Can a Boy-Lady Friendship Continue to exist? ‒ Episode 9

Will this be the final location of the season? Here’s repeatedly an narrate that comes up in a lot of reduce-of-existence reveals the place it wants to maintain a certain status quo, but also wants to gain the remainder of the assortment with one thing. Thus, it creates an external narrate that will give the main cast one thing to attain, but now now not necessarily change the relationship dynamics. The situation that Rion’s sister creates ties into the relationship between Yu and Himari. It brings up a previous situation the place Himari almost traveled in diversified places, and now that will transform the narrative’s using power. It also forces Yu to place his dream on the road for Himari.

I savor that this contains a character who has been talked about within the background by the alternative adult figures within the reveal. It makes me want that flashback episode I mentioned earlier than, the place we may stare the siblings of the main cast interact after they have been younger. The reaction to Himari’s brother alone sold me on that idea, and it be nice to understand the squawk actor is giving his all to the character. Hands-down, Himari’s brother is quiet one of probably the most easy issues within the reveal.

That’s a lawful setup up, but we aren’t getting that till the 2nd half of the episode. The primary half of the episode accurate felt unusual. Yu almost appeared out of character for a lawful chunk of this episode, the place he all at once can’t handle confrontations with Himari. If he was going to act savor this, it may have been earlier within the reveal, because we have seen him interact and even push back on her accurate fair, but now he randomly can’t handle it? Is the implication that the summer uniforms are pushing him over the brink?

“Sad Rion” is all I have to say. Imagine your crush, who constantly rejects you, keeps hitting you up cause he can’t handle being around the lady he likes? This feels several diversified layers of screwed up, but I am attempting now now not to contemplate about that because if I attain for too lengthy, I would halt up hating Yu.
