This episode is so heartwarming!! I think if I were in Hananoi’s shoes, I’d be really sad, but it turns out Hotaru really made an effort. It’s so touching to see how they finally managed to reach this point.

This episode really radiates Hananoi’s complex emotions, longing, sadness, jealousy & the desire to be loved. These are such valid feelings after everything he’s been through, & they truly resonate with real world dynamics. Plus, the animation settings are absolutely mesmerizing.

I liked how everything didn’t go perfectly, it made the moments feel more real. Some parts were simple, but they still hit. It made me care more about them without trying too hard.

Hotaru wanting to celebrate Hananoi’s birthday. However, she becomes conflicted because the day also overlaps with a memorial for her grandfather’s death. This makes Hotaru feel confused and worried about how to handle both situations respectfully. The episode highlights her struggle to balance her feelings and responsibilities, while also showing how much she now cares about Hananoi. It becomes a more emotional episode as Hotaru tries to figure out the best way to celebrate him without ignoring her family’s important day.
