Haru Kato

The first time you came to stay over his apartment, Haru was very nervous about it. Before leaving for work that morning, he made sure to clean his apartment, and checked to see if everything was organized.

While at work, all he thought about is seeing you at the end of the day, and what’ll happen after you come to his place. The main plan was to watch movies together, order take out and just spend time together.

You noticed that you guys hadn’t been able to spend as much time together as you’d like, so you suggested a stay at home date! Haru offered his place to host, since you have a roommate and felt it would be too awkward to hold it there.

But now, he’s internally panicking, worrying if he’ll accidentally mess something up and ruin it for the both of you. 

Like the gentlemen he was, he picked you up from work and the two of you walked to his place. The whole time you saw how nervous he looked, you tried to calm him down. “It’s okay, Haru.” You held onto his hand, “We’re just going to spend time together. It’s nothing we haven’t already done.”

“I know that it’s just that…” He turned his head away from you, “I’ve never had a date… over at my place… And I want you to have a good time there.”

“Aww! Haru, you don’t have to try so hard. Just being with you is enough for me.”

He blushed as you said that, “(Y/n)...” He said, covering his face with his free hand.

“But it’s true! Being with you makes my heart feel light, and time seems to fly by.”

Once you reached his place, he struggled a little bit trying to open the door. You waited until he walked in first and joined him inside. “You have a very well kept home, Haru.” You noted as you looked around. “You’d make a good husband.”

“...Husband!?”

“Yeah! You don’t think so?” You asked, wondering if you overstepped your boundaries a little bit. 

“I mean… if you see me as worthy husband material-”

“I do! You’re the complete package! And you could cook too!”

For the next hour or so, you spent it trying to convince him that he is worth so much, and you couldn’t believe how lucky you were to be dating him.

After you settled, Haru handed you the remote so that you can pick a movie to watch. “I wouldn’t be a very good host if I didn’t let you choose, now would I?”

“You know that’s not true, I’d watch any movie you’d pick. But thank you.”

You searched through the different types of movies it had to offer, and ultimately picked a horror movie. The description sounded good enough, and the reviews were high.

“A horror movie?” Haru asked when he came back, now with Chinese take-out in hand and placed it on the table in front of you.

“Yup,” you confirmed. “I heard that horror movies are good for dates since it strengthens our relationship.”

“I see…”

During the movie, you didn’t get as scared as you’d like, but Haru on the other hand was clinging to your arm, with his eyes squeezed shut. You didn’t mind it at all, and thought it was rather cute of him. 

“You hanging in there?”

“...Mhm.”

Knowing that probably wasn’t the truth you looked at the time, it was getting late and you both have work tomorrow. 

“We should go to sleep now. Especially you, I know that you stay up late to finish work, but when I’m around I’ll make sure you get a decent amount of sleep.”

He nodded at you, “You can take the bed and I’ll sleep on the couch.”

“That’s not necessary. I don’t mind you sleeping with me on the bed.” You got up and began to clear the take-out. 

“You sure? I don’t want to invade your space…” 

You shook your head, “You wouldn’t. If you’re okay with it, then I’m okay as well. I don’t want to be the reason that you’re sleeping on the couch.”

You got into bed first and Haru followed after, you snuggled your body closer to his. “Is this alright?”

He wrapped his arms around you, “It’s fine…” his voice came out sluggishly. “You feel so warm…” After that he fell asleep comfortably.

You stared at his face, taking in how at peace he looked while sleeping. While he was awake, it showed on his face that something was bothering him. But right now, he was relaxed, whatever was bothering him can’t reach him now. 

You smiled to yourself and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead, “Good night, Haru.”

Updated - Prediction for the episode outline for the rest of the reboot anime series! :)

I originally made a post like this before Episode 25 came out, so I modified it just a bit. I also largely stuck with the “two chapters worth of content per episode” idea/concept/rule, with only a few exceptions here and there. 

Season Two First Cour (1-13)

Ep 1 - Ch. 43 + Ch. 42 (Haru destroying the classroom + the Motoko chapter asking about girls on the student council, with the episode ending with us learning that Machi is on the student council and Kakeru is interested in Tohru. I can also see them including the scene between Kyo and Tohru in Hiro's intro chapter when Kyo asks Tohru about the injury he caused her).

Ep 2 - Ch. 46 (Mayu tells the class about the upcoming parent-teacher conferences, Tohru freaks out a bit and Shigure gives his laundry analogy, everyone ends up eating soumen. I can see them combining this chapter's content with the Haru and Kyoru moments from Ritsu's episode. Since those moments dealt specifically with Haru destroying the classroom and the True Form stuff).

Ep 3 - Ch. 36 + Ch. 47 (These two chapters would go well together. We'd start with Yuki visiting Ayame's shop and us meeting Mine and the small moment between those two. Then the second half of the episode would Yuki's troubled thoughts about the upcoming Parent-Teacher conference and him bonding with Ayame a bit in his garden. I think the contents of Episode 47 would really enhance the contents of Chapter 36 and give the sense of more progression and growth when it comes to Yuki and Ayame's relationship).

Ep. 4 - Ch. 48 + Ch. 49 (This episode would have the end of the term, start of summer, the Haunted House along with maybe another Rin scene that is anime original. There would also be Yuki's first meeting/interaction with Kakeru and Machi).

Ep. 5 - Ch. 50 + Ch. 52 (This would have the introduction to the Uo and Kureno stuff and Kyo + Tohru visiting Kazuma. This isn't necessarily the smoothest combination of content, but I feel it could work well to show how interconnected everything is becoming and how Uo and Tohru are drifting apart a bit, in the sense that Uo is taking an interest in Kureno and Tohru is getting closer to Kyo).

Ep. 6 - Ch. 56 + Ch. 57 (The Hatori and Mayu chapters show up right in-between the Beach House Arc, so I could see them rearranging things just a little bit so that the content of these chapters go into an episode right before the Beach House Arc. That way the flow will be better and not broken up like in the manga).

Ep. 7 - Ch. 53 + Ch. 54 (We would have Rin visiting Shigure about the curse and the start of the Beach House Arc, with Tohru swimming and such. The reveal about Hiro's mother being pregnant would probably happen around this episode too).

Ep. 8 - Ch. 55 + Ch. 56 (This would have the stage beetle and watermelon smashing stuff. Kyo talking to Tohru about his mom and Hiro bringing up Tohru's mom complex stuff would likely happen around here).

Ep. 9 - Ch. 59 + Ch. 60 (These chapters contain things like the conversation between Rin and Kagura as well as Yuki realizing that he loves Tohru. I expect they'll rearrange some things so that Yuki's realization happens at the end of the episode).

Ep. 10 - Ch. 61 + Ch. 62 (This episode would contain Kyo and Tohru making sandcastles, Tohru learning more about Kyo's beads, and the Kyo + Akito confrontation, ending with Kyo realizing he loves Tohru).

Ep. 11 - Ch. 63 + Ch. 64 (Here is when the drama would start reaching the climax, with Kyo thinking about how he wants to be with Tohru til the end and I can see this episode ending either with Akito punching Momiji or they could go and adapt the first few pages of Ch. 65 too, which has the reveal of Akito being the God of the Zodiac).

Ep. 12 - Ch. 65 + Ch. 66 (They could either start the episode off with the reveal of Akito being the God of the Zodiac, or if they put that at the end of Ep. 11, then they could continue straight from that episode and adapt the rest of the chapter. Then we would get the resolution to that, them coming home, Ayame being there, the Student Council stuff, and Tohru contacting Kazuma to come visit him).

Ep. 13 - Ch. 67 + Ch. 68 (The first cour could then end with Tohru visiting Kazuma and talking to him about the Curse and Kagura letting Kyo go. This way they could end the first cour with some things coming to an end - Kagura pursuing Kyo - and other things beginning - Tohru wanting to break the curse).

Season Two Second Cour (14 - 25)

Ep. 14 - Ch. 69 + 70 (Here we would see the start of the Rin and Haru stuff, Tohru's grandpa throwing out his back, and Kyo finding Tohru upset/crying on the sidewalk/walkway).

Ep. 15 - Ch. 71 (This would start off the Parent/Teacher conference stuff. I could see them making Kyo and Tohru's conferences one episode, with some anime original content to pad it out).

Ep. 16 - Ch. 72 + Ch. 73 (Here we would get Yuki's Parent - Teacher conference, The Student Defense Force stuff, and Yuki and Kakeru fighting. They could also decide to put all the Parent-Teacher conference stuff together in Ep. 15 and just make Ep. 16 be Ch. 73 content with some anime original stuff to pad it out though. That is definitely an option, imo).

Ep. 17 - Ch. 74 + Ch. 75 (We would get the Momo and Momiji plotline, Tohru visiting the estate, Tohru visiting and talking with Kureno, and the Kyoru roof scene).

Ep. 18 - Ch. 76 + Ch. 77 (The school trip and the school trip aftermath).

Ep. 19 - Ch. 78 + Ch. 79 (Rin's backstory, her fainting, and so on).

Ep. 20 - Ch. 80 + Ch. 81 (This is when we get stuff like Rin crying into Tohru's arms and Nao getting frustrated with Machi and such).

Ep. 21 - Ch. 82 + Ch. 83 (Tohru visits Rin in the hospital, Machi breaks down the door when Yuki gets stuck in the room and suffers a PTSD attack).

Ep. 22 - Ch. 84 + Ch. 85 (Yuki's backstory, The Cap, and Yuki stating that he sees Tohru as a mother).

Ep. 23 - Ch. 86 + Ch. 87 (Yuki opening to Kakeru about how he feels about Tohru, Kyoru script flirting, Ayame calling up Yuki to let him know that he and Mine will do their costumes, and then all of the Sorta Cinderella prep stuff).

Ep. 24 - Ch. 88 + Ch. 89 (Sorta Cinderella and the aftermath of it. I could see them maybe adding some anime only scenes here and there too).

Ep. 25 - Ch. 94 + Ch. 95 (Yuki hangs out with the Student Council and decides to go to the New Year's Banquet, Akito attacks Yuki, the season ends with the tease about how the characters can feel that something is changing/change is in store for them).

Season Three First Cour (1 - 12)

Ep. 1 - Ch. 96 + Ch. 97 (This episode would just jump right into the stuff concerning Akito and Kureno's relationship, Kureno being freed from the curse, and Akito being a woman).

Ep. 2 - Ch. 98 + Ch. 99 (Here would be when we get introduced to Ren, via her trying to choke out Akito, and things like Uo and Hana consoling Tohru and the Kyoru scarf scene).

Ep. 3 - Ch. 100 + Ch. 101 (The second year's prepping the third years rooms for graduation with the paper flower, the Kyoru paper flower scene, Akigure stuff, and the reveal that Shigure slept with Ren, etc.).

Ep. 4 - Ch. 102 + Ch. 103 (Machi's backstory, footsteps in the snow, Motoko graduating, Hiro's sister being born, and ending with Akito cutting Rin's hair).

Ep. 5 - Ch. 104 + Ch. 105 (This is when Hiro would tell Haru about Rin, we'd get Rin and Haru's past together, and Haru would visit Akito).

Ep. 6 - Ch. 106 + Ch. 107 (Haru saves Rin, Rin is staying at Kazuma's, and the episode ending with Tohru asking Shigure when the Curse will break).

Ep. 7 - Ch. 108 + Ch. 109 (This episode would focus on stuff like Tohru and Shigure discussing the Curse, Tohru telling Kyo about her dad, and the sheet hugging scene).

Ep. 8 - Ch. 90 + Ch. 91 (I could see them rearranging when the Kyoko and Katsuya backstory occurs, since I think it would make a nice transition/flow to go from an previous episode that 1. took place during the anniversary of Kyoko's death and after Tohru tells Kyo about her dad. Of course, I could also see them placing this episode at the start of Season 3, too. It could end up in Season 2, too, but I think narratively it would work best here. These chapters cover Kyoko's backstory and her meeting Katsuya).

Ep. 9 - Ch. 92 + 93 (Then this episode would be the continuation of Kyoko's backstory with Tohru's birth and Katsuya's death. Overall, I feel that the Kyoko and Katsuya backstory is a bit hard to place in general, since it is kinda like Hana's backstory, in that it is a more self-contained flashback. Though it does connect a bit to the present day with the Sorta Cinderella stuff and Kyo, which is why I think it could work as the first two opening episodes in Season 3 as well. But, they could always rework some of that stuff too).

Ep. 10 - Ch. 110 + Ch. 111 (This would have Ayame opening up to Yuki about how he regrets how he turned down that girl in high school and how meeting Mine helped humble him towards feelings of love and such. This is also when we would get Momiji's growth spurt).

Ep. 11 - Ch. 112 + 113 (The entirety of this episode would be focused on Kakeru's connection to Tohru via Komaki and Yuki meeting Komaki).

Ep. 12 - Ch. 114 + 115 (The drama would go up a notch more here with Kagura slapping Tohru, Tohru not wanting or accepting an apology from Kagura, the Ren and Akira backstory stuff, and Momiji's curse breaking. This would be the end of the first cour of the third season.)

Season Three Second Cour (13 - 23)

Ep. 13 - Ch. 116 + Ch. 117 (Momiji's Curse is gone and he confronts Akito, Akito finally gives Ren the box).

Ep. 14 - Ch. 118 + Ch. 119 (Hiro's Curse breaks, Akito stabs Kureno, then we get the past between Kyo and Kyoko, and Kyo tells Tohru how he let her die).

Ep. 15 - Ch. 120 + Ch. 121 (Tohru confesses to Kyo and then the episode ends with the cliff giving out as Tohru is reaching her hand out to Akito to take).

Ep. 16 - Ch. 122 + Ch. 123 (Kyo finds Tohru and kisses her and then Yuki confronts Kyo).

Ep. 17 - Ch. 124 + Ch. 125 (Akito visits Kureno and Tohru in the hospital, Yuki gives Machi the Mogeta plush).

Ep. 18 - Ch. 126 + Ch. 127 (This episode would contain content like Kyo confronting his dad and Uo visiting Kureno. I could see them deciding to end the episode on either story, tbh).

Ep. 19 - Ch. 128 + Ch. 129 (Tohru gets released from the hospital, their first proper kiss, Kyo and Tohru decide to be together, the Curse breaks).

Ep. 20 - Ch. 130 + Ch. 131 (Everyone's Curse breaks and we get the truth behind the myth, general aftermath stuff would continue as well).

Ep. 21 - Ch. 132 + Ch. 133 (Akito revealing her secret to the younger Zodiac members, Kyoru dating, and everyone processing that Akito is a woman).

Ep. 22 - Ch. 134 + Ch. 135 (More of the resolution/wrap-up to the series with Yuki applying to college, Kyoru moments, visiting Kyoko's grave, and Kyoko's final thoughts).

Ep. 23 - Ch. 136 + Extended/Additional Scenes

Of course, if they went the route of three seasons with 25 episode each, that would leave them with some wiggle room in the third season, especially. I have no doubt that they will likely rearrange things in a way I can't even really imagine right now. But after the first season and the very beginning of Season 2, there is really very little need to rearrange much. I also think that Episode 25 showcased just how much they can actually, comfortably, fit into an episode, which is quite a bit.
