This anime does a great job exploring the characters' psychology and giving their worries and anxieties the tone they deserve. However, sometimes the "clothing" theme seems a bit forced. "Oh no, I hit my head! But it's okay, because I have a hat my best friend made," that kind of situation. I think it lacks subtlety in that regard. This anime also has the charm of taking us behind the scenes of the Japanese fashion industry in an engaging way, which I find fascinating. Anime in general tends to exaggerate people's abilities a bit, making them seem like superheroes; it can be a little strange, but it's not really bothersome.

This episode clearly showcases the significant complexity and the characters' growing maturity. Aside from that, the narrative foreshadowing used by the opening song effectively gives an anticipating excitement. It was perfectly executed, especially the transitioning and the well suited music is just very engaging to listen to.

The Tsumura household’s problems aren’t over-the-top drama, imo. The realistic issues and misunderstandings in this episode are so sad… this whole family is so sweet, they’ve just been dealt a bit of a bad hand in life is all 🥺 On the other hand, Ikuto is getting deeper and deeper into the fashion world~!! So many faces in this ep, both new and old… I’m happy to see the cast expand!! The mix of personalities is so fun LOL.
