This was a good episode and set up everything nicely to head into the finale. The only problem I have with the rivals coming in (Megu tan and Kai) is that there isn't really any suspense involved. You have this storyline building up in the same episode where Yamato meets Mei's mom. The whole scene at Mei's house was really good and it showed that Yamato understands Mei at a deeper level. It also helped to solidify their relationship after the drama that went along with Yamato becoming a model. After putting them in a great place it's hard to imagine either of them falling for another person or even thinking that someone else would be the better choice. I'm hoping they go more down the route of helping to bring Megu tan and Kai to a better place in their own lives instead of building up tension in Yamato and Mei's relationship.

The scene is Mei's bedroom wasn't uncomfortable to me at all. In fact, I found it quite adorable. And Yamato making Mei's mom cry? Major brownie points there ;)

I like Kai. I hope everything works out for him (not with Mei, obviously) in the end.

Woah.. Nice episode^^ I feel like that girl who follows Megumi is going to do something to Mei.. -.- Also, Kai is one straightforward guy.. Wonder what's gonna happen now.. I feel that there's going to be drama >_<

I sure hope that the show doesn't mess up the story given how short that this series is going to be; currently it's stated that there's only going to be 13 episodes at the moment.. Hope they extend the.. deadline (?) per se. I actually haven't read the manga but I do hear that it's on-going and it's gotten quite far with the plot; hope the anime doesn't get ruined by how limited episodes there is left! >_<

That's just because the fall season is wrapping up. Almost all animes start to hit their climax points around this time.

sweet, yamato finally doing the right thing: REJECT THAT MEGU BITCH RIGHT IN HER FACE!!!
still really annoying how she's pretending to be friends with asami and whatnot, probably to spite mei -_-"

but still, yamato needs to take it WAAAY slower. poor mei is still innocent, and it definitely didnt seem like she was "ready"
funny how the mom came in to cockblock right at perfect moment, but pretty touching to watch her tearing up now that mei has others who care about her :')

and also, i think kai shouldve KNOCKED that guy THE FUCK OUT. that cigarette burn... ouch >.<

and now yamato has a love rival, interesting. should be a very good reason for him to stop fucking up like he has been in the previous episodes

this episode felt rushed.

I really liked first encounters between Kai and Mei on the manga. On the anime it was to quick. Didn't feel as special. On the manga their connection was so strong that it was impossible for Kai not to fall in love with Mei. But on the anime it seems like a precipitate decision.

They're a bit too similar in my opinion lol. I keep mixing up the "girl friend" characters (Asako and Asami) and they both have a very similar girl main character (even though I much prefer Shizuku).


Nah, Shizuku is badass and Mei is shy. What is similar in them imo is that they are both honest ;P


Yeah, you're right. Their personalities are quite different, but their situations are like... the same. Girl who doesn't have any friends, never had a boyfriend, misunderstood by her peers, has difficulty communicating properly (will be overly honest, but will keep lots of important stuff to herself) and all that. But exactly as you say, Shizuku is badass and Mei is shy.

I really enjoyed this episode. The love rivals seem to come out of nowhere but without them there probably wouldn't be much of a show. I haven't read the manga so I'm excited to see how this turns out with 4 more episodes.

About 21.40 minutes to the 9th episode of both series basically the same thing happens. Is this just coincidence or a normal thing to hapen in romanse anime. XD But I really enjoy watching thes two series.

I was trying to read some of the chapters from the manga and then watch the episodes as they come out, but the anime is too fast, so i'll wait until the episode comes out and then read manga up to that point.

It will be interesting to see the differences between Tonari and Sukitte moving forward. Although they both ended with another person declaring their like for the main girl, the status of the two relationships between the main characters are really different. In Sukitte, Mei and Yamato have been going out for awhile now and have come to a pretty good place in their relationship compared to where they were before. The plausibility of Kai having a big effect on their relationship seems close to 0 if not 0. Where as in Tonari, Shizuku and Haru are never on the same page and not even in an actual relationship. In this case it seems almost certain that Yamaguchi will have a big impact on Shizuku and could be argued that he works better for Shizuku in her current state.

I've never read the manga, but I also feel like there hasn't been enough encounter time between Kai and Mei to really allow for feelings to develop. It's also not a case of "love at first sight."

That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. lol at Mei being cliche and saying revenge doesn't solve anything. Nobody ever carries out revenge to "solve" things, so obviously it won't solve anything. The point of revenge is to get that satisfaction and there isn't anything wrong with it.

This is beyond stupid. Another love rival? We really don't need that. What has Kai seen of Mei for him to have feelings for her? Unless he's just saying that to rile up Yamato, which makes him the equivalent of Kimi ni Todoke's Kento.

Megumi is a dumb bimbo by the way. But I'm pretty sure that's already been established.


honestly, yamato didn't really see much before falling for mei either.
but i don't know, i'm not liking this show very much as of now. i was so struck by how beautiful it was at the beginning that i keep watching it hoping it gets better. anyway, it's just thirteen episodes. i've seen most of it already.

I didn't expect Kai to become a problem this quick if he was a problem at all. It didn't feel rushed though, but it did feel shallow. The part with Mei's mother was done really well, kudos for that.

wow a lot going off this episode:

1) megumi is just more of a bitch, and can see her doing something horrible in the next few episodes

2) bedroom scene was quite hot actually, her innocence and shyness makes it better and I don't know why, but even when mum interrupted it was really nice of Yamato to say what he did, shows he has respect

3) Kai.. well, can see where he is coming from with the bullying but like Mei said to him, what does him bullying them do for him, makes him just as bad... wasn't expecting that revelation at the end though D:

next few episodes should be interesting to say the least xD

Of course, he likes Mei, what else could he be here for? I'm actually suprised Asami and her boyfriend (can't remember the name) aren't falling for Yamato and Mei...
Megumi is planning something. I hope she won't dare to hurt Mei in any way.
Kai is weird, he isn't necessarily a bad character, it's just that he is a lot like Megumi, just thrown in here so he can try to ruin their relationship. I'm looking forward to Yamato telling him to gtfo and save his love.
I actually have a feeling Megumi and Kai might either plan something together or that they will somehow end up together.

I really liked how Yamato talked about Mei with her mother, it was pretty nice of him and it was a cute scene.
I also liked the scene before that. It was too predictable that nothing will happen though :)
But that moment when Mei's mother came in was priceless :D

Episode that takes advantage of the classic romantic comedy plot sweethearts calm and pure and chaste, so little inclined to fuss! Ah! What a joy to see them! : D
Narrative that it also follows the same guidelines, closing a bow and inizando the boy who rickshaw to lose the girl to the fault of another. Well! I am intrigued to know more now as it will move Megu-tan or hers! Uh! Uh! Uh! XD
Design and scenography sufficient animations on the same plane. Quiet colors, fit for purpose!

Thank goodness for Kai. I couldn't take this kumbaya fluff anymore. But just like School Days, things only start cooking in the final two or three episodes. That's a shame.

Although I think Yamato's morals are great, his goody-goody ways are a bore. I'm hoping that, Kai's presence will bring forth other, more exciting aspects of his personality and everyone else's. What happened to Aiko? Mei told her off and the one character who seemed to have any spunk is suddenly lame. Ugh!
