----------------------------------------
Yamato and the track team are headed to an Inter-High event in Hiroshima. As he continues to feel distanced from Suzuka, Honoka continues to feel distanced from him. Feeling rather down, he decides to focus his energies on training. And so it is at the field where Honoka finds him that night. She’s noticed that he’s not been feeling well and tries to help him. After cheering him up, she turns around to see Suzuka at the top of the stairs. Yamato also starts to turn around, but, not wanting him to see Suzuka, Honoka leans forward and kisses him. For the next day, that kiss remains on his mind.

Then, watching Suzuka mobbed by reporters on the field after winning third place, Yamato finally takes Honoka’s hand on his own volition. After dinner that night, he is thinking about his situation with both Suzuka and Honoka when the latter shows up. A fish in the nearby pond splashes water onto Honoka, causing her to jump into Yamato’s arms. She tilts her head up for another kiss, but Yamato looks away, unsure of what to do. Seeing Honoka start to cry and starting to understand her feelings, Yamato leans down towards a surprised Honoka. Miki walks by looking for him, and astonished to see him kissing Honoka.

Perfect episode. If I drop the anime now, I can see myself looking back on it with fond memories in the future.

I'm really glad for Honoka, though I hope Yamato isn't just settling for her. Also interesting that Miki is the one that finds them and not Suzuka.

You know for a fact that Yamato is going to end up with Suzuka by the end of this series so I'm not even going to bother keeping my hopes up for Honoka.

Best girl draws first blood! But sadly, the name of the anime is Suzuka and not Honoka.

And damnit Akitsuki you're reaching Ichika density levels.

Honoka finally made her move, a helluva of a good one too.
I'm so glad she didn't apologize or say anything, she's just like "hold dat shit."

Even though this was a strong first strike, you gotta hope that Yamato doesn't go into this relationship half-heartedly otherwise they'd both end up hurt.

Yamato says he feels a different happiness when with Honoka; I think this means that he feels that he doesn't have to be anything else, he doesn't have to prove himself, he can just be himself with Honoka.
Unlike with Suzuka where he constantly feels that he has to catch up to Suzuka because she's so "faraway" from him. He might be saying that he feels too much pressure.

Let's Go Honoka, don't let up!

Honoka is the true waifu material. While Suzuka is the type of girl who will drive you nuts, but push you to be a better person your entire life.

Date Honoka and you will have a happy, relaxed, but average life.
Date Suzuka and things will get exciting.

Hot damn, Honoka goes in for the kill! Even Yamato admits to thinking nothing but Honoka for now. Now Yamato returns the favor!

Honestly would prefer this route but we all know it ain't happening... Man this ep feels like it's the best one yet.

"Oh she kissed me. What does that mean?"

I did not know that teenagers were brainless like that.
