Every episode of this has been amazing so far man, I can see a potential 10 coming from this. First, I was thinking Mitsumi finding out about Shima’s child acting career would cause more drama but thankfully she read that he probably didn’t want people knowing about it and they talked it out calmly, love that shit lol. And we got that heartwarming flashback between Fumi and Mitsumi as a result, I’ve said it before about her but she’s a true friend man.

And damn, I absolutely loved Takamine’s bit this episode, Mitsumi really entered her life and changed it for the better, I’m sure all of her anxiety isn’t gone but it’s been eased without a doubt, just really loved that development for her. And I especially loved that scene where they saw that amazing view from the bus window, as well as Takamine’s more heartwarming dream that could be mistaken for her tripping out lol, it was sweet but also had me thinking of a lyric from a Grateful Dead song that goes like “the bus came by and I got on, that’s when it all began” lol, made me like the scene even more, I think she might be one of my favorites so far.

And lastly I did like Mitsumi’s goal about helping out her hometown and others like it, I do hope her plan involves maintaining the nature tho, Japanese countryside is truly beautiful after all.

Love this show. Tried reading the manga, the anime just adds so much personality and hilarious voice acting. Sticking with the adaptation until it's done.

Each episode got some real life elements that stress us out and also a solution or some kind of relief for it. I like how this anime is simple yet meaningful.

Time's short, so make sure you live your life with no regrets, the way you want it.

Ofcourse this doesn't mean drown yourself in self-indulgence, and this is also meant for the more hardworkers. Keep the efforts in moderation sure, but never forget that your life is yours and yours only, and no one can live it better than YOU.

Narumi showing Mitsumi that Shima was an actor in his previous years so Narumi asks if Mitsumi can ask if he joins back for the club.

Mitsumi doesn't know how to ask so she begins to doze off and gets hit in the face by a ball, oof. Shima then sees Mitsumi and they talk for a while and there's also some backstory from Mitsumi when she had hard times with her exams probably but the food made it all better. Pinky promise was adorable. Mitsumi tells Narumi that he won't join the club. Mitsumi had a great Golden Week since her sister brought her around Tokyo. Mitsumi is worried about her grades and goes for help by Tokiko.

Tokiko keeps an schedule around and Mitsumi follows her footsteps. Mitsumi is writing an schedule for herself as well. That bus scene was nice though, nice reference. Mitsumi didn't sleep well since she was writing her schedule. Tokiko says to not take it to heart and Mitsumi felt that lol. Shima says some wise words in the end.

Nothing much happened but it is nice for Mitsumi to slowly realize that she already has good grasp on her way of life a student.
She just needs to live the moment and she will do just fine.
Again, Shima and Mitsumi's tandem is still as sweet as ever. They still are truly soul mates, but as we know soul mates do not necessarily have to be romantically involved with each other but that doesn't mean their bond won't be the strongest.

Ok. We get to know why Shima ain't acting. But the entire episode revolves mostly around Takamine and I liked how Mitsumi was able to change the former's perspective towards life.

Its nice to see Mitsumi learn a lot by all of her surrounding. Sharing your goal together with cute boy and be promise about it. Tingling pinkie, i see. Acquire a trip and try to catch up with a strict girl from a student council way and learn how she had her own fair share of problem with a messed up schedule. Tho, just be your own self with your own pace, Mitsumi. Then i'll be sure, you can reach up your precious dream wonderfully and also without a regret in your lovely high-school life!

Is it just me or does this anime get better and better with every episode? I loved it so much and there was a lot to take from this episode.

I really, really appreciate the fact that for once characters have common sense and how Mitsumi though about how Shima would feel/ react if she asked about his acting career or even encouraging him to join the club. Also anime characters for once really communicate without any misunderstanding or drama! That's rare and nice.

At first I thought I could not relate to Mitsumi very much but I think I do more than I ever thought :D. (I mean I was born in a small town in the countryside too so I know what it's like to maybe have one bus coming a day if at all. But then again moving to a city you adapt so easily and worry eventhough busses come every 10-15 minutes). But her picking up the cat was so me :D<3. She has a vast imagination and much like her I space out a lot and love to daydream. Also to look at small/beautiful things like a sunset <3
But I'm also an overthinker which really isn't good :S

Also how adorable and cute was Takamine's dream? *-*

I like making a to-do list for the day instead when I need to plan things out. As long as I get the important things done then I'm satisfied. I also try not to put too much on the to do list.

In this week's episode, we delved deeper into Mitsumi and Fumi's relationship, and how Fumi has taught Mitsumi to enjoy the small things that happen in life. We meet Takamine Senpai, who is a strict person like Mitusumi and takes everything seriously and often forgets to relax and have a good time, she was the kind of person that prefers studying over looking at beautiful scenery while going on the bus, but after she met Mitsumi she changed. We see the change in the following day.

We finally got to know that the black cat in the ending song is none other than Mitsumi herself!

Not a manga reader but judging by the praise for the adaptation so far, you're probably safe just watching the anime and then read the manga from the stopping point.

Need more Takamine-senpai screentime she's adorable. And that's why I don't make schedules - by the second item on there I'll be behind half an hour, and then stress myself out for the rest of the day. Took me way too long to figure out, that it's the method's fault and not mine.

Great moments all over the episode. Sousuke and Mitsumi seem to be a perfect fit for eachother. The way they support eachother in their own way is nice to see. Mitsumi seems to get so focused on what's in front of her that she can't see the bigger the picture or all the options available to her but Sousuke makes can make those things "visible" to her with those simple, yet precise, remarks of his. With Sousuke, he seems not have anyone who can pick him up or encourage when he's down, but now Mitsumi can do that for him.

The second half was good too. Mitsumi joined her senior to learn from her, but it seems it was the opposite what ended up happening. Mitsumi taught her it's okay to make the best of situations instead of worrying what will happen next. That's facts cuz not everything goes as planned in life, instead of dwelling over it we should just accept it and move on.

Great lessons in this ep

The dynamic with Takamine was fun. Thankfully she learned to take it easy instead of clinging to a schedule. Take notes of that Mitsumi. Cute that she overcame her nightmare. Speaking of cute..the cat <3

The interactions between Iwakura and Takamine were really heartwarming. Even better when Takamine was able to break from her rigid routine and enjoy the little things happening around her rather than obsessing over time optimization. Such a good second half to this episode!

Also, Shima's a good lad.

I love the simplicity of this anime, it feels good, wholesome and natural, it's like the medicine of the season, definitely my favourite spring anime.


    Grant me one hour on love's most sacred shores
    To clasp the bosom that my soul adores,
    Lie heart to heart and merge my soul with yours
