I suppose being an invisible man is kind of an existential crisis in itself. He can get around it with clothing, but being in the dark cuts that off too.
True love is trying to understand how your partner sees the world but also understanding and accepting the things that make your partner uncomfortable.
The Demon King's Daughter is Too Kind!! had the subs for an earlier episode.
[](#bigthink)
Shizkua and Tonome's latest date is at a tea shop run by an interracial elf couple Karma and Light (Kaori Ishihara!). And Karma is REALLY extra and can't help but tease Tonome and Shizuka about their relationship and how far they are as a couple...to his wifes' frustration. But, in fairness, these two ARE utterly adorable you just can't take your eyes off of them!
Shizuka may be blind, and has no idea what clothes look like without her phone app, but she also wants to dress well for her future dates with Tonome! Time for a gal pal shopping spree, complete with a Shizuka fashion show! Shizuka looks great in anything, and while Jarashi feels like she has to be more cognizant of her disability, Shizuka doesn't let it get in her way or in the way of her friendship with Jarashi.
Meanwhile, while the girls are shopping, Tonome is getting advice on restaurants from Kikira who is acting like he would rather do anything else than get involved in office romances...but he helps out anyways.
This time Karma and Light are the clients! And what starts off as the couple being stalked (and Karma being a little too excited about getting stalked) turns into someone stepping into the Tonome Detective agency unannounced and Tonome making it clear that NO ONE can touch Shizuka on his watch!
So the "stalkers" were actually Light's dad and her White Elf clan. Get it? White Pharmaceuticals? And Karma has a very...complicated relationship with his father-in-law who hates his guts. And the feeling is mutual! My condolences to Light for the men in her life.
Another case solved which means it's time for a Tonome Detective Agency party! Did you know Kikira is in a relationship? And that Shizuka can last longer drinking than Jarashi can? Or that Tonome is gentlemanly enough to make sure the tipsy blind girl gets home safe? And that Shizuka was already jumping ahead to him going into her apartment? And even invited him?
That classy purple dress with the transluscent sleeves is an A++ outfit for Shizuka, and it's also commendable of Tonome to want to dine in pitch-black with her to experience what she experiences every day. In fact Shizuka is actually having a lot of fun taking the lead on this date, minus Tonome having a bit of an emotional breakdown. But that she's cognizant of it and is fine with them leaving is why she's so perfect. She even got their food to go!
And now it's time for Shizuka to visit Tonome's home and getting to better know him. It's not just that Tonome was unused to the darkness, but that he has a past trauma from being left behind in the dark in a test of courage. Honestly, that's totally on his partner for leaving him behind and the teacher for not even realizing he didn't come back with the other students!
But Shizuka would never forget or leave Tonome behind, she SEES him in a way no one else does, both emotionally and with her senses, and finally realizing she's an absolute keeper...Tonome confesses and formally asks her to be his girlfriend. About time! And while Shizuka is freaking out with Yuka Nukui noises, and isn't emotionally prepared for a nightcap quite yet, it's clear she's happy!

It took me a while to realize there were no subs for English available. **Wat**.
Good lord Luna’s imagination 😭
Her own dad did that?!
I’d be in the same state as you Shizuka is Akazami said that to me 😳
>頑張ります
😭 such a nervous sweet bean.
Shizuka is so cute.
Wait, what’s wrong with Akira? Is he afraid of the dark?
She got her takeaway and everything, she was ready.
Akira was that smooth that Shizuka had no idea she agreed to a home date 🤭
Akira is great at food presentation.
And they didn’t even give a shit that he was lost? Awww poor kiddo Akira 🥺 Those teachers though…
Oooooooooh 😳
Yuka Nukui’s squeaks are so precious, oh my gods. I love her as Shizuka.
***
Seeing Shizuka use her phone to help her identify her clothes while shopping, [**Be My Eyes**](https://www.bemyeyes.com) is an app that “connects people who are blind or have low vision with volunteers and companies worldwide through live video and artificial intelligence” (from their About Us section). I’ve gotten called upon twice to help! But it’s pretty damn crazy how phones are already integrated with accessibility features.
I really hope for more anime adaptions of showing off casual but diverse disability aids.
CR having no EN subs is *wild*, but they had Spanish subs. So ah well.
I really like how their handling Shizuka's disability. It's something she's really adapted to and is comfortable with, and even feels some confidence in being able to manage, and it's just a natural component in her relationship with people be it romance or friendship.
Perhaps because the tea shop name at the very start DID get shown in English onscreen?
this show seems to be using the Netflix-style subs, so no on-screen overlays, only plain text on the top or bottom
Tounome always seems so confident and calm. Seeing him having a weakness actually makes him so much more human. Especially it being something that many people would ridicule. It is also fitting Yakou's life experience, so in this aspect they actually complement each other.
Yakou's reactions in the last scene are so precious!
An adorable couple. Of course the series title sort of alerted us that this relationship might move faster than average. So it is nice to see the name did not raise false expectations.
[](#harukathonk)
but in all seriousness I think with the different races shown there is probably a argument for a race of invisible “men” after all we have “white” elf’s and dark elves, alien odditys and cat people as a quick list so far.
I'll check it out!! 😊
The scene which gave me most food for thought was Shizuka going shopping for clothes with Jarashi. Of course I enjoyed watching Shizuka try on new outfits. However their conversation was the highlight. Assuming Shizuka was born blind, how does a shopping companion describe colours to Shizuka? How does one accurately describe clothes or other items to Shizuka so that she can understand it as much as possible?
Invisible men may be fictional, but the fear of being forgotten and not being found is definitely real.
Although action is not a key theme of this title, I remain curious whether we will get to see Tounome, Jarashi and Kikira involved in a fighting sequence eventually. After all, they are a detective agency and there will be dangerous situations.
"Shizuka, i know your phone *says* it's blue and black, but i *assure* you it is white and gold"
[](#fujostare)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_argument
TLDR: if you have all the possible information about the colour blue that the universe can provide you, but without ever experiencing blue for yourself, can you ultimately learn something new about blue by seeing it?
Edit - 4pm pst: Finally!! Eng subs are added.
I really like how Tounome is a gentlemen but we already see he’s not perfect. He has his insecurities too. So it’s not like this self-insert with a perfect partner type of romance. I do wonder if Tounome had a partner before though
The stalker mystery was kinda ridiculous and funny. Glad it wasn’t anything devious.
And they’re a couple ! I mean the title says Soon-To-Be Wife so kinda expected it but still so happy we get this kind of progress.
On a personal note, I can understand Tounome suddenly asking her out. I was seeing a girl and we got to the topic of if I was popular with girls in school. I told her I wasn’t popular but severals girls have said that I was a good listener. I wasn’t trying to brag it was just something that was brought up by different girls. And I wanted to comment on how I don’t really know what people meant by that, I literally just listen. But she chimed in and asked “but have people ever listen to you ?” Tbh I’ve never felt the need to be heard. I’m okay keeping things to myself. But to have someone think of you and your thoughts and presence, the way not even I myself did, it was shocking how touched I felt. So I guess Yakou telling Tounome she’d notice him when no one else did kinda resonated with me
Anyway this is a sweet show.
Jarashi feeling genuinely sorry for not having been considerate enough of Yako was a touching moment. I did had to laugh a little at how she later promised to walk Yako home but got drunk instead. At least she tried, right?
Honestly his story of why he fear darkness was really sad, it’s even more sad because this is a real thing, a lot of people are living with trauma that started when they were children and stayed. Hope Yako help him overcome that trauma.
Wonder who is Kirika partner? And i can’t wait for the reaction of everyone when they know that Tonome and yako are a couple. Yako was beautiful in that dress. I like the little depth the characters have.
what voice actors like about Tounome is how easy the dialogue is to lip sync
[](#tomato)
I do also like that we can also judge Tonome’s character from his actions. He’s not cool because of his looks but his gentlemanly behaviour towards Yako. I can totally understand why she’d like him.
Lots of diverse relationships here and I'm betting just from this episode they won't feel superficial. I'm really loving this show and all its characters, very wholesome, very *insert Yako noises here*
And that also means that, at least for him, we the audience are doing the same thing as Yako when it comes to his character, albeit at a slight disadvantage ;p
Clever little trick baked into the scenario of the show.
i think Tounome being invisible is an interesting fantasy condition that complements well with Yakou's since he can see everything except for himself, but Yakou senses him just like any other person
Not to mention how she acts. People might think it's lazy for the animators to draw her with her eyes closed but Tommy Edison, a blind YouTuber, also usually has his eyes closed, because as he said [why would he need them open](https://youtu.be/bbiim4OaqDg?t=21s), and since he's not opened them regularly they're hard to open.
Lmao he called her his girlfriend.
Bonk.
And so back to the detective agency.
Well, guess she didn't deny it's a date that she's going on with him either.
And so, she's got an outfit for the date.
So, the tea shop people are here. What's their concern?
That certainly is concerning.
A pharmaceutical company?
Oh that's a _lot_ of trouble.
Oh... Uh oh. They left her alone with trouble.
Well, not alone thankfully.
Oh... Why the cloak and dagger?
Ok...
And now he's going to her place.
Guess he didn't end up going into her place.
And so onto their date at the restaurant.
That's certainly... A gimmick.
Oh, he's afraid of the dark isn't he?
And so instead they're going to have it to go at his place. Which kinda defeats the whole gimmick of the place.
So, that's why he's afraid of the dark.
Well, he finally asked that.
Lol is the booze getting to her?
Eep!
I’m therefore starting to see a pattern.

There's a suspicious extra guy in a suit in the OP and he even appears to meet up with Kirika in the park they're walking in, not to mention them standing together in the picture at the end. I think he's going to be the partner that was mentioned.
Yako and her noises are so cute, it's nice seeing her VA get another great role. Looking through her listings she's also voicing Lynn in the vampire detective show which is pretty funny since it means two different detective assistants in the same season.
She was also in Yano-kun last season and was wonderful there, and looking back for other major roles she voiced the female lead in Seven Spellblades a few years ago which is notable for me since I've read all of the available LNs for that series and I like that particular character a lot. She also voiced the MC in Sugar Apple Fairy Tale for another nice role.
"Do you have someone following me? No? Good, because the next time I see them I'm going to kill them."
Those two have such an adorable chemistry going on, and it's just what we need. More of that, please.
That Karma guy is a riot. I wonder how he conquered his wife, even she seems exhausted with his playful behavior. I'd love it if they show how they met and got together.
Jokes aside, this anime is so cute. I like the dark elf too, he is quite funny.

All the [squeaking](https://files.catbox.moe/d90c55.jpg) she's doing this episode is so danged cute, hnnnngggg [](#selfcontrol)
and the ending was hilarious
This was a fun episode. Its refreshing to see a romance where the couple is already very much in the process of becoming official and there is no beating around the bush about intentions. The supporting cast is quite likeable as well, but I really like how adorable our main pair is.
It was just the father spying on his eloped daughter out of concern, haha
Shizuka is so cute and adorable. Jarashi made her wear too many beautiful dresses. Kikira is such a Tsundere. Tounome tried to be in Shizuka's shoes but it's quite hard for him after all the trauma that he has experienced. It made me cry when I heard the story of his past and Shizuka's world has always been dark but that doesn't stop her from living her life. I always imagine how hard it would be for people who are blind. They're really an inspiration for us all.
Shizuka and Tounome are the light in each others lives and they both get noticed by being there for each other. Shizuka was making cute sounds in the end 😄❤️..When you see so many bad things that are happening around you, there's also something so sweet and good to look forward to like this anime.
Jerks.
Tsundere Kirika, I like how Tounome went to share his emotion with him lol. I'm interested in seeing who this partner of his is, it feels like the OP teases it being a guy.
I like that Jarashi realized her excitement was making it difficult for Yakou, the way she was describing the clothes was definitely more suitable.
I'm surprised the Dark Elf wasn't actually an Incubus with the way he was looking at Yakou and Tounome on their date. His relationship with his father-in-law seems really funny lol.
