Es el turno de conocer mejor a Miki, quien no lo está pasando bien en clases. Fingir para encajar es cansador y el temor a ser descubierta y rechazada es grande. Es interesante la ayuda que Miki recibe de sus amigos y cómo enfrenta esta situación.

The atmosphere in this episode feels heavy. But Miki finally develop her character and also her relationship between her classmates. And then this episode ends with adorable interaction between Koyuki and the others.

Episode Context

Titled 'On Equal Footing,' this episode carries the weight of a turning point, the kind that shifts how characters see each other rather than what they do. Expect a slower, more introspective pace with dialogue doing the heavy lifting. The drama here feels intimate rather than explosive, leaning into the emotional space between characters rather than external conflict. Koyuki 'Koyun' Hikawa's relationships, particularly the tensions and distances she navigates with those closest to her, appear to be the central focus. The romantic undercurrent is present but restrained, grounded in vulnerability rather than grand gestures. Fans of character-driven drama will find this episode rewarding; those waiting for plot momentum may need patience.
