intentional or not, I like how the story makes me empathize with mom–I want to protect Kuro, even though I’m fully aware how toxic it would be to completely lock her down. As an aside, since it’s clear that dad is a bit of a playboy, I wonder if the hints towards mom being a bit toxic will get explored as well?

word of advice to Minami-kun, the alpha move to assert dominance when dad asks “are you dating”, is “not yet”

just putting this out there. I don’t think Kotaro understands how many people are into getting stepped on

(just kidding, but I have such high expectations for this show now that I am a little worried it won’t be able to live up to them–I’m really looking forward to next week)
