No one here can afford to lose!! They’re truly giving it their all 🥺 It’s cool to finally know Kaoru’s true feelings of why she feels Like That towards Ikuto LOL. Regardless of that, Ikuto’s not gonna hold back, though… The fashion designs featured in this ep are fun to look at. Stylish yet brilliantly unpredictable~ The emotional moments seal the deal!

It is an elegant, delicate, stunning, spectacular and deeply captivating episode, leaving you completely hooked and never tired of watching it over and over again. I am also loving the atmosphere and the vibe of this episode. Plus!!! the impressive exhibition of each design, the animation visuals, and the choice of background music are absolutely immaculate.

WOW, this episode really hits hard. When I saw the climactic episode of Paradise Kiss, I really felt like I was let down by the clothing collections, since they're one of the main draws of the concept. In this anime, we got to see Ikuto's entire collection, reviewing his ideas and designs, which I loved. We also got some glimpses of Kaoru's designs, though I would have liked to see more. Sometimes the other secondary characters' reflections disrupted the flow of the moment. However, when it was Ikuto's turn, all the development we saw with his family made it all worthwhile, and their thoughts contributed greatly to building the emotion. Very moving, definitely a great episode.
