This episode stood out to me as one of the more satisfying entries by finally giving Aika and Wataru proper alone time and letting Aika take a concrete step forward with her proposal. The focused pacing, solid writing of their awkward-yet-sincere interaction, and higher emotional stakes make it feel like a genuine turning point, even if the visuals and soundtrack remain at the show’s usual competent but unremarkable level.

I don't really hate Aika since she isn't a bad person, but the way her character is written is just so freaking bad, man! I mean, the way she reacts to Sajou interacting with others is just stupid. Like, dude, you rejected him. He accepted it and decided not to bother you anymore. And now you're acting all jelly? Kekw. Sajou isn't any better either. This dude is simping as usual. On another note, the fact that this major development happened when the series is almost over is just terrible in terms of pacing.

The first few scene was unuexpected. It is also nice to see Ashida and Wataru's playful banter. Aika was cool about helping Aizawa. Sasaki saw Wataru in this episode, it was so awkward. The ending is nice.
