I knew the remarriage topic was going to be brought up, because it was obvious. I didn’t think it would happen so fast. Though then again, I don’t know how much of this is getting adapted.
Moriya is an interesting wild card for the moment. Keisuke said he doesn’t want to remarry, but Marika is okay with it. Not remarrying would be the safer route with the story, but I hope they go the more interesting route.
Poor Mai, she was so nervous lmao
And poor Mai to witness That…
This show Breaking my Heart again
I’m so glad this is a seinen – refreshing to see the maturity of handling a misunderstanding within an episode.
Marika is such a strong ~~girl~~ woman to have accepted any potential remarriage and move on. And with that “marriage paper”, that seems to rule out Moriya too.
Marika’s new family side on the other hand will be a lot messier for sure.
Ah yes weekly emotionally destroyed section.
For what it’s worth seeing this emotionally broken slowly getting healed is quite heartwarming even then it also feels the inevitable “good bye” feel even dread.
Funny how some family issues can be solved by just talking huh. Mai and him had been constantly on edge since Takae death but they talking out finally made them realize each other’s sufferings. This episode is very nice both visual and story and saw “Marika” let her childish emotional let’s out going wild for once is really nice to see.
I wonder what direction they will go with Moriya also should be interesting. It is pretty obvious that she loves the mature, professional side at work so I wonder if her feelings might change when she finally gets to see another side of him.
There are 2 important lessons to be learned from this episode.
1) Treasure the people around us.
2) Learning to let go and move on.
Yet after watching this episode, I can’t help but feel the above 2 statements contradict one another to a certain extent. Takae felt sad that her family members couldn’t move on after her death, but she is also happy that their feelings for her have not changed since her passing.
The undying love Niijima has for Takae even after her reincarnation is sweet and all but sheesh, dude’s way too chill about publicly telling people an elementary school kid is his wife. Surprised they didn’t agree on the niece coverup sooner (or if they did, that our guy’s too lovestruck to stick to it lol)
My negative thinking really made me believe the episode would end badly.
I was curious to see how they would navigate the relationship once other people were introduced (or potentially introduced). It’s kind of nice to see them affirm their relationship as a family despite the circumstances. I just kinda wonder if it’s something that’s tenable in the long term. Like Takae said, in the eyes of everyone else she’s just a kid.
For a moment I assumed the lights during the carefree run are a car she’s about to collide with.
Small brain: remarry with Moriya.
Big brain: remarry with Marika after a timeskip.
Congratulations on your new job Mai! Though really the thing that makes you happiest isn’t just having a new job, but getting to be with your complete family again to celebrate it!
Oh hey, it’s Mai’s love interest (?) from the OP, Renji! He seems kind of standoffish and irritable, which with Mai’s insecurity and awkwardness around people, makes for a bad first impression but I’m eager to see how their relationship develops.
It must be surreal to be in the body of an elementary schooler and having to mentally debate how to do homework without making it look suspicious or taking calls from your adult daughter for advice.
Shiori made a great choice making her and Moriya dress in yukata for a festival, especially when they run into Keisuke! And Shiori is all set to play wingwoman for Moriya, whether she likes it or not! Though Moriya is pretty insistent they’re just friends…not that it’s completely believable.
Keisuke really would have blabbed everything if Takae wasn’t there. Dude just has utterly no self-awareness when it comes to Takae now.
Takae doesn’t know what to make of Moriya. On the one hand, she’s a nice, classy, and attractive young woman, who might actually be good for Keisuke. On the other hand, mentally you still think of yourself as his wife so obviously you’re not completely comfortable with another woman romantically pursuing him…even if he’s totally unaware of her advances.
Well, yeah, Mai probably never thought she’d see her father with another woman, especially now that her mom is back in their lives, so she reacted how a lot of kids react to their parents’ with a prospective new partner. Though this is also partially on Keisuke because he wasn’t there to help her process her grief while stuck in his own, so the both of them didn’t move on. And poor Moriya is stuck in the middle of this.
Takae didn’t have any intention of interfering in Keisuke’s love life, especially if he’d found someone new, but Takae still wants them to be a family like they’ve always been and Keisuke is even willing to write a contract that states deep down they always will be family and he will basically never love anyone other than Takae. Are they all still in denial? Though Takae still loves Keisuke, so she can’t help herself but be happy.
A bit OOT but does this franchise have its own subreddit? Would be good if there’s a link or something. Thanks in advance!
###Stitches!

I swear to god, [Keisuke is going to get himself arrested](https://i.imgur.com/aJJlv3t.png) if he doesn’t learn to shut up about his relationship with Takae in public.
Honestly, if Keisuke ever decides to move on, [I don’t think Moriya would be a bad choice.](https://i.imgur.com/Ly1OmA9.jpeg) She seems to be a genuinely nice person that [even Takae is impressed with her!](https://i.imgur.com/S7v0UBZ.jpeg) I love how she even says that she would’ve hit on Moriya if she was a dude xD
[Well that was an unfortunate accident](https://i.imgur.com/mhhJyYU.jpeg) that Mai just had to witness. I’m glad it all worked out well [after the Nijimas talked about it](https://i.imgur.com/rPEMV01.jpeg) but I feel bad for Moriya. She definitely thinks she offended Mai after what happened 🙁
How is the show turning out to be? Is the adaptation any good? I’ve heard good things about the manga.
I think this would have made a better movie than 12 episode show. they could have burned through it and been done in 1.5-2 hours.

So seems like they’re going for a true love forever route instead of a moving on from loss angle, can’t say I expected that.
The ending of this episode just feels like a clicking time bomb of depression bound to come. The one taking the biggest risk is Takae in her new life is Marika. Though for her, moving on to her life is hard because look at her new life as Marika versus it was as Takae, she would want that 10 times out of 10. Like how she mentions Keisuke is viewed as single by the world.
I do understand Mai wanting her time with her family back, but given her age, at some point she needs to take steps to be an adult. It goes beyond accepting that Takae her mom is gone and accepting that. It mostly highlights the fact that both Keisuke & Mai lives were a mess when Takae
The thing to consider what if Keisuke starts developing feelings for Moriya. The happiness that comes from that would be good for Keisuke. Obviously, he has a point you shouldn’t marry for the sake of marriage to be with someone. Also, I just feel for Moriya as clearly is fond of Keisuke.
I am very nervous about how episodes will proceed from this point forward. Also, Marika visiting what the world considers a stranger’s house. What happens if Marika’s mom funds out?
I’m getting slightly annoyed by Keisuke’s carelessness in terms of how casual he brings up Marika as his wife or anything along that line. Feel like it’s gonna cause some big drama when it’s preventable if he just has a bit of self-control.
Honestly, I’m feeling mixed if I put myself in Takae’s shoes when faced with the possibility of Keisuke moving on. Getting reincarnated feels like a second shot at life and you’d surely want to get back with your family. But the reality is she is a 10 year old girl now. There’s also the feeling that having her around may feel like a step backwards. Like they won’t want to move forward. Like Mai keeps wanting to cling onto the past now that Marika’s here. I think Takae/Marika is feeling that way too
Also, I’m not looking forward to the conflict or confrontation with Marika’s mom. She’d surely find out about this outing
That talk Takae had with Niijima before she went to Mai was definitely sobering… normally, dense characters are comic relief in anime like this, but it was painful to see the realization in his face when his wife called him out for being emotionally absent toward his daughter.
That being said, a lot of the impact of this was diminished when she so easily agreed to go along with the whole “marriage agreement”
certified loverboy certified . . .
Emotional rollercoaster in this episode. I still can’t shake this sense of dread hanging over this show because you know how they’re living won’t be able to last. It’s just not socially acceptable for the MC to be with an elementary schooler and Keisuke is way too quick to tell people Takae is his wife 😭 dawg she’s like 10
The fireworks date with Moriya was so cute, but I feel so bad for her getting in the middle of this. Mai reacted like many teenagers would at seeing their dad get a gf after their mom died. She’s had so much trauma over the years that she kinda stopped developing when her mom died and we see that at points in the show. Science has shown that people who experience traumatic events actually get frozen in that point in time. For example, it’s why Batman dresses up like a bat and acts like a knight in shining armour, he’s still a big kid who wants to save people.
I couldn’t help but laugh when Mai said Moriya was too young for her dad when he’s hanging with an elementary schooler tho 😭 obviously she doesn’t see her mom as that,.. but still funny af. Speaking of Mai tho, I got a feeling that guy she met at work will be her love interest eventually. Also the daddy daughter bonding moment at the end of the episode was so sweet. Respect to Keisuke for actually apologising to his daughter for not being there at times.
We ended on a happy note, but again you just know shit isn’t gonna last like this. Eventually they will have to let go and move forward with people appropriate for them in this life
Its not working for me…the premise has potential to be touching and bittersweet, but the writing isn’t up to it imo. The whole bit with the contract was bizarre to me. In a season where I was watching fewer shows I probably would stick with it at least for a few more episodes. Perhaps if it receives a lot of praise by season’s end, I will revisit. But most likely not.
When your mistress from work meets your ten year old wife
This anime shows why I dislike the concept of reincarnation.
Even elementary schoolers have 30 years of experience nowadays (although I guess we can assume that she was absent for around 6-12 years).
