Great episode! I didn't expect Rin to make so much progress with Kyouya so quick. I did feel kinda sad for her coworker (I remember finding him cute the first time they showed him).

Itsuomi undressing in front of Yuki was a funny moment, but I find it hard to believe he wouldn't know she'd be so flustered; I half expected her to faint! XD

Oushi's storyline is still depression central, I hope he gets to take some steps forward soon, the poor guy.

Everything was so cute and wholesome, still I'm sad for Oshi, he is a good guy he deserves someone that loves him. Sill Itsuomi and Yuki are meant to be

Enjoying this a lot! Though I can not make my mind up whether to feel sorry for Oushi or annoyed, so on the fence about him. Depends on his action in the future I guess, though in all fairness his actions are quite human.

Oshi got nothing coming his way, the audacity to call her now that he knows she's truly never gonna be his girl.

Hopefully Oushi will give up towards the end of the season. Always pain to watch'em suffer.

I started to find myself thinking that it surprises me when relationships in this anime start without drama or unrequited crush. Also, I’ve been wanting to ask for a long time. Will Yuki and Rin become sisters in law in the future if their boyfriends and potential husbands are cousins?

This episode felt so short. Like 2 minutes. And I loved every second of it (almost. Except for Oshi acting immature again which might be continued in the next episode but I don't want to think about it right now).

This was so wholesome and beautiful. Of course I love our main couple but I'm so happy and hyped that my personal ship is finally sailing. Rin x Kyoya FTW <3. At first I was worreid because of Rin's colleague but it actually helped them. They are probably my favorite supporting character pairing of all time. But poor Rin hurting herself in the process. I understand because it's nerve-wrecking to confess to your crush. But I'm so happy Kyoya likes her too.

It was really nice to see all of them putting in effort to learn sign language. And I have to say that I love Yuki's and Rin's friendship.

Itsu and Yuki are always so cute together. It makes me feel warm and cozy. She also looked really cute in his sweater. I hope she can find a job to save money and travel with Itsu.

This anime is such a gem and the vibes are unbeatable. I'm so glad I came across this anime ♥ (only 3 episodes left TT___TT)

@RobertBobert There are enough unrequited crushes in real life, so we don't need that. I've never been so happy about a non-main ship sailing :)

This episode gives a high school vibe with the sign language camp outing. Plus the tent reminds one of the Laid-Back Camp aka Yuru Camp anime. Wholesome and so relaxing.

Glad to see Kyouya and Rin finally 'confessed' their fondness of each other. Funny scene there too. Sorry to see Oushi has to hear that he may have lose out in asking Yuki out but then he had so many chances in the past and his attitude not endearing him to Yuki.

Why was Kyouya talking as if he were 40 and divorced? "At my age, this kind of things..." Dude, you can't even handle seeing MCs acting lovey-dovey. Come on.

That aside, I'm particularly interested in next episode since the show will finally focus on the only character worth exploring.

Do you think Itusomi should answer Oushi's call? It's definitely for him, since there's no point calling Yuki.
@Dan_ALves it was a video call, he can communicate with Yuuki through signs lol and yeah, would be interesting if he picked the call, similar to how he sent him off at the train station before


----

another outing with the 4 friends
i like how some of the signs are the kanji , like rock and river lol
we can see how happy Yuki is that her friends are learning the sign language with her
the 2nd pair is official now, nice
the time was going great, but Rin had to get hurt and go back home, meh
Yuki is at Itsuomi's house again, look at how flustered she was when he took off his shirt lmao
lastly, Oushi and his sister(?) talking about Yuki, and he decided to call her, but bad timing lol i wonder if Itsuomi will pick the phone and tell him to shut up, or if he will just ignore it

Oh, it was a video call? I didn´t noticed. In that case, I don´t think Itsuomi should pick up the phone, as much as he might want to. But I´m really eager to see how the conversation goes, if he ends up picking up the phone.

The sign language training boot camp in full preparation, Yuki and Rin are still preparing for theirs with the money through their part-time jobs, and Rin does have an interest with Tsujimura, though Kyouya is her main priority. Yuki flustered for a moment sitting beside Itsuomi who's in the driver's seat, and playing a Wish Word Chain between the 4, and his wish for both himself and Yuki to travel abroad, that's a wish right there. What fun learning sign language and having a picnic at the same time, Itsuomi's quite the thriller, and boyfriend material as well in front of both Rin and Kyouya, who find them quite bold. And a call from Tsujimura, Rin has no chance but to make it clear that she has eyes for him and him only. It's pretty much a date between both the main and supporting couple, and it's sweet as heck.

Yuki waiting on Madoka to give her an update on her job, Itsuomi helps her calm her nervousness down, and like before, he gives her a signal when he's about to kiss her, which he did. Too bad that Rin broke her angle on the way back, and they have to send their things packing, because Kyouya felt the same being jealous about Rin, which she casually broke all hell loose twisting her ankle. Not to worry, they can always have another time together, even in sickness and health. Both Itsuomi and Yuki together at the former's place, and she's still uncomfortable seeing him undress, though she saw his sign language notebook with all the notes.

With Mio sighting Yuki and Itsuomi together, it's pain to see her own brother be left in the lurch...so what's he to do?

Heh Yuki and Rin afraid of the little frog is cute. I mean frogs are cute but I can kinda get it someone would be afraid of them jumping on them.

Kyouka and Rin actually getting together is nice development. Good for them. Poor Rin-chan slipping up on those river rocks but hey it kinda plays in her favour.

Lol Itsuomi just starting to strip. Not sure if he does this kind of stuff on purpose or if he just became dense after all his traveling where he doesnt have any boundaries.

I feel kinda bad for Oushi but holy fuck trying to video call Yuki probably to interrogate her in sign lol

Why every couple is so damn adorable, Yuki and Rinchan with their own pairing. I like how they don't beat around the bush, no unnecessary drama. Straight up to the romance. But oushi video calling will cause something to happen in next episode maybe

A says something-> B gets red->Process repeats itself 

Really though, A could be either of the guy, the main one or his friend who tries to sound apathetic about dating girls, and similarly, B could be either of the girls, Yuki or her friend. 

Not a bad thing, but that's all there is to it lol. Also, that childhood friend still wants something?
