Yeah, it’s safe to say that was a date, and Yamada absolutely knew what day it was but let’s not tell Ichikawa that lol. But damn what a good date it was, perhaps one of the best Christmas dates I’ve seen, Ichikawa may have deducted himself a lot of points but I’m sure in Yamada’s book he got a perfect score, tho I will say I did get secondhand embarrassment from when Yamada had to order for Ichikawa, mainly because she seemed like his mom there lol.

And man I can’t believe they held hands the entire way home without at least Ichikawa bringing attention to it, and uncensored at that! These two have come such a long way from episode 1 it’s insane. And that final scene was interesting, but the imaginary manga character laying in the bed with him at the end was a funny visual lol. And I absolutely can’t believe there’s only 2 episodes left of this show, it doesn’t feel right at all.

The last 2 episodes were absolute peak, I am sad to see this show go in 2 more weeks. I really hope it gets a season 2

Kensuke Ushio's score for this is amazing! Does anyone know if it will be released officially?

It's not even appropriate at all. For one he's not even doing "mansplaining" Mansplaining would be explaining what a pro model should think of fashion, but he was explaining how a loser nerd thinks of fashion. So it shouldn't be in there anyway. With some localising I can understand, the problem is that it's not even a correct translation. What Ichikawa is actually saying here is ''oh shit, did i just give my opinion on fashion to a professional model''.

He basically said he brought up some confusing fashion argument in front of actual pro model (謎のファッション論). Simple as that.

Mansplaining
is completely off in this case. He didn't said that in any condescending manner.

The Italian sub is like "Why I'm talking about my absurd ideas about fashion to a model" yeah. fuck these woke americans
That's the funny thing. The majority of other language subs, in most anime not just this one, seem to actually be way more accurate than America/English subs. Guess what the issue is, one of them has Americans localising, the other doesn't. Funny that. Leave it to America to interject their shit into everything. As per usual.

Ahh, I have to wait another week now, this really relates to me, on how there are things to say and do that I should've done before regretting it all later.

As Ichikawas stated, the time has been moving fast for him that day, I wouldn't want to fumble over it.

But it shows that everything happens for a reason, if he hadn't experienced this at first, he might've either not or wouldn't know how to avoid it the next time.

Good thing hes only 13 years old. But still though time is very limited.

This entire meetup was Anna's idea, from the time she "forgot" to bring the manga and it definitely felt like a date. What's funny is how mature she looks, both from her height and the way she dresses but her mind is not matured yet whereas with Kyoutaro it is kind of the opposite.

Yamada to the rescue when Kyoutaro's sister showed up and shoved him into the dressing room. For some reason he didn't want her to know about them yet, probably due to embarrassment in trying to explain what they are but Anna already thinking into the future and made him promise to introduce her at a later time. Speaking of which, Anna also didn't want Kyoutaro to say Happy New Year yet presumably because she may plan on meeting him again or at least texting each other on the day of. I think Anna may be more into him than he is into her (at least that's how it looks like to me) and I'm looking forward to the remaining episodes to see how their relationship plays out.

  • Once I asked a tall colleague why she always wore black clothes. According to her, dark color mitigates her prominent presence.
  • Yamada failed to have Ichikawa tell she was cute after all.

Avoid american subs, specially the official, "professional" ones.


If he confess Yamada will friendzone him


Are we even watching the same show?

Dude, she's literally even more interested in him than the other way around (which is a lot).

Do you blush at your opposite sex friend, get jealous when he says some1 very different from you is cute and gives indirect hints to her literally all the time? If you do, you're just into her.

Not so mindblowing episode. Its just your classical dating situation for our main. I feel you, Ichikawa. Its so hard having a good time with those pretty tall model, right? His monologue manage to still stay on point. Good good. Then, holy moly, Yamada, way too adorable this time. Especially with the, ho ho ho, Yamada Santa. So fucking cute! No wonder Ichikawa can't let the memories go and even being haunted by the character he red because of its so damn good memories.

The next will be the end of year event, visiting shrine, yada-yada something else, and might be leading into the big event for them: confessing time!

Only 2 more episodes to go and here we have the Christmas Eve event for both of them.

It covers chapter 45 to 48 (and a bit of 49) and to be honest, these were one of my least favorite events in the story. I found it awkward due to Ichikawa's constant self-doubt but somehow he finds the courage to believe a bit in himself and in Yamada and helps make the date end in a good tone.

It is a damn shame this show only lasts 2 minutes. Nor does it help how much I look forward to watching the next episode. But again, they pack so many beautiful scenes every week. I thought the hand holding scene in blue was interesting. I figure maybe a light blue or sky blue could set the mood better, but eh. The implications they portray by showing and not telling are always masterfully done. I still get a chuckle from the commentary the librarian gives on how things made clear are better said than done. Or something along those lines. (Ep.6 "Sometimes people don't realize the obvious until we write it out for them."- Library-san )

Anyway kinda sad they couldn't fit in the dressing room text msg from the manga. Aside from that, the walking home scene of the mc holding hands was too cute. Also, a woman who picks the restaurant and knows what she wants to eat off the menu? I thought I died and went to heaven.

All in all, I think last week's episode was the pinnacle of the show. WIth two episodes left now. There is so much to cover in an hour that this anime hopefully gets a second season. But at least all good things must come to an end.

IDK who needs to hear this but the date was awfull. The whole thing from start to finish. It only lasted so long because Yamada made a lot and i mean A LOT of effort to keep it going. I don't understand why everyone sees this and thinks it was good or nice or whatever else but just look at how many lines whatever the shy-shota is called had for an entire day... He had maybe 5-6 times where he talked and half of those lines were some mumble bs that meant nothing and nobody else could hear. Imagine going on a date with someone that refuses to look at you for the entire day and mumbles shit all the time and says almost nothing for more than 3-4 hours, or treats you like he is embarassed to be seen in public with you, and pulls away from you all the time and does nothing but stare at his feet. Just think how you would feel after a cpouple of hours with such a person. I hope they never write something like this again but this comes from Japan so at this point i am dissapointed with myself for expecting to see a good story with properly fleshed out characters that are not wimps bing rewarded for being creeps and stalkers and spineless.

The season has shown that he is incredibly thoughtful and perceptive of her feelings. She noticed every thoughtful thing he did. I think its about as realistic as you get in a anime. Doesnt hurt that her favorite manga is basically an older version of him as MC.

I was sure I'd responded to this but hey whatever. I'll go into a little more detail.

Of course mansplaining fits, not because he was mansplaining but because that entirely fits Kyoutarou's mindset, he is so insecure in himself that he too often thinks the worst of Anna and even though the original script would be unlikely to use such an anglicised term it is entirely in keeping with all the other events where he's deducting points even though he has done nothing wrong.

Not saying I think mansplaining is a great choice, but it certainly isn't something to get get all self righteously abusive about.

If there was an award for "Most Improved Show" throughout this season or maybe even this year, this show would probably win it. Compared to how it started, it's great to see how it's turned out for the rest of the run, especially in the last few episodes. It was a nice "date" per say this episode, even though Ichikawa was still lacking confidence and there was an awkward atmosphere from time to time surrounding the date. It makes the date as a whole more interesting though, and with more growth and development of his personality, it'll be interesting to see how he evolves down the line. Good to see Yamada though be proactive and show Ichikawa that she does care for him a lot. She exchanged pictures privately to him, got him to help her pick outfits, eat and have fun together during Christmas Eve. Was a fun overall episode in a refreshing setting to say the least.

Agreed! I thought long about another show that improved and elevated itself from episode to episode and couldn't think of anything quite like this. The show is at a high-point right now but from a few episodes ago this phenomenon was very apparent.

Just incredible romcom progression overall! My only gripe is that if it jumps even higher in the last two episodes, there won't be enough scale left to rate it.

Yea, that turned me off so much I had subconsciously forgotten about it. Fucking localizers throwing their own ideologies in there for good measure... makes me sick! Still better than a dub, I suppose.
