Manga readers, I appreciate you all for not saying here what Yuki says at the end there.

Honestly the step siblings twist felt like it was enough to fill the whole episode with drama. I'm always amazed at how much they cram in here without making it feel rushed.

The cat is the prince.. and that is mean looking Cinderella. lol
Looking forward to the play.

ok, now I know Kakeru and Machi family background. But meh... don't really care about this additional drama that the writer is trying to inject into the story. Pass on this one.

+1 for kakeru, what a wholesome & endearing character, i'm so glad he rised from his situation & became his own person. that was touching (but i LOL-ed when he burst into a fit in the flashback in his true fashion lololllll) broken families & childhood definitely shape who you become, and he didn't let that affect him, and is so kind to machi as well.

i love kakeru & yuki's friendship, even tho they get into silly fights and bicker all the time like an old couple for comic relief, they can be so honest and share deep stuff with each other. they have so much trust in each other. and kakeru has a positive influence on yuki as seen in this episode when he tried to take things with his mum lightly. that brought tears....i'm glad that yuki is trying to see things in a different light. also he has so much empathy, he was as kind to machi as well.

LMFAO what a casting for their version of cinderella x)

so yuki finally acknowledges what he yearns from tohru....wow....that ED certainly hit differently this episode.....







but i’ll probably remember over and over again

lolol didn't the manga reveal what Yuki yearned for earlier on in the manga? It was when Tohru was on the trip with the Soumas at their vacay home


The anime stretching out the weirdest thing XD are they doing it for the YukiXTohru shippers? Hahahah.
Glad Yuki and Machi are understanding of each other. She's similar to Rin, so Yuki gives Machi her space and compassion. Machi doesn't want Yuki to be locked in a small, cramped space and get all anxious. That's nice C:

No, the manga didn't make any reveal during that scene at the Beach House, it was just forshadowing and the continued building of Yuki's character arc, just like in the anime. The anime isn't stretching out anything.

I never would have guessed that those two were siblings.

The cast for Cinderella sounds hilarious.

Of course Kyou would get the prince, there's no one else who could possibly play that role so well xD Why do I feel like Tooru will end up playing Cinderella???

Yuki at the end there gave me feels again ;-;

really liked this episode. it doesn't have important lore or major things but. it was a nice one. a really nice one. we got to see a little backstory of the vice pres, he's not just an annoying carefree guy. and he's that carefree because he can do it Now when he couldnt Then. he's got his own problems. just like everyone else does. rly liked the line where he said "accept that you can't do anything about it and just laugh it off" it sounds stupid and childish but.. he's right. we can't do shit abt it so why not just laugh it off? take it the best way we can. the cinderella cast was also pretty funny, can't wait for the their performance lmao

Big improvement with the dub. I don't feel like I'm going to die all the time. The sub is SO sad. Dub watchers will never understand how truly DARK this anime is. But the atmosphere is too heavy, can't stand it anymore.

The characters literally all act like they're going to die soon, it's creepy.

I'm happy to see how much Yuki has grown this season. Manabe is a very good influence on him. Yuki opening up more and more everyday. Honestly good for him. In the start he said, Rin and he yearns the same thing from tooru. I think we all have a guess what that would be.

Also,When did he start calling Machi by her first name? I think he relates to her to some extent and wants to help her, how tooru has helped him.

I personally think kyo is the best boi but damn yukis closing up the gap.

Knowing Yuki had a traumatic experience of stuck in a dark room, I was scared he might get a ptsd attack in while stuck in the closet but glad nothing happened. Also how the hell does anyone vote Tohru to be the evil stepsister other than as a joke lol.

If Tohru manages to play that role, then she's definitely a good actress 😄.

Definitely the group where Yuki belongs is the council, except for the dwarf, it's irritating.
That's where I like Yuki much better, and Kakeru is that friend that he needed. And now if I can healthily ship Yuki with someone, with Machi
