| Heh, Nagomu can be a bit sensitive sometimes. This episode was okay, with Kanoko being featured more and I'm starting to like more of her personality. Got to see a little bit more of Itsuka's background and childhood, and I think it's adorable. |
 |
| The flashbacks of the dad were nice, he seems like a nice guy from the little bits we saw of him ... but then again he abandoned his kid, a man who does that is irredeemable. The new girl, Kanoko, seems nice too, but what is with these good for nothing protagonists scoring best girls, i mean she's obviously here because of the main-kun after all. |
 |
| The Yoiyama Gion Matsuri, where both Nagomu and Itsuka have relatively different experiences of loved ones, the most prominent being Itsuki finding her missing father from a passing resemblance. And when word goes out, Nagomu rushes out in a hurry. Kanoko Matsukaze makes her debut, and is someone whom Nagomu wanted to bring as his former girlfriend but got dumped instead so much that she stress eats mitarashi dango. I mean, when you're dating for 10 years and suddenly your significant other just ran back home being so carefree, yeap. Anyways, Itsuki got back to school, and that's what matters. Bringing Kanoko back to Ryokushou, and Nagomu essentially got a reality check by her as well, oh man Nagomu's such a useless bump. And for someone whom prefers Western sweets, she digs into wagashi sweets like she knows them by heart. And the Yoiyama festival, Nagomu is becoming more of a father figure to Itsuki, which speaks volumes. A chill episode. |
 |
| OHHH..... It's Gion matsuri, one of the three biggest festivals in Kyoto. Wakaayu with red bean paste originated from the Kanto region and Kanoko comes from Tokyo. Well, that makes sense. tbh, Nagomu and Kanoko should get back together and resume their relationship. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| That misunderstanding between Itsuka and Kanoko was pretty hilarious. Itsuki looked cute in her yukata. |

| I'm gonna ruin my sleep schedule just for this anime. That's some delicious Mitarashi Dango. That hit me to the nostalgia trip. |
 |
| Another very sweet episode, she just blended into the store so easily! His dad basically punched him two times for the same reason~ |
 |
| very very sweet heartwarming episode |
 |
| Looks like there’s some serious misunderstanding between Nagomu and Kanoko regarding their relationship. Well, at least Kanoko is in Kyoto so they can talk it out and clear things up. She clearly still has feelings for him and it seems like it’s mutual. I really feel bad for Itsuka. Her dad honestly sounds like a real deadbeat. Kid is chasing after someone who literally abandoned her. I’m surprised the kid doesn’t hate her old man, it would be pretty understandable in her situation. Her dad is totally undeserving of her love. Nagomu is a much better father figure. He’s there for her and he cares, that’s more than anyone can say about her pops. |

| First episode I was feeling an 8/10. Next episode brought it down to a 7/10. And this one has brought it up to a 9/10. Can't believe I almost skipped over such a heart-warming anime. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| This has been bugging me since episode 1 but Itsuka's father looks a hella lot like Nagomu's bandmate senpai. Now I wonder if there will be any connection between those two later on... And the woman from next episode's preview looks like an adult Itsuka. Just saying. Anyways, another heartwarming episode. As for Kanoko, she's attractive and cute and all that but the fact of her abandoning MC just because he understandably prioritized his family over her leaves a lot to be desired. |
| Well Itsuka still needs to get over her father but it needs to be done fast i understand she wants to see her father but if she keeps following random men she will get in danger which isn't good. And the reunion was funny guess the guys need to set a lot right if they keep working together like that but it will be interesting the see what happens next. |
| So Nogomu ran into her ex-girlfriend Kanoko while looking for Itsuka at Sanzen-In temple. Don't know why she came all the way from Tokyo to Kyoto, but it looks like she's going to be a regular at the shop. Itsuka gets to go to festival with Kanoko although its bittersweet not being able to go with her father at least she can enjoy the festival with Nogomu. |
 |
| Caught up to the show and watched today’s ep as well. Was gonna skip over this one but I’m glad I didn’t. A really wholesome and heartwarming show. Reminds me of Hanasaku Iroha mixed with Uchi Musume. Kanoko just made what was already a great show into an even better one. Really loved she and Nagomu’s dynamic today. She’s so cute Feel really bad for Itsuka. She desperately needs a dad. Looking forward to seeing how everyone grows together as a family. |

|
| Nope, can't say I like Kanoko really. I feel like she's particularly emblematic of the show's problem with constantly undercutting its serious tone: her misunderstandings with Nagomu don't really make sense and are just not overly funny, and I felt like her introduction undercut the tension of Itsuka being lost in Ohara. The continued physical violence at Nagomu's expense is also continuing to be remarkably unfunny, and I kinda feel like the show is really tripping itself up with this weak humour. That said, I still felt really bad for Itsuka after seeing that she still hopes or believes that her father will come back for her one day, despite all evidence to the contrary. And while I didn't need Kanoko to spell it out so obviously, it's nice to see that Itsuka is starting to accept Nagomu as a surrogate father of sorts. With the way this seems to be going, I'm very much expecting that her father will end up coming back and the cour will end on some drama relating to that, but maybe I'll be proven wrong. |
| Yea.. I'm increasing the rating from 8/1o to 9/10.. this episode just easily won me.. I love how chill the episode was and yet it had such a beautiful and pleasant feeling to it.. The high school girl and now the EX.. One can really appreciate the realism the characters show while making it goofy enough to make the viewers giggle.. Next is the Beach episode.. LES GOO |
| I like Kanoko but girl really? He tells you his dad is in the hospital and asks you to go with him to check on him. Then you say "Sorry, I like Western sweets" and leave. How do you even get the idea that he dumped you when if anything it's the other way around |
| Such a chill and heart-warming episode. I am curious to know the circumstances which led to Itsuka's father abandoning her. |
 |
| I love how peaceful this anime is. The episode is quite exciting. Seeing Nagomu act as a father is good |

| More Nagomu and Kanako ship please! I'm glad she got a Job in Kyoto considering their "break up" was basically a misunderstanding. Itsuka's mother next week? im excited...POOL EPISODE lol |

| This was a good one, after Itsuka skips school to follow someone that looks like her dad from behind, we meet Kanoko, Nagomu’s ex girlfriend, and from the looks of it their breakup looks like a misunderstanding from both sides lol, hopefully that means they’ll end up together again at some point because I love the moments those two had. I also loved the genius method of hypnotizing the shop owner to give Nagomu more time to find Itsuka, and it ended up taking 30 tries to snap him out of it lol, the best method. I also loved the festival bit at the end, Kanoko looked nice in her yukata, and it helped Nagomu and Itsuka get closer in a really nice scene. And it looks like Kanoko is here to stay since she got a job nearby in Kyoto, yeah I definitely hope she gets back with Nagomu at some point lol. Also nice to see some folks enjoying the show more after this episode, I’m definitely really into this one myself, such a nice show to end the day with too. |
| Hands down the best new show this season, if not the best show period |
| I like how viewers here misunderstood the misunderstanding between Nagomu and Kanoko. Misunderstand-ception? Nagomu reads the letter and tells Kanoko that he’s going back to Kyoto indefinitely to look after the shop and asks her to come along. Kanoko thinks he’s joking given his personality while also getting mad at him for not considering her view and situation first, hence “I like western sweets more” (obviously a lie given how much she knows about local sweets). Kanoko comes back later on and finds a note saying “I’m sorry” and realizes that it wasn’t a joke. Technically, Nagomu did dump her and chose his family over her. Kanoko also feels guilty and regretful for not properly discussing it with him. I think Kanoko doesn’t mind going to Kyoto with him. It’s just that it happens so suddenly that she needs time to plan and settle everything in Tokyo first. IMO, Nagomu is in the wrong here because he decides everything so quickly due to not having any responsibility and liability in Tokyo such as job, rent, loan, family etc, while Kanoko is in the opposite. |

| Truth is absolute but human perception of truth is always relative. |
| so it was a misunderstanding 😭 kanoko left in the heat of the moment bc she was angry, but nagomu took it as a breakup. then he apologizes to her through paper and she took That as him breaking up with her LMAO and god she seems to be still p whipped for him, hope things go well between them but im enjoying their relationship rn festival scene was soooo cute. itsuka being filled with joy :]] |
| It was a really heartwarming episode <3 I hope we will see Kanoko again in the next episodes... The way she broke up with Nagomu was so sad... They are so cute together :D |
 |
| Ah i just realized that Itsuka father actually Matsuoka. Holy shit, harem king abandoned daughter here while pursuing his dream xd. I like how the direction of the dialogue between Itsuka and Kanoko was about Nagomu and Itsuka story being paralleled. Now its about Gion Matsuri, promised from the past, and how they both dumped because of pretty much 'same' reason. Alright... A misunderstanding over a misunderstatement, a very complicated matter occured between Nagomu and his ex, after the past event happened. Its almost makes me more misunderstood of it xd. But very glad everything solved out well enough and literally ended with another happy conclusion with their visit at those nice little festival. Because somehow Itsuka actually led them reunited again, and will be recurring indefinitely for the later part of episodes. Nice! Also, yeah, its also nice having a cute Itsuka moment, slowly opened up her heart to the carefree-easygoing guy like Nagomu to be a 'stand-in' father. Lets see next.... |

| I seriously hate how stupid the guy is ... Everybody else is capable and good at what they are doing, from the old parents to his (ex) girlfriend, and even the child, but the guy is so annoyingly inept at basically everything, even music, which should be his strong suit, he doesn't seem to be good at. Easygoing and free spirit doesn't mean inept at everything, everybody should have something they are good at, so far we haven't seen anything he is even not the worst at. |
 |
| Aye, let's fucking go, super happy that Kanoko is staying in Kyoto, really like her a whole lot already. Also hope Kanoko and Nagomu gets back together eventually. Felt really sad for Itsuka at the first half of the episode, but hey, at least she has a stand-in mother and father now that are better than her real parents :D. Looks like we're meeting her real mother though, I wonder why she left in the first place. Itsuka's friends reaction to her getting on the bus was hilarious though lmao. Really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| I am confused, who dump who here? In flashback it looks like Kanoko dumped Nagomu but then later she said Nagomu dumped her, heck they are kinda confused later in festival when talking about it. |

Ahhh now i understand thanks for the explanation, i was almost lost in whole episode about this matter lol.. IMO, Nagomu is in the wrong here because he decides everything so quickly due to not having any responsibility and liability in Tokyo such as job, rent, loan, family etc, while Kanoko is in the opposite. That's why they complete each other imo, one of the perfect couple is the couple who are opposite each other to cover their own weaknesses. |

| Just like the previous episodes, I can still feel the SoL atmosphere. Hopefully in the future it will be better. |

| I was kind of skeptical to watch the 3rd episode at first since the previous episode was kind of weak. But thank goodness! This episode renewed that serene feeling that I got from the first episode. And this one is even better! A good balance of comedy and heart warming scenes. |

 |
| I'm really getting attached to these characters, I love all of them and their interactions. The Ex seems cool, hoping they can bury the hatchet and get back together(?) |
 |
| I still feel the whole “father figure” thing is being forced and that was the case with the hand-holding at the festival too. Enjoyable episode though. The love interest seems like she’ll be a decent addition. |
| Good episode. The new character is lovable. They're all pretty realistic IMO. |
| heartwarming and enjoyable to watch !! |
