Maybe the pressure is not the right word. I definitely feel like he felt like he didn't feel like he has any other option. Even though he probably could have calmly explained everything to Kurosawa our love fool. I think the whole romantic environment and the whole realization that it's actually going to happen definitely made him uncomfortable. There's a german word "Torschlusspanik" which describes perfectly what I mean. Yeah, I believe in Kurodachi :D

this reminds me of episode 7 T_T

And here's an explanation on how to do it:

I personally think he says that he is ready because he feels pressured and doesn't like the responsibilities that come with his mind-reading powers. He can't control it anymore. I think he truly loves Kurosawa but he definitely needs some time and maybe a talk with someone who has a more objective view on it. I get that some people here seem to expect him to have sex, but I'm ok with any ending that feels convincing. Like Fujisaki

oooh I like that idea :D But Adachi is very uncomfortable with his powers. I hope they find a way that feels natural and convincing. I really don't know if I could accept someone to know everything about me. It maybe causes some conflicts but I could see this as a compromise.

when you have a mental breakdown or panic attack, you can't even straight up think what would be better for you though. It becomes hard to make ANY decision, even more so one that makes sense. I don't think that it's the magic he is scared to lose, rather that he would have to face Kurosawa without the magic. He doesn't feel like he deserves Kurosawa without magic because of his low-self-esteem and with the magic because he feels guilty. I don't really think that Adachi expects anything because he is so confused and overwhelmed.

I really don't think that 1 episode is enough to finish their story. If they want to make it realistic and won't produce a second season, I guess a mini time jump would be the only thing that makes sense. There's still a lot to explore.... I thought that one season might be enough, but these characters are all so complex and the episodes are so short. I think they deserve more time XD

they're so amazing! I feel you T_T

some fun things you can do, instead of worrying:

Yup, I hate the stigma around mental health. So I'm trying to normalize it more.
CM touched us on so many levels. I didn't expect it so be this meaningful and deep. I truly love it so much

I also almost talked with my therapist about CM and today I almost cried while going to a doctor's appointment lol

I think reading all the slides from this post made me realize how this year has been extremely tough on our mental health. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIdyBsigndG/
Covid is another factor that adds up to our already existing problems. Please don't feel guilty for trying to find some joy and happiness. It's not your fault, it's the system that prioritizes profit over our well being, happiness, and (mental) health. It's also more difficult to think about your own mental health, while also thinking about your financial situation. It's another factor that makes you feel bad. So I hope you can find still comfort in this show.
I know how difficult it is to get mental help. If you can't the help you need, I hope there are some hotlines for help you can at least call. I'm currently in online therapy because it was difficult to get a place here and Covid makes it even more difficult. More people are in need of help right now. I know it is not like a real person but there are AI mental health bot apps like Woebot and Youper. They may be helpful.
Yes, I truly believe that we shouldn't be ashamed of dealing with mental health and illnesses.

I don't think that Adachi chose the power over Kurosawa. He was definitely completely overhelmed and I totally get why. Even though it may seem like he had the power to control the mindreading, we could see in this episode how hard it was for him to hear the thoughts of the judging woman. He realized that he actually doesn't have the control. He wanted Kurosawa to take his virginity and therefore the powers. He wanted to get away from this responsibility. The way he reacted wasn't a very rational way. I think this episode needed at least 10 more minutes where we could have seen Adachi's perspective and thoughts. He needs the time to process everything. I think ideally he would have told Kurosawa that everything is too much and that he needs some time to figure out things. It's a really complicated situation. But like the director said, Kurosawa is also tired. He needs some distance. He also has problems and he is probably also thinking that he did something wrong. I'm very curious about episode 12...

I think we should also be proud that we are willing to work on those things. Many people are unaware. It's a lifelong journey and I truly hope that things will get better, it just takes more time for some than others. Good that you mentioned this.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that way. I'm super sad but it didn't ruin my whole experience.

Honestly, I agree with you it should have happened at the end of Episode 10. I really think that they timed it a bit worse because they created such a romantic environment and that way the situation came across even more extreme.

You are right, I think for some people it's difficult to realize how difficult it is to become more confident. When you are in that mindset, it's difficult to see things clearly, it's difficult to accept love. It's easier to push people away because you don't want to be a bother, you don't think you deserve their love or that their love is even real. The magic thing makes it even more complicated. After sleeping and some thoughts later, I still feel emotionally drained. I'm hoping for the best

Some of us were thinking about how Kurodachi would spend Christmas together and what they would gift each other. So I came up with a game. Maybe it lifts up the mood a bit lol
It's not complicated. If you have a question, comment here :D

maybe... I mean he looks so cute in your profile pic, I'm so shallow sometimes lol

Well said, my friend. I hope lots of people read this and realize how complex these characters and their problems are and how hard it is to fit in their story in 12 short episodes. I would add that Kurosawa really needs to care about his own happiness and well being if he wants to be happy and be in a healthy relationship. I don't think that he understands that it makes Adachi even more guilty. They both have to do some work before they can "realistically" grow together but independently in their relationships.
