Created By Comedy, Drama, Romance, Young Adult, Animation, Non-English Introduced This Episode This content contains pertinent spoilers. Table of Contents hide Overall Plot Overview Uozumi Rikuo has graduated college, but rather than work a full-time job that would take up all his time and potentially stress him out, he works at a convenience part-time. But with being 6 months separated from graduation and his college crush, Shinako, coming back around, alongside this girl named Haru bugging him, Rikuo finds himself pushed to act. To maybe not coast anymore and lie about who he is, what he wants to do, and his fear of failure, but take a risk. An idea that may spark Haru to do the same, or live in fear as Rikuo may consider continuing to do. Question(s) Left Unanswered How old is Haru exactly, especially for her to be one of Shinako’s former students? Highlights Rikuo’s Life Is So Relatable It Hurts Rikuo (Chikahiro Kobayashi) While not in the exact place Rikuo is in, anymore, there is something about that fresh out of college and have no idea what the hell to do that hits HARD.
Especially if you see college as less of you taking the first steps into adulthood and more so extending your adolescence. For in college, yes, you can accrue debt, but you still have all the things high school forced you to have but now on your terms. So it is like the ideal version of high school. But then you lose the ability to make your own schedule, meeting new people on a fairly consistent basis and then all you find are dead-end jobs which barely will support you. Never mind have no interest in supporting whatever lifestyle you grew up with and want to help you with this debt you have now just to get that terrible job. One that shouldn’t even ask for a degree. I think I was triggered. Anyway, where Rikuo is in life reminds me why I continue to check every season what anime is coming out. For while it isn’t as big of a part of this site as it was one or two years ago, we still enjoy the art form. It’s just the action genre, fantasy, sci-fi, and all that, we either outgrew it, or our taste changed. And while it comes to slice of life or dramas, often they feel so dry or so mindless that it makes the idea of dedicating ourselves to it difficult. Getting back to the subject at hand, however, Rikuo’s life stirs something up within us that makes the idea of following his path of interest.
Rikuo’s Friendships While I’m very unsure about the relationship Rikuo has with the young man who visited him, as with the chapter Rikuo is in, everything clicks when it comes to his friendships. Be it the girl you were close with who you have a crush on, get along with, but think asking her out would lead to a rejection, to the co-worker who, like you, isn’t really passionate about much but is exploring this one thing just to kill time. Though, the best thing about Rikuo’s friendships might be that, outside of Haru being the eccentric kid she is, you can easily see everyone as real and having their own story. That, when they exit Rikuo’s purview, there aren’t people polishing them up, changing them, and getting ready to position them for their next scene. Shinako (Yume Miyamoto)
