I was so ready for the confession and then he checks her temperature. This show keeps blue-balling us with the romance but the family moments with the step-dad crying on the video call made up for it

Raku without glasses is a whole different person and I need everyone to acknowledge that. Also that fever diagnosis moment had me screaming at my screen the whole time

Gen really felt her forehead during a confession and thought she had a cold. The man is physically incapable of catching a hint. At this point I think he's choosing not to see it

Episode Context

Episode 9 trades the public energy of a school festival for the warmer, more contained atmosphere of a family birthday celebration. Ito carries the emotional weight of the episode, navigating the difficult task of acting normally while quietly grappling with feelings she has only recently acknowledged. Raku steps into a confidant role, adding a layer of perceptive warmth to the comedy, while Gen contributes to the tension without realizing it. Crossed signals and Ito's increasingly strained composure drive the humor, but the episode balances those comedic beats with genuine tenderness. Rui and Shu keep the household feeling full and lived-in. The pacing is relaxed and character-driven, favoring intimate domestic moments over plot escalation.
