| Kyoutarou and Anna are more conscious of each other than ever now. Priceless. Looks like Anna went to a karaoke party with her friends. The way Kyoutarou sneaks to see her is almost borderline stalker-like LOL. Again though, I think he's reacting naturally because of his personality. So much feelings flowing around this episode. It's human nature though. |
 |
| Well, yeah. I mean after whatever happened last episode, the indirect “confession” sorts of, both Ichikawa and Yamada would not want to see eye to eye for some time, or at least how it should’ve been, until Ichikawa followed Yamada to karaoke, just because he wasn’t quite sure about her accompanying so many male senpais… … though when those girls brought him inside the room… that was SOOOOO FUCKING AWAKWARD lmaoooooo. Though fun aside, Yamada clearing anything at this point won’t make a speck of difference lol. Her feelings are out in the open, putting a lid over them won’t make Ichikawa believe otherwise. By the way, thumbs up to Hara once again. She’s one of the, if not the best wingwoman in this series. I loved the double date, but Ichikawa should have seen his surroundings more than once before commenting over the cuteness of someone else’s girl lol. I mean it has its consequences. Yamada glaring over Ichikawa with jealousy would never get old lol. But at the end of the day, we’ll have to give to these boys for not freaking over… at the most important moments during the date. And hell yeah, he did give her something on white day... a hand bracelet or whatever they say, of all things lol. No pointless freaking over small stuff makes it just too good. From "Yamada is mine" to "It's so cute I could die", we saw it all in this episode. |

| When it comes to his cool guy persona, he draws the line at karaoke. Lmao. Ichikawa can't help but wonder about the true meaning behind Yamada's words of I have someone I like. Despite trying to calm his heart, thinking that Yamada might actually like him, he finds it difficult. However, when he hears that Yamada will be attending the basketball team's karaoke party, which also includes boys, he can't help but eavesdrop from the next room, even though he finds it creepy. Then, on another day, Honoka approaches Ichikawa while he's in the library. She invites him, Yamada, Kenta, and herself to go out together on March 14th, also known as White Day. Of course, no karaoke session would feel complete without them belting out the OP song, if only for a brief moment. It definitely helps with the flow of things. Now, onto the date – started with a rocky start. Poor Ichikawa, Yamada has been longing for a sweet compliment like that since their very first date. I really appreciate how Ichikawa quickly picks up on Yamada's jealousy over his compliment to Hara. He truly embodies one of the best romcom protagonists. His growth throughout the story has been great. I absolutely love how effortlessly enjoyable this story is to watch unfold. The way it subtly reveals things rather than telling them outright makes it so much fun to revisit. There's always something new to discover. Good job Ichikawa. |
 |
| In the last week's episode we kinda, sorta got a confession out of these two .. and in today's episode we got a date, a double date on top of that, a natural progression of things as one might expect .. But they really kept it for like the last second, didn't they. |
 |
| Amazing episode again, but the double date sequence felt funnier in the manga, somehow? Guess I just loved that part so much I had too high expectations? I don't know. Loved how they connected Ichikawa singing into the opening, from "oh god, this is awkward" to "that was so smart". They are getting closer and closer to each other, and slowly getting more honest with their feelings. Just can't stop smilling, this is so good. |
| LMAO best OP transition ever XD This dynamic of them kind of knowing that they like each other, but it not being official yet is amazing. It's not even annoying, at all. Love it. Oh, the season 1 ED! This episode had many hilarious moments (I especially loved "You're dead. You're dead. You're dead." and "Yamada's mine!"), but damn, the ending broke me again. Amazing episode. |
 |
| Amazing episode poor Ichikawa having to sing Karaoke in front of people. The scene at the end with Ichikawa and Yamada was just beautiful. |
| Hara in this episode wasn't a wingman, she was a whole plane. Jealous Yamada's faces. Kanzaki is trying but had just half success. The guy confessed, but still not dating. I feel a lot of progress was made. A t-shirt with just "Butter" written, is very japanese fashion. |
 |
| Kanzaki means well but man sometimes he says things unintentionally funny and clumsy, that part where Ichikawa told him to accept that Hara wanting to change herself is a good thing, was needed. But seriously I already thought those two were going out, was surprised as well to see them still not. That whole moment from when the ending song played to Ichikawa giving her the cake and bracelet was beautiful, I was really thinking this is the moment.. |
| Family gathering to see Kyotaro's grad speech lol. But it was a great speech though. The K club interaction was hillarious. Funny that the song that he sung was the OP. That actually led into it as well. In the wake of the confession their interactions are even cuter and sweeter. Going shopping with classmates must had been a novel exp for him though. Facing Anna's jealous side is like facing a demon lol. Still the outing sure proved to be a good exp for both Kyo and Anna. The white day return gift sure was fun and a delightful way to end the ep with. Things sure are heating up for them. |

| Ngl idk what the author done but this season is 1000 times better than the first. Like it’s wild how much more I’m enjoying this season not to mention the animation and opening song is incredible. I wasn’t crazy excited for this show to get a second season but this season has been so good. Also the transition from kyo singing into the opening was fire. |
Ayo bruh!! forget going thorugh confession and consent, my man went straight into declaration of possession. |
| Hara best wingman! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Another excellent episode. I did feel awkward various points throughout this jealousy-themed episode from both sides. Some points were in situations like Ichikawa following Yamada and the basketball club to karaoke only to hide in his own room after some girls brought him into the club's booked room, or him yelling to Kanzaki that Yamada's is his after Kanzaki's meeting with Yamada mirrored Ichikawa meeting Hara. But considering what Ichikawa and Yamada went through at the end of the previous episode, some awkward tension in the air is to be expected. But as the episode built up, the payoff was superb in those last few minutes with Ichikawa and Yamada as he stumbles and awkwardly delivers his White Day present to her but is still doing his best to present his feelings and affections, and conquer fears and self-confidence issues that he has had throughout the episode to get to where he did. The growth that this series has given him while still maintaining the essence of who Ichikawa is has been splendid. Even loved the awkward singing Ichikawa delivered of the opening before it properly transitioned into the actual opening lol, pretty fitting in general in an episode like this. And whilst Ichikawa and Yamada had their own minor jealousy issues, and nervy issues too with being awkward around each other at times, they still are developing and growing feelings for each other at their own pace and the moments near the end of the episode did their relationship so much justice as a viewer. The direction was excellent as a whole, and some moments just looked breathtakingly gorgeous with such great music in the background too to complement these scenes. It is an episode filled with stumbles, awkward nerves and imperfections but in a way, those all helped in delivering a pretty perfect build to a perfect last few minutes that was so fitting for these two. Their relationship is progressing in their own way and you could tell from their lone interactions with each other whether at the karaoke room, or outside together or even in scenes with them at the library together throughout the entire show. They have their own kind of relationship and they are willing to take their time in growing and enjoying it together at their own pace. Just another exceptional episode by the very end, especially because of how strong it ended and the way it really complimented these two characters and their journeys beautifully. |
| peak episode after peak episode. it just made me smile every week |
| Yamada's mine! I've been waiting to see this in the anime. That was amazing. Those Yamada death stares had me rolling. The misunderstanding was hilarious as well. Those senpais staring at Yamada playing with Ichikawa was hilarious too. Ichikawa giving her the present was beautiful, like way too much. She was about to eat the accessory though lol. More Hara san is great btw, she's adorable. |
 |
| That transition into the OP was great lol. |
| Parallel romances! After a quick trip to karaoke to "protect" Yamada from the basketball dudes, Ichikawa manages to land a double date with Yamada, Hara, and the buzz cut guy. During the date, my boy Ichikawa once again proves himself one of the strongest romcom MCs by speedrunning the bullshit misunderstanding stage of the plot. Imagine if that one comment about the cute hat had them fighting for the rest of the season. Anna's yandere mode is kind of cute though. Even more sweet moments abound in this episode with Yamada overhearing Ichikawa laying claim to her, and the whole bracelet scene. Ichikawa's also learning to stop comparing himself to others. Really, everything about this is great! |

| More like Jealousy episode than white day :D However love it nonetheless. That opening transition Those senpais seeing those two flirting Love the way when yamada gets jealous (yandere mode) “Yamada is mine” And of course that ED scene with yamada <3 (For some reason the muffin scene where he stops yamada eating it was slightly funnier in the manga) Another peak episode and cant wait for the next 6 eps |

| man that ending scene had me tearing up this is shaping up to be one of the best romance anime of all time |
| We're just going straight from the mini confession to "Yamada's mine!" lol. Ending is amazing as always. The Karaoke transition to the OP was crazy! |
| such a cute episode oh my god. they're basically dating now, we just need an actual proper confession and asking out scene. wonder if we'll get that next episode? |

| I'm reading the manga and yet this is so awesome...cannot say that about a lot of animes. 5* |

| Well after the amazing Valentine’s episode we all knew what was coming next. It’s time for Ichikawa to repay the favour, but as they say, what do you get for the person who has everything? Last week’s pseudo confession still has things awkward between Yamada and Kyo, neither knew how to initiate a conversation. Luckily Kyo’s newfound popularity helped get him invited into that karaoke room and broke the ice between he and Yamada lol. Also a cool way to lead into the OP! Every moment they’re together is full of so much tension and intimacy now, I love it. Just get together already though 😂 Kyo going white day shopping with Hara was fun, but he damn near died when Yamada showed up and overheard him saying cute. She does not mess around about her man lol. Few weeks ago when they were at her house and her friend pretended to be Kyo’s gf was the first example, now this. “Doesn’t matter if you’re fat or skinny” lmao kinda crazy statement but Kenta heart is in the right place. He wants Hara to feel comfortable to be herself, but he also has to accept if she wants to improve herself. Goes both ways. Good dude though, albeit a little slow lol Poor Yamada wishes Kyo was as expressive as that, but you know, he’s making progress so it’s ok. Speaking of which, awesome job with the white day gift. The muffin and necklace were perfect and that scene of him saying Yamada’s so cute he could die is going to get me thru the entire week. Awesome episode, they just keep improving week after week |

| This anime is so sweet that it might give me diabetes. |
| Simply amazing. It was a pretty fun episode throughout, but definitely a step in the right direction in terms of Kyoutarou and Anna's relationship. I had some concerns that the relationship progression might drag but it is showing no signs of that at all. The awkwardness and jealousy were fun to see, and Hara and Kanzaki got to shine this episode as well. Zero bad characters in this show. The icing on the cake, that last scene! It was the most fitting, most perfect gift for Yamada! I am so giddy, smiling a lot right now. |
| HUMANITY is saved as a species after this episode. The world is in perfect order too. This show single handledly erases 50 years of poorly handled romcoms with shitty misunderstandings and the like. Hallelujah! |

notindien said: Peak after peak my god, this show maybe can top Kaguya sama I love Kaguya sama and honestly i think this can top season 3. 6 more episodes to go. Next week cant come quick enough |
