Masaki sure is trying hard for an amateur rookie surfer, while still under others' supervision just in case he drowns.

Well, to put it best, this is a Handsome (Bishounen) Boys Doing Hot Things? From onsen to surfing time, the gay levels are low between Nalu Tanaka, Sho and Masaki. Quite a surprise that Tanaka is thinking of moving away to inheriting his parents' jobs, which means that less time is dedicated to surfing when this happens.

With a rough weather..."the show must go on" NOT. Masaki is truly asking for trouble to challenge rough sea conditions when not even traction surfing under the waves is possible. Surfing is OK as both a recreation and a sport, but it's different when someone potentially dies from selfish actions. You can have enthusiasm, but don't let that be your downfall.

A happy-go-lucky idiot Masaki he is one, but you have to learn your lesson well. The spirit of competition between the trio sure as hell gets the plot going for more characters down the line.

well there was that drama with the other guy going to hawaii and the tournament soon so its not like the plot is entirely in-existent. there's also the scene after the ed which showed a new character so i think its progressing pretty smoothly

We get onsen episode on top of beach anime, how lucky!

Not sure if Masaki is in love with surfing or surfer, how about both!

That end card, Congis are so cute...

Once again thank god this series got approved. It seems like Masaki is obsessed with surfing to a point where he starts doing reckless stuff like trying to surfing in a middle of a typhoon even though Sho warned him not to go out there. Of course dumb ass Masaki went out there and underestimated how powerful and choppy the waves are during a storm. He got carried out to sea real quick and almost drowned, but luckily Sho was there to save him. I know Sho scolded him, but in addition to that he should have slapped Masaki for being a reckless dumb ass that almost lost his life.

Meanwhile Tanaka has decided that he's going to school in Hawaii after graduation. I'm sure he'll fit right in just nicely.

This anime is an absolute delight to watch. Not only the eyecandy, but on the emotional level too, with the fun, with the drama, the insecurities - captures that classic transience of youth perfectly. Loving it.

And the eyecandy... so much eyecandy. That said - FOUR bath scenes in an anime where they can potentially shed their clothes or at the very least be shirtless quite literally at any moment? xD I appreciate it, but it's a little redundant. Leave some for anime where the boys are otherwise always dressed up? xD

I was hoping for a tragedy. Masaki is just too stupid for me.

"I can only doggy paddle and have only been surfing for a few days. I'm gonna take on the rough waves in a storm. What can go wrong? No one else out here. More waves for me!"

It was a very fast paced episode . I actually thought there was gonna be a 1-2 year timeskip at the end of the episode because how fast everything was going. I like beefcaking and onsen scenes but when you deal it too much it loses its charm ( I’m not really that close with my bros to be taking baths and showers every day with them but that is more of a Japanese thing.) overall a good episode showing how sometimes too much is just too much . I am also convinced that the dude is crushing on the blonde dude as much as surfing ( couldn’t really tell because he’s always blushing or burned).

Nope, it's not just you. I guess it is because the change of formats, but there's really not much going on in this show. This is really a case of "Cute guys do __ "

I don't know what is it but this episode wasn't as enjoyable. I didn't get the summer vibes that I got with the first one.

Also the interactions are cheesy af, but that's understandable considering that they're only 14. I just hope that when the older cast gets intoduced things will balance out and this becomes easier to watch

Don’t really fancy the voice acting. Sounds so flat & .....cheap....at times, for a lack of a better word. The OP & ED sung by them are pretty good tho! It is also pretty relaxing to watch after a long day. The SOL vibes are strong in this one. And love it when Tanaka starts strumming lol







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there

When a surfer surfs in this kind of weather, it's asking for suicide. Don't understimate the power of the ocean cuz it can be deadly! Masaki's an idiot for risking his life like that and if it wasn't for Sho, he wouldn't be this lucky :/ He should have listen to Sho's advice about the weather since she's a pro surfer and knows best.

What's up with the ost?? None of the scenes match with the ost in the background. It reminds me of those old BL OVAs I watched ๏︿๏

Isn't it common sense that it's dangerous to surf in that weather...he was acting like those dumb kids I wanna slap.

The way Masaki is always like “Sho this Sho that” is getting really annoying. At this point it doesn't feel like he actually likes surfing but is just crushing on Sho...if Masaki's obsession towards Sho is intended for us to ship them then I can't even do that because of the lack of character development.

How many scenes at the onsen did we have in this episode, omg?

The soundtrack, as said above, doesn't match the scenes and the dialogues, it's disturbing.

Also, I know this show likes to accentuate their personalities, and I know the main character is a jerk but how is it possible to want to surf in that weather? And none of his friends seriously stop him?

Probably dropped...

He was dumb af to jump into the ocean to surf with a weather like that. If he had the least bit of common sense he wouldn't have done it.

Damn, i was not expect that suicide attempt at all. Masaki surely had too much obsession to be the same level as his boyfriend, Sho. And he was about to felt bad too over hearing that news from his childhood boyfriend. What a dang boy! I just realized they were all still a middle schoolers. Smh. I may think something was wrong already. But, whatever, lets clear this out very fast into the next competition arc. Masaki, don't be a dumb again, please. Before i completely curse you....

Masaki almost killed himself in that storm. Thankfully, the blonde angel was there to save him. All that water dripping off his chest............ummmmmmmmmmmm.

I love watching these hot boys.

So Tanaki will move to Hawaii when he'll enter to high school... that's a good idea to be honest.
And wow, Masaki was stupid with surfing alone with this weather, at least Sho was here to save him.

Corgi really misses some braincells if he thought surfing during a storm is a good idea especially as a beginner.
