Aww, this episode was really sad. I got a bit teary eyed towards the end. Poor Nowaki. <3

xD Although the part with the bear after was really funny.

I'm sad they broke up but it's Nowaki's fault for not sending any mails.

And we finally get to see Miyagi. Can't wait to see the last character.

The noodle bear was cute. But didn't Usami have two bears?

I thought this was really sad. He still loves him and yet he is trying to hide it as usual just like Misaki is with Usami but Usami doesn't let him get away with it though.

I love this anime!!
I think Hiro did the right thing, if my lover left for a year, I'd definitely break it up. But he treated him really bad so... I guess they are even..
The other teacher guy is so kawaii:)

Although it is Nowaki's fault that he didn't send any meassage to Hiro, Hiro is also to be blaimed that he din't listen to Nowaki when he tried to tell Hiro his plan to study abroad.

Aww. Poor Nowaki... I thought Hiro had already forgiven him but seems like he hadn't (or was it even the main reason for their break-up?). Those two are just sooo sweet ^^ I hope the next ep will be about them, but it'll probably be about Misaki and Usagi again..

The extra with the bear was so awesome, I laughed a lot during that.

But the rest was kinda sad. I hope they'll get back together eventually, they were an angsty but cute couple. =3

Though it's not as bad the manga I suppose - volume three just ends on the 'It's Over' postcard Q____Q

Waaahhh~ T_T What a depressing episode. D:

Though I can understand Hiroki being mad over Nowaki, I still think that breaking up the way he did was just out of line. He could have at least done it in person; sending a postcard is just about as bad as breaking up with someone by text messaging. >.< And in the end, the relationship falling apart is the fault of both of them. We could see in the flashbacks that Hiroki was always preoccupied over his own work and studies and didn't even hear out Nowaki's thoughts and opinions. I bet you Nowaki was even speaking of studying in the US.

*sigh* This episode had be freaking out a lot over their relationship falling apart. Just love each other dang it! D:

.....Hiro is so freakin hot.....lol

Weird episode. Everything moved so fast! I thought was watching Junjou Romantica 2 or something...
Anyway, sad episode, but I like when yaoi couples fight because of society pressure or lack of communication. It's fun!~~
BUT MAN, THE BEST PART: PSYCHO NOWAKI. I laughed so hard with the psycho stare he gives to that sensei, oh my Gandalf. LIKE "I WILL STAB IF YOU COME CLOSER TO MY BELOVED HIRO-SAN" . ~chills~chills~ BWAHAHAHAAH

What a shitty couple those 2 are.
Guys who aren't out of the closet yet shouldn't get a boyfriend. Get out, become confortable with yourself.
This guy explains it better:

Then again, it's funny in anime, when done right. They didn't do it right with this couple, they did it right with the other couple(don't know about the 3rd couple yet).

That running animation when Nowaki was chasing Hiro looked so weird.

I feel the same way but I know what is going to happen next so not going to say anything

But still was a sad episode but I still love the series so much that even with a sad episode I can watch it again and again this is my fourth time sitting down and watching the first season I have only had a chance to watch season 2 once so when I get to season 2 that will be a second time but yeah still enjoy the series regardless.

I find it really weird that they dated for six years and Nowaki STILL called him "Hiro-san."

Anyway, I don't blame Hiro for breaking up with Nowaki. I would have done the same thing, though I realize that it seems he was partially to blame for not listening. However, if something like that was going on for so many years, I figure most people would have ended it a while ago.

I love misunderstandings (as you can tell by my signature), so I found it amusing when the professor came in and started acting all lovey-dovey to annoy Hiro and Nowaki took it seriously. If he wasn't so panicked he probably would have realized that Hiro doesn't like PDA like that and that there was likely nothing going on between the two. I hope they work it out. I'd also really like for Hiro to meet up with Usagi again. They can be bros, lol.

One of my favorite episodes.

Being treated by Hiro like that, I feel bad for Nowaki.

So sad to see Hiro and Nowaki's broken relationship. I hope things will work out soon.

As for the 'bear' part, I thought that was hilarious and it brighten my mood after feeling sad about Hiro and Nowaki not being together.

Awhhh :'( my heart hurts for Hiro-san TT^TT I feel like Nowaki was doing something for their relationship and that's why he goes off on his own to surprise Hiro with something. Maybe ;3 I hope they make up and come to an understanding.

the souvenir part was hilarious doe lololol XD
