Pardon the Intrusion, I'm Home!

That ending with the wall being boarded up felt like a punch in the gut and now everything is going to be complicated for the finale

Satsuki screaming that Rinko belongs to him while Usahar was teasing him made that whole balcony scene and it was the most candid he has ever been

Fukami needs to stay out of their business and let Satsuki write what he wants because blaming Rinko for his work getting soft is just cruel and petty

I really wasn't expecting a shouting match on the balcony to be the thing that finally made Satsuki admit he loves Rinko, but Usahar playing the villain was exactly what he needed. It sucks that Fukami is trying to ruin their fun throuple dynamic by calling the landlord or whatever because they were finally figuring things out and being cute together.

My heart sank seeing those boards nailed over the hole, because that little connection was the best part of the show and now it feels like they are being ripped apart.

I felt so happy seeing Rinko realize that Satsuki's writing was actually getting better because of her and she finally ignored that awful editor

Satsuki shouting that Rinko is his girlfriend for the whole neighborhood to hear was so good and Usahar really knew how to push his buttons to get that out of him

Fukami lady is such a nightmare and calling Rinko a witch was way too much when they were finally getting somewhere

The zombie chocolates Rinko made for Satsuki were such a weird choice but they fit the vibe of their relationship perfectly and his reaction was everything

My heart breaks for Pometa because he is such a pathetic puppy boy and Rinko just keeps being nice to him without knowing she is destroying his soul

That revelation about Satsuki being Shimizu Yuu basically kills the theory that he is the favorite author Rinko obsesses over so now everything is up in the air

Usaharu just snatched that draft and started tearing it apart and he really showed why he is a pro in the industry even if he called them diapers the whole time

That teaching session Usaharu gave was so brutal but his advice actually made their story look readable for once

The way the rookies were eating plain bean sprouts with mayo at the start made the ending feel so much better, especially with that offer from the other editor

Pometa absolutely crumbled after he saw Rinko walking with Usaharu and it was equal parts sad and hilarious because he really thinks he has no chance against a titan of the industry

I almost choked when Satsuki smashed through the wall and it was such a chaotic way to save her from a lonely night

Rinkos mother just leaving her alone with anime and cake for Christmas was so cold and I am still mad about it after seeing her cry in the kitchen as an adult

I felt so bad when Rinko called Akito a good friend on the Ferris wheel just to keep things safe. She was so scared of losing their bond and his face afterward was just so sad

Usaharu wandering around looking for limited edition pudding just because he was lonely and missed Rinko was so relatable and sad. He really is just a big baby who needs attention and snacks

You can really tell Akito is a professional writer with that script he made for their date. The way he blurred the lines between his fiction and reality was actually kind of scary and brilliant
