This episode was somewhat good, but felt short in certain places. The pacing was carefully building the momentum. The tone was shifted to romantic, and was paired with good animation, that provided some good character development.

Bit of disappointed because I thought finally Ryo can enjoy his freedom when the biggest 'nuisance'(which he was addressing since beginning) wasn't in his life. I was literally fed up when he had ghosting of her saying 'Ryo-sama' again and again. The ending was unexpected yet sweet.

Damn, despite thinking that Ryo's feeling are pretty much forced, this was still a great and wholesome episode. They really did well with the meeting at her school part that it made me forget my critique.

Episode Context

Episode 11 delivered a significant emotional disruption through Shizuka's departure, and Episode 12 positions itself as the direct response, focusing on Ryo's emotional reckoning with her absence. Sitting at the penultimate spot in a 13-episode run, this episode functions as the final character-driven bridge before the series resolves its central romantic and personal threads. Everything built here feeds directly into what the finale will need to deliver.
