kiss which was a little surprising (I mean surprising as I thought they're going a bit fast, at least for the marriage proposal).

Machi is so cute and entertaining to watch, she is mature for her age and a great wing-girl. Now Shiori's mother has reached out to her daughter probably to check up on her. Her mother appears to be cold so I'm doubting she'll accept the relationship (at least initially). Beyond that we have a hot springs episode next.

Ever since they became a couple, Goshiki just turns into an shoujo-otome more and more in each episode.
She is just becoming cuter and cuter by the minute, and this episode just takes it to another level with Goshiki taking almost all the offensive and just savoring each moment.

I can't help but be happy for her and kudos to Kuga for doing his best to reciprocate such affection.




Also,  this episode is LEWD
So lewd it just melts my heart

Her being a princess barely had any importance on the plot, it only adds more cringe and honestly, while their relationship is portrayed as cute, it's kinda irritating for me. Maybe because they indeed looked like they were only trying it out so far, but still, Goshiki with her gushing about romantic stuff is kinda... ehh, not cute.

It was great. Usually you wait seasons/years for that kiss, but here it happend in ep 8, like that. This anime will be perfect for beginners, plot is easy to understand and it's only 1 season for now.

Even on holidays, both Ichiro and Shiori are still working on their work, meeting deadlines.

Christmas is around the corner, but Ichiro has no idea if Shiori has any plans to return to her island, which she doesn't intend to. Moke and Sano comes back to celebrate with a party, and it's there that they also know that both Ichiro and Shiori are dating, and the former's life stories are shared to the latter, which is embarrassing for Ichiro, though they're all life stuff which piques her interest. but when it came to Shiori herself to share where she's from, it's a bit ambiguous because she's a princess first and foremost. Chihiro stays behind for a sleepover to try to get to know Shiori better, and she pours her secret to them both, which they get better with her.

D-Day comes, and even though Shiori gets a Christmas date with Ichiro, the pact is a liable that could end their relationship in jeopardy if it's not resolved. And with love, comes the intent of marriage from Ichiro, which this is the most that Ichiro has romantically been invested with her, and to seal it with kiss, it's a moment to remember.

Family drama is coming up for Shiori, and see what her mother has to say about her life on Earth so far.

Yeah they kind of did the full-course, first a date then the mutual agreement on NOT to annul the pact anymore and finally a kiss to cap things off. Happy for two.

Also I liked how they made it so obvious to everyone with the beet-red faces lol. Though good times don't stick for long, as it kind of felt with that troubling message from Shiori's mother.

And this is how LOVE WINS AGAIN ladies and gentlemen, now they are no longer "andantes" as we say in Chile, they are officially engaged and with marriage intentions. By the way, Shiori is the one who almost always takes the initiative, but I imagine that this is going to be the other way around when she has to introduce the Ichiro to her family and her mother makes a scandal for them if she were to. pass.
