EPISODE REVIEWS

We finally get the backstory on the rivalry between Ushimatsu and Chitose! Draining the pond reveals a sunken shrine float and a 50-year-old secret. The visuals of the muddy pond and the old float are hauntingly beautiful. This is peak world-building for the town's history.

I personally did not see this coming from the president himself, so consider me impressed by how he was written and how it's received by everyone around him through the years. His passion really is a testament of how much he loves Manoyama and wanted what's best for it.

Now we understand the reason behind his actions. The director does an excellent job of gradually unveiling the truth, and I'm completely hooked on how the story will unfolds.
