Welp, never even seen Nakatsu having quite the crises of his life, having to see his bestie as a girl, which to be fair, Mizuki IS one.

At least Sano is treating her better, even if he knows he's caring for a girl instead of a boy.

Their relationship is coming along well!

Nice episode despite feeling that it was still very rushed.
Also, Crunchyroll COMPLETELY FORGOT about the translation for about 2 minutes mid-episode.

Crunchyroll are getting worse and worse every week. This is beyond ridiculous. Why do the subs go out randomly in the middle of the episode? That aside.. great episode. The drama is heating up and we’ve got our love polygon taking shape. Everything’s getting messy and becoming a soap opera and that’s EXACTLY what I want out of my shoujo romance.

First off, I love when anime acknowledge girls being human beings and having periods. It makes things feel much more realistic and believable and helps with immersion! Having a chill gay doctor works in Ashiya favor here lol.

That Rika confrontation was SPICY. She played the nice role in those first couple episodes but clearly has a thing for Sano and is getting jealous of how close he is with Ashiya, but you can’t really blame her can you? They’ve been friends for so long and it feels like he’s shut her out but is making time for Ashiya and always prioritizes her. Did NOT expect her to try and hit Ashiya tho. So much respect for Mizuki standing up for her even after that and not letting Sano disrespect her.

Nakatsu’s gay awakening has been one of the best parts of these first three episodes lol. “I’ll become gay or whatever” like he’s not already lmaooooooo. I am really looking forward to seeing how this shakes out with he and Sano.

Didn’t expect to see Sano start long jumping again so soon, but this is the exact mix of drama and progress I like in my romance. The way he pulls her into him in that final scene too ahhhh 😍 great episode

I now have it confirmed that Nakatsu will continue being my favourite character no matter what medium this story is being told in~! His seiyuu is doing such an amazing job!

If anyone needs a translation for the part missing subs:
(I'm not a professional translator, this is just a rough translation made with my limited Japanese knowledge)

Julia: "I'm glad it(the package) got there ok!"
Mizuki: "Yeah. Thank you Julia!"
J: "So, have you met the guy you look up to?"
M: "Yeah, I've met him"
J: "I see! Good for you!"
M: "I guess so."
J: "What's up? Is there a problem?"
M: "Uuhhh, no not at all! I'm still unused to living here and am a bit tired, but I'm fine!"
J: "If that's the case then it's fine. Hang in there Mizuki, this is the path you chose after all. The best version of you is the one who's true to yourself!"
M: "Mhmm, I know!"
J: "I'm still your best friend even though we're far apart. Don't hesitate to talk to me if anything happens, ok?"
M: "Thanks!"
J: "Talk to you soon. Love you!"
M: "Me too! Talk soon!"

Many elements in this anime didn't age well, but I'll try to look at it as some kind of a remnant of late-90s to early-00s era.

This is actually so peak tho.

Nakatsu takes the cake for my favorite line in the episode, "I don't care if he's a guy. If it would mean that he never has to cry like that again, I'll become gay or whatever."

I’m so happy I know some Japanese, I understood the whole untranslated part!

CrunchyRoll continue to be worse this season, with missing subtitles and shows having horrible typesetting still… what the hell am I paying for…

Great episode though, Mizuki had started to grow on me, as I didn’t really like her in the first 2 episodes

I feel that, for some reason, the one in charge of Crunchyroll subtitles thought the conservation with Julia was supposed to be in English (admittedly, in-universe, it probably is). Anyway, another proof they seriously lack in quality assurance. Like a few others, good thing I have a good enough understanding of the language to grasp everything (didn't realise the issue at the start, actually).

Lmao this anime is definitely drama material. Was that girl seriously about to slap Mizuki??? Wtf??? At least Sano and Mizuki were able to reconcile in an episode instead of dragging things out. I high-key ship Nakatsu with Mizuki more so far, Nakatsu's adorable. But alas, the cute, energetic guy never wins. :')

The subs for this episode were pretty awful. Like others, I'm glad I know Japanese enough to understand but even some of the subs that were there felt really bad. I may have to hold on watching this weekly in hopes better subs come out.

Nakatsu has so easily soared into the best boy position. Too bad he's obviously not the ML and probably won't get his unexpectedly not gay love requited.

nice chill ep, it kinda feels like there is sum gay shi but it aint gay.

I like that Nakatsu don't care whether she's a boy or a girl, and in contrast feels like Sano only changed because he knows the fact that she's a girl.

Yeah I noticed that but me being a weeb still understood what they are saying. CR somehow thinks the convo is not important. I guess me learning Japanese are paying off sometimes.



Shuuichi now thinking he's gay. I can't wait the look on his face onece he realized that Mizuki is a girl. LMAO!

This show is such a breath of fresh air! 😭
Sano is super manly and handsome, and Nakatsu can you please be mine? Characters like you (him) deserve a beautiful love story too 🫶🥹
The RA is also really cool and I kinda guessed already that he and the nurse are relatives because they look alike.
Plus Yoasobi in the opening and ending songs! 🔥

I tried every one of my streaming sites and the subs cut off around the 10 minute mark before coming back 2 minutes later. I thought it was just my phone. Luckily I could understand the conversation she was having with her friend but why has no one fixed this? Anyways I am liking this anime more than I thought I would despite the cliches

What did the scene with Truck-kun have to do with anything? Did he get injured while saving her? He said he hesitated for a moment, but he saved her so didn't seem to hesitate too long. Then claims that is why he choked under pressure? I'm so confused. That entire scene was so disjointed.
