This is the episode that put a romance genre in this anime. The story started out wholesome, yet it ended in a complicated manner. What Fukube did was in poor taste and thankfully Oreki was quite patient with him. It’s a good thing that Ibara knows Fukube really well and explained everything to Chitanda otherwise it would have ended on a bad note. I would have called Fukube a wuss if he didn't call Ibara at the end though 😤
