In "We Swapped Places," we witness the growing connection between Kyo and Anna, marked by several key moments of interaction.
The episode begins with a pivotal encounter during gym class, when Anna catches her first glimpse of Kyo’s right eye and is visibly fascinated. Later, a spirited race between them culminates in Kyo offering Anna a helping hand, sparking a chain of thoughts that sends Kyo on an eager online search to decipher the meaning behind this innocent interaction. A relatable course of action for any teenager still grappling with the complexities of interpersonal relationships.
An unexpected jersey swap between Anna and Kyo deepens their bond even further, sending our protagonist into a panic. Kyo, fearing others might find out, goes to great lengths to signal the mix-up to Anna—even risking public humiliation by volunteering to solve a math problem in class. Despite his efforts, his message goes unnoticed, and he is teased by Adachi for his incorrect answer.
The difference in height poses a challenge as Kyo struggles to see the board from Anna’s back. This dilemma forces Kyo to approach the problem delicately, and his solution—telling Anna, "During class, I only see you"—is both clever and heartwarming. This confession makes Anna’s face light up, followed by mutual embarrassment, wonderfully conveyed through their expressions alone.
The episode ends with the news that Anna has landed a movie role, causing excitement in the classroom. However, Anna’s reaction isn’t as enthusiastic as expected, which Kyo attributes to her not inquiring about her role. But it might also be due to the upcoming seat-switching day or Kyo’s lack of immediate interest.
