“Sherlock Bones”


Overview

Our Take

Fuji continues to shine as a wonderfully humble and inspiring character, balancing her growing success with the same warmth and grounded outlook that make her so endearing. This episode highlighted her appreciation for working people, her sweet and kind nature, and her ability to draw meaning even from simple, everyday things. From heartfelt gestures like creating a handmade plushie to her reflections on work and culture, Fuji’s sincerity remains the emotional anchor of the story.

Moments with Fuji’s friends and Kimi added to the wholesomeness, whether through sentimental callbacks like the shirt from their first meeting or lighthearted touches such as bee trivia and playful humor. Combined with uplifting themes about creativity, memory, and companionship, the episode delivered plenty of warmth while also providing closure to Fuji’s struggles with stress and writer’s block.

Overall, this was a heartfelt and comforting episode that captured everything fans love about Fuji and her circle of friends. By focusing on humility, kindness, and genuine connection, it balanced light comedy with touching sentiment, leaving the audience smiling while still setting the stage for the series finale. With only one episode left, it feels like a meaningful sendoff is being prepared, and anticipation is high for how Fuji’s journey will close.
