Episode 4

Everyone's Reactions

Koharu’s sudden decision to switch careers to a bakery caught me off guard, but starting with kakigōri first just felt so cute and heartwarming. The bold confession scene had my heart practically jumping out of my chest. I really felt like all the characters in this series have such a strong 'suke' (aggressive/forward) vibe, and it’s contagious—it gets you hyped up too! I also learned that the "No Double Riding on Bicycles" text at the beginning was a nod to Aichi Prefecture, which made me look at it with fresh eyes. Seeing Tomita Miyu take on the role of the 'losing heroine' gave me a little pang in my heart. When the ending theme "First Love Reply" played, it perfectly captured the lingering heat of the week. It was such an exciting episode that I found myself thinking, 'Shouldn't this be the final episode?'
