Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi Ni [Season 2 Episode 10]

Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi Ni Season 2 Episode 10: A Tiramisu Mission and a Heart in Limbo

Let’s cut to the chase—this episode is all about Aoi’s cooking magic and Ginji’s sadboi hours. If you’re here for food porn and love triangle drama, you’ve hit the jackpot.

First off, Aoi’s in her element. The episode throws her a curveball: creating a tiramisu fit for the Hidden Realm’s elite. But here’s the twist—mascarpone cheese and ladyfingers? Not exactly ayakashi staples. Fans are geeking out over her resourcefulness: “Finding mascarpone and stale ladyfingers isn’t easy,” one MyAnimeList user points out, “but Aoi’s connections will save her.” And save her she does—reimagining tiramisu with local spirit-world ingredients. It’s classic Aoi: turning human recipes into something ayakashi can slobber over. As another fan puts it, “She deserves all the respect for pulling this off.”

But let’s talk about the real star of the emotional show: Ginji. Oh, Ginji. The guy’s stuck in second-lead purgatory, and this episode cranks up the feels. He’s scouted for a big mission at Hyourei Shrine, but his heart’s not in it—because Aoi’s still wrapped up with Odanna-sama. Fans are crying foul: “Ginji’s living that tragic second lead life fr,” one comment reads. “Man’s got feelings, but the plot said nope.” Another adds, “I start to feel sad for Ginji… Aoi loves the oni, and it’s the OTP. Hope he can overcome that.” Ouch. Even the pacing gets called out—some viewers wanted less of Ginji moping and more Aoi cooking, but let’s be real: his pain is low-key addictive.

Pacing gripes aside, the episode nails what makes Kakuriyo work: food as love language. Aoi’s tiramisu isn’t just dessert—it’s a middle finger to the Hidden Realm’s snobs who think human food can’t compete. When Kai and Mei (the tiny, cookie-obsessed ayakashi) chime in with feedback, it’s pure joy. “Not the most sophisticated conversationalists,” a fan jokes, “but good in the kitchen.” Truer words never spoken.

And let’s not forget the strawberries. Oh, those strawberries. When Aoi conjures them up (because why not?), viewers lost it: “I want to have a taste of those strawberries—they looked tasty!” one user gushes. They’re not just fruit—they’re a symbol of Aoi’s ability to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

But wait—what about the romance? The love triangle’s heating up, and fans are divided. Some think Ginji and Aoi make more sense (“Their relationship would have made more sense than her being with the Master Innkeeper”), while others are Team Odanna all the way. “The romance this season surprised me,” a viewer admits. “S1 didn’t set it up this much, but now it’s full-on ‘they’re in love, they just won’t admit it.’”

By the end, we’re left with more questions than answers. Will Aoi’s tiramisu win over the Hachio Council? Can Ginji move on? And is there a Season 3 in the works? (“This isn’t resolved in two episodes,” a fan notes. “There’s got to be more.”)

At its core, Episode 10 is Kakuriyo doing what it does best: mixing comfort food with emotional stakes. Aoi’s kitchen is a safe space, but outside, hearts are breaking and alliances are shifting. It’s not perfect—pacing’s a bit off, and the love triangle feels rushed—but it’s fun. And let’s be honest: we’re all here for Aoi’s cooking montages and Ginji’s sad eyes.

So grab a snack (maybe a tiramisu?), settle in, and get ready for the finale. This episode’s a sweet, slightly bitter bite—just like Aoi’s chocolate espresso creation. And if you’re a Ginji stan? Bring tissues. You’ll need ’em.

Final Verdict: 7/10. Foodie heaven, but Ginji’s pain is too real.

P.S. If anyone finds Aoi’s spirit-world tiramisu recipe, hit me up. I’d sell my soul for a bite.
