Another episode told solely from the twins’ perspectives. I get the feeling that they are going to save up Jun’s POV for a later episode and we get to see how he is feeling through all of these experiences later. Or, it could be interesting if they decide in this adaptation to tell the story only from the twins’ perspectives. That would leave us to try to infer Jun’s feelings from how he behaves, much like the twins are having to do.

We get to see a lot of Naori this episode and learn about how huge of a nerd she is. She is making references left and right and coming out with some hot takes about Star Wars and Star Trek. However, there is one opinion that is just objectively correct (@[email protected]):

Rumi takes it upon herself to set Jun up with her sister, essentially forcing him to ask her out. I think it is pretty clear that he is not over Rumi yet, but respects her desire that he go out with Naori. It is a complicated web of feelings. Rumi even talks with her basketball friend at the end of the episode about how she is still in love with Jun.

My favorite sequence of this episode was how wild they got with animating Naori’s discussion about fiction with Jun on the escalator. To save some space, I just took a couple screenshots and dropped them behind a spoiler tag.

Based Naori excellent taste. Yes the romance aspect is cool and all but the references give me life
