I've never been grinning ear to ear so often while watching any other show. This is already somehow one of my favourite anime of all time; hopefully they don't rush the ending.
but, why didn't they sync the song on tv and the ending song properly?

I hope Asa and Emiri aren't growing apart, it can be tough to lose touch with close friends like that, especially if you've gone through something traumatic like Asa has. At the very least though, they both seem to be settling into their highschool life well and Asa's comment in the previous episode about losing her parents doesn't seem to have cast a shadow over her school life.

This show is so comfy bro... while being kinda like really sad at the same time.
It seems Makio's mom is a bit distant and sort of bitter but she still cares about her deeply, specially after losing one of her daughters. I'd imagine that makes one think about possibly losing their other kids too soon, sounds terrifying.
So... a Mac laptop costs 300k yen??? Ain't that like $3000 in USD? For a fcking Mac laptop??? That's fcking wild.
Ah man, Makio totally still digs her ex, like it's so obvious lol. That last scene was so cute, they are cute together.

For some reason, every time there’s a flash back of Asa’s mom, and when Asa mentioned her Mom to Makio chan, it always brings tears to me. Like when her Grandma was crying. i feel like little by little, Asa is seeing what she have lost…

Aside from Asa's face bugging out in a scene... this show rly never miss so far, innit?

Attorney-kun shakes Makio's hand, Kasamachi noticed from afar, look kinda shocked....
NTR ka!? Sore wa NTR ja nai ka!? wwwwww
I thought this gonna turn into a reverse harem development!!!!! With Attorney-kun, Kasamachi, and Daigo (yuri FTW!!!!) all aiming for Makio.... wwwwww

Edit:
Also, Asa-chan, go sleepover at Emiri-chan's place for a night will ya? A cousin will make you less lonely don't u think? IYKWIM ofc... wwwww
This way we'll get 2 birds with one stone actually. Asa-chan can have a cousin, and we the audience can get Asa X Emi yuri.... wooowoooow.... wwwwww

Asa is having doubts regarding what club to join and in the chance of disappointing Makio with her decision she went and bought herself a laptop. Not gonna lie, if I were to have a sudden spend like that I wouldn't be able to collect myself that quickly. Of course, part of that has to go to the attorney who switched between being formal and apologetic in quite the endearing manner.

Of course Asa would choose something music related. She had even sung a Justin song back in episode 1.

Minori really doesn't seem like that bad of a person. It's just that she has flaws to herself, but so does everybody else. Sukuna wants to be with Makio again so badly.

Nothing could make it right for their mother apparently.
Her sister was accused of having no personality either and that's why she lashed out on Makio.
Later she tried to make it right with her daughter, although old habits slipped through.

Makio is too much "me for real" every episode. 🙈
Yeah I hate thinking of and dealing with bureaucratic shit.

Last scene was so cute!

The look of the mother when she encourages Asa to be whatever you want…

Even though I think we know where this is leading, I don’t know if my heart can take it.
What a special special anime.

Another great episode.

Band club it is! Glad she decided what she wanted to join. Probably should've talked about withdrawing money to buy a laptop. Ngl I was expecting worse like someone stealing money somehow or something glad at least it was Asa using her own money I guess though she should've definetly said something before had. Anyways all good now. Attorney ngl was kinda intense I felt like Makio while he was talking, even though I'm not part of the scene. He doesn't seem like a bad guy though just very passionate about his job I guess.

Also with us getting even more of the mom and even some of grandma I really wonder kinda about the dad? Will we touch on him? or I guess he just wasn't a big influence unlike the mother?

So we finally get shown some of the legal-side of adopting a relative. And hey, who hasn't done an impulse-buy when emotional. I see that Minori was a bit more complicated a character than Makio wants to admit (and she seems to be learning this through Asa). I like how they show Makio and Daiko's situationship so naturally; one of the strengths of josei and why I wish more of it got anime adaptation is how mature and realistic they are even when compared to seinen.

We better have more episodes with Mori.

The cozy, happy couch scene felt so right. They’re slowly getting used to each other. Asa has so much trauma, but so does Makio.

This is shaping up to be my favorite series airing this season. Might end up being in my top 5 Josei anime of all time. Seriously though, we need more Josei adaptations.

The show has found a way to consistently give flawless direction and characterisation through simple scenes and dialogue. I'm interested in seeing what the band will end up bringing to Asa's development

It was a bit clunky choice that sudden cutting off of Asa's favourite song at the end of the episode then starting at once the music of the ED. They should have just let Asa's song close this episode. Otherwise great episode as always.

I really like the way in which the anime chooses to address many themes and the small details in the characters’ behavior. The first episodes feel like a prelude to the story, with fewer emotional moments and more exposition, but they are essential for creating the heart-wrenching moments in the later episodes

I am loving the way the relationships are all developing between the characters. Watching Asa work through her grief for her mother and coming up with her own narrative of who her mom was, and who her mom will continue to be to her growing up is really thoughtful.

Oh no. Not Asa and Emiri seemingly growing apart :(

Brilliant episode. Felt particularly moved during the visit to Makio's mother's house. Not to mention it was also nice to see a bit more of Makio's teenage days.
Asa spending 300k yen on a laptop tho... just wow.

Makio and Kasamachi looked cute together at the end. I need to know the reason behind their breakup asap.

I love the realness of it. I also appreciate the adults around Asa are good people, that lawyer is great :)

Although I read the manga, I think having it voiced and animated gives it such a wonderful touch and makes it even more enjoyable and emotional.

Alguém mais percebe a remição de Minori, Mãe de Asa?

Ela se redimiu, porém não conseguiu deixar a essência que atormentava sua irmã, levando-a a criticar Asa com qualquer contrapartida que sua filha tomasse

Asa comprar um Mac de 300K jy é pouco comparado com o que já fiz na adolescência;-; lol

Para dizer o mínimo, eu montei um PC de 3K $ usando o dinheiro dos meus pais sem eles saberem😂😮
