Not too surprising that Miri is being sent to a school that has the actual time to take care of her. As much as Rei and Kazuki wants to take care of Miri, it seems to be quite difficult for their schedule.

Still, I think this episode found its style of realism in some ways.

Miri being the obnoxious kid that she is, put her in whatever situation, she'll mock both Kazuki and Rei with a smile. The sudden realization of a daycare, that could be a solution to their problem.

The buddy daddies trying their luck on enrolling Miri into daycare, they have to drop by the government office to start the enrollment process, but it proves too much for Kazuki to rather forge the documents and go ahead with whatever will be, will be. Their choice of different daycares with Miri's truth talk, it only resents both Kazuki and Rei being shady people. Rei sure didn't feel like it, but turn the other way, and Kazuki will drag him to wherever they are going, that's a good comedy gag.

Oh well, they succeeded at getting Miri into daycare, and with the paperwork, that calls for a celebration. The actual child rearing work I admit is a mess, that's the typical arrangement of kids entering preschool, but Kazuki takes it that all of his "expressing dominance" expensive shopping work creates an even bigger mess, for everything needs to be tagged or sewn with Miri's name on it. And as expected, both Kazuki and Rei come in style, alerting the mothers and their chat group lols. Clearly, Kazuki over-prepared for the typical daycare, and at least they got the job done. But this causes a rift with Miri's first day being ignored by the kids due to her clothing, and as the days go by, Miri's optimism is traded for seclusion. The daycare teacher Anna's advise to pick up ordinary stuff that's all the rage with mothers, they got a better bargain than before.

At least things are looking far better when they go simple. And as simple as this episode goes, it's really enjoyable as well. Kazuki embracing the father figure, that's a good sign of things to come.

After how sad last week episode was it’s nice to get a sweet episode like this.

First of all that flying headbutt from Miri is the stuff of legends. Convincing the admissions people that rei and Kazuki don’t do anything suspicious for a living was hilarious.

At first I was worried that Miri was getting bullied at school and just keeping it to herself. Damn near was about to jump thru the screen to defend her, but the fact she wasn’t making friends because her clothes were too fancy was wild lol.

Lets take a moment to appreciate Kazuki and all the great dads out there. He saw Miri struggling to fit in and took the initiative to start up that game of football, get all the kids involved and break the ice. My heart 😭 so proud of him.

You can see how much Kazuki has grown already, getting the kids involved with some footy and helping Miri make friends. Proud of him.

This was a very nice episode once again, I was sad for Miri when she started not being as "smiley" as usual :/

I'm glad she got into Daycare, which also mean that Kazuki and Rei will be able to resume their work, and we'll get to know more about that other assassin that we saw at the end of Ep 2.

This is the story of two fathers and a little girl, so obviously, even at Daycare, Miri will still be around causing trouble.

But what kid's never trouble ?

Haha :D

More of a chill episode this week, and that absolutely works. Miri’s a whole lot of trouble for Kazuki and Rei, so they tried to send her to daycare, and that was an ordeal. It really shows the realism of the struggles of parenting, but a feeling of it being worth it in the end when the child is happy. It seems like this show might work better with a simple episode like this one, but I don’t think these happy times will last for the rest of the series.

Well Miri wasn't sorry for fucking with Rei on the treadmill. Not to mention the Skull Bash and her loose mouth. She's a real menace lmao.

The second shopping segment after operation overdressed failed was also hilarious. And the ending was wholesome af. Great episode overall.

It was funny for Kazuki and Rei to find a daycare for Miri, but it was funnier seeing them buy all of those supplies. They sure went all out appearance wise, they already caught the attention of the moms, I wonder if any are single and hope to pursue them hahaha. It's sad that Miri couldn't get friends because of her close, but the feeling changed when the dad's discovered shopping paradise. Looks like they're starting to learn about the ways of parenthood:)

Miri is the worst type of kid, but papas don't give up. I wonder why Miri seems to never miss her mama though.

And how come they didn't need any proof of parenthood/adoption in any of this? Or did I miss it, and they forged it too?

That group chat though, those moms are super down bad LOL 

-"Hitmen? I'd take a hit from THAT"
-"They could do a hit on my husband too!"

Not a bad episode at all. Now that we're settling down more into things, like putting Miri and daycare, buying all the stuff she 'needs', and giving her her own room, I believe it's going to be pretty good from here on out. I had issues with Miri's, um, 'adorable', character at first; like my ears are still ringing a bit even from this episode. But those were just the first episodes, and things really probably would be a bit rough at first as these two dads learned to smooth things out for a responsibility they are experiencing for the first time. 

But getting shunned just because you have slightly fancier clothes than everyone else? I KIND OF get it, but I still don't really buy it. At least it led into a great scene where these two guys shopped at a more budget friendly store for the first time.

Such a great episode.  Both dads were hilarious in their own ways.  Love love love them. 

And now that they have daycare figured out, they need to work on some after hours babysitters.  Would assume most of their jobs are executed at night.

Incredible episode like all the others. I, who on the other episodes hate Miri, she hurt me earlier, it makes me happy to see that she still managed to have friends.


Rei and Kazuki manage to adapt and become exemplary parents.


The episode was beautiful and well paced the anime is progressing well.

This show is so blessed, they really nail most of those little details about having a child, turned to 11 ofc, about time she got her own room too.

The only difference would be your child crying their eyes out once they realize that you won't be with them, it goes from excitement to regret haha.

I think having an episode like this helps the day-on moments because it allows those episodes to focus on the missions rather than what miri is doing to mess them up

God, imma admit, kinda got teary eyed towards the end.
Worst than being bullied or an outcast at school, is having your kid be so and feeling powerless towards it. So glad Kazuki Papa didn't drop the ball, literally and figuratively, ahaha ♥

Really enjoying this more and more as the episodes go by, it is really hitting hard on the slice of life / life with kid genre and the fuwa fuwa feels.

Miri finally going to an daycare so that Rei & Kazuki will have more time on their hands for their job and they don't have to worry that much.

This shows that you don't need expensive clothes to go to school/daycare, even normal clothes are fitting.

Another great and wholesome epsiode! Damn, I do love this series! :D

Papa Kazuki is so adorable. He really sewed Miri's name on her belongings and played football with her to have the other kids get interested and become firends with Miri.

Papa Rei wrote her name too (Nice body by the way XD)

One thing I REALLY appreciated was how No One asked Miri why she has two fathers and where her mother is. Like, No one said "You have two fathers? that's weird" or something like that. Someone asked the question but didn't make a big deal out if it and then just moved on. It's nice! :)

The supermarket scene was really funny XD

The post credit scene was cute. Miri finally has her own room thank to her papas

Once again, I appreciate that Miri is so realistic. Like many 4 years olds, she can be annoying and adorable :)

Well seems like Rei and Kazuki papa have gotten a little tired of Miri's well annoyance to say and have decided to send to her a daycare where she can be tended to whilst the fathers continue with their "bad buisness". 

The paper work bit was kind of funny and that interview at the first daycare lol.

It was also a rough first few days for Miri at her new daycare, unable to make any friends cause of her clothes but after some shopping and with help from Kazuki's football skills, she is able to socialise with her daycare mates and became good friends with a lot of them!!

Such a wholesome anime!! need to see more!!

I actually love this show so much because its completely different take from Spy x Fam.. It's much more humanised. Seeing the two awkward dads try their best for Miri who is just an ordinary kid.

Very wholesome slice of life.

This episode was really sweet after the darker tone of the previous. I love how Kazuki and Rei are really stepping into their roles as dads. Kazuki didn't have to help Miri out at daycare but he chose to anyways because he wanted her to enjoy her time there.

Cute episode, and weirdly enough I kinda like that they're showing how much goes into just enrolling a kid at school; it touches on both the exciting and tedious, lesser thought about aspects of parenting, which gives a balance I appreciate.

So far I gotta say the initial draw for me in its premise is starting to fade a bit. Now I'm counting on either its story to start picking up or for its characters to shine a little more.

While work for Rei and Kazuki has dried up for them at the moment, their time with Miri was the main focus of this episode, where having her go and enroll into a daycare centre being the top priority for them. Of course, with their skills as hitmen, Kazuki used his skills to forge the documents needed to get to the approval that he and Rei needed, although Miri blabbing on about Kazuki's tech skills during the first daycare interview ended badly.

Thankfully, the second attempt worked out without any issues and thus, after a fun shopping segment, they were prepared for the first day. I had to laugh at the mothers who, after seeing Kazuki and Rei dressed smartly and hearing about them being hitmen, gushed in their group chat about how hot the guys were and one wanted to he "hit" by them! XD

However, it also gave a realistic insight of how first impressions can backfire on you. The rich look that the trio went for made it too difficult for Miri to play with any of the other kids, as her clothes are more suited for wearing to fancier places, rather than clothes that are more durable and cheap, which can be put through hell and back without any hassle. It was a good thing that the cute daycare lady pointed that out to Kazuki and helped him in going to the right place to shop for it all.

Thanks to that, Miri got a better reception from the other kids, helped out by Kazuki playing with them by showing his nice football skills. The post credit-scene gave Miri her own bedroom, which was about damn time, too!

All in all, this episode was very sweet and heartwarming. Miri might be loud and crazy and, especially with a few users above me, her style isn't for everyone, but her smile is simply too adorable and you almost can't help but forgive her for being so reckless. She's pretty realistic for a good amount of kids her age, so I'm glad the anime reflects this on Miri.

This has Hinamatsuri - recommended by someone in the recommendations. Yeah ... in this episode I got reminded of Hinamatsuri as well. Not many anime can do the comedy + emotional (maknig you cry tears) scenes together in the same anime. Here they did a great job including the stuff with the clothing end the ... kind a bullyign gin a passive way (ignoring Miri). And Kazuki acutally noticing. And helping to change this. (Even using the ball to lighten up the mood at the end.) Nice details.

Pretty good job from the director and/or script writer.

Yeah, life's fun when you're RICH! If your kid wrecks your house and stuff when you have average income and spend most of the time on an exhausting job, you'd be less smiles and more "disciplining".

Still, the show's surprisingly more enjoyable than expected.

Really good episode! They're really nailing how much of a little shit kids can be and why I don't like most kids lmao.

Miri being sad just feels wrong, like all is not right with the world wrong. Glad they were able to resolve that issue right away. Too much drip.

Damn, those daycare moms be thirsty.

Miri's room looks really cute and glad she's enjoying daycare now. Now that she's preoccupied during the day, it's hitman time.
