I have to say Nagisa being so emotional and not herself made the episode a wee bit dismal if you ask me but in the end it worked out and Tamoe confessing was cute but sad because I am pretty sure Nagisa is hung up on Etoile and will be for long while. Getting closer to the end, and it's getting good. Wonder what will happen

I would actually be happy with NagisaXTamao, she's a much better friend. With Shizuma I don't think they've once met each other as equals. But that's the problem, Nagisa sees Tamao just as a friend, nothing more. And that's not the way this kind of anime goes anyway. Maybe it's also the fact that Shizuma has been portrayed on such a different level of maturity, she might as well be 10-15 years older with that confidence.

Kagome is sharp, she noticed Nagisa wasn't her usual happy self. I don't blame Nagisa, trying to make Shizuma forget Kaori was an impossible task. Good thing Tamao and the others came to cheer her up. Who knows what Nagisa would have done if she had kept that facade up.

Poison Spica girls are at it again. I have a feeling Yaya will be the one to run for Etoile. I mean, she hasn't been her usual self as of late. Then in their room, Hikari got scared from Yaya being too close and thinking she would try to get at it with her again.

So much drama going on.

The cooking part was cute. They made a mess but it was worth it in the end.

Nagisa.. really, you're very sweet. and you must be feeling so much emotion. You are confused. depressed and you just needed to let it all out. I understand where you are coming from. I've had to do the same thing on several occasions myself. unfortunately I did not have many friends that I could rely on to cheer me up, at the time.. you're very lucky.

Tama, next time, make sure nagisa is awake, you have to confess to her while she's awake you silly girl.

Damn Spica bitches. rot in hell. die.

Yaya is still scary to Hikari, and I am surprised that Hikari is still in the same room with her still, knowing what she almost did to her.

Shizuma, I hope you can haer Nagisa's heart crying out for you. she needs you.

Hmmm. That's all I can really say about that ending initially, "Hmmm". I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop where Nagisa's concerned - as things stand, I don't think it'll drop too hard, but I definitely think it's there.

Miyuki, you're a fool. You should know there's no forgetting someone like Kaori, especially after what happened near/at the end. Shizuma knows it, whether she realizes it consciously or not (I don't think she does, but only because she hasn't thought about it) - she went for someone who reminds her of Kaori, but is different enough to be unmistakable for her.

I think her being the hopeless flirt/player she was when Nagisa showed up was an attempt to force her old self back out. Which, of course, was doomed to failure from the start; not only was it nearly a lost cause in-and-of itself, but I get the impression it's at a right angle to her MO before Kaori: I suspect that Miyuki was the only person she really flirted with back then.

The mood this ep ended on makes me nervous; I get the feeling that the next one's gonna club our feels on the heads again, and I don't really like the "don't worry everything's fine NOPE FUCK YOU" mode of storytelling. I'd rather lurk on the ocean floor for a couple of eps than ride a rollercoaster, if you know what I mean.

I'm seeing the potential for a certain part of my predictions to turn out very very wrong, and it makes me unhappy - not because I'd be wrong, but because I really don't want this final bit of storyline to resemble Strawberry Eggs'. There's almost no chance it'd end the same way, but Nagisa chasing Shizuma would just leave a bad taste in my mouth right now.

Those two showed up a little earlier than I anticipated, but they haven't really started making another plot yet, so eh. Shizuma's being somewhat opaque again; I wish I could tell what she was thinking.

At least Yaya isn't in trouble anymore.

Poor Nagisa, she got all up in a funk. I'm glad her friends got her out of it eventually. Poor Tamao, she should have confessed her love for her when she was awake. Plus it was sad to hear how lonely she was having a room by herself for 3 years until Nagisa turned up.

I'm also surprised Hikari hadn't asked to not be in a room with Yaya any more. She loves Amane not her though so Yaya will not have a chance.

Wow, I can't even remember how Strawberry Eggs ended, I watched that so many years ago but loved it lol.

Yeah, still no clear candidates who'd go to be elected as Etoile so far..
Em.. Why Hikari all of a sudden is afraid of Yaya showing her notes?.. Is it something more, or just one moment?..
Well, I guess it's answered that Tamao didn't date Shizuma among other girls.. As she was lonely all the time about her not having girl sharing room, and with dating Etoile, it wouldn't be on her mind all the time, really, as other problem would.. So, guess, we're kinda clear here.. And glad Tamao wasn't affected by it..
It seems that everyone managed to successfully support Nagisa.. A bit offtopic, I wonder, how support like that would work in real life.. Not sure, if great, or if bad.. I guess, what would matter in the end, that they tried?.. Hm.. Well, anyway..

Wow! Tamao is incredible, I liked how she cheered Nagisa up. The confession by the bedside made me wish it was heard by Nagisa, so she could also find happiness. People like her deserve all the happiness in the world.

Hikari is still uncomfortable towards Yaya, don't blame her though, the girl did try to have her way with her.

Thanks to Nagisa's wonderful friends, she is feeling much better now. Tamao was especially so sweet in this episode. Too bad Nagisa couldn't hear her confession.

I feel pretty bad for Tamao, but that's life man. I have a lot of respect for her because she's not really bitter about Nagisa not liking her and instead just remains as a really good friend

So Nagisa tried to hide her sadness behind her energy.
What interesting here, the kawaii autism loli was the one who understood that.
"You cried all day" - i felt that phrase.

The president of Spica is doing the right thing by wanting to make Amane a candidate for the post of Etoile at any cost. The mean villainess should not become Etoile.

And it was interesting moment when Hikari nervously moved away from Yaya. Is Hikari afraid of her now? It must be very difficult for Yaya, knowing that her beloved not only loves another, but also does not trust her.
