For the first time in a long while, Yui manages to sneak into school, though Nakami notices her while Magari manages to borrow Kurashiki-sensei's fan to kill off the heat.

Back from the Chrihama school trip, and while both Nakami and Magari manage to get souvenirs and pictures that are more or less subpar, though the latter stole Kurashiki-sensei's fan. Ukegawa meeting Nakami with Magari to discuss about the viewing party and its proceedings (though catching Nakami in the act peering at Magari's photo), which he eventually let her see it. And through the Chirihama Beach view is good, it's not good enough for the photography contest, The official training camp offers places to go, and along with the abalone season, Magari wants to explore more, but first, they need approval from their parents and Nurashiki-sensei.

Though in the heavy heat, the way that Magari tells Nakami to "take more pictures of me" and "leave a trace of me behind"...

The closing ceremony before summer break, and there isn't much time before the viewing party. Asking friends around, the first being Nono who is focusing on her painting  of the plastic bust (which somehow doesn't seem right), asking her to request drawing a poster is possible, but not before being a model to finish her assignment, which is better having both him and Magari pose, which ended up being the poster for the viewing party. Onwards to more planning, and aside from the Astronomy Club, along with Ukegawa and Nono, Kanikawa is the hard one to impress. But convincing her doesn't need to be hard, for Anamizu, deep into her baseball club training, is floundering badly with Nakami watching from start to finish. With more practice with said girl wanting to be the pitcher, Anamizu tries her best, and eventually succeeds in it, though she's already in before his request, and all to convince Kanikawa is just lil' jealousy, so easy.

With everyone onboard, the meteor shower party got into to poster stage, and the training camp irks Yui out being a 3rd party to Nakami and Magari, to make this right. It's surprising that Kanikawa came from a family that runs an okonomiyaki restaurant, though she's actually not all that bad, with her family helping out to promote the viewing party, with the school roof being used also as a bargain. It's also surprising that amidst everyone's own circumstances that they're willing to help out the Astronomy Club, it's nothing more than a miracle that they got this far with everyone's help.

The meteor shower party is coming alright, just with more kinks to fix.

I was thinking we gonna get some kind of a little conclusion to the trip from the last week's episode, i guess it's just done, moving on.

Okay, a lot of people were mentioning this, and i was waiting for something more graspable to comment on, but i really dont think this is the kind of direction that this anime has, "people die, move on", does not sits as something the creator want to convey to us.

But hey, even the greatest stories can shit the bed a mile before end.

That was some poster.. for meteor shower viewing party.. xD

Though leaving that aside and coming to the thing which was the highlight, the subtle hint from Isaki about something. That sounded a lot familiar, but it was what it was. We'll get the full explanation in some due time, maybe next couple of episodes.. so better to feel about this there.

Fireworks festival for the next time.

Yui sneaking into the school and Isaki bringing a fan to cool off, but Usako noticed that lmao. Ganta looking at pictures of Isaki and Isaki getting sorta mad or not? I don't even know.

"Leave a trace of me behind", nah Isaki don't you dare, I'm not gonna experience another YLIA route. Ganta recruiting people for the Meteor Shower Viewing Party. They hang up the posters in different locations to attract a big crowd hopefully. Isaki taking a wholesome nap. Ganta wanting to held a training camp and invites Yui but Yui thinks otherwise lmao. They all have a nice meal afterwards, since they worked hard on the posters. Meteor party is coming.

Wholesome moment.

Cuz she is probably scared of dying, and heart is tricky organ, not waking up one day well, tho im relieved, i saw too after so many chapters she still alive, only thing im scared of manga is not complete. And those death flags i hate.

Given the mangakas other works which are generally light hearted I doubt she'd do something like this. So I can only guess it is due to her being anxious or generally depressed, seeing no way out (yet?) of her sleeping issues and health problems.

I like it so much that they allow the characters to really breath and giving them deserved screentime. Captures the feel of the manga very well.

Geez, all the girls are so adorable. It's so fun to watch.

Well then, we getting Your Lie in April vibes here or what?
 
As everyone returned from the school trip, Nakami and Magari have their share of pictures for the photography contest, but sadly, they were not good enough. A training camp is in order to get better pictures. In the summer heat, Magari tells Nakami to "leave a trace of me behind", by taking more pictures of her, and man, that just makes me fearing what's to come. It seems too blatant of a death flag though, hopefully they're just messing with us. After that, Nakami went around trying to recruit some helpers for the viewing party, and it was great that even though everyone's busy with their own lives and circumstances, they offered a helping hand.

Hopefully we get to see some beautiful sceneries again in future episodes, as the viewing party draws closer and closer.

I've seen too many anime where the main girl has to die and you know it, yet you still watch it and no, I did not want to watch another one especially when it's that good. (WHY IS THIS WORLD SO CRUEL)

This not so subtle foreshadowing throughout this entire anime so far, has really run it's course. That's the only downside for me, I wish it was executed with a little more nuance and less often. "I only have X amount of months to live", really not looking forward to that shit. Well, I hope they get a happy ending anyway...

It's a lot of fun getting to know the personalities of some of the other kids in the class for once. And Shiromaru's antics are a hoot as always.
But that "leave something of me behind"
line has me real worried. Sounds like a death flag. We could have another 3D Kanojo situation on our hands. Not that I would complain if it's done well...but then, she could just be expecting to move far away or something.

Also, why did Nono make them hold that position for the whole sketch? She could have just taken a picture and drawn from that. It's loads easier for everyone involved. I think she secretly wanted to torture them a bit.

I love how much progress they are making with the club, it is so cool to see so early on in the series ^^. I can't believe the teacher just pulls out a vape and starts vaping in front of students, maybe that's normal in Japan but not here in the US D:

A very good episode, it was more dynamic than usual so it felt a bit weird, but that's okay.

The comment of Magari made scares me a lot, I don't want anything bad to happen, if there really is a god please prevent anything bad from happening, this anime is very good, it doesn't need another kind of story.

For the rest quite well, we'll see what happens next week.

I was kinda hoping to see if Isaki and Ganta got back to the camp unnoticed from where last episode left off but I guess they did which is bananas but I’m very glad lol. And now the name of the game is prepping for the meteor shower viewing, and Ganta took it upon himself to get Isaki’s friends onboard, and I’m ngl I really liked the bits with each of them, the art club and baseball club were my particular favorite ones, I just finished a baseball anime recently too which is nice timing lol.

And Motoko ended up joining of her own volition which was funny since she was adamant about not helping at the start lol. And tracing back to the first half, it was funny how Ganta got sussed out for looking at his pictures of Isaki by his own friend lol, that got us a cute reaction from Isaki too. But damn, for a mostly chill bit Isaki really hit us with that foreboding line about leaving a trace of her behind, pretty upsetting to hear but I guess for now we should let the good times roll till it soothes our souls, if it takes all night long.

Thanks for this spoiler, I unironically needed to know.

Tbh the whole meteor party ordeal is kinda uninteresting, there's so much else going on I can't bring myself to share Nakami's worries. This is not actual criticism of the writing or anything, I completely understand he's supposed to act like an insecure high schooler who finds problems in everything he does.
