This episode is funny and interesting. The introduction of new characters also makes this episode more exciting. There aren't too many adorable moments between Miku and Yukiya, but it's still enjoyable to watch.

The twist in this episode was funny as heck! LMAO! Seriously, this was such a thrilling episode to watch. I genuinely never expected this kind of development. That said, what a super entertaining plot. The way the tension kept peaking and then suddenly deflating was simply top-notch writing. Craftsmanship-wise, I just can't get enough of the visuals. Seeing everyone's expressions makes me so happy.

Adding a new couple to the story is a great move to inject a fresh layer of romantic excitement. However, the narrative is heavily held back by an incredibly sluggish animation rhythm. Despite the inclusion of a few lighthearted, comedic scenes, the overall pacing feels far too slow and drawn-out. While the storyline itself maintains a decent level of engagement and remains quite interesting, the agonizingly slow animation delivery ultimately dampens the momentum and keeps the experience from being truly dynamic.

Episode ini memperkenalkan Kazane dan Kakeru, yang terasa seperti foil bagi Yukiya dan Miku. Hubungan mereka sama, tetapi dengan pendekatan dan dinamika yang cukup berbeda, sehingga interaksi mereka terasa segar. Bagian yang paling lucu adalah melihat reaksi Kazane saat Yukiya dan Miku memperagakan permainan mereka. Overall, episode bagus dan menyegarkan karena anime ini karakternya bisa dibilang sedikit, biarpun hal itu bukan masalah.

This felt less like a romance episode and more like a support group for people who can't communicate their feelings. 💀

Kinda a filler-feeling episode, but at least the character interactions stayed entertaining enough to keep it moving I guess

This episode really said “what if we add another couple?” and honestly it was fine. Not bad, not amazing, just a decent setup episode before bigger stuff happens later. 😐

EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at episode 8 of 12, this installment lands in the critical back-third setup zone — past the midpoint where character dynamics have been established, and now entering the stretch where competing routes and unresolved feelings demand attention. The introduction or escalation of both the childhood friend and student council president in a single episode suggests the series is actively complicating its central romantic tension before the final arc. Expect this episode to plant the seeds that the remaining four episodes will need to resolve.
