Shoshimin: Episode 2 Recap

The episode, titled “How to Make Delicious Hot Cocoa,”opens with Jogoru strolling through a market and spotting Yuki. As he approaches her, he correctly deduces that she is upset about her stolen bicycle and strawberry tarts. However, she ends up revealing something even more troubling that had occurred.

It appears that the school counselor requested her presence in their office after her bike was seen at the location of a burglary. She was reprimanded for not properly securing her bike, which put a damper on her mood. As a result, Jogoru made the decision to take her to a nearby shop for some sweets, however, Kengo called once again.

Therefore, the two of them made their way to Kengo’s house. Once they were comfortably situated, they indulged in the cake that Yuki had purchased while Kengo shared with Jogoro the secret to crafting the perfect hot cocoa. Sensing a slight unease between the two, Yuki excused herself to use the bathroom, leaving the boys alone. It was then that Kengo decided to speak up.

Kengo questioned the cause of Jogoro’s shift in behavior, from snarky and pretentiously knowledgeable to obnoxious and deceptive with a pleasant demeanor. In response, Jogoro attempted to argue for his “ordinary”nature and adaptability, but Kengo remained skeptical. He did not trust that Jogoro was someone who easily acquiesced.

At this point, we were also introduced to Chisato, who is Kengo’s sister. She was upset that Kengo had only used one spoon to make cocoa, causing it to become dirty. As a result, Chisato, along with Yuki and Jogoro, decided to recreate Kengo’s cocoa-making process. Each of them came up with their own techniques, all of which required minimal use of dishes and only dirtied one spoon.

Upon deliberation, the trio discovered that Kengo’s efficiency was a result of heating up the entire milk carton before pouring it into cups with cocoa powder, a solution that Jogoro ultimately suggested.

What to expect from Shoshimin episode 3

It is highly anticipated that episode 3 of Shoshimin will cover the events of chapter 4 from the original material. This installment will focus on the development of Yuki and Jogoro’s normal lives, as they visit a confectionery and indulge in Yuki’s love for sweets fully.

Jogoro will most likely have another case to solve. Additionally, if featured in this episode, viewers may catch a glimpse of Yuki’s stolen bike and its thief, Sakagmi.
