We don't talk enough about this panel comparing Yosuke to a red panda.
I know it was Yosuke who started comparing himself to a panda, being the new school "exotic" attraction at school (a boy from the city), but that small bubble with him and a red panda is so cute.
Daisuke had replied saying he is instead a red panda, as a joke because Yosuke is smaller (and thinner, he is pretty slender guy), but he suddenly realized he actually looks like one (it's adorable).
Also cute team balls + Yosuke moment, in addition to the part where Yosuke and Daisuke go get more vegetables for the event, and Daisuke's dialogue in game about Yosuke 😌

Naoto Shirogane didn’t like trains that much. The long ride from Sendai down to Yasoinaba bored him immensely - the only thing he could do was scroll through his phone and listen to gossip about a local member who was having an alleged affair with a news reporter. He frowned, he wasn’t even sure where he was going, but was surprised when he’d received a text from the woman who would be taking care of him - at least, until his grandfather recovered;
Eri: Yuu-kun and I are waiting outside Yasoinaba Station
Eri: Text me when you arrive, okay?
Naoto: I’m on my way - I think it’ll take about 15 minutes
Eri: All right then! See you!
The train pulled into Yasoinaba Station, and Naoto sighed. He was here for a new beginning, that was what it was. A new beginning that had been met with awkward silence from his classmates at Sendai High - after all, he’d only just arrived there in his first year when suddenly, his grandfather’s illness got worse. At the end of March, he was taken out of Sendai and moved to a ‘family friend’ - Eri Minami, a woman who had been close to Naoto’s mother.
She’d also been forcibly moved from the city - following a divorce from her husband - alongside her son Yuuta - the Yuu-kun that she referenced in the text. So, she could relate to Naoto’s struggles moving from a big city to a small town. Naoto’s train of thought delayed somewhat as he left the train, with nothing but a small bag of luggage, with clothes and important items. He placed his hat back on, and sighed as he looked in his reflection in the windows of the train that was leaving.
It was strange, actually going to a place that recognised his gender… But it would work, after all, new beginnings and all that. He left the stairs at Yasoinaba Station, and was immediately greeted by his new legal guardian.
“Good morning, Nao-kun!”
Eri Minami was a tall, slim woman. She was probably in her mid-30s, Naoto assumed. She had wavy brown hair tied into a low bun, fair olive skin, and wore a simple, pale pink undershirt tucked into a pair of burgundy trousers, paired with a pair of magenta-coloured slippers. Over her undershirt was a matching burgundy peacock coat, stitched together with a deep purple ribbon. Naoto waved at her, picking up his luggage with a muted apology.
“How was the trip?” She asked, “It’s quite hard travelling such a long distance. I’m Eri Minami, by the way, but I think you already understand that.”
“It’s nice to meet you in person, Minami-san.”
Eri laughed. “Please, no need to be so formal! We’ll basically be family for the next year.”
Naoto noticed that standing awkwardly beside her was a brown haired boy, who appeared to be about 5 or 6 years old at most. The boy hid behind Eri’s pant leg, looking down awkwardly. Eri smiled.
“Yuuta, this is Naoto,” She greeted, “Naoto, Yuuta. You’ll basically be brothers for this year.”
“Wow, must be weird hearing that for the first time, huh?” She grinned. “Don’t worry, I got the information from your grandfather before you arrived here. It might be a struggle to get binders, but you can always ask someone to make them, I guess?”
Naoto nodded. It did seem quite difficult, but Eri seemed to be helpful. She began to walk off to her car, Yuuta in tow, and Naoto was about to follow them, noticing an individual who was walking up to the station — a tall, tan skinned young man, with a grey bowlcut, wearing a black jacket over a grey turtleneck, matching grey pants, a pair of bright yellow headphones around his neck and yellow sneakers.
As Naoto was about to leave, he heard the young man call out.
“Hey.” He said, as Naoto faced him. “Is this yours? You dropped it.”
The young man walked over with a small sheet of paper, which Naoto recognised as his handwritten version of Eri’s address. He paused, blinking.
“Thanks?” He said, as the young man nodded.
“I’ll see you around, stranger.” The young man said, walking off.
Naoto paused. What a strange encounter. It seemed like this would be normal for Yasoinaba going forward…
