| @AP24 Well, that just ruined my mood. But this is what I expected at first any so I guess no biggie? The release of this series is so fucked. |
| Neat anime. It didn't hit quite as hard as the manga did, though. It could be just because this is the second time I'm experiencing this story. The manga felt extremely natural and effortlessly charming, with some palpable tension at times. The anime on the other hand felt more plain, more like a "typical" anime. When you boil it down it's just boring people being nice and talking about nothing in particular. Without the naturalism it just doesn't have the same power, I think. |
| So she didn't recognize him after all, huh. I wonder if this part will come back, and if so, if she recognizes him before he notices her being Yamada. |
| So they already meet before in a long time ago... |

i smoke too. this anime is amazing
| @Kurohimura I quit smoking a year and a half ago. This anime is agonizing. |
| I think I’m kinda addicted to this series. I just keep wanting more every episode. Honestly, I don’t really care about the smoking or the age gap or anything like that- I’m just here for their interactions. Watching them tease each other is way too fun. I enjoy a lot of other anime too, but the vibe and humor in this one just hit differently. It feels really smooth and satisfying to watch. Also makes me feel really calm and comfortable while watching.. |

| There's NO way, the manager is too beautiful, my God, I'm enchanted by her |
| I like Yamada and Gotou, I don't like this senile soyboy bum, well in the first half of this first half at least, surprisingly, he's growing on me but 1. he's a stalker 2. unconsciously making a backup of Tamaya since he doesn't know they're the same 3. groomer, even more apparent in the flashback, she's probably highschool in that flashback also that save was so ass, it's pathetic for a buildup of how she fell for him, like come on, what a soyboy, it would have make sense if he sucker punched that guy and that's why she fell for him but nah, lame typical nonconfrontational culture of japanese people, she got wet over that pathetic heroism, that was pathetic man, zero manliness and she's like omg you're manly and brave, smfh soyboys are considered alpha in this verse |

| In a hindsight, this single episode SLAUGHTERED entire series progression for me. I mean I get why those plot twists are popular but it doesn't mean they are good here especially with the HARD SMOKING concerned. It's not the most stupid thing for romance, but it's such a blatant attempt for romantizing cigarettes of all things on top of that so early in the series too. Another half and I'm out for good, and I'm pissed already. I get the girl is poor and can't afford to vape, but nah, it's because uncle was smoking cigs, she chose cigs too (this is so retro but its so out of place). Did I mention she stayed same low level job same place for 5+ years straight? XD and not a mention of exes.. On a much more meaningful side note, If we are going back to 08s can I get an anime about good effects of weed and acid, pretty please? At least Chainsmoker Cat did it right and the industry is saved once again, lols. But now compare their ratings against each other and understand that this industry can't be saved, oops. |

| My honesty's brutal but it's honestly futile if I don't utilize what I do though for good, at least once in a while |
| Last episode? How? I hope continues in the same season or a new one season!!! The episode? The first meeting, interesting and full of emotions!!! |

@Kimurah Jumping into conclusions like that says a lot how miserable you're. What a low iq of interpret.
| @ZanSyakz I've seen chatgpt replies that are far more elaborated than the most stereotypical butthurt fanboy barking. The fact that you used the 2 most common phrases by illiterate schmucks made me chuckle "says a lot about you" and "you low iq bruh". |

@Kimurah Audience wants nice romance , your idea of "consequences" is puritan scary-mongering, "you can't show characters drinking, smoking, and having sex before marriage without consequences". Do you also think that Bocchi the Rock was bad because it didn't show consequences to Kikuri always getting drunk, or that Botan Kamiina is bad because main cast enjoys alcohol?
Then again, you apparently also think that age gap where the younger person is fully 24 fucking year old is somehow creepy, and that current Yamada is somehow "vulnerable", so you must be one of those zoomer puritans that feels attacked with "micro-aggression" whenever you see a character doing something you don't fully approve. And you are the one accusing others of wanting to see "nothing but an insipid" whatever, truly ironic.

| @Bear_from_cave You had to barf the word puritan twice in your worthless whataboutism verbal diahrrea. If you're older than 12 I just feel ashamed for both of us on your poor education and failure to make a proper retort that actually has something to stand on. Hilariously bad argumentation to use one show to use as some benchmark against another one, but anyways, lets take the gloves off. For starters Bocchi the rock was solid in it's writting (something that whatever hackjob who made this webcomic and his dumb brown noses fanboys don't know jack shit about). Bocchi sat mostly down to earth premises, loner girl who finally gets friends, becomes a moderately known member of a local band due to her honed skills, and after a short journey she's on the right path to be a part in society. On the other hand, Kikuri was there for comedic relief, she wasn't the main protagonist, she was a side character whose bad drinking habits were exposed as a negative all the time (people getting mad because she punched a wall, the audience feeling akward for her barfing on stage, and even Seika acting as the straight man in a comedic skit with her showing her the right path). Nothing about Kikuri's alcoholic behaviour is being romanticized to the audience, it always manages to make her look like a role not to follow. Quite the opposite in this scham of a cartoon called smoking behind the supermarket where consequences aren't a thing. Don't even get me started about Botan being some silly alcohol product placement for dumb weebs that are easy to impress with cheap yuri like a todler giggling at jiggling keys. Third. You're saying that people want a nice romance. Which people? Anime audiences are incredibly varied and looking how very unpopular this show was, it makes me think this was some very niche forgettable show that won't last or be talked next season. Also people like romance shows with consequences, Your lie in April, I want to eat your pancreas, A silent voice, all of them and many more have character progression and consequences for the cast and are infinitely more known than this series from the dollar store that couldn't even get a streaming schedule right. If your point goes that I should bend over to the whims of a small karen group that don't like to hear negative things about their cartoons, boy you should go out more often and learn how the world works. Fourth and last, they did meet when she was still a highschooler and he was what in his late to early 30s, he's around twice her age. It would have been nothing if they actually meet for the first time as in episode 1 with Yamada in her twenties and Sasaki in his 40s, the way it is it feels like the author tries to test the waters on grooming by making Yamada feel like Sasaki is some role to follow. It's already bad that they have no actual interests in common other than the smoking advertising and making them look cool because idiots are easy to fool and rope in to product placement. Ask anyone who is not brainwashed by dumb anime logic and more likely than not they will also feel at least some discomfort because of the age gap. It has nothing to do with generational crap as you try to defend in your piss poor rethoric that might as well is just as bad as current republican gaslighting reports. |

| Oof this episode hit a bit close to home with this one. Worked at a call centre previously and had customers like that and the awful feeling of not being able to say anything back is really shown here. Its why I avoid customer service jobs like the plague now cause people suck lol. Glad to see Sasaki helped her in the past. I thought that might have been the reason she was interested in him initially but doesnt seem to be the case. Well I caved and watched the early released episodes so now Im gonna have to wait ages until new content. |

| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Refuse to believe that smoking that much hasn't affected Sasaki's lungs, even though I know it's anime and fictional...he should at least have some damage to show some harmful effects of smoking to the audience. Yet that could just ruin the whole show if that was the case, so Imma shut up about that. Instead kinda cool to get a flashback of when Sasaki and Yamada first properly interacted, even if they both don't know it. Kinda crazy how tall Sasaki is, was kinda giving off stick Toji vibes. I can't wait for the rest of the season to drop (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ |
| but sasaki is literally that guy from the flashback?! i cannot fathom why nobody recognizes each other. infantile anime logic at play here. |
 |
| If Sasaki has a vision problem, Yamada has a memory problem because HOW YOU CAN'T REMEMBER IT WAS SASAKI; THE GUY DIDN'T CHANGE AT ALL IN 8 YEARS! |
 |
| Not a fan of cheap, cliché moments like: "about to confess but got interrupted" and "possible cancer diagnosis but turns out he's healthy (mistake by hospital)". Also, she falls in love with a guy showing basic human decency. Ironic how she doesn't know the guy was Sasaki. It'll be fun to see their reactions whenever they realize. I ain't hating this show, but didn't really like how this episode unfolded, that's basically it. |
| He doesn't actually have cancer yippee Does that mean Yamada has been working at the store since she was 16?? That also means they've known each other for 8 years now!! I was worried it was gonna have a grooming spin oon it but thankfully the ashtray was moved. Yamada, he's still smoking cigs right next to you! I'm surprised she hasn't realized it yet (same with Sasaki) |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
Can't help but crack up at how the "smoking is cool" show really went ahead and stopped its protagonist from quitting at the last minute. Yamada getting all grumpy-relieved on Sasaki was beyond adorable to watch in real time though.  She did say she doesn't remember his face and Sasaki finding out the truth about Tamaya would probably still have a bigger freakout but I still need to see how Yamada noticing him with his bangs down and looking oddly familiar. |

| Glad to see that it was Sasaki that stepped in and shut down that piece of shit customer that was harassing Yamada. I thought it was really cute when Tamaya was relieved that Sasaki will be able to still spend time with her. |
| Sasaki's health checkup was coming and he was worried about it. Then one day, he came to Tayama and told he had to quit smoking. She was actually depressed. Because she wouldn't be able to spend time with him. The chief told her to tell Sasaki the truth. She was able to tell the truth but a phone call interrupted. It said Sasaki's organs were good. Really? After this much smoking? Tayama was happy and now Sasaki would be able to spend time with her. But still smoking is a bad habit. We got to see 16 years old Yamada. She was having a problem with a customer. I don't understand why the others didn't not stand against that customer for abuse. Sasaki stepped in and helped Yamada. He cry was unexpected. Her heart moved when she heard that Sasaki knew her efforts and appreciated it. But now, she doesn't know it was Sasaki. I think Sasaki also doesn't know it was Yamada. But Sasaki's appearance is the same. One has vision problem and the other has memory problem.  |
