| Yeah this is actually good now. What they did with Ryuuji here was one of the most interesting things I’ve seen this season. It was so good that a guy in the comments said that this is what made him realize he is not homophobic. |
| Also, Yatora’s exam picture about this whole Ryuuji drama is gonna be fire. |
| Yep yep, that was heavy. Coloring is really deep and complex no matter what. Ryuji's situation, I don't even know where to start. Todays episode is really great from expressing the feelings to teaching life lessons. Imma say that sh*t really happens irl. I'd drown in the sea with u Ryuji. |

| Damn, Ryuuji is on the edge right now. Wonder what's the deal with his grandmother tho. I mean, she seems super oblivious to all the heavy and oppressive atmosphere despite living in the same house. Anyways, another nicely handled episode. Now let's hope Yaguchi can be of help for Ryuuji, who has clearly reached his lowest point. |
| Damn, the drama is getting more and more interesting |
 |
| ohh my god, the conversation between Yatora and Ryuuji is deep deep. ngl that ending scene scare the hell out of me, i thought Ryuuji gonna jump into the Train... wtf i'm expecting the worse. at this point Ryuuji story is way more interesting to me. |

| more details about the club where yuka-chan is working at : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiKG_v8vn28 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host_and_hostess_clubs A hostess club is a type of night club found primarily in Japan. They employ primarily female staff and cater to men seeking drinks and attentive conversation. The host club is a similar type of establishment where primarily male staff attend to women. Hostesses light cigarettes, provide beverages , offer flirtatious conversation, and sing karaoke to entertain customers. There is no dancing, prostitution or nudity in this club . This club has a strict "no touching" policy . However a red-light district version exists, where patrons are permitted to touch their girl above the waist , and engage in sexual conversation , or kissing . * Name of Yuka-chan 's club : ひげ 娘 . ひげ = hige = - mustache , beard , whisker , sideburn , hairy . - humility . 娘 = girl . https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51694912534_78bf8b4fa3_z.jpg The 1st time that i read the manga , i thought that Yuka-chan pretended to be a girl and seduced the normal male customers . But now i realize that the customers already know this club offers cross-dressing , trap , male hosts . The customers 's tastes are so kinky , lol . And which crazy guy hired the fat , old , ugly , manly guy with the purple dress as 1 of their trap hosts ? And the bony customer is crazy enough to ask for this fat guy as his host , lol . For this job , Yuka-chan uses lip-stick , long eye-slashes , and paints his finger-nails , and uses the pronoun "atashi" instead of "ore" . i thought this kind of club only exists in henta! , lol : https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51694501098_f46cc14291_h.jpg |

| I just noticed that Japanese Yaguchi doesn't use he/him when speaking of Yuka. His sentences are gender neutral. I wish the translators did that too. I think Yuka's struggles this episode would have been so much more powerful if the voice actor was a man with a delicate voice. Yatora works on huge canvases with tiny round-brushes. I can't believe I just noticed it! No wonder I feel uncomfortable whenever I see him painting. I wanna check the manga to see if he did that there as well. lol He looks like such a beginner because of it. Yotasuke, by comparison, looks so confident because of his big flat-brushes. (Maybe this was done on purpose.) I wish they used a different soundtrack when Yuka's parents were being abusive. The music and the scene's mood just didn't go well together, in my opinion. |
| Damn it! Animation keeps getting worse. But the feels were real. |
 |
This episode had an adequate rhythm dealing with the problem Ryuuji the only weak thing was the music, another thing that he saw is that Yagushi still needs to evolve as an artist and person I hope that his search for his color will help him make more decisions of his own and not be influenced by the I am not saying that listening to advice is bad but from the beginning of the episode I saw how he acted according to what he heard and he just took his own notice to Ryuuji to say irrational things |
| why is it so hard for people to understand that yuka is transgender |
| y'all should watch haibane renmei |
| Watching and reading this reminded me something. Maybe i should have finished art prep school. I sort of signed a five year contract when i was about twelve. I managed to complete two years but it was so stressful i quit. Also Ryuuji is a really cool character in my opinion. |
 |
| trigger warning for my comment |
 |
| Idk why they made it seem like it's such a big deal to help your suffering childhood friend? Isn't it natural? Grandma acting like nothing is happening really got on my nerves. a fucking enabler. Yuka shouldn't care for anyone in that cursed household, start caring more about herself and find a way to live independently, doing what she loves - fashion art. and also she needs therapy or she's gonna end up being abused again. *bitch slaps an entire Yuka's family, doing God's work* NirvashX1 said: i dunno why, now i hard simping for yatora x yuka LOL oops me too kinda what is happening . . . |

| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| FUcking hell this week's episode was so good.. The transition at the end is insane |
on 
| Just too much going on with Ryujji at this point, first that exam and now even with his family. Lucky to have someone like Yaguchi as his friend. Now trip to the beach, let's look what it has for both of them. |
| The struggles of Ryujji are hard to watch, hope he gets a good heart-to-heart with Yatora. |
| Yaguchi, Kuwana and Hashida all passed the first exam, and no time to waste because the second exam is coming up very soon. Colouring is another delicate composition, and is the same technique as the others. Use too much, and the technique is lost. Yaguchi coincidentally meeting Ryuuji on the streets, but he's all done with art school with the heart-to-heart conversation. For someone who brought him into the world of art, only to quit before the latter, Ryuuji's distortion is traly real. Yaguchi hearing about Ryuuji's exam work of a "X", it's clear that he wants NOTHING more of Yaguchi's stranglehold. As per usual, only Ryuuji's grandmother can sympathize with her, and Ryuuji clearly is having a breakdown of his own within his own family that continues to be a dread. The 2nd exam of an oil painting and a sketchbook, it's even more rigorous. Hashida understands Ryuuji's trouble that Yaguchi expunges, but the latter himself isn't quite so sure about how to handle the dysfunction between him and Ryuuji. For Yaguchi to understand Ryuuji, he has to jump into the abyss of the struggles he's facing through. Really relatable episode for the things that Ryuuji is experiencing. |
 |
| best episode soo far i hope my boy ryujii stays safe after all he went :( |
| those last few minutes were really hard to watch :/ poor ryuji... |
   |
| Holy shit those parents ... I mean, even if they are not happy with the child being transgender, forcing someone to do art is a surefire way to disaster, even more than forcing them to be a doctor or whatever, because artists need their freedom. They clearly have no idea what they are talking about. My guess is that they are not the real parents but relatives that took her in, they seem to have zero understanding of art, the process, the person, parenting, or basically anything that is not related to their specific field of work. The grandma is basically the only thing that kept her alive, but she is too old to have much of an impact on the family as a whole. |
 |
| For a moment, I thought Yuka was going to throw herself into the subway. |

| Please don't tell me the story will be about ryuji from now on i only like the mc and his journey into being an artist,i absolutely don't care about ryuji and find myself skipping the parts with him,i was glad we didn't saw him much the past episodes but this week's one was ruined because of him for sure. |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| Woww this was really intense. It's only when it ended that I realized I kept my breath, and could finally breath in again. My heart keeps hurting, I feel so much for both characters. The drama is rightly dosed, says enough to understand what's going on, without telling exactly what's wrong so the viewer fills in the blank and inputs his own reasons, often from remembering their teenagehod. Loved the discussions and thoughts around colors too. Oh and I was shipping Yatora x Yuka since the beginning so these moments are pure gold :3 |

| bruh i swear i dont get the "huge disappointment" review thats highlighted that almost 200 people found useful, im even SLIGHTLY annoyed i was kind of reserved at first, but now im enjoying this anime the most this season well, other than that im kind of really into these delinquent protagonists that turn out have a soft side too :P |
 |
| Goddamn is Ryuuji hot. A very intense episode, especially with Ryuuji's family drama. Wonder what is going to happen at the beach if they ever make it there. A lot of off-model drawings in the 2nd half of the episode. |
| This episode was so intense, I feel bad for Ryuji. So sad their parents don't accept them. |
 |
SideCharacterKal said: You're welcome! I'd start from the first volume (I'll assume that you did) because the anime changed a lot of scenes and cut through content to fit everything into one season. The manga goes much more in detail with the art-related content and what more. There were a few more beautiful panels I wanted to post but this one hit the hardest. Anyway, have fun ^ Even as anime watcher also realized some cuts like I don't think Yatora interacted with Fumi Kamiyama before this episode or have I forgotten about her? |

| oh gosh Yuka so broken she's to the point of no salvation...good thing Yaguchi is there for her! 5/5. |
 |
yLewahoy said: For a moment, I thought Yuka was going to throw herself into the subway. I had the same thinks. By the way, the the anime translators cannot decide if she/he is a boy or girl. Some characters use male's forms and some female's. At least in Polish subs. |
| I want to see their pantings and the drawings in the sketchbook, they only let us take a little peek at it. I feel like the scene at Yuka's home could've been very emotional but unfortunately the delivery didn't do it. |
| I'm sure this is a problem because of the anime adaptation and that the manga is different for this part but Ryuji's character development so far is kinda lame in a way that I just don't really understand him, I mean we barely have any information about him or his psychological side except that he's struggling because of his appearance and how he wants to dress like the opposite gender and being rejected in a romantical way and by his parents because of that, that's all so far If I'm not wrong, so I'm really looking forward hearing more of his story and especially regarding art. |
