[*There's a disturbance.*](https://i.imgur.com/YHxIADO.jpeg)

[Nice we got that out of the way.](https://i.imgur.com/bcwFpEp.jpeg) I would feel the same.

Commitment is hard. That seems to be the driving force behind this show.

Throwaway7853202026-02-01 09:25

Oh they're gonna do it at school at one point?!

Gonna be crazy if it does happen

ObvsThrowaway51202026-02-01 09:28

So I guess Ichi’s just Yoisexual lol. And Yoi’s totally into Ichi. She just doesn’t quite realize how badly she’s got it for him just yet lol.

Actually both of them got it bad and it’s kind of cute watching them both take turns getting flustered.

PeaceAlien2026-02-01 15:38

They're down bad for each other

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:20

Mutual hot and bothered teen couple for the win!

snickerdoodlez132026-02-02 05:03

> They're are

They're are?!?! WHYYYY

PeaceAlien2026-02-02 05:27

dang caught me

TyraniTEMPESTar2026-02-01 09:31

Seems like Yoi isn't so opposed to breaking her own *3rd rule* anymore.

Mmmm. That post credits scene...
I sense a possible love triangle brewing...
I hope they don't go down that route. If they do though, I hope it gets nipped quickly. These two are my favorite romantic pair of the season, don't wanna see any distractions get in their way.

Arwe2n100e2026-02-01 12:39

She needs a second guy to develop feelings for her so that Kohaku will take her seriously... since she imagines it's not possible to see her as a girl.

Also so that Kohaku is not just a "test" for her... for her future relationships, but the right one, perhaps.

mekerpan2026-02-01 21:05

Your first paragraph is still in French. ;-)

Yes. Yoi still has trouble believing that anyone can see her as a woman (much less a young maiden madly in love). I wonder if another "suitor" is needed to convionvr her that this IS possible.

I would note that Yoi's VA, Rei Ichinomiya, seems to be a total newbie -- no other roles listed for her (other than some bit parts). She is really doing a pretty good (and distinctive) job.

Arwe2n100e2026-02-02 01:14

Sorry, I thought I had copied and pasted the translation. Since the site is always in translation mode, I only see the French version. I'll correct this error. Thank you.

mekerpan2026-02-02 02:11

No problem!

I could pretty much read it untranslated. I used to be able to read French better, but I can still read relatively simple (or movie-related) things -- more or less. (If CR doesn't have English subs up, I check to see if I can follow the French ones.

HornedTurtle12122026-02-02 03:45

She's also having trouble with seeing him as a player who doesn't have real feelings for her. He needs to find a way to show her that his feelings are genuine. It would probably help if he actually told her he had feelings for her to start.

Arwe2n100e2026-02-02 07:53

He would first have to admit it to himself in order to be able to do that.

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:14

Things are heating up between these two and that's because his touch literally leaves her burning with desire despite herself.

I guess it wouldn't be a Shojo without a love rival.

Desperate_Sky_4392026-02-01 20:59

You and i are polar opposites can rival that couple. Going to watch the new episode now. This episode was also good.

teddyburges2026-02-02 03:50

I swear...Tani is like the smoothest mother fucker. Ichimura is good but he gotta up his game if he's to rival Tani.

Desperate_Sky_4392026-02-02 03:57

Exactly. I would say polar opposites is romance of the season.

teddyburges2026-02-02 04:08

I would put dusk in a firm second place though. Having a blast with both. Third goes to Tamon's B side which is funny as fuck.

LeonKevlar2026-02-01 10:50

###Stitches!

* [Onee-san & Yoi](https://i.imgur.com/4xVzVq2.jpeg)

* [Yoi & Ichimura](https://i.imgur.com/ZaKjBwC.jpeg)

I'm so fucking glad that [Ichimura has somewhat normal friends](https://i.imgur.com/PgINbRK.png) who can at least help him figure out his feelings. [The dude seems genuinely surprised](https://i.imgur.com/6dnDMto.png), when he was told what he felt for Yoi was love at first sight.

This episode seems to be mostly [Yoi struggling with her feelings for Ichimura.](https://i.imgur.com/hUyVW6V.png) I think a part of her still rejects the idea of dating Ichimura, but at the same time, she's clearly craving his attention.

[Platonic?!](https://i.imgur.com/yToH8Db.png) I'm sorry, Ichimura, but what kind of relationships have you had in the past that you think [everything you've done with Yoi so far are platonic acts?](https://i.imgur.com/7hsm42U.png) O_O

[We finally get to meet another member of the Takiguchi family!](https://i.imgur.com/BmKyXzA.png) Yoi's sister is pretty cute, and she seems to be very supportive of Yoi's relationship. Now I'm curious what their mother looks like.

I think [Ichimura is finally starting to realize that what he's feeling is love.](https://i.imgur.com/M0FIqq8.png) Dude needs to figure this out quick tho since it looks like [we have another prince incoming and this dude is literally named Oji.](https://i.imgur.com/8fPkJc6.png) xD

Ocixo2026-02-01 12:21

> [we have another prince incoming and this dude is literally named Oji.](https://imgur.com/8fPkJc6)

Yoi’s family curry shop is slowly turning into somewhat of a royal castle with all these “princes” visiting the place.

Now I’m curious if we’re getting even more prince-like figures after this. Maybe even a real one?

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:18

It'd be hilarious if we get a girl after Kohaku (or Yoi) named "Hime" just to keep things fresh lol.

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:17

I think a big thing for Yoi is that she never thought anyone would fall in love with her and treat her like a girl, so on some level she wants Kohaku to fall for her because his attention has been validating for her. And also because she's falling hard for him too.

This test relationship has definitely been totally platonic and wholesome lol.

I see Yoi's sister grew up to be the more overtly feminine one, but I'm glad to see that the sisters get along and are supporting each other.

How many more princes can this anime have!?

mekerpan2026-02-01 21:08

To be picky, "prince" is "ouji" (did this new character's name start with a "long O"?

RuddyPeanut2026-02-02 00:46

The new prince is 大路拓人 - so yes a long O for "大". His family name means "main road" so not particularly regal...

mekerpan2026-02-02 02:07

Thanks

PencilgonGiveIt2Ya2026-02-01 10:55

Hella random detail, but I was annoyed at how when Yoi dipped her head underwater in the bath, her hair didn't float at the surface before following through, it just stayed held down as if it was a helmet lol.

Also not getting all hot & bothered sitting close with him after ya'll snuggled in the same bed under the covers haha.

I'm enjoying following Yoi's development. And loved the sunlit green shaded school hallway scene. Excited for more Yoi.

Sleeperwaking2026-02-01 12:11

I was bothered about her hair not floating too! No idea why, I'm normally oblivious to details like that.

PencilgonGiveIt2Ya2026-02-01 18:02

They wanted to make sure the hair never changed because if it did, we might forget who she is lol

wendee2026-02-01 19:41

Small details like these is why I was hoping a better studio had produced this

Dull_Spot_82132026-02-01 20:04

This kinda girl would’ve been driving me to absolute distraction back in those days too. I felt for little bro when Yoi hit him with “platonic” and then she grabbing and dropping all the right vibes but he don’t want to fuck up anything. She got him nervous and on edge without even trying to. Youth.

HornedTurtle12122026-02-02 03:48

She's like, "this is what you call a platonic relationship?! What's The other kind all the way on the first date?"

The666thMerrick2026-02-02 01:13

What got me was when she came back out of the water, her hair wasn’t plastered against her head. It was still full and bouncy looking.

Magnafeana2026-02-01 11:58

Ugh. Why did I watch this now, that gyoza looks so good and I’m salivating.

Why is all yall peeping over there? Go away 😭

Holding hands ☺️

Whoa whoa whoa, that neck touch

Oh. It was hair 😑

OOP. I hadn’t expected the after credit scene. 🚨Sub ML spotted.🚨

****

I’m sure adults do this, but gods, I remember being a teen and the bright idea friends had to drop by the place where a friend was out with a [gender whichever friend is attracted to] and peeping on them in the most non-discreet way. The secondhand embarrassment from those times follows me now. It was sweet Ichi shielded Yoi.

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:14

Kohaku's buds are absolute bros in both the supportive and teasing way bros are.

Ocixo2026-02-01 12:25

If someone has to question out loud if they’re third-wheeling another person’s date, it’s probably safe to say they are.

That said, Sentaro did correctly point out that Kohaku has already fallen in love with Yoi. It was love at first sight.

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:15

Also Kohaku said that he probably would have fallen for Yoi's face even if she were a guy, so it's safe to say he's Yoi-sexual.

HornedTurtle12122026-02-02 03:50

See he needs to say these things to her. Or maybe Sentaro needs to go wingman for him to clear some things up.

teddyburges2026-02-02 04:03

I'm getting "love stage" flashbacks! lmao.

Arwe2n100e2026-02-01 12:33

I saw it, but I have work this afternoon, so I'll comment later (I'm posting to find the conversation). I can only say, unsurprisingly, for me, I could have written the series myself \^\^ since exactly what I predicted is happening, lol.

Frontier2462026-02-01 13:45

At the moment, the big sticking point for Yoi and Kohaku is if they're entering into this quasi relationship without any feelings involved...does Kohaku even "like" her at all? And why would she care so much if she didn't, on some level, WANT him to fall for her?

Kohaku for his part is also trying to work out his feelings, and it seems like deep down he's just...really obsessed and enamored with Yoi. Like in a way that it could easily be read as love at first sight by his buds. Is that the case? Is that why he can't help himself around her?

My, how the tables have turned! Now Yoi can't stop thinking about him and is the one seeking HIM out, to the point of helping his "bad leg" immediately recover. It's not smart of Kohaku to play cool about the issue they were talking about before...but at least they've managed to secure a gyoza date!

Too bad Kohaku's bros end up crashing the date and Kuwa plays both support (by getting Sentaro away from them) AND teasing Kohaku and making him flustered. Though they also get to watch the Kohaku and Yoi flirt show, which I guess from a casual glance might look like a BL relationship (sorry Yoi).

Kohaku still can't make sense of if his feelings for Yoi are "love," though going straight for a kiss with his gyoza-smelling breath was definitely...one way to confirm his feelings. Would Yoi have accepted the kiss if he hadn't stopped himself? And what does that mean for her feelings?

Nothing like being enveloped while naked in your bath to help you try to make sense of your feelings and the longing you feel for a boy.

Oh hey, Yoi's big sister voiced by Ami Koshimizu! The sisters are total opposites look wise, what with her sis' long blue hair and upbeat vibe, but like any good big sister...she can totally tell that Yoi has a guy in her life now. And just like her dad, she approves! Even if he IS a horndog instead of a prince!

What to do when your girlfriend is avoiding you? Surprise her with a kabedon! Yoi is all nerves and tension when it comes to Kohaku's touch, but that doesn't mean she doesn't actually enjoy it or not want the kiss...and Kohaku is, in his own way, trying to be considerate towards her. Though now it's Yoi's gal pals' turn to interrupt a moment between the two of them, as our budding lovebirds try to work out this change in their feelings as they slowly realize they're falling for each other.

But there might be a new guy in Yoi's future with Oji (Prince!) voiced by Kensho Ono who looks like he's settling on a part-time gig at Yoi's place.

Youa3042026-02-01 14:37

OMGGGG THIS EPISODE HAD ME SCREAMING AND KICKING MY FEET AHHHHHHHHH

NanDemoKnaives2026-02-01 14:37

Kuwa and Sentarou watching Kohaku and Yoi on their date was amusing, I'd feel so embarrassed by them and would want to beat them if I was Kohaku lol.

Both their feelings have gotten stronger, I'm glad Sentarou made Kohaku aware that he's likely experienced love at first sight to make him think more on his feelings. I wasn't expecting Kohaku to claim he'd probably be interested in Yoi even she was a guy.

I'm most confused about his "platonic" comment though, their relationship is anything but platonic lol. He even says that he stopped himself from kissing her because he'd want to keep going.

We see our third Prince (Ouji) in the post-credit scene, I'm wondering if we're going to see a love triangle.

Substantial_Pop54382026-02-01 23:04

Maybe it’s cos he’s never felt anything deep for someone else and so views his other relationships and gf’s and romsntic whereas this one is so massively different that he doesn’t know how else To describe it. I feel like he means that it’s more than just romantic even if he’s phrased it so wrong.

shewy922026-02-02 03:26

I *think* he says it's platonic because of what she said at the end of last episode/beginning of this one, that she thinks a dating relationship is when one says "I like/love you", but he never did, so he might be thinking along the same lines.

Nickthenuker2026-02-01 14:42

What's he giving her?

Ok...

I mean I would assume so?

Lol a fan.

Figure it out?

So, she's going to go look for him.

Yep.

So, gyoza.

Oh, they're here too.

Lol yeah stop bothering them lol.

Oh, the one that was meant for her?

Lol they're starting at them.

And so now he's blocking them.

Lol all she can think about is him.

He kissed her!

Or almost.

And so they go their separate ways.

Lol she hit the nail on the head.

She's certainly in a hurry.

So, what does she have to say to him?

So much for that...

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:21

That moment when you realize you want the guys' attention, for him to like you, for him to kiss you...and that's when you know you're hooked.

djthomp2026-02-01 16:40

I really hope they aren't adding a second ML with that dude calling for the part time job at the end. Maybe he'll just be there as a story prop to get Yoi and Kohaku to make some progress instead of continuing to dance around each other.

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:20

Guy is literally named "Prince," the show is consistent with that Prince gimmick, if nothing else lol.

Possible-Pickle63192026-02-02 01:44

He's the second ml, you're going to be quite annoyed with both him and yoi in the next few episodes

Badman44412026-02-01 17:47

Author said not enough people are saying Oji and literally created an character named Oji. Bravo

Queue_Jumping_Quack2026-02-01 17:53

Yoi is acting rather damsel-y this episode, worrying about things said and left unsaid and acting bashfully around Ichimura. Haha, I thought "Prince" type girls were supposed to be all cool and unbothered.

Damn though, his buddies are a pair of pests lol. No ability to read the room for that pair.

Ah, a fakeout kiss. Damn.

And again with people mistaking Yoi for a guy and her being affected by it. I shouldn't keep mentioning it as it will obviously continue being a theme, but the artists messed up with her character design: she is far too feminine and classically beautiful for that to be credible.

I like her sister, she seems cool. Obviously good looks run in the family as well...

Frontier2462026-02-02 02:07

I think Yoi is meant to evoke like an Otokoyaku vibe from the Takarazuka troupe. Basically a feminine ideal of masculinity portrayed by women.

UrUncleRandy2026-02-02 03:50

>she is far too feminine and classically beautiful for that to be credible.

Ikr! I guess I can understand mistaking her as a guy from behind, but definitely not from the front.

Arwe2n100e2026-02-01 19:10

In Japanese, "Oji" (王子) means "prince".

mekerpan2026-02-01 21:12

I wonder if his name is "oji" (uncle / middle-aged guy) or "ouji" (prince)?

Arwe2n100e2026-02-02 01:16

logiquement : prince

But it's Oji... at least when I looked it up, Oji meant prince.

mekerpan2026-02-02 02:15

see the comment here by [https://www.reddit.com/user/RuddyPeanut/](https://www.reddit.com/user/RuddyPeanut/)

"Ouji" in this character's name basically means "main road" (given its kanji) -- though it is *pronounced* the same as "prince".

heimdal772026-02-01 19:26

She is so innocent..

I don't fully get her complex of looking like a boy as really the only reason she does is her hair style and way she dresses. I'm all for the tomboy look but if it causes her problems...

Screw his friends and screw those girls who came in. I hate when random strangers will make ignorant comments on something that is none of their bussiness.Seen it to many times in real life.

Of course he lives alone...

So is this going to be a modern day Suki tte Ii na yo. (Say I Love You.)?

Pisce5Dream3r2026-02-01 19:27

That ending scene where we see Kohaku finally having a strong reaction and emotion to Yoi 😩 and also on Yoi’s part slowly acknowledging her feelings 💕 I am giggling and kicking my feet at 2am in the morning. Can’t next week come by faster for episode 5?!

BaytaCosmico2026-02-01 23:12

Exact same feelings only at 3am here 🥰

Princessitty2026-02-01 19:46

it seems like there will be another incoming prince! hmmm is this going to be a love triangle?! can’t wait for the next episode

Earlier-Today2026-02-01 21:59

I really hate the contrived love triangles that plague romance anime. I really hope that's not where this goes. It's such an obnoxious thing to have people so heavily keyed in on each other get swayed so easily by some new person showing up.

It just makes everything miserably shallow.

IceSmiley2026-02-01 22:03

There's a lot of realism in this show. Yoi is full on in love with Ichi. When she didn't want to kiss him, it was because she realized she'd be digging herself into a deeper hole if she got physical with him when she suspects he's not that into her and its the first boy she kissed.

Ichi is really immature but he does at least in the back of his mind realize that he doesn't really know Yoi and is just attracted to how pretty she is. His brown haired friend said it was love at first sight but he's wrong and it might just be infatuation. I suspect that's part of the reason he wanted a trial dating period in addition to him thinking ti might be the only way Yoi might go out with him.

Ichi did show sensitivity in sitting next to Yoi at the gyoza shop to block them gawking at her but that seemed to be a lose-lose situation since it does look weird if 2 people are sitting on the same side in a small cramped restaurant like that and Yoi ended up embarrassed anyway when that girl thought they were gay guys.

I thought the ending was strange. Was that boy who called for that job a student at their school? I don't remember him.

SLE-62026-02-01 23:33

I love how even though the animation is very limited we still see a fully expressed emotional spectrum from the characters. I dont know what to attribute that to maybe great writing, direction, voice acting, something else or a combo.

Whatever it is im all here for more of it!

actuallyrndthoughts2026-02-02 00:02

No way he went "kabedon! just kidding". Quite the stiff episode but the development keeps me on edge

Grazalia2026-02-02 08:31

Yoi's sister is so pretty too! what the hell. I know this isn't quite a picture perfect romance , but I like the things they are doing to slowly build this relationship. The consent questions were good. And the way they think about each other is healthy despite Ichimura's odd thoughts. I think it was charming he went to sit next to her to block her from view. That was actually really sweet.
