Eight gates?

Unexpected Naruto reference

nirvash5302026-02-01 13:59

More unexpected reference was the Eyeshield 21 one. Did the pose and the helmet and everything, even a shirt with the number 21 on it.

Ordinal43NotFound2026-02-01 09:50

Wait holy shit did Suzuki actually made a [Chainsaw Man reference](https://imgur.com/a/ghYM47S) there at the beginning? Wow I just realized!

The anime hasn't even reached that part yet! She's talking about late CSM Part 1 stuff. Imagine getting CSM \**vaguely\** spoiled in a slice of life romcom of all places!

The poor subbers at Crunchyroll didn't even know how to translate it in context so the line makes zero sense lmaooo

She's becoming even more of a best girl by the minute!

EDIT: I also just remembered that Tani's VA is the same as Aki Hayakawa's lol: [Sakata Shougo](https://myanimelist.net/people/53502/Shougo_Sakata). The Chainsaw Man connection runs deep!

Eliv2026-02-01 09:58

Suzuki clears the best girl of the season easily

frik10002026-02-01 10:11

This is clearly an [Eyeshield 21 reference](https://i.imgur.com/2LGuPy5.png), yeah? Helmet with a visor, 21 on her shirt, and holding the toilet paper like a football.

I don't remember there being so many Jump references in this.

dinliner082026-02-01 10:26

i mean, american football with the number 21? yeah, that's pretty much a reference to Eyeshield 21

danlong872026-02-01 10:20

There's also an Eight Gates reference from Naruto made by Yamada during the study session as well

ZandeR6782026-02-01 10:29

I wish they translated it accurately. The sad part about subbing nowadays is that the people hired aren't massive fans of the genre. They probably didn't recognise the line.

ZandeR6782026-02-01 10:31

It shouldn't be 'text demon' but 'test devil'
Completely ruins the fucking joke.

cppn022026-02-01 10:40

Many anime subbers are fans. That's why they are putting up with the shitty pay in the first place. But not everyone can watch every show or read every manga.

ZandeR6782026-02-01 10:43

It's clearly a reference to something. Just one Google search would tell anyone the source of what she's referring to. This isn't an obscure work either. It's Chainsaw Man Part 1.

ZandeR6782026-02-01 10:46

The worst part is she's not even speaking japanese. She says 'TEST AKUMA', yet they somehow managed to mishear that as text. Goes to show how they just rush through things, unlike Netflix SEA, which nailed the translations.

Auctoritate2026-02-01 11:15

The dubs have been superb so far, a minor typo/mistranslation that isn't even consequential is not really a big deal.

This show's subs have had one of the better typesetting jobs in recent memories even. To be frank, the way you suggest that they're "rushing through things" in spite of the overall quality is an overly negative fixation on a minutia. If I'm being more direct in my words, it's whiny.

ZandeR6782026-02-01 11:16

Episode 2 had issues as well. I wouldn't complain if it were a one-time thing. The quality is inconsistent compared to the fansubbers and the people behind the Netflix subs.

ZandeR6782026-02-01 11:18

There was a whole line with maligned grammar in episode 3 that had to be fixed a day later as well.

ZandeR6782026-02-01 11:20

This isn't a free service. We're paying for accurate subs. It's not whiny to ask for better service. If I ran my mouth about fansubbers, then feel free to tear me a new one.

Zemahem2026-02-01 17:30

It was even more surreal seeing that way back when this first released, cause in my mind CSM still felt so fresh to be suddenly referenced out of nowhere by another manga.

frik10002026-02-01 09:55

I just gotta get this off my chest because of that post that was on the top of the sub complaining about the subtitles on this show because they picked the wrong option on their stream.

[Look at this.](https://i.imgur.com/sK2alnW.png) This is some excellent typesetting. It even took into account the upside down book titles, the different fonts between the actual book and the handwritten notebook, and even chose colors that matched the original Japanese words.

And the show does this with a lot of the on-screen Japanese text, even the ones for jokes and gags like the [Bibimbap vs Pibimpap](https://i.imgur.com/HcgtdoX.png) bit in an earlier scene.

Ordinal43NotFound2026-02-01 10:00

Hate that OP has been corrected yet haven't replied to any of said corrections nor edited his post just to perpetuate the circlejerk.

RyouBestGirl2026-02-01 10:18

The funniest post here in a while

This-is_CMGRI2026-02-01 11:18

meanwhile the ENG dub team remains HOT HOT HOT four weeks running

Galinhooo2026-02-01 11:50

Not sure if it is against the sub rules, but there should be a post mentioning the subs are actually well made. If the good work is ignored like that, it gives them even less reason to put the effort.

mekerpan2026-02-01 19:01

CR does screw things up too often -- but subs this season have actually been pretty decent (or even quite good) for lots of shows this season.

It looks like the offending post may have been deleted (I see no sign of it anymore).

Aviri2026-02-01 15:54

Also just so blatantly out of touch "Of course I can hear someone laughing why would there be mentions of that." Obviously it was CC for people with hearing disabilities.

iAmMutun2026-02-01 10:30

I saw that post after finishing this episode, but before seeing this episode discussion, was hella confused by what OP was talking about for a bit until I realized from the comments that OP had their CC/sub setting messed up. One time that CR did something good but got slandered by misinformation instead.

The high upvote number was probably by the people who only read the title, I suppose.

PeaceAlien2026-02-01 15:12

Their complaint is about subtitles, but it's about a certain setting on the dub. Some weeks if you watch early enough, that version of the dub setting isn't available yet.

Kewlmyc2026-02-01 11:25

It was the worst show this season to use as an example for "bad subtitles". The typesetting goes so above and beyond, that it's reminding me of old fansubs.

thisisdropd2026-02-01 10:02

>*It’s sort of… like we’re a couple*

Does she know?

Felt bad for Taira. All he wanted was a job where he could work in peace and quiet then on his first day he had somehow encountered most of his mates. I reckon he'd soon ask his boss for hazard pay.

Ordinal43NotFound2026-02-01 10:20

I think someone like Taira deep down appreciates that a lot of his friends are visiting even if he shrugs them off on the surface.

Dude's a tsundere lol

This-is_CMGRI2026-02-01 11:11

a [depressed](https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2950741/depressed-cubic) tsundere.

testthrowawayzz2026-02-01 11:37

The "say something!" line he said to Tani when Tani had no comment on him working was hilarious.

CooroSnowFox2026-02-01 14:09

He expects Tani to be the one doing the talking?

testthrowawayzz2026-02-01 20:27

He’s expecting a tsukkomi out of someone that doesn’t talk often lol

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:55

Taira: "I don't want you here but it's even weirder when you act like you haven't noticed I am!"

TyraniTEMPESTar2026-02-01 10:04

Would Suzuki even be allowed to buy cigarettes for her brother?
Talk about worrying about her friends thinking she's a delinquent lol

danlong872026-02-01 10:42

iirc the age limit to buy cigarettes in Japan is 20y/o, and she even said she can't do that when her brother requested (which means he's at least 4-5years older than her at this point)

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:29

>Talk about worrying about her friends thinking she's a delinquent lol

There's a reason she and her brother are known by police lol.

CrimsonGear802026-02-01 10:06

She forgot her bro’s cigs

This-is_CMGRI2026-02-01 11:35

fuck dem cigs, cops do stop-n-frisk

Falx19842026-02-01 13:17

Even if Taira wasn't there, she couldn't buy them. If they don't ask for ID from people who look young the cashiers get fired.

ObvsThrowaway51202026-02-01 10:12

Suzuki just said “deuces” and disappeared into the ether the minute Tani stopped by the convenience store lol. Personally, I think she looks cute in the middle school gym shorts with her hair tied up.

It’s kind of adorable how Tani and Suzuki are on the same wavelength sometimes. Like that thing about the smell of grass after the rain or the bibimbap. So cute. I liked that festival date as well. Maybe next year they’ll smooch hahaha.

Kirosh22026-02-01 11:18

I also love how Yamada and Nabe tried to gaslight Tani into thinking Suzuki wasn't there.

ObvsThrowaway51202026-02-01 12:12

True friends haha

shad792026-02-01 10:19

[Suzuki](https://imgchest.com/p/vj4jn8lo378) looks [beautiful](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/6d24eb415187.png), whether [she's wearing a yukata](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/dd1df38efe75.png) at the summer festival or [in her super casual clothes](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/874176102f1b.png) while shopping at the convenience store. [Tani is lucky to have a girlfriend like her](https://imgchest.com/p/9rydnrkla4k).

Overall, [this was another fun episode](https://imgchest.com/p/pg736lekg7r)! The part where [almost everyone came to the newly opened convenience store](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/8a7a2b3fb74b.png) and saw Taira working there made me laugh out loud, especially [Taira's reaction](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/571a784e8a10.png) when Suzuki and Yamada walked in. Although [his reaction to Tani, who didn't say anything to him](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/30e768493aa5.png), was just as good xD

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:26

I really like how having her boyfriend call her beautiful really hit Suzuki hard. Especially when she was concerned about her appearance and her gal pals or guy friends might call her cute but the person she loves more than anything saw her as a truly beautiful woman.

I'm shocked Azuma didn't walk into that store next lol.

zool7142026-02-01 10:22

Lmao it’s been repeated how slow Suzuki is but she sprinted her ass off to not let Tani see her in a sloppy state.

And again, it’s nice to see conversations between a couple of what they think of each other etc.

Also, what does Suzuki onii-chan do ? Why does the police guy know him ?

Kirosh22026-02-01 11:23

From the talk about cigarettes, it seems likely he is/was a bit of a delinquent if I had to guess.

SoundRiot2026-02-01 11:57

Cigs are far more accepted in Japanese society, its not really an indication that he is a delinquent.

Kirosh22026-02-01 12:10

Sure, but he's known by the police, to the point they recognize his little sister.

So either he's also a cop, or has a history with them. And the easiest way to have a history would be to be a delinquent staying out late.

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:25

I can believe Suzuki and her brother have both been caught maybe loitering before or just making a racket because of their personalities.

CooroSnowFox2026-02-01 13:49

I think it's like booze, it sorta helps with the pressures they go through.

Ocixo2026-02-01 11:50

> Why does the police guy know him ?

I’d also been thinking about this. My suspicion is that Suzuki’s brother might work at the police himself?

Suzuki might be so familiar with the gear changes of a police bike because her brother drives a motorcycle himself.

Ordinal43NotFound2026-02-01 16:36

I think it's moreso that they live in a small town so people are familiar with each other

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:24

>Lmao it’s been repeated how slow Suzuki is but she sprinted her ass off to not let Tani see her in a sloppy state.

As any gyaru girlfriend with pride would do.

>Also, what does Suzuki onii-chan do ? Why does the police guy know him ?

Also how many times has Suzuki been accosted by the police to be able to somehow sense them?

zenoob2026-02-01 20:37

> how slow Suzuki

Honestly one of my favorite gag from this series. It's so cute how they portray her running.

dinliner082026-02-01 10:25

>*"well, you know, if things get bad, i'll just open the eighth gate"*

man, i didn't know that end-of-terms exams was that dangerous! on another note, i see that Gapacho knows how to recommend a good ice-cream

near the end, i thought that we're actually going to get a kissing scene, which is a wild if it happens considering how we're only just at the fourth episode

Pengin_Master2026-02-01 13:44

To be fair, we got handholding and confession in episode 1, and this anime does move at a blistering pace romance wise. A kiss wouldn't be out of the question

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:28

Especially when one half of the relationship already expressed that she wants it.

PerfectBeige2026-02-01 14:54

>i see that Gapacho knows how to recommend a good ice-cream

Is there anything Gapacho can't do? What a legend.

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:28

He set the stage for them getting together in the first place. Eating that ice cream delayed Suzuki long enough for Tani to show up.

Gapacho has masterminded everything.

mishi092026-02-01 10:26

The sudden urge to stop by a convenience store on a hot summer night

Also: Poor Taira

testthrowawayzz2026-02-01 11:36

Taira's work shifts are going to be lively

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:53

Once your friends know where you work, they never leave you alone!

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:54

Taira: "We live in a society...where my classmates keep showing up at my part time job."

even has the mandatory season word

[](#justright)

Weak_Season_Of_Anime2026-02-01 10:38

Library girl be having a giggle.

Kirosh22026-02-01 11:27

Having delinquent looking people boast about getting in Tokyo U after understanding a bit of Math, and being told they are skipping some steps is pretty funny to be fair.

Ocixo2026-02-01 11:46

Yeah, she was seemingly also having a fun time judging from her laughter.

Maybe she can also get absorbed into Suzuki’s friend group if they’d do more study sessions at the library?

I did previously notice the conversational books on her desk, which implies that she does want to make more friends.

nyunours2026-02-01 12:26

She seems to specifically be laughing at Yamada's jokes, which is in tune with a few moments from the OP featuring both of them

CooroSnowFox2026-02-01 13:54

Can't wait to see more of those two dorks being extra dorky.

PakiIronman2026-02-01 14:58

What are they, some sort of polar opposites?

Aviri2026-02-01 15:52

*laugh track*

Zemahem2026-02-01 17:18

biglipid2026-02-01 10:46

A fireworks festival?! This is truly flipping the script on Romcoms. Next thing you know they'll have amnesia enducing colds :O

This-is_CMGRI2026-02-01 11:36

CooroSnowFox2026-02-01 14:06

She's definitely getting sick in this run..

CooroSnowFox2026-02-01 14:00

We're speedrunning romcoms at this point

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:53

*Pseudo Harem* returns lol.

cppn022026-02-01 10:47

Festival date was cute af. Meeting outside the conbini was my favourite part though.

Suzuki's afterimage had me laughing out loud.

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:27

Suzuki flirting as hard with him as she possibly could during the festival was precious but that whole conbini scene and subsequent Suzuki run was a perfect teen vibe.

crobat32026-02-01 10:48

[oh my god, i'm dead](https://imgur.com/9QGNYFi)

thisisfakediy2026-02-01 12:44

Her disappearing and leaving that slowly fading after image was the funniest thing in the episode to me.

CooroSnowFox2026-02-01 14:40

She can run fast...

greymatters_flipside2026-02-01 15:09

Right?! That was surprising. Her usual slow run is too funny though.

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:23

Apparently not letting her BF see her in unchic casual clothes is more pressing than running to confess to him lol.

Prof_Acorn2026-02-01 18:43

Athleisure, no makeup, hair a mess, PLUS a family size pack of toilet paper gotten late at night.

For a guy though I gotta admit there's something special about seeing this for the first time. Girls are cute when you see their authentic messy side, even if you also enjoy the beautiful polished side. Like a girlfriend on a Friday night, and then a girlfriend on a Saturday morning.

Niwaka_Samurai2026-02-01 18:44

She's SUZUKI after all

ShinjiArakawa2026-02-01 16:38

The sound she made when she disappeared got me haha

Thrano_3572026-02-01 14:27

The afterimage legit had me laughing out loud.

PerfectBeige2026-02-01 14:51

Now we know why Suzuki is normally so slow. She was saving all her speed for that moment.

PakiIronman2026-02-01 15:03

Anime adapted this perfectly, she fully tapped into the speed force

DragonPup2026-02-01 15:14

I love all the visual gags the anime uses.

Zemahem2026-02-01 17:20

The motion blur and afterimage gives this great shitpost energy.

cyberscythe2026-02-01 18:15

i find there's a lot of great shitpost screenshots and quotes in this show

they even use the word "vibes" as a loanword

Burnouts3s32026-02-01 10:49

Never go full yukata.

Wait, wrong quote.

Adensty2026-02-01 11:12

Another lovely episode with each of them getting even more closer.

>*In Tani-kun's idea of "next year", I'm there!*

The festival date was really cute and I really loved how happy Suzuki-san was when she realized that Tani-kun also believes the same thing especially after thinking that she might have overdone it. It's kind of satisfying when all the small Suzuki interactions pay off in a really wholesome way be it this scene, the Bibimbap pronunciation scene, Suzuki talking about the smell of the rain, etc.

Also, The [OST](https://x.com/seihantai_x/status/2017815244366876852) has been released on digital streaming platforms.

This is great news I was just about to comment about how much I love the soundtrack

Kirosh22026-02-01 11:13

Yamada and Suzuki are such good friend. It's always nice to see friends groups like that.

And poor Taira, he will have to suffer from a lot of his friend visiting him at work.

CooroSnowFox2026-02-01 13:53

It becomes a regular thing and he's the exact type to work behind a counter at a conbini.

Comprehensive_Dog6512026-02-01 11:24

Gonna be tough restraining myself, I have an exam tmr 😭

FarCritical2026-02-01 11:27

Much like how Miyu and Tani are "sort of" like a couple, I can't get enough of just how much she and her brother are "kinda like" siblings. [Does he *have* to laugh that hard?](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/d4ce5c31a1fc.jpg) LOL

Tani casually bringing up next year's fireworks made my face hurt even more than usual from how hard it made me smile.

greymatters_flipside2026-02-01 15:22

That took the worry off Suzuki's mind from Nabe's comment when she said they might not be a couple next year.

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:56

I live for how these siblings troll each other.

>Tani casually bringing up next year's fireworks made my face hurt even more than usual from how hard it made me smile.

He should wear a yukata next time too so Suzuki can get some eye candy!

Gremlin Day 💃🏾

I hate (love) that I can’t skip this OP. I will wait until this season is over to set it to my Sunday alarm.

Oh my gods, these people are hopeless at academics 😭

Oh Suzuki, I definitely get it. That feeling of your friends and partner meshing well is such a euphoric feeling of “Oh my gods, I picked a good one, the stars are aligning!”.

>✨𝒯𝒾𝓂ℯ 𝓉ℴ 𝓉ℴ𝓊𝒸𝒽 𝑔𝓇𝒶𝓈𝓈！✨

Girl, don’t think I didn’t hear that good night 😭

Oh my gods, Tani is fucking adorable.

>I want to be the nice rice! Let me serve!

In the same tone as Captain Holt: Yaaasss queen.

>As if!

This is even more perfect when you did comfort watch of *Clueless* earlier.

I look like an idiot because I start squealing when they held hands.

In the ***best way possible***, the EN dub feels like an abridged dub. The chaos 🙌🏾

It really is so fricken great when friends and partners vibe well together. We don’t have to separately kiki and stuff, but it’s still nice we’re all getting along, especially when humor translated well between everyone.

Like I said weeks ago: big Kaguya-sama and Konosuba energy in this ENG dub.

If anyone cares, the scent after the first rain after a duration of dry weather is called **petrichor**.

testthrowawayzz2026-02-01 11:35

hmm, I now have a sudden craving for bibimbap.

Suzuki so embarrassed when seeing Tani at the convenience store she instantly disappeared! Faster than she has ever been.

She could also explain to him that the standard for being presentable is higher to someone you like vs regular friends.

chawanakorn2026-02-01 12:10

I really love the moment when Tani says he likes the smell after the rain.
When Suzuki talks about that same smell with Yamada, he doesn’t get it or feel it the same way-
despite knowing each other since middle school. It shows that the length of a relationship alone isn’t
what truly connects two people. What matters more is sharing the same feelings and sensitivities.

In that moment, Suzuki looks genuinely delighted and seems to fall even deeper in love with Tani.
When a couple discovers something they truly share, it feels like their hearts become more complete.

PakiIronman2026-02-01 14:58

Nabe was right, they really are in sync

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:44

They complete each other as polar opposites.

futanari_kaisa2026-02-01 12:27

this is a great anime

SYZekrom2026-02-01 12:31

Speaking of vibes, this show's vibes are always immaculate.

That starry, heart-filled fireworks at her line was so cute

CooroSnowFox2026-02-01 13:47

It feels like the same warmth you get from Horimiya... the characters work so well together.

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:29

They tease, they love, they hang out and goof off. And it's perfect!

Ordinal43NotFound2026-02-01 16:50

I'm surprised "vibes" in Japanese is just the same word as in English lol.

Seeing 2 Japanese teens going back and forth about "*baibusu*" is hilarious!

cyberscythe2026-02-01 18:22

it's pretty common for the youth to use English loanwords to describe these vague concepts like "vibes"

i think the Japanese equivalent would be 雰囲気 (*fun'iki*), but i've also seen the loanword "timing" used in the sort of "read the room first before committing to romantic acts"

NekoCatSidhe2026-02-01 12:41

I like how a lot of the comedy is that Suzuki really overthinks everything and Tani never really explains stuff, leading her to constantly overreact. She really is insecure and he doesn’t even get it, because for him caring about his girlfriend no matter what is totally normal.

For example, Suzuki really freaked out at the idea of her boyfriend seeing her without makeup, while everyone else could tell he did not give a shit or even notice at first.

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:53

Suzuki is quirky and neurotic, especially when it comes to love, but that's what makes her so likeable.

It's why she needs someone as straightforward, caring, and honest like Tani.

* [**Yukata Suzuki**](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/aae5a0ced412.jpg)

This episode made me realize how many SJW references I must've missed from the manga. Although badly translated, [I love the CSM reference with the Test Devil](https://i.imgur.com/rnzVSzX.png). There's also [a Naruto reference](https://i.imgur.com/p5110pN.png), and [an Eyeshield 21 reference](https://i.imgur.com/aCVVnyS.png) later in the episode.

[I can definitely relate to Suzuki here.](https://i.imgur.com/WeO7NIC.png) It's nice when your SO starts becoming part of your friend group. In my case, I was the one who got adopted into my SO's friend group. xD

If this were set in the 90s, [Suzuki's brother's request to buy him cigs would be very legit.](https://i.imgur.com/Jrr2MIc.png) I definitely remember running to the corner store when I was a kid to buy cigarettes for my dad.

[Taira's reaction to Suzuki and Yamada was hilarious.](https://i.imgur.com/rPAOqRc.png) Dude thought he wouldn't run into anyone he knew if he got a job somewhere far from school.

As expected, [Gapacho always has the best recommendations.](https://i.imgur.com/pYzBhCr.png) You can never go wrong when Gapacho tells you something is good.

[Like I get Suzuki's reason for running](https://i.imgur.com/A6TiKyq.png), but you really can't deny that she looks cute in her outfit, especially with the high ponytail. As expected from Tani-kun, [he doesn't really care much about appearances.](https://i.imgur.com/PlL9WpQ.png)

[That yukata looks adorable on Suzuki.](https://i.imgur.com/lYz2PrQ.png) I love that she put her own gyaru spin on the oufit by bringing a woven handbag instead of the traditional drawstring bags and [foam sandals](https://i.imgur.com/a2OidLN.png) instead of the usual sandals.

[The festival date was adorable](https://i.imgur.com/3FcKo9j.png) and I'm glad they could finish it off with a great view of the fireworks show. [They almost had a kiss too!](https://i.imgur.com/UzzaIt4.png) Maybe next time, since [Suzuki clearly wants it to happen.](https://i.imgur.com/eE6CvJo.png)

Galactus17012026-02-01 13:40

I love this show so much, the English dub is peak!

CooroSnowFox2026-02-01 13:46

Its Rin-chan from Yuru camp with 200x Nadeshiko gremlin energy...

nirvash5302026-02-01 13:56

Tani continues to be the quiet Chad while Suzuki is just rainbows and sunshine.

NanDemoKnaives2026-02-01 14:01

Lol Suzuki's brother laughing at her in a yukata, their sibling dynamic is amusing.

It's sweet that Tani's the first person to call Suzuki beautiful and their date was really sweet to see. I like how shy both were, Tani was blushing quite a lot.

It's also nice to see Tani getting jealous, Suzuki wants to show her best sides and he wants to see all of her, both are valid.

Qweasd112026-02-01 14:07

Ok that full mosaic of the couple flirting shamelessly was hilarious.

Frontier2462026-02-01 14:19

Summer Break means, of course, Summer Festivals! And especially when you've got a boyfriend, you just want to go out there and have as much fun as possible! Though Suzuki must first face...end-of-term exams!

You can act like a Chuuni facing some existential demon, you can try to play it off with jokes, but end-of-term exams come nevertheless! And Yamada and Nabe probably REALLY need a study group. And If Tani can't make the official study group, they'll just bring it to him in the library!

Feels like Yamada and Nabe share a single brain cell or just really vibe well together, especially when it comes to interacting with Tani. Nice of Yamada to make the library assistant girl laugh too! And it's all just a sign of how much Tani has been welcomed into the friend group.

Sato is trying to make sense of Tani in her own mind, and in a way they're kind of similar in how blunt and stoic they are...and how they can laugh together at Suzuki's antics or how Tani is the type of boyfriend to take what his girlfriend says seriously even to the point of hilarity. Now she's really rooting for you, Tani-kun.

A conveniently located convenience store!? Suzuki just can't help but want to go! And even a gyaru has those times of day when she's allowed to just not care look-wise, like walking around in middle school gym shorts, but so long as it's just her bud Yamada and not her boyfriend, it's all good.

Taira wanted to avoid anyone from his middle school seeing him at his new part-time job...so of course all his high school classmates start showing up in droves. They'll never let him live this down.

Gapacho recommended ice cream is best ice cream.

Oh no, it's the fuzz! No wait, it's Nabe on her bike! And in jeans! I didn't expect her to be a biker girl, but it's a good look for her!

Suzuki was really confident Tani wouldn't see her like that, but of course Tani just rolls in and she runs at lightspeed to escape him...before he catches up to her on his bike. ACHILLES!!!! Although of course Tani doesn't care, and is more rankled that Suzuki is fine with other guys seeing her like this, but a girl wants to look at her best for her boyfriend...and ride on his bike with him. Leaning into him and commiserating over the Summer Night Air whose atmosphere they both love. Maybe they really are in absolute synch as a couple.

No wonder Suzuki has a sixth sense about the police! The local police know her! And through her brother apparently.

It's finally time for the Summer Festival and that means Suzuki in a yukata that she looks absolutely amazing in! Good job complimenting your girlfriend on how beautiful she looks, Tani!

That moment after a festival date montage filled with handholding and clinging to your BF's arm where you realize you've slowly become like those couples who are all over each other with no awareness of being in public.

Nice job finding the perfect spot to watch fireworks from, Tani-kun! And there's also romantic fireworks as Suzuki and Tani's lips nearly collide...and Suzuki realizes she WANTS to kiss him. But that, and their next fireworks festival date, is likely in their future.

cleaulem2026-02-01 14:29

Every single episode I get more and more the feeling that Miyu is my spirit animal. I can see myself so much in her, and I'm a middle aged guy.

The smell after the rain is one of those things that I always notice, too. And it also gives me that special feeling Miyu describes. That Tani also vibes with it is just the topping on the cake.

Is there any romance manga/anime without a summer festival episode? You know, where one of the characters knows a secret spot where you have the best view on the firework? Is there even any romance anime without any firework? The Japanese people must be really crazy about that!

Malu19972026-02-01 14:48

Peak, it's peak

Also it's almost Nishi time, isn't it? I'm so excited!

Ill_Bobcat_74862026-02-01 15:23

Next episode will be her introduction with Honda

NationalStrategy2026-02-01 14:54

What are the odds that you go to the convenience store one night and you run into 3 of your friends and your boyfriend?

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:41

What are the odds you'd get a convenience store job and run into three of your classmates in a single night lol?

greymatters_flipside2026-02-01 15:00

I love the call backs in all the conversations in this episode. Suzuki mentioned liking the smell just after the rain, talking about bibimbap then eating it later, Suzuki thinking that it was the police when she heard Nabe shifting gears on her bike then later hearing the police while riding with Tani. It makes you pay attention to every word of dialogue.

Youa3042026-02-01 15:05

Just when I think the next episode couldn’t possibly get any cuter it totally does!!!! Ahhhh this show kills me in the best way possible I am loving the dynamic between Tani and Suzuki!

Nickthenuker2026-02-01 15:06

So, a festival.

But first, exams.

And so, to work.

Right. That's done.

Lol.

Right. The convenience store.

Huh. Who's that?

Lol did she actually get what she was supposed to?

Oh I do see the toilet paper next to her.

Seems to be a whole bunch of her old friends.

Speak of the devil, he's now seen her like that.

And so she's running away.

Lol he's on his bike so he can catch up.

Vibes lol.

And so she's now riding on his bike.

She's leaning on him!

Why'd she jump off?

Oh lol the cop recognised her.

And so, the festival. And festival means yukatas.

They're holding hands!

Well they _are_.

Kyaa!

And so, fireworks. Wouldn't be a summer festival without those either.

That was close.

thetank772026-02-01 15:08

I've been on kind of a lul on watching anime recently but I love this one. I very much prefer the romance anime where the mc's get together early and they just build and enjoy their relationship.

CooroSnowFox2026-02-01 15:11

There is more fun in the journey than the what if they were to?

Rasputin17202026-02-01 15:29

This show is hilarious lol
I’m loving the chemistry between everyone but man I haven’t laughed this much at an anime in awhile. Suzuki is something else hahah

AttorneyOfThanos252026-02-01 15:38

This show, especially in eng dub, is so much better than I ever imagined lmao!
