So many cliche and cringe moments here 😭 Takao's too good to be true, I actually liked Tsutsumi's complex feelings for Hanabi better. I can't comprehend how much I disliked Hanabi's behavior this ep! Maybe it's 'cause they're kids and immature, haha. I wouldn't watch this ep, tbh.
Well yeah, the chemistry between the lead couple was incredibly sweet. However, I am more drawn to the other side's viewpoint, as it effectively delivers the gradual pace of romantic excitement and genuine thrill that I have been looking for. On another note, their outfit choices were remarkably creative and stylish, as the design did not just stick to a single monotonous clothing look but efficiently showcased various refreshing styles, making every scene a joy to watch.
The tone of this episode was light-hearted until that ending scene where the tension got slightly high. Honestly, I'm still totally annoyed with Hanabi's personality and behavior. This whole concept, to be exact, was fast-paced, the plot was targeted for adolescence, but the visuals were not. The art style greatly resembled Kimi ni Todoke and the love trio were Tohru x Yuki x Kyo-like of Fruits Basket.
