Shoshimin: Episode 1 Recap

In the first episode, Sheep Costume, the two main characters, Jogoro Kobato and Yuki Osanai, were quickly introduced as they began their new journey at Funato High School. Viewers were also introduced to the important supporting character, Dojima Kengo.

Yuki’s fondness for strawberry tarts and desserts in general was emphasized as they continued on. The duo stopped at a cafe and indulged in their love for sweets. During their conversation, Jogoro mentioned that his parents were the owners of a confectionery shop specializing in Japanese treats.

This is also the place where viewers learn about the expectations of being ordinary. According to these expectations, an ordinary person must not draw attention to themselves and should strive for a peaceful daily life, avoiding anything that may disrupt it.

The setting then changes, likely to the following day, as Jogoro and Yuki are depicted on their way to purchase exclusive strawberry tarts. However, their outing is disrupted by Kengo, who brings Jogoro a case involving a stolen pochette. After some investigation, Jogoro manages to deduce the truth.

One student had grown fond of the pochette’s owner. In an attempt to confess his feelings, he tried to slip a love letter into it. However, upon reconsideration, he decided to hold onto the pochette until he could find the right time to return it.

The events then continued with Jogoro and Yuki’s recollection of a “promise”and their journey towards “normalcy”. The episode concluded with the duo successfully obtaining the last two exclusive Spring strawberry tarts. However, their elation was short-lived when they witnessed someone carelessly ruining the tarts in front of them.

What to expect from Episode 2 of Shoshimin

Studio Lapin Track has adapted the prologue, chapter 1, and the first part of chapter 2 from the source material for the series. Based on this pacing, it is expected that Shoshimin episode 2 will cover the remaining parts of chapter 2 (2, 3, 4) and potentially introduce the next chapter before concluding.

In the second episode, after the unfortunate incident with the strawberry tarts, Yuki would be visibly upset and decide to skip school the following day. Jogoro would once again encounter Kengo and require his “wisdom work”. Asuke Katsube would also make an appearance and present another case to him.
