Well, Horikawa is fun to have around with. I'm sure those kids are glad to have someone older to play around with.

I kinda like how this anime shows the way kids behave at their age. It's exactly like in real life but translated into anime form in a civilized environment. Horikawa is definitely someone to keep an eye on too.

The amount of annoying kids is increasing with each episode. Now i wonder if this show goes with the classic formula (nothing wrong with that) of two characters not liking each other, then gradually getting to know each other as the show progresses and eventually becoming friends ... or, there will be something more in it.

But i dont like the main-kun, he is a slapstick character that has his moments but then immediately reverts back to being a clown, not a fan of that. We'll see. Also, whats with the shiny faces.

A heartwarming episode for Mitsuru
btw, She plays her guitar and sings inside her own room, yet no one in her family ever heard before. That's quite strange. lol

Maaya Sakamoto's OP still wows me in soothing ways.

The new girl Mitsuru Horikawa is a fun character to be with, save for Nagomu himself and the hardworking Itsuka. Being a sibling taking care of her family's 4 younger children and helping out her parents, she's like the family breadwinner whom treasures her deceased grandmother who always has an affection for Ryokushou's sweets.

But all she ever wanted was to be an accomplished musician, and right now she's slowly growing her fanbase. And in the same way, those prank calls from last episode came back again which linked her as the root cause. In the pressure, she holds a facade of having to juggle between her interests and her family, and Nagomu can understand since he was in her state before for 10 years as a failed musician.

And what Nagomu did...was to barge directly to Mitsuru's house, meet her mother and encourage her in his stead. Once all that was revealed, it seemed like all the burden was lifted, and as bad as she exposed her interests to her family and endured full-on embarrassment, Mitsuru can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

I'm beginning to love this show, it has heart written all over the place.

Well it seems Mitsuri had nothing to worry about with telling her parents it's nice to see that they where so supportive of her.
She is also a hard working girl even helping out her family like that.
The main was almost proposing there which was funny.

Mitsuru is very talented and smart - singer, makes the charms as well as helping Itsuka with her schoolwork in addition to working to help pay for Uni

Nagomu did well in encouraging her as well as speaking to Mitsuru's mother - great her parents will support her in pursuing her musical future.

Could Mitsuru have a lil crush on Nagomu that Itsuka picked up on?

Heartwarming episode. Mitsuru is such a hardworking girl and I'm glad her issue with her parents was just a miscommunication one. Nagomu encouraging her to talk with her parents was also pretty sweet to see.

Great episode! Mitsuru was about to quit music and her workplace after her fans found out about where she worked but Nagomu explained to her parents and everything worked out xD.

Looking forward to the next episode!

The only thing holding this show back for me is that the comedy just isn't very good and is often inserted completely out of place: that scene where Nagomu tells Mitsuru that it's not the right time to quit perfectly exemplifies that issue with how it just completely crushed the serious tone of the scene. On a similar note, what was with that cut between that conversation and the one with Mitsuru's mother? It felt like an entire scene of transition was cut there and it felt really weird.

Another nice episode. Honestly I was waiting for the comments to be like "She's trash. Garbage etc" But instead it was a little more severe with people knowing where she worked. Thats straight scary.

Some sweet moments between Mitsuru and Nagomu as well.

But the thing that threw off my vibe was at the end when Itsuka was like "You might have to think more about that." I felt like it was an unnecessary shot at Nogomu. =/

I think that this is kind of a trend in this anime, the scenes just randomly transition to the next one without even having that sense of completitude or connection, it jumps from one to the another to just add context to what will happen next and then do the climax, it is kind of weird

This was a nice one, I enjoyed the focus on Mitsuru, her little arc was nice, it was cool to see Nagomu go out of the way to help her out after her slip up, and it’s also great that the candy shop ended up getting more publicity thanks to Mitsuru’s fans as opposed to it staying a bad thing, that started out as a rough situation but thankfully turned out great. I also loved that bit at the beginning where she gave Nagomu her little brother’s underpants thinking it was a handkerchief lol.

Definitely a fan of Mitsuru, nice to have another character that’s focusing on music like Nagomu, hopefully it goes better for her lol. Next week looks like it’ll be interesting too. Also that OP and ED have already stuck to me, really love them.

A mildly pleasant episode. I liked that they framed Mitsuru doing so much and being willing to sacrifice what she loves as her not wanting to come across as a bother. That felt realistic.

But in general this episode did not make much of an impact on me one way or another. When it ended I felt nothing and had to try and remember what had happened to write about it.

Well at least there's a nice song, nice sweets, and nice girl. Its perfect to healing my barren day and make me hungry too, unfortunately. But, i am truly glad nothing really bad happened to Mitsuru-chan after those unfortunate expose. Tho, with that issue being opened, its actually speeding it up into completion, to clear it up completely out of her mind. Thanks for Nagomu way too carefree solution to just barge into Mitsuru home like that; her parents revealed to be supportive, and 'fans' somehow get bored being shit, while also distracted by how funny Nagomu mother promoted the wagashi under those circumstances.

All is well and i don't see much problem with above nitpick. Its just their style and uniqueness. Come on...

Opening scene seemed to be rather abruptly cut off by the OP

I would've preferred to have at least one or two more episodes focusing solely on our two main characters, before jumping in to flesh out side characters. But that's just the most minor of nitpicks. Otherwise, this was just a nice simple and sweet episode.

Slightly weaker when compared to the first, really hope MC gets a bit more serious, his aloof personality isn't really endearing to me much. I was really hoping they would focus more on Itsuka, a bit too early to be exploring other character's stories without establishing the two main ones, it was a strange episode for me.

Hmm its certainly could've been better. The abrupt scenes transition kinda irks me, I dont think it works well on slice of life anime.

Ah well, next eps seems to be focusing more on the main duo so I hope it'd be better.

On an unrelated note I still can hear Mahito's voice out of Nagomu lol

Looks like I found another hidden gem for Spring 2022. This series has strong music themes and Mitsuru has a great singing voice. I'm glad that she didn't give up her music. This is shaping up to be a good slice of life story with a lot of substance and I can't wait to see more of it. More people need to watch this anime.

I liked first episode so this one was a little disappointing. It felt like one big engineered drama; inserted just to move the plot along.

First plot device: Mitsuru's family.

Mother: "I feel so bad for our teenage daughter who is still in high school having to take care of 3 of her siblings."
Also Mother: "Let's have a 5th baby."

Seriously, if the parents can't handle all their children without straining the eldest one, DON'T HAVE ANY MORE CHILDREN. It is irresponsible. What is even the point of a family this big in this particular story? Well let me tell you:

"Oh, Mitsuru is not pitiful enough if she only has to put 1 sibling to bed, let's add 2 more and also a baby still to come. Whilst we're at it, let's kill off her grandmother and let's make her overhear her dad talking about typical plans for daughters to make it seem like she has no future."

To further drive home that this was unnecessary drama, all she needed to do was spend 10 seconds talking to her parents. So, WHY all the pitiful background?
It's all too much. Especially for 1 episode about a character that was just introduced.

Second plot device: Doxxing
A sweet shop is somehow selling handmade phonestraps and she happens to show it on the stream and her listener happens to be a regular at the shop? And somehow the mc also watches her videos? Just how small is this World? Mitsuru's family probably contributes to 50% of the population.

"But hey, how else do we make an already pitiful girl be in even more despair? Let's dox her, make her resign from the shop, delete all her music and then have MC come save the day with a couple of sentences."

As with the 10 seconds parent talk, the doxxing resolves with ease to make the whole situation feel like a waste of time. It's too many "coincidences" and makes the episode feel forced.

I was expecting Usagi drop, kakushigoto feels but this side story kinda missed the mark.

Almost felt like Nagomu was trying to ask for Mitsuru's hand instead of asking for the parents consent to let her enjoy music lol. Gotta say the coincidence of viewers knowing where the strap was from and trying to doxx Mitsuru feels cheap.
