took me freakin ages to finish this ep, as was stuck in the scene where everyone in the office took Shu out for a farewell dinner & i had a bad feeling Takoi would be browbeaten & pushed into confessing... idk that didn't sit well with me. *********************i really hate when people r dragged out of the closet before they r ready, even more so for people who r just discovering their sexual orientation. so i get Shu not being able to give Takoi the time he needed to come to terms with his being in a gay relationship, but the fact i get it doesn't mean i like it or his behavior - as he had his whole life to come to terms with who he was & how the society would react, let alone how he would deal with said reaction. **********************************************but just cause he fell for Takoi, the sec he wasn't rushing to admit his feelings or show enthusiasm at being gay around people who were strangers or even friends, that mean u cut Takoi off cold turkey not giving him an opportunity to voice his POV?!? idk - it felt a bit gaslighty... so i wasn't really looking forward to Takoi confessing, cause he was basically manipulated into something he wasn't ready for. so as much as i am enjoying this - that whole scene wasn't comfortable for me & i wasn't really interested in watching it. but we over it now, lets hope Takoi isn't manipulated in the 4 remaining eps... ugh

Honestly, this is the best ongoing Japanese BL for me at the moment, and I am currently watching nine.Takoi is similar to me as we are both in our 30s, so I could really understand his actions in this episode. If I were in his position, I honestly think I would have done the same thing. He was confused, he made mistakes, and he apologised. I was also glad that he finally confessed his feelings at the end.It was such an emotional and well done episode. This is why Japanese BLs hit differently for me. Their emotional storytelling is so good because it feels realistic, mature and relatable. The characters and their emotions feel human, and that makes their stories even more impactful.

Es mi capitulo favorito sin dudas, me encanto la actuación, Takoi agarro valentía, lo entiendo no debe ser fácil siendo que siempre estuvo con mujeres aparte esta rodeado de hombres mayores con prejuicios y ame que haya agarrado la lapicera de la basura
