With You, Our Love Will Make It Through [Season 1 Episode 6]

Let’s be real—we’ve all had that crush that feels like it’s against the unwritten rules, right? The one where your friends side-eye you and go, “Wait, them?” Well, if you’ve ever felt that fluttery, forbidden vibe, Episode 6 of With You, Our Love Will Make It Through hits different. This week’s episode dives deeper into Mari and Tsunagu’s messy, sweet, and totally boundary-breaking bond—and fans are losing their minds over every minute of it.

First off, let’s set the scene for anyone who’s just tuning in: The show takes place in a world where beastfolk (think furry, animal-like humans with ears and tails) are stuck behind literal walls, segregated from regular humans. Mari, our awkward but big-hearted main girl, met Tsunagu (a beastfolk guy with soft, fluffy ears) when they were both late to school. Now, Episode 6 picks up with their relationship at a crossroads—they like each other, but the world around them is screaming that they shouldn’t.

This episode’s standout moment? When Mari and Tsunagu sneak to the edge of the beastfolk wall after school. Tsunagu leans against the concrete barrier, his tail flicking nervously, and tells Mari about what life is like on his side: the small shops, the way kids play in the streets, the constant fear of being judged. Mari, who was once scared to even talk to a beastfolk, reaches through a crack in the wall and touches his paw (yes, paw—deal with it). It’s a quiet, intimate scene that feels way more powerful than any big, dramatic kiss. Fans on MyAnimeList are calling it “the most heartfelt moment of the season so far.”

But let’s not skip the tea: The manga this show is based on is known for being steamy, and Episode 6 drops hints of that. There’s a scene where Tsunagu helps Mari fix her broken bike, and his fur brushes against her arm—Mari’s face turns so red, she looks like a tomato. One fan joked, “I was screaming into my blanket—when are they gonna kiss already?!” Another added, “The anime is toning down the manga’s steaminess, but that tension is still there. Good thing, too—I don’t need my parents walking in on that.”

Of course, not everyone’s on board with the furry aspect. One 18-year-old fan wrote, “Either I’m too young or too old for this… I ain’t never seen anime like this before.” And yeah, if you’re not into beastfolk stories, this might not be your vibe. But here’s the thing: It’s not just about the fur. It’s about acceptance. It’s about seeing someone for who they are, not what they look like. As another fan put it, “This show isn’t just a romance—it’s a middle finger to prejudice.”

Another hot topic among fans is the prequel. A die-hard manga reader said, “You NEED to read Hana-chan and the Beast Man before watching this! It explains why the wall exists and gives Tsunagu’s backstory.” I haven’t read it yet, but after Episode 6, I’m definitely adding it to my to-read list. It makes sense why some fans are so obsessed—this show has layers, y’all.

Let’s talk about the haters, too. Some people are calling this “just another boring shoujo.” But wait—have they even watched it? Episode 6 isn’t just about holding hands and blushing. It’s about Mari standing up to her friend who makes a rude comment about Tsunagu. It’s about Tsunagu risking getting in trouble just to see Mari. This isn’t your typical “girl chases boy” story—it’s about two people fighting against a system that wants to keep them apart. As one fan argued, “If you think this is boring, you’re missing the point.”

Episode 6 ends with a cliffhanger that left me gasping: Mari and Tsunagu agree to meet again at the wall, but a guard catches them. Tsunagu runs off, and Mari is left standing there, her heart racing. Fans are speculating about what happens next—will Tsunagu get in trouble? Will Mari’s parents find out? We’ll have to wait until next week, but one thing’s for sure: This episode has solidified With You, Our Love Will Make It Through as one of the most talked-about shows of Fall 2025.

So, should you watch it? If you’re into sweet romances with a side of social commentary, or if you loved Beastars and want something a little softer, then yes. Even if you’re not into the furry thing, give it a chance—you might be surprised by how much you care about Mari and Tsunagu. As one fan put it, “I went in thinking this was gonna be weird, but now I’m hooked. Oops.”

At the end of the day, love is love—whether it’s between two humans, a human and a beastfolk, or whoever. Episode 6 of With You, Our Love Will Make It Through reminds us that sometimes, the best relationships are the ones that break all the rules. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to rewatch that wall scene for the 10th time. Bye!
