It was a pretty light-hearted episode, a breather. The pacing was slow as a new side character was introduced. The competition was real, but it was kind of refreshing to see from the perspective of young ones. The mood was nostalgic, as it also brought back the kind of point-of-view of grade school kids have. Definitely the peak romance so far, as Nenji was also starting to feel it too. But it was kind of weird that he felt it during these circumstances.
