Man, this show is just great!

15 episodes in and not a single ‘good episode’ for they’ve all been ‘great’ so far, imho.

It was nice to see the two trio hanging around this episode! Shigure is a really fun person to have around but Ayame is just .. hilarious on another level, great stuff! “You’ll have to obey me” followed by those dumbfounded expressions was just the best. Kyo and Yuki usual moments throughout this episode but a really nice focus on Tohru’s part too. Yuki walking up to and consoling Tohru in his rat form was a really nice addition too lol. On another note, more of Hatori’s sad love life. I nearly teared up this episode too but it’s great to know that there’s a possible love interest for him around (that being the oh-so-Great teacher lol). Really curious to see how that’ll play out as a whole! Lol, didn’t think she dumped Shigure or even had any sort of connection to the Soma family for that matter.

Anyway, looking forward to more from this show as always!

A fun episode Every time that Aya and Shigure come together, it is more than sure that they will make us laugh that couple of crazy people, hahaha. It was pleasant to see the trio of friends chatting.

I'm glad that the tension that Yuki and Kyo had at the beginning of the episode calmed down, although I still want to know why they were worried.
Tooru is like medicine for them. It's all a love 😁.

I said it before, and I say it now ... Hatori is one of my favorite characters in this anime. He is a good man, a man with a heavy burden and a noble mission "So that those sweet smiles do not become bitter".

Ps: Who would say that the teacher of Tooru, is the ex of Shigure 😯 ?. She looks like Kyo, LOL.

It's been a few weeks since I've last seen an episode of this show, so I can't exactly remember what's going on with the whole hat thing. I'm assuming it has something to do with Yuki's childhood. Shigure, always seeking to brighten the mood, is a master manipulator at his prime, though. He was able to excellently convince Tohru to join his cause, knowing Yuki and Kyo would follow. Shigure's poor editor was hilarious, both in her initial reaction and her subsequent phone call.


Cats (2019)

The reaction to Ayame appearing out of nowhere was perfect. Him and Shigure still have a weird relationship, though. It's always cute seeing Yuki and Kyo getting flustered when they say something embarrassing in front of Tohru. Not gonna lie, a part of me hopes Hatori DOESN'T get back together with Kana. I don't want this to become a NTR show. "You should show this aggressive side of yours to Yuki." This won't end well (spoiler: it didn't).

It was being an average episode until Ayame showed up. Such a lovable character, honestly.

Quite heartwarming episode overall. The talk both Shigure and Ayame had with Hatori was definitely my favorite part. I really like the friendship they share and hope Harori can find happiness someday.

Oh my, this is one of my fav episodes so far. Everything was okay until my beloved Mr Fabulous (aka as Ayame) appeared from nowhere to my complete shock and fun.
Those BL jokes still made me laugh since I love Takahiro Sakurai and Yuichi Nakamura. These two are amazing.
That Kyo and Yuki interaction while turning into their zodiac forms also made me smile, these two are just precious.

I hope I will be able to see more grms like that

This episode was a bit boring but it was better than ep 14.

Tooru is cute.

So Yuki is the one who gave Tohru the hat when they're younger? And what's up with Kyo 😆

Anyway, I find it cute when Yuki (rat form) was surrounded by other rats lol.

And Aya never fail to amaze me even he's an idiot. He really cares for Hatori.

And so Mayu is Tohru's homeroom teacher? And she used to date Shigure? Wow. Will they cross path again?

I can't skip the ending song. I love it so much :D

Shigure pops into school every so often, I'm surprised he hasn't run into Mayu-sensei hehe. Would love to see their reactions :}

On another note, we were all blessed to see a handsome sleeping Hatori, huuuuu~~~ >////< why is he so handsome? <3 :')

How Tohru and I are similar:
- Both will feel like we've always done something wrong, even though we haven't. We both blame ourselves for a change in someone's personality, even though it isn't our fault.

It made me sad when they were like to Shingure "nice guys get taken advantage of". Because that's really not the case, not with all girls anyway. I'm someone who genuinely really appreciates a nice guy, and would never try to take advantage of them, and it makes me so angry when girls do.

Ah this was such a heartwarming episode, Tohru, as always, just pure and innocent and god her laugh that sweet ol’ laugh she has, it just makes me smile somehow. Anyways that poor editor is definitely the most unfortunate beings on the planet if she has to deal with Shigure pulling crazy stunts like driving off to a summer home with Hatori, the boys as well as Tohru.

And Ayame makes another appearance! My god he really makes me laugh, every time he’s onscreen. He’s an idiot but damn it he’s so lovable and flamboyant that I can’t have him any other way. And he does raise about Hatori, the latter deserves as much happiness in his life the talk he had with him and Shigure was definitely a highlight in this episode. I honestly think a chill episode of having Tohru hang out with Yuki and Kyo at the lake is honestly what we needed after the emotional heavy episodes. Great episode is all I can say.

The lakeside house vacation was supposed to be a break from the drama, but instead, it peeled back more layers of our beloved characters. Shigure's motives, always a mix of playful and profound, set the stage for moments of raw emotion and reflection. And Ayame, oh Ayame, you bring laughter but also such insightful perspectives on moving on and living despite past pains. 🐍

Seeing Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo trying to navigate their feelings and each other's company, adds so much depth to their journey. Tohru's boundless empathy, her way of soothing without words, is just pure magic. ✨

And that final scene with Mayuko looking at the wedding photo—what a way to tie in more threads of past and present, hinting at interconnected stories and emotions yet to be explored. Can't help but speculate more about Yuki and Kyo's silent battles and what lies ahead for Hatori. ❤️

Ayame is right that Hatori should move on, but he is wrong for getting mad at Kana for doing the same. Technically, Hatori broke up with her, and she had to eventually move on. Though Ayame is a realistic depiction of friends after a break up. You automatically side with your friend, unless they're just blatantly wrong. So the bias makes sense, even if it is unfair.

Yuki seems to hate his brother for some reason, and I don't understand it. At least with his hatred of Kyo, they've been bickering for so many years that it's understandable. With his brother, his brother genuinely wants to connect and Yuji is just like "fuck off".
