I swear, Takeru is the most shy guy in this show, almost like a complete opposite of Takeru. That makes it more amusing to watch since Mikage gets chances to tease him. And it's cute to see her get that green leaf clover.

Oh and this was a rare chance to see all the main cast together in casual clothes outside of school. Rin is still entertaining as hell to watch imo. This show deserves her and a lot of memories were made this episode.

Urushi being teased again about a date.
Still the couple did get some nice alone time despite being out with the club.

Sakura also seemed to have realised something so there might be hope.

For some reasons I don’t enjoy this EP as much as the first few EP, the first time that I had to X2 to finish the EP.

Probably I’m getting tired of the usual pattern of Ayumu‘s unconscious moves makes Urushi ambush, same for the second couple just a role switched and Sakurako was intentional, Maki teasing Urushi as always, etc.

I wanted see more significant development among the casts I guess is what I’m trying to say. And to me only the very last scene presents some of this in Sakurako.

Well, if you're so shy, why not just hypnotise people into being your friends ? See, problem solved. We also got our first, "accidental fall" moment, a nice memory for both of them, im sure. And where would the romance anime industry be without a good old, golden week.

It's Golden Week, and Tanaka takes the chance to ask Urushi out...though this involves Rin and Takeru too for a club vacation together.

Takeru trying to help Sakurako find a 3-leafed flower as a bookmark, and instead he found 4-leafed clovers. But the most sin of all, is that Takeru almost got baited for being a potential boyfriend that Sakurako appreciates being a friend, but that super lucky floor kabedon feel could spark the flame.

Wherever they go, both Tanaka and Rin sure like to compete against each other, such as speedwalking. Maki is a teaser for sure for teasing Urushi in her clothing style for a date, and the quad hangs out in a game center. And of all the games there, a Shogi overhead shooter is the most absurd. The air hockey doubles...is a nice sight too for Tanaka playing the quarterback, and that intentional kabedon...but to lose to buy soda for the winners.

The offer for couple photos between Tanaka and Urushi, and they were able to get some good photos. And Takeru trying his luck again with Sakurako to understand love, and even sharing a cookie together, that's a direct indirect kiss more than anything.

Good on you Takeru!

Great episode! Ayumu asks Urushi if she wants to get together during golden week.
She accepts and says she doesn't have any plans.
Seems Rin is also going along though! And some others also!
Meanwhile Sakurako has invited Takeru out to hunt for 4 leaf clovers.
Takeru found one but HE STUMBLES VERY FAR FORWARD AND LANDS ON TOP OF HER. WHAT A COINCEDENCE. Could possibly be because of the 4 leaf clover's luck though xD.
Rin and Ayumu start running to their destination where Urushi is walking so they dont have to make her wait lol.
3 people from school including Maki see her waiting and looking at her reflection and accuse her of going on a date xD.
Rin and Ayumu join up with her speaking sooner or later though. They go to the arcade with Takeru also.
Urushi isn't the best at the games though...
Later they play a shogi pawn fighter game and Urushi seems to do well on that one with Ayumu.
And they beat the boss!
Then they play air hockey doubles with Urushi and Ayumu on a team.
Somehow Urushi scores an own goal?!!
Ayumu says he has a plan and they act on it.
He goes behind Urushi to block so she can focus on offense.
Whilst Urushi is flustered at the position she is in, Takeru shoots and scores to win the match...
Urushi tells Ayumu she will do him a favour since they lost because of her and Ayumu acts upon it immediately.
He wants to take a picture with Urushi.
Rin and Takeru meanwhile are trying to get some koala toys at the crane.
And it seems they caught quite a few.
The pictures Ayumu and Urushi took were nice.
Someone asked Sakurako to go out with her!
Takeru is scared...
She hasnt given her answer yet as she doesn't know what it's like to like someone.
Takeru explains to her about it and she decides to turn the boy down.
It seems Takeru is lucky and that Sakurako seems to like him though she doesn't confess yet...

Looking forward to the next episode!

Sakurako and Takeru are so damn cute. It’s funny how yamamoto is better at writing side ships than the main ones lol. Looks like she’s finally starting to realise how she feels about Takeru

Lmao at Urushi forehead being able to break the punch machine record. Very cute double date episode.

The show could only be only about Sakurako and Takeru and I would probably enjoy it just as much, Urushi was extra cute this episode being so clumsy and that after credits scene was the cherry on top.

Takeru: claims to know nothing about what it means to like someone

Also Takeru: fully explains what it means to like someone

We were eating really good this episode in regards to both couples, the opening bit between Takeru and Sakurako looking for 4 leaf clovers was awesome, Takeru definitely started believing in luck after that lol. And then we move on to the shogi club golden week get-together, I really enjoyed seeing the club enjoy the arcade together, the air hockey bit was especially great thanks to the team pairings, Urushi throwing the game was funny too lol.

And Rin got a bunch of Macho Koalas, what a goofy little mascot lol, and Takeru ends up giving his lucky one to Sakurako as he also kinda points her in the direction of what it means to be in love with someone, to which she realizes what she’s been feeling with Takeru this whole time, I really liked that scene, glad this couple got a good amount of focus this time.

Why always side characters in such romcom are more enjoyable to watch then the actual MC. Like in My Senpai is so annoying and now in this anime Takeru and Sakurako just like Sakurai and Kazama.

I didn't really think of Urushi as being a clumsy girl, but how she was able to miss hitting the punching pad with her fist and instead headbutted it for a score of just 1 point, I might have to reconsider my stance on her clumsiness! XD

The whole episode was itself the usual dollop of cuteness that we expect and that's not a bad thing whatsoever. Seeing Urushi and Ayumu having fun in the photo-booth together while making the odd silly pose and laughing together was very sweet. Same goes for how excited Rin got over the crane game containing koala macho sweets.

For me, the best part of the episode belongs to Sakurako and Takeru. Not only did Takeru find a four-leaf clover that Sakurako wanted as a bookmark, but it's thanks to him tripping over a small rock and landing on top of Sakurako has finally ignited something within each other at last. The way that she blushes at him during their time together late into the episode might be a sign that she now she's him as more than a friend.

Hopefully they'll start dating very soon, as they make just as sweet of a couple as Urushi and Ayumu, who I also hope their relationship progresses to the next step soon. =)

Why is it that Sakurako and Takeru seem to stand out more than Urushi and Ayumu? They seem to be a more exciting couple than the latter when the show is supposed to be for Urushi and Ayumu? Man I hope Ayumu makes a spicy move soon.

I'm kinda over Urushi going through these same motions of freaking out and hastily trying to put a lid on her nervousness every time Tanaka does something, Canonically it's been a year, yeah? Where's the character development?

I guess that bullet hell reference was something. I was never much of a fan of those types of games though -- too anxiety inducing.

Not even a single point in the air hockey game? Tut, tut. I mean, even if she's clumsy, at this point it seems like they're seriously exaggerating her.

Those koala figures are super small, I thought they were going to be fairly big plushies. Hold the fuck up. The koala things are food? I was thinking that the package was a little big for such a small figure, but even now -- it's this huge package with a single, small, koala cookie wrapped in an entirely different, plastic, package? ΰ² _ΰ²

Shogi club gang having fun at the game centre on the last day of golden week which looked really fun. Its funny how Urushi is only good at anything that involves shogi including arcade games with shogi in them lol.

Sakurako also realised she likes Takeru so hopefully something is going to happen between them in the next few episodes.

Another one to the list!


In most cases, the MAL Average Scores don't mean anything, here is a question: were the works made before 2000 all shit?
Why are they so damn scarce in the Top 50? Think about how MAL is quite literally a filtered amount of the Anime fanbase.

Here's a timeline of the Top 15 in which you can check that, almost always, the scores are affected by the freshness, popularity and other factors that have nothing to do with quality.

One of the best episodes till now.

Extremely cute and wholesome.

Not Urushi admitting like that lmao, that scene was gold.

The last picture of them together turned out to be really cute. It really was a special moment with Ayumu smiling.

Sakurako realising she likes Takeru was really cute to see.

A truly diabetes inducing episode. Probably only 3 more episodes are left but nothing is mentioned about total episodes so I guess no harm in hoping we get two cours, even though it's highly unlikely.

Habitual of watching such great episodes from this series

I don't know why this show is still not getting some enough recognition where shows like Shikimori were being hyped for nothing.........

This one is probably one of the best romcom of this year and even better healing anime than Aharen San imo

Another entertaining episode to watch! Takeru and Sakurako's relationship sure is developing although I thought they were already dating. Urushi blushing throughout is fantastic, such as when she thought she was going on date with Ayumu and then accidentally confesses to Maki that she thought it was a date until it wasn't lol. The arcade scenes were great and seeing a rare smile from Ayumu made Urushi's day. Hopefully both relationships develop further.

The guys wanted to go out for Golden Week. But from the way Ayumu was telling Urushi, she thought it was a date xd. Takeru was going to go too, but he went out with Sakurako a few days earlier. They wanted to find a clover and they got to find it, an interesting situation happened with them xd.
Well the day came and they met. They spent it in a game center. Poor Urushi couldn't compete well in the games, but she made it in that arcade xd.
And they played air field hockey, Urushi and Ayumu against Takeru and Rin. Ayumu had a plan to win, but they ended up losing. They paid the bet and took some pictures while they were at it, very nice that part.
In the last scene, Sakurako told Takeru that someone confessed to her, but she didn't understand well about loving someone. He explained to her and apparently she is feeling that. And well, it's obvious for whom xd
It was a very good chapter.

Looks like 4 leafed clovers DO have a lucky charm lol

Honestly, Ayumu and Rin look like a brother and sister duo.

My man, Takeru is really going the extra mile to win over Sakurako.

Moral: Never pick the same team as Urushi if you wanna win that game (except Shogi)

Urushi got to see Ayumu laughing.

Sakurako would obviously be loyal cause she's a chad πŸ’ͺ

Urushi thought it'd be a date but no. But despite it being a group acitivity, she still got up to date-like acts with Ayumu; taking cute pictures, and their awkward position for air hockey lol. Headbutting in the boxing game looks really painful.
The side couple is making their own progress.
