Two Yukata Heroines in a Love Battle? Or Not...? Fans React with "What are you even doing lol" to the Tantalizing Banter in Episode 7 of "You Can't Be In a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends!"

The 7th episode of the anime "You Can't Be In a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends!" has been airing since February 16th. Viewers couldn't help but poke fun at the frustratingly cute exchange between the two heroines in yukatas, both wanting a "fireworks date" with the protagonist, with comments like "These girls are so adorable" and "What are they even doing lol."

In Episode 7, "Sharing Girl Talk but Halving the Fun: High on the Festival Spirit, This is No Rom-Com," Shio Minamo (CV: Rin Kusumi) and Akari Hiodoshi (CV: Yu Serizawa) confessed to each other that they both have feelings for their childhood friend, Yonosuke Sakai (CV: Takehiro Urao).

Now rivals in love, both Shio and Akari wanted to enjoy the fireworks display alone with Yonosuke, but neither could muster the courage before the day arrived. In a panic, Shio tried to push Akari forward, saying, "Look! Now's your chance, Akarin!" and "You're closer to him anyway!" However, Akari shot back, "The person who suggested it should go first...!" to which Shio persistently declined, arguing, "No, no! You're older than me, Akarin!"

Watching the two heroines try to hand off the opportunity to each other, viewers were warmed by the scene, commenting, "These girls are so adorable," "What are they even doing lol," and "Stop trying to be so polite lmao."
