EPISODE REVIEWS

Butterfly in your stomach feel... teens romance is the sweetest, i can't say much more.

The scene where Nao was paying for their tickets with her little saved coins, that was just heartbreakingly sweet

Sanada is such a good guy for noticing Nao's signals and genuinely caring about her

It was so nice to see Nao finally experience a normal day, but you just know Sunao is going to ruin everything

Nao skipping school was a huge step for her independence she deserves happiness

My heart aches for Nao, knowing how much joy this one day brought her

Sunao is really crossing a line she's just using Nao as a puppet and it's not okay

Nao and Sanada's date was just the cutest thing I needed to see today

I was so mad when Sunao just made Nao disappear right when things were getting good

The whole half-up hairstyle signal thing is so adorable, what a cute way to make their secret dates happen.

That moment when Sanada actually remembered the half-up hair and asked her out, it was just perfect.

I loved seeing Nao and Sanada at the zoo, they look so happy together and the animal hats were a nice touch.

Seeing Nao finally stand up for herself even a little bit by skipping school made my heart swell.

The end where Sunao just tears into Nao hit me really hard, it's so unfair.

This was better than the first episode. The story flowed more smoothly, and we got more moments between Sanada and Nao. They’re adorable together, and I’d love to see more of them.

I kinda liked the ambiance of this episode. It felt more light-hearted compared to the somber tone of the first one. I also loved the chemistry between Sanada and Nao—they’re so cute together.

I love this episode! It felt much more wholesome and relaxed than the first. While Nao is the focus, I’m still really curious about Sunao. I hope we get to learn more about her soon.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming directly off the premiere's world-building and the introduction of Nao's role in Sunao's life, this episode pivots inward, shifting from setup to character excavation. It marks the beginning of Nao's active self-discovery arc, moving her from passive existence toward something more conscious. The next episode, 'A Replica Is Confused,' suggests this installment plants the seeds of an identity crisis that will continue to unfold across the season's early stretch.
