In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika, Giana, and Jason Lord, voice actor and ADR director of the English dub of A Sign of Affection, review episodes seven through nine of the show! In episode seven, Itusomi and Yuki are official! Jason discusses the use of watercolors to denote the mixing of their communication styles in profound moments between them. After such a build up of romantic tension, Yuki and Itsuomi finally share a kiss thanks to an adorable miscommunication. In episode eight, Shin’s Keyboard Cat CD from Emma not only makes a big impression on him, but on Chika, Giana, and Jason as well. Itsuomi’s and Yuki’s “almost kiss” causes a lot of fun tension. Shin gets a “placeholder” girlfriend to bury his feelings for Emma. In episode nine, “the gang” goes to sign language bootcamp! Rin and Kyoya have a serious conversation about feelings. And the general consensus is glamping > camping. Get ready for an episode that’s absolutely packed with analysis, emotional commentary, and perhaps even a random musical cue.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika review episodes four through six of A Sign of Affection! In episode four, Yuki, Itsuomi, Rin, and Kyoya go on an adorable, mundane double date. It’s a wonder Kyoya hasn’t picked up on Rin’s very obvious feelings. Itsuomi asserts his place by Yuki’s side when he stands up to Oushi on the street. In episode five, Itsuomi’s string of suave moves take the ladies’ breath away. Kyoya’s emotional distance from Rin sends up a red flag. Rin, as the world’s best wingwoman, sets Yuki and Itsuomi up to continue an important conversation that had been interrupted. Unfortunately, we learn that Yuki’s family has never taken the time to learn sign language, whereas Itsuomi is making a point to learn it for her. In episode six, Itsuomi’s beautiful confession to Yuki in the snow is a shoujo moment for the history books. He also makes sure to clear up any confusion regarding his relationship with Emma. Throughout this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana share a lot of memories, thoughts, and feelings about life, relationships, and some unhinged thoughts!
