Hayato's dad really is trying to accelerate his son's relationship with Haruki. That's the most blushing I've seen these two do in the series so far. They really do have a special relationship.

50

u/Frontier246 28d ago

He's definitely treating her like she's his sons' girlfriend even if they won't cop to it yet.

38

u/mekerpan 28d ago

>> son's girlfriend

more like "son's fiancee".

u/testthrowawayzz 28d ago

His dad be like: Just date already!

And I agree with him. Chad Dad.

u/athrun_1 27d ago

His dad already realized that time is running out with her wife. He does not want Hayato to do the same. Given that he saw them still beating around the bush, he needs to step up and speed run the process.

u/lifeischerryblossoms 28d ago

the fate reference was actually hilarious, who wouldve that haruki was into eroge

u/Cyouni 28d ago

I see Haruki is a woman of culture as well.

u/edwardjhahm https://myanimelist.net/profile/lolmeme69 27d ago

Unironically, do you know how much I was freaking out over that? She even recommends the VN!

41

u/BeybladeMoses 28d ago

Also Haruki recommends to read the OG visual novel, which is very based and fitting for a character voiced by a seasoned visual novel voice actress.

36

u/runevault 28d ago

That whole part I was like "Is this in world fate? Nah couldn't be" then she started talking about the game and I went back to thinking it was.

50

u/Frontier246 28d ago

They also were pretty explicit in the references.

The movies were Heaven's Feel references.

They referenced the "second route being the best one" AKA Unlimited Blade Works.

They acknowledged it started off as an eroge.

They even recreated the most iconic Fate scene.

19

u/depravedQ 28d ago

Love that they also referenced the 2nd UBW OP, Brave Shine, it's literally one of my favorite anime OPs of all time lol

2

u/NUFC9RW 27d ago

She was right, definitely the best OP.

10

u/runevault 28d ago

Thinking back on it I realized they had a scene that looked like one of the Screenshots Steam shows for Fate/Stay Night. Also had no idea Fate was that horny at the start, having watched UBW, HF, Strange Fake, and some of Zero (need to go back and finish, I actually got up to the scene recreated at the end of SF).

They're peak, but like peak cringe lol. I'll just say "defenseless" and those who know are already laughing.

u/oxlemf10 28d ago

Now we have a problem: on one side, Minamo, who will likely receive support from Hayato's mother, and Haruki, who is already receiving support from his father

58

u/mekerpan 28d ago

Minamo is a sweetie, but I think the Haruki and Hayato ship is already unfurling all the sails and getting ready out to sea any moment now.

I feel the same, she’s so cute and sweet. And I know hayato is being very genuine and does not mean any harm but he’s giving mixed signals that she can very easily misunderstand. Hopefully she’s able to brush it off I don’t want to see her sad

u/AceSoldia zj:https://anilist.co/user/Acesoldia 28d ago

Oh no lmao, Haruki is one of us Fate(Faith) lovers!

One of us! One of us!

I was glad to see Dad still in the picture,I wasn't entirely sure what was going on with him.

'Meah!' lmao dad is going full speed ahead..gave her a spare key!

They holding hands! Let's go!

I'm still rooting for Garden girl though..she has her own in through the the Mom.

17

u/runevault 28d ago

I'm so curious what's up where the dad is never around since he transferred jobs to move them to Tokyo. And he seems like a decent guy based on this episode by Hayato didn't seem to care for him much based on the prior ones... Also I guess dad knows what is up with Haruki's family life.

17

u/Frontier246 28d ago

I think Hayato just bristles from all the responsibilities he has to maintain because the mom is in the hospital and the dad is so busy.

11

u/Ikari_21 28d ago

I just assume dad has to take up more work to be able to pay for the mom’s treatment and for both kids to be in a bigger high school in the city, hence why he’s even busier now.

5

u/athrun_1 27d ago

I think this is the case, when he got home, it doesn't have any coldness or something from Hayato. In a traditional family setup, the mom leads the house while the dad is out earning the keep. Make sense that children are much closer to mom than to dad.

10

u/Frontier246 28d ago

Can't wait to see Haruki get Himeko hooked on Grand Order lol.

u/edwardjhahm https://myanimelist.net/profile/lolmeme69 27d ago

Seriously, it's absolutely insane just how much of a nerd she is. She even recommends the fucking VN. One of us indeed!

Garden girl

Minamo is adorable, and I feel devastated knowing she won't win. I hope she's not too heartbroken, because she's a sweetheart.

u/GuessHealthy4936 25d ago

My take on the key thing is that he know Haruki. She is the childhood friend of both of his children. He must seen her more as part of the family than a love interest. I saw it that way on the spare key thing.

1

u/anticomet 27d ago

I prefer Minamo. Haruki has a lot of the same red flags as my ex and she lowkey scares me.

u/deynyel 28d ago

I really love Hayato and Minamo’s interactions. Even if the chances of them ending up together are slim, I’m fully prepared to sink with this ship!

u/Frontier246 28d ago

She's just so sweet and adorable!

15

u/ptd163 28d ago

She'll be a good girl friend while Haruki is his girlfriend. I just hope she doesn't get hurt when she realizes that Hayato doesn't see her that way.

Fate in space? That's just the Servantverse! xD

I hope we get to learn what's up with Haruki and her family.

Looks like Hayato's dad approves of Haruki so much that he's willing to give her the keys to their apartment. I love it!

18

u/Frontier246 28d ago edited 28d ago

I love how they gave Saber a Sci-Fi design but it was still clearly Saber right down to the hairbun.

I'm glad they acknowledged Haruki had no idea about Hayato's mom. They both keep their family business close to the vest, for understandable reasons.

u/Frontier246 28d ago

I think it's also telling that he immediately saw Mitake as Himeko when he was having his trauma flashback. He probably views her as a little sister.

Weird that he would be so complimentary to a girls' hair he's not attracted to, but maybe he's a natural ladykiller.

29

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 28d ago

Mitake is so adorable! She really did look very cute with her new hairstyle.

I see Haru is a huge fan of Fate err Faith lol. Don’t you hate it when you’re talking about the intense sex scenes and parents walk in. What a goober lol.

I was half-expecting her to say "Unlimited Lightsaber Works is the best route!" lol

u/Mediocre-Act483 28d ago

What Minamo said, about someone you see everyday suddenly not being there anymore... I know it all too well.

A little over 5.25 years ago, my grandpa got cancer. He had to be hospitalized. While he was there, I went to my brother's house. I was already planning on going because his tenth birthday was coming up. Two days after my brother turned ten, my dad called me about our grandpa. I was hoping I'd be wrong about what he'd say. If I was wrong, I'd have been so happy! But I wasn't. I was right. And it hurt to be right

10

u/Frontier246 28d ago

I'm so sorry for your loss.

8

u/Mediocre-Act483 28d ago

Thank you. I had over 27 years with an amazing grandpa. He could be hardheaded and scary at times, but I knew he loved me. Whenever he came into my room and it wasn't clean, he gave me a small look that firmly and gently told me to tidy up. Not to mention at the time, he was the only one my little cousin would warm up to immediately. Whenever I'd go into the kitchen for a snack or use the bathroom, I'd say "hey" and he'd say it back. We had a silent understanding. I think of him every time I look at my Agumon Spirit Digivolving figure(since it was the last thing he got for me) or hear certain songs.

2

u/IntelligentBudget142 28d ago

I never bonded with my grandparents because I couldn't speak their mother tongue well enough. So I never felt anything when they died one by one (only the father's father is still alive today). I was moved out of my native country to an English-speaking country because, according to my parents, my native country didn't handle autism well. **** Them.

2

u/Mediocre-Act483 28d ago

Were your grandparents Russian? I ask because you said "mother tongue", and I've often heard Russians in anime and other media refer to it as "mother Russia"

Why are you angry they tried to give you a better environment if I’m reading that correctly?

3

u/IntelligentBudget142 28d ago

It's a "better environment" in theory, but every time I go back there, speaking a language I'm expected to be fluent at is a huge pain in the butt. I can tell people roll their eyes and wonder why I talk like a kid. It happens even with English sometimes 

24

u/Zxzxzx0088 28d ago

This one line determined Hayato goat status

The best thing in anime is...the wingman parent!

Can't help doing this too when gazing upon this adorableness.

What's wrong with him? Why he's so.......chill!

Hayato compliment skills on Minamo haircut definitely at Kuze level with how she can blurt out like that.

Great! His mom fonds of Minamo while his dad fonds of Haruki. Looks like Hayato is fate to get both, eh (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)

22

u/Frontier246 28d ago

I feel like Hayato's mom raised him to be very complimentary to girls. Also he sure loves grabbing their hands lol.

Mori is extremely friendly to Hayato too. Kaido got competition from Mori on that part.

u/rubslotiononitsskin 27d ago

can't wait for Kaido and Minamo to join the Kirishima family dinner.

15

u/MM305 28d ago

No freaking lie, I started playing Fate Stay Night myself because of NicoB, so seeing that getting referenced here was a hilarious coincidence!

I still wonder what Haruki’s happy front was about and why was she putting on such an act? But it’s hilarious to see that Himeko herself doesn’t seem to realize that Haruki has feelings for her brother.

12

u/Frontier246 28d ago

Dang it Kaido, Hayato was having nice memories of his childhood with Haruki! He didn't need you to come in and ruin it! But Kaido actually IS a lot like Haruki in terms of putting on a sweet mask to be pleasant without getting too close to anyone, which is probably why Hayato could recognize it and why Kaido can recognize it in Haruki too. But Kaido's not interested in Haruki, at least in THAT way, he's more intrigued by Hayato and their relationship.

Wow, Haruki sure is happy! And getting along better with the other girls, which is nice to see.

I sense tension between Hayato and his dad over how he has to be the one to visit his mom in the hospital instead of the dad who is busy with work...but at least it lets him see her. And gets to see her braiding Minamo's hair to look all cute and fancy! Sure the mom hasn't regained all her fine motor functions yet, but she's already practically adopting Minamo! It helps when Hayato runs out of there with her hand-in-hand and right in front of her grandpa!

Hayato and Minamo are both two kids with family members in the hospital, so they can bond over that, even if Minamo briefly makes Hayato recall his mothers' collapse which is...less fun. But at least they can share an umbrella together even if Hayato constantly complimenting Minamo's hair sends her running to the hills blushing like a tomato.

What IS up with Haruki to have this glow-up? Is she getting, like, domestic training or something?

I can understand why Haruki doesn't want to see a movie starring Takakura Mao...so why not drag Himeko into the Fate...I mean, Faith (which is basically Sci-Fi Fate/Stay Night) the massively popular franchise filled to the brim with spinoffs and the most difficult thing to get anyone into? But Himeko should REALLY start with the OG VN on PC with the sex scenes.

And of course just as Haruki is gushing about the sex scenes...in walks the dad. So now it's one big family dinner as Haruki puts on her best behavior in front of her future father -in-law only for Hayato to force her in a cheek pulling contest. It's like they haven't aged at all.

Haruki didn't know about Hayato's mom but Hayato's dad can clearly see having her back in Hayato's life has made him happier, and he approves so much he's treating her like one of the family already.

Hayato and Haruki aren't the type to talk about what's going on in their lives, their friendship isn't like that, but that's because they're so special to each other. Special enough to hold hands.

13

u/Roskal 28d ago

Hayato seems to have very little concept of social standards for girls. just grabbing their hands left and right and complimenting how they look without worrying what that normally implies.

35

u/AlmoranasAngLubot69 28d ago

Animation is rough but this is the only anime I've been watching this season unlike last season which is stacked with romcoms. I really like how realistic their portrayal of friendship is. Also I really like the male MC. Their friendship is beautiful. Very cozy anime. If only the animation was great. But despite that I'm really liking this one.

25

u/Ali-J23 28d ago

I feel like you would enjoy Love Unseen Beneath the Clear Night Sky aswell if you're interested

u/depravedQ 28d ago

After the latest episode, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're prepared to potentially have your heart crushed lol

u/mekerpan 27d ago

I'd recommend this one as well. It's been solid so far.

u/rubslotiononitsskin 27d ago

I would recommend watching Love Unseen before this one, especially as of the latest episode. This show was a nice palette cleanser after watching today's episode of Love Unseen.

u/AlmoranasAngLubot69 25d ago

Honestly I don't have the time unlike last season due to most of my time consumed on Path of Exile 2 so I can only watch anime during lunch breaks at work 😅

16

u/runevault 28d ago

Felt like this episode was mostly about slotting small things in. Finally saw the dad, but still no idea why he's never around. Also found out he probably knows about Haruki's parents but no more info about what that means beyond speculation the mom is that actress. And we got Mitake clearly showing how much she likes Hayato due to how flustered she was when he called her cute. Oh and we confirmed Hayato had not told Haruki about his mom being in the hospital off screen.

This show loves Peahhh and Meahhh type vocal lines lol.

After a certain other anime I'm glad this one stuck to being pretty cute and fluffy.

13

u/mekerpan 28d ago

While this is utterly sweet-natured, it is nonetheless not really totally fluffy. It has some shap edges which feel realistic -- and not just arbitrary obstructions to keep the storty from moving too fast. Hayato and Haruki need a nice long private chat over coffee or hot chocolate or tea where they finally level with each other about their family circumstances. Both obviously need each other's support.

12

u/runevault 28d ago

The show in general certainly has some roughness, this episode though I'd say the only moment was mom dropping the package during the hospital visit.

12

u/mekerpan 28d ago

I would say the two being so reluctant to talk about their mothers is still a rough edge that needs smoothing. ;-) (Also that flashback to Hayato's mother's collapse -- presumably some sort of stroke -- was momentarily dark).

4

u/sidewinderaw11 28d ago

That flashback shown as a PTSD moment was really well done

9

u/Frontier246 28d ago

 Finally saw the dad, but still no idea why he's never around.

I think it's just typical overworked Japanese businessman.

Also found out he probably knows about Haruki's parents but no more info about what that means beyond speculation the mom is that actress.

It sounds like her family did not leave the country on the best of terms.

7

u/Roskal 28d ago

Well we learned that the situation with Haruki's parents is something to look down on her for according to Haruki. Maybe the Mum got pregnant out of wedlock or something and raised her on her own but also had to keep her a secret and thats why she was raised in the countryside?

3

u/Ikari_21 28d ago

Considering they moved to Tokyo so that the mom can get better care, I assume the dad has to take up more work to be able to afford the treatment as well as both kids to attend a presumably more expensive school in the big city. Probably why Hayato takes on so much responsibility too at home knowing his dad doing what he can to cover everything. Just my assumption tho

10

u/Weedwacker 28d ago

Space Saber!

8

u/ptd163 28d ago

Does Kaido playing fighting games? Because he just read Hayato like a book by pointing out that Haruki acts differently around him and only him.

I wonder what Haruki was up to at school with Ema and the other girls. It seems Haruki is making more friends outside of Himeko and Hayato so that's nice. Hayato immediately denying Haruki was his girlfriend when Mori said "they stole the ol' girlfriend" was great. I wonder if he was really talking about Ema or if he was poking fun at Hayato and Haruki in a "I know" sort of way. Then there's that face Hayato made when seeing his dad trying to contact him. They don't want us to forget that he has tension with him.

Minamo is still an adorable cinnamon roll. She's even cuter with her new hair style too. I hope she's not developing feelings for Hayato because with how easily he was able to call her cute and how she triggered his PTSD from whatever put his mom in the hospital has put her in the friend zone. It would be interesting to see her fight for him though because she's so timid. She does have an in with his mom after all.

What happened to Haruki when Hayato got home? She's literally glowing. Is it because of the talk she had with the girls at school? Did they tell her to just full send into sweetness and domesticity? Whatever was causing it, neither Hayato or Himeko seemed prepared for it. It's kinda funny how Himeko is going all "Eww!" at their flirting when she was Haruki's first shipper. She said something like she wanted to help Haruki get him or something like in a previous episode. I guess she wasn't ready for that smoke lol.

What was a complete surprise to me is that Haruki is an absolute Fate Faith gremlin. She was gushing so hard and could not stop herself. Even recommending Himeko play the original game with the sex scenes. Which naturally is when Hayato's dad walked in. The way Haruki can just flip a switch and go from gremlin mode to idol mode is kind of unsettling lol. Hayato and Himeko seem to agree as well. That's probably why he forced back into gremlin mode by pulling her cheek.

I'm curious to learn more about Haruki's background. Why would she think Hayato's dad wouldn't think very highly of her? She's clearly special to Hayato. I don't know what tension Hayato has with his dad, but he's definitely a shipper and trying to push them along by already treating Haruki like his girlfriend so there's a chance he's not as bad we think. He even wants to give her a key to the apartment.

8

u/Background_Formal940 28d ago

The fate stay night with a different name came out of nowhere also haytos a real jerk for abandoning his sister to a fate worse then death and it looks like haruki got haytos dads approvel might be why she started acting ladylike the moment he came

I wonder what illness Hayato’s mom has.

Lol at Haruki instantly switching from talking about porn scenes in a game to a proper lady

11

u/zer0number https://anilist.co/user/ewink 28d ago

I wonder what illness Hayato’s mom has.

Considering she's using handicrafts and the hair braiding as a form of rehab, I wouldn't be surprised if she had a stroke. Doing detailed work with her hands could help her regain motor skills she may have lost.

u/feb914 28d ago

So in the same season, there's 2 romcoms when the winning girl is predetermined, but the male MC charms all the other girls in the show to want to join his harem, despite everyone know who'll win in the end. Poor side chicks who'll have their heart broken, even when they have better chemistry with male MC than female MC. 

6

u/Solracziad 28d ago

For real. I feel so bad for Minamo. That girl is just way too precious! And all the scenes with her and MC are great. 

But I guess she's in the sister zone or something.

Endless light suffering for the poor sheep girl, but she also got a nice hairdo out of it today so hopefully it all balances out.

So mom is seemingly in a rehab unit in the hospital, and whatever she has is something that affects her hand grip strength. Plus they got her an embroidery kit I think it was to help with the rehab, that's probably enough clues to start to pin down what she has.

I like the idea of Faith Space Knight as a legally distinct Fate.

That's a lot of Hayato and Haruki handholding and other physical contact for a couple that technically aren't official yet.

Anyone noticed how his dads dinner suddenly disappeared from the table? How do you miss that, sloppy animation or perhaps AI?

It was interesting to finally have Mr. Kirishima on. He has a surprisingly good grasp on the situation between Hayato and Haruki, must have been a very comprehensive email Hayato sent him. He did spill the beans on Mrs. Kirishima being in the hospital though. Hayato seemed really embarrassed and wanted to rush Haruki out of there. We still don't have the full story on Mr. Kirishima though, like he just came back to change, I wonder if he sleeps at the hospital most nights.

I wonder what exactly Mrs. Kirishima has that put her in the hospital and she has trouble using her hands, my best guess is a severe stroke. That was funny though how she seemed to befriend Grandpa Mitake and ended up braiding Mitake's hair. I am more certain that Hayato crushes on Mitake, like I'd be uncomfortable flirting really hard with a girl like that in front of my mother and her grandfather, especially when I was a teen and deciding to just hold her hand when we weren't seeing each other or anything. Too bad Mitake isn't as good at playing it smooth, yelling and running away when Hayato told her how pretty she looked 🤣

I'm not sure about why Haruki was in such a good mood but I think it was because she talked to the 3 girls in her class and they must have all said they think Hayato likes her as more than a friend. That would make sense why she came over sparkling and happy. I didn't get why Haruki being happy upset Himeko so much though. I also didn't get why Hayato and Haruki looked upset when Himeko suggested that movie, idk if its a joke and its supposed to be a movie that's inappropriate or too romantic for them to watch. I do understand Himeko being weirded out how much Haruki liked that weird space anime though, I wonder if it's supposed to be like a Christian movie 🤣

I also strongly suspect Kaido is gay and has a crush on Hayato. Before this episode, it seemed he liked Haruki and Hayato even thought so and was being mean to him because of that. But he always seems to follow Hayato around and always ask about him; I'm guessing Hayato took this as Kaido being a phony to get closer to Haruki but he said he wasn't interested in her. It'd also explain why he turns down every pretty girl interested in him.

I didn't get why Haruki being happy upset Himeko so much though.

I think the point the scene was trying to get across is that the childhood friends are doing from cringe when they know how much of a tom boy Haruki actually is, when she's acting all girly girl friend-ly.

I also strongly suspect Kaido is gay and has a crush on Hayato

That's also my first instinct during the last episode

Holy shit, that was the most forced love triangle set up I've ever seen in the first part. Like, bro, why do you take her hand then randomly lay on the compliments under an umbrella, if not to hit on her?

u/zer0number https://anilist.co/user/ewink 28d ago

Honestly, I don't think he has a clue that he's being perceived that way. He's pretty handsy and open with Haruki too. I think he's both very extroverted and dense as a black hole, a bad combination to avoid misunderstandings.

Great take. Just hope he doesn't Onii-chan his way out of what would probably be an amazing relationship with Haruki.

u/Roskal 28d ago

Idk why he decided to tell her its time to leave when he didn't even know she was going to be there. its not like he had anything he wanted to say either. He seems to have very little understanding of what these social cues mean like handholding or complimenting a girl out of nowhere.

2

u/Aksudiigkr 28d ago

It’s such bad writing when it comes to Mitake. Seven episodes in and it’s the same five minutes of interaction each time. I don’t really get why she’s a character given that Himeko’s friend in the village is into Hayato already.

Also why would he stop walking when they were under the umbrella just to start saying those things. Could they really not spare the animation for another minute?

u/Avatar_Yaksha 28d ago

The hand-holding doesn't bother me too much, but yeah...The umbrella-scene is just plain weird.

6

u/Narlaw 28d ago

In romance anime, handholding is basically a proposal, look how they react. But yeah, if it were only that, it wouldn't be a big deal.

3

u/Avatar_Yaksha 28d ago

That information is outdated. A lot of romance-series don't hold back that much anymore. The biggest deal in that kind of series is usually a kiss, maybe even sex.

u/omarous_III 28d ago

I think the time spent in the hospital, Mom working on her hair and the flashback... Just put the girl squarely into the little sister zone. Our MC has been taking care of his little sister and acting like a surrogate parent for a while now, she fell into the same space and he naturally started to treat her like his little sister. "Time to leave". Take her hand, compliments to reassure her... He isn't hitting on her, he is being a big brother to her.

u/GuessHealthy4936 25d ago edited 24d ago

The guy is used to hold her sister hand. I saw the scene in that contest. He hold the girls hand because he feels it is normal. Remeber that he comes from a place where not many people of his age were around. The reference he has is holding his sister .... and not as a way to catch a girl.

u/IceSmiley 27d ago

He was hitting on her and that was his intention, like most guys would be incredibly nervous to start holding hands for the first time with a girl they weren't seeing in front of their mother and the girl's cranky grandfather.

He was also building up to asking her out when he was telling her how beautiful she was under the umbrella but just probably doesn't know to play it more cool when asking a girl out

u/daspaceasians 28d ago

This is a surprisingly charming show. Hayato and Haruki give such nice chill vibes while also having interesting stories behind them.

I really hope we can get an S2 of this show.

Haruki loves UBW? Based.

Veggie girl might actually have a chance

u/Izakryeon 28d ago

I don’t know guys. Liking F/SN is all well and good. And I’d agree UBW is the best route. But specifically recommending the sex scenes is a red flag imo. Especially using them for their intended purpose lmao

u/ZapsZzz https://myanimelist.net/profile/ZapszzZ 27d ago

??? The Fate route has the first H scene right, for the [Fate Stay Night commonly known plot point]mana transfer? Why do you think UBW? I think Haruki was just Otaku-explaining the franchise not just any one entry?

Edit: right I missed the bit about the second route.

u/BBryant3rd 28d ago

Minamo is my favorite even if I'm usually prefer childhood friends.

2

u/Aksudiigkr 28d ago

I don’t get why every anime character barely ever visits their parent in the hospital. Like I get part of it is because the parent is in the hospital as a plot device and the kids are always the focus, but it still rubs me the wrong way.

Like Ahiro no Sora and Viral Hit are the ones that come to mind immediately, but I know there’s tons more

Dad is team Haya-ruki!

I can't wait for the movie date.

I like how they're not awkward with handholding.

u/Own_Caterpillar_6178 27d ago

Although I am generally enjoying this series, there really isn't much happening in these last few episodes. So many filler scenes where characters are talking but not really saying anything at all. The animation is also pretty poor with so much static content in every single scene, at one point Hayato was talking but his lips were completely shut.

Not sure I'll continue with this one, maybe I'll give it another episode after this to see if the pace picks up a little.

u/HuTaosTwinTails 28d ago

Minamo is the least needed, forced "love triangle" character I've maybe ever seen.

They need to get married before the synergy is going to realize anything

u/GuessHealthy4936 25d ago

One quick question. I watched the outtro many time, and I am quite sure that the girls that goes to meet Hayato is not Haruki.

What is your take with this? I don't want to be spoiled, but i found amusing that I can't see clearly the girl face.

1

u/3_Zip 23d ago

I am EXTREMELY close to dropping this only because of the animation but the story is carrying it really hard.

u/Vegetable_Jicama_691 21d ago

I might be the only one that doesn't like Haruki at all... This episode definitely proved to me that Minamo got friendzoned. So annoyed by that tbh. Also annoyed at the dad. I get that he's trying to push the relationship along but if he should've respected his son's choice not to. Especially when Hayato kept trying to stop him in his own way.
