Surprisingly, the show seems to have decided to release two romantic-themed plots in two consecutive episodes. Last time, we learned more about the fact that Nick and Moi’s relationship couldn’t make real progress, so it’s time for us to get along with the latest potential couples from Nemu and Keigo. Like the central pairing in the previous episode, this thing made us realize what kind of emotional hooks are about Nemo and Keego’s way of being aware of them that they might be getting along with each other. While we don’t have the crazy twists and turns like Nico, we accidentally curse Morihito to divide her into friendship for years, the emotional shock here is just as effective.
When Morihito, Kanshi and Miharu manage to protect Nico from some local gangsters, Keigo starts to feel that he is not for the fight, because only the wolf is useful in the fight, and he is just an ordinary person. Meanwhile, Nemu is still working to uphold her promise to Wolf, allowing him to run occasionally, but seems to have realized that Keigo is aware of Keigo enough to hang out with the gang in human form, so she defaults to dragging to Cat Mode. Having just learned about Nico’s obsession with Morihito (it’s so obvious, even though Nico points out how bad Nemu has to be in romance if Nemu isn’t in love), she decides to avoid relying on him for their friendship and decides to let Keigo try to get Keigo to pamper her. But Keigo pampers the awkwardness compared to Morihito’s tender hands and Wolf’s rock-fixed abs, which only got worse when everyone started talking about how talented the witch Nemu should be. Of course, Keigo understands well how easy it is to not meet other people’s expectations, and although others just assume he’s complaining, Nemu is beginning to realize the similarity between the two of them.
Seeing how painful Keigo felt and feeling that he wasn’t enough, Nico decided to give him the power to fly by giving him a charming ring. Despite his best efforts, he managed to master the spell, but Nemu tried to give him some instructions while the two of them expected too much from them in their shared history. For Keigo, we see him trained while still a skater to be an Olympic-level athlete, and failing to meet those expectations even though he is no longer his road life, making him very negative about himself and feel like he is not doing enough because Nico will be worse. At the end of Nemu, we learn that she was raised by her mother to avoid being emotionally irritated in front of others, and that trying to get others into trouble is a sign of weakness. Given our knowledge of how emotional distress can turn a witch into a warlock may be well-intentioned (especially considering Nemu’s mom starts suffocating her after giving her speech), this doesn’t have the lasting effect of the harm that lasts it. Even though Nemu reached a point where she felt she could trust Keigo enough to let him know the truth about the cat transformation spell, she couldn’t make herself feel vulnerable to another person and her needs were always dignified, and in the long run, she just hurt her. Nemu and Keigo are both very serious in their emotional connection. It is also easy to see these problems prevent them from thinking better about themselves, not to mention thinking about each other when we see them start to learn these negative habits.
Thankfully, we also see some hints that one another might help them get rid of these concerns. When Nemu is a little overwhelmed by childhood memories, she begins to lose control of the flying spell, and Keigo has to wield his body to save her. Doing so can help Keigo find a way to use a spell that gets along well with his experience as a skater and make him start to feel like he has contributed some after all. Being rescued like this also made Nemu start to take Keigo seriously, and when I say “broken,” I mean doing a comprehensive Disney musical in her mind, because she imagines herself as an exquisite princess, floating in the wind and then being swept by the new prince. It made me rush to any other gag that has been drawn so far’, which made me laugh, the highest extra cherry was seeing Nemu get so plagued by this delusion that she didn’t notice turning Keigo into Wolf.
Between Nemu’s willingness to reveal her secrets and how disappointed he feels about his existence, Wolf could easily put two and two here, but for the moment, he doesn’t seem to be going to get Keigo and Nemu closer. Still, Keigo’s idea somehow enters a triangle of love, his romantic rival himself is a very spicy prospect while solving his biggest problem, so it would be fun to see the show’s tendency to come in. For now, the episode ends with Cat Nemu completely comfortably with Keigo, who decides to make her cat a secret. Although the decision to keep her secret is a bit frustrating, Ekeigo Eseigo still shows her vulnerability and sounds weird, it is indeed the most romantic moment of the whole episode. If there are still anyone who pairs with these two, it’s hard not to exist after all, and given how deep their personal problems are, they may be more interesting than our main couple. Very happy to see Witch watch As with all other romantic stages in solving romance, while there is still a long way to go with being a couple of these two, I may still be giving these two awkward kids a physical exercise.
