The culture festival calling for a representative for the cross-dressing competition...and Miyano is chosen. Rather than a beauty contest for females, twist the trope for this one.

This is exactly straight out of a BL manga, and Mya's class want to win it SO BADLY out from their class rep's personal grudge, they roped him into it. Tasuku could'vedone it for his fujoshi-loving girlfriend, but it'd be wise for Miyano to do it instead. Even the Discipline Commitee Chairman knows that Miyano and Sasaki have a thing going on, and a good thing that his older sister is an otaku into cosplay, so geting his help would be beneficial. Playing Old Maid with the Chairman and Taiga is norm to simply goof off, but Sasaki...sure is becoming more bold privately. Stopp second-guessing yourself Mya-chan, it's defo BL btw you and Sasaki.

More manga trading between the two, and Mya-chan is glad that he has Sasaki to discuss his BL interest with. But lo and behold, a coincidental meet between Miyano with his middle school classmate, this Makimura girl that he once liked and catching up on old times, her artistry being influenced by Miyano's cross-dressing for her modelling...and even Sasaki felt the jealousy on that? I understand if you want to protect the one you love, but this excessive feel really just solidifies that Sasaki's feelings are for real.

Referencing back to when Miyano shared to Sasaki about his former love, even though the girls back in his middle school meant no harm in teasing Miyano for his feminine charms, it just irritates him. Welp, Tasuku's girlfriend admitted to hospital, and glad it's just nearby. Resolving their past with the unnecessary fight that Tasuku got injured that Sasaki had to help him intervene at the beginning of the story, probably should invite him to see his girlfriend one day as thanks when she recovers.

The same journey for the two to school while conversing about music, Sasaki has the same interests as do Miyano with trading music CDs. Never would've realized that Sasaki went ahead to purchase the latest BL manga volume ahead of Miyano, but spoilery or not, it made both hearts palpitate.

Hearts go badum, badum.

Every fujoshi/fudanshi in this anime prefer big/tall/buff guy to take the passive role (and I fully agree LOL), but somehow this anime position Sasaki as active role. Or is it too soon to assume the role?

Random offhanded comment about Kuresawa's gf being in the hospital. I wonder if that will come up later. Imagine if she just dies lmao. Would never happen given the series but it would be a good meme.

I thought that after that cute smile at the end of Miyano, Sasaki would just die right on the spot.

Because he wants to respect Miyano’s boundaries. Sasaki is really worried that he’ll scare him off, since Miyano is still dealing with his own feelings and needs space to process them, rather than being pushed into it by physical affection. Sasaki views it as selfish of him to push his own desires onto Miyano before he reciprocates.

I think assuming the role would be missing the point of the series.

That makes sense yeah but someone has to go the first step and a hug isn’t the baddest. Also he hugged him before and Miyano liked it. But i love how sasaki respects him in each way!

What a great episode! Happy to see the other characters being explored more, but I wish Kagiura to appear in this at least once :(
Sasaki is so respectful towards Miyano, it's great to see how much he cares about him and wants to treat him with care. 'Til now, I have no complaints towards the adaptation, it's very true to the manga.
Makimura is one of the few examples of female rep. in BL that isn't a complete pain in the ass. I love her sm, I wish I could see her more in the story tho.

I believe this is kinda irrelevant to this anime right now, it's more focused on the relationship and the feelings between them.

With the culture festival fast approaching, Miyano seems to be put up to cross dressing. There is quite a lot of thought put into the idea, but it doesn't irk him the way it once did thankfully

Miyano's middle school classmate is quite nice, she sounded like a fujoshi or just an obsessed artist at the end...her creativity is refreshing

Kuresawa thanking Sasaki for the fight back in episode one was a nice throwback after last episode's reminiscing scene

Sharing DVDs might be next on the list for Sasaki and Miyano, after Sasaki bought a volume. The growth is nice, can't wait to see the next episode after hearing what it's called~!

Fine episode. We’re still meandering a bit, but there was some progression now that we saw Miyano is over the girl he liked and is inching more toward realizing he likes Sasaki. The crossdressing event feels very contrived, but I’m hoping they do a good job handling it while being true to their characters.

Am I missing something or do they randomly just jump around some scenes? Like for the valentine episode we didn’t actually see that they exchanged chocolates, we just see Miyano saying no to the exchange in the shop and then Sasaki asking how many chocos he got - and then in the next episode they actually show Sasaki bought him the choco from the shop. And in this one, Miyano randomly remembers Sasaki telling him he might grow taller than him, which I remember from the manga, but it wasn’t in the previous episodes, right?

Yeah the Valentine's episode was kinda messy in which parts it actually showed vs what it wanted the viewers to infer (like randomly showing the bag of chocolates on Miyano's desk, which are obviously from Sasaki, but it would've worked a lot better if they had actually shown the gift being given). The height conversation was already adapted in the last episode though, I guess you just missed/forgot about it?

Yes, I somehow skipped ep 6 that’s on me haha. But the valentines one was a bit confusing.

Great episode! So Miyano will be cosplaying for the school culture festival. Seems Sasaki was jealous at Makimura-his old middle school friend who wanted to use him as a model for touching his hand xD. Miyano doesn't like her in that way anymore.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Crossdressing is definitely cuter when done by slightly tall, buff guys. I think it's the gap moe.

Tequila Joseph from JoJo part 2 => hilarious and adorable. But it's a little too goofy.

Hideri from Blend S => cute, but he looks too much like a girl honestly

Lin from Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens => Perfect combination of androgynous features, not too masculine or feminine, absolutely stunning

Miyano's got the right idea!

This episode has two animal puns that didn't quite translate...

Miyano gets asked if he found his "fish in the sea". That's because the word for love is 恋 (koi) and it is pronounced the same as the word for 鯉 (koi fish).

Miyano also gets asked if he's "reedy to go", and the background shows a picture of a frog. The word for "go home" is 帰る (kaeru). The word for frog is カエル (kaeru). Both are pronounced the same.

Hooray for untranslatable Japanese puns!

... This is the episode that solidified my annoyance in Miyano... 😅 Wow, he's pissing me off. I know, I KNOW! 😭 Classic BL behavior in this sort of pairing ... But this is nawt it, sis 🙅😂 like Miyano is almost tooooo clueless. Too indecisive of EVERYTHING! Even the other council members are looking at this boy like "... You serious?!" Just pick, yes or no, do the festival. If yes, proceed without banter 😂 ugh, annoying. Oh if this BL gained a naughty love scene ova!!! 😭 if it ever came to existence... Sasaki would destroy this lil boy with a rageful love 😂 im here for it! 😭Like Sakyou Aya getting. It. Done.!!!!
Nevermind, sorry 🙏 i believe in the process now. I Stan 😂 10/10 for this episode 👏 good job!
