Things have gotten so deliciously muddy that something’s gotta give soon.

Next chapter should be fire indeed!

Show keeps you at the very edge of your seat. So exciting!

Based on the reaction it feels like the emotional distance between the new family members is pretty huge in that house. It’s like neither know what to expect from each other.

This is such must-watch tv. Halfway thru the season, and everything is up in the air right now. Can’t wait for the next episode!

You’re not wrong. He’s got socializing down to a T as an art form, but doesn’t have anything going on inside, so it creates these problems for him. People clearly assume that he’s deeper than he is, and are disappointed to find out.

I saw another commenter note that all the while he was bombarding Koyun with questions, we don’t actually know the first thing about his interests and hobbies. Makes sense to just assume he doesn’t have any?

That said, I don’t think he’s irredeemable because of the interaction with Miki. It’s not that he was completely in the wrong with Koyun, either, he couldn’t possibly know how deep her anxieties go. Only the viewers have had access to her insecurities so far, so the blow-up was at the very least unexpected if not unwarranted. Can’t wait for the next episode!

Yea, lotta action in this episode. Things are really heating up with Minato getting several earfuls. At least he was very considerate of Miki’s viewpoint once she made it known.

It’s amazing how he simply can’t stop from stepping into landmines with Koyun even though he’s just trying to banter.

This is basically gap moe the anime so far. I’m having some trouble with the predictability of the gags and, especially, the FL’s predictable reactions even though the actors are fun and I like the cast. Time will tell if it’ll get more clever but I really want to like it!

Yeah the anime seems to adapt the look and feel of the manga down to a T. Best job at that this season, methinks. Can’t vouch for the manga, I’ve read less than 10 chapters, but looks to be light and fun.

Yeah, Koyun can’t even begin to wrap her head around as to why Minato would even try to approach her. It simply all seems fishy to her, lol. That’s why Minato is going to have such a hard time doing his usual thing.

It’s actually really funny to see Koyun go thru the various alternative behaviours she can think up in real time, trying to see what might work in a particular situation. Nothing comes naturally any more since she’s shut herself out. And yet she’s completely natural with Youta already, so it isn’t that she can’t - she’s just overthinking everything.

I think the way you framed the characters is really good, it’s as if they all have something the others don’t. Youta has his issues, too, but we just haven’t seem them yet :)

Woo! Season 2 in the summer. See you then!

She’s great! The author of this manga has a fantastic knack for fully rounded characters, including but not at all limited to the leads. Polar Opposites is very similar to this show. You’re in for a treat in case you haven’t seen it. It’s a show where pretty much everyone you’d like to has a story.

:::spoiler You could make the argument that this show has the leads inverted compared to Polar Opposites. :::

I was a little uncertain about the pacing and tone of the first half of the first episode, it felt like they were going too hard trying to set up the show. But I see now that it simply was a difficult task to get things going, the manga is very subtle and has a ton going for it.

This second episode is already on top of things and the humour is starting to show through. I’m already super looking forward to the third episode, much in the same way I was with the anime of the author’s other series, Polar Opposites. I’m pretty sure this is going to be as good.

I would say that Minato and Koyun are in similar ruts, just from the opposite angle. Minato doesn’t know how to stop, and Koyun doesn’t know how to start. I am loving how her dumbfoundedness is animated, it’s much funnier here than in the manga.
