This episode truly validates Rikka's emotions and her growing feelings for Yuta. Besides that, it also features Shichimiya's story, showing her character development and somewhat mature, yet still slightly cringeworthy conversations, which quietly deepen the romantic narrative.

Quick Takes
View all 21 takesYuta's considerateness toward Rikka regarding their relationship somewhat makes the episode quite appealing, as they gradually deepen their bond and grow closer. Furthermore, their scenes together really deliver a compelling romantic moment.
Well, this episode has a passably interesting story flow that features each character's wavelength dynamics, with eccentric, lighthearted comedy, and the touch of visually aesthetic animation matches that sets the mood of interest for this narrative. Though sometimes, it feels a bit too cringeworthy for me.
