Minato Shouji Coin Laundry Season 2 Episode Recap
Akira takes his time alone to figure out his messed-up feelings. He has flashbacks of Shintaro telling him that he can share anything with Doctor Kirihara. He gets a text from Shintaro, who is worried about Akira’s absence. Akira avoids texting him.
After a while, he returns home and Shintaro explodes his bomb of questions on him. Akira avoids most of them and asks Shintaro to not enter his side of the house. Akira also speaks out of anger that Shintaro cannot share things with him but will do it comfortably with Dr. Kirihara.
This makes Shintaro question if he is jealous of his doctor. Akira refuses and their quarrel continues when they hear a knock on the door. Shintaro tries to stop Akira from opening the door in the middle of their conversation but he goes ahead anyway.
They are surprised to find a drunk Asuka at the door who hugs Akira. Shintaro is quick to separate the two and keep him away from Akira. Asuka tells him that he is afraid that Shu is going to break up with him and he wants to stay over for the night for some comfort.
Shintaro has objection but Akira allows him to stay. At night, when Shintaro notices Asuka struggling with his studies, he sits down to solve his problems. Both of them fall asleep at the study table and seeing them get along well makes Akira happy.
In the morning, he takes the boys out for a treat. After their meal, they try their hands at a lucky draw which will give them a chance to win a summer trip. Shintaro and Asuka fail but Akira hits the jackpot. However, it is not the trip they were expecting but rather a watermelon.
Keeping their spirits high, they play a game with it. After having fun, they are on the way back home but Asuka decides to let the other two enjoy some quality time together and he is done third wheeling.
After he part ways, Shintaro leaves for home while Akira goes to clean the shop. He is visited by Dr Kirihara at the shop who tells him about the trauma Shintaro faced after his waist injury. He has been in love with Akira since then and could not give up on him even though he could not swim.
Akira feels bad and confronts Shintaro. He accepts being jealous of Dr. Kirihara and also admits that he wants to be relied upon. Shintaro also confesses that he is trying to be an adult quickly so he is not a liability on Akira. Their serious talk is interrupted by Shintaro’s demand of taking a bath together.
