Our Dating Story: Experienced You and Inexperienced Me episode 4 delves into a treasure trove of long-hidden truths, revealing a plot twist that promises to bring Ryuto and Runa closer together , helping them understand each other more deeply. As the old adage goes, honestly, that really is the best policy. In this episode, it becomes clear that the newfound openness between them is the key to their blossoming connection. This intriguing twist in their romantic journey not only adds excitement but also paves the way for a more genuine and deeper relationship to blossom between the two leads.
In Our Dating Story: The Experience You and The Inexperienced Me, episode 4 picks up right where episode 3 left off. Ryuto reveals to everyone that he and Runa are officially dating. Predictably, many people were skeptical and thought it was just a joke, but Runa confirmed their relationship. This announcement surprised Maria, who suddenly left the classroom. Ryuto, concerned about the rumors, chases after her.
In a surprising twist, Maria reveals that she and Runa are twins, leaving Ryuto completely shocked. As they talk, Maria opens up about feeling like she’s always in Runa’s shadow, feeling like she’s constantly being abandoned. She shares stories about their family and confides in Ryuto about her feelings and experiences about Runa.
Ryuto gives his advice in support and advises Maria not to change herself for others. He encourages her to do things that she believes will truly make her a better person instead of trying to compete with her sister. This heartfelt conversation marks a pivotal moment in their relationship, as Maria begins to explore her own path and identity, setting the stage for a deeper connection to blossom between them.
That plot is truly amazing; Finding out that they were twins was shocking. When Maria admitted that she spread those rumors because she felt like she was always in Runa’s shadow, it made me so angry. It’s important to remember that using such tactics, even if you feel ignored, is not the right way to solve the problem. Instead of trying to tarnish someone else’s reputation, you should try to build your own. It is a valuable lesson that reminds us all to stay true to ourselves, realize our worth, and strive to create our own unique image instead of trying to destroy the image of others.
As Runa and Ryuto walked together, she offered an apology for not revealing the fact that they were twins earlier. She explained that she hadn’t found the right time to tell him. However, Ryuto reassures her that everything is okay and that he now understands that he knows the truth.
As they continue to walk, Runa and Ryuto decide to spend more time together at a cafe, discussing how they can gradually make changes for the benefit of the person they care about. Runa expressed her desire to get to know Ryuto better by taking an interest in his interests. Ryuto mentioned a streamer he liked, KEN, and to Runa’s surprise, she was surprised. Ryuto realized that he might have overwhelmed her with his enthusiasm, like in episode 2 when he talked a lot about cars. However, Runa reassures him that it’s okay because she really wants to learn more about him. They agree to watch one of KEN’s gaming sessions together.
Meanwhile, Ryuto can’t help but have thoughts of wanting to get closer to Runa, whether through a kiss or physical affection. However, he also feels worried, afraid that such actions could jeopardize their budding relationship. Our Dating Story: Experienced You and Inexperienced Me episode 4 shows how a teenager can sometimes have wild thoughts, but it’s cute how he respects her! It’s amazing how they are trying to grow their relationship and themselves.
Ryuto confides in his friends about his desire to share intimate moments with Runa, such as kissing or holding her hand. However, his friends could not give any advice because they had never been in such a situation before. After thinking carefully, Ryuto decided to plan a date where he could create the perfect setting to get closer to Runa. He discussed the idea of going on a boat date with her because it was the ideal opportunity to initiate physical contact.
However, during their boat date, Ryuto continuously fails to make a move. His efforts became so tiring that Runa noticed his fatigue and feared that he wanted to break up with her. She believes that a breakup is often followed by a disappointing date. However, to her surprise, Ryuto corrected her misunderstanding, revealing that he just wanted to go on another boat. Even though it was a blatant lie, they agreed to go to another boat.
This time, Ryuto took the initiative and extended his hand to invite Runa onto the boat. The unexpected gesture shocked her. On the boat, they openly discussed their desire to touch and be close to each other, culminating in a gentle kiss. Both expressed their intention to take things slow to avoid hurting each other’s feelings.
When they ended their date and returned, Runa talked about how their relationship felt awkward due to their decision not to rush into physical intimacy, but she found it enjoyable nonetheless. The awkwardness and anticipation added a unique flavor to their relationship. Meanwhile, Maria is thinking about trying to steal Ryuto from Runa, setting the stage for potential drama in upcoming episodes.
Our dating story: Experienced You and Experienced I’m Not Experienced episode 4 really brings lovely and warm experiences. Even though it starts off with quite a bit of drama, it shows how the characters gradually open up to each other. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode even though I was quite angry when Maria thought of the idea of stealing Ryuto from Runa, especially since this romance anime is pretty typical. Either way, the sweetness of their day and the way they confided in each other made it truly wonderful.
A particularly interesting moment is when Ryuto discusses his uncertainty about how to become closer to Runa and his friends. Their single status leaves them without advice, which highlights their humorous and easy-going dynamic as a group of friends. It’s these moments that quickly reveal just how close and interesting their friendship is, and, overall, add to the fun of the episode.
I premiered Our Dating Story: Experienced You and Inexperienced Me episode 4 on September 10.
