guessing at which chapters will appear at which episodes…. it looks like things get kind of messy after kisa’s chapter lmao. this isn’t what i think the order will be, but rather just showing what it would (probably) look like if they were to go straight through:
episode 13 - ch 21, 22 [ayame intro] episode 14 - ch 23 [momiji backstory] episode 15 - ch 24 [the grave] episode 16 - ch 25, 26 [lakehouse vacation] episode 17 - ch 27, 28 [kisa intro] episode 18 - ch 29, 30 [yuki fan club goes to hana’s, tohru gets sick. might be split? i have no idea where they would stick the hana chapter tbqh] episode 19 - ch 31, 32 [beginning of true form] episode 20 - ch 33, 34 [end of true form, kazuma leaves] episode 21 - ch 35, 36 [yuki post-true form, ayame’s shop] episode 22 - ch 37, 38 [hiro intro] episode 23 - ch 39, 40, 41 [swimsuit shopping, uo’s backstory - might be split, probably wouldn’t put three chapters in one ep] episode 24 - ch 42, 43 [minagawa backstory, rin breaks up with haru] episode 25 - ch 44, 45 [ritsu intro] episode 26 - ch 46, 47 [career goal/future talk, ayame returns] episode 27 - ch 48 [summer starts, rin intro – end of vol 8]
so like……..kind of a mess? also considering the season may only have 24 eps, though possibly 26.
i’m torn on whether they’re going to shift a bunch of things before the true form chapters so they can end the season on that, or if they’re going to shift things out to end it with introducing rin. from a storytelling standpoint, considering we’re getting more than one season…. i’m going with ending on rin.
while ending on the true form chapters seems natural, i think it’s too finalizing. chapter 48, though, isn’t finalizing in the way that the true form chapters are – it’s a cliffhanger for things to come. it leaves us little mysteries to dwell on until season 2.
so i don’t know! i’m interested to see how they keep shifting things around. so far, we’ve seen this in teeny doses (like chapter 8 being in episode 3), but i think some point soon we’re going to be seeing some bigger shifts.
