| Am I missing something here? As I watched this show, I couldn't tell whether it was implied that Nagomu knows that his senpai is Itsuka's father or not. Like the show makes it very obvious to the viewer, but it's unclear to me whether Nagomu knows this or not. Shouldn't he though? I'm assuming Nagomu knew his senpai's surname, and Itsuka has the same surname. Itsuka has also mentioned that her father played guitar so that should be an extra giveaway when combined with the surname. On top of that, Nagomu's parents should know too, right? In episode 11 around the 19:00 minute mark, Itsuka has a flashback about the day she was left at Ryokushou. |
| I truly think he doesn't know. No one told him who left Itsuka at ryokushou. Both of them talk about Tomoe but none of them say his name or some description besides "he plays guitar" |
RommPlz said: I truly think he doesn't know. No one told him who left Itsuka at ryokushou. Both of them talk about Tomoe but none of them say his name or some description besides "he plays guitar" We know that Nagomu knows Itsuka's full name. She introduces herself to him as Yukihira Itsuka in episode 1. Nagomu also knows that Itsuka is looking for her father who plays guitar because she mistook him for her father at the station, also in episode 1. So the only way I can see Nagomu not knowing is if he doesn't know that his senpai's surname is also Yukihira, which I'm assuming he should know. But isn't this interesting? The show didn't really imply one way or the other even through 12 episodes (since Nagomu learned all of this practically in episode 1). |
| I think that’s the whole point. They all know the identity of Itsuka’s father, and they know he is a deadbeat. That’s why they make no effort to find him. Maybe she’s better off without the bum. |

Maybe she’s better off without the bum. Hmmm, I don't think that they make no effort to find him because they think he's a deadbeat; although if that's your interpretation I won't try to refute that. Personally, the way I see it is that they understand that Itsuka's father might not be able to care for her to the best of his ability at the moment. And since her father is someone that they care about (given his friendship with Nagomu), they are willing to care for his daughter as well until he's able to pick himself back up. But that's kind of a separate topic haha. I just find it interesting that the series didn't make any strong implications as to whether Nagomu knows who Itsuka's father is. Like they almost left it completely in the grey area since even from this thread people seem to think he might know or he might not. I feel like he should know, but the show itself didn't seem to verify that in any concrete way. |
Nyamaste said: hmmm I thought he was oblivious, but you make some really good points. I'm interested in rewatching with a little different perspective. If you do end up rewatching, try to see if you notice anything that hints strongly towards him either knowing or not knowing. As I mentioned, I didn't seem to perceive anything from the show that particularly validated either. But if you find anything, please let me know! |
| Nagomu didn't know his senpai (Tomoe) is Itsuka's father because |
Oh okay. Well I wouldn't say "obvious" for those of us who haven't read the manga, which I'm assuming you have since the information you just shared wasn't in the anime yet. Do his parents know? If you look at my original post, it mentions the interaction that they had with Itsuka's father, so I feel like they should know. |
