After hearing Akira’s words, Kanata decides to challenge himself and return to playing soccer. Meanwhile, Akira is quietly struggling with complicated feelings about his former private tutor, Kanda. Because of that, he finds Kanata’s straightforward and sincere nature almost dazzling. On their way home after Akira helps him study, Kanata invites Akira to a small local festival in town. Later, in a quiet corner of the plaza where the distant noise of the festival echoes through the night, Kanata closes his eyes. Akira gently places his hand on Kanata’s forehead… as the moment between them hangs in the air. (Source: Japanese = fujitv.co.jp || Translation = kisskh)

I LOVED THIS EPISODE

im going to do this review/recap in bullet points because why not:- IT STARTS WITH AKIRA AND HIS FORMER TUTOR and they have like a little thing going on I think, but it’s not specified but I think it’s something like friends with benefits, but after akira’s former tutor hears about how akira’s starting to crush on kanata, his former tutor breaks their little thing off. Akira said no but I think they stopped their little thing now, and I think deep down akira would’ve wanted to break it off too.- now that Kanata’s joining the football team, mizuki, jun and makki plan to go watch him play at the game, and mizuki invites akira to go watch him as well, to which akira says yes. - akira was walking around the school, only to see jun and mizuki hiding behind the corner, and akira asks mizuki what’s happening, only to see a girl confessing to kanata, and kanata says no. This is the scene where jun is introduced to akira, since Jun didn’t know kanata had such a smart friend.- Akira and kanata are at the rooftop and akira asks kanata why he doesn’t date anyone, and kanata replies that he wants to date somebody that he could relax with. And during this scene kanata asks akira if they wanna hang out outside of school, but then akira reminds him that he needs to revise for finals since he won’t be able to juggle it all now since he’ll join the soccer club as well. So after they meet up, akira is tutoring him, and kanata looks up at akira whilst he’s explaining it and KANATA IS JUST STARING AT AKIRA AND LIKE ANALYISNG HIS BEAUTIFUL FACE CARD BECAUSE WHO WOULDNT AND IT WAS SO CUTE BECAUSE AKIRA DIDNT NOTICE. after akira tutoring kanata, they sit down and have a break, and kanata sees a poster for a community festival for that same day, so kanata persuades akira to go AND THEY HAVE THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES, AND KANATA FEEDS AKIRA EKEKEKKE AND AFTER AKIRA BUYS THEM MATCHING BRACELETS AND ITS SO CUTE. After kanata is resting on akira’s thigh (idk how to explain it like kanata’s head was lying in akira’s thigh) and kanata was sleeping i think, and akira starts brushing kanata’s hair with hand ONLY TO GO DOWN AND AKIRA WAS ABOUT TO KISS HIM BUT THE EPISODE ENDEDDDD UGHGHH.- At home kanata and his younger brother are eating and his brother tells him he found out about him joining the football club, and his brother says that now he could finally talk to his brother about football again, probably because it was awkward to talk about it to him since he experienced his injury before LIKE POOR YUITO (kanata’s brother’s name).

what i sadly feared was true Akira & that…

what i sadly feared was true Akira & that ex-tutor of his r in a "relationship" & given the talk about "other men" it's was easy to figure out that the relationship between them wasn't platonic. even before Akira pulled him over him. but was more bothered by the fact that Akira didn't want to stop that relationship, when the tutor offered him an out. he was ashamed when Mizuki saw them together & he wanted that to be kept a secret - so why doesn't he take the 'out' that's offered?!? **********************& get that when ur groomed & brainwashed into this type of relationship, ur not thinking straight & maybe he has developed some type of dependency on the groomer. still it's making me so uncomfortable on so many levels. this is why kids shouldn't be too independent & left to their own devises - where r his parents?!? family???? how come Akira is so excisable to this perv ???*******************************************************************************************************************************************Kanata on his part is so innocent & pure in his budding feeling for the jaded Akira. that's gonna be a rude awakening when he finds out - which i am sure he will sooner or later. & as Akira is also developing feelings for Kanata why not break-up with ur ex-tutor?!??? what he wants to 1st get into a relationship, only then will he end that "relationship"?!?? this turning so dark when u think about this sh*t - the angst ugh!
