Perfectly in Sync, the Best of Friends! The Heartfelt Bond Between Chiikawa and Hachiware Who Can’t Say Goodbye in "Chiikawa" Episode 120

In episode 120 of the anime "Chiikawa," Chiikawa (voiced by Haruka Aoki) and Hachiware (voiced by Makoto Tanaka), who were supposed to have said “Let’s play again!” and gone their separate ways, end up turning to look at each other at the same time, locking eyes, and then going together to have dinner.

In the first part, Chiikawa and Hachiware are making flower crowns together in a meadow. As evening falls, they say “Let’s play again!” and part ways. Each starts heading home, but at the exact same moment, they both turn around and exclaim, “Ah…” “Ah!!”

Hachiware laughs and says, “We turned around at the exact same time,” then suggests, “Hey, why don’t we have dinner together after all?” Of course, Chiikawa agrees with a smile, saying, “Even though we just said goodbye… somehow this is funny,” and the two start walking home together once again.

Viewers commented on this scene, saying, “They must have had such a great time that neither of them wanted to leave,” and “Turning around at the same time—I've done that before, too.” Fans also spoke about their relationship, saying, “Chiikawa looked so happy when Hachiware invited them to dinner, it was so nice,” and “Hachiware speaking up was wonderful, and it really shows how close they are.”
