Synopsis

Subaru Mikazuki is a 23-year-old mystery novel author, major introvert, and an awkwardly shy person. He would much rather stay home to read a book than go outside and interact with others. Further exacerbating this life of solitude, his parents tragically died in an accident many years ago, leaving him alone in the world. One day, while giving offerings at his parents' grave, Subaru runs into a small grey and white cat named Haru, which he ends up taking home with him. Subaru, however, has never taken care of anyone else in his life—can he even take care of a cat? Haru is grateful toward Subaru, as he gives her all the food she wants—a luxury for a cat who is used to a rough life on the streets. But she notices that Subaru can't even seem to take care of himself! Will she be okay with this dunce? Doukyonin wa Hiza, Tokidoki, Atama no Ue. tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a human and a cat who try to foster an understanding with each other.

This episode was such an emotional way to bring the story together. I really liked seeing how worried both Subaru and Haru become when they are separated, and how their first instinct is to find each other. It shows just how much their relationship has grown since the beginning. I also loved seeing Subaru’s friends come together to help him look for Haru. He started the series as someone who was very isolated, but now he has people around him who genuinely care about him and Haru. It was a really heartwarming way to show how much has changed

I really enjoyed seeing Subaru interact with Narumi and Haru-chan while they shared a meal. It was nice seeing him slowly become more comfortable around people instead of immediately wanting to retreat into his own world. I also loved how natural the interaction felt. Subaru is still awkward, but he is making an effort to engage with them, and the girls make it easy for him to feel comfortable. It was a simple scene, but it showed just how much Subaru has changed since the beginning of the series.

This episode was honestly so funny because Subaru’s quiet little world gets completely turned upside down when Hiroto’s siblings come over. He is clearly not prepared for the amount of energy and chaos that comes with having four children in the house. I also loved seeing the episode from Haru’s perspective. She’s cautious around the children at first, but she remembers what she learned about protecting the little ones. It was really sweet seeing her instinctively look out for them, even while she was completely exhausted by the end.
