Ah, finally we meet Momose's old boss hm.

Momose accidentally dropped his smartphone into a fountain, leading her to change her device. To her surprise, she receives a call from his former boss, whom he had been avoiding. Panicking, Momose is comforted by Shirasaki, who decides to escort him home. Despite his previous reluctance to confront past wounds, Momose gains the courage to face his boss after hearing a warm story from Shirasaki. Finally, with determination, Momose makes a call, and Shirasaki proposes something unexpected.

Shirasaki being a great boss like usual.

Hear me out, what if "boss" role is actually a metaphor for "boyfriend"? Ex-boss would becomes ex-boyfriend, abusive boss would become abusive boyfriend, it makes so much sense!

I actually get this idea from the episode name, "ex-boyfriend", at first I thought it's about Kinjo's brief mention of his ex-boyfriend (among many of his ex-girlfriends), but what if there's a deeper meaning behind this episode name!

oh i love this show so much. it always brings a smile to myself and warm feeling to my heart. i can't believe they're going to live together. im so excited to see their daily loves living together. i really can't believe this isn't a romcom.

also loving the casual bi representation with kinjo. it was assumed from a comment he made in a previous episode, but he more so confirmed it this episode.

I had an oppressive boss, who was responsible for my dismissal. I tried to put myself in Momose's position, but it didn't work out very well, because if she said she was going to come to my house and hit me, I think I would turn into a new thing. 😆😆 Furthermore, if this story is not BL it will be wasting an excellent couple. They are great!

Poor Momose-kun, it might take years before he stops dreaming about his ex-boss :( I still have nightmares about the job I quit 10 years ago!! Maybe living with Shirosaki-san will help him even more, I hope so!
This series is my tonic after a week of work, each episode is more adorable than the previous one and the relationship between Momose and Shirosaki is so calm and natural! I really love this show!

Just when I thought this show couldn't get any more domestic, Momose is literally moving in with Shirosaki?! Every mob character in this show is an ally.

I enjoyed learning more about Kinjou's past and discovering his sentimental side in the process! He's such a great character.

I know work culture in Japan is famous for over-working and abusing the employers, but bosses hitting their employees? IS that really a thing?

Cute episode as always. Really warms my heart all of those interactions.

Well if it wasn’t already, this episode definitely solidified this show as one of my favorites this great fall season. It was upsetting seeing Momose still hung up on his old boss despite the pure healing effect of Shirosaki, especially giving how Kinjo had moved on from his own abusive boss this same episode, and speaking of Kinjo I guess they went and gave attention to the fact that he’s bisesxual for a 2nd time lol, because if i remember correctly he mentioned it in a previous episode, kinda wish they didn’t name the episode after this moment tho because the moment at the end of the episode completely overshadowed it.

And speaking of the end of the episode, damn that was honestly perfect, Shirosaki stepped in when Momose’s phone call with his old boss got out of hand, and even the taxi driver was in on helping the two of them out lol, love that guy. And man Momose’s old boss is pretty insane for threatening to go to Momose’s home, what is he gonna do even lol, but moving in with Shirosaki was definitely the right play, can’t wait to see what shenanigans ensue with these two living together. And lastly, I definitely need to follow Shirosaki on Instagram, I’d pay money to see Hakutou pics in my feed lol.

This episode was cute but can't help but emphasize with poor Momose, enduring such harassment and abuse is no joke, hope he can later confront or denounce the former boss to the authorities or something. Shirosaki has a heart of gold, I don't mind if his feelings for Momose are merely platonic, his kindness towards him is admirable.

I love how no matter where they are the people that would usually just be background characters laugh or cry along with the main cast.

Mr Kurono... His name is Black (Kuro) and No, coincidence? I think not!
Someone report this man to the police or something.

Shirosaki is just such a wonderful person, can we protect him?
But Momose and Shirosaki moving in together is really unexpected and adorable.

This episode was just perfect. And that's something I've probably never said about a Slice of Life show before!

I can't believe Momose's former boss actually called him to diss and threaten him! I'm glad Shirosaki was there for him. Nothing is worse than getting called by someone you wish you'd never have to speak to again!
And I love how Momose thanked his former boss for making him meet and appreciate Shirosaki

Of course, there were also some funny moments. Momose getting hung up on the "Ex-Boyfriend". Getting confronted with possibilites here?

And now they're roommates... Aoyama will be so darn jealous!

Glad Momose was able to find the courage to tell his former boss off. But okay that ending, I did not see that coming...I thought they were just joking during the taxi ride but I was quickly proven wrong. I can't believe Momose actually moved in with Shirosaki LMAO. This is wild. Hope this means we'll be able to see more Hakutou. Great episode though, admittedly I didn't enjoy the previous two but this one picked the show back up for me.

The taxi driver was episode mvp! Hope to see him again.

Momose needs to report Kurono to the HR of the old company and the police.

I wonder what Aoyama is going to say when he finds out he has a house and nobody wanted to move in with him (and his zillion teddy bears).

Omgomgomg Shirosaki defending Momose and Momose being angry because someone called Shirosaki stupid, and now they are living together with the cat they both adopted.

Whenever I say this anime can't get any gayer, the next episode hits me with its worse lol, I am in loooove

Just when I though this anime couldn't get any gayer, Momose and Shirosaki move in together! I also loved the analogy of the broken phone to Momose (the explanaton kind of felt like a confession to me) and How Kinjou casually mentioned his ex-boyfriend (AOYAMA, you can still have a chance).

I Love this anime!

Momose awaking from a nightmare, has he ever overcome from his past trauma?

Be it as it may, his ex-boss Kurono is quite the scum, but as for Shirosaki, his smartphone left in the fridge iwas because he wanted to eat the chocolate bar. Shirosaki may be popular on sicual media, but Aoyama is as needy as usual. Still, Momose and Kinjo's relationship is something the former needs to work on, though Kinjo has many contacts on social media, both good and bad. Sure, the objective of Kinjo quitting is something that would help his old boss turn over a new leaf, though it's up to the person. A selfie of all 4 workers together for a post, he got noticed by his old boss, which is nice to see.

As usual, Momose performs together with Shirosaki's supervision, though the traumas of his old boss really never went away, and in the process, dropped his phone into the water and got a new replacement. The proposals for the sea aquarium are going well, but a call from his old boss has Momose in the same stomachache situation again, though Shirosaki took care of him...by hand. Momose's relentless calls, Shirosaki knows it so and makes it thoughtful that Momose is well taken care of, even his lodging, and the taxi driver being part of the scape plan, it's all unhinged, but the good kind.

Shirosaki: the goofy boss, but a great by-the-example boss.

it is blowing my mind how much I am enjoying this show. this episode was so so good. I feel so so happy for these 2d men. I feel like I might start sobbing. I love seeing a story about someone traumatized by an abusive relationship that wasn't him and a family member or him and a romantic partner.
Shirosaki standing up for Momose was so sweet. and the cracked phone bro I was really the taxi driver in that moment. screaming and crying. that is not hyperbolic I did scream into my pillow.

Momose's "ex-boyfriend?" "ex-boyfriend?" "ex-boyfriend?" was so silly. I love the casual representation. makes me so happy.

His former boss needs a restraining order, how in the absolute fuck does somebody get as low as that irl to the point of considering heinous acts like going to his actual house to confront him even tho Momose has no affiliation to that company again, some people just need to rot in a cell or something

And I can't believe they actually got Momose to move in with Shirosaki ahahahahha
