The flashback had what that we expected–an awestruck Chiyo falling in love with a pretty cool Nozaki. Despite all the warning signs of poor lighting, loud fireworks, and a still largely unconfident Chiyo and unaware Nozaki, there was still hope! Hope in the face of trope-tastic adversity!īefore we got to that scene though, the flashback was a sweet call back to the beginning of the series, before Chiyo regularly wore her signature polka-dotted ribbons. Clearly, we’re all thinking, “will they kiss!?” hoping that the show pulls a fast one on us and breaks another trope one last time, and the show definitely put some of us on the edge in what was ultimately going to happen. Some of the misunderstandings have gotten dry and over-used, such as Nozaki’s unyielding (and narrow sighted) focus on his craft, but overall, it was still a pleasant episode to watch.īut, after all those last gags, we come to that scene. Overall, it was an alright lead-up to the fated fireworks scene, allowing us to peek into the misunderstandings of our cast one last time. Wakamatsu is an especially ridiculous case of this, where his imagination knows no bounds when trying to figure out Seo’s seemingly random actions. It’s always been amusing to see every character think sensibly about everyone else’s scenario save their own, such as Kashima’s inability to recognize how her relation to Hori is viewed by everyone else, or how all the male characters can question Nozaki and Chiyo’s relationship while simultaneously not recognizing their own. Today’s setup was misunderstandings galore, where it seems that getting everyone on the same wavelength at once is an impossibility. It is the show’s way of introducing all of the major characters one last time, wrapping up any loose ends unrelated to shipping before the curtain call. The Valentine’s Day skit and the first half of the festival skit shouldn’t have been of surprise to anyone. It’ll be tough to say farewell to this cast of inverted tropes, but here’s to hoping someone sensible (or crazy) convinces the right people to give us another season. Although the last episode ironically used one of the most overused plot devices known to romance, the ending was sweet and hopeful, as all feel-good romantic comedies should do. Let’s dive right into this finale–a bittersweet goodbye to what has been a show full of laugh-out-loud comedy. Osu, Zanibas here subbing in for Stilts (again) while he’s out doing even more dubious activities (again). “If This Feeling Isn’t Love, Then There Is No Love At All”
