"What do you think we can do to have a second child?" Shiho asked Nakatani (Dean Fujioka). "What? What can we do? Well, how about Ichigo-chan (Nagai Kana-chan)?" Nakatani was surprised, and Shiho replied, "That's not what I meant." Of course, she loves her husband, but she explained that they have become more like a "family" than a couple.
One day, Shiho tells Torarou, "Maybe we can do it tonight." However, Torarou responds, "I'm sorry. Not tonight. It's not that I don't want to or anything..."
On social media, people were talking about the show, saying things like, "They also tackle the sexless marriage. It's so real! They become a family, it's so relatable," "I can really relate to the awkwardness of having a second child," "It's a common problem when having a second child," "The problem of having a second child is really difficult," and "I almost stopped breathing at how close Shiho and Torarou became as a 'family.' Maybe there are actually a lot of couples like this."
