Overview:

Aki invites Masamune out on a White Day date but it ends up going in a very unexpected direction.

Our Take:

I really hope I’m wrong about this but the last scene of this episode sure made it seem like Aki was breaking up with Masamune. She even hit him with the “I hope you have a happy life!” which we know is the worst thing you can hear in that sort of situation. I’m hoping that this gets resolved fast if that is the case because I really feel like they were starting to click as a couple and as we now know, Aki is truly in love with Masamune. I think that’s why I was surprised because Yoshino seemingly let Aki know that Masamune’s feelings were real.

Aki is a real one though because on their date she took Masamune to confront one of his old bullies. He thought it was going to be bad but ended up feeling relieved once it was over. He was so relieved that when Aki asked if he wanted to visit the other bullies she knew where to find them he told her that he was okay. I know that most people see this as just a silly rom-com but I’m starting to remember that this has a little more to it than meets the eye. Some of the best character development in a romance is in this anime and I am looking forward to the finish.
