Another great episode. I'm wondering about the dynamics for Akihiko's relationship with black hair guy. I was getting some kinda weird vibes. Probably something that would be covered in season two tho. I also really loved how Akihiko did the whole big bother/mentor thing for Uenoyama. Really looking forward to how they pull this together for their show.

Disagree. The manga was already stretched out BY A LOT to fit in the anime, so I have NO IDEA why you think the relationship was "too fast". Nothing was cut - in fact the manga was even faster paced.

No, no, I didn'y say that the relationship was too fast- for me of course was relatively fast (but it doesn't bother me at all). What I meant was hmm.. for ex. inadequate pace to this relationship development.

Moreover if we compare AkihikoxHaruki in manga/anime- we can see that a lot of scenes significant to this ship are put sonner in anime than it was in the manga (maybe to speed up this relaionship?)

It's slowpaced, sure, but I have not once felt that the characters were plain - they're grounded and realistic characters, thus they don't have flashy personalities, but you can still see that everyone's unique. Mafuyu seemed like the typical cute boy at first, but last episode really showed another side to him. Uenoyama's awkward teenage monologues since the first episode and Haruki's gay panic monologues were very endearing. And of course, this episode's standout character is Akihiko. I think slow-paced, more "chill" slice of life shows just don't fit your taste.

but I think you've got a point there

That show is simply way too adorable.

Yeah, I also love the vibe of the series-for ex. warm, sunny daylight and not too flashy night lanterns, sleeping Mafuyu, Haruki's politeness, way of drawing characters and details, and of course stunning opening with bewildering voice filled with emotions

I love this show. It’s slow and warm, like a bowl of soup after a long day. It just makes you smile and feel good.

Ritsuka panicking to Akihiko and Akihiko treating his feelings like normal BECAUSE THEY ARE was just so refreshing to see.

Yep, yep, yep! All of this. We need more shows like these. Yaoi often feels more like non-con but this is so natural and warm. It always makes me smile. I wish the show had more episodes. Perfect slice of life.

I loved the way that Akihiko described the sense of love for him. I felt a lot identified with his thoughts but I really hope that he and Haruki stay together in the future becasuse of I thing they are will be a lovely couple.

I don't know if I'd call Ugetsu my favourite character, but he is the one I am rooting for most strongly and passionately, so him having proper screentime this episode was a joy.

I'm a manga reader. Akihiko's thoughts on his first love are such an echo to the ones I've had in his situation, I gasped when reading. But seeing it animated was still a shock.

This is the one in a million anime where I'm glad for the filler. Digging the adaptation so far.

Did anyone else feel like episodes 6 and 7 should have or could have been combined into one one episode? I love the anime and manga, but it seemed like the past two episodes threw off the pacing to me.

The fact that they actually aknowledged that Uenoyama likes boys and that they mentioned that general way of thinking that he's supposed to like girls by default surprised me! Generally in anime they don't really go into that, they just like boys and that's it, as If it was the most common and accepted thing in the world, but here the fact that he had some doubts about If it was pretty cool to see

Someone mentioned Ugetsu and his eyes. He's damn pretty and his eyes are too, it's no wonder Akihiko turned gay instantly.


Seriously though I wonder if the Akihiko praises will keep going this strongly after we reach a certain point if we ever do reach it at all in the anime..

That being said I do respect the conversation he had with Uenoyama about his feelings. Anime take note pls we need more instances like that. Once again I dig the slow pace of this I think it's doing a lot of good for the story.

Took a while, but the series has definitely gotten more interesting.

Great episode. Comedic timing is great as always. Animation look solid and a lot of things happened.

Ugetsu looks beautiful in anime. All this time reading the manga I never knew what color his eyes were.

Next episode is going to be heart breaking.Looks like they are going to animated 1 or 2 chapters
Just about to watch it, so am scared now, lol

The first rule of being in a band is not to form romantic relationships with band members. That shit has to be established before making the band unless you want another layer to band drama lol
