I like how, at the end, the cat named Kyoko and the dog were sleeping in the dog house. Only those who have seen Maison Ikkoku so far would understand what that means for the story.

This episode brought back happy memories from my manga reading days. Good times.

Alongside the episode/chapter where a drunken Godai attempted to have his way with Kyoko, and fell asleep at the vital moment, this episode/chapter is the best MI has to offer. Kyoko's reaction to misunderstanding what Godai said about the cat creeping into bed with him every night was - and still is - priceless.

It's too bad Mitaka is always around the corner; ready to reveal Kyoko's hypocritical, bitchy side - spoiling my fun...

Very true! I wonder if there was meant to be some foreshadowing in that outcome. (Not a promising outlook for Godai? XD) Probably not, but still... Cute ending. I'm glad to see that the human Kyoko didn't get too upset over the fact that there was a cat in the house...

"Kyoko!!!" xDD

"She sleeps in bed with me every night" ROFL!

Why in the hell does his door open by just the smallest shove? Wouldn't he lock it considering he's secretly housing a cat??
Gawd that was funny when she walked in behind him, what an overpowering aura >.>
And then: "This is cat food..umm...Godai-san, have you been reduced to eating this??"
That was one funny ep! XD

I'm going to miss Seiya's comments.
I don't get why he had to hide it, the human Kyoko didn't even mind.

Also Kyoko and Souichirou sleeping together at the end, sure was symbolic.

Why did this episode have to be so adorable! And those misunderstandings were so hilarious lol
But that ending, when you realize the dog and cat were "Souichirou and Kyoko"(Why must they do this when I'm rooting for Godai! lol)

The end was gold, but it was also a bad omen for Godai.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

"... I developed feelings.." He has become a furry like his apartment manager with her dog

Manager's scream probably gave the guy on the bike a seizure and caused him to crash.

Have no idea where this cat came from - did not expect that at all. Also, how is no one gonna say anything about how he named the cat the same name as the manager? This dude literally creepy.

Update: I watched a few more episodes and the cat was missing - apparently it's his friends cat; do not remember that.

Damn, that cat is cute. There's not many cats in anime that I think are cute or non-irritating, but this one was awesome.

Also, to the comment above me, did you even watch the whole episode? That is, before posting your "update". At the beginning, it showed Sakamoto GIVING the cat to Godai. Not only that, but Sakamoto is the one who named the cat, not Godai. So naw it's not creepy.

Surprised at your comment. I guess you did really miss replying to his comments.😄 Anyways, can you give me a spoiler on what the "Souichirou and Kyoko" omen on the future episodes mean?

Godai's friend surely know how to make fun of Godai lol. Calling out your manager's name as the cat name is freaking hilarious. What a gold episode. The ending where the cat sleep together with Soichiro also cute.

Godai gets drunk and is stuck baby sitting a kitten for a week

I have a feeling Sakamoto has a crush on Kyoko if he name's his cat after her, 
which I wouldn't blame him or likes to tease Godai. This episode is hilarious!
When Kyoko Confronts Godai about "shacking up with him". Kyoko mad scares me
but strangely attracts me to her.

I bet the kitten is also voiced by the voice actress of Kyoko

Lots of fun shenanigans with Yuusaku’s new kitten “Kyoko”, what an unfortunate name lol, but it somehow fit at the same time. And good lord the misunderstandings were the bee’s knees, my favorites have to be Akemi being a “bad liar” and then later with Ichinose overhearing Yuusaku’s conversation on the phone with Sakamoto and then making the human Kyoko go nuclear, that poor guy getting wiped out on his bike was the cherry on top lol.

But eventually Yuusaku had to spill the beans, or should I say cat food, that he’s got a cat named Kyoko, and this led to that adorable scene of her and Soichiro the dog at the end, really sweet end to this episode, but it was after reading this thread that I realized the symbolism here lol, I don’t think this is foreshadowing because there’s no way the main couple doesn’t end up together by the end of this, but it’s definitely showing the current state of Kyoko, she still hasn’t let go of her Soichiro in her heart of hearts.
