Kinoko Inu caused a big mess this time. Fortunately, Hotaru is a patient person.

Poor little thing. Comparing Kinoko Inu to Hanako hurt its feelings. Well, I'm glad they made up. That "I love you Hotaru" was really sweet. <3 Hotaru was the reason why Kinoko Inu wanted to learn to write in the first place. How cute is that. ^^

Also, R.I.P Yara's mohawk, lol. Amusing scene.

So glad to see Hotaru and Kinokoinui make up and be friends again, Kinokoinui didn't mean to make a mess.

Another great episode, this show has unique vibe and I absolutely love it.
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

I cried when I saw Kinoko Inu's "letter" to Hotaru, I didn't expect that that was the reason Kinoko Inu wanted to learn how to write. I thought maybe it wanted to write stories like Hotaru since it was looking at Hotaru's books. Kinoko Inu wasn't dejected about what happened, glad it went to see Yara, and Yara realized Kinoko Inu wanted to learn how to write! After practicing together, Kinoku Inu was able to tell Hotaru that it loved Hotaru (instead of the previous misunderstanding that Kinoko Inu loved Hanako lol). So wholesome ;_; I cried even more when Hotaru realized how long Kinoko Inu has been watching him ;_;

So simple, but it was so moving.

The show is like a love letter to all the dogs and dog owners. Whenever you get tired of the dumb and infuriating things dogs get up to, or when you just get sick and tired of people and life in general, and you turn around and roar at them, "WHAT?!" and they just look at you with eyes that say, "I love you."

It's refreshing how the show is so laser-focused on something so basic and uncomplicated.

Yara didnt have to get rid of his mohawk just make it shorter.

Even though I knew it was coming I dont know why Kinoko Inu writing Hotaru that letter made me tear up when he got it.

With Hotaru having his good nap, Kinokoinu has a time wandering around his house...to see a picture book and the words "I love you"?

Yara is back on his usual mushroom hunt, and Kinokoinu is trying to make drawings...or rather, try to write some Japanese words on Hotaru's draft, so the work has to be carried outside instead. The sleep deprivation is not doing well for Hotaru either...and making matters worse, Kinokoinu messing up his kitchen is the last thing he wanted to see just to have some food, so giving it printer paper for it to experiment is better. Kinokoinu finding a Hiragana book in the midst of the bookshelf to try writing hiragana, even to the point of using Hotaru's illustrations while he's napping, the comparison to Hanako is quite the first cut to its feelings.

Hotaru's do-over illustrations are done and submitted in time, but Kinokoinu going missing and sneaking into Yara's mushroom research lab for him to accompany writing, which took Hotaru through the rainy day to find it, their first fight was met with Kinokoinu's usual protest which resulted in Yara losing part of his mohawk just to stop its restraint on him, quite the amusing scene. The letter being the result of Kinokoinu's learning, it sure came back to Hotaru throughout its days of being a mushroom in Hanako's time.

Yara losing his mohawk is definitely a change...
