It's always the little things that get to me. Like Yutaka trying to downplay his abilities and Minoru not letting him... or the immediate followup of Yutaka reaching out to comfort Minoru.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then Yutaka is an absolute baby and he knows what's important and that's enjoying food, not eating the best food or the perfect food... it's about being able to enjoy and love what you eat and who you eat with. @absolutebl This show is the single most healing show ever.
Tumblr media
And then they drop the honorific and talk about it and Yutaka is the most painfully adorable and lonely man ever. The eighteen levels of awkward just trying to say his name without the honorific? So casually? My entire heart.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I am healed in every way. There is nothing more healing than this show. I am completely undone. Just look at them and their tiny family and what they're finding in each other.

Yutaka and Yukata
*deep inhale* 
YOU KNOW WHAT I WILL MAKE A POST ABOUT THIS DESPITE OUR DINING TABLE ENDING LAST WEEK! 
Why? Because I have been personally victimized by Ueda-san’s photo album and I want everyone to know about it! 
I mentioned it once in passing on my blog last week, but I’m gonna talk about it again because like many things in this show, one brief moment radically alters how deep the emotional wounds cut. This is not my typical analysis, this is mostly just be screaming in to the void!
“W-K-A, what the fuck are you talking about?” you ask. 
“This!” I reply
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Here! Have just a fraction of the instances that Yutaka is called ‘Yukata’ instead!” 
“Now, W-K-A,” you sigh. “That's because Tane is young and just messes up his name. You don’t even know Japanese, so you can’t wax poetic about the name meanings and their significance. Surely, there can’t possibly be anything contained within this show to make Yutaka’s nick-name hurt more. It’s just a silly little gag! You’re over-reacting, you’re reading too much in to it,” 
Now, on claims of overreacting, I will one hundred percent agree. But like I said at the beginning this show has ways of making the smallest frames, the most off-handed comments, the flashbacks pack a punch. And well, dear readers, this? This shit ruined me:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Devastation to the highest degree in these three translated words. Mika in yutaka. Like????????????????????????
Hello??????????????????????????????
You’re really gonna make me sit here, knowing that the only captured memories we see clearly depicted in that photo album of a one most precious and beloved wife and mother is her wearing yukata????????????????????????????????
When Tane literally only ever calls his new best friend Yukata???????????????????????????????????????????????
And you just expect me to sit with that?! You expect me NOT to read into that?
I cannot describe to you how strong of a blow I took, when I saw this moment on screen last week. This sudden realization that Koji probably spends a lot of time looking over these books. That Minoru and his father spend time making sure that Tane gets to know his mother, through the meals they make together, by having him say goodbye to her in the mornings, by having him share presents with her. 
I don’t know, y’all I’m just thinking about where and how Tane learned the word Yukata, and who and what he associates yukata with. 
And you know, this all would have ended there. With me saying that I was emo about Mika and Yutaka and yukata, BUT I PLAYED MYSELF, because I was going back through episodes to take screenshots for my examples, when I found THIS!
Tumblr media
In like…episode 2? 3? Something way early on and, I should not have done this to myself because I saw this frame and all I could think about was the way this mirrors the scene we get in Episode 7, when Yutaka tells Minoru his backstory.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyway, this show is perfection and I’m going to go take a long walk off a short cliff about it. 
Thank you for your time.

If I wasn't already a pile of goo this would have melted me. And Hozumi is just the tiniest, most sweet man and the way he rings his hands together every time he's reminded of his family... destroyed. Utterly destroyed by the boy who's never felt comfortable eating in front of people and the tiny family that is gonna take him in and teach him to love himself and to share food. @absolutebl I instantly see why you love this and I am here for it.

It's the joy they bring each other, the way they make each other smile just by being themselves, by just being together
Tumblr media
Sharing food is such a powerful love language and each time Yutaka makes food for them he's creating a new memory, stronger than the old one, of joy and family and love and eating together.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then the sun comes out and brightens everything and I die of joy. @absolutebl This show is getting everything right. Every beat. Destroyed. They're so sweet and tiny and each moment hits just right
Tumblr media
My entire heart.

It's the way Yutaka looks at Minoru and the way Minoru is startled but mostly dismayed that he's getting compared to Tane and then Yutaka has no idea what to do with his hands.
(They've already found a home in each other, someone who sees them as more than the faults so easily found in themselves, and they're already so soft and so happy to be together, so happy to offer comfort and gentle touches.)

The difference one episode has made on their goodbyes and on Yutaka's attempts to fall asleep... the power of adorable compels us all. @absolutebl I am losing my mind over this softness.

Watching Yutaka slowly overcome all his foodbased trauma by eating with Minoru and Tane is the most healing thing in the world. He's so apprehensive around food and everyone else and he has all these memories of food that center on pain and loneliness and isolation and finding better memories in food is letting him ask for help and look for support and come out of his shell.
Food is best when you can share and food is best when you're enjoying the company and the smile it brings to his face when Yukata not just realizes what he can make but also that he can share this with more people, that the joy he is discovering now is just getting bigger... His smiles just keep growing.
(But so do Minoru's and Minoru is finding that same comfort, that same joy, what it means to share food and meals with someone who cares and who you care for in return, someone who you just want to be with all the time.)

Just the way both Minoru and Yutaka reflect back on what the other person said to them at the end of the day and take so much comfort and joy from those little memories, those little moments, Yutaka rolling on his bed and smiling ear to ear while Minoru contemplates a memory is so healing and so sweet and shows so much about them, the way Yutaka seems more serious and older but is really just as silly and sweet while Minoru seems more goofy and lighthearted but holds so many memories so precious and delicate.

The anxiety of eating in front of someone when you've been judged for eating... and then the smile and then the family, a whole family, eating together without judgement.
