You know, the more I read about Hananoi and the more character development I witness, I end up really feeling for him. Poor guy, with all that anxiety and abandonment issues. I wanna hold him.
Good for him for finding someone who can bring out the best in him and support him the way he needs to grow.
RECAP: Some girls in school make comments about Hotaru's appearance and how plain she is because they're jealous and one of them wants to confess to Hananoi. This causes Hotaru to stress a bit about her looks but her bestie and Hananoi swiftly put an end to that. Pool day, before that is swimsuit shopping and we get to see a bonus panel of Hananoi telling bestie that the swimsuit should be as conservative as possible lol. Then at the pool, Hotaru runs into Saki's ex, gets warned off about how much of a red flag he is, but Hotaru defends him. Then it goes to homework session, rain out, Hananoi's place, "adult" kissing, then Saki's dad shows up!
