Actually the feeding Anna in front of his sister scene is very deep. His sister loves him and was obviously aware of his mental state so that scene is not only her watching him healing and being happy but also is the person you have loved since day 1 (the ending) growing up in front of your eyes. So nostalgic, it made me tear up.
Yes my friend.. this fact can not to be noticed.. but the way his sister loves and ever try to support ichikawa, is another lovely thing about this anime.. we already seen some moments in anime but in manga we can see more how many kana loves and try help his little brother.
Sakurai wrote a little novella prequel with a few drawings, depicting Ichikawa's time in middle school before he grew close to Yamada. He was so depressed and full of self loathing, but Kana kept trying to connect with him and help him out. She'd go into Kyoutarou's room on the excuse of borrowing a chapter of the manga Baki, and use it as an excuse to talk to him about what he was going through. She's SUCH a good sister who clearly adores her little brother.
at the beginning when he says that she's a celebrity it's in context that he doesn't want to double ride on his bike with her anymore (like they did in the last episode on valentines day) because it's against the law in japan. He's really being considerate here.
I relate to Kana a LOT this episode. Being kinda bitter, but happy about her younger sibling enjoying himself with another person in ways she never did.
19:07 I LOVE how natural and unguarded Ichi said "You are so pretty." It's just like the impact of Wakana's "Beautiful." remark when he is dozing off on the train in My Dress-Up Darling, right?
In the first season Yamada carried the relationship. This second season Ichikawa carried the relationship, especially since this moment. Ichikawa's grow is so good.
Ichikawa not wanting to run unto anyone he knows on his date with Yamada, and then IMMEDIATELY running into his sister, never fails go be hilarious. 🤣🤣
I feel like ppl are really confused about the ribbon at the beginning of the episode. The thing is in Japan they take it seriously if they see students in uniform just hanging out during school time, cops might approach and try to contact their parents and stuff like this. Now an alternative for girls is using a Ribbon, to make the school uniform distance a bit, and it's a known maneuver by students so they can hang out after school without being bothered by cops. You might be thinking that cops have too much extra time in Japan if they are wasting time doing this kind of think, and you are probably right.
Video Highlights: 1. Ichikawa's transformation into a gigachad is continuously showing 2. Yamada's declaration to her agency that Ichikawa is her pride and joy 3. Faroh crying over the cuteness of these two goofballs Fun Fact: Yuki is also YamaDad's first name.
This is right up there with the Christmas episode, the two are literally a newlywed couple when they are together, my boy Ichikawa, he said it!!! He said it at the end!!!
PEAK did it again omfg i giggled like a smol girl like 3-4 times here and almost tear a bit when he told her she was pretty and HE WAS SO HAPPY SAYING IT ! My heart cant keep this
7:22 HOW?!? How tf has this anime trained me so well to have my heart flutter with just this tiny, simple OST track, every time it's playing?!?!?! I swear, if it played over the intercom at HEB, I'd have to catch my breath!
16:25 Yuuki is given to guys, too. I was shocked at first, too, but one of my favorite LN series, A Demon Lord's Tale, has the MC, Yuuki, who is very much a guy. Amongst others. :)
2:25 For context, in Japan it’s frowned upon for students to things outside of school while wearing their uniforms especially students younger than high school; high school might be a little more lenient. Yes, I know they show it a lot in anime. I wouldn’t say it’s exactly illegal, but it’s not a good thing. My guess would be people might think they’re skipping
5:30 I think this is a play on the "Moe moe kyyyuuuun!" stuff at maid cafés and such. Also, Anna's expression and reaction right here is a top 5 "Most precious things I've ever scene" moment.
What I like about this episode is how Ichikawa growth up mentally, like he is more mature than back then. My boy not letting his ego win over Yamada's future. Man he is such a chad! And if you notice he is also growing physically, he got a little taller!
At the cinema when Anna moves seat so she can see Kyo's face...... If only Kana had turned around when Anna had her mouth open, that would have been so funny. One thing i dont like is her manager and what was said to Kyo That ending was huge, the way Anna lit up when he said she was pretty
Prepare some tissues for the next episode. It seems that you are much more fond of Ichikawa than Yamada, so I'm warning you now, what awaits you in the next episode may make you cry with emotion or pride.
They cut the Magazine editors further interrogating Ichikawa about his tastes. They also cut Anna's senior almost eating the sweet that Ichikawa bought for Yamada.
2:47 Tears speedrun! I think that might be a record? 5:22 That's a very Ichikawa thing to do. And I mean by that both Kyoutarou and the family in general. 16:22 Unisex name. As I recall, the protagonist of Future Diary is also named Yuuki. 17:20 Funnily enough, despite the fact that Norio Sakurai's a lady, she says she puts most of herself into *Kyoutarou*, not Yamada. So, it actually wouldn't surprise me if another male character got bits of her personality. I'm only an amateur writer myself, but there's one female character type I've written who's basically...well, in Jungian terms, my "anima," or I guess you could call her my feminine side. Maybe the reverse is a bit of what Sakurai pulls on for characters like Kyoutarou or Yuuki here. 19:05 Remember how far Yamada went on the Christmas date just to get him to call her cute? He's done her one better, eh? Our boy's come FAR.
The last episode was so good in the sense that it was so romantic, while this episode is good in a depressing way. I totally understand why Ichikawa is confused about what to feel about Yamada's job. I can't imagine what I would do if I were in a similar situation as him. I have so many thoughts, like what if she gets a role as a leading lady? Would I let her or not? What if there is a kissing scene? What if it is a more intimate scene? (I think that making someone in a relationship do these kinds of roles is just not right. You can't justify it by saying it is just "work" because you are still forcing someone to act like someone else's partner. They might just be acting, but they are still doing things a couple would do, no? For example, in kissing scenes, they are acting, but they would still kiss.) What if she gets abused, harassed, or taken advantage of by a producer or something? What if I ruin her career just being with her? I don't want to be the reason for her to quit what she loves, but I don't want to get hurt, either. Aside from the hundreds of what-ifs, I would also feel so out of place and distant. He bought her a cake from a convenience store while the people she knows at work can buy her high-end macarons. Not only is my status lower, but my ability to give her gifts is also lower. I really understand the turmoil he is going through, and it hurts. I hate the show business. It can lead to so much drama and potential abuse. That's why I wasn't sure if I liked that Yamada was on that type of job when I was first reading the manga. Damn, I just feel so much for Ichikawa. Despite all of this, he keeps trying to be better for himself and Yamada. This is why I really respect Ichikawa as a character. You can call him whatever you want, but you can't discredit the bravery and dedication he is showing just to be with Yamada. Edit: Another reason why I hate show business when it comes to romance is the issue of Rushia/mikeneko and Mafumafu. I know the issue was not only because of the job they both have but more of the type of person Rushia is, but still.
19:15 "peak romance or peak depression" 🤣🤣 Both...both BTW manager said it because of i think nose incident in S1 where she had to take time away from work.....i feel like it she didn't mean bad, just looking out for anna.
3:15 Oh boy. Knowing what the rest of the episode is like, i almost felt sorry for how much you were gonna cry, but I k ow how much you, and I, eat this shite up! 15/10 episode. Maybe 20/10, considering all the pussyfooting around we've had to scream about before this!
YOU LOOK SO PRETTY EOTGIHTOIGHOT AHHHHHHH 🥹

@@Taiyama2 lol.. where is this novel? Send me links kkkkk
'Is this peak romance or is this peak f'ng depression' felt that in my soul 😭😭😭
at the beginning when he says that she's a celebrity it's in context that he doesn't want to double ride on his bike with her anymore (like they did in the last episode on valentines day) because it's against the law in japan. He's really being considerate here.
The cat analogy is spot on and something that will come up later, too. I love these two adorable goofballs
I relate to Kana a LOT this episode. Being kinda bitter, but happy about her younger sibling enjoying himself with another person in ways she never did.
19:07 I LOVE how natural and unguarded Ichi said "You are so pretty." It's just like the impact of Wakana's "Beautiful." remark when he is dozing off on the train in My Dress-Up Darling, right?
Some of his unfiltered (like his sister) responses to Yamada are some of the best. And yeah it was totally like the scene from MDUD.
In the first season Yamada carried the relationship. This second season Ichikawa carried the relationship, especially since this moment. Ichikawa's grow is so good.
The cat comparison is spot on and the series knows it lol
Ichikawa not wanting to run unto anyone he knows on his date with Yamada, and then IMMEDIATELY running into his sister, never fails go be hilarious. 🤣🤣

Fun Fact: Yuki is also YamaDad's first name.
16:24 Yuki is a gender neutral name [ like max/Sam or Izumi/Tsubasa], meaning snow or happiness. Depending on the kanji, it can also be brave or lucky
Yeah, i want the next episode now!

My heart cant keep this
7:22 HOW?!? How tf has this anime trained me so well to have my heart flutter with just this tiny, simple OST track, every time it's playing?!?!?! I swear, if it played over the intercom at HEB, I'd have to catch my breath!
This is the only anime ive watched so far where i dont skip certain parts. Shit is heaven fr
10:19 'Yamada sees the world through different eyes.'
"It's just cause she's taller than you."
REALLY?!
🤭
16:25 Yuuki is given to guys, too. I was shocked at first, too, but one of my favorite LN series, A Demon Lord's Tale, has the MC, Yuuki, who is very much a guy. Amongst others. :)
Fruits Basket also has a male Yuki. Fun fact, it means ‘snow.’

I'm finally here to watch this video❤
I fucking cackled at the emotional squee at 11:48 😭😭
What I like about this episode is how Ichikawa growth up mentally, like he is more mature than back then. My boy not letting his ego win over Yamada's future. Man he is such a chad!
And if you notice he is also growing physically, he got a little taller!

One thing i dont like is her manager and what was said to Kyo
That ending was huge, the way Anna lit up when he said she was pretty
Manager's gender is also a mystery in the manga. 😅
ps: i think you will run out of tissues by the end of this season. 😁
peak episode and date
Prepare some tissues for the next episode.
It seems that you are much more fond of Ichikawa than Yamada, so I'm warning you now, what awaits you in the next episode may make you cry with emotion or pride.
I actually love them both very very much
I love them-they’re essentially dating without the name
Love wins all!
They cut the Magazine editors further interrogating Ichikawa about his tastes. They also cut Anna's senior almost eating the sweet that Ichikawa bought for Yamada.
At the end....when you literally see her eyes light up?....🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
2:47 Tears speedrun! I think that might be a record?
5:22 That's a very Ichikawa thing to do. And I mean by that both Kyoutarou and the family in general.

5:01 It's easy to forget that his sister is a university student. She looks like she's just a year or so older than Ichi. Lolz
I forgot to say that actually the mangaka it's a women so probably was her
One of my favorite manga ever
19:27 By "mangaka," do you mewn the MC that Ichi gets the imaginary pep talks from? The mangaka is the person who wrote the manga.
This takes us to chapter 81 in the manga
19:15 "peak romance or peak depression" 🤣🤣
Both...both
BTW manager said it because of i think nose incident in S1 where she had to take time away from work.....i feel like it she didn't mean bad, just looking out for anna.
マネージャーが反対しても安心です
市川は山田の両親のお気に入りですから
3:15 Oh boy. Knowing what the rest of the episode is like, i almost felt sorry for how much you were gonna cry, but I k ow how much you, and I, eat this shite up! 15/10 episode. Maybe 20/10, considering all the pussyfooting around we've had to scream about before this!
9:26 Turning ringer off, dudette.
It's obviously peak romance.
Both. Peak Romance and Depression 🥴
Peak romance ❤
8:04 aaaah so that why? I'd never guess
Another diabetic filled episode 😭
Please react to a silent voice
Yuki is a gender nuteral name
