"Grateful for the Kiss Sounds": Fans Driven Wild by the Yukata Heroines' Pranks in "You Can't Be In a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends!" Episode 8

Episode 8 of the anime "You Can't Be In a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends!"  began airing on February 23. A scene featuring two heroines in yukatas stealing a kiss from the sleeping protagonist has fans buzzing, with comments like "Blessed by the kiss sounds" and "Romcoms are the best!"

In Episode 8, "If We Keep Running, the Fireworks Will End, and Because It’s Precious, It Won’t Be a Romcom," Shio Minamo (CV: Rin Kusumi), Akari Hiodoshi (CV: Yu Serizawa), and Yonosuke Sakai (CV: Takehiro Urao) held their own private fireworks session after the main festival ended. However, perhaps due to exhaustion, Yonosuke ended up falling asleep on a bench and started snoring.

Then, Shio suggested, "Akarin, should we pull a little prank?" and Akari agreed with a smirk, "Let's do it." After both of them kissed the sleeping Yonosuke on his cheeks from both sides, they burst into giggles, saying, "Oh my god, I can't believe we just did that!" and "What are we even doing?!"

Viewers were left spellbound by the adorable antics of the yukata-clad heroines. The scene sparked a wave of excitement online, with fans commenting, "Blessed by the kiss sounds," "Romcoms are the peak of entertainment!" and "This guy is way too lucky, seriously!"
