Episode Title: Cultural Festival, Part 1
It’s autumn, and the cultural festival prep is kicking off. Hioki watches Watarai get confessed to by girls and starts stressing that he still owes Watarai an answer to his confession. Just then, their classmate Shinonome approaches, saying she wants to talk with him alone. She’s the girl Watarai once lent a pen to. She asks Hioki to give Watarai a letter, and he ends up holding onto it, which sets off chaos in the already fragile relationship between the two boys.

Hioki's realization is so cute! Loved that scene so much! So genuine, sweet, and delightful. I'm happy for the direction of the show and hope that it stays this way.

Hioki’s accidental confession saying I like you has to be one of the cutest moments I have ever seen. It slipped out so naturally and so honestly that it hit me straight in the heart. I cannot believe there are only two episodes left. This simple high school story has given me so much joy and comfort for the past two months and I am genuinely not ready to say goodbye. Watching their slow growth, their hesitant steps toward each other and the warmth they bring into every scene has been such a beautiful journey.I need a season two. I want to see them at university living their life side by side finally a couple moving in together and building something real. It hurts knowing this chapter is ending just when their story is blooming. I am going to miss them so much.

2 more ep's to go - of course Watara's ex had to show-up. but Hioki in a wig is prettier then a lot of the girl in this BL lol... btw possessive Watarai is a bit scary. i guess he is so controlling cause Hioki hadn't confessed, so he was worried anyone else would come along with a better offer.. someone Hioki would actually want to be with - still he was acting a bit crazy. ***********liked how the 3 other guys helped Hioki & Watarai so they finally communicated. but i can't call that a kiss, Watarai's lips touched Hioki's cheek - that's not even a peck. really wish they skipped kissing all together, if this is what they gonna show us.
