Aww, it turns out, Nagisa is the one that gave Junta a birthday present in one of the cutest ways possible. Sure, no one else really remembered his birthday but Nagisa is the one that really mattered.

On the other hand, it was great to see all the supporting cast again and especially Nagisa's sister Akina. I think they have an underrated but charming relationship. Such a cute episode finale.

It's nice that they actually use DIALOGUE+'s ED as the final episode's opening theme, it really elevates the anime to another level.

Everyday is the norm for Shiraishi, and Kubo asks him if he believes in fortune telling or psychology tests, she's just looking to get a reaction out of him. No matter it's being chased by a bear shouting the Yodel for help or choosing the number of flowers blooming that'll determine the amount of people he'll date in his lifetime, he's not optimistic at all. But, to the number of kittens playing that would determine how many children they want to have, both of them ended up speechless and going back home in embarrassment. Kubo having sisterly bonding time with Akina over coffee, it's clear that she's influenced by Shiraishi, about what will she wear and her ponytail hair that Akina helped tie up to meet him. Being the sister that always follows and imitates after her, now that she's forging her own path, she can be herself.

It's Shiraishi's birthday on April 25th, but no one gives a heck since he's not much of a main character, but Kubo does to give the star a Kit-Kat as his birthday present. But the chocolate isn't the only thing that she prepared for him: underneath his desk is an actual present, of a snowy plushie mascot. More than Kubo's birthday on Aug 2nd to come, most importantly, they can celebrate his birthday next year. For now, he's over the moon because Kubo rememebred his birthday, but has to hide his smile of a face.

Shiraishi's on his usual role of getting unnoticed, but that's because he and Tama went to the same junior high to go on in the same fashion, so she gives him attention of her own as a way of her intrigue of interest to peek at his invisible behaviour. And the opportunity she got is when their class is changing seats, and this gives Kubo the incentive to sit beside Shiraishi at the back of the class, which he freaks out because she's the first to notice him...and that was the start of the whole rom-com teasing game of not letting him be invisible, the sense of superiority that only Kubo had.

A rather nice rom-com that sadly while lost quite the audience due to COVID last season, it's still sweet as diabetes.

Well sadly this has come to an end it was a nice anime to watch and i really enjoyed the interactions between Shirashi and Kubo i hope this anime will have another season at some point.
The episode really focused on Kubo's feelings something she doesn't seem to realise herself and she even learned to drink coffee because of Shiraishi.
It was also nice to see her sister happy with how she is changing, sisterly love is a nice thing.

I think this is the first time I've seen the ED with visuals and all (not playing while something is happening) used instead of the OP.
This was a really enjoyable and sweet anime. I loved seeing It unfortunately lost a lot of tracktion because of the delay, but during it I heard that the manga will be ending soon so I binged it and it was really good too.
9/10
And next season we have Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta (The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses) to keep our rom-com induced diabetes going!

The finale episode was quite cute, with Nagisa giving Junta a birthday present in a very adorable way, and as usual, she's the only one who remembers stuff about him. Akina having her moments with Nagisa was great too, as we got to see a bit of their sisterly bond, and Akina was probably my favourite character from this show. There was also a bit of a flashback back to before Nagisa met Shiraishi, turns out she was very intrigued by this "invisible" guy for quite a while.

All in all, a solid romcom with a likeable cast and some good comedy, although some of it did get a bit repetitive. Progression was rather minimal, but I still had a fun time watching it, and would be happy to see a sequel.

7/10.

A decent little finale to what has been a fine but definitely forgettable show in the long run. Had some pretty solid moments in there but was a bit too vanilla and repetitive for me to truly get into, and wasn't the craziest about Shiraishi's gimmick in this series. He did have some good interactions sometimes with Kubo and I do like the supporting characters in this series too, whether it is with Shiraishi's adorable little brother or with Kubo's other family members involved here so that did help a bit too. I do like this a lot more than series like Tonikaku Kawaii, Takagi-san and company so that's at least something I can take from this, although I have definitely seen much better showings this season for romance/slice of life series than this. Probably a 5/10 for me overall.

While routine can be a calm and stable existance a little excitement can really work wonders sometimes. The psy questions though was pretty fun. Having someone other than your family celebrate your birthday with you was a nice surprise for Junta. The manner of how Nagisa become aware of Junta though was damm amusing as was the manner of their first meeting. Overall a pretty fun finale that managed to end the series on a high note by showing how the two actually ended up meeting. It woule be nice to see another season for this series.

i loved how they use the ed theme song for the op of the show!

it's quite good choose to make the last eps to just flashback or i can say, throwback to the day how they get close each other. by that mean, i hope there's a second season of this series. i want to see they're「告白」and going out each other. but if it the end of the entire anime series, it's still oke for me just like this. but still, i really want to see they're going out together (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

can't wait for the next announcement of their second season! for now, thanks! thanks for still continuing it until the end. after the whole situation and break for the whole month!

Even per the wish fulfilling standards, this show lands somewhere down the bottom. You can blame this boring rock for that and the one stupidly repetitive, "I'm invisible", joke. I mean you expect them to give up on it after a certain time but as if they did.

Leaving that aside, why is there a girl who likes him, to the point of going on dates and heck even gifting birthday presents... just because he exists and breathes???? I mean yes that's the only thing he does, right?

Fuck man, he still doesn't realize why ONLY Kubo can see him. Forgettable series, hope we never get a second season.

Aw really cute ending this episode and season off with why Kubo likes Shiraishi. I felt like that was something the show had been missing and that did it for me. Overall, this was a really cute show that just made Tuesday afternoons so much brighter. I’ll miss it for sure.

I don’t have it at higher than an 8 mainly because it felt like an inferior Takagi-San. While the episodes were really sweet and wholesome, they weren’t quite as fun as Takagi if that makes sense. The interactions between Kubo and Shiraishi were great though and I think this is a must watch for fans of the teasing girl trope. I do hope we get a second season which builds on this first one.

In case you didn't see it yet, this episode impressively explained again why Kubo enjoying Shiraishi so much. In a sense you could say she took many of his first times. My man got that invisible rizz.

I will miss this comfy af romance with chibi faces. 7/10 until we get a second season

This was a good romcom and I liked the background on how Nagisa got interested in Junta, although to be honest the reasoning for her being interested in him was kind of weak. Regardless, their interactions were mostly entertaining and I did like the teasing that Nagisa received from her older sister. Other good side characters include Seita (a good unassuming wing-man lol), and even Nagisa's cousin Saki was cool.

The character designs, artwork, and animation were good but the storyline did drag a bit with the constant teasing and slow progression. I would still watch a second season if one is announced since I would expect more progression. Overall I give this a 7/10.

This was a really peaceful ending for the end of the season! That psychological test was pretty fun, it kinda shows what they'd want in the future without their full knowledge lol. I still wonder why Shiraishi's so hard to spot and why Nagisa's the only one who can clearly see him, but tbh it might be for the best right now. They deserve each other, whether they're friends or something closer!

  1. Chapter 46 (Psychological Tests and Deep Psyche) is the first on the list, and it's a pretty decent adaptation. Wonderful job on the part of the background artists, which gave the classroom a soft, warm feel to it. The vignette was a slightly predictable one, but certainly sweet. It also marked the second time in this series that one of Kubo's little schemes backfired and left her a bit embarrassed by the end.
  2. Chapter 45 (Coffee and Independent Sister) is up next, and it certainly feels suitable for the first season finale, as it dives into the sisterly bond between the Kubo sisters in a way that no previous episode had done before.

    1. Throughout the series, Akina has been known to tease Nagisa about her developing feelings for Shiraishi, but here she gets an earnest moment of reflection. She becomes emotional over the personal growth that she has witnessed on her younger sibling and comes to terms with the fact that Nagisa will someday grow into an independent lady with a life of her own.
    2. This segment also makes for a nice follow up on the events depicted in episode 11, as we get a flashback to Akana helping Nagisa prepare for the movie date.
    3. Fittingly enough for the finale, we get to see Nagisa for once turn the tables on Akina, as she gets the better of her older sister during her emotional spiel. As a bonus for manga fans, this little story actually marks the beginning of a continual plot thread in manga, one that gives us some of the best moments of the supporting cast.


  3. Speaking of continual plot threads, the next chapter in this list (Chapter 47: Starring Role and Gift) ALSO marks the beginning of another plot thread in the manga. I won't spoil it, but it's a pretty sweet one.

    1. Anyway, on to the adaptation itself, it works perfectly fine. Calling back to the third episode of the series, Kubo uses the knowledge she acquired from Shiraishi's ID Card in order to throw a surprise mini-Birthday party for Shiraishi.
    2. In another nice reference to a previous episode (this time Episode 6), Kubo gifts Shiraishi a cute little axolotl plushie, the very same one that Shiraishi accidentally texted to her when he was home sick.  Keen viewers would have noticed that this very plushie has been appearing at the beginning of every episode, hiding in plain sight during the Cat-and-Mouse cosplay part on the show’s OP.


  4. But just like the anime, we have saved the best for last: Chapter 44, fittingly titled Shiraishi Junta. After a fairly comedic (and anime exclusive) sequence where Shiraishi just strolls past a number of people looking for him - a sequence that for once actually sees him relish in his invisibility - he stops to ponder just why Kubo is the only one that can always spot him. Cue a jump cut to Kubo watching him from a nearby window, where she begins to retell the audience the events that led her to take an interest in our invisible protagonist.

    1. Mirroring the very first frame of the series, Kubo explains that the spark that lit the metaphorical fire of her love began when she saw Shiraishi's photoshopped picture in Tama's middle school yearbook. At first, her interest was merely driven by a desire to know the guy a bit more. She found herself amused by his absurd dilemma, and by the fact that it was hard to tell just what he felt at any given moment.
    2. Yet, it wouldn't presumably be until the beginning of the second semester of school that she finally had the chance to speak to him. She attempts to strike a casual conversation with him, much to Shiraishi's surprise, who considers the whole affair to be a fluke of sorts.
    3. His cute, but awkward first conversation with Kubo leaves the girl smitten with his dorky, but amiable personality, which she regarded with much interest after only having seen his fairly emotionless side for the better part of the school year.
    4. Kubo concludes that the more she learned about him, his interests and his brotherly qualities, the more she couldn't keep her eyes off him, until at some point, her feelings of curiosity became romantic ones.


  5. Overall, this was such a wonderful finale to the series, one that simultaneously feels conclusive while also setting up plenty of plot threads that are begging to be addressed in a second season. Fans of Kubo will not be disappointed by this one.

Showing how Kubo originally got interested in Shiraishi and how they first met was a good choice for the final episode, I guess it must be a genetic thing with how she’s able to spot him easily and no one else can lol. But one thing is certain tho, and it’s that Kubo has been a great influence on Shiraishi since they first met and I don’t think that’s stopping anytime soon, except for us since the show is over lol.

The other bits in this episode were nice, Shiraishi having his birthday celebrated by someone for the first time was really nice, as well as the two of them doing those psychological tests and Kubo’s moment with Akina regarding coffee, they were all good ones and fitting for the final episode, maybe when Kubo pops out all those kids she supposedly wants she’ll appreciate black coffee lol.

But man, I really hate to see this one go, it was a really sweet show. The delay really sucked but I really enjoyed this watch through both winter and spring, ever since I saw Shikimori I’m finding myself liking these SoLs with near supernatural aspects, they usually make for some unique bits you don’t get in other shows like it and this one proved that once again, it really is a sad thing how Shiraishi can only be seen by Kubo but it made for some hilarious and wholesome bits as well. And I’m also really upset I won’t be able to hear this amazing DIALOGUE+ ED anymore, it was cool to see it used as the OP in this final episode as well, the OP was also a very good one. This is one I’d really like to see get another season, I felt the side characters were a bit underused so maybe we could get more focus on them in another season.

Another good romcom anime has finally concluded after half a year, that was a tough time but this show really gave me diabetes. Thank you for giving us a batch of fluffy moments, Shirashi and Kubo-san.

By the way, is it intentional that the episode finale decided to use ED as opening sequence and OP as ending sequence this time?

ahh yes, one of the most diabetes-inducing shows finally comes to an end, very sweet show with tons of wholesome moments. can't really ask for more.
kubo's backstory on how she became aware of kuroko shiraishi, she's always had her sights on him. nice exchange between kubo and her sister as well.
"see you tomorrow" at the end hits different, hope we get a second season. can't decide whether to give this a 7 or an 8 so i'll just go for a 7.5/10, good stuff.

I don't think I will ever like a similar plot set up, as much as I like Takagi-san, the obvious inspiration for this work. In fact, I got "this is popular, why don't I do literally the same thing, but with different skins?", the Isekai way.

A lot more nuance and a better wholesome dynamic in the Takagi/Nishikata relationship. The payoff is better. Shiraishi gives me "blank canvas" vibes, far more easier to self insert into him, the stoic unemotional character, rather than the reactionary and abashed Nishikata. Kubo is also a lot more daring than Takagi, at least in the beginning, for better or for worse. The Family dynamic in Kubo-san was a welcome presence though.

The pacing and development is a bit quicker in this version, which will certainly attract some people, who want things to speed up a little bit.

Nevertheless, I am a sucker for this certain set up, and it does stand on it's own well enough. 7/10.

The way they reversed the OP and ED theme's use was just lowkey perfect.
The episode used chapters 44-46 and 52 of the manga, which is less than half the total chapters.

It was nice to see some developments to their relationships, between them and with some of their families. It is also fun to see, Kubo initially thought of her being the only one who can spot Shiraishi quickly and easily is a sense of superiority. I also lol'ed when I read it in the manga. Well she probably did not expect it to develop into something more.

All in all, after that awful delay its production went through, the anime is finally done. It is supposedly a very iyashikei feeling romcom. I had fun reading the manga and the anime is no slouch in comparison. I wish it was did not suffer a delayed production so it could've had its own time in the spotlight but stuff happened but it did not suffer any loss of quality.
To me Kubo-san's story was short but somehow one I would remember, and I am glad to have followed its story both in manga and anime form.

I personally don't think this will get a new season given the circumstances of what happened and with the manga already concluded for a couple of months now, but we'll never know. But I recommend everyone to read the manga now.
