Yeah the childhood flashback was the highlight of the episode for me, wish to see more of em'
It's cool how she's being Ren's manager for the time being, and that she got a chance to go back to highschool

I personally thought that this episode was better in the manga. But it's nice to see Kyoko pull through the manager business :D

I thought the flashback was a bit boring for me. I found their conversations in the car to be the best and funniest of the episode. And Ren yelling "NO!" had me cracking up.

Same here!!!! XD

Also the hambuger king was so cute, and also the President getting depressed at the beginning was lol! But each episode really flys by, I found myself, yet again, desperately wanting to know what happens next! ^^

then u shouldn't have read the spoiler, but chances are good that there'll be another season and it would take them about 3 seasons to catch up to where the manga is now and prolly 4-5 seasons before they actually run out of material. so there's still hope for u to see what you're after.

That anime/manga not a love story...it's not( only) about love. I think it's more like a comedy/showbiz kind of story. And i think that in the most movies/animes the relationships made a way to fast.

It's a Japanese spa thing - just as you saw in the episode - people go to the spa to have their feet cleaned by fish....

I still just can't stand this show. It's SO annoying to me.. Too over the top, unrealistic, inconsistent... Some scenes feel forced, like they try so hard to make it meaningful when it's just not... :/

Like the part where Ren was acting even with a cold. We already know he's dedicated, and we know Kyoko's dedicated, she kept acting to the point of breaking her ankle! Why did the scene have to be so dramatic, and Kyoko so shocked and worried? Wouldn't it make more sense for her to be supportive? Then it skips to Ren collapsed on her.. (Fan service? :/) For someone who's never gotten sick in his life, that's a pretty dramatic change.

I don't know what it is for sure, but this show is so unbearable. But everyone says it's so good, so I keep waiting through the next episode for it to get better... :/

great episode :D

and what the hell everyone from the department is sick except for the president XD

Kyouko underestimated the manager work too much! i laugh how Ren protected Kyouko from the girls instead of him being protected.

wow Kyouko seems to be delighted at eating all these foods! it looks like it is indeed Ren in the flashbacks ^^

and yeah Ren is mad at Kyouko for making Shotaro the drive to go to showbiz. it's either Ren doesn't want that mindset or he's jealous that Shotaro is on her mind as always.

i love how Kyouko finally managed to outsmart Ren for the first time, i laugh at when Kyouko became a detective and began deducing all throughout the episode XD

NOOOOO!!!!

Ren is too dedicated to his work!! wow he's down with a cold and it gets worse. i hope he get's better soon!!!

Damnit Ren! Why can't you take care of yourself. Well, probably because if he was ble to, that arc couldn't exist :P
And that arc is probably needed to get them closer.

Anyway, I think that his opportunity to go to college can fix a part of her guilt over following Shotaro. If can turn the page on him, it would for the best for her.

The flashbacks are cool, I guess, but I just want them to do more with them at this point. It seems like they're using the fragmented memories as a crutch to evoke more emotion but I don't even really get the significance of him remembering her in the past. I want to see their past relationship explored more, these little scenes are not enough.

Present material is as good as always. I still want to know a bit more about her mother too. That keeps coming up but I feel like it can be explained more.

Ren drives an American car, and he drives himself at that. It doesn't really mean anything, but that kind of interesting.
