SasaMiya Anime: Episode One (An Analytical Summarization)
In episode one, Sasaki and Miyano were introduced, how they met, and the events that led Sasaki to fall in love with Miyano—or perhaps the process he went through to accept he was in love with Miyano. It covered the first four chapters of the manga that jump between summer season and fall season as flashbacks, and the following events that establish the following information:
- Summer: Sasaki and Miyano's first meeting where a first-year is getting beaten up, and Sasaki prevents Miyano from getting beaten up; getting beaten up instead.
- Fall: Three months after their first meeting, Sasaki acts very casual around Miyano, using the nickname Myaa-chan.
- Hirano and Miyano are on the Disciplinary Committee. They are close enough that Miyano asked Hirano for help before Sasaki arrived to intervene in the fight.
- Fall: Sasaki has a sweet tooth and high baking skills. He also bakes at home.
- Fall: For some reason, Miyano changes the position of his schoolbag around Sasaki.
- Fall: Sasaki and Miyano share the same train line going to and from school.
- Fall: Sasaki's mom is a housewife. Also, he has an older sister who aids in the kitchen, so Sasaki doesn't have much experience cooking.
- Fall: Sasaki arrives late to school rather often and falls asleep in class.
- Summer: Hirano has a roommate in the basketball team that Miyano would like to know about, regarding their relationship with Hirano.
- Summer: Miyano has two classmates he's close with, Kuresawa and Tashiro.
- Fall: Miyano lent a volume of a BL to Sasaki who reacted positively. Miyano continues to lend Sasaki BL manga and records what Sasaki likes to improve his recommendations.
- Summer: Hirano and Sasaki are in the same class where Hirano lets Sasaki copy his homework.
- Summer: Sasaki confirms Miyano is a guy and complains to Hirano about the situation he found himself in, his growing attraction for Miyano.
- Summer: Hirano considers Miyano an important underclassman and is willing to care for him however he can.
- Fall: Sasaki knows Miyano's classroom because of Hirano and goes to see him sometimes. Miyano finds it somewhat bothersome, and Hirano kindly tries to take Sasaki away.
- Fall: Miyano has the complete opposite of a sweet tooth, although he's okay with wasabi-flavored candies and likes chocolates with alcohol and fizzy drinks. Meanwhile, Sasaki can't stand that type of chocolate.
- Summer: The important band-aid scene where Miyano becomes the light of Sasaki's life, and Sasaki asks Miyano to date, promptly getting rejected.
- Fall: Sasaki is very much, undeniably, and hopelessly in love with Miyano Yoshikazu.
