I thought this was an excellent episode that brings us full circle to the very beginning of this series.The anime is highlighting the tension between Tomari and Yasuna a lot more, resulting in more angst.

I've loved this ep. The last escene was pretty predictable, but it was awesome anyways.
Expecting what is going to happen with tomari, she is my favorite ^^

OMFG. Okay now shit's getting so real. The ED came at just the right time too. This anime can be cliche but it's much better than I have anticipated.

1) seriously that dad's getting a bit upsetting...

2) in a world that preaches so much about diversity and individualism why do lesbians have to be monogamous to begin with?

I liked this episode. I disliked Yasuna initially becuase of how she was acting, but now that I have an explanation, she's ok. (I like Tomari better, though).

Hazumu's dad is seriously creeping me out...

That Kiss, that Backstory, that Ending! Damn this sure is getting good and well I really wonder why she can't see man but well at least we know the truth now and the story and characters sure are developing quite lovely!

Ugh ugh ugh I have a feeling Hazumu's going to hook up with Yasuna partly (she liked her anyway) because he feels sorry for her >__> My heart aches for you Tomari!

The aliens were tolerable. Everything was fine until...

She cannot see men? Really? This is the episode that turn turned this anime from a 9 to a 8, imo.

This is an old favourite of mine, i've seen it a few times now.
I thought i should mention that Yasuna has what would be clinically diagnosed as Prosopagnosia. In the anime it's an exaggerated gender-biased one that has particular significance to the overarching story.

Please tell me that wasn't a spoiler. Like, why does anybody have to be monogamous? If they want to, fine, but...

I also have to say that the fact that she could kinda (mostly?) see male-Hazumu, had I had both pieces of information to work with, would've been a hint to me that Hazumu's gender identity was at least malleable if not mismatched with his body, and that Yasuna can see beyond the surface more clearly than most people. Perhaps a compensation for her inability to see half of the population clearly at all?

Hm, drawing Hazumu.. Yasuna is totally in love with Hazumu, hm..
Welp.. That's whole another level biology teacher.. ;D Well, he's alien with more knowledge, after all.. ;P Still, that's like such cool level teacher..
Honestly.. With how girls can't have babies together anyway.. Why they just don't make it trio relationship, instead of couple?.. Who cares, really, in this case.. Not like they'd be able to marry as well in Japan.. And even if laws will change, it still will only be a symbol, for yuri couple.. So who cares, really, I say.. Just make it trio, and that's all.. If that's what you want.. I have no idea, what Tomari wants..
Ah, so that's what Yasuna meant by causing troubles to others.. Well, yeah.. Yasuna probably ran into some troubles, by not being able to distinguish one boy from another..
And so that Hazumu wouldn't disappear in Yasuna's eyes again.. That's why she rejected him.. Yeah, makes sense, then..
Well, it's admirable that Yasuna in the end still seeks what she wants.. I only wish that both Hazumu and Tomari will decide, what they want themselves as well..

To be fair for Hazumu, I don't think she could ever figure out that Yasuna can't see guys unless if Yasuna tells her directly (which happened in the episode).

I loved the ending scene. Especially with Tomari catching them. Next episode is definitely going to be spicy. Ohhhhh, and the next episode preview even has her trying to kiss Hazumu.

Those sunflowers were hilarious. x3

Hazumu's dad is such a creep. I wonder why his wife doesn’t want to divorce?

Poor Tomari.

So, Yasuna can't see men, but she could always see Hazumu. Perhaps it's due to the extremely feminine qualities she had, even before her transformation. In a way, it's possible that Yasuna has always been a lesbian, even if she didn't know it.

The two have kissed, and Tomari walked in on it. What will happen to Tomari?
