What to expect from Tonikawa: Over the Moon For You season 2 episode 3 (speculative)
Tonikawa: Over the Moon For You season 2 episode 3 preview teaser sees Naoko going on a date with Taniguchi-sensei to an amusement park. This sudden change in her usual routine, leaving her workaholic life behind, would give Naoko a sense of realization on how comfort has also been an important part of her life.
After witnessing the happy married life of Nasa and Tsukasa, Naoko decided to hang out with Taniguchi-sensei. However, running into the couple once again and being found with her colleague at an amusement park will eventually make her feel embarrassed.
As shown in the teaser, Nasa and Tsukasa will also encounter Chitose and her maids, which speaks volumes about how hilarious the upcoming episode will be.
A brief recap of Tonikawa: Over the Moon For You season 2 episode 2
Swamped by her looming deadlines, Naoko rejected Taniguchi-sensei’s offer of tagging along with him to a newly opened amusement park. Later that night, she inadvertently ran into her former student, Nasa, and discovered he had been married for a while. Naoko insisted that Nasa introduce his wife, being concerned that he could have been snared by a bad girl.
However, meeting Tsukasa changed Naoko’s whole perspective on her, and she even learned the depths of love through her cooking. With Nasa preferring to enjoy the present with his wife and leave the worries for tomorrow, Naoko realized that life was about being happy instead of running in circles with her mundane life. She instantly called Taniguchi-sensei and agreed to the date.
The next day, at the bathhouse, a boisterous man demanded that Tsukasa reveal the whereabouts of Nasa, but she turned down his request and asked him to leave. Kaname was startled by the thought that the person could be a yakuza member.
After a minor altercation, Tsukasa and Kaname discovered that the man with a yakuza-like demeanor was Ginga, Nasa’s younger cousin, who was still in middle school.
Ginga apologized for his rude behavior and was embarrassed to cause trouble for his elder cousin, the most influential person in his life. He revealed that he was going through some crisis and asked Nasa for help. Ginga startled everyone by revealing his problem by showing an abandoned kitten he ran into somewhere.
Tsukasa took the kitten to a veterinarian and later lectured Ginga on how raising a kitten was not easy. As the kitten was only comfortable around Tsukasa, it hissed at Nasa when he tried to carry it. While Tsukasa was asleep at night, Nasa treated the kitten with cat food, only to get rejected again.
