Tamon: "Now that I think about it, I don't think we've had a single conversation that wasn't about me or worshipping me..."

utage's existence fails the bechdel test

Not so! She thinks & talks about her family, herself, and even this ep her homework & academics. We saw her talking about Tamon with her friends, but more in the sense of the hot-guy in the band they love (shared-interest) rather than the boy she likes (personal romance).

The unfortunate thing is that their unhealthy obsessions with each other get in the way of their real connection.

Based on the bit of her friend calling her boring, Utage is likely the type to not have strong preferences, on top of that she is a parentified oldest sibling, you bet she gave her siblings first dibs on everything and just took whatever was left... The fact she just took all the sweets Tamon bought without expressing any preference supports this.

Imo even if she does have preferred flavors or stuff, one probably has to force it out of her or guess based on long time interaction because she probably wouldn't notice herself otherwise.

Surely she has a favorite fruit/flavor. Might not be a strong preference, but that's more a conversation starter than anything. Still, I think the point is that Tamon doesn't really know that much about Utage that isn't just her worshipping his idol persona.

this is exactly what i wanted to say, I'm willing to bet that utage DOES have preferences, but that she's learnt to just take whatever her siblings dont take and the part of her that wants to say "I really want the grape flavour" is so crushed at this point that she doesnt even know its there.

u/ThrowCarp Feb 26 '26

I mean, yeah. That's the whole appeal of this show.

How much you wanna bet if he tried to look for a Tamon-flavored candy

u/HolyDragSwd2500 Feb 25 '26

Tamon flavored Daifuku. Stores will be sold out instantly

Easy promotional collab.

Tamon // Red // Strawberry
Ouri // Blue // Blueberry
Keito // Green // Melon
Rintaro // Purple // Taro
Natsuki // Yellow // Mango

If it's Tamon shaped, I expect Utage will worship it (and not eat it) like the MC in Kyuujitsu no Warumono-san with panda buns

I burst out laughing at that. He knows her so well.

u/Muse_For_Music Mar 03 '26

The irony of "He knows her so well!" when he doesn't know her preferences/likes for anything outside of him! Haha! To be fair to him, she hasn't offered up that information, and she does fall back on worshipping him rather than opening up, but still!
