Aww, Kinoko Inu and Plum are so cute together. ^_^

"Can I come over to play?" Aww again. :3

It was fun to see them typing text messages.

Anzu's mother is a funny person btw.

We got to learn how Anzu and Plum met each other.

And now we also know why Hotaru doesn't really like cell phones. Very sad flashback. Using your cell phone while driving a car can be a lethal combination.

Plum and Kinokinu are just so cute together. It was really interesting learning about how Plum and Anzu first met.

Really like Anzu's character and her design, and her dynamic with her mother was cute. Happy to see the cast slowly grow, it feels like a family.

Kinoko Inu loses some of the charm and the mystique when he can just type out what he's thinking, but looking forward to where they take this character (that's what he is now, I think, more than before).

That was really cute Plum being afraid of appearing in a book and getting embarrassed lol

Kind of feels weird Anzu is the daughter of a classmate of his since he doesn't seem like he's over 30.

I didn't expect an explanation on Hotaru not liking cell phones. I just thought he is simply like that as a lifestyle choice and just stood firm on it. That's sad that he lost his parents that way. It fits with the theme of losing someone unexpectedly

So I was wrong and Plum actually did originate from Kinokoinu's spores.

I’m saying it again, they need to break out the fungicide before there’s a plague of millions of the evil little bastards! It’s probably them that run all the internet scams…

@Blake-18
Early to mid 30s, he can't be older than that.

@Avvenirista I was thinking that but I found it odd she has a kid (not judging) when they both seem quite young when she seems to have a fixation on hotaru

@Blake-18
Anzu said she's in middle school (second year?) so Tsubaki probably had her when she was in her late teens or early twenties.

Tsubaki's fixation on Hotaru is indeed really odd but she doesn't look romantically attracted to him so I also wonder what's her deal. On the other hand I don't think it's strange that Tsubaki doesn't remember Komako at all, though, because they've been together in same class during elementary school just for a single year.

Kinoko Inu and Plum's sibling meeting was certainly hampered somewhat by the latter's spores, as Hotaru, Komako and Yayu continue searching for Kinokoinu throughout the night. Anzu, accompanied by her mother Tsubaki, is someone whom Hotaru has had a history with (though not a particularly good one), though it's the daughter in question after inhaling some spores that gave birth to Plum. Most certainly, everyone makes friends overnight.

Even both Komako and Yayu also know Tsubaki since she's in the same industry as a picture book artist...but having to eat mushrooms for hotpot in front of the mushroom pups, thankfully they don't mind at all to have a good time. Hotaru getting Kinokoinu a smartphone to use (or rather, it's for himself), as the rain pours that reminds him of the fateful accident that lost both of his parents, much less of his dog's own passing.

At least with Kinokoinu, Hotaru can start anew...
