Yum, a takoyaki party sounds delicious.

Pressured by Kurosawa's older sister, Kurosawa ends up living with Adachi in his apartment for a while. Feeling awkward about being alone together at home, Adachi invites Rokkaku over, and the three of them have a takoyaki party. Adachi, still struggling to respond to Kurosawa's feelings, which he feels every day. Then one day, he accidentally overhears what seems to be his coworker Fujisaki's voice confessing feelings for him... or so he thought. It was a misunderstanding.

No Tsuge and Wataya in this episode. It's a bit disappointing, but it's okay. At least we discovered that Rokkaku's friend is Wataya, and it's clear that Kurosawa easily feels jealous. And that confession was just wonderful. Here's hoping Adachi can return Kurosawa's feelings soon. I know this show is praised for its groundedness, but I'm sure some of us feel like Fujisaki on the inside.

It's a bit of a sad cliffhanger though. I really hope Adachi can sort out his feelings and find some closure soon.

You go get him Kurosawa! That was so freaking sweet and I'm really happy that didn't take another episode or so to happen. I can understand Adachi's confusion, but damn I hope he will let Kurosawa be all of his firsts!

Loved the change in the outro. The usual one is an absolute banger, but it wouldn't have fitted this episode's ending as well.

Honestly, my favorite aspect of this adaptation is the voice acting, especially Chiaki Kobayashi who I absolutely love.

I don’t remember Kurosawa being so rough with Adachi in the manga when he grabbed him in the kitchen.

The special ending version was nice. Hopefully we’ll get one from Adachi too.

For the sake of all that is, why are the three characters all wearing matching pajamas?!?! It’s like production doesn’t give a flying F how they have to cut corners, we just need to be grateful for the adaptation to begin with. Ugh.

OMG Fujisaki-san is WAIFU!

At first I thought she was gonna be let down by Adachi not reciprocating her love but it turns out she's an AVID fujoshi simping for these two...

Hahah that twist was so unexpected and hilarious!

Sadly this misunderstanding will put a dent in Adachi's decisions for the time being...

Fujisaki is the most relatable character of this series, and this episode had the biggest cliffhanger so far.



Just kiss already, damn it!

Fujisaki's so cute! she's totally gunning for Adachi and Kurosawa, but of course silly Adachi disconnecting when he's about to find out the crucial info she was thinking. But yay, Kurosawa finally manned up and confessed, now, how will Adachi reciprocate...

Kurosawa did the thing!

Hilarious to see him upset about the 3rd wheel lol.

Wednesday! My favorite day of the week, its BL time! It seems like someone heard Adachi tell Kurosawa that he had a nice voice. Adachi looks so cute when he looks up at Kurosawa. Why was Adachi's tie inside his pocket in the conference room? The way Kurosawa turned off the water and hugged Adachi from the back and firmly grasped Adachi's hand... I choked 😩 they all wore the same fit to bed lmaooo Fujisaki is so cute wtf bro Adachi's timing is horrible, he would only hear half of what Fujisaki was thinking. Now he's questioning whether he actually likes Kurosawa. Fujisaki is gonna end up writing a fanfic. Horrible cliffhanger, why would they do this to us 😭 Adachi better run after Kurosawa and confess his feelings for him too fr

Adachi being pushed down to Kurosawa's bed, it surely looks bad, but it's quite the episode over a cold. But the numerous situations that Adachi is thinking of, thankfully it's just like a dream. But the truth is that the ladies' man of Kurosawa is clearly waiting for Adachi, who's focused on helping Adachi recover. And along with a fellow colleague Rokkaku, Adachi's house turns into a takoyaki mini party. And Rokkaku wants to amp it up with spicy takoyaki, which Kurosawa can't exactly eat, but will consume for his sake. But even though Rokkaku has had enough of his dance from his college days, Adachi knows that he still has got a touch of it and convinces him to get back to it.

Clearly, Kurosawa feels jealous that Adachi is giving his attention to Rokkaku, and the night before, he was about to confess his feelings, so thank God for Rokkaku to stop his advances. And when it came time to sleeping together, Kurosawa adamantly wants to sleep next to Adachi, but because he has a cold and doesn't want to inflict on both Kurosawa and Rokkaku. Even at his office work, he can also hear Fujisaki's thoughts of him getting close to Kurosawa, she's defintely got the genuine Fujoshi look and fierce supporter. Instead, Kurosawa got his feelings over to Adachi as someone who touched his heart first.

It's certainly a dilemma for Adachi, what's he to do with responding to Kurosawa's feelings?

The fujoshi kinda ruined it, I've never liked such characters. Also I kinda feel bad for Adachi that he has the wrong idea about Fujisaki. And Kurosawa finally confessed! Looking forward to how he's going to reply to it and I hope they do away with the misunderstanding with Fujisaki without dragging it further, it's unnecessary.

Ooh, Kurosawa already confessed, this was unexpected but so needed. Poor Adachi is so confused as is, at least he can now act on this knowledge openly. But I also like how important questions are asked as Adachi tries to determine the nuances between reciprocating solely because someone liked him or because he truly feels this way.

I loved this episode! The jealousy in Kurosawa's eyes was priceless! But especially his thoughts, and Adachi wondering how his face doesn't show it lol.

I loved when Fujisaki came "out of the closet" as a fujoshi 🥳🥳. I was hoping for this, as the opening shows her shipping them too, but it could have been just for the opening. I'm glad they made the right decision 😍😍

Some pretty funny parts in this ep

That is quite a bad situation for Adachi to be in thinking that Fujisaki has feelings for him, as if it wasnt already difficult enough for him to sort his feelings out.

Surprised Kurosawa confessed already. Maybe he felt he needed his actions explained some. Well good on him for working up the courage.

Fujisaki is basically all of us here, she literally said what we all wanted to this whole time without even talking lol

I don't like this misunderstanding with Fujisaki tho, Adachi would've ran after Kurosawa after the confession if not for Fujisaki's internal dialogue.

But I'm hopeful because, this gives Adachi the time to sort out his REAL feelings for Kurosawa

Could Adachi PLS for the love of everything just ONCE think about how he's gay or bisexual?! This is so frustrating, how he completely avoids the word, as if he was heterosexual, yet being so affectionate with Kurosawa. It's like he still doesn't realize he's gay or bisexual. SAY IT.
If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you.

@MyllerPhiem Well, if he has never experimented with someone of the same sex before, it's quite normal his reaction. I would say he is doing a good job of differentiating whether he is actually bisexual or just confused by affection he has never experienced before. I appreciate that the anime is portraying the character's journey in distinguishing between never having received attention before and genuinely liking the person for who they are. It feels more natural than having the character instantly identify as bisexual, even though it is completely normal to question one's own feelings before realizing if they are bisexual or gay. I can relate to that experience, as I went through a similar process before coming out as gay.

Another funny episode with some romantic interactions.

I can't believe that romance shows are my favorites during this season. Both this anime and another one named "Yubisaki to Renren" are worth watching.

Briefly forgot that
, and was very disappointed to see that aspect return in the anime. I really liked the JP drama interpretation of this character... maybe I should just rewatch that. I just feel that this trope is so old and boring at this point. OH WELL. I'll see how the next episode goes, and if this thing continues in the same fashion, I might not be too keen on continuing to watch the anime. It's just too much and I'm too old for it.
if you told me we were dreaming, i would pinch you to prove we're awake.

This show really has the worst timing for me. First it airs right after Atarashii Joushi, which is the same but with more substance to the plot & characters. And now it introduces a Fujoshi right as I'm watching Watashi ga Motete Dousunda, which has the same trope in a more appropriate environment and with much better execution.

Regarding Fujisaki herself, I hope she wont get too insane. Last thing I need is another wholesome romcom getting destroyed by random horny jokes.

Aside from that, this episode had a few good gags with the telepathy but everything else fell flat, including the random confession scene.

oh my god this is so funny

Also love rokkaku staying over so funny & wholesome & I like how adachi has this power which he didn’t like at first but it lets him get to know another side to people, I liked rokkaku’s scene. There’s nuances in his power that’s seemingly just comic relief.







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
