Am I coming here to cry or something?.. Even without ending this time. So quiet 😭

Maximum emotional damage, hugging Nakamura tightly, tightly, His desire to be loved and understood, to really connect with someone is something universal, but such loneliness, a deep-rooted feeling of alienation, forcing isolation from peers, is incredibly close to queer people. The creators were really able to convey the otherness of growing up and the specific pain of realizing that Crash is heterosexual (these shots are of happy straight couples and not a single apparently queer one).

I like you the way you are.

Maybe he wanted someone to tell him that at least once in his life. It's just bad that ED doesn't have cool retro music, but just an empty room where his family's conversations over dinner are faintly heard, and the evening show is playing on TV. The world keeps moving forward, even when you're bursting with pain.

Well, that's how to go to bed after that
For some reason, I was sure that this was the last episode, so my heart sank at the end - such an end to the title would have been very cruel for me. 💔
Thank God there will be a 13th episode.

Expected, yes.
Not this time, Nakamura. Well, it's still a bit naive to suggest that a person become friends with a secret subtext without knowing it at all.

What did Hirose mean when he asked about the chocolate bar? I'm not giving up hope gentlemen)

@eastfield311: Well, speaking sensibly, Hirose is still not indifferent to Nakamura. But it was not for nothing that he stood at the aquarium with the saying about "even if you are sensitive to trends, stay calm." His friends are hitting on girls with all their might, and it bothers him. He likes Nakamura, and it's annoying too. He's half a year younger than Nakamura. And then a beautiful girl, approved by her friends, turns up on her own. Well, that's it. If Hirose has something for Nakamura, he would like to sort it out first.

It was just incredible... Chiaki Kobayashi thank you for existing 🙏

I thought until the very end that they would end on a positive note, but alas...

@loevoe: finish the series*. That's how 13 more will be.

I also liked the moment when Nakamura walks and sees only straight couples around. It was especially painful for him.

Nakamurochka, my dear boy, it hurts you so much.
It broke my heart.
or maybe Hirose really started dating Hana just because of peer pressure? I was afraid to be honest with myself...
although they really look very cute together.

for me, this is the best anime of this season and the first half of the year. maybe it will be the best for the whole year, I don't know what will happen next in the fall and winter) I honestly wasn't expecting it. I started watching it spontaneously because I liked the drawing, but I fell in love with everything from the first episode - the drawing, the characters, the music~~, Nakamura's voice ~~~
it was just wonderful, thank you! I will miss them very much. 😭

Is there going to be another 13 episodes?! God, I'm happy) my hacks are delayed a bit))) and how else can things change! I was even surprised by such a sad ending. Even though it's vital

What a difficult episode it turned out to be, and it was such a promising start : (Of course, I had already picked up spoilers and was ready to start crying from the first minutes, but anyway, even prepared, I cried out a waterfall, and even my own experience really responded.What a lonely Nakamura in all this, I'm sad most of all that He doesn't have anyone around 😭 I love him very much (っ╭╮)And I really want to hug him!!!

It's a pretty vital reflection of the experiences of many, many young queers. It's sad, but there is something.
It turns out Nakamura smiled at Kawamura with such a request? Well, at least he wasn't completely alone now.
