nervous
about this as I do?
This was definitely a fun episode for Mutsuki, and I am looking forward to your impressions of his storyline going forward.

I think this is a solid assessment of Mutsuki's state of mind at this point. Which, you know, teenager who found something Really Cool and has suddenly discovered that maybe it's not all amazing. He thought he'd been Cursed With Awesome and is instead discovering maybe he's been Blessed With Suck, and his epiphany tracks with that very much.

Look at Tachibana being the stable reasonable one!

I would like to note that slurping noodles is how you are Supposed To Eat them
(No, seriously, ramen/udon/soba noodles are slurped, loudly. It's the polite thing to do. Then that transfered over to spaghetti, which makes for some interesting cross-cultural experiences.)
Random aside observation - does anyone else think Hajime actually got a haircut? Usually no one gets haircuts until filming is Over, as may have been mentioned near the start of this thread.
