The long-awaited movie adaptation of Shiraishis favorite manga is finally out.
When Kubo learns this, she doesnt hesitate.
She liked the manga when he lent it to her.
Kubo makes sure shes looking her absolute cutest, with a ponytail and carefully selected outfit for their date.
Shiraishi tries his hardest to avoid physical contact, but Kubo doesnt mind.
Shes exactly where she wants to be.
When Shiraishi reports hell be ordering coffee, Kubo is impressed with such an adult choice.
That thoughtfulness and attention to detail is a big reason why Kubo likes Shiraishi.
And that boy makes what, for him, are pretty expressive faces during the move.
As was the plan all along, Shiraishi walks Kubo home.
She asks him if he had fun.
She says she had fun too, and so they should hang out again.
Hes game, and they seal it with a pinky promise.
Before bidding each other goodnight, Kubo says Shiraishis face was a lot more animated by his standards.
She also mentions that despite usually having the same neutral expression, she finds him easy to read.
This episode didnt break any new ground, but checked all those boxes with solid execution.
It seems like hes finally catching on.
