Episode 5

Everyone's Reactions

Episode 5, "Change," was delivered perfectly! Watching Minato-kun try to unlock Koyun’s heart, only to have his own key rattling loose, really gets your heart racing. The moment his attitude does a 180-degree flip has such a wild range that it’s almost scary, making those frustrating near-misses unbearable. And that detail of his hair puffing up around his scarf? Isn’t it just too cute? I love how he turns into a Pomeranian when praised—so endearing. But the best part is the cameo by the Suzuki couple from "You and I, So Opposite"! Seeing such contrasting characters together side-by-side makes me grin. Since they’re the supporting cast deeply tied to the shoujo manga-style love triangle, I’m getting the feeling Koyun is on track for a happy romance, unless a new Darling candidate pops up. The fact that her past with Igarashi-kun has been erased to the level of "Did that guy even exist?" deepens the mystery even more. The scene where her unspoken frustration turns into tears fits so well. Hino-kun’s likability also goes up with his support, adding another layer of mystery. I can’t look away from the next episode!
