Episode 17

Everyone's Reactions

Taiga-sama made his debut, and the Heian-period scenes were packed with charm. His bright voice fit perfectly, and young Mao was so cool I couldn't look away. Mao whispered to Nanaka, "You're so kind," and it felt like their bond deepened even more. They were apart for a bit, which made me a little worried, but it was great to see them help each other out in the end. The mystery of who Toumon-sensei really is keeps getting deeper. I'm also looking forward to the new character next episode, and I love how Mao's age shifts back and forth. It was another bittersweet yet heartwarming episode that makes you want to rewatch it. Can't wait for the next one!
