Episode 9

Everyone's Reactions

That "This is so lame... me..." line made me sigh along with the screen. I love how she knows it’s true but says it anyway—it feels so human. With this week’s title being "The One Who Touches," the way things subtly connect and hide in the shadows feels so meaningful, giving you that little flutter in your chest while watching. I laughed at the term "Yani dialect" for her Mie accent, but it’s kind of scary how I might start using it too without realizing it. Yamada-san was shocked to see Sasaki-san shopping with his wife during the after-party, only to find out she was actually his sister! The way he gets flustered and blushes all the way to his ears in the manga is adorable just imagining it. The line about needing freedom without anyone bothering you while smoking really struck a chord—it felt bittersweet and like the very core of this series.
