Well that was quite a dramatic reunion. Nino still recalls all the time she remembers from her past. How nostologic.

At least Alice was being honest this episode. I think seeing her again with Momo really gave them a sense of connection. Nino looked great in her red outfit imo this episode. Seems that she has better confidence since her talk with Momo until the end.

What a kiss!

Momo still ignores her, and Yuzu, now realized who he is, is not so friendly anymore.

As suggested by his manager, Momo decided to talk to her. He apologized to her about various things including the audition and he confessed to her. "The sign" thing was his "like" and that he has someone else he likes. Twinkle Little Star sung together. She had no choice but to say she used to love him, too, but in truth she still loves him.

She doesn't carry his guitar anymore.

Yuzu thinks his heart is broken (she smiles to hide her sadness, though) and decided to remain her friend.

At first, she sang well when recording Canariya, but she keeps thinking about what happened and got worse. After hearing that, Yuzu kissed her.

That was some reunion. Momo doesn't like Nino anymore, but she still likes him no matter how much he refuses her. She tried to sing in the studio, but couldn't continue because she can't get over the fact that Momo likes someone else and that she still likes him. That kiss from Yuzu though.

Good episode.

Momo initially ignored Nino but it was nice that he came around and both him and Nino finally had a little talk. Momo doesn't have feelings for Nino anymore but looks like Nino still does but she decides to lie that she doesn't. :(
Momo also seems to indirectly hint that he has feelings for the woman she stays with. If this does end up being true, I really hope Nino and Yuzu get together.

It's nice to see Nino smile often. :)

Yuzu sure got angry when he was explaining the situation to the other two. xDD

The recording was going well till Nino's emotions got the better of her, that ending kiss though. :3

I don't think Momo likes other person other than Nino.. Maybe he said that because it's his way to protect his music or something but idk
However, I really hope that Nino starts looking at Yuzu differently now that he kissed her.. I'm secretly rooting for him to win her heart

if after this Nino doesn't see Yuzu as how he want her to look at him, I will punch her in her head XD come on, Yuzu deserves it, after all, Momo has been a coward all this time and being a bitch agains't Nino. It's about time she realized that tho, would be really sad for Yuzu if after all this time, he still becomes "Friend A"

I wonder, if Momo really has someone else or if it was just made up, to keep Nino at distance.

Yuzu going for the kiss, was quite the bold move.

Was waiting for this! <3 I love how this was implemented. Alice had me there for a moment, with her pouring her heart out and ugly scream crying.

The characters aren't gullible about their own feelings like in most shoujo manga. That's a huge plus.

I'm disappointed that they didn't show the lolita-ish dress that she had in the manga but rather just the outfit she had before in a different color scheme, I was looking forward to seeing the beautiful dress instead. I suppose the blazer + skirt just easier to draw though.

Am I a genius ? Bcs I expected Yuzu to kiss Nino. Still, that was awesome. He stole her first kiss, Momo will kill the little shrimp once he knows about it. Can't wait to see Nino's reaction. And wait a sec. Didn't he friendzoned himself and said he wanted just to be her friend ?
Anyway, great episode.

Well, that was quite the roller coaster. I was worried that Yuzu and Momo may have gone at each other. I am so glad they didn't.

I think Momo is lying and he still likes/loves Nino.

I think Yuzu's kiss will be brushed off. As much as I want to like Nino, She is a bit of an air head. So she probably won't realize what that kiss means to Yuzu. I hope I'm wrong.

Lastly, am I the only one who yelled no! when she started up with the Twinkle twinkle little star again? ugh!

You also could hear me yelling NOOOOOOO!!!

I think you are right, she may be too air head to realize what happened.

It was a fun episode. I think that anime is getting better.

I'm just gonna say it...GOOD 4 Yuzu! Things seem to be intensifying as the love tensions become evident to everyone involved and even though Momo says he no longer loves Nino I think he is hiding his true feelings for her. I can't wait to see how they progress the plot from here.

Omg Episode 8! Omg! 😱😱 it left me completely speechless and such cliffhangers…. Dramatic and very unexpected reunion. The holding hand made me bite my lips but i did liked the little talk and the singing warmed my heart as i sang along hahah <3 But Momos said he doesn't like Nino, Mark my word he's gonna regret his chose. We all know he does.

The Episode was kinda sad but still OH MY GOD, YASSSSS YUZU!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Am i the only one who was jump on my bad and screaming YES!?!? Finally taking the initiative and being assertive. #ManlyYuzu But still Nino is as dense as they come! I just hope that Nino takes him seriously and not just brush him of 😭😖

It's amazing how their happiness is so connected to each other! Like someone is gonna end up a bit said if the if someone is happy. kinda deep. Love does effect how you feel everyday! One minute happy, second sad just byt one words. Crazy but true. ❤️❤️ Ohh so sad everyone is pain deep inside and they want to scream their feelings like a canary but they cage their feelings (as you do). I wish it end in a way that makes them truly happy. Ohhh I love everything about this show!!! 🤗

Quick fan theory... Does Momo ship Nino X Yuzu?
Think about it, Momo playing the bad guy to push Yuzu to comfort Nino. He said that "This is it" to Yuzu too. I was hoping it wasn't so because I'm all team Momo, but I can respect this, Momo trying to move on.
The sad part being that he's probably confusing the motherly love of his manager because his actual mom is the absolute worst. But, this is all nuts my opinion for now.

I'm not a guy in love (or lust) so i can't relate, but i get what you mean... The whole thing just seems soo off, and doesn't really fit my impression of Yuzus character.
I know they simply HAD to kiss soon, but in that situation and context it just really seemed out of character to me.

I'm not a good judge of character so I can't say one way or another (most of the time), but I have seen good arguments presented that an uninvited kiss is potentially rude. And in any case, as you said, it's hard to determine how he thought it would help, which is how I judged that scene. On the other hand, we all make mistakes. It will be interesting to see how Nino reacts.

I'm happy they kissed but it was not a "happy" kiss, so yep.
I just watch this to get me frustrated I guess.

It would be so so so so much more interesting if Momo actually likes someone else and just treasure Nino as a friend and respect her for her voice.
But, let's be honest, that is probably not gonna happen lol

Oona_Shea said:

Nope. I yelled and muted that part XD

@Sugaminny
Yeah, about the kiss, that was a total mistake from Yuzu's part. I can understand why he did it, going by the episode and all those feelings he was bottling up, BUT, it is not going to help him. It is not that Nino is going to be "Oh, I was just here crying because of another dude but now I love you because you kissed me" lol
And yeah, an unrequerited kiss can be REALLY RUDE and I would not hold against Nino if she was legitimately mad...she is too naive for that I guess tho XD

I agree: Yuku did that out of Nino's consent, he's shouldn't have done that without thinking about Nino's feelings first- he should be thinking about Nino concern before he went and do that. -_- As a Momo support myself, I don't like what happened either but then again, the way I'm seeing most likely Yuzu will have the endgame with Nino by the end of the manga- so i guess to most fans it's perfectly normal for the guy to steal the girl's first kiss towards the guy who she's going to end up with anyways: even though she doesn't love him yet at this moment ( she needs to sort out of her feelings for Momo before she can move on: Yuzu forced a kiss on her before doing so which is not right).

I'm surprise no one here mentioned about Momo x Nino moment they had in this episode ( I know almost no one ships them together, but I do): I have to say it's sweet and yet tragic: why Momo has to lie to himself saying that he only liked Nino from the past ( not her current self)- I understand what he's getting at, since he change in the past six years he assume Nino did too: they are no longer the same people when they were children: where they lives were happy and no worries- saying that is his way from keeping distant from her: but she also lied to him as well, saying the same thing. I wonder what Momo meant where he says in likes someone else: most likely he just said that so Nino will keep distant from him so there's no one else ( or could it be what he meant is the current Nino where she's challenging him in regards to music business and will carry out promise they made as children saying using her voice as the guide to link them together- therefore, he still needs to understand and know more of the current Nino before he's certain about his affections- so for now he's keeping it in suspense for Nino). The part after that where I got happy to see, I really love the scene where they both sang "twinkle little star" together is so sweet and nostalgic for them, on the way out Nino hold Momo's hand and he hold on to hers, SO CUTE!!!!!!! <3

Honestly, its so sad that Yuzu kisses her. Remember when they were children? He sang for the last time in order to stop her from crying, but he no longer can do so. All he wants is for her to sing. So he doesn't know any other way to stop her from crying. If I were Yuzu, I would prob. be crying so hard.

This! My heart </3

Alice needs to realize that Momo has only been a jerk and wake up to the fact that Yuzu is willing to sacrifice his own smile for her's. He already sacrificed his voice for her :( It's too bad that Momo will probably be her choice in the end...

See. Ya'll are thinking Yuzu kissed her because he wanted to make her like him or some shit.

He had no other way to stop her like he did 6 years ago. When shes hysterical, SHE IS HYSTERICAL. Last time he could sing for her but now his singing voice is gone so all he could do to stop her was kiss her.

He didnt think about it. It was a reaction to the situation and Nino will probably be upset/confused or understand why he did it to help her (cause she naive as fuck). I dont think it'll make her like him in an intimate way.

Yuzu I feel cares for Nino so much more than Momo does so I'm gonna be real sad if she ends up with Momo :/
