Episode 9

Everyone's Reactions

It was surprising to see her father, who was initially reluctant, lend his name and reputation to support Mizuka becoming the leader. Her rejuvenated look, thanks to medication reversing the effects of the accident and pituitary issues that stopped her growth at age 9, is cute, but it turns out she's actually in her late twenties! Her words about entrusting us with our dreams felt so genuine, making it easy to believe in her kindness. The reveal that Kana is her real sister also makes perfect sense, and with the threat of being sold off now averted, their next goal is clear. I can't wait to see them aim for the Kirukuru Cup victory! I'm excited to see how all these emotions will intertwine in next week's battle.
