| Haruka Oikawa's Summer School continues into its 4th day, and the SS class of girls comes to the boys' class for practice. Of course, Miyako is part of the class as well to practice pas de deux with the boys, and the childhood friends play favourites while Junpei is partnered with this unassuming 6th-grader Natsuki, Ayako Oikawa's daughter. Luou and Miyako's performance easily impresses like natural, and gives retrospect to Junpei about his style of making Miyako happy, rather than pure technique alone, which doesn't impress Natsuki in the slightest. And much like peas in a pod, Junpei sees himself in Natsuki, always training to strive for perfection. While Miyako always looks forward to see Junpei, he has his new partner in his line of sight, and helps by not hindering and challenging Natsuki of her mantle. Yet, for all that effort, all Junpei earned was a slap that can be seen as such, but also filled with sentimental feeling that's in sync and spirit. The "In-Disguise" Senpai really set the love triangle apart between Miyako and Junpei while dragging Luou out, limiting his chances of ever hoping that he would get along with the childhood friend (which always loses). And this is more apparent of their private time in the salon, and more so solidifying that the both of them are a couple with the push. Man, this love triangle become 2 people and a dropout. The Shady Senpai went so far. |
 |
| This episode was more exciting than I expected. Was just one episode that we really begin to know about Natsuki, but I really like her. Her passion for ballet, and the flame in her eyes. The last part development was just great. Not delaying the romance part, just being direct. That smartphone case, I want one. Protect the phone well. |
 |
| Jumpei’s pas de deux with Natsuki was super cool! And the way their classmates brought Jumpei and Misaki together and they confessed and did the ever-so-cliche kiss behind the book, how cute 🥰 wonder how luou will respond… |
 |
| That Natsuki Oikawa out of all people would end up vibing with Jumpei's wildness is interesting to say the least(even tho you could see her reaction last episode as a little hint) Still surprised to find out that she's the daughter of a certain someone. The pressure to live up to expectations must be unbearable and someone unconventional like Jumpei can help her to take off her mind to enjoy ballet more than before. Aleady looking forward to see these two perform together And wow, there was an even bigger surprise. Totally didn't expect that the Jumpei x Miyako ship would set sail with such intense tailwind. Now I almost feel bad for Luou. A damn shame that this will only have 11 episodes for now. Seems like the ideal series for a double cour. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The confession/kissing scene was SUPERB. I love how confident Junpei was once the mood was set. |
| The good: A kiss and confession scene BEFORE the end! Halleluja, that feels so fresh. Always hate it when anime keep this for the finale, as if people can't be in a relationship AND have adventure. Also, the scene was super cute and well animated <3 It felt so real, reminded me of my own first kiss to some degree xD Nice dancing scenes, and I loved the repeated joke about play-senpai lol The Bad: - pls dont have Luou become a total psycho now, just because a girl chose someone else. She's your cousin, dude ... - dont talk about visible nipples when no nipples are visible lol - don't talk about nipples when it's in the context of elementary schoolers - how about no "ero" misunderstanding joke in context of an elementary school girl? Ugh. Sometimes you're reminded that Japanese culture is still rather different. This was such an episode. 4 out of 5 |
| If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you. |
| An un-interrupted confession and kiss?? What alternate anime reality are we in?? Shinpei has got the girl, but Miyako will still probably be Luou's dancing partner, as Shinpei has probably found his compatible dancing partner in that of Natsuki. |

| The truth is surprising there if Miyako really corresponds to Junpei, let's say that she accepted at the moment and looked grateful, she had been showing that interest towards him since before but it seemed more out of respect, now poor Ruo who was confident, just like the other girl, she had great rapport with Junpei, let's see what course she takes. |
| This episode's initial focus on Jumpei's selfishness, a natural consequence of the life he had been living thus far, was done really well. His eyes were opened to some of the mistakes he committed during the festival by Natsuki, a sixth grader and prodigy. A good thing he learnt from them. Next comes THAT moment between Jumpei and Miyako. Although set up by the playboy, I'm glad there were no interruptions after that. Everything that transpired, did so because of those two alone and wasn't carried by plot contrivances. If there isn't an announcement of a second season, then I'm picking up the manga. Seems like we will be focusing on Luou next episode. I have a feeling he clinged onto Miyako as a source of support because of the abuse he was put through by his grandma but we will have to see. |
 |
| Loving the dance scene between Junpei and Natsuki. It was probably one of the most powerful scenes alongside Luou's "demon" scene. I think Junpei x Natsuki and Luou x Miyako work as dancing pairs, and switching them around as Junpei x Miyako and Luou x Natsuki work as shipping pairs. (I want Luou to be happy, dammit.) |
| Damn, I've never thought Miyako x Jumpei ship would see the light of day, but it did and it's cute. It's pretty obvious what's happening here. The womanizer guy is trying to destroy Luou's spirit and corner him so that he could win that scholarship award. A nasty way of trying to get to the top which goes to show that he's not as talented as Luou and he knows it. It seems that Luou has already fallen for it, but I wonder if that'll affect his dancing. I would hope it won't and thus see some development on Luou's side. It would crush him if he loses the scholarship and the girl. I can't believe this show is about to be over... |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| Idc but that was an asshole move from the senpai guy. Luou has already been through enough. He didn’t deserve that. |
 |
| THE BEST EPISODE SO FAR!! Try to imagine this scene out of context  IMPORTANT advice from your “In-Disguise” senpai: Girls like that, who aren’t really aware of how cute they are, just need a little push.  Ngl, having watched my fair share of romance-centered anime, I totally thought that he was gonna back down and saying that he actually meant her dancing, not her. My thoughts when watching this scene: Ayo, Ayo, AYO!! He is actually going for it. REJECTED!!  Wait. WAIT!! MATTE… MATTE... Cho… Choto-f****ing-matte… That’s ILLEGAL!  Call the COPS… CALL THE COPS!!  Props to the ONE AND ONLY “In-Disguise” senpai, Misaki, for totally shattering the love triangle. It makes me wonder though. Why would he care if Junpei and Miyako dated? Does he have some sort of hidden agenda, I wonder. Anyway, superb episode. |

Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |

It only gets weird if you make it weird. |
 |
| A great episode, didn't expected Miyako x Junpei started so fast, but I feel bad for Luou, he just suffer all the time, but I want see what he wanna do now Anyway, the friendship of Junpei and Natsuki it was so damn good, they're dancing together and understand each other it was one of the best scenes of this anime They're both really love ballet so much, both have the sparkling eyes |
 [/url] |
| no way that kissing scene made me blush, what an episode. Now let's get back to ballet. When Junpei and Natsuki sync together was awesome. The animation and sparkle through their eyes made me want to know more about ballet. Sooo goood. Weebs are really missing out, if they're not watching this show. |

| We got THE confession and a KISS in one episode!! This show is getting better and better. I really thought Junpei was gonna have feelings for Natsuki?! Oh well.. also I think Misaki has a thing for Luou, but we’ll see. |
| Subarashi!!! Never thought the love triangle come to an end this soon . Junpei is a Chad gone straight for the kiss after the confession yeah it all thanks to Playboy-in disguise- senpai. I feel bad for luou as he had to see the whole kiss scenario with his naked eyes I guess Playboy-in disguise- senpai wanted to push Luou’s moral down which will disturb his ballet performance. Mappa DDD staffs consistency in animation till from the 1st ep is immaculate. The compositing, background art and character design are so well harmonious that I’m not even tried of watching the show repeatedly. This show deserves more love, needs to be recognised and I would happily recommend to watch this beautiful ballet anime . I don’t even know what’s ballet but this anime showed how much enjoyable and interesting ballet is . |
 |
| AAAAAA??#?!# THE AMMOUNT OF ROMANCE IN THIS EP???? DID NOYTTT EXPECT THAT. WOAH. i really thought that confession was gonna get interrupted but hoooolyttt shitttr😭😭 and we're only on ep 8 too WOOHOOOOO! junpei was hella bold there but it workeddd oh my god. so happy for them natsuki is soooo cute. i liked how there aren't any established romance between them, they're good dance partners who match well with each other, romance isnt Needed for that. im not against it but maybe later on lol luou thooo..💀 uh oh. rly hope he doesn't get more cranky than he already is come on man 1. be happy for her what 2. shes your COUSIN. |
| I certainly didn't expect a confession but boy was it cute, the amount of expression their eyes tell makes it even better. It's gonna be pretty rough from here on out I'd imagine |
| Ah... what an episode. It was a little embarrassing but everything worked out in the end. Junpei finally confessed his feelings to Miyako and now they both are dating. I like Natsuki as well. I think she likes Junpei as well. What's gonna happen from here on out? I like this show so much. Also, the kiss between Junpei and Miyako also happened. :3 Cute. Luou is sad and jealous of that happening btw. The shady senpai is still worrying me a little bit. |
 |
| Miyako really makes Junpei's arc boring. Natsuki was a lot more interesting than her. I wonder what Yarichin-senpai wants. He seems to be scheming something. Is he trying to hurt Luou in some way? |
Joey-XD19202 said: For me it seemed pretty obvious after previous episode where we did not get to see Misaki compete with the others: He must be on a similar level than Luou and Junpei. Considering Luou a big rival. (And he probably is still significantly less good than him.) He did reseach already ... on the mother.Why would he care if Junpei and Miyako dated? Does he have some sort of hidden agenda, I wonder. And my guess is he noticed about Luou and that Miyako is a bit special to him. So he wanted to do this in order to "attack" him. (He might feel less focused now when thinking about Miyako and Junpei dating.) Though: I think this won't last too long. Junpei probably just like her cause she is cute and was the first one to talk to him about ballet - the stuff he likes. Natsuki feels much better here. Junpei and her had a lot of great moments in this episode. Yes there seems to be an age gap? (Don't know how big though. He had been surprised when she announced the school class/grade she was in so I guess she looks older.) But once they get older ... this should not be too relevant anymore. I can totally see some time skip happening with them being both 5 years older or so ... doing professional dancing together. |
| Playboy kinda evil but that worked out for Junpei,kind of a dick move towards Luou tho but they are cousins after all |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| It felt like 5 minutes. Good to see some progress in relationships but I’m afraid it will all go astray. |
| Holy shit, this show really knows how to make me feel conflicted. Honestly, objectively speaking, I think Junpei and Natsuki's personalities are much more compatible, but I'd be lying if I said Junpei and Miyako weren't cute as hell. I feel bad for Luou though, he's already been through a lot. We got Junpei and Miyako sailing, but at what cost. Misaki wrong for that, he's definitely fucking with Luou. Shadiness aside. That confession was something else, and they went straight to kissing immediately after. Let us celebrate the Reiwa energy. Junpei, you were hiding the wrong side though lmao. Damn, 3 episodes left, really hope we get a second season or the manga translations catch up to the latest chapters. |
 |
| Nah this show is too good. This better have a season 2. Also what was Natsuki's reason to slap Jumpei? |

| Tbh I fucken hate Jumpei, I feel like he is all over the placs as a character. I can't get behind him no matter how hard I've tried, kinda reminds of askeladd whom I loath like a plague. I would drop this crap but I am close to finishing it. |

| In my opinion, the highlight of this episode would be Junpei and Natsuki become dancing partners for the first time. Those sparks in their eyes.. and the way they synced perfectly.. Ah~~ I want to see them dancing on stage as partners. I'm not a fan of romance, so I don't want to talk about THAT scene. But I do want to talk about the dirty move Misaki did to destroy Luō's spirit. Oh yeah, I'm mad for Luō. (I'm watching this anime for the ballet, so I'm gonna overlook the romance.) However, I believe in Luō. THAT scene could be a wake up call for Luō that nothing else is matter than ballet for him.. And once he releases his full potential and shows his true ability, that will hopefully be a wake up call for Junpei as well. If he needs to catch up to Luō then he can't be 'distracted'. This episode is the longest of Natsuki made appearance.. But I like her already since the moment she called Junpei "saru". She's such a fierce young lady. I want to see her ballet more! I'm clueless as to why did Natsuki slap Junpei? Because his sudden moved on grasping her shoulders? |

| If I didn't have my no-drop policy, I would've dropped the anime on this episode. The feelings I have for this anime are getting dangerously close to my hatred for Orange. I'm not against Junpei x Miyako becoming a thing. What bothers me is how (and when) they became a thing. That, and how Ruou has to go through so much unnecessary suffering just to push him to his limit. As if the child abuse, his parents not being around, his lack of friends, the bullying and losing his title as the play's MVP because of Junpei (albeit unintentionally) wasn't enough already. They better throw Ruou a bone at the end of this, because if he ends up getting an even worse treatment than Suwa (Orange), this anime will a 2/10 from me. Also, screw Misaki |

| [/url] |
| The confession was so kawaii. But at the same time I feel bad for Luou. |
 |
| I liked how awkward and intimate the romance part felt, while Natsuki can also allow a better explorement of Junpei and also be an extremely strong character by herself, I like the hard working archetype in this kind of settings. The Luou - Misaki plot is building up extremely well too, expecting to see some heavy episode after this |
| Never in my life have I cared about ballet, but this show is amazing. Can't wait to see how this changes things with Luou and what happens with Natsuki. |
| Watashi wa a victim of cyberbullying. Everyday someone online calls me a "weeb" desu. Watashi won't stand for this. 26 percent of bullying victims are chosen due to their race or religion desu. I may look like a basic white boy, but deep down I am Nihongo desu. Watashi religion is anime. Anata wa bullying me because of my race and religion desu ka? Disgusting desu. Anata should be ashamed of yourself, racist pig. A baka gaijin like anata is probably jealous of my race and culture, cause Nippon is more sugoi than your shitty country desu. Watashi pity anata. You'll never be Nihongo like watashi. Educate yourself on nani a "weeb" is. |
| MF Misaki messing with Luou's psyche xD Everything for that scholarship, I guess. Also, did I miss an episode? When did Miyako start developing feelings for Junpei? Well, gotta assume all that development happened off-screen then. Anyways, another pretty solid episode. The confession/kiss scene was perfectly done and it seems Junpei has finally found his destined ballet partner: a super-underage violent brat... |
| w0w! totally didn't expect the SOOOO INTIMATE moments of Jumpei x Miyako!!! 5/5! |

| I thought I wouldn't like this episode, seeing how close Junpei was getting to Natsuki and forgetting Miyako... BUT BY THE END, JUST WOW! I didn't think anything would happen in that salon. Can't believe we actually get to see the couple forming this quickly. I love Miyako so much, and I love Miyako x Junpei AAA just like Playboy-senpai said, they look cute together ^^ Miyako is easily the cutest girl in this anime. I can't really feel bad for Luou in this at all. He takes Miyako and her feelings for granted, and above all they're blood cousins so... Can't wait to see more Miyako x Junpei moments ^^ |
 |
| AHHHHHH!!!! Let's see, very good chapter. Junpei played him with Natsuki as a couple they didn't sync up at first, but then they did, that scene was great. And then Junpei met with Miyako...he told her that he likes her. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SCENE!!! <3! Really very cute that part, BUT DON'T COVER UP THE KISS AHHHH!!!!! This chapter was really good.   |
