This episode started with dealing with a thief and..eh, using curry to lure them out? And lol, the Sadako reference.

They still decided to give Takumi and Mira time to bond this episode so that was kinda cute. They even looked like a couple this episode on several occasions imo.

Takumi, still on the train of Mira being a widow, it's not exactly that. And the numerous breakfasts going missing, which is the result from a ghost being the thief, they can't be for certain after Naosuke's digging into the matter, but let the moron try since the latter is quite fearful of ghosts, with a soup curry full of aroma. And indeed, the soup got stolen, which exposes a hidden part of the Lodge, and everyone just has to follow its scent...to find another resident of the Astro Lodge: Room 7's Aoi Komimachi, which Shokichi recognizes as someone that Tasuke had landed a hand in helping her out, locked from the outside and having her own path to get breakfast.

That opens up the can of worms about the Lodge's mystery, as well as Tasuke, of which his lawyer of an old lady was also once part of the Lodge consuming his breakfasts. That pretty much confirmed that he was a Wido like them, and a welcome party in Takumi's room meant for Aoi if she feels like coming out to savor time together, which she only did after the fact. A quick movie date between Takumi and Mira, as Aoi consumes the breakfast on the table, the former really feels like he's struck a good mood. The only problem is the same old hag churning nonsense like rumours.

A love hotel affair between Mira and Shoin, it's definitely their space mission aspects, not as Takumi suspects...

three questions

first how the noise lady i know she been in a few episode is she the owner of Astro house?

second does a light novel or manga read know Aoi backstory

third was that Aoi in the picture of Takumi winning that chef award or was it a family member

fourth if that was Aoi why didn't he remember

While that castle look like Japanese love hotel, I think it's just Shoin house, since he doesn't and have no interest in normal Earth people's house.

Suprise love quad in the mist of thickening mysteries and heated discovery. Takumi’s heart sure going to went through more hardship it seems.

Aoi is cute tho, she can be my stalker.

Guess the short haired girl in the OP is Aoi then and not a seperate character.She also had a way into Takumi's room,safe to say she can sniff a lot more than that note he left.

Sniffing a handwritten note was... unexpected.

I wouldn't be surprised if the whole building is his spaceship...

The first half of the episode made me think about the *homeless* woman living in a man's closet for over a year and stealing his food.

@Paladin23 This is an original anime so there is no light novel or manga. It’s implied it’s Aoi in the picture, and if it is her that doesn’t mean he necessarily knew her. Just because they’re both chefs doesn’t mean they ever met before, they could have just been in that competition together.

Lol. Nice Ringu reference. I thought that "ghost" was going to be a squatter just like in that story another commenter posted above. Surprised to see she's actually a tenant...

And not just any tenant, it seems like she might've had a relationship with Takumi before. It seems like she and Takumi used to work at the same restaurant. Takumi probably didn't recognize her because she changed a lot.

Aoi might not be a ghost, but her last action was creepy af. Why tf was she sniffing the note? I get that she might be into Takumi but that's a bit excessive, no?

Wow. The tenants finally went to Takumi's room to party with beers and stuff. But at least his neighbors aren't nearly as abhorrent as Godai's.

I really liked this episode. Mira and Takumi spent a lot of time together which was wholesome. Takumi replaying that one compliment over and over again in his mind was hilarious but it also felt a bit too relatable. Guys rarely receive compliments. And Mira gave him one hell of a compliment.

Of course, that old rumor-mongering bat had to ruin it. It's just one misconception after another. That's the staple with these types of shows I guess.

I bet that "love hotel" is gonna turn out to be Shoin's house or something. Also seems like Aoi is gonna be on her stalking from the shadows beat huh.

So the person who was stealing breakfast meals was Aoi who lives in Room 7. It seems like Aoi might be a potential stalker who has a thing for Takumi causing a possible love triangle. Things seem to be going well for Mira and Takumi after they spent some time together until he heard about Mira and Shoin were going to a love hotel from the old lady. Pretty sure its another misunderstanding as Mira and Shoin are looking for the key.

Love hotels in the form of castles, where people go by car, is this some kind of unique Japanese feature? This isn't the first anime where I've seen this.

@0451 This is the second show with a similar character this season. Even similar in appearance, lmao. So perhaps this is some kind of purely Japanese trope to show that the character is obsessed with someone.

This episode was warm and hilarious, especially with the NEET, so I was more than pleased with the pace of it, then BAM I get hit with not only a left hook of Kamimachi's reveal, but also her being a sniffer sent my sides into Astro-orbit!

that's a good point actually, with how wacky the show is, it pulled a fast one on us by making their tenant a girl instead of some other worldly entity. I wonder if she was this shy as a waitress or if something happened along the way.

It was another resident, a shut in shy girl. Wait she was working in the same hotel as Miyasaka and uh she a stalker? She definitely seems to like Miyasaka. Sweet Mira x Miyasaka stuff. Btw that oldhag has nothing better to do huh.

I dont understand ur first question but as for ur second and third it's an original anime with no source material. Yes it does seem like it was Aoi and even if they were working in the same place it doesn't gurantee they'll know each other. Also Aoi's face was hidden behind her hair this episode so it's also possible he didn't realise it's her as her face was hidden.

Oh yeah? Who's the other character? I can't think of anyone else so I'm probably not watching that show.

@0451 Musical all-female drama "Jellyfish Can't Swim." There is a simp character with a similar appearance who also sniffs her idol's things in one scene. Although in a more ambiguous adoration.

So pretty much Aoi is Miyasakas stalker and she possibly moved in right after him. The note sniffing was unexpected.

Talking about sniffing, Miyasaka also "accidentally" slammed his face on Mira's behind.

Kind of a Scooby Doo vibe early on with a plan to catch the “ghost” & the secret passage.
