| Rintarou really pushed himself to make Kaoruko's birthday special :D I am so glad she loved the cake and seeing her smile has inspired him to get serious about baking so he can do even better :) |
| Legit thought Rintarou's mom was either a widower or is divorced, but it turns out dad's just been locked in the cake cave this whole time LOL The pause Kaoruko took when she found out who made the cake says it all. That moment was just as much Subaru's birthday present as much as it was Rintarou's. |
| Gosh the amount emotional liveliness of this episode made me feel like a kid again. There was a insane amount of energy with Rintaru. The weight of having to do something for the person you admire, and make it no less, is no weight to sneeze at. I get that he has background in making cakes for a living, but bro did not hold making making that amazing looking cake. I hear strawberry cake is easy to make for first timers, but I'm not much of a baker so Im not well informed about this topic. A couple things I want to point out that made me gush over everything this episode. The prep work that went in, from subaru handing the schedule, to Rintaru's parents doing everything they can to help out, and his friends being supportive on the matter at hand makes this so freaking SWEET!! And I was anticipating wanting to hear what Waguri might feel when she finds out that HE MADE THE CAKE, and god that pause of the background track followed by waguri being taken back by what she heard, and the look of disbelief at the newly acquired information at hand makes me think she might have just found new things that she likes about Rintaru. If you pay attention she kind of stays there quietly looking at him, until he kinda breaks and goes "this is my first time, so im sorry if its bad" AUUUG SO FREAKING CUTE. I will 100% miss this show so much! The light heartedness of this series and the mode of the momentum being carried from wholesome to cute and then combining the two at times AAAAAAAAAAA. words fail me. Rating time: Plot: 10/10 Its WAGURIS BIRTHDAY！ Theme: 10/10 Gift giving! And thanks! Characters: 10/10 WAGURI YOURE SO CUTE!!!  OST: 10/10 super cute Overall: 10/10 I love it, this episode might be my fav so far. ANYWAY! one more episode of this AMAZING SHOW!!! 😭😭😭😭 |

TOP FIVE THIS SEASON

| Loved the episode! I was shocked Rintaro’s father is alive, he was never mentioned, so I thought he’d passed. I loved him. I also loved Rintaro’s handmade cake for Kaoruko after two weeks of effort, and her telling him she loved it. They’re absolutely adorable, total cuteness overload, I swear. |
Let's purify this week with a bit of Waguri's cuteness:    Get it? Because cake? Hahahaha! Okay, I'll stop  I understand this perfectly. Feedback is important for anyone making cakes. I do ask these questions too, and this was funny to see here:  Also, can't forget Subaru's "Nice Assisto!"  |

| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| Even if Rintarou knows her more deeply, the cake is still the best gift to give her; the face she made when Rintarou told her that he made the cake is the face of a girl that realized that she found the boy she will love for the rest of her life. |
| A sweet episode that I think is the first real step in the love story between Rintaro and Waguri, with Waguri's final declaration implying that eating the cake he made had a certain effect on her heart. And then....Rintaro's father is fucking Byakuya Kuchiki, so I have nothing left to say except: Bankai...Senkei Senbonzakura Kageyoshi. |
| Mother father and Subaru with clutch assists🫡 Warra handsome family though..  Deadly cutness |
