This episode was mostly about the whole siblings-step-siblings-exes game. I really dont understand Yume's character so far; she's like the typical spoiled brat, but she somehow try to act kawaii.

Well, they are playing the whole siblings-step-siblings-exes game for almost the entire episode, along with a few flashbacks. I'm not really liking Yume's character so far; she's like the typical spoiled brat (which okay, I get that they're teenagers), but she could have a bit more personality instead of her only purpose being 'kawaii'. Let's see how the next episode goes.

The OP started off with a pastel palette that was cool while the ED was adorable with its puppet art style. The pacing was also slow in this episode as an introductory for the new characters. The plot was kind of jumping from the concept of school to siblings that making it confusing. Their backstory was revealed but also can be predicted based on the first ep.

Episode Context

Episode 2 settles into the awkward push-and-pull that defines Mizuto and Yume's forced cohabitation, using a caretaking scenario to test boundaries they're still figuring out. The title signals a fever-driven setup, and the show leans into the comedy of two exes who can't quite maintain the emotional distance they've agreed upon. Expect a slower, more character-focused pace compared to the premiere's setup whirlwind, this one breathes, letting small domestic moments carry the weight. Yume gets particular attention as she grapples with reinventing herself outside the context of her past relationship. A new character, Akatsuki Minami, enters the picture and immediately shifts group dynamics. The tone stays light but threads genuine vulnerability underneath the bickering, giving early indication that this rom-com has more emotional texture than its premise suggests.
