It’s good that this episode gave us a focus on Youta. I liked how Koyun empathizes with Youta in how it is to no longer be living with your original parents. Though the difference is Koyun’s parents divorced, while for Youta his mom passed away. While both have the feeling, does it matter if I am around?
Koyun definitely feels more isolated at home in comparison to Youta his dad and new mom don’t treat him like a kid in the good way. You can see they care for him, but obviously the two younger siblings require more effort and attention to be with.
It is really sweet how the friendship between Youta and Koyun has evolved. Koyun is offering to Youta what Youta evolved for her. A person they can just be honest with. So much so, Youta admits to Koyun about his feelings for Miki. To me, it definitely seems there is no romantic interest between these two, and that is for the best, I would say. Granted, it’s going to be awkward with Miki shipping them.
As Koyun is getting more comfortable around Minato it does feel like we have a clear pair between the main 4. The concern mainly is Miki being unaware of Youta’s feelings for her and trying to push Youta and Koyun together. Ironically, it feels like she is on pace to again push Koyun into a romantic relationship that she doesn’t have interest in.
Also, the other girls at school noticing Miki’s true self definitely has a recipe for upcoming drama if I were to speculate.
