Loved the storyline this episode, and to see that it will have a continuation episode makes it all the better!

So Masa has developed some balls now that one of his friends is in trouble. But will his resolve stand if he is faced with a fight?

Masa is such a cool guy. I love how he didn't hesitate to help Matsu, despite his lack of confidence. Great episode (just like all of the others.)

Still the best show of the season.

Nice episode. I also enjoyed the story line and development in this episode. So far this is my favorite anime of the season.

Matsu should have been more careful in his attempt. Isn't his skill in the group his good information gathering skills. HE should have done his proper research. But all in all this was a great episode.

IT is great that even if Ume and Matsu do not get along they are still friends.

Impressive episode. I love that Masa is finally starting to make headstrong decisions for himself, rather than awkwardly following along.

I think i'll bump this up to a 9, actually. It's easily the best show of the spring quarter.

Really enjoyed this ep, I like Matsu a lot more now. And yay, Masa is being more active! I still want to see more of Utake's background, though. Hopefully that'll be after the next ep.

Man I love Yaichi's voice. I could listen to him speak alllll dayyy.

Somehow I both love and hate the slow atmosphere of this show. It's both absolutely fitting the story and making me have a hard time to keep my attention on it week for week. And yet it's one of my favourites this year. Just weird.

Thing is how will Masa save him without being caught? I would assume they would know the identity of the person they hired. Then again accusing somebody of releasing a kidnapped person is hard to do, but i can't wait to see the resolution to this arc!

I think as long as the fight isn't watched by many people, he will be okay. Like shown in episode one, he can handle the attacker and protect Ichi well.

Hmm, wouldn't it be 'de gozaru?' I haven't paid attention to how he says it, but the で is proper grammar... (For that matter, I'd even use 'が' rather than 'は' in this case).

Well this is certainly picking up the pace. The transition between scenes was very fast for this show. Kinda surprised me there.

I hope Masa gets him out.

Sakurai is the main reason I picked up this anime xP (btw, Mononoke. Just...Mononoke. He doesn't speak much there, but when he does...*__*)

Anyway, yay! Masa is overcoming his shy personality :D Go Masa!

Masa is sure grown in my eyes in this episode~

Man, that guy will have so much debts by the end...

Masa to the rescue. I'm not sure if I would feel to good knowing that Masa was going to rescue me. He's a good swordman and a nice guy, but he lack a bit of subtility xD

Ume getting worried about Matsu. You're not honest with yourself Ume :P

I wonder why Yaichi reacted like that when he saw Yagi. He seemed to despise him somehow.

Great episode! I'm sad already this Anime has only 12 episodes! That Yagi is also mysterious guy, on the one hand he helps Masa but on the other he has also heard of Yaichi and whatever happened at that time... Can't wait to see the next episode!

Looks like we're closer to the conclusion now. I'm enjoying this anime more and more.
