EPISODE REVIEWS

Just as I expected, Ecchan did not disappoint me. This episode started with something quite traumatic for a girl. But thankfully, Hanabi really became a savior for Ecchan.Honestly, this episode was a bit heavy for me. Mugi’s past made me feel quite uncomfortable. Akane is also a very dark character to me.Overall, I think this episode has some serious themes that become the reason behind the characters actions. It was emotional too.

Episode 3 deepens emotional resonance while maintaining narrative cohesion. It is challenging, beautiful, and unflinchingly honest—a testament to the series' commitment to depicting love in all its messy, imperfect humanity.

Human nature is pretty shady. And nothing comprises more than the realisation of their humanness. Hanabi and Ecchan’s interaction and later the venting of emotions over Mugi prove this point. The pace is mild in this episode, and overall, the animation gloriously draws out the adult theme. A little bit of foreshadowing is used to draw out the character of Akane.
