Despite the fact that Nagatoro did not discover Senpai’s name this time, the episode was nonetheless enjoyable. This program does a good job of switching between humorous and more romantic parts, so neither ever feels out of place. Because their relationship never seems forced, I like the way the tension between Nagatoro and Senpai is gradually rising. It is allowed to develop naturally, with all of its pleasant and unpleasant moments included.

It will be intriguing to watch if and how Nagatoro’s desire to kiss Senpai ever again enters the picture. It’s a confession that the show won’t be able to ignore indefinitely. But if it does, it will undoubtedly be a satisfying moment.
