On another note, it was nice to see someone like Nao connect with her. She needs more friends in real life besides just her partner. Overall, still entertaining character chemistry in this show imo.

After all, people with personality that are worlds apart tend to bond well .. in anime at least. And i guess for the answer we would need to wait another week ...

Nahhh, this is PURE PEAK!
This, exactly this, is the kind of thing that any hardcore romcom fan is dying to see: absolute CINEMA!
I never expected a love confession in this episode; I thought it would be another development chapter like the last one, but wow, what a surprise! Takuya had the guts to tell Rika straight up that he wants her to be his partner—epic! This guy is a top contender for best male protagonist of the year.
On the other hand, the fact that Rika is actually taking the time to think about it is just perfect. If she had given Takuya an immediate response, it wouldn’t have felt as authentic, especially considering the personalities of both characters.
Now, the wait until next week is going to be torture.
I’m seriously considering switching to the manga just to find out what happens next. I can’t wait!

Rika really kept Takuya hanging after his love confession I hope she can give him a proper answer soon.

Can anyone tell will they start dating for real now or not? If no, going to drop it now. It is just a high school romance masked as adult romance

I wouldn’t know personally but the manga is short enough that I feel confident the entire story in the manga will be told in this season, if that helps convince you to hang on until the end.

Nao is such an interesting character too. She’s shut down emotionally as a defense mechanism after her parents divorce, so her behavior is so understandable but also difficult to see happen in real time. I’m not surprised she just sat there stone walling him for ten minutes lol.
Another reason why I like adult cast romances is that acting more assertive because you’re drinking to move the plot along is so much better than all the contrived situations high school romances need to come up with.

@BrettWatchesTV I heard that it would take another season(assuming this one is 12 eps) to complete the whole thing with the current speed of chapter adaptation

You need a little bit of Ghibli knowledge to get the Totoro and Heron references.

Yep Nao is the best girl this show for me, but Takuya finally got ahead of Kama for best boy.
Once Rika got going on the beer, it was goodnight Nellie.
What an amazing plan: If you want to know how somebody feels about something, ask them. But Rika still manages to ball it up afterwards.
"H-Hngahh!" Not very articulate, dear.

A nice episode it was but, I am still frustrated that we didn't get the answer in this episode and will have to wait for another week. I think I am going to check the manga for the answer.

@WonderBread1
Confirm that English subs not working for this episode on Crunchyroll earlier (on a PC, just using my browser, not an app) They started working a few minutes ago.

That 10 minute awkward silence after though lmao. So they’re technically not dating yet, but I’m sure when they see each other next time they’ll have a proper chat about it. It is a lil crazy to me though when you consider this all happened while Nao is sleep on the floor next to them, kinda NTR-y lmao. I also just clocked Farouz Ai voices her so she’s everywhere this season.
“But it was herons not Totoro” hmm pretty sure this manga was written before the last Ghibli movie but funny coincidence anyway lol. Another great ep!

Feels like forced drama, two have something serious happen, everything is blowing up right in front of us.
I would like them to get past this and have the MCs fix what happened.

Nao learning was an Ok scene, I can even get why Rika went there to see her. all that good.
But then, just spend so much part of the episode in them drinking, and just spitting out so many clichés of romcoms, that is honestly, incredibly boring.
On top of everything, the episode ended on ANOTHER cliffhanger. A cliffhanger that wasn't even worth it.
This show might be a decent one for people that are starting with romcoms or anime in general. The storyline is just plain, predictable and I
disgusting.
I van already see next week Rika not remembering anything and they are gonna spend one, two, maybe even three episodes wasting time and just putting more clichés until Rika magically remembers and they end up together.
This had so much potential. completely hated this episode.

I could not believe what I was watching. I'm almost impressed that the show ended that conversation in such an insanely awkward fashion.

As annoying as this would be... I think there's a high chance you're right. I really, really hope they don't go this route.

What a coincidence that Nao and Honjouji happen to live next door! But credit goes to Nao and her drunken state for bringing Honjouji and Oohara together so they could finally talk. Oohara’s confession caught me off guard, though! Poor guy—Honjouji didn’t even accept or reject; she just stayed silent for over ten minutes. Awkward doesn’t even cover it. There was some progress with the confession, but given that long silence, who knows where things are headed now?

It sure was a very Nao problem to have. Glass making sure looks complicated. But Damm Nao sure brought a ton of beer. Drunk Nao sure is scary though. Having to turn off one's own feelings though is something no one should be forced to do. Excellent set up for the question though. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Damn that was a brutal ending. Takuya finally gets some points, and I think is owed a pretty big apology once they sort things out. leaving him hanging like that is crazy

Nao's just another example of when a side character is better than the main character. I'd rather have her get together with Ohara, but that violates the Anime Bylaws of childhood friends forming a relationship.... :' )

The confession scene at the end is perfect! You can feel the awkwardness until the credits drop!
Great VA performance, from both Hayami Saori and Kumagai Kentarō! (And I'm saying that for a scene Fairouz Ai is playing in!)
That sound she made at 17:28 is perfect, I've heard it 5 times already! And the timing of Nao's snore made it even better!
Btw this seems fimiliar...

genuine question..why did the writer think it was a good move to keep the mc hanging for that long...what is this..some kind of generic highschool romcom shitshow or what..bro they're adults...you ,writer are an adult...what do you think was the best move...lol and then they wonder why our population is steadily declining over the year

I was NOT expecting Takuya to confess to Rika in this episode lmao. And it went about as well as it would if two awkward people who overthink a lot did the same thing. The awkwardness was... amazing? It made perfect sense why it was like that. So, it was actually both hilarious and a bit sad. Oh man, I really wonder how they're gonna reconcile after this...

I, again, feel way too seen with this episode. The not knowing what to say, so I just shut down and not speak. I let out a little squeal when our boy said he wanted her to be his girlfriend! But of course, she's feeling insecure and all of the drinks she's been having certainly haven't helped.
