(L) Kubo-san wa Mobu wo Yurusanai (Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible)

[Kanon]

That might have been my favorite episode so far. The date was very cute and there were several times where the roles were reversed.

I like how everyone is innocuous in this series, even the apparent creeps who were hitting on Kubo turned out to be total bros cheering Shiraishi on when she told them he was her boyfriend. They're usually spiteful when this happens.

Kubo in a ponytail and then the ASMR killed me.

When Kubo drank from his cup I started bracing myself for the inevitable indirect kiss moment which never fail to make me cringe but it never happened. I even had such a good time looking at this new dorky and adorable side of Kubo that I eventually forgot about it until reading your post.

The coffee scene was pretty good.

I had to check for a second that I was watching the right episode because it felt so weird for them to start off with the ED, but I guess they wanted to save the OP to close out the show .

Shiraishi dreaming of that pinkie-swear to hang out more with Kubo? Adorable .

I'm glad we learned from this fun psychological test that Shiraishi is destined to date one woman (Kubo) and that Kubo wants to have a whole soccer team of kids (with Shiraishi) .

Nice to get some adorable sister bonding with Akina and Nagisa. Akina even helped Nagisa with her ponytail and complimenting her outfit for her date with Shiraishi! And while Akina is a little bothered by how fast her little sis is maturing, Nagisa still really looks up to her big sister and wants to be more like her...even down to teasing her and stealing her coffee. Nagisa has come far this season !

Of course Kubo would remember Shiraishi's birthday and go well out of her way to give him a great gift with a whole lead-up and everything. She knows it's his special day after all! And not only was she on cloud 9 getting thanked by him, but even the promise that he'll give her a gift for her birthday too! And I'm sure they'll be gifting each other gifts on their birthday well into the future .

I guess it wouldn't be this show if multiple people weren't looking for Shiraishi even when he is literally right there. I guess they just don't have the Kubo bloodline ability to see him .

How did Kubo become interested in Shiraishi? Well, she's literally the only one who can see him, like how she was the only one who realized he was in his middle school yearbook they just plastered his photo onto thinking he wasn't in the group...even though he actually was! And she just really wanted to know what someone who nobody ever saw, nobody ever knew, was really like and as fate would have it she ended up sitting next to him. And after freaking him out because she could see and talk to him, his adorable awkwardness utterly charmed her into wanting to get to know him better. And we all know what those feelings blossomed into as they got to know each other better .

And a pretty nice moment to end on of Shiraishi turning to look at Kubo while she admits she just can't take her eyes off of him !

I enjoyed the ride, this didn't felt like a final chapter. I hope for a second season and full adaptation since the manga ended but time will tell.

8/10.

Took me a while to get caught up with the rebroadcast season but it was worth it for HanaKana and Kubo faces. I'm not the biggest fan of gimmick romcoms but it was still a solid 7/10 if not higher.

It was a cute anime, but I have to say it was carried pretty hard by HanaKana. Kubo was the perfect kind of role for her.

Spoiler for final thoughts:

Finally ends another Takagi-san clone, following in the footstep of other clones by making the heroine even more stalker-y and creepy and the protagonist even less likeable and only liked because Gods said so

...Yeah, that's all there is to say. The gimmick doesn't work. Making him invisible except when he isn't is obviously hard to work with in the story, since it either limits his interaction with sub-characters or he becomes conveniently non-invisible randomly.

I guess the character designs for the female characters were cute, but can't say that's unique.

6/10

Cute show, the ost was fun to listen to as well.
