| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Tamahiko needs to take care of his health better. The guy looks terrible this episode with that flu. Seems his mental health isn't that good either. God Bless Yuzuki for supporting him. Seems they're really pouring most of the show abou Tamahiko and Yuzuki's relationship. And I think that's very charming. And oh, Tamako is such a cool girl. |
 |
| Man... this show is just so sweet especially Yuzuki. She's just so frickin' precious. Everything she does is cute. Taking care of sick Tamahiko... no problem. Doing house chores... no problem. Definitely an approved wife for sure. The comedic elements that are being put in this show here and there are cute and funny. It's so cute to see their relationship grow in this show. Idk man... I might end having diabetes after this one. Also, Tamahiko's little sister, Tamako is here. I like her as well. |
 |
| I really like the main girl. She is a woman of her era, her family went into a debt, so it was her duty to take care of the family .. by marrying the land lord's (the one who her family is indebted to) son, yes she may not like it, but she knows its her duty and shes doing everything in her power to fulfill it with her own ways of optimism. Similar to the main dude, whos duty is to not exist, for the wellbeing of the family ... the "duty to one's family" seems like a theme for the future. Its nice to see a period characters that act in accordance of the time period. I didn't read the manga so all this can change the next episode for all i know, but for now, i like it. Also look at the architecture and costumes in Tokyo! |
 |
| The couple life of Tamahiko and Yuzu continues, and is freaking the former out more now that she is technically his bride. The inherent PTSD as a result from his direct family's treatment, Tamahiko might as well be dead and done living alone without the family name. Of course, being a girl sold to a debt, Yuzu will always be around to take care of Tamahiko, till death do them apart. And considering that the Taisho Era wasn't exactly the most keen of a wonky time period, the romance between the both of them feels genuine amidst rocky paths. A trip to Tokyo as amends akin to a date, and Yuzu definitely is enjoying herself while Tamahiko still contemplates. To think that 10 yen is quite expensive back in early 20th Century Japan, the value has depreciated a lot, but what is not is their relationship. Yuzu is already thinking far ahead while being so innocent, she's a real mature young-un. Also, the infrastructures for the Taisho period are definitely striking, the days before World War I. Even the ice cream scene is too cute though, but public image is all the rage to be kept. It's nice to see that Tamahiko is paying more attention to Yuzu, and let that be a budding romance in the small countryside villa. But welp, Tamahiko's little sister Tamako is here, and she'll cause a sizable ruckus. |
 |
| That letter from the father was brutal af. Disappointing your parents is already uncomfortable, but being perceived as shame to the family when you're just a victim must hurt really bad, I can't even imagine. The Tokyo date was nice. The setting certainly got appeal, but it's not without it's drawbacks from our perspective. Like that ice cream scene. Ah the good old days of Taishou era where publicly feeding your man is indecent behavior. Crazy how times changed, lol. I wonder what the future has in store. |

| Tamahiko's father ain't winning much 'Father of the Year' awards with stuff like what he wrote in that letter to his own son, proclaiming him pretty much as dead now. The actual episode itself was a bit boring for me, kind of a flat dynamic between Tamahiko and Yuzuki but I am interested a bit in what the new character at the end has to offer in the short term, despite not being the friendliest looking person out there. |
| Great episode! I hate Tamahiko’s father. He’s ok with pretending Tamahiko died in an accident just for the sake of his other children’s marriages. Love how Yuzu is really compassionate and how she cheers Tamahiko up. I’m sure at this time there were lots of forced marriages in which the women were treated badly in this time but I’m happy Tamahiko treats her well. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Yuzuki is so precious. Sister will surprise many. |
| Have to admit I'm still a tad conflicted on this show. I'm getting some real Tonikawa vibes from Tamahiko and Yuzu's dynamic, and given how I really disliked that show and dropped it super quickly, that's not a good sign at all. Beyond that, Tamahiko's pessimism is quickly becoming grating (not least because I cannot relate to or make sense of why his injury has made his family disown him and basically declare him dead) and Yuzu is too perfect and only exists to make him happy even though she's only known him at this point for, what, a week? There's nothing strictly wrong with wish fulfilment of this type, but it's possible to be a little too overt with it like this show. Well, I'll give it one more chance next week and see how I feel. May as well give it the three-episode rule, after all. |
| Yuzuki is so cute with him when he feels bad like that, he broke her yukata but she got a new one and it looks great, the sister appearance doesn't seem good at all though, I hope MC will be fine :/ |
 |
| I dont know how Tamahiko is so passive with that cutthroat family. |
 |
| Well Shima's feelings right now after being told that he's a dead man are told accurately by these lyrics, "yes I'm lonely, want to die. Yes I'm lonely, want to die. If I ain't dead already, girl you know the reason why". But even after suffering from ultimate betrayal and a cold, he bounced back and thought of actually repaying Yuzu's love (about damn time) and taking her to Tokyo...and the city's Taishou era look is amazing! Pretty much a date with 2 kimonos costing 22 yen (that only buys you a cheap bottled water nowadays), and a nice ice cream. And I laughed when Yuzu saw an escalator for the first time, that was most of us when we were a child. Pretty good development so far, pls Shima you gotta repay some love to your waifu, YOU HAVE A TRUE ONE WHILE WE HAVE AN ILLUSION. And now that Tamako the imouto is here, I wonder how Shima will handle it now that he's just recovering from the pain of isolation. |
 |
| I like it so far. Family is very important when it comes to mental health, i feel bad for him. |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| Why is Tamahiko's family such assholes >:( |
 |
| Yuzu is just too cute. Loved the way they draw different expressions of her throughout the episode. Also, the way they used the Taisho era department store to facilitate the story was nice too. The show is doing a good job building the atmosphere of that era. |
| First part of the episode struck me pretty hard. But thanks to the adorable Yuzu, he managed to get back on his feet. But in the end, the arrogant sister arrived. Seems like trouble is near.. |

Byniavo said: Why is Tamahiko's family such assholes >:( They aren't that bad. I mean if my dad wanted to be an a-hole and pretend I was dead I'd be fine with it as long as he bought me a nice house and a cute little wife first. lol |
 |
| This series is kinda cringed... not the lovely-dovely moments (those I'm used to) but those stupid things that his family has done and are still doing. And they messed with Japan's first rule, don't bother the dead, let them rest peacefully. And that f*cking bitch, that will only get married because the guy is made up dead, is messing with the only guy that she shouldn't, because he is only dead for her to be married. What do you think will happen if the guy just showed at a family reunion because his DUMB sister comes to wake up the dead brother?? She will f*ck her bitch dada's plans just by existing at this point!!! DUMB BITCH!!! |
| For the ones that like to bother others (like me) with "you should read the manga/LN", please stop. I don't read mangas, I will NOT read mangas, I will not listen to what manga readers complain in adaptation to the anime counterpart, I only watch anime except in very few and specific situations. |
| This anime fucking sucks. I like the time period, some of the girl’s reaction faces, and it’s decent from a production standpoint, but the actual content makes it unbearable to watch. I can’t believe they are expecting me to take seriously the MC’s dad saying “yeah we can let people know that you lost use of an arm in an accident because it will ruin their marriages, so we’re just gonna say you’re dead”. And that leads to the MC getting all depressed and “suicidal” so the most perfect child can coddle him up while he constantly blushes and is taken aback. Am I supposed to be attracted to this child? I feel like that’s the only way I can get any enjoyment out of this nausiating wish-fulfillment garbage. One more episode and I’m gone. |
| I need to know, just a little spoiler, is Tamahiko's little sister as a scumbag as their father? |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| what the hell is this f*cking family ??? poor MC, it's so hard to watch |
| Damn, what a shitty family... I feel bad for Tamahiko. Lowkey hope his father gets his own arm fucked or something. That aside, it was another sweet episode. Tamahiko and Yuzuki had a really cute date and I particularly liked how Taishou Era Tokyo was portrayed. |

| This show is SO GOOD! I’m loving every second of it, this episode in particular had so many cute and funny moments with Yuzuki and Tamahiko, absolutely loving it. The first half was a bit sad because of the being announced dead situation, but Yuzuki saves our boy once again, and the 2nd half was very sweet, also loved seeing Taishou era Japan. Tamako is very pretty, I love the classic Japanese look, but I’m guessing she’s not gonna be very nice to start off next episode. Also, kinda surprised to see a few people that aren’t into this, guess it’s not for everyone. It is VERY much for me, however. |
TheColonel76 said: Also, kinda surprised to see a few people that aren’t into this, Don't be surprised - That's literally any anime that ever existed. Nothing has 100% universal appeal and satisfaction. But this series fits one or more overlapping niches like a glove. |

I know that of course lol, I more so meant that there were more than I expected, but looking back on it, it was probably was silly of me to say something so obvious. |
| Honestly I'm a bit used to this type of show where the MC have family problems like Fruits Basket also sets a problem about family abuse where the zodiac members were abused by their parents and I'm either a masochist or sadist but at some point, watching them having pain is somewhat enjoyable for me since I get to understand these characters feeling and I'd like to see whether or not they will develop in later episodes. Other than that, this episode sets a very sad tone going on between Tamahiko and his family. Man I would feel the same if I was in Tamahiko's position, having a family that leaves their son in the dread and at the same time challenging their son's own life to crush their own humanity. I also love Yuzuki here, for me her character is starting to grow gradually as she can read someone else's situation just from this quoting right here "If the words are too painful to say without wanting to cry, you musn't say it at all", she's starting to develop herself as a character who gives a great portrayal of a mother figure who takes care of Tamahiko by giving a helping hand, cooking him meals, showing empathy, and pretty much comfort him till he's all better ;). And now's their trip to Tokyo, heading in the gateway to the Imperial Palace. Yuzuki's reaction and the way she acts like a unfamiliar with her own manners is literally me when I first came to Tokyo but too bad I didn't get to see people wearing such "a la mode" clothing style, nowadays, it's more of a modernist and minimalistic clothing with some jacket on (IF cold weather) :<. Anyways, some wholesome dialogue going on when both were buying Yuzuki's Kimono since Tamahiko ruined Yuzuki's first sewed red Kimono but she's happy with the fabric Kimono Tamahiko bought for now and yet again, she's definitely acting like an upcoming mother figure who never gets embarrassed at all :D. Also still feel bad when Tamahiko snap back from his bad memories when he refers to his own childhood after seeing a kid eating some omelette, kind of sad but somewhat relatable as for a person who gets easily bothered by something in the present that represents their bad memories, the struggle is real and I have huge empathy over Tamahiko :( In the end, we see, Tamahika's little sister appearance, Tamako, she acts like a evil-ish sister to me but when I looked at the OP theme of this show, she seems nice to Yuzuki so I may be wrong but I'm looking forward to the next episode! |

| Really good episode! Tamahiko and Yuzu out here giving everyone diabetes. I really like the time period here, besides Demon Slayer I think, this is the only other show I've watched set in the Taishou era. It's cool to see escalators and stuff in this era, since I didn't know they existed already by this time. The blend of modern and old is dope. I hope Tamako is not really a dick, well based on the OP it seems she likes Yuzu at least. Tamahiko's father really sucks balls, but at least he gets money probably and a house and a lovely bride to comfort him, so I guess it's not all that bad. It definitely still hurts like a bitch though like we saw. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| The relationship betwen the mc and heroine is so sweet... probably the best romance this season |
| Moe is Love ! Moe is Life ! |
| That dad really is relentless isn't he... First being the shame of the family for something he is not to blame for, but now they just went and declared him to be dead, cause it benefits the engagements of his siblings. It makes me want to puke, it's disgusting, but somehow I wouldn't be surprised if this was normal in that era. Not gonna lie, Yuzu is becoming best girl pretty rapidly this season. She's so cute and precious. She's exactly what Tamahiko needs right now, since everyone in his family rejects him. Now I love the look of this Era's Tokyo. Makes me realize how freaking old the Tokyo Station building already is. Their little shopping trip was nice and I love how happy Yuzu was with the new cloth for the new Kimonos. Oh boy this sister is already making me hate her. Next episode bought to be interesting and I wonder how Yuzu will be treated next to Tamahiko. |
 |
| A lot of things happened and unfolded this episode, it felt a bit fast especially the trasition from Yuzu comforting Tamahiko to the next one. Other than that, really enjoyable episode. Always love seeing the city aesthetic of Taisho era! |
  |
| i swear yuzu is best waifu this season !! adorable and heartwarming !! the drama from this anime is banger !! |
| Yuzu using the old, classic and inescapable strategy of falling asleep, go lady, you know. She also has an interesting outlook on life, not seeing everything in a negative way, although sometimes it is true that not everything will always go our way, she always takes it in the best possible way. |
| almost the whole episode was wholesome! and then at that last part was an episode destroyer! all of the family members of Tamahiko is bad news!!! 5/5. |
 |
| I was about to drop it when I saw that guy get even more depressed after the letter. But Tokyo part saved it for me. Seeing Yuzu spoiled and happy is good for my heart. Now let's hope things will actually go up from here, and it's not a loop of Tamahiko gets depressed in first half then gets healed in 2nd... His sister seems like a bait tbh. Maybe it's because of how she looked (or the fact she appeared there at all) on the first cover this entry had on MAL, but she doesn't seem like a bad person or antagonist. |
| Tamahiko's family (especially his father) are assholes. But I think Tamahiko himself would slowly turn out like them had he stayed with them and grew up. Now Tamahiko's younger sister Tamako has barged into his married life without an invitation. She might make their lives hell. This is going to be interesting. I hope that she'll turn for the better later though. |
