The Duke's Son Claims He Won't Love Me Yet Showers Me with Adoration

You know the warehouse flashback with the kids working in those conditions actually gave Jarmo something real. Does not excuse cornering Elsa but it explains the bitterness

Fans keep yelling at Julius to just say the words but nobody wants to admit his actions did more than a confession ever could until Jarmo weaponized that silence. The title is literally the problem now

Yui Ishikawa carried this whole episode on her back. The way Elsa's voice cracked when she said she was not there because she was loved. I felt that in my chest

the way Julius kicked that door open like it owed him money though. Should have aimed the kick at Jarmo's face instead

Jarmo locking the door and then pulling that pity story out of nowhere? Nah that was calculated. Boy rehearsed that speech in the mirror

I could not deal with Elsa saying she got dust in her eyes. She protected the guy who just cornered her. That quiet sacrifice hurt more than any fight scene could

This was such a wholesome episode. But I'm kinda dreading what will happen next, the ending made me nervous, lol.

Me watching this show every week like okay when is the confession happening. Still waiting. The pacing is starting to frustrate me honestly because every episode takes two steps toward something then pulls back. That lantern boat scene was beautiful though. Julius tying the wish cord sealed it

I don't know who Jarmo is. I don't care who Jarmo is. Julius doing the whole I-don't-know-her bit while clearly getting jealous was comedy gold. Bro really tried to play it cool then immediately took Elsa off to the festival by himself

Niina telling them they were acting funny while Julius ate that green risotto without complaining was the cutest thing all episode. Man really ate vegetables he hates just because she made them. That's love. That's what the title has been about the whole time

One bed in the whole hotel and they STILL slept apart. I wanted to grab Julius and shake him. But that boat scene with him tying the bracelet and asking her to say his name made up for it. That whisper of J-Julius-sama wrecked me

Can we talk about those background shots in the market though. Something about the food stalls looked really off. Like AI generated weird. The romance carried the episode hard but I could not stop staring at those dodgy backgrounds

Prince Alexis is the real matchmaker here. Man looked at his densest subordinate and basically decreed a honeymoon trip to cheese country. Julius needs a royal mandate to take his wife on a date and that's both pathetic and adorable

Julius not remembering Jarmo after everything is genuinely killing me. School rival built a whole personality around your name and you just say 'sorry who were you again'. That is the funniest burn this anime has ever landed and it wasnt even intentional

The flashback of little Sarafina handing Yalmo her spoon broke me a little then the cut to her asking about Julius with those starry eyes twisted the knife. You can see exactly how that love curdled into ambition

The cookie line. Of all the noble scheming and backstory drama happening this episode the funniest thing was someone worrying they were running out of cookies. This fandom has adopted that phrase and honestly I'm already using it in daily life

Amazing

The dream at the start with the petals and Julius asking her to say his name then she wakes up to him knocking. Cruel setup for what came after

That letter at the end was the best thing Jarmo got all season. Withdrawing support right when he needs it most. Finally someone said no to him

Good
