This was pretty much a date episode between Anna and Kyoutarou. They even got to see takoyaki together.

Anna's reactions this episode were gold though, and Kyoutarou responded in the most Kyoutarou way possible. It seems this episode wanted Kyoutarou to know about her more. Anna looked like she wanted to be spoiled though..even getting him to feed her. What an episode lol. Rolled my eyes a few times but it was a fun one with movie, food, and all-around date episode.

Lmao, what a way to find out your sister's working at a takoyaki shop.

After school, Ichikawa and Yamada decide to go watch a movie together. On their way to the cinema, they happen to stop by a takoyaki shop and unexpectedly encounter Kana, who is working part-time there. Their uniformed date draws admiration from onlookers. Furthermore, Ichikawa, aware that Yamada struggles with hot food, helps feed him takoyaki with a toothpick, bringing them even closer. As the movie begins, Yamada earnestly watches the acting of a senior from the agency he admires. Seeing Yamada's profile, Ichikawa realizes she wants to know more about the side of Yamada that she's yet to discover.

Ichikawa's inner desires as another Persona treating Yamada like a waifu are pretty funny. Too bad Kana missed Ichikawa feeding Yamada, but Kana's still the best. Yamada switched seats to see Ichikawa's uncovered face and I wonder if she interprets that kiss differently. Ichikawa's internal thoughts as a conversation with his "ideal self" show the struggle to change or stay in the comfort zone. Yamada talks about Ichikawa all the time. It's cool that she stays true to herself outside of school. Surprisingly, the manager-san is understanding and intuitive, a nice presence.

It's becoming clearer and clearer that Ichikawa is opening up about his feelings in each episode.

Yes, that's a perfect excuse to walk home with Yamada, adhering to traffic rules or getting a bit of exercise or whatever lol, however noble they may all sound. But suggesting a date sort of right off the bat, and getting caught by none other than Ichikawa sister was quite a tragedy lol.

Though I’m liking how comfortable Yamada has gotten with both the siblings, it almost feels like she’s a family, to the point where even sis treated them for free when she was just working part-time at that place lol. Don’t do that please, if you love your pocket money. Still ignoring the content of the movie, a lovely movie date between the two in the end.

Oh I recall this visit to the workplace thing lol. Must have been kind of awkward for Ichikawa to go see his girl, who’s an actor sort of, surrounded with people of the same breed, and then there you are… a basic plain guy. Can’t blame him for running away instantly but I liked how Yamada came as soon as she could, just to let him feel normal, like he did some time ago.

Man, Ichikawa is so lucky that Yamada is kinda weird in a good way, you see usually if you as a boy asked a girl to watch a romance movie with her ... she would think you gay, but as i said already Yamada is a little bit weird so its ok ... in a good way :)

Eating sweets while watching this anime to get an overdose of sweetness.

I like how they started to slowly open their hearts about their worries. Love the scene where Yamada says how Kyoutarou made her notice how she likes her work, it is short but I was really looking forward to see it animated.

Next episode will probably make me cry, considering I almost cried when I read the manga. With all the sound and visual greatness we have for this show, it will be a goated episode for sure.

Kana-san in an Arabian oil Prince persona would rock, I’m sure xD. It’s always a pleasure to have her on screen! For some reason, I totally expected her to get scolded by the new trainee, lol.

Ichikawa trying not to take Yamada’s work away from her was massive respect. He’s got an inferiority complex but when he steps out of that and goes for it, like the final few moments of the Ep, he’s a tough man. And Ushio Kensuke-san’s music in the background, this is some combo we’re seeing here week in and week out.

No needless drama this episode, thankfully. It was somewhat building up to it but we just want more of the usual duo, that’s good enough for us. We got the date in this time and some more development, good, good.

Manager-san’s eyes, damn. Some real pressure there. Even he got it wrong, lmao. Can’t blame him, they seem too good for each other already!

Yamada trying with a not-so-subtle way to ask Ichikawa of something are always one of my favorite parts, haha girl is not that good at hiding her true intentions.

"they serve Yamada-size?" lmfao Ichikawa.

Kana is a gem of a sister, her reactions are so fantastic.

I love how it focuses on Ichikawa anxieties, Yamada being a celebrity and living in a different world and that it might be awkward for him and with every episode his confidence grows.

A udon point card lol. Nice to see both of them take steps forward to advance their relationship. You know i think having a date in uniform's pretty cute. Anna really looked pretty when dressed up. Considering both his complex and who Anna is its quite natural to be scared i'll say. But at least both are trying real hard. That last last scene was an excellent way to end the day for them.

Another very good episode. Ichikawa was sure out of his comfort zone while watching Yamada do her photoshoot but good for him with the assistance of his 'inner self' to figure out that he is happy seeing her be happy and enjoying what she is doing, and he wants her to do her best as a result. The train ride at the end had Yamada glowing after he called her pretty so further baby steps are being made in their blooming relationship. Even Yamada's manager got relationship vibes watching the two of them together (as Yamada already was speaking tons and tons about Ichikawa too even before the meeting), so clearly there is chemistry in the air there as they both continue to be together. They have been more and more proactive in general with hanging out with each other whether at school, walks back home or even outside events like what this episode showcased. The awkward restaurant/movie date was a fun watch too overall.

Yamada making Ichikawa ask her on a date was hilarious but sweet. Always a pleasure to have more Kana, she's such a great girl, love watching her. Ichikawa had trouble watching Anna's photoshoot but he did great there, good boy. The manager's eyes, some real preassure there and even he got it wrong, can't blame him though. The last scene with Yamada getting so happy after Ichikawa calling her beautiful was just great.

YESSSS I'M SO PROUD OF MY BOY ICHI
5:45 I'm with Ichikawa's sister here, I'll never be able to go on an after-school uniform date either T_T

Ichi's imaginary self is the best character now
The manager's eyes may be one the creepiest ones I've seen in anime. Thankfully he's a good guy, and now I think that his design is actually cool in a way.
The second half really hit me for some reason. Like, it was even better than usual.
11/10 episode.

Yes Ichikawa, this is a date. Call it a date. She'll love it!

The takoyaki shop, the movies, and Anna's photoshoot. The two are getting so much time with each other, and it's amazing to watch. It's also good to see more of the onee-san. The real MVP of this episode was Shoujo Man. Whenever Ichikawa tried to run away or deny his feelings for Yamada, Shoujo Man showed up to set him back on the right path. So many romcoms and harem shows would be infinitely better if all the male leads had Shoujo Man in their heads.

Haha, Kyotaro calling the large popcorn "Yamada-size." It must've been awkward for Kyotaro to run into his sister while she was working since he wanted to lay low but at least her sister supports him.

Btw I'm not sure about that manager guy, he said he is like Anna's guardian but he may also be planning on putting moves on her hence Anna holding onto Kyotaro's hand.

Another extremely fun episode that saw Kyoutarou and Anna be more proactive in seeing each other more and hanging out. A lot of funny moments with Kana, and with Kyoutarou's inner self as well pushing him forward. Good to see him pushing a bit more to get what he wants. I wonder if we'll see more of Yuki and Nico in the future, because they seem like quite interesting characters that could prove important going forward. This show continues to be simply amazing!

The closeness between Anna and Ichikawa is becoming more apparent. Their sweet date and the unexpected encounter with Ichikawa's sister added a touch of humor.

Now, Ichikawa feels out of place when he visits Anna at her job as an actress. It must have been quite uncomfortable for him, but it's reassuring that there are people who see Ichikawa and Anna's relationship as more than just friendship.

The ending of the episode was beautiful. I'm increasingly fond of how Ichikawa expresses his feelings to Anna.

this episode was very introspective, as if I was watching a strong classical philosophical movie, which anime have you seen that is so anthropological and introspective and shows self-knowledge?, Ichikawa's dialogues are simple yet strong and It's internal, the dialogues he does with himself, this episode was beyond an anime

Lots of Kana fanservice in this episode! It's not quite like that in the manga.

Kyo seeming like he wishes Yamada would go back to being normal but turning out to want to support her ambition was a cool turn.

You wanna know real life? Nobody, and especially not women, speaks to the loner in class. It just doesn’t happen. If this was real, he would just have his weird murderous thoughts from the first episode of Season 1 until he either grew out of it or graduated middle school

Another great episode.

It was still slightly a step down from the previous episode, i mean its pretty hard to follow up on one of the best valentines day episode thats out there. Id still give it a 9.5/10

Cant wait for the next episode!!

Should be the white day ep soon?

Love the fact that ichikawa is now going for the things he likes.

Still this episode showed him that they both live in different worlds and i wonder if that is going to impact their romantic developments

Cant wait to see how much he can still improve. Love the internal dialogue with him self and his ideal self

Someone please send help I’ve rewound the scene of Kyo grabbing Yamada’s hand and running off with her at least 100x already

It’s like every episode is in competition with the last one to be better. Honestly liked this one a lot more than the Valentine’s one. Theme of this season seems to be Yamada and Kyo coming to terms with their insecurities and overcoming them and I’m loving it. Such an awesome way for them to bond together

We get Anna and Kyo’s “first date” which was cute. Fitting they run into his sister lol. The movie theater after was a perfect way to cap things off. When Kyo sees Anna watching the kiss scene in the movie he thinks she sees things through a “different set of eyes” but the reality is she’s a regular teenager just like him.

He’s gotta stop putting himself down and putting Anna on a pedestal. I’m glad her coworker on the set stepped in and talked to him. Pretty much the entire sidecast is so supportive of them and wants them to get together haha.

We’ve definitely seen a more aggressive and assertive Kyo lately which is a positive sign. I’m really loving seeing the two of them grow up in front of our eyes.
