The show knows that the funniest thing about love isn't the confession, it's the catastrophic spiral of someone trying to look cool while falling apart. Ishigami's anxiety over manga spoilers becomes the perfect mirror for what the whole series actually is: two people pretending they don't care while caring so much it physically hurts. Every Thursday countdown, every failed casual conversation, every moment where he's one word away from admitting what he actually feels, that's where the comedy lives, and that's where you realize you're watching something that understands longing better than it understands romance.

Every Thursday, student council secretary Yu Ishigami spends the day on edge, waiting for the moment he can slip away to the student council room and read the newest chapter of the seinen manga "Momo Doesn't Think." President Miyuki Shirogane joins him and quickly gets carried away by news that the manga's anime is getting a third season. Sooner or later, though, vice president Kaguya Shinomiya is bound to find out what has the two boys so absorbed. Afraid of being branded an otaku, Shirogane has to do whatever it takes to keep his embarrassing secret hidden. The one-episode comedy short adapts chapter 110 of the manga and served as a teaser for Ultra Romantic, which premiered in April 2022.
