okay we didn't get exactly what i wanted BUT i do think it's telling that ichimura's biggest reaction came from the earrings, not the makeup or dress. he's WAY more affected by yoi's desire to match with him than he is at her attempt to look more feminine

oh my god okay double tragic backstory!!! the thing with yoi being insecure about her sister looking more feminine and therefore more attractive to guys gives me a ton of hope for ichimura assuring her that her masculine side is incredibly attractive to him. and ichimura's family just gets even more fractured the more we learn about it wow. no wonder he's touch starved

noooooo this is exactly what i was worried about with yoi suddenly feeling like she has to "doll herself up" to make ichimura happy and be a proper gf. i REALLY hope ichimura says something like "hey i like this just as much as the outfit from yesterday, you don't have to force girliness on yourself if you don't want to". cause he CLEARLY likes her no matter how masc or femme she's presenting on a particular day

i truly can't get enough of moments like these where yoi and ichimura are both simultaneously but separately blushing like crazy and kicking their feet. and especially right after ichimura just opened up about not knowing how to express affection without making it sexual??? and he's THIS affected by a hug????? he wants to kiss yoi so bad but i fear it might kill him

FLUSTERED AND EMOTIONALLY VULNERABLE ICHIMURA MMMHMMMMM right when i thought he couldn't get any more beautiful jesus christ. but of COURSE he relies heavily on physical contact to express love when that's what's been valued above all else in all of his other romantic relationships. very glad that he's opening up about it to yoi cause it's been a big point of contention for them since the very start

YES i'm glad yoi is bringing up the physical contact stuff cause i do feel like it's something they need to get on the same page about. also. ichimura is so fucking gorgeous idk how she isn't jumping him (she's insecure and inexperienced i get it)

YOI'S OUTFIT IS FUCKING KILLER HELLO????????? she's so hot it's actually criminal. her style really is naturally more masculine and i just hope she continues to embrace that and even lean more into it with encouragement from ichimura. he pointed out her low self-esteem earlier, so i hope she really starts making strides in that department, and clothes could be a great step!!!! manifesting another shopping date pls

hey ohji that is an incredibly weird thing to ask right after she told you she has a boyfriend???? even if it really is because of his sister's birthday, he literally made it sound like he was asking her out. plus, he clearly likes her, so i feel like he should be trying to distance himself, not get even closer????? ugh i hope he gets fully friend-zoned soon, i don't even get what his purpose in the story is
