The episode was entertaining and probably the peak comedy. The gags and expressions were hilarious, yet the pacing was slow. The old and newly formed friendships were easily combined and bonded perfectly, as one. Yorita stepped up on this one, hearing the heart out of Rintaro.

With summer break coming soon, it also means that it is time for exams again. And with exams comes more studying sessions, this time with the whole group including Kaoruko and Subaru who take the role of helping Rintaro and his friend study to hopefully not fail.

Some parts are actually pretty funny, with little moments where characters get that nervous, red-faced, sweaty reaction. The “storm” isn’t just literal—it mirrors what the characters are feeling, and it hits really well.

Episode Context

Episode 10 leans into the warmth that makes this series so effective. With final exams looming, the focus shifts to the group dynamic. Rintaro, Kaoruko, and their circle of friends rally together in a study arc that prioritizes camaraderie and personal growth over dramatic conflict. The pacing is deliberately steady, giving space for quiet character moments and lighthearted humor between meaningful beats of introspection. Romantic tension simmers beneath the surface rather than boiling over, making this a breather episode that still moves the emotional needle. Expect the kind of gentle, lived-in interactions CloverWorks handles well, friends teasing each other, stealing glances, and figuring out who they want to be. If you've been watching for the slow-burn chemistry between Rintaro and Kaoruko, this episode rewards your patience with subtle but resonant progression.
