Darling in the FranXX: Man of the Week Award for Supreme Honesty
Thanks to Futoshi’s honesty, Kokoro was thoroughly embarrassed! But I like to hope she was a little touched, too. Capture from the Crunchyroll stream.
If you watched Darling in the FranXX, then you probably expect it to be a bit risqué. Episode 8 was no exception. Squad 13 fought an enemy whose attack acted like acid on the girls’ clothes. At first, Futoshi conspired with Zorome not to tell the girls and wait to see how far the acid would go. Not exactly trust building behavior! Of course the girls find out, and when they demanded an explanation and the other boys tried to make excuses, Futoshi summoned his courage and said, “I simply found you amazingly beautiful, Kokoro! Believe me! This is straight from the heart!” He gets the Man of the Week Award for being supremely honest! This is, of course, putting aside the likelihood that Kokoro would have preferred such a confession to be made in private!
