This brings me back. On Episode 2, Rei compromises by smoking under the vent because he wanted to smoke but can't freely smoke anywhere because there's a child in the house, as per Kazuki's reminder.
But then, on Episode 10, Kazuki reminds Misaki that she cannot smoke "here" and neither Kazuki nor Rei gave alternative places for smoking.
Of course, it could be because they think they have more important matters to talk about, but looking at Rei's face here?
It gives me the impression that the rule has long been established in the house by this point. Episode 2 Rei would have given Kazuki the stinky eye for policing someone where to smoke, but Episode 10 Rei looks just like, "Yeah, what he said."
My takeaway from this? We can safely conclude here that either Rei has made it a habit to never smoke inside the house/with Miri around, or he had stopped smoking altogether. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the previous episodes that passed by, we didn't really see Rei smoking again.
This is just one of the many changes that they experienced, so please someone tell those buddies that yes, they are changed persons. Probably not by a mile, but small steps compromised a kilometer.

I still love this anime and this adorable little family with all my heart and I'm so grateful that there are still so many people making art/fics/posts/... about them!! :')

a redraw of the beloved picture from episode 9! i made this a few weeks ago way before i watched episode 10 and 11 and man. it hurts more now
(a little spoilers for episode 11 i suppose?)
I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH,,, i absolutely lost it at the end of episode 11 because oh my god they finally realised that they are capable of giving miri "normal" happiness, and that they are deserving of the same happiness as well. kazuki and rei are choosing to lead the life they want together, and not to live one they're expected or supposed to out of duty or guilt. GOD i love them a lot

so as i was first watching the OP this particular sequence caught my eyes immediately:
that is a very distinct framing, with kazuki's back perfectly in the middle with the camera steadily getting closer, and then his ex-wife (?) "blooms" out. but, if it were to symbolize love/grief, i think the camera would've approached from the front, and the blooming would've happened in his heart/chest.
from the above sequence only, my mind immediately went "he's gonna get shot in the back" - then, as i was doing the screenshotting for this post, I noticed the part right before it:
a bullet going through a cake/muffin, which is absolutely kazuki's thing, and then this followed by what i'd call the "bullet pov", used in other movies/shows too leads me to the prediction that he is absolutely gonna get shot and i think somehow it's gonna be connected to his ex-wife.

Regardless about how you feel about Misaki Unasaka, she tried. She sincerely wanted to change and she tried. She is right in line with the themes of the show.
There is no doubt in my mind that had Kazuki not showed up, she would have made an attempt to struggle against Ogino. All for Miri.

This should be a thing actually. Like why can't Miri have 3 parents? Their family is already a spit in the face of societal norms and standard, so might as well.
