Man, this play really brings out the personalities of some of the cast. Also, it's interesting to see Mimimi's growth as a character this episode/season. Seems her bond with Tomozaki just keeps on growing.

Fuuka seems like a main player/cast of this play and it's really interesting how the show reflects on her image.

At last, the script is finally finished.

The intensive rehearsals for the play had begun in earnest. The character Alicia, played by Hinami, was a perfect embodiment of Kikuchi's image. Kikuchi said that perhaps the core of her heart is empty, Kikuchi thought, also wanting to change herself through this performance. Meanwhile, Tomozaki headed for a comedy duo meeting. Time with Nanami was comforting, blurring the lines between dating and being friends. Amidst this, Kikuchi finally finished writing the conclusion of the story, which turned out to be different from what Tomozaki had envisioned.

It's totally understandable why Hinami would be so good at this—she practically lives and breathes acting every day. It's kind of nice to see that things aren't too awkward between Nanami and Tomozaki. I was worried things might get weird, but it's nice they're still pals. But man, Hinami's got some serious sway over Kikuchi, huh? It's a bit worrying. And the more I think about it, the more I realize Hinami and Kikuchi might have more in common than I gave them credit for. Like, they both see things from a unique point of view...

Did that book Tomozaki really help him figure out what's going on in Kikuchi's head? He stayed up until 4 AM reading it, so hopefully lol.

3:50 Manzai (漫才) is a traditional style of stand-up comedy in Japanese culture, which usually involves two performers (manzaishi (漫才師)) — straight man (突っ込み (tsukkomi). From the verb tsukkomu (突っ込む), meaning something like "butt in") and a funny man (ボケ (boke). From the verb bokeru 惚ける or 呆ける, which carries the meaning of "senility" or "air headed-ness,") — trading jokes at great speed.

I see, Fuuka is forcing herself to change, not because she really wants to, but because she feels like that would be "ideal". Really relatable tbh. (Well, she does want to change, but... idk how to say it.)
17:47 Judging from the context, I think Tomozaki referred to what Mizusawa just said, not what Fuuka said (Japanese relies heavily on context, so things like these can happen).

Daaamn, he really just pulled an all-nighter to read the whole book in one fell swoop. That's dedication.
Things are going in an interesting direction.

Seven whole hours. Now that's some dedication!

Best girl Mimimi is spot on when she says her actual conversations with Tomozaki make a better manzai routine than the one she wrote. Also, we get a reminder that Erika still exists.

Fuuka's play is seeing some unfortunate signs, like the fact that it's still undergoing revisions at this stage, and that it's become the story of Fuuka the high school student instead of Chris the dragon tamer. The conflict of Fuuka wanting to force her development in order to match Tomozaki and Hanabi is bound to be an interesting one. Making a lot of friends is great, but please don't become Aoi!

The script is finally done! “I’m the only getting left behind” Fuuka doesn’t even realise how much she’s already grown. I like the contrast between she and Tomozaki in terms of the reasons they want to change. Fuuka wants to change to become the “world’s ideal”, while Tomozaki is doing it to just become a better version of himself.

I think Fuuka’s method isn’t really sustainable long term. In the short term, coming out of her shell and connecting with other people is good no matter how you slice it. Not only does it help her grow as a person, but also as a writer because you can’t write characters if you don’t understand people. As her relationship with her classmates has grown, the play has improved overall.

Ofc Aoi is putting in an acting masterclass, all she does is act on a daily basis lol. Gonna be fun seeing this all play out at the school festival. Can’t wait.

Mimimi and Tomozaki married couple comedy routine coming along well. I like them just being themselves for it. S/O to Mimimi for doing her best to keep things normal between the two as well. Can’t be easy at all with the circumstances. I disagree with Tomozaki’s thought process that because things are fun with Mimimi “how’s that different from just being friends” relationships should be natural and fun like that, making her an ideal gf imo 🤷🏾‍♂️ two awkward people like he and Fuuka just doesn’t work as well.

That was an excellent display of the skill that Aoi's VA possess. Married couple comedy lol. Given her personality its gonna take someone special for Aoi to open up to. Its good to see Fuka push herself to try and change herself. Even if her personality is ill suited for it. Still without either Aoi or Yuzu there feels like Fuka's always lost. Admirable as it is there's no such thing as a perfect person. Curious to what Tomo divined though.

Full development episode.

I'm not going to lie, it feels weird to see a development episode in the final stretch, but it's not a complaint though.

I think they are trying to address many things at the same time, Fumiya and Mimimi's relationship, Aoi's reason for moving on and of course, the key piece of this episode: Fuka's totally altered perception of reality.

I really doubt that 2 episodes will be enough to give a satisfactory conclusion to these topics.

Ps: Please, Tomozaki, say yes to Mimimi already!!!! XDDDDDDDDDD.

Something tells me the conclusion to this season won't be as satisfactory as one would hope for. Maybe it'll come out rushed or leave some questions unanswered but the fact that there's still development with so few episodes left is not a great sign.

I can definitely see Kikuchi trying to be like Hinami both a good thing and a bad thing, like yeah she’s a good role model but don’t go as deep as she has to get to where she’s at today lol, the fact Tomozaki can’t see her opening up to anyone is kinda wild. And it’s interesting when you look at Kikuchi’s POV on improving herself versus Tomozaki, maybe at first it seems similar but she’s seeing things from an author’s POV versus Tomozaki’s character POV, not sure what the correct way of tackling this situation with Kikuchi is but it seems Tomozaki found something at the end there in that story she referenced, I’m interested in finding out what it was.

And we got some more Mimimi and Tomozaki goodness although not much, and it was focused on the comedy routine the two of them agreed to do, and I gotta say their natural conversations really are more comedic than that script Mimimi wrote, they could do an improv act but that would be tough to pull off. Once again I'm not sure what the answer to this is but I could see them pulling something off for sure. These last two episodes are looking mighty tasty atm lol.

Unfortunately, best girl Mimimi still does not have much screen time. The boring play continues, at least the script is finished now, hopefully there won't be too many changes... Finally, Aoi remains a mystery for everyone.

This episode, Kikuchi does development. Yay?

The good

-Mimimi is on-screen. We have established that any episode with Mimimi is a net positive.

-Kikuchi wanting to fit into an "ideal" feels like it will have some form of payoff, but the episode never really seems to give it that kind of weight. In contrast...

-Mimimi's limited screentime seems to be driving towards a narrative-altering payoff. Knowing what I know about the LN, the way the writing for this past arc has been coming across conflicts with that greatly.

-Mizusawa. Do I need to say more?

-I do like the disorganized nature of the class during rehearsals whenever either Hinami or Tomozaki aren't around. Kikuchi is clearly struggling to find her voice, and the way they presented this is really good.

-The book is finished, and that ending is bittersweet as heck. I'm down for it.

The bad

-Tomozaki has developed a lot over the course of the series, so him shrugging it off when Kikuchi's phrasing feels "off" to him is a bit out of character. If we want to compare, the first two arcs of the season had him dealing with situations where the natures of two people were causing problems, and he wanted to figure out how to alter their natures into something less difficult. Knowing how to manipulate people and understanding a bit more about the natures of others, it feels really weird that he needed a Mizusawa prompting to realize that maybe what Kikuchi was doing was trying to change her own nature.

-I've got to disagree with Tomozaki here. I think a bittersweet ending fits the book perfectly, and presents a more believable outcome to Kris's story, which it largely is. She is ignorant of the world and wants to live in it. A series of outings has her realize that while there is beauty, one must work towards it. It also makes sense to me that the castle staff don't care. People attribute value to each other all the time, even unconsciously. What do you value your friends as? What benefit do they serve? It may seem like a toxic way to live, but it also enables one to set ideals for themselves.

-Mimimi's fundamental misunderstanding about feeling empty, although I do like that it fits with her character. I want to put this in a positive, but Tomozaki not realizing the opposite of her about Aoi feels again, like his entire character arc over the past 11 episodes has been disregarded for him stumbling into a hollow payoff.

-That ending annoys me in ways I can't express effectively. My best is "why did he need to read a book that Kikuchi explained to him earlier that day?" I get that getting a synopsis isn't getting the full picture, but her dialogue and behavior should have been indicative enough. Every time I see Tomozaki stumbling along with Kikuchi, I end up asking myself why she's in the running for an endgame waifu. Their chemistry is terrible, the writing requires Tomozaki to disregard everything he learned prior, and even as good as Kikuchi's current arc is, it feels like she's going in a direction that runs counter to any kind of romance with Tomozaki.

-Hinami getting a free pass from rehearsal because she's a competent actor. I'm annoyed that another show has the gall to hand-wave any actual problems that might emerge from one of the main actors being absent. Background fodder can be replaced. One of your lead roles is essential for the entire thing to come together. And the fact that nobody calls her on this just feels so ridiculous. In fact...

-Tomozaki being the only one to so far call Hinami out on anything is annoying as Hell. In that situation, it was understandable why his rebuttals weren't as effective and why it largely came down to opinion. But, in situations where she is clearly toeing the line, nobody has expressed an objection. This is the same class, btw, who all actively expressed discontent towards Erika in secret before tolerance levels peaked. Even Mizusawa's apparent indifference is kind of annoying.

-Is it me, or does it feel like Tomozaki is taking the assertive stance with Kikuchi a bit too far? It sounds like he's bothered by the idea that she might write a good, bittersweet ending that he doesn't like, and takes exception to the fact that her perspective on her position in life doesn't coincide with his perception of how people should view themselves in the "game" of life. It feels incredibly unpleasant to see someone who started out wanting to be a functioning member of society is now trying to assert their perspective onto others. If Mizusawa knocks his ego down a few pegs, I'll be content. Only Mizusawa can do it, though. Anyone else would feel weird.

@SentiOnikawa You raise some good points. I would say nearly all of your concerns are addressed in greater detail in the light novel or subsequent episodes. It might not be to your satisfaction, but they are at least addressed. I will give a quick summary, but I encourage you to read the source material for greater detail.

1) In the LN, Mizusawa points out that Tomozaki wouldn't intuitively understand the difference between what Kikuchi described and himself because he has always viewed things from a character's perspective, even prior to his recent changes. Mizusawa has that different perspective (as he explained in season 1), so he is able to better elucidate the differences for Tomozaki.

2) You will learn more in the last 2 episodes based on what Tomozaki discovered in reading Andi's story. Won't spoil it, but I think it was very well done.

3) There is more dialogue in the LN about this. Not sure if it truly addresses your point, but it exists.

4) Tomozaki wants to read the story to see if there are some details in it that he can use to address the issues he is seeing with Kikuchi. You will learn more in the next episode. I think their chemistry is better in the LN, but that's just my subjective take. The anime hasn't been as good with that, except for cutting some of Tomozaki's more annoying internal monologue. I would say to wait for the end of the season to make your final judgment. Although what you have described is an issue that needs addressing, it does get addressed, both this season and in future volumes of the light novel.

5) and 6) Aoi is the "perfect heroine". She is allowed to get away with more because of how much everyone respects her and how nobody knows her well enough to call out her BS except Tomozaki. Still, I agree with you that she gets away with too much. She can be fairly criticized as being too perfect and given too much leeway. Everyone just assumes she can pull it off and let's her go to do student council stuff lol. She does appear at other practices in the LN, not sure if they will show that next episode but she doesn't ditch everything, just some of it.

7) This will get addressed more in the next episode. I will be curious as to your reaction to it. He empathizes with Kikuchi wanting to socialize more, but is in conflict with her because of how she views her need to change compared to him. He's trying to resolve that conflict through their shared love of Andi's books. I will add that this issue, which relates to their chemistry together, is part of a much larger issue that is addressed over all of the subsequent volumes after this season and is a key part of Tomozaki's development.

I hope my notes leave you excited for the last 2 episodes and curious to read the light novels. I can promise that NOBODY that hasn't already read ahead can predict exactly how things will end. The narrative payoff for all of these plot threads together over these next two episodes (if well executed) will easily top the climax of season 1. I'm looking forward to it!

Yeah Hinami has been maintaining to be the ideal person, the best person who everyone can look up to and I think Mimimi knows Hinami is hiding something.
My guess is that Hinami's family split apart (e.g. parents divorced) and probably the parent she wants to be with did not choose to take custody of her, thus her pursuit of being the 'best one' is always there, also giving her some sense of "hating to lose in anything".
Well let's see how it will go for Kikuchi. Her view of life is kind of wider than Tomozaki and she also wants to create an image of herself that the world will accept.

More reasons to prefer Mimimi over Kikuchi. This whole episode just goes to show that Kikuchi has an almost non existent personality, and she's just molding herself to be similar to those around her, in this case it's Hinami, but she's not very good at it. The only thing she has going for her atm is short haired soft spoken and cute, but aside from that she has nothing going for her. She isn't funny, outgoing, fun to be around, interesting or anything of the sort. She's effectively a robot.

She can't possibly be a worse match for Tomozaki...Hinami who has actually perfected her perfect act, and actually has a personality under all the falsehood, or even Tama would be better choices than her, let alone Mimimi.

In the first place, I do not understand her desire to fake her entire personality just to fit in and socialize...you know you can do that without changing who you are fundamentally right? Even though Tomozaki has changed a lot since the first episode, he is still fundamentally the same person, he's not just pretending to be Hinami.

It was 2πr referring to the formula for the area of a circle! Nice easter egg, Project No. 9!

Edit: Srry, the formula 2πr is actually the circumference of a circle. Still a great easter egg tho! - thanks CarbonMD

Even with the script done, Aoi is still on the top of her game, juggling both the class and her student council duties at the same time.

The first day of script practice went smoothly despite its bumps, but when Fuka is concerned about Tomozaki's married-couple comedy with Minami, she begins to feel left behind, and wants to move on as well. Yes, that would be the IDEAL situation, but something about it just doesn't seem right. And Minami acts her usual comedic play with Tomozaki, though reading it off a script feels scripted and unnatural at best. Sure, Minami is helping Tomozaki feel like their usual daily conversation, but with the latter also focusing on the class play, both him and Minami feel similarly ways about Aoi pushing the boundaries to become No. 1. But yikes, having Fuka learn and lead by example from Tomozaki, it just starts to fall apart. Not to mention the script finally being completed and going in a different direction than anticipated, it feels like the good is slowly being robbed out of the story.

This to Fuka, is an inspiration of one of her favourite Michael Andi books, and her ideal world reflected back like she's the sad character wanting to break free and be happy, that is not important to the initial script for now. Even Matsuyama senses this, and offers his help, though Fuka's already doing a rather good job trying to be socially capable. The difference is in the perspective, and Fuka is more on the outward-thinking path like an author, while both Tomozaki and Aoi are thinking from an inward-thinking player character path.

The one clue to get into Fuka's thought process, will Tomozaki get his brain right?

It was good episode. That moment where Mizusawa appeared behind and spoke to Tomozaki was funny, maybe because it doesn't suit Mizusawa to act that way ;d
Nanami as always have best parts of each episode ;]
But I wonder.. why everyone in this anime tries so hard..

Team Fuka or Team Mimimi? If only this is like the other anime Girlfriend, Girlfriend then problem solved right? If only it is that simple. Still love to see which one will be going out with Tomozaki in the end. Why this sneaking feeling that blue-haired gal will not be the one.

@CarbonMD The main problem with Fuka's route is that we spend half the time discussing banal fictional books, and the other half chewing on the chewed up in her view of the world. This creates a feeling of forced communication with a person who is not interesting to you.

Not sure why this episode was 2 hours long, but I got the feeling we gained nothing productive.

Also, wording things in a complicated way, or more like pseudo intellectual, would not at all show the so-called growth of these characters.

From 13:40 to 15:50 in this episode there's a really nice guitar track that I can't find online, anyone know what track in the OST it is or is it just not out yet?

Honestly Tomozaki's future career is set as Kikuchi's lifelong editor, if everything else fails

I wasn't really keen on Tama's arc but somehow it sets up what is happening here. Looks like Fuuka will have her time to shine as she aspires to be like Aoi.
