WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Episode 6 of TONIKAWA: Over the Moon For You, now streaming on Crunchyroll.
Nasa is finally getting used to his unexpected marriage to the mysterious Tsukasa, and the reality of it is sinking in. Now, he's prepared to expand this marriage a little and literally make room for this new relationship. Is it time to find a new place?
Already, Nasa has spent a few awkard nights with his new bride, since Tsukasa is a restless sleeper who is liable to lay across Nasa at a moment's notice or wander around the place. There isn't even enough room for them to get changed in total privacy. To fix all this and get comfortable, Nasa starts scouting out news places to live -- the future of his marriage depends on it!
To Move, Or Not To Move
Nasa is eager to impress Tsukasa, but he's not the type to rush things or make rash decisions. He carefully reviews the layout of his current apartment to try andfigure out how to fit Tsukasa in there. Tsukasa has been sleeping in a futon while Nasa had his twin bed to himself, but what if they got a queen or king-sized bed, or a bigger living room, or a dedicated dining room? The ideas come flooding in, but when Nasa shares them with Tsukasa, she's not so keen on the idea of moving. Nothing is wrong with their current place, she argues, and it's not worth the money to have a little extra elbow room.
Tsukasa's opinion is in the minority. Nasa visits his friend Kaname at the bathhouse, and she insists that Nasa find a bigger place to share with Tsukasa right away. Kaname imagined herself in Tsukasa's shoes and was outraged at the idea of having a husband who kept her cooped up in a tiny place just to save some cash. How dare Nasa make Tsukasa sleep on a futon while he has a bed to himself? Nasa sees Kaname's point, and his resolve to find a new apartment is galvanized at once. After all, he's been planning to give Tsukasa the dream wedding she deserves, but what does that mean without a cozy house to go with it?
A Helping Hand?
Nasa has been talking the talk, but now it's time for action, and this might be where his marriage with Tsukasa either blasts off like a shuttle, or crashes and burns instead. Can he handle the challenge of apartment hunting for the sake of his lovely bride? For now, Tsukasa has agreed to at least humor Nasa's quest, but more obstacles lay ahead. One problem is their youth; they'll need a trusted adult to help with paperwork for getting a new apartment. Tsukasa's foster mother Tokiko isn't an option, so it falls to Nasa's parents to aid the newlyweds.
Nasa's parents, the Yuzakis, are a bit behind -- they don't even know about the marriage at all, let alone the need for an apartment. Nasa texts his mother, and seems to be hiding her anger. She might be opposed to the marriage, so Nasa and Tsukasa prepare to visit the Yuzakis in Nara Prefecture to talk things out in person. If Nasa can't even get his parents' support, this marriage may be as good as dead, and he boards a night bus with some trepidation. On the plus side, they practically have the bus to themselves, and Tsukasa settles in and falls asleep with almost supernatural ease. She's as relaxed as can be, and she has a casual honeymoon in Kyoto to look forward to along the way. What Nasa and Tsukasa don't know is that Chitose is tailing them, determined to use this honeymoon as an opportunity to shatter this marriage once and for all. Kyoto is about to become a war zone over the future of this nuptial arrangement.
