That was fast. Almost felt like Summer vacation started before it's coming to a close.

A test of courage event felt like the most Summer thing to do. But yeah, this episode opened opportunities for Teru and others with the pairings. I know this show tried to aim for the "horror" stuff but I always find it really comical.

Looks like Kana was really happy having her hand hold.
The scare challenge was less scary that the characters thought but it was nice to watch.
And we had a some animal and insect trivia.

Another surprising and shocking fact about Okinawa that Teeruu will soon learn is how early the sakura is blooming in Okinawa.

Kaana, darling, just hand holding? That wonderful opportunity and you did not advance beyond hand holding, and not even romantic hand holding at that. You should have at the minimum got a warm embrace and some talking about you feelings. And, when you are really scared, USE that to you advantage also. You are pretty much consigned to makeine status now.

So we all know Kana is best girl and should win right? We’re rooting for you girl!

Bikes not really being a thing in Okinawa was pretty interesting. You’d think a place as picturesque and beautiful all year round would have an avid cycling community, but the roads being coral and having that many hills definitely would deter people.

Lmao at Kyan not being able to ride a bike. Poor Kana suffering from her own success. If she didn’t know how to ride a bike she’d have been able to get closer with Teeru too. This was a fun episode as usual. Now every time I see Kame house I’ll think of salt erosion

Yae being the perfect support for Higa as always. The okinawa monsters sure were pretty unique. Loved the insight on the god as well. Salt damage though must be pretty bad. It was cute seeing Teru teach Hina how to ride.

Not quite perfect, she was so frightening that Kaana was afraid and did not make her move.

Aww, some really adorable moments for Kana, glad to see how happy she was when she got back home.
I also liked the amusing scene with Hina pretending she knows how ro ride a bicycle and the one at the end where basically everyone is bored so they go to the beach haha.

A nice mix of relaxing and amusing scenes as always :)

@Shingster I learn to respect the sea air when I lived on a coastal city... I saw oxidized double anodized aluminum. The sea air is fearsome.

Kana my beloved...
When they started talking about the sea, I really thought it was going to be something like "oh everyone come here to spend time together because they're united" but then... everyone is just bored lol caught me off guard

I’m glad they didn’t ruin the cliffhanger of the last episode and somehow involve Kyan during the test of courage, nothing but Higa goodness was pretty awesome, of course nothing major happened but the way Teruaki grabbed her hand and ran was pretty sweet, I wonder if Higa ever washes that hand ever again lol. Also funny reveal that the scariest monster of them all was the one that’s supposed to be a good guy lol, gods can be pretty scary too when you think about it.

The bike bit was also fun, I was thinking maybe the reason Okinawa is so much more car based than the rest of Japan could have been the American influence, but there’s actually way more reasons than I thought to not ride a bike, and they all made sense, only Kyan trying to use the slippery road as an excuse for falling off the bike was poorly executed lol. There was a nice little Dragon Ball reference here too, I wonder if Master Roshi ever has to deal with salt damage lol. The cicada part was cool as well, I could tell right away that was a cicada sound but I can understand why one could mistake it for a bird, cicadas actually used to scare the hell out of me as a kid but I think they’re cool fellas now.

And lastly the beach bit was funny, they kinda baited us into thinking it was a wholesome thing but nah everyone was just bored lol, I guess if you live next to the ocean all the time then that’s understandable, it does seem like a really good spot for that kind of thing.

Well, we got handholding as expected, but not all the way back. Time moves very quickly in this show.

Finally, a moment for Kana alone with Teru.

Now, every time I see Kame House, I will think of salt corrosion.

Noted: having a bike in Okinawa is not worth it at all. But watching Hina deny that she can't ride a bike was fun and adorable.

Like Yae(best girl, even if she was in the running, she's too powerful), I was hoping Teru would princess carry Kana out of there, but I guess holding hands is good enough.....

My favorite anime airing right now. I'm going to say it Higa is better than Kyan easily. The dynamic is just much better between them so i hope they win the show. Okinawa really has alot of like monsters and superstitions. My country doesn't have anything so maybe we are just boring. They tried to make it romantic when Teru grabbed Higa's hand. But it was purely to get out of there. Don't like overcomplicate things like that. It reminds me of those like indirect kiss things which just are stupid. Very cool episode I'm glad I am watching this show.

The test of courage was educational and also pretty funny with how Teru and Kana reacted and screamed in horror. It was also fitting for Yae to play as one of the costumed characters to try and spook the two of them closer. Once again, she's the best wingwoman of this series. =)

Another thing that I really enjoyed in terms of education is the lack of bicycles in Okinawa. It became a long montage of Hina and Kana firing away the reasons, from the hilly terrain, salt water from storms, UV rays and others. Hina amused me when she tried to ride a bicycle and failed before thinking of an excuse for why she fell over. I never knew that Okinawa constructed some of their roads from coral, but since she was cycling on dirt instead, as Teru pointed out, her excuse backfired on her.

It might be early autumn for them, but to me, it still looks like a beautiful summer day, so it'll be interesting to see more of how the weather changes for them in the cooler months ahead.

This episode felt like it was gonna end the series already with all the reminiscing and the side-characters making an appearance in one chapter.

Seriously, this is a such a nice and friendly show
every time it makes me happy to see the young folks having their SOL moments on Okinawa.
No bad feelings about romance going anywhere, it's fun as it is.

Wasn't the test of courage rather about the lengths of Kana's shorts? XD (sorry)
When the monsters get between your legs you will die loool

especially funny episode this time about the downside of bicycles on Okinawa, maybe a bit exaggerated since people existed there when cars weren't a thing.

Aside from that awesome and wholesome character interaction and useful knowledge about Okinawa.

No tan lines visible, so those must be her usual legnth. The test of courage was more about how much Kaana blushes, and how little effort and courage she puts into advancing her interest in Teeruu. Any Texas gal I know would have locked lips with her interest in that situation, and maybe more.

@leonardobarba Lived in Clearwater, Fl. for years. Rust & corrosion due to saltwater was definitely a thing! LOL
