QUICK TAKES

Un episodio en el que vuelven a hablar con más naturalidad y chizuru tiene más iniciativa, pero el gran problema de esta temporada sigue siendo la lentitud y las reacciones de Kazuya.

This episode gradually developed Kazuya and Chizuru's relationship, which I enjoyed. Still, why did I spend nearly three minutes watching them text each other? 🥲 There was barely any dialogue, and I feel like that scene could have been handled much better.

Did I really just watch them communicate through text messages for over two straight minutes? 😭 Like, actual message exchanges with barely any dialogue. The second half had some progression, but it only lasted for a few minutes before the episode ended.

The first half was pretty decent, with most of the focus placed on Mizuhara and Kazuya's dynamic. The second half offered some closure regarding the resort trip. The pacing was fine overall, but it honestly felt like not much happened.

That sticker Kazuya sent by accident was so relatable and seeing Chizuru actually laugh at it made the whole long distance chat feel way more personal

I felt so bad for Kazuya when Mami just walked past him without saying a word, because you know she has some evil plan cooking for the next semester

The way Nagomi came in and started swinging her cane at Kazuya because she missed Chizuru was a classic grandma move and it made the apartment scene hilarious

Chizuru and Kazuya texting about fabric softener for hours was cute and it felt like they were finally acting like a normal couple for once

I can't believe Kazuya spent half the episode losing his mind over a bra that belonged to an old lady and the second she walked in I actually died laughing

Kibe is such a real one for not blowing up on Kazuya after the guys found out about Chizuru and that walk across campus was a nice change of pace

EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming off Episode 8's more investigative and emotionally weighted events, this episode deliberately pulls back and lets Kazuya and Chizuru exist in a low-stakes, everyday moment together. With three episodes remaining, it functions as a soft reset — a chance to reestablish their personal rhythm before the season's final stretch likely escalates the stakes again.
