Hello folks, and welcome the heck back to Wrong Every Time. Today I\u2019m eager to stop back in with Mitsumi and the gang from Skip and Loafer, and see what those crazy kids are getting up to now. After half a season of largely warm and fuzzy adventures, last episode saw Mitsumi and Shima experiencing their first genuine fight, which was ultimately a healthy exercise for both of them. I don\u2019t expect massive changes in the wake of this personal reorientation, but I am looking forward to seeing them navigate this new level of comfort in expressing their feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you never fight with someone, it generally means not that you agree on everything, but that you simply don\u2019t care enough about changing their opinion or behavior to challenge them on it. It is easy to be indifferent to the opinions of a stranger or acquaintance (well, unless you\u2019re Larry David), but if you genuinely care about someone, there will undoubtedly be times when you question their wisdom. It is only because Shima has grown to value Mitsumi\u2019s feelings that he was hurt by her challenging him – a key shift for the boy who responded to premature fame by retreating from investment in the world altogether. And with Shima\u2019s confession of concern stoking some of those dangerously fuzzy feelings in Mitsumi, I\u2019m looking forward to the shoe being on the other foot, and Shima poking Mitsumi in some particularly ticklish emotions. Let\u2019s get to it!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 7<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We open with final exams behind us, in the heat of July. Mitsumi\u2019s regular messages home are a convenient device for setting the stage of each episode, particularly since this story is prone to such regular time skips<\/span><\/p>\n

I like the diversity of approaches to their outfits as we pan around the classroom. They\u2019re all technically still in school uniforms, but some have unbuttoned their shirts, dispensed with their overshirts entirely, or are otherwise loosening their uniforms in response to the summer heat. Skip and Loafer is generally very good about emphasizing how clothes fall on its characters – it\u2019s not just the clothes we wear, but also how we wear them that convey our personalities<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shima\u2019s school uniform always looks perhaps half a size too big for him, for example, which emphasizes his lackadaisical attitude and preference for comfort over propriety<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitsumi has been appointed student council secretary! She\u2019s doing it! The civil service awaits!<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitsumi\u2019s prior confidant Tokoko Takamine has been elected vice-president, while Hiroto Kazakami has been elected president. A crushing blow for Takamine, and for Mitsumi, who clearly bet on the wrong horse<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure you\u2019re all tired from exams, so I\u2019ll cut my speech short there.\u201d He seems like a more Shima-style people person than the straight-laced Takamine. No matter how hard you work, you won\u2019t rise to the top of an organization like this unless people enjoy being around you<\/span><\/p>\n

Our boy Narumi Kanechika has become the head of the drama club, unsurprisingly. His dress similarly emphasizes his personality – he\u2019s only wearing the school pants, while his shirt is a flamboyant Hawaiian print matching his nature<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn any field, the right-hand man is a crucial position!\u201d Kanechika actually makes a fine speech to console Takamine, but it nonetheless brings her to tears. She\u2019d been holding it together so long as no one addressed her frustrations, but consoling her on her failures is precisely what she doesn\u2019t want right now<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The changing of the student council guard is always treated as such a profound transition in anime. I wonder how much this is actually true for kids in Japan, or just something anime tends to play up in keeping with its general mythologizing of high school. I suppose at least for this show, Mitsumi herself <\/span>would<\/span><\/i> be the kind of person to consider this a grand event, while someone like Shima couldn\u2019t care less<\/span><\/p>\n

We flash back to when the interloper Kazakami first submitted himself as a presidential candidate. As a hot and popular second-year, Mika has of course got all the deets on him<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s popular with the guys because he was in line to be soccer captain, and popular with the girls because he\u2019s hot. Meanwhile, all Takamine has on her side is thankless dedication to the council from behind closed doors. Time to learn some tough life lessons, Mitsumi<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

No matter how qualified you are or how correct your appointment seems, there will be times in life when you find a disjoint in the road ahead, when some denial or missed opportunity or what have you forces you to reassess the path between your current self and the future self you want to be. Considering her ironclad life goals, it\u2019s best Mitsumi learn to adapt early, when the consequences are lighter<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh my god. Takamine plans to present the new president with her precious \u201cthings to do as president\u201d notebook she\u2019s been filling out all throughout high school. Such tragedy<\/span><\/p>\n

They overhear Kazakami revealing the grim truth – that he\u2019s indifferent to the presidency, but knows it will help bolster his resume. The world can often be senseless like this<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also direct democracy generally becomes a popularity contest, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s the particular note we\u2019re emphasizing here<\/span><\/p>\n

A good point to note in general, though! Likely our worst two presidents, Reagan and Trump, were both elected because they were people voters had seen on television<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitsumi says she\u2019s just going to spend day duties studying, so Shima asks to come along<\/span><\/p>\n

Narumi busts in to show them his debut film, from back in the fifth grade. The dude really has no end of confidence, to the extent where he\u2019s even proud of his middle school filmography<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ah, I see. He actually doesn\u2019t have infinite confidence, but he\u2019s attempting to build towards it – this is highly embarrassing for him, but if he can\u2019t embrace the embarrassment of showing his unvarnished self to audiences, he\u2019ll never achieve his theatrical dreams. And of course, he\u2019s also trying to make up for making Takamine cry, by revealing his own shameful failures to make her feel less bad about losing the election<\/span><\/p>\n

God, his early bowl cut is so unflattering. I can see why he made such a dramatic change<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I\u2019m lacking right now is magnanimity and playfulness.\u201d Of course, with Takamine being Takamine, she immediately attempts to spreadsheet the lessons of Narumi\u2019s film<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We cut back in with Mitsumi thinking about summer break, and all the activities she plans to do back home. I\u2019d love to spend some time in her village, though obviously with this show\u2019s premise being \u201cdiligent country girl in the big city,\u201d I doubt we\u2019ll actually cover it<\/span><\/p>\n

As Nao wonders at what sort of character this Shima-kun might be, we see him waving off some other girl at the train stop<\/span><\/p>\n

Shima explains she asked for his contact information, but he declined, something he says he\u2019s \u201cbeen trying to do lately.\u201d That seems like a very Mitsumi-influenced shift; previously he\u2019d likely have just given out his information and ignored any future calls, since it\u2019d be less of a bother, but now he\u2019s more determined to express his actual feelings earnestly and not mislead people, like Mitsumi<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cFriends?\u201d \u201cNope. No idea who they are.\u201d The perils of popularity<\/span><\/p>\n

We are informed that this is the \u201cpre-summer break rush\u201d phase of high school romance, wherein the oncoming threat of not seeing your crush prompts a stampede of confessions, or at least requests for contact information. What a funny little phase of adolescence; you feel a certain sense of assurance that your crush isn\u2019t going anywhere or changing anything during the school year, but who <\/span>knows<\/span><\/i> what mysterious, romantic strangers they might meet over summer break!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you ask someone you barely know for their details, that\u2019s a hundred percent guarantee you can\u2019t just be friends.\u201d There\u2019s no such thing as a casual date in this era – every proposal is climactic and consequential, either resulting in destined love or abject rejection. It\u2019s hard to be a teen<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cMika-chan, do your parents allow sleepovers?\u201d \u201cOh, I guess I\u2019m included in this.\u201d An extremely relatable response from Mika, who is still not accustomed to being considered Mitsumi\u2019s friend<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou wouldn\u2019t think we\u2019d all be in the same friend group.\u201d Mitsumi is an extremely powerful binding agent; she\u2019s sincere enough to wring sincerity out of all her classmates, which makes it much easier for them to lower their shields and come to respect each other<\/span><\/p>\n

Ooh my god, this conversation between Shima and Mitsumi. It\u2019s clear that Shima is politely circling the possibility of them actually sharing a zoo date, but then Mitsumi just goes and blurts out an invitation. Another win for Mitsumi\u2019s mouth racing ahead of her brain<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s usually so tuned into what girls are thinking, but he can\u2019t read my \u2018wait, isn\u2019t this a date?\u2019 aura!?\u201d God Mitsumi. He wants to go on a date with you, he\u2019s just trying hard to keep the conversation light!<\/span><\/p>\n

Very excited about this turn, though. Anime has an infuriating habit of only following romances up to the moment of confession, but active couples are much more interesting<\/span><\/p>\n

But suddenly, a new challenger approaches! It\u2019s Ririka, a girl from Shima\u2019s past! And a magazine model!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Done<\/b><\/p>\n

Oh no, whatever shall we do now!? Actually, I\u2019m pretty confident in what we\u2019ll do: Ririka will attempt to draw Shima back towards her glamorous celebrity lifestyle, Mitsumi will likely assume she\u2019s being a burden all on her own, and Shima will eventually affirm that being next to Mitsumi is right where he wants to be. Granted, this is Skip and Loafer, so I imagine the conversations will largely avoid canned misunderstanding drama, and eventually result in Shima and Mitsumi sharing an even more honest relationship. But enough about that, Mitsumi asked Shima out! And he said yes! We\u2019re off to the races folks, and even the introduction of a new romantic rival feels like an affirmation of just how much our core relationship is heating up. Bring on the zoo date!<\/span><\/p>\n
