The fifth episode of the series, aired on February 4, 2025, showcased emotional moments, especially between the lead characters昴 (Ren Nagase) andまどか (Mizuki Yamashita).
This episode highlighted昴's determination to prove his commitment as he risked his safety during a fire to retrieveまどか's cherished mini-tomato plant. Their relationship, which developed against the backdrop of their contrasting upbringings, faced its first real test as昴 stepped back from his high-society lifestyle to focus on what truly mattered.
During one notable scene at the office,昴 makes light ofまどか's lunch filled with mini-tomatoes, questioning how she never grows tired of them.まどか responds with heartfelt nostalgia, explaining how they remind her of home. "実家で作ってたミニトマトの種から育てたんです。だからどこか家族を感じるっていうか、懐かしい味がしてと" ("I grew these mini-tomatoes from seeds my family cultivated. They carry the taste and feeling of home, they’re nostalgic for me.").
When معلومات (information) reachesまどか about the fire at their dormitory and昴's return for her plant, she rushes to confirm his safety. Upon seeing him, she expresses relief with the heartfelt line, "よかった。無事だったんですね" ("I'm glad. You're safe.").昴 reassures her, stating, "There’s no way I could die when I have promises to keep with you," showing just how invested he is.[1]
After the fire, it becomes evident the arson's cause complicates matters, resulting inまどか being offered to stay with昴's family at their luxurious home for the time being. While昴 is excited about this arrangement,まどか struggles with the glaring differences between their worlds. She is reminded of the societal gap each time she enters his extravagant family home.
Audience reactions to these interactions have been overwhelmingly positive, shimmering with phrases like, "キュンとする" ("so cute"), and "理想のヒーロー" ("ideal hero"), reflecting the affection fans have for昴's character. Many viewers took to social media expressing gratitude for the show's emotional depth, with comments such as "とんでもなく良い男" ("an incredibly good man") flooding the airwaves.
The series continues to build tension and humor by portraying awkward yet endearing moments of coexistence as both characters adjust to their newfound relationship dynamics. One particularly humorous moment occurs whenまどか gets anxious at the sight of the expensive gifts昴 receives, leading her to hide her more modest present. Yet, it leads to surprise when昴 actually mentions her during his birthday event, providing her with the spotlight she has been craving.
