Damn, Haruto. Ship Rekt. Good job making it that far - you miss 100% of shots you never take.

I can't really blame Hazuki though, I think she suspects that her friend Noriko likes him. Saying yes would probably end that friendship of hers. Not to mention the known fact that Mio likes him too. When 1) she isn't really that into him and 2) she wasn't particularly interested in dating at the moment, saying yes would mean entering a life of trouble with other girls (it's true, even Mio's other friends are on the lookout for her...).

I wonder how they'll continue from this. It's gonna be super awkward, if not outright painful for them both.

I don't even want to start with Eita and Mio. She's probably got her 'good luck in the future' big break coming in the future with this though. Eita's 'good luck' love fortune might apply more with Ena at this rate.

I was sure Haruto would be rejected, Morikawa is focused on her family and studies...but it may chance.
It was clear that Natsume would reject Eita...also, it's not the 1st time in anime that someone fall in love after borrowing an eraser, what it's kinda meh anyway...

Finally the confession of both boys! Too bad it went wrong :(

I was sure that Morikawa didn't share the same feelings to Haruto, and in the end I was right... Maybe she will change her mind later?

The feeling when you go out with the girl you love but she keeps talking about the boy she likes.
The feeling when you go out with the girl you love, have a good time but she rejects you.

It was kinda obvious for Natsume but Morikawa why? I really hope she didn't reject him because she knows Mio loves Haruto, that the worst plot twist (like since when people aren't selfish when their feelings are concerned). This series manages pretty well so far so let's hope it won't fall for usual anime cliches.

Also, Komiya is kinda straitghforward girl, I like it. She probably ends with Eita in the end, just because.

I can only say one thing, after what happened their feelings would be pretty awkward the next episode.

I did not expect Izumi's, but that was good, he was king.

Actually the Komiya x Izumi + Haruto x Natsume + Morikawa x foreveralone/hercareer/whatever route I suggested kast episode is becoming less and less unlikely. I would feel somewhat sad though if Morikawa was left out alltogether. It seems like she has other stuff going on that prevents her from engaging in any relationship, more so than not wanting to date Haruto.

I can't help but giving Izumi a virtual pat on the shoulder for holding out. Being able to stomach listening to a girl he likes talk about another guy like this is a bit much. I'm certainly not as good as him. Her cold and dismissive demeanor and the fact that she'd talk about another guy all the time, i would have said goodbye and left her without bothering to give her a reason. She wouldn't deserve it.

I'm saying this as i'm assuming she knows Izumi likes her since she's acting so cold. You have to be one hell of an cruel person if you talk about others you like when spending time with someone you know likes you.

I don't like the last parts. Natsume fails as a characters and is victimized so much. I like Komiya, she have personality and is much better. 2/5.

That gotdamn rubber technique haha

So fucking glad haruto confessed and they didn't stretch that misunderstanding over multiple episode. Morikawa thinking haruto was embarrassed to be seen together was painful. Even though he got rejected. Good ep. Liking the progress. Hope all is well.

I'm happy that they didn't skip the dog training. I felt bad for Mio as her dog somehow felt the emotion going through. The crush talk between Mio and Haruto was really awkward.

I'm glad that Ena and Eita became close, including their communication through chats. Her teasing to Eita is really funny. Somehow, I'm sensing that something is going to spark between the two.



Although I felt bad that Haruto sort of rejected the green tea offered by Morikawa.

Then we have two confessions made in one episode. I thought that the train was gonna ruin the confession of Haruto. I somehow feel bad for those two, but in the case of Morikawa, I'd understand if she has her priorities. Nonetheless, I salute their bravery for confessing.

I also don't see that by merely picking up the eraser sparked everything between Mio and Haruto. It was in a sense that Haruto stood up somehow protecting her that can put her in danger.

Pretty much there are more character developments in this episode. Although, I somehow didn't really like the way Mio acted this episode. I wonder how things will work out in the next episodes.

Also, I kinda don't like the vibe of Mio's friend. I hope they won't end up hurting Morikawa. Well, it's highschool so there may be chances..

These little shits annoying as fock.
lol at Haruto with the dog.
So Mio likes Haruto because he gave her the eraser? lol
Ena likes Eita. Yeah!!!
No, Ena! Don't NTR yourself. I want to believe you're using reverse psychology on Eita.
Haruto confessed.
OH!!!!!!!!! SHIT!!!!!!!!!

He confessed! Just at the wrong time tho.. she's very half-hearted with your best friend, and you decide to confess then and there? Damn. I know it was in the heat of the moment, but that still doesn't excuse his actions. Gotta learn to control your feelings man. I mean I guess I can't really blame him, Mio kept using excuses to justify her actions, but there's never a good excuse. On the other hand, I wonder what Morikawa's reasoning was to deny Souma. Was he moving too fast? Is it because she's 'going away' in the spring? Hmm. I'm really enjoying this so far.

So sad for Haruto, but it really was too quick so that's to be expected. Really hoping that this is just the first obstacle they overcome and in the end they become a couple! But really, Hasuki gives motherly vibes. She's so caring, helpful, and kind!

I thought Natsume had feelings for Izumi, having moved on from Haruto or something. But it turns out Natsume still has feelings for Haruto... So the entrance exams were just an excuse to escape from reality, huh? Izumi got so close to confessing, but I'm pretty sure he would've got rejected there.

I have the feeling that Komiya will end up having feelings for Izumi, and if the OP is any indication too that seems to be the case. Don't know how I feel about that.

Better episode. The first three were just okay, this one I liked at least. Still not used and not liking the animation style though.

the BGM played in the last 5 mins is so wonderful.
Overall, arguably the best episode of the series. I've rewatched this episode particularly for 5 times already...

Still slow even at the speed 1.10x..
But now I am used to this anime pace..
N yes, I can predict Souma will get rejected since Natsume's friend said she didn't like her..
It is kind of clue from the writer . .

F for Souma. The confession part got pretty intense, with the silence and train passing by, no bgm, damn.

We can finally understand how complicated it is, I think Izumi likes Natsume, Natsume likes Souma and Souma likes Morikawa, so if a=b, b=c, c=d, then a=d, which means Izumi also likes Morikawa?

But man that pained expression on Souma's face after getting rejected, feels bad man.

That conversation between Izumi and Natsume got pretty intense as well.

Souma depression arc next episode?

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P
