Every week is peak after peak and packed with wholesome moments which have me cheesing and also laughing at times. After the last episode (which i thought was the golden ep) Ichikawa has the responsibility of having to do the farewell speech as they are moving onto Year 3 (next ep clue)
His first time attempting to do the speech he was overcome with anxiety and spoke very quietly which luckily was just a practice speech.
Yamada wanted to help him boost his confidence and self esteem to help him with the speech, they have a wholesome moment about wanting to see eachother in action, then suddenly they get interrupted by blond hair-kun being confessed by a fellow girl classmate. Blonde hair-kun rejects and confesses his feelings for another classmate happing to be Yamada. Overhearing all of this, Ichikawa then wants to do the speech in order to show his confidence to Yamada. He goes get a fresh haircut, which thank god he did he needed one. He practices the speech at home until the upcoming farewell ceremony. He has a moment with Yamada and her friends, Ichikawa even thinking to himself he would’ve never imagined them hanging out with each other until 6 months ago. Goes to show his character development with the girls and how they trust him with simple things.
The ceremony finally comes, he forgot his speech paper he’s been practicing all this time. He has hospital sis bring him it and turns out he doesn’t need it because his older imaginary self always comes in clutch moments. He gives out the speech and it was wholesome what else can i say.
Final scene of the episode is after Ichikawa gives the speech he faints and as a result lands him in the hospital bed. Yamada comes and talks to him and suddenly get interrupted once again by Blonde hair-kun. He said pretty much nothing to Ichikawa only to get close to Yamada and then asks to talk to Yamada for minute. They talk and he though he saw a opening and went for it. Yamada turned him down while breaking down. Ichikawa not even 15 feet aeay he can hear all of this and hear Yamada crying when she talks about who she likes. Ichikawa being that man realized he does the same thing for her, meaning he understands how she feels. Ichikawa in that moment also broke down realizing Yamada has the same feeling as Ichikawa kun which the delivery has me shocked. but it was very expected lol. 10/10 once again peak anime

Not sure what everyone else thinks when watching this. But does it not seem like this show is able to bring so much emotion with similar sub-plots to other romance anime, every episode just feels so much more emotionally impactful and immersive than its counterparts. Not a rip on other romance anime by any means, but this show continues to stun me with every episode just when I think it’s about to get cliche. Furthermore, I thought this episode makes this show stand even farther apart from many shows, a challenging presentation in front of the school only to get encouraged by Yamada, completely original, don’t think any other show has an episode like this. Anyways, I digress, main gist is that this show is a fucking slap and a half. This show is a banger.

- never thought Ishikawa would actually accept something as hard as taking a speech but he wanted to impress Anna, and the teacher really wanted his help

- that punk hairstyle in the classroom, would be funny to see him using it actually
- ofc,his own words about "6 months ago, it would be unthinkable that the girls would be so friendly with him" ... and oh no, they will possibly lose someone from the group to other classes next year, that would be sad, they are a nice group

- wow Ichikawa actually nailed the speech, even without the paper, that was great
(i remember one time i took some cheat paper with me to a test but ended up not using it cause, while making it, i memorised the stuff lmao)

- mom and sister also were proud of him, sister even got to see the real speech, nice

- multiple confessions this time around, 1st a random girl to the blonde senpai, then the blonde senpai to Anna (even giving her the button) and lastly, Anna to Ishikawa, intense episode huh

I laughed so hard I snorted my coffee out of my nose when he realizes he's forgotten the speech and has his hairdresser matrix with him instead.

I love how he nailed the speech anyway and his sister and friends were all there to see it. So much cuteness and wholesomeness in this story. So well done too.

Womanizer senpai set up the confession scene well.

The character most touched by Ichikawa's speech must be Nanjou. I liked how they chose to cut to him when Ichikawa said "Don't give up trying new things. Learn to love yourself. Treasure all that you have come to know." with how that advice is a perfect fit for his situation. With how Nanjou is revealed to have been forced to quit pursuing his dream and how his behaviour in the series suggests how that must be making him feel there's no doubt in my mind he really meant it when he told Ichikawa he liked his speech.

I don’t like the change they did with the third year, in the manga he wasn’t that much of an antagonist towards Ichikawa and he took his rejection in stride when Yamada told him that she had feelings for someone else. I don’t know why they had the add him lying about Ichikawa giving him her contact info since he had kind of a small relationship with Ichikawa before, but other than that part it was a pretty good episode.

Fucking finally! It was being about damn time for MC to realize the obvious. Now let's pray next episode features a proper confession or something.
And of course they had to make Haruya look "scummy" until the last second, huh? What a way to ruin a semi-redemption moment smh.

Anyways, 3/5 episode with Ichikawa's speech being the highlight.

Ahhhh Yamada said it! Kyotaro gets hit the ! I'm glad I waited till Friday to watch this, cause I want that next episode right away. Also Yamada with a bright red face was pretty cute.

Looking forward to seeing how Kyotaro handles what Yamada said.

As an introvert myself, going out from comfort zone is a something that really hard to do. But Ichikawa can did it, he even can improvised on the graduation speech. Power of love really can change anyone LOL

Ichikawa being a top scorer and chosen by their homeroom teacher to give a farewell speech, everyone is egging him on, though he'd not want to lose face in public.

And he...was eventually chosen to do the speech...but literally died out in the public eye for the rehearsal speech. Yamada giving him voice lessons as exchange for his willingness to support her at work, and in the same vein, overhearing the confession from Mita to Haruya. That basically gave him his strength to prove to both him and Yamada that he is the only person rightful to stand alongside her. So, an overhaul in his social ethics like his new haircut, and that immediately catches Yamada's clique's attention, Serina the most particular on his hair style. Even as the prospect of class changing is real that puts fears in everyone's hearts of getting split up, Ichikawa has to forget his farewell script, which is left at home. To Yamada, her giving the Shiba Inu to Ichikawa for confidence, all he hopes is that the script can be given to him on time.

But alas, Ichikawa's just given the boot to give the speech, even as his sister only barely made it. And in the face of the student body, Ichikawa decides to wing the entire farewell speech, albeit one half from the script, and the other half of ad-libbing himself, which is quite the achievement, only to faint thereafter. As expected, Senpai Pick-Up Artist Haruya comes to see Yamada, and eventually confesses to her, like he should. But it's clearly obvious that Yamada has only her heart for Ichikawa...and their feelings, albeit known for one another, burst in different directions.

Oh well, Yamada's confession is beet red now.

It gave a really deep message about self-love, confidence and self-esteem, being all of these as a child but losing these characteristics over the years due to life's traumas, doesn't mean you really lost it, it's possible to recover! I felt identified

The greatest anime episode I've ever seen in my life. The way the hero's character and internal discussions are developed has truly changed me. I don't think I'll ever see an episode better than it. A great episode is a masterpiece. I don't think I'll ever see an episode greater than it.

Literal god. Thanks for doing something I've wanted for years. THIS is the character growth

I knew about the anime from getting YT clips, but they were so misleading and out of context Kyoutarou just sounded like an edgy loner(that he was at first), but daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn he is so relatable and cool as a character. Soulfully written, I applaud.

Absolutely peak episode. More than Kyoutarou's off the cuff speech. More than Yamada outright rejecting Haruya and admitting she likes Kyoutarou. Watching Imaginary Kyoutarou affirming the trust in himself and love for himself Kyoutarou had been lacking up to this point was fantastic, and hearing "The one who likes you most of all... is ME!" over that piano gave me shivers.
