In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika return to Fruits Basket (2019) and begin season two! In episode twenty-six, Yuki joins his fellow student council members: Manabe and Machi, and he certainly doesn’t know what to make of them. Motoko’s embarrassing outburst in the student council room is difficult to see unfold. In episode twenty-seven, Kazuma shows just how exemplary of a father he was, and still is, to Kyo. Kyo and Tohru share a deeply emotional conversation over late night somen regarding their futures. Chika and Giana are unquenchably intrigued, wondering what Shigure’s writing is like. Shigure’s laundry analogy perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being overwhelmed. In episode twenty-eight, Yuki steps out of his comfort zone yet again to try and better understand his flamboyant brother Ayame by visiting his clothing shop. We get a glimpse into Yuki’s difficult relationship with his family, including Ayame growing up. Despite their differences, the brothers strive to meet in the middle so that they can begin to mend their bond. This is possibly the most vulnerable episode we’ve released on the main podcast.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika, Giana, and Jason Lord, voice actor and ADR director of the English dub of A Sign of Affection, review episodes seven through nine of the show! In episode seven, Itusomi and Yuki are official! Jason discusses the use of watercolors to denote the mixing of their communication styles in profound moments between them. After such a build up of romantic tension, Yuki and Itsuomi finally share a kiss thanks to an adorable miscommunication. In episode eight, Shin’s Keyboard Cat CD from Emma not only makes a big impression on him, but on Chika, Giana, and Jason as well. Itsuomi’s and Yuki’s “almost kiss” causes a lot of fun tension.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika review episodes four through six of A Sign of Affection! In episode four, Yuki, Itsuomi, Rin, and Kyoya go on an adorable, mundane double date. It’s a wonder Kyoya hasn’t picked up on Rin’s very obvious feelings. Itsuomi asserts his place by Yuki’s side when he stands up to Oushi on the street. In episode five, Itsuomi’s string of suave moves take the ladies’ breath away. Kyoya’s emotional distance from Rin sends up a red flag. Rin, as the world’s best wingwoman, sets Yuki and Itsuomi up to continue an important conversation that had been interrupted. Unfortunately, we learn that Yuki’s family has never taken the time to learn sign language, whereas Itsuomi is making a point to learn it for her. In episode six, Itsuomi’s beautiful confession to Yuki in the snow is a shoujo moment for the history books. He also makes sure to clear up any confusion regarding his relationship with Emma. Throughout this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana share a lot of memories, thoughts, and feelings about life, relationships, and some unhinged thoughts!

In episode one, we enter Yuki’s world, our pink-haired deaf protagonist. The poetic, romantic nature of this beautifully animated series is captivating to say the least. We also meet Itsuomi, a boy passionate about language and culture, and Rin, Yuki’s extraordinary wingwoman of a friend who’s crushing on Itsuomi’s cousin, Kyoya. Yuki’s and Itsuomi’s instant chemistry jumpstarts all three ladies’ hearts. Ayu opens up about the shoujo sparkles in her own relationship. In episode two, Itsuomi makes a point to stay in contact with Yuki while traveling, and it goes to show how much he truly likes her. Rin continues to be the wingwoman of the century. Oushi is frustrating in the way he signs so harshly to Yuki, for infantilizing her, and for translating for her without her asking, among other things. In episode three, Yuki makes a sign language guide for Itsuomi! Talk about dedication! Yuki tells Itsuomi that she’s comfortable with his touch, melting everyone’s hearts. Shin and Emma are introduced, and Yuki asks Itsuomi for clarity on whether or not he’s dating Emma. Itsuomi sets strong boundaries with Emma.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana review episodes ten through thirteen of Sasaki & Miyano! There’s a few live fanfic moments, so please indulge alongside the girlies in some sweet, wholesome fantasies. In episode ten, Sasaki casually confides in Kuresawa, showcasing his ease with talking to his love interest’s friends. While out in public, Sasaki is able to ease Miyano’s worries about others speculating if the two of them are dating, which truly awakens Miyano’s feelings. However, Miyano’s lack of confidence in his feelings is a little frustrating. In episode eleven, Miyano’s determination to confess to Sasaki in just the right way is adorable. The absence of homophobia throughout Sasaki & Miyano is a breath of fresh air in the world of LGBTQ+ media. Hanzawa’s unclear feelings towards Miyano are a bit confusing. Chika shares part of her coming out story. In episode twelve, Sasaki maturely reconsiders his actions in episode eleven. We have an absolutely beautiful sunset confession scene! Unfortunately, however, Kuresawa puts Miyano in a position to reveal his relationship to Tashiro before he’s ready to do so. In our OVA, episode thirteen, Chika and Giana share some of their past in the world of reading and writing fanfiction after Hanzawa makes a lovely point about enjoying what you like at any age. Kagiura and Hirano’s relationship is SO interesting to say the very least. There’s so many cute cat shenanigans throughout this OVA! Grab your spoon, and let’s dig in!

Amanda reminisces about how they would tiptoe around communicating their feelings to a crush back when they were Miyano’s age.

In episode eight, Miyano’s realization of his feelings is peak Floats Your Boat. Chika is Banana Split about the scene wherein Miyano realizes his feelings due to some less than ideal circumstances. Carola almost threw her laptop due to the tension buildup between Sasaki and Miyano in this episode! In episode nine, everyone rooted so hard for a kiss that didn’t happen.
