More Nervous Than Chiikawa Himself? Hachiware Prays for His Friend's Exam Success, with Praise and Acclaim in Anime "Chiikawa" Episode 108

In anime "Chiikawa" episode 108, Chiikawa (CV. Haruka Aoki) is depicted taking the "Weeding Test Grade 5," while Hachiware (CV. Makoto Tanaka) stays up at night, worried and hoping for Chiikawa's success.

Chiikawa and Hachiware are drawing on the ground with stones, with Hachiware in his usual high spirits, but Chiikawa has a somber expression. He is distracted by thoughts of failing the test and feeling down, or succeeding and being happy, and can't focus on drawing. Whether he passes or fails, Chiikawa wants to eat ramen with Hachiware, prompting Hachiware to quickly grasp the situation and say, "Yeah! Let's go and have ramen!!" Chiikawa's expression relaxes, feeling relieved.

The scene shifts to Hachiware at home trying to sleep. "Tomorrow's the day, the weeding test results," he thinks, "Even though it's not me... my heart is pounding," and prays for his friend's success, "I hope he passes..."

This scene attracted many voices of appreciation for Hachiware, such as "Really, Hachiware-san is so kind," and admiration for his caring attitude, "Hachiware has a remarkable ability to empathize with others." Some also joined in the sentiment, saying, "I also pray for Chiikawa's success with Hachiware," and "I hope Chiikawa passes."
