This fluffy shoujo film follows their journey together from the start of school to the new year where rumors test friendships, rivalries form, and feelings are explored and expressed.

Even The BL Knows - ft. Pearl Low (Sasaki & Miyano Eps 4-6)
Episode 62
Sunday, May 26, 2024 • Duration 01:31:18
In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika, Giana, and Pearl Low, founder of Orange Blossom Studio and the creator of Wheels & Roses, review episodes four through six of Sasaki and Miyano! In episode four, Sasaki’s evident deepening feelings for Miyano has everyone rooting for him! The accidental kamedan scene brings forth incredible tension between Sasaki and Miyano. Sasaki grabbing Miyano through the window before Ogasawara can pat his head stirs mixed feelings. Are Sasaki’s and Miyano’s random meetups truly by happenstance? In episode five, Sasaki’s reiteration of his confession to Miyano in the shade as flowers fall all around them showcases his bravery and confidence in his feelings. Miyano’s complex regarding his feminine face is discussed. Sasaki’s actions while Miyano sleeps at school find themselves scattered throughout multiple layers of the sundae. In episode six, Miyano expresses to Sasaki that he needs more time to consider his confession, going against the notion that men should not have or vocalize their emotions. His non-response to Sasaki, however, leaves Chika and Giana feeling Banana Split. Kuresawa’s passion for his girlfriend sets the bar high for partners everywhere. And suddenly, to no one’s surprise, a fanfic idea is born at the end of the episode.
Tasting That Extra Sweet Peach (Sasaki and Miyano Eps 1-3)
Episode 61
Sunday, May 12, 2024 • Duration 01:01:31
In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana and Chika enter the wonderful world of boy’s love! They review episodes one through three of Sasaki & Miyano. While the timeline of episode one was a little confusing at points, nothing could put a damper on the ample shoujo feels that bubbled and burst all throughout this darling first episode. Sasaki’s interest in Miyano’s interest is absolute couple goals. In episode two, Miyano is begged to embrace shame and not listen to spicy CDs in the school hallway. The tension emanating from Sasaki and Miyano during The Pocky Game scene is off the charts. A post credits scene shines a light on a very silly plot hole. In episode three, Sasaki nobly defends the importance of boy’s love to Ogasawara. Miyano boldly gifts Sasaki candy for white day, leading to an adorably heightened level of happiness for Sasaki. Sasaki’s quiet whisper of a confession was a welcome surprise just three episodes into what is shaping up to be a Shoujo Sundae favorite anime.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana review episodes seven through ten of Ooku: The Inner Chambers. In episode seven, Sutezo’s profound love for his daughter tugs heartstrings. Arikoto’s and Sutezo’s first time meeting is uncomfortable to say the least. It is heartbreaking to see Arikoto’s rage and depression after everything he’s been through. In episode eight - Gyokuei, more like Gyoku-gay, am I right? There’s something very funny about Iemistu and Gyokeui getting it on for Arikoto’s sake. In episode nine, neither Chika nor Giana attempt to sugar coat the way they are ROOTING for Kasuga’s impending death. Sutezo’s passing was a devastating situation all around. In episode ten, the loose ties and unanswered questions leave much to be desired with the finale of Ooku: The Inner Chambers.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana, Chika, and Rachel the Shoujo Scholar review episodes four through six of Ooku: The Inner Chambers. In episode four, you can tell by the tone of our Floats Your Boat that this episode was going to hurt us deeply. Waka Murasaki meets a terrible fate, forcing Giana to hate Gyokuei with no hope for redemption. Rachel points out the interesting role reversal between Arikoto and Iemitsu. In episode five, Arikoto provides the ultimate fan service for bi individuals everywhere. Chika makes an interesting connection between Arikoto’s switch in devotion from Buddha to Iemitsu with cults. The question is raised: Why hasn’t Iemitsu simply killed Kasuga? Iemitsu’s painful past stirs up empathy for her. In episode six, Kasuga’s state of health brightens everyone’s spirits. Sutezo’s arrival shakes things up for Arikoto and Iemitsu.

Episode 56
Sunday, March 17, 2024 • Duration 01:47:06
In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika, Giana, and Colleen of Colleen’s Manga Recs review episodes one through three of Ooku: The Inner Chambers. In episode one, Mizuno’s story is a mesmerizing one to follow. Yoshimune’s approach as Shogun is praised. The darkness woven throughout the Ooku is both intriguing and disturbing. In episode two, we meet the sweet and responsible Arikoto, whose life is forever changed upon “visiting” the Ooku. We also meet Lady Kasuga, who makes a permanent home in Hot Fudge after forcing Arikoto to stay at the Ooku by literally any means possible. In episode three, we learn more about Iemistu and Arikoto’s life at the Ooku. Iemitsu’s gift of a white cat to Arikoto at the end of the episode stirs up some both serious and extremely unserious Sprinkles on Top. Gyokuei’s character is lightly analyzed and Kasuga is roasted yet again.
