Great episode

I just realised, the couples all match up if Tenma goes out with Karasuma, but not if she goes out with Harima... That's a bit meh because I think Harima is so much cooler than Karasuma.

The cosplay cafe thing was funny, so was the bishounen cafe idea that Hanai got, where they all ripped off their shirts to reveal Host Club-esque outfits. LOL

Yeah this is extremely funny. Another really funny series I have seen is Seto no Hanayome...some really crazy stuff in it. This episode was good...had a nice little side story at the end too.

I enjoyed the part with Harima's little brother, as well as the part when Karasuma asked her to walk home together.

Nope, they're still in class 2-C, so this is just carelessness by the show's creators, or perhaps a conscious retcon to make the cake joke work. In the episode before, Karasuma indicates that Tenma had missed his birthday, but he doesn't say by how much. That doesn't do much in the way of explanation though, since Tenma would have had to missed his birthday by nearly a year (i.e. his birthday would have been "coming up", not that she "missed it").

Tenma x Karasuma is beginning to look like the more likely outcome. I'm starting to like the idea of Harima x Eri, anyway...

And yeah, what is up with Karasuma having two birthdays in one year...? Lucky guy. o_O Or maybe unlucky, if he's aging twice as fast, ahah.

I loved the Tenma and Karasuma development, I've been waiting for something nice to happen with them, the last thing was the dream (with his preivous birthday, the cat, the "i love you" etc) from the previous season.. finally something happened again :D

Great episode, too bad the first 3 episodes were a bit lame compared with the previous and this one :)

What the hell!/ They were running a hostess club!? Can they even do that!?

Really cool that HArima won that award! Awesome.

I cringed when Harima tripped on that cake and messed it up. That was horrible. I couldn't think of the bad repercussions that were gonna happen.

It made Tenma cry! That's the last thing Harima would want. Glad Karasuma was there to comfort her.


The more Tenma x Karasuma moments the more likely it's gonna be that. I don't mind that pairing. Glad Karasuma is getting more screen time. Still want to know what made Tenma fall in love with Karasuma though. Hope we learn that later.

Cute little side story after the ED.

Wait a minute, I don't get it. Wasn't Karasuma's birthday in the first season finale? Does this take place the year after? Does this take place before? Was that episode non-canon? Or is Karasuma just so inexplicable that he has two birthdays within the same year? I don't get it.

Either way, a good episode. The ending was sweet.

Lol Tennouji has a cute little sister, remembering me to Akagi and Haruko in Slam Dunk..

I wish Yakumo can find someone she can love, and that lucky guy can love her back..

So this episode focuses on Yakumo mostly? i like her also, but I think it would be better to pair her with someone else and Hanai would be really the best.

I want to some real pairs finally beside the less important characters

I felt sorry for Tenma cake being ruined ;(

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

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

Hahahaha the cake part was hilarious as heck.... Ah, no wonder story doesn't exist in this anime, considering goddamn Karasuma's birthday happen at the end of the last season...no, a year DIDN'T pass, since Kenji said he begun drawing manga 3 months ago this episode.

Poor Yoshidayama, the author really thought things up when he named the characters, here we had the "ma" which could mean either harima or karasuma and in the first season we had bloody Harry McKenzie. Too many misunderstandings as always.

I love this episode especially the roleplay cafe. My favorite part was the Osamu Tezuka roleplay. Yakumo looks surprisingly cute dressed like that :D

Itoko is so sexy in that maid costume! It's no wonder class 2-C didn't stand a chance.
Poor Harima. It looks like the relationships between Tenma & Karasuma are progressing somewhat offscreen.
WTH! That was Tennoji's younger sister? Hahaha!

Saeko... what you're doing?

Stop being hard on yourself, Tenma. You are pretty. Ironically, way better than Akira. Anegasaki unsufferable as usual.

Mischievous Tenma when she sees Harima's name on a cake. Yes... but no.

"OH NO, I TRIPPED" "Even if it's just Yoshidayama, you went too far" LOL, the disrespect.

Now it's easy to ask if all those last names ending in -ma were planned to begin with.
