Nice, that cafe serving some delicious food for Reiko and Oguma. Plus, I like how this episode connects them more as friends and Reiko being confident about her tastes.

Those cafe owners seems like friendly people too. It's always nice to meet more characters in this show.

Flo-san is still winning this time but Kurodine-chan was a tough opponent, 88 to 93 very close! At least she won the 150 funny expressions book which is nice. Wonderful episode.

shii-chan is always just way too cute T^T... was interesting that her dad was american but that mother was even more interesting, that restaurant looked really cool too. reiko and koguma's relationship is so cute and wholesome though, always going around together in their cubs. im kinda jealous tbh, would be cool to have a friend to go around different places with and do stuff like that.

also reiko wanna buy some guns lol

That place was kinda cute tho it's clear the girls made a impression on Shii-chan if she is bringing them home.
It was also funny how she tried to lure them away before her mother got home.

And Reiko looking at guns was nice, it's pretty clear where her interests are.

Another wonderful and sweet episode. It's cold here already and Koguma and Reiko are having some coffee talks. Their new friend Shii is still pretty shy but really adorable in nature.
One sip of coffee and their world lightened up that was pretty sweet. Shii's father is a nice guy as well. Apparently, the whole cafe is a really nice place to chill out.

I love their relationship so much. Reiko and Koguma are so sweet. Reiko looking at guns and Koguma telling her why they are here in the first place. Koguma keeps Reiko in check. Those handlebar covers are pretty handy. LOL. Money is always a big constraint for Koguma, so that's an affordable choice.

Coffee or barley on a cold, brzzzz winter day, and both has to suppress the hotness for coffee. And Shii-chan's café place proposition might just be the best.

Ohh, so Shii-chan is using an Alex Moulton bike, that's another historical heritage of marketing material right there, more or less her cafe aesthetic which transcends American and British culture and her dad with the full American-ish facial beard look. Totally a biker café feel for some free coffee for Reiko and Koguma. I genuinely love the father-daughter banter, and it was certainly a nice and calm experience.

Looking for winter wear, and Reiko's looking at some old school guns, while Koguma bought a mess tin. The shopping trip definitely has the Yuru Camp feel to it. Affixing handlebar covers to their Cubs though, it does not look impressive, but once you try it, you can't stop haggling at it, which Koguma brought us another smiling smirk, HEH.

Shii-chan's mother being British with a fascination for all things American, her father being American who's done with the mundane city life, and with the adorable Shii-chan who desires all things Italian, this family's cross-culture is unique for both Cub girls to see (and the audience too).

With a warm cup of coffee and handlebar covers, this episode is charming.

usually tend to not like the "timid small cutesy" character a lot but i can't help but love shii. her cafe is also really cool, very interested to see how she'll get her cub but it looks like her mom will play a big part into it?

also, is it just me or is koguma quieter? last part was nice tho, with her smiling bc she bought a handler cover. is it really that necessary ? i mean im in a tropical country so i cant say anything about a cold weather but does most people get gloves at that time?

What a multinational cafe!!! The French cafe name, German bread, English sandwiches, American diner interior, and Shii's Italian coffee. Well, at least, Koguma and Reiko got a new place to hang out with delicious food and coffee.

The color seems to change when Koguma is happy or when there are good things happen to her.

Shii has quite the familly alright, their tastes are so different. Also I was wondering how Shii's so tiny with a father that big, so it was her mom eh. She's tiny and pretty. It was fun watching Koguma and Reiko in Shii's place.

Reiko seems to be acquainted with Shii's family. Unless I'm insane, the previous episode made it seem like she and Shii had never interacted before.

The way she allowed for the possibility of going to the cafe, even if it wasn't practical, was a really sweet way to end the episode. Perhaps the first time she wanted to do something that didn't only serve her needs?

Shii really stole the show this week. She's such an angel. Her family run cafe was a comfy place, despite the crazy theming. I found it a bit odd that Shii was embarrassed to show her mother. Was she ashamed that she wasn't Japanese? Or because she seems somewhat flamboyant?

Speaking of, is Shii even Japanese at all? She has a white mother and I don't think her father is Japanese either. I never would have guessed she wasn't Japanese herself.

Nice color shift when Koguma drank the coffee. That and the limited use of music to show how she's feeling has been a nice artistic decision.

I think the only thing I'm disappointed in is the deterioration of Koguma's character. She went from a lonely, cute girl that I sympathized with to a standoffish girl with almost sociopathic tendencies. She never really seems to care about other people, even Reiko. I was worried she might decline Shii's offer, I'm glad she didn't. And at least she acknowledged that going to that cafe isn't a bad idea.

I like how they're openly spoofing the mix-and-match pseudo-Europe trope where stuff like France and Germany are one and the same fairyland.

Still, I can not accommodate Shii's dislike of RYE BREAD. What is wrong with you, Shii.

Third, I need a trangia setup too. Or something like that. Summer vacation is coming up, after all, and it's going to be a local one.

It's also interesting how Koguma's turning out to be a bit of a jerk. Hope that develops into some laughs.

I have to love the "mother-daughter" dynamic that Koguma and Reiko had while browsing in the store, where Reiko couldn't help but get distracted by the guns on display. I can easily relate to Reiko here.

Once again, we get to see Shii once more and Koguma and Reiko took up on Shii's offer to visit her cafe. The cafe itself was a complete mix of different cultures inspired from France, Germany, Italy, USA and the UK, but at the same time, it fits in so well. Even Shii's mother turns up in a Chevrolet pick-up while looking like someone who'll fit in a quaint British village made me laugh, too! =P

Once again, it was a real treat to see the colours of the show brighten up when Koguma was happy and it happened multiple times. Her monologue at the end about wanting to indulge herself every now and then was a nice touch as well.

I can understand why a few users here aren't impressed with Koguma recently, but I hope they weren't expecting her to become upbeat and mellow super easily. Honestly, I like Koguma the way she is right now, as she's willing to let herself indulge in fun and pleasure here and there, while also being focused on improving her riding experience in preparation for Winter. Proof of this was how she won Reiko over with the addition of the handlebar covers. Sometimes practicality matters more than looks, right? =)

Preparing for the colder seasons, is always a freaking pain. As pretty these seasons can be, I hate them the most. Those handlebar guards look a bit silly though.

Reiko be into guns eh? Not bad! I do love how Koguma was the mother figure in the shop and dragging Reiko away from anything that distracts her while shopping, but instead she got herself something that she did not plan to get.

The color changes man, every time they got brighter it just makes me feel warmer inside. This show really captures Koguma's feelings so well into the color palette.

Was nice to have another episode with more Shii-chan. She's so adorable and I love that her parents own a western styled cafe. Was nice to see Europe being represented quite a bit here, next to America with the yellow pick-up truck and Shii-chan's mum who gets out that just screams "foreigner" haha. The way that Shii-chan didn't want Reiko and Koguma to see her mum makes me believe she's embarrassed of her appearance or something?

Not gonna lie, that would be a place worth visiting if it is anything like the show represents it to be.

Shii's place and family introduction. A lovely transnational cafe to stop by a riding girls like both of them, surely a wholesome view to be get it. A father who loves the german much, an american-loving mother, and a tiny sliver of italy. Reiko obviously hit some good words there, ngl.

That's the place where they've gonna visit much, as their cafe racer. The respond of Koguma always give me a chill. She was liking the place so much. Imma kinda curious how its bringing the relationship of the three of them closer, as its already gotten more good than before. But, well, lets stick first to the Koguma and Reiko effort preparing their cubs ready for the next winter. Handlebars cover, first check. Its not over yet. So, what else they've got next?

This episode was a lot better then the last though I must say the protagonist is getting on my nerves a bit with the way she talks. She supposed to be coming out of here she'll but she still speaks in that ear grading monotone voice. It almost sounds robotic in some scenes. I like the show a lot but good lord

What a family, a German loving dad, an American loving mother and an Italian loving daughter lmao. Another fantastic and heartwarming wholesome episode. I say it every episode and I'll probably say it again next week but whatever, it's just really awesome to see Koguma and Reiko become closer and closer.

Beurre actually looks really nice and comfy even with all the multinational themes, plus those bread on display looks very delicious. When Koguma drank the coffee and then the color popped and the instrumental of the OP played... man, serotonin just overflowed within me, that was amazing. Our biker girls now have their biker hangout cafe.

Shii is so smol, she's so cute and her father really called the Italians clowns lmao. Those handlebar covers really do be looking dorky but hey, it looks really comfortable, comfort > style. Really looking forward to the next episode!

This episode in a show about Japanese motorcycles is the multicultural advertisement we need, it almost makes one forget all the covid rules violations of sharing a drink with one's pal smh my head.

On the more serious side, the more Koguma opens up to the world and the more she smiles, the better this show gets. I mean, this show does know how to sell a good smile better than it sells the Cubs themselves.

I wonder if Shii-chan will be get herself a cub in the future. Would love to see the trio going on adventures.

Do they not realized that the two had indirect kisses twice already? Or just don't care at all. lol
