Episode 6 is expected to spotlight Nana, who felt left out when the group recalled a past Mount Takao trip she hadn’t joined. Shinon comforted her, promising many new memories ahead. The episode will likely focus on the club’s efforts to make Nana feel included, possibly through another food-themed outing.
As Nana gradually opens up, her unique dynamic with each member may be explored, revealing her growth. The club’s contrasting personalities—introverts Nana and Mako, extrovert Shinon, easygoing Tsutsuji, and mature Kurea—will continue to create heartfelt and humorous moments, deepening their bond through shared meals and personal connections.
