The phrase “newlywed couple” came across my mind several times watching it, and Kaoruko’s husband made a similar observation, though Kizuhiro denies it.

But first let’s go back a bit and not forget the power of anime:

Not to mention the power of obento as well.

The Orient Express themed French restaurant seemed pretty nice. Marie had a lovely reaction to the foie gras steak, barely contain her scream (Kazuhiho: I told you so).

Both Marie and Kazuhiho’s life changed when she came to Japan, and both gained courage to broaden their relationships with new people. I liked it when they naturally hold hands. Such a sweet episode.
