This episode focuses on Uenoyama trying to convince Mafuyu to join the band, but the timing is always off or maybe Mafuyu is avoiding him? Kaji and Haruki’s reactions are hilarious! We also start to see some emotional scenes, reminding us Mafuyu is still carrying his own sadness.

Jealousy and insecurity bubble up as Uenoyama struggles with his feelings. The episode balances light humor with subtle emotional tension.

The group energy keeps improving and you start seeing why these characters bounce off each other so well. It’s chill but emotionally layered. The show’s strength is really in these quiet interactions.

This episode explores the emotional struggles of the characters as they deal with past experiences and misunderstandings. I really liked seeing how Ritsuka and Mafuyu begin to understand each other better, making their bond feel genuine.

Things get a bit more personal, especially with Haruki and Akihiko’s relationship dynamic. The show starts hinting at deeper feelings without spelling everything out. Subtle but meaningful.

You might have to prepare tissues for this story tho.

My take on the band: a playboy, a loser, a pabo, a loverboy 😭

EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming off Episode 2's pivotal moment where Ritsuka invites Mafuyu into the band after hearing him sing, 'Somebody Else' digs into the emotional fallout of that decision and the shifting dynamics it creates among all four members. This is early-season foundation work—episode 3 of 11—establishing the interpersonal complexities that will drive the rest of the series. It directly sets the stage for Episode 4, 'Fluorescent Adolescent,' as the characters push deeper into both their music and the relationships they're still figuring out.
