Isaku is never going to forget that kiss. It's also obvious they're in love with each other.

This was a very chill episode though. Even Isaku's friends got some on-screen time. Their reaction to Keiya is amusing but good willed. I just hope everything will work out between him and Isaku in the end, with one episode left.

Oh Keiya, why are you acting like such a jerk?

After confirming mutual feelings with Keiya, Isaku was elated, but as they hadn't explicitly confirmed their status as a couple, she was plagued by a fluttering sense of unease. Despite deciding to directly confirm with him, the popular Keiya was once again being approached and confessed to by other girls today. Aware that his relationship with Isaku is public knowledge, he knows he'll be rejected, but when one girl urged him for a kiss for old times' sake, he easily gave in—leaving Isaku to witness it all with mixed emotions.

I can't wrap my head around how clueless Keiya is. It's like he's completely unaware and actually is a dog (and not a guard dog, just a dog), talking about ending things quickly with a kiss as if it's a valid point. Even though he's a yakuza, he just can't seem to navigate things with women. As we approach the finale in the next episode, I have a feeling something major is going to unfold. But honestly, I'm just looking forward to putting an end to this whole mess.

Will they make up in the finale? You already know the answer.

The difference between like and love for Isaku, Keiya's been taking it on the typical horndog level that she is not ready for. And this creates the air of awkwardness between the two, that romantic love is still a long affair to go.

Even at school, Isaku's friends are shocked to learn that Isaku plucked her courage to tell Keiya, but the latter remains as the ladies' man, especially with Class 2's Kurino, which she wants to forget about him and end things with a kiss, which Isaku definitely has her expectations for love askewed. Of course, for such a thing like this, how can you expect Keiya to understand her feelings, standing frozen on sight, and coming home like it's nothing.

Clearly, the rift between Isaku and Keiya is that cold, that the latter just didn't understand anything about romantic love and requested hints from her, which Isaku remains shut, that is until Keiya requested an audience with her friends to understand her better...which he got roasted by them both due to his insensitivity and the TPO of his choosing that made up all of the confusion that he's the weird one out. That whole conversation was hilarious, albeit with goodwill that they truly want him to understand how Isaku felt.

Despite all of their problems, will Keiya get his romantic senses over to Isaku?

Brother he’s a yakuza member I don’t think he’s ever had a proper pure romance in his life

Ok wtf was this episode. So Isaku and Keiya finally confess to one another which is something I did not expect honestly thought they’d drag that out. Keiya goes in for the metaphorical kill, Isaku obviously not ready for that.. but then instead of trying to you know.. talk more about their feelings, Keiya goes in for the kiss on another girl?

I was really hoping they’d show us that Isaku misunderstood the situation and that Keiya was just gonna push the other girl away or something, but nah it seems like he was actually going to kiss her. Yea, I get that he’s a yakuza and hasn’t had a proper romance, but still, cmon man use your brain.

Glad isaku’s friends were able to let Keiya know how he’s sending Isaku mixed signals and it’s making her feel bad. Keiya might need some time to develop emotionally before he gets in a relationship with anyone.

Episode content aside, as usual, really bad animation this week especially during that confession/kiss scene at school. When Isaku interrupted it and the other girl was walking away it literally looked like she was floating or something lmao. Project no.9 really need to stick to one show per season.. please don’t be a sign of what’s to come with Tomozaki

So the waitress comes to their table to take the order and they just keep staring ahead and say absolutely nothing, while the waitress acts like they are ordering something, then comes back with more food.....WTF is with that scene? It's worse than the scene where Isaku was supposedly changing outfits but it was the same outfit in every scene.

Crisis averted! They redconned the last episodes ending where Keiya licks Isaku to death. Woo!!!

Watched this episode hoping to point and laugh at something, but it's like the animators started giving half a shit once again. If only it looked this consistent the whole way through, then this series might've avoided the dreaded 5.7/10 (Edit: 5.69/10) average score on MAL. Even the group peeping on Keiya like weirdos is oddly well drawn. Everybody is mostly on-model, nobody looks drugged the hell out,



I don't know how Project No.9 did it, but this actually felt like they did their best to stomp out all the animation problems and su- Oh nevermind, we got another shot of a guy staring into infinity.



Let's pretend that didn't happen... except I can't, because the animation goes from "actually kinda good" to just "eh" after that point. Oh well, one more episode left. Hope they don't fuck it up.

The dude's probably similar to Sunraku, a trash-anime hunter.

This absolutely settles it. Keiya acts like he's on the autism spectrum or at the very least has never had even so much as a single friend or real relationship in his entire life and didnt even watch fiction to get any social cues.

Until the preview came up at the end, I watched it half thinking it might have been the final episode so I was ready to shit on it for the ending.

Honestly one of the better episodes this show has had. It's good to see Utou-kun interacting with other people.

I found the diner scene pretty funny, especially the really long silence and Isaku's friends' goofy faces. Scraping together enough brain cells to ask them for help was the right move; he'd never have figured it out himself.

You ain't alone mate, you ain't alone. I can feel my brain necrosse a bit every time Keiya gets touchy with Isaku.

Keiya... wtf dude? Well.. I guess to be a professional criminal you have to throw common sense out the window from the beginning. But come on dude, at least try to put yourself in her shoes for a moment.

I don’t believe my eyes, it seems like they actually cared about an episode past episode 2, it’s a miracle lol, at least I didn’t notice near as many errors as usual. I kept thinking to myself, if only the whole show looked like this episode, I’d have a much better opinion on it overall but alas that was not the case. Oh well, hopefully they can at least keep this level of quality for the last episode.

And the episode itself was interesting, Isaku’s confession shook things up between the two of them but not in the way I thought it would, Keiya lives in an entire separate world when it comes to love lol. He even went as far as thinking it was okay to kiss another girl if it meant getting to Isaku faster, in his head that made sense but I imagine we the viewers felt the same way Isaku’s friends did lol. Well after having to have it spelled out for him, hopefully Keiya will make things right in the last episode, which I’m actually excited for because this episode got my hopes up with it actually looking decent, that and I’m ready for this show to be put to rest which I hate having to say lol.

The girls reaction to Keiya being weird was hilarious. They sure ate a lot despite being weirded out by him, cause free food so why not ig. One more episode left, things should be resolved in the finale hopefully.

The autism is strong with this one. Also only one more episode left, will be so sad when ends. Also also we got a ton of shots this episode of Keiya staring into the void, very epic definitely my favorite part of the show.

Sad that there's only 1 episode left and its verrrry likely that we won't get another season since people dragged this to hell plus the shitty animations. Ugh, this series truly deserved better. Keiya really is oblivious, huh? I like that everyone is calling Keiya acoustic lmao. At least Isaku has good friends who have her back and can talk some gd sense into Keiya.

Bro was 17 trying to pose nude for a child, please dont give this creepy ass anime another season. For the last episode I was praying they would do something like make it seem like she was just imaging all the things that happened but nope, he really did that. 3 years away from 30 and you on a highschool roof making out with a 15 year old

They both finally confessed to each other, and he took her yes as a sign to do ecchi with her. Now it makes me wonder if he’s lusting or actually loves her.

She was expecting a fantasy like reaction, he gave a lustful adult reaction.

He asked for help from her friends, and they did the best they could. But then, what did Keiya understand from it?
