Sasaki to Miyano's latest episode has given us some much-needed hope for the future of the relationship between our favorite pair. The previous episode of the series featured protagonist Miyano receiving a heartfelt confession from his high school senpai, Sasaki. Miyano, surprised at this confession, has not yet answered in return. This week's episode shows our shy Mya-chan considering the possibility of being with Sasaki!
The latest episode of Sasaki to Miyano began with Mya-chan heading to school on the train while Sasaki senpai entered the compartment. On the train, Miyano asks Sasaki if he's started waking up early lately, to which the latter says he likes meeting him before school. Later, Miyano hangs out with his friends Kuresawa and Tashiro at school, while Kuresawa reminds him that Sasaki is celebrating his birthday the next day.
Kuresawa then asks Miyano if he plans to give him a present, while the latter thinks he should give his senpai a gift without answering his confession. Kuresawa and Tashiro talk about the former's girlfriend and his relationship with her. Tashiro gives the two of them a lollipop, reminding Miyano of how much Sasaki likes them. The next day Miyano runs into Sasaki on the train again.
Sasaki tells him that he's preparing for a test while Miyano hands him a lollipop. Sasaki is surprised and mentions how he didn't think Miyano liked them. Mya-chan then tells Sasaki that he bought it as a birthday present and wishes him a happy birthday! When Sasaki smiles upon receiving the present, Miyano remembers Kuresawa's words about his girlfriend and how he fell for her smile. Miyano begins to think about how cute Sasaki looks but then represses the thought and tells himself that Sasaki is his "cool" senpai and not a cute boy.
Miyano continues to ponder over how he feels about Sasaki and finally decides to give him some clarity even though he doesn't have any himself. By the end of the episode, Miyano tells Sasaki that even though he likes BL manga, he never considered it a possibility for his own life. He also tells him that he has only ever liked a girl and doesn't know how he feels about the confession.
However, as he says the words, Miyano begins to think about his time with Sasaki and realizes that whatever he feels for his senpai is more than friendship. He then tells Sasaki that he wants to take some more time to think about his feelings. Even though Miyano does not give Sasaki an answer, the latter is extremely happy that his kohai is considering the future of their relationship. He then thanks Mya-chan for thinking about it, and the episode ends on a wholesome note, as usual!
