It's good to see Ikuto has a strong heart and mind. The situation was really bad and the offers were really good but only if he sold his passion, his great friend and his soul by going after the money.
Never forget, money is never the most imporant thing in life.

Ouch, Ikuto's mother passed away. I sorta felt like that would happen at some point.

Pretty depressing episode. I haven't seen Ikuto in a much more dreadful state than this. It's awesome how President Fujito was willing to buy Ikuto's design to help him financially. A very touching moment that was

wow what an emotional roll coaster, everyone is taking advantage of Ikuto. Glad to know that even when someone in the absolute despair, a miracle will pop out to vanish all of these negative stuff.

The muse is back <3 bold of her to travel to Paris for a modeling job when she's struggling in her own country lol. If you wanted to move up in environment, maybe tackle America first in Cali, NYC, or Florida before the iconic Paris, France.

Wasn't that a flashback scene of the FATHER passing away? The mother survived the operation, and the whole crux of this is that her medial bills are due in 30 days - which is what both Ayano and Kokoro's manager was trying to take advantage of via the bribes (one to destroy his dreams, the other to destroy Kokoro's dreams).

I'm happy the mother is still okay, I hope that nothing is going to happen to her...

Reality is pretty cruel to Ikuto with both Ayano and that manager trying to take advantage of him... glad that Yanagida and president Fujito could help him out there

This episode was so emotional, I'm so glad Ikuto got a break in the end with his design being sold. He deserved it. I'm also glad his mother survived the operation.

Seems a bit rush. But the MVP is Director Chiyuki's father. Seems troubling Ikuto so hard but also at the same time he found a way naturally. I got the point.

Toh's a pretty awful character but he did offer a really good deal realistically to Ikuto.

There is something I don’t understand in the 2nd ep chiko father he said ikuto is a highschooler so he can’t take the design and why give him the money now because doesn’t ikuto suppose to know that his design is being sold and for the last 8 ep he didn’t know?

i think the first time they met, he want ikuto to work in mile neige as a full time employee, but because ikuto is still in high school, he decided to cancel it, meanwhile in episode 8, he just buy the design so they can mass produce and sell the outfit

Is it just me who found the copyright thing odd? It's so convenient how Chiyuki's father paid off Ikuto for the copyright just when he needed the money. But that's like... after mass production of the clothes? Shouldn't copyright be paid before production starts? I can imagine a huge financial loss it would be for Mille Neige if Ikuto suddenly decided not to give the copyright for the clothes (and a possible lawsuit if only Ikuto had the money to hire an attorney for that).

Though I did like how it showed how people tried to manipulate Ikuto by taking advantage of his situation and how Ikuto stayed strong and rejected them.

That was a fucking 10/10 episode! I love how everyone tried to tempt Ikuto with money to do things for them that went against his own principles but he stood strong. Even I think this situation could've been solved by a simple payment plan, I still love how the episode turned out and how the conflict got resolved. Everything connects. <3
