After receiving a sincere confession from Shiono, who tells him, "I like you, Takoi-san," Takoi is left flustered by the realization that he doesn't actually dislike the idea. Meanwhile, Misuzu, the owner of the snack bar Takoi often visits, calls to say that her drunken ex-boyfriend is causing a scene at the bar. Takoi and Hasegawa rush over, only to find the place on the verge of chaos. As Misuzu instinctively moves closer to Takoi for protection, her ex suddenly lunges at him with a weapon. The one who steps in to shield Takoi and effortlessly subdues the attacker is Shiono. But after the scuffle, blood can be seen trickling from a cut on his forehead. Feeling guilty that his tendency to be nice to everyone ended up getting Shiono hurt, Takoi blames himself. Seeing this, Egawa gently encourages him, saying, "Why don't you go check on him?" Will the incident become the turning point that finally brings the two of them closer...? (Source: Japanese = TV Asahi || Translation = kisskh)

Okay, so I don't know when this show airs.…

Okay, so I don't know when this show airs. When I remember it, I'm gonna come back and watch it. So this is why we're here. I messed with it, and it's short, so it's okay. He just got a cigarette marble thing to the head, ate that, and walked away.This episode was pretty dead, pretty boring, but still, we talked. I think he does like him back, or he is open to the idea, I'd say that. Apparently, next episode will be action-packed, so can't wait for that. We'll see whenever that comes out. Might be tomorrow, might be in a month, when I remember this show exists again. But yeah, pretty cool. I like the premise. It's just a little bit boring, which is fine. I'd give this a 7.5 out of 10. Okay, bye!

When Love Makes You Question Everything

Imagine being a 38 year old guy, single, and completely convinced that you could never fall for someone like him. Then, little by little, he starts to find a way into your heart.He protects you, shields you, and when you are attacked at the bar, he puts himself in harm’s way and gets hurt trying to protect you. And despite all his fears, he finds the courage to stand in front of you and confess the feelings he has been carrying in his heart.How could you not be moved by that kind of love?Honestly, if I were in his shoes, that kind of love would make me question everything I thought I knew about myself. It could turn me from straight to gay without hesitation. Because when someone loves you that deeply, protects you that fiercely, and chooses you even when it hurts, maybe love stops being about gender and simply becomes about the person who makes your heart feel safe.That kind of love would absolutely melt me. ❤️

well i didn't expect Takoi to go in for…

well i didn't expect Takoi to go in for a kiss... i thought he would suggest dating or something light, but looks like he is gonna jump into the deep end lol.... & i know other's like Moriko, calling her a fujoshi - which personally i don't find cute - cause in their reality, like in real life that's basically being a busybody & poking ur nose into someone else business. if Takoi had turned to her for advise - then fine, great even. then be a supportive friend that's hyped about ur work-partner having a potential gay wooer. but as is, to me it's a turn off. same with the whole "mama" situation. 1st off can't stand women that every man they see they gotta get all flirty, touch, feely with - she was the reason Takoi almost got hurt, why antagonize a volatile ex-partner?!? so am glad she went to apologize to Shiono, but did Takoi need her dragging him in to her establishment to give him liquid courage??? he was on his way to Shiono before she stopped him. like plz with this added fluffy, that is just filler & adds nothing to the mains plot - how much did we even get of the mains?!? as this only 10 ep's & each ep is hella short this a waste of screen time & annoying IMO
