Yano, you legend!!!

He might've been completely oblivious to his surroundings, but I'm still proud of Yano for not holding back with confessing to Yoshida and saying multiple times how he likes her with the rest of the class within earshot. Seeing how Yoshida came to terms with this was cute, but also pretty funny. The best part was when she started to imitate her friend Izumi while also tweaking her appearance with her hair being a bit more wavy and also adjusting her skirt length to showcase her legs more.

In the end, the two of them went to their favourite spot on the stairs leading to the roof, where not only Yano fully stood by his confession in a romantic way, but Yoshida also confessed in return. You have to thank Hashiba for lending Yano his shoujo manga collection, which definitely gave Yano that push needed to be honest with his feelings for Yoshida.

Having a successful love confession at only the 6th episode is something I'm not used to seeing, but this was done in such a natural and wholesome way that makes this the best episode by far. Now I look forward to seeing how the new couple navigate their way through this new romance through the latter half of this series. =)

A main character who doesn't waste any time. He becomes aware of his feelings, confesses his love directly, and doesn't even hide his attraction from his friends. The kind of main character I appreciate.
@WilliamMinerva20 Something the main characters in A star brighter than the sun need to learn!!!

Who would have thought that reading a shoujo manga would reverse the roles and Yano would become the first to confess his feelings to Kiyoko !? Hashiba constantly ends up helping his rival..😅😭😭

In just 6 episodes, this anime has the best confession and love story that I have ever seen.. 💖🫶

Now without much further drama, we're gonna enjoy our favourite couple being lovey-dovey for the rest of this season.

I was not expecting Yano to be such a straight shooter, but hey good for him and our class president. I guess the anime now takes a new dynamics with the two of them actually dating, while also the whole class knows, lol.

Ahah, Yoshida acting like Izumi was really fun to watch !

What a surprise to see how Yano completely change his behavior and being fully transparent about his love for Yoshida once he realise it !

I'm so glad to see that they confess to each other, and....we are just at the middle of the season !

We will be able to see some sweet moments between them, and it's not often that the main characters get together in an anime, so I can't wait to see their relationship growing !

Best romance anime of the season for me, without doubt !

Even the side character have depth (Hashida) or are immediately loveable (Mei, Izumi) so it's nice to see a show glowing not only for the main character, but also thanks to the supportive / side characters who add a lot.

Great fucking episode. well animated as well. Definitely liked that they fast-tracked the plot rather having it drag on and on (though that leaves questions about what the second half of the season will look like). The whole confession arc was great and I loved how they handled it; very in character for the show and Yano. I definitely hope to see more of Mei and Tanaka going forward(partly because I enjoy the characters and partly because I really like their voices).

Oh my God?! A confession is definitely not what I expected 6 episodes in, especially given the premise of the show. I underestimated you Yano, you are definitely the GOAT.

Yano realized what love is and locked in, holy shit. A love realized Yano is dangerous, wasted no time flirting.

Felt bad for best bro Hashiba, but it was inevitable, I'm sure he will bounce back.

Though they've confessed, I am sure there's now a long road ahead for them to learn about being in a relationship.

This show is so underrated and underwatched, it's absolute peak and one of my favorites in this barren season.

Holy shit, what is this episode?!

I'm so so so glad I didn't drop this. It's straight up 100/100 episode!

Never would I imagine a double confession, especially at episode 6 (instead of 100+) and it came form Yano!!!

I was grinning nearly entire episode.

God I loved this. This may be 10/10 anime this season for me. Depends on how the rest of the anime goes.

Bruh, Hashiba's down-bad friend just unleashed the apocalypse with that question to Yano lmao.

What?! Mutual love confession by Episode 6? Well, now that's a surprise.
F for Hashiba tho. Bro is like the greenest flag around and lost the race for Kiyoko's heart before even debuting.

Anyways, probably among the best episodes from this season. It was particularly hilarious with Yano using shoujo manga to decipher his feelings + Kiyoko playing the ikemen role without realizing and the love confession towards the end was simply adorable.

Perfect. Just Perfect. Im still crying out of joy while writing this. What else is there to say? i'm already giving this anime a 9 out of 10 it deserves it. It looks beautiful, the animation is great, the characters are all loveable, the main couple is just fire, the comedy is peak and i'm always leaving each episode feeling like i had recovered years of life.

THAT'S IT!!!! DIDN'T NEED TO LOSE ANYTIME FOR LOVE!!!!! Recently I have this impression that a lot of anime didn't make too much long time to make her characters say their declarations or being in a couple and I very much like this because a lot of anime romance pushes this moment way too far!

This episode was so incredible that I couldn’t help but write a long, rambling comment that I would feel satisfied with, including pictures, despite the hassle of uploading them (they take forever to load). I apologize in advance for my comment being unnecessarily long and resembling a recap.

It was funny to see how embarrassed Hashiba was when Yano and Tanaka caught him buying shojo manga, even going as far as to bribe them with fried chicken to keep them quiet. Hashiba’s response when Yano brought up the moment he confessed his feeling for Kiyoko two episodes ago was surprisingly cute. The sound he made was unexpected from someone as manly as Hashiba. His reaction to Yano’s question about what being in love feels like was also funny. Hashiba’s tsundere behavior throughout the scene, complete with plenty of blushing, was absolutely adorable. He really gave Yano a run for his money in the cuteness department this episode.

Despite insisting that the shojo manga was for his sister, Hashiba seemed genuinely interested in the story’s development. He even let Yano borrow all 20 volumes of the shojo manga, “Amika in Love,” which I suspect were actually his and not his sister’s. This turned out to be very beneficial, as the manga helped Yano realize that his feelings were indeed love.

The classroom scenes where Kiyoko tried to imitate Izumi’s looks and mannerisms were hilarious. I couldn’t help but laugh at how mesmerized Yano looked every time he saw Kiyoko, and how she resembled a sparkly shojo manga illustration each time. I appreciated the gender role reversal compared to the manga Yano read during this segment, with Yano essentially taking on the role of the heroine, while Kiyoko played the ikemen. The actions in the classroom mirroring those he read in the manga gave Yano the courage to confess his feelings to Kiyoko right in the middle of class, which was very unexpected and poorly timed.

After confessing to Kiyoko, Yano starts to behave affectionately and romantically towards her, doing things like brushing the chalk dust from her hair. The look on his face during this moment, along with the scoffing sound he made, was incredibly adorable and surprisingly hot. Who would have thought that this clumsy, accident-prone boy could be so charming? All thanks to the magic of manga, of course. However, even this new romantic side of Yano is still just as clumsy, as he almost fell to the ground shortly after. Luckily for Yano, Hashiba was there to catch him.

It was really surprising seeing Yano openly show his affection for Kiyoko in front of their classmates. I never imagined Yano would be so straightforward, and judging by the reactions of the other students, they didn’t either. Hashiba’s horrified expression when Yano states that Kiyoko is his type was hilarious, but the funniest moment was Kiyoko’s reaction after a classmate claims that Yano was hitting on her. I felt a bit sorry for Hashiba in this scene, as this had surely dashed his already slim chances with Kiyoko. But, Hashiba is a kind, good-looking guy who could easily find another girl. I actually think he and Izumi would make a really lovely couple.

The shared confession on the staircase was so touching that I couldn’t help but shed tears of joy. It’s the first time a romance anime without any tragic elements has made me cry like this. Kiyoko and Yano are both such sweet and kind-hearted people who truly deserve each other. It’s impossible not to root for their happiness. I also like that it wasn’t overly dramatic or drawn out. There was no beating around the bush, no misunderstanding, or hurt feelings, just two individuals being completely honest about their feelings for each other.

This anime has completely exceeded my expectations in every way. I decided to watch it because of the wild premise and the beautiful visuals, but mainly because my favorite voice actor, Kohei Amasaki, voices the main character Yano. I expected a cute romantic comedy, but I didn’t expect it to deliver so hard in both the romance and the comedy, being every bit as hilarious as it is heartwarming.

Double Confession in episode 6? Going into this episode that was something that honestly wasn't what I expected but that happened incredibly quickly.

They really didn't confirm that they were officially dating but it basically looks like it. Yano being so blunt with his advances in the classroom that the class said he hitting on Kiyoko was unreal. They did say he was unpredictable and that really does just fit the nature of his character.

Can't help but feel bad for Hashiba. Dude basically taught Yano what love was and he ending up stealing the girl of his dreams. I always liked the Yano-Kiyoko relationship from day 1 so I can't help but feel that this was the best outcome but it really does suck that this happened to him. Kiyoko interacted with him but she never really considering him as a romantic counterpart at all. She always had eyes on Yano and you just can't help but feel bad for the guy for not realizing it at all. Curious to see how this love triangle ends.
