UP: Wiz's little romance is PURE and heartbreaking. The storm scene is beautifully animated. DOWN: Daisuke and Riku's involvement feels like filler. The bunny disappears and you're left sad. 🍓

Episode Context

Coming off the more intense supernatural confrontation in episode eight's 'Menou's Warning Letter,' this ninth episode deliberately downshifts to deepen character bonds, particularly between Daisuke, Riku, and With, before the series pivots back into its central mysteries. Sitting roughly at the one-third mark of the 26-episode run, it functions as an emotional palate cleanser and relationship-building bridge. The next episode, 'The Portrait of a Certain Musician,' steers back toward the show's core fantasy narrative, making this a calculated pause that strengthens the foundation for what's ahead.
