*PARENTALLY APPROVED HEADPHONE WARNINGS*

So as the title suggests, we meet Momo's "alleged" first love, Jiji - who makes me long for the days of Aira living her MC fantasy! But also, the title might focus on our sweet Okarun - who works through why he's possibly jealous with Jiji's closeness to Momo...leading to a BIZARRE chase that might have our man Ken realizing...who his first love is as well!

Say what you will about Jiji, he isn't what you expect when you first see him. Yeah, While Aira did spark some jealousy in Momo she is secure enough in herself that it didn't do anything to her self-image, poor Ken on the other hand, what little self esteem he had just went down in flames. Hopefully his inspiration by love struck mannequins will help him move forward... and at least we get one love story where that love is vocalized and expressed. Taro is a man who knows what he wants and goes after it, manufacturing dates be damned. Seiko switched sides to Aira after one nice comment from her, :P so Jiji's constant compliments are sure to "tug at her hearthstrings"... although i wonder if it's more just to mess with Momo, seems to be one of her favourite pastimes.

Ah, yes, Jiji... he really makes an impression, doesn't he? Lol. He definitely doesn't have the personality I thought he would have from his looks and that little teasing introduction on the previous episode. It is fun, though, that the playing field is equaled for both Momo and Okarun. By which I mean, that both of them now have someone to be jealous about. I don't know, it's just funny to me, but in a good way. Something I appreciated a ton, was seeing how the cool, presumably athletic, and charismatic character is the one to mess up the battle and the more awkward, shy, and softer character being the one that is actually super competent and saves the day. Especially seeing as how Jiji goes to "protect" Momo and just ends up being a hindrance; while Okarun trusts, from day one, really, that Momo is capable on her own and just goes in to work alongside her, and they, as we've seen mutltiple times, make a great team together. Yeah, I missed Aira in this episode, as well. She's just so funny, though she certainly doesn't realizes that.

Rant and a warning below about my home state: yes, it’s anime related. Well, it has happened. As a resident of the Lone Star State, our state senate has passed SB 20. https://legiscan.com/TX/text/SB20/id/3171915. Why am I bringing this up here on a reaction to Dandadan? Because if this is made law by Governor hot wheels, I could be arrested and charged with a felony. Now I agree with the spirit of the bill, I do not agree with the vagueness of the wording. As you know, these are minors put in compromising situations and to some non anime enjoyer, may be interpreted as obscene, therefore criminal in nature. I have been on this earth for 56 years and have seen the popularity of anime and manga wax and wain over the years. This bill may be the nail in the coffin to a hobby I take refuge in. It is my escape place and it is mine. If you didn’t know, Texas is the hub of anime content in the US. Crunchyroll is headquartered here in Coppell and before that, Funimation was based in Flower Mound. Now, will this bill even become law? It might! Is it unconstitutional? Yes! But, really, we live in the darkest timeline and , well, that doesn’t seem to make a difference. The danger is that this will be copied by other states as they crack down on AI content that involves CP. ( I do agree with this, but it would be nice to actually have laws that protect and provide for children instead of more hollow inaction) this will hurt the arts, animation, queer representation, anything conservatives don’t like, any expression from any vulnerable groups…. It’s a slippery slope to Fahrenheit 451. Oh! Jiji is a real goof isn’t he! He better not try to kiss Momo or I’ll be heading for the slammer! Oh well, maybe I’ll get free healthcare in there….. I have over 1000 copies of manga I have collected over a lifetime. Some are themselves banned in other countries! I am felon material. On the bright side, Husband, Sister and I will be hitting the streets on Saturday in protest.

I definitely did not expect Jiji to be like he is, that’s for sure! And poor Ken - I feel bad about his self esteem for sure! I also love that Seiko is just here for the compliments - I definitely think she loves messing with her granddaughter! The female Gojo for sure! Thank you for the comment!

Oh WOW, I had no idea that this law had filtered its way through in Texas - with it being where CR is housed, that is WILD and...scary because of how vague it is, like you said. I definitely agree that the slope is Fahrenheit 451 adjacent and needs to be more "specific" to just entail AI and not pieces of manmade art that is clearly NOT CP but something entirely different. *sighs* I feel you on this one...we can only hope that it gets some different teeth or doesn't pass, which is a sad thing to say. But yeah, Jiji is a major goof! I don't blame you for protest! I hope it goes well; you'll have to let us know! Thank you for the comment!

Jiji definitely DOES make an impression!! I was surprised by how he was portrayed in this! but yeah, now Momo and Okarun have their own triangles created that aren't really triangles - I agree, it can work in a good way! And yes, the "jock" character being actually a goofball that's seemingly softer is a fresh change of pace! I really like the dynamic - even as it's making me sit on my hands - that Jiji is bringing to contrast Momo and Okarun. But yeah, I do miss Aira! :P Thank you for the comment!

Since I wrote this comment, Sister and I have been to one protest. Husband sat out as he is Asian and a naturalized citizen. It’s no joke, we are terrified that if he does anything like protest, he may find himself on a list! Sister and I pass as white so we took the hit and protested. And it was sooooooo fun! We had neighbors go with us and there is another national day of protest this weekend on Saturday. So here is the info for anyone…. I know it’s buried in this comment thread, but, you never know! https://www.fiftyfifty.one/ As far as the anime bill, I have called and written to my less than stellar reps. This is going to be wrapped up in the courts for a while I suspect just because of the entertainment industry. It isn’t small and a good chunk is based here! We shall see…. I do have hope, one way to piss off the plebes is to take away what gives them joy in this, the darkest of dark timelines. I can only imagine the anger from Texas citizens. We shall see. I’m looking forward to a peaceful and joyful protest in my part of this country. Just remember, this is not forever.

It really is a scary time in the U.S. - especially in light of people being deported - I am glad you had a good experience protesting, though! It's sad that the "pass as white" is a thing in our country in terms of safety. Thank you for the link! I would like to have faith in the masses on the anime bill and honestly, capitalism speaks for the people proposing it and if it looks to be a bane for the economy in that sense, it sadly may have more power than some think. But yeah, hopefully all goes well and YES - this is not forever. That is the light there in the tunnel. Thank you for the update!
