Absolutely hilarious pilot. Sold me on the show in the first watch.

Episode Context

As the series premiere, this episode is purely foundational, it introduces the core cast, the rules of engagement in Kaguya and Miyuki's romantic cold war, and the episodic vignette format that will define the season's structure. Everything here sets the baseline for twelve episodes of escalating schemes, growing vulnerability, and the slow erosion of both characters' emotional defenses. The groundwork laid in these first three skits establishes the comedic language and relationship dynamics that every subsequent episode will build upon and subvert.
