Social media these days. They just can't hold back filming Anna when she's eating LOL

This was such a wholesome episode for her and Kyoutarou in their date. It's good to get out of the school environment and be themselves. The food, shopping, etc. They look like a couple.

Dude’s fashion sense is fucking antique lol, I mean we stopped wearing those skull printed t-shirts back in 2005 itself. But hey leaving that aside, as we know both Ichikawa and Yamada decided to meet back in the last episode so to exchange those manga, meeting at some place like Shibuya, really? I mean I’m no resident but isn’t that place kind of posh.. so like yeah it’s safe to assume this is just a date in disguise. 

Ichikawa may not be aware, but Yamada sure as heck is, it was her idea too after all. Thus we got ourselves the customary dating tutorial, but even the most basic things look super good when these two are there. From calling Yamada “cute” to exchanging pictures, we did it all. Also please look at the real thing when she’s in front of you… PLEASE. And hey change room always the place for best memories( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ichikawa had a blast with the date, Yamada had.. no we all had. So we’ll get the introductions done too in due time but for now they are going to engrave this moment in the deepest of their memories :) 

Best episode yet. Such a shame we only have two more weeks with this series now.

A date, that is not a date, but we all know it's actually 100% a date episode, that we've been all waiting for + christmas. And i must say, our main guy really looks like an elementary kid when he stands next to Yamada, she is very mature dressed for her age.

Can't be said about the way she acts :)

If there was an award for "Most Improved Show" throughout this season or maybe even this year, this show would probably win it. Compared to how it started, it's great to see how it's turned out for the rest of the run, especially in the last few episodes. It was a nice "date" per say this episode, even though Ichikawa was still lacking confidence and there was an awkward atmosphere from time to time surrounding the date. It makes the date as a whole more interesting though, and with more growth and development of his personality, it'll be interesting to see how he evolves down the line. Good to see Yamada though be proactive and show Ichikawa that she does care for him a lot. She exchanged pictures privately to him, got him to help her pick outfits, eat and have fun together during Christmas Eve. Was a fun overall episode in a refreshing setting to say the least.

A date with Anna on xmas eve huh. That outfit that he picked really was unwise. The pancake place though sure was expensive. Still the date realy turned into a landmine though especially at the clothing store. In the end despite some tense moments it looks like the date turned out pretty well.

A date but not a date date. (they held hands)

love how Yamada ask Ichikawa to take some photos/videos just to send it only to him. Those memories are for them and them alone.

A date on Christmas Eve, and while Ichikawa dresses antiquely, Yamada dresses just like her model self.

Looking like a straight-laced stalker, Ichikawa decides to dress down a bit and follow Yamada on her whims, and he's starting to realize that she's falling for him all the more. Bringing Ichikawa to places like expensive dessert places and subconsciously taking about fashion, everything is going against Ichikawa with the personality clash, though Yamada is having fun with him and making this their own private affair. The moment when Yamada just touches Ichikawa's chin though, heh. The date continues with shopping to see which outfit does Ichikawa like best, and despite the awkwardness, finding people he know (like his sister) would be a disaster, and hiding in the clothing stall with her shows more than just the disparity in height.

Time flies fast, but Yamada regrets that she didn't allow Ichikawa to let himself loose on front of her, which he did a fair bit. The Christmas illluminations look nice, and so is she. Other than the crowded train ride back home while holding hands to keep each other close, it was so awkward that they just walked a fair distance before letting go. Oh well, this is just one more confirmation that Ichikawa might be able to bring his feelings towards her, which is nice.

Of all the people to influence him, it has to be the manga male MC that he's reading to reflect on his chances with Yamada. Or more like he's being controlled...

It's getting closer!

This show just keeps getting better and better, and the characters are just getting more and more likable. An awesome, wholesome Christmas Eve episode with a lot of fun activities, and it's great to see Kyoutaro starting to open up more and more, but man are his clothes edgy! These last few episodes have been an absolute blast to watch, and it's risen up my ranks quickly for the shows this season. The lighting, directing, and OST have been good throughout the series, but it's been even better lately. Love Kyoutaro's character growth.

Yamada's love attacks were relentless and strong in this episode, so much that in the end of the episode, Ichikawa overheated and began to hallucinate.

“Don’t forget to look at the real thing”

Yea man that’s it this definitely a top 5 romance for me. I’ve been hooked on this nonstop for 10 weeks and it just gets better and better. The atmosphere of this show is just awesome. The Ushio Kensuke OST just adds so much to these intimate moments too.

The cafe date was cute and funny. Definitely love a girl that can dress trendy and put away some food. Poor kyo didn’t even order any food and it would’ve been free 😂 been there done that.

Highlight was definitely the Christmas lights and the handheld walk home, though. I like how Yamada is being way more aggressive about getting what she wants.

Great episode

Yes, yes, yes! Episode just kept getting better and ended on a freakin' high, this show is too good for real. 

They're just too adorable together, and looks like he's starting to believe! Thanks to Ichikawa Onee-san for some necessary spice, lol.

The battle shounen of romantic comedies.
Nothing of this stuff has any chance of happening in real life. Just a stupid self insert for lonely otakus.

viewers are probably 90% loners and edgy teenagers.

if it doesn't happen in your life,  it doesn't mean it's unrealistic
maybe it's just you who lonely and doesn't have any romance? Because from my experience it's more than realistic =)

Don't come up with such stupíd bullshit like that "argument". That's called an Ad hominem argument.
I know your average anime watcher is dumb but this shit is too much.

Ichikawa meets up with Yamada but both of them are there early. I must say that Yamada looks cute in that outfit. Yamada has chosen a pancake house to eat but Ichikawa only came for the manga haha. Ichikawa finds the things a little expensive so he only orders an coffee, while Yamada goes all out.

Yamada asks Ichikawa to take a photo of her but Ichikawa says its better to make a video instead. He is worried about Yamada posting it online but instead she says that she only sends it to him. Yamada coming out with the rizz, damn. After the food they go shopping for clothes and Yamada asks Ichikawa which one looks better on her and he chose one, so she goes in the dressing room to try it on. Ichikawa tries to slip away but gets stopped lol. Ichikawa notices someone coming into the store and its his sister and he doesn't know what to do so Yamada drags him into the dressing room lmfao, its getting hot in there. At least he said that she looks good in that dress/clothing. They also finally hold hands when walking towards home. Wholesome episode.

You didn't deny that you're lonely so I assume you just want a GF and you're jealous of Ichikawa. My dude, you won't get a GF if you will act and talk like this. Be a little wiser and delicate, okay?

I loved this adaptation of the manga chapters so much really loved the detail that was but into the hand holding scene if I had 1 gripe or nitpick is that they removed the cellphone scene in the last chapter tho they may put it back since in the anine he saw the text by 9 and it wasn't until 11pm she called him

Animation, music and holding hands hit the spot, but that funny romantic vibe and her dorky face sometimes, its just perfect. Started really weird first episode, but now i like it most beside skip and loafer too.

I really loved this episode. I just can't describe enough how big my love for this anime. Its in my Top-3 Favourite Anime of 2023 (1 - Hell's Paradise, 2 - Dangers in my Heart, 3 - Oshi no Ko).

Btw I feel like the sexual tension is growing like hell since episode 8.
