I feel like everyone here is massively misunderstanding Shimamura.
Adachi is super cute, yes. We want her to be honest, yes.
But the whole confession scene, I was like "nonononono, please don't." I know this is a romance and will end with them sharing feelings, but a rejection here would pull both of them apart. Just last episode, Shimamura gave her internal monologue. If Adachi said that Shimamura was important to her in a real sense, Shimamura would say something non-committal and would not try to patch that broken friendship.

What needs to happen before a confession, is for Shimamura to care about her relationship with Adachi. She might still hurt her, but she needs to want to fix any potential rifts, not withdraw.

To be honest, I can stand Shimamura less and less every new episode, I find her to be annoying. I don’t know, honestly. Well, Adachi is cute, however.

White album, surely became the best memories for Adachi, with all of the chance, with all of the great moments they has been through until then. Its heart-warming me ....

I am kinda worry they had a third party involved. But, its just happen while they both had the same feeling to present a feeling and a little misunderstanding was a nice spark to enlighten their date. So, i get the wrong conclusion before, since the others already enjoying their own couple. Look at those alien little girl, enjoying her little time with Shimamura's sister. Lol. Adachi did a nice development there too, by having a guts to shopping together with a different people beside Shimamura in order to found a nice present to Shimamura, ofc. So, yeah, it was a nice episode. You just tell her slowly, Adachi. Don't rush a thing and let it flow gently.

Still, i am a bit displeasant for the lack of Shimamura's emotion and her way of thinking. Since the most interesting part for me, where Shimamura guessing Adachi's mean with her phylosophical way of thinking. It might be obvious that she knew a thing, but clearly she still refused a possibility. It just, her minds really affected me to play along with their feelings. Maybe the next time its Shimamura turn?

Well, Adachi's perspective was fine in general. Since these episode mostly designed for her happiness in the middle of a snow rain at a christmas day. So, left aside my wish, this is completely a very good episode with a lot of sweet moment. The last scene surely a breath taking moment for me. But i should've known its never happened quite fast. So at the end everything was just fine xD. Adachi's happiness is my relief, and the succession of their event is my satisfaction.

Okay, onward to their next activity!

Adachi just needs to come out and say it already so Shimamura can be forced to sort herself out. The way things are going right now, Shimamura is just stringing Adachi along and its going nowhere. Im hoping for a little progression soon because there hasnt been much development in these past few episodes. Id like to get more of Shimamura’s perspective.

Excluding that job of hers is there really situation when Chinese dress would be fine to wear? In some fancy dress party maybe? I mean in western perspective of this. I have never seen Chinese dress worn outside of cosplay in my country. Would it be fine for someone to wear it let's say for date? That dress was awesome.

What is soft lesbians? Cute cutesy lesbians without that one tomboy character? I agree. I dislike that in usually lesbian stories has that one girl as cute cutesy one and other one is as some sort rough tomboy type girl. That is so boring trope for me. And it gives me too much vibes of heterosexual pairing.

One thing that I liked about this episode was Adachi socialising more with people other than Shimamura. Hino, in this case, was a big help for Adachi in her mission to buy a present for Shimamura and you can tell that both girls enjoyed each other's company during the trip to the shopping centre.


100% agree, like I'm kinda surprised that basically no one is talking about this.
When series started Adachi was skipping school really hard and when she saw Shimamura talking to other girls she just walked away... and now she is talking about going to school and spend "entire day" with someone else then her waifu and had some comfortable amount of enjoyment.
I love her character development!!

Of course her jealousy is still an issue and Shimamura is another can of worms to deal with but small steps... small steps. ^_^

Why Adachi!?

I felt like punching Adachi till she confessed!

Is that Chinese outfit appropriate enough to just walk around outside so casually like this...

When Shimamura took out the boomerang, at first glance my mind kinda went the other way...🗿

Darnit, Adachi! You were so close to telling Shimamura!

On a more serious note, this was, once again, a really cute episode. Those two really have some great chemistry. Adachi going up to tell Shimamura how she feels about her only to back out at the last second had be on the edge of my seat.

For fuck's sake, Adachi, just confess already. This was cute at first, but now it's just annoying, I'll be disappointed if they drag this on for the rest of the series.
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

I am a bit on the fence about this anime for now. Shimamura seems to know exactly what Adachi hopes for and she keeps encouraging her, while thinking: oh, I don't want her to fall for me though. And poor Adachi keeps getting her hopes up.. I don't feel like this will have a happy ending.

Adachi should have confessed in that park. Yes, then Shimamura would have freaked out because she's currently denying her feelings. But the they could have resolved that over a couple episodes where Shimamura figures things out in some way and they get together.

So far this show is shaping up to be another huge disappointing yuri like Bloom Into You (Yagate Kimi ni Naru). They both do good at building up the tension, and even dream sequences where they hint at a kiss, but nothing happens, and I feel teased. They wrap it in all sorts of reasons, but at the end of the day I suspect it's because the showrunners are simply too afraid to have a lesbian kiss in their show (or maybe it's homophobia, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt). I want to see a confession and then least one kiss by the end, or it gets a 1 just like Yagate. And honestly, it should happen way before then. Why can't we see a relationship after they become a couple, with some ups and downs? That'd actually be interesting and new (to me, anyway). They could deal with issues like prejudice, family and friends coming to accept their relationship, whether they are actually meant for each other, etc.

The yuri's I've seen where they kiss they're already macking all over each other by the first couple episodes with no build-up and it's mostly just exploitation. Does anyone know of a yuri (not a hentai) with cute characters where they build things up, actually get there, and then spend the rest of the show with an interesting relationship?


Bloom Into Yuu is really quite good, it's just the anime was left on a more ambigous note because at the time the manga didn't have a resolution on the main romance plot yet.

Finally, Christmas has come, and so has Adachi's long awaited date between her and Shimamura. And I have to say, it was beautiful. Adachi got to spend more time with Shimamura and ascertained her feelings for her. She was about to confess to Shimamura as well. We are still unaware if Shimamura likes Adachi, though. I hope it will soon be given some exposure.

Man, I want a boomerang from my girlfriend for Christmas.

Now, for real: I almost died of laugh when I saw the super cute scene, the presents, Adachi with the tea... and Shimamura took a boomerang.

I have to say the chapter was cute, really cute. I liked it. But the end... omg, please Adachi don't tell her you want to be her best friend in that way. Please, it was weird. Funny but weird.

I don't know how the next chapters will be but I really hope that they end together. They are relly lovely.

Hino and Nagafuji should be goals.

And lol, that boomerang caught me offguard, if you catch my drift.

Still, wholesome episode again.

God Adachi is actually so pure and sweet, wore the China dress for Shimamura and got her, her favourite tea. That Christmas date was wholesome as hell, lots of sweet moments this episode that had carbonised my blood into pure sugar i swear. Shimamura's gift to Adachi was, not expected xd Well needless to say, i guess it's the thought put in that counts the most, and Adachi looked happy with her gift, so i'd say it was a win.
Did feel like when Adachi saw Shimamura and Nagafuji hanging out, a yandere switch of sorts was kinda flicked, but probably just me.

oof, that final scene though, had me on the edge of my seat, i was so ready for Adachi to say her mind. The scenery, the mood, the everything was just perfect and then...pain peko...

Well, I mean.. How Adachi went with Hino to buy a present.. Maybe Shimamura had the same idea and asked Nagafuji for help?..
Hm.. I think this starting to get a bit into drama yuri.. Well, if before it was maybe more hopeful.. Now it feels more depressing.. There were things before as well, really.. But how they spent together Christmas.. Maybe they still can work things out in other time or something.. But it's more and more starting to look that maybe Shimamura and Adachi want different things from their relationship.. Not necessary, but feels like so a bit..

I hope Adachi gets through this jealous phase of hers, cause that is not healthy at all... But I guess it comes from her being too lonely before.

To begin with, Shimamura doesn't seem to know what she wants out of any aspect of her life. She wasn't even sure what a "good mom" looks like. By her own accounts, she doesn't seem to understand basic human connections let alone anything romance related. I feel like she needs to work on figuring herself out before anything else. So, I'm not sure how healthy or viable this potential relationship is.

Adachi literally crumbles any time Shimamura does anything that isn't Adachi related. At the rate we're going, even if they end up together, I feel like it'd be a really one-sided relationship where both sides end up hurt. As much as I love yuri, this may be one of the few times I'm not rooting for a couple.

That all being said, this might be one of the more chaotic anime I've ever seen. I don't know what to make of it. It's not bad, but I don't know if it's good either. I don't think it has any idea what it's doing or trying to convey. And, I sort of doubt it'll get its footing before it's all over.

There is this random alien character that doesn't seem to have anything to do with anything... and what the hell was with that boomerang scene? @_@

It was nice to see Adachi wearing the blue qipao again. It really suits her. I wouldn't mind having one. I picked up a red qipao at a yard sale last summer for $3, but it's too small for me.

Adachi didn't exactly confess to Shimamura yet, but she's getting there.

I thought Shimamura's gift was something "different" at first. I hate my mind. halfway through and i'd say they're a little weird in terms of character and Adachi's requests is probably very weird if done irl. so far not bad but if this goes on it will be. The romance is very one-sided and there are a ton of things that doesn't feel right maybe its the characters themselves idk probably

This is the midway point and this was an extremely difficult episode to rate. It was very up and down all episode long. I decided it was only fair to average it out with a 3/5 rating, but it did have plenty of faults for the first time since the second episode. Nothing really felt smooth; not the date, the boomerang looked more like a sex toy, Adachi's outfit felt unnatural, Shimamura either REALLY sucks or wasn't even trying at air hockey, and Adachi STILL can't spit out the words. Thank goodness there were good things to balance all that out. We're right back to an even 7/10. Not a big loss. Could've been more if I wasn't kind with my rating.
