Syu-kun was very adorable. Glad to see that his problem wasn't miraculously fixed in one day. Also that ending was hilariously unexepcted

Episode Context

Episode 5 trades the show's usual chaotic energy for something warmer and more deliberate. A full-family barbecue sets the scene, but the real focus is emotional rather than comedic. Ito steps into a quieter, more patient role as the episode trains its attention on Shu, the most withdrawn of the Narita brothers. The tone balances summery domestic charm with genuine sensitivity, exploring what it looks like to reach someone who is not yet ready to be reached. Gen and Raku remain present to keep the household texture alive, but this is Shu's episode. Expect lighter laughs, a relaxed visual warmth, and a pace that gives the character work room to breathe. Fans who appreciate the romance and slice-of-life side of the show over pure comedy will find this one rewarding.
