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!

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana, Chika, and Carola and Amanda of The Yaoi Shelf review episodes seven through nine of Sasaki & Miyano! In episode seven, Hirano plays the role of fairy godfather to Sasaki by leaving him alone to play cards with Miyano. Amanda reminisces about how they would tiptoe around communicating their feelings to a crush back when they were Miyano’s age. Makimura, Miyano’s middle school crush, does not serve the narrative purpose Giana thought she would. Sasaki’s jealousy rubs everybody the wrong way. 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. Amanda, Carola, and Chika want to visit a delinquent café. Sasaki touching Miyano despite his sickness gives Chika the ick.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana, Chika, and J-idol PAiDA review Sasaki and Miyano: Graduation! The three discuss and analyze not only Sasaki and Miyano’s journey, but the adorable peek we receive about Hirano’s and Kagiura’s relationship. Miyano’s mother learns about her son’s sexuality and her immediate acceptance is extremely heartwarming. Sasaki’s sister, on the other hand, takes a while to come to terms with the shock of learning that her brother is queer. Sasaki and Miyano explore more physicality together, which shows how far they’ve come since their sunset confession. This film is the cherry on top of a beautiful boy’s love series!
