so it seems there going for the love triangle thing then...

although, Yamato has made it clear that he's not interested in Megu during the first part of the episode, and until proven otherwise I believe him, Mei just obviously has self doubt, because Megu is a model etc etc, but she was the one who told Yamato to go to the shoot in the first place.... I did feel for her though during, it must be hard to see someone you like be like that with someone else other than yourself whether that's just for the camera or not......

Trite model cliche (ugh) + trite love triangle cliche (ugh) + Mei not seeming to open up at all no matter what (and literally jumping/blushing EVERY time Yamato touches or looks at her in the exact same way) = I am getting really bored.

Yamato does something to make mei sad. They make up. Rinse and repeat...... seriously this show isn't what i wanted it to be. The plot is to predictable


QFT. The last episode with Yamato's little sister was probably the only above average episode so far, imo.

Mei hitting the cookie with the hammer was hilarious.

I really hope the rest of this show won't continue this trend of characters showing up just to mess with their relation.

Also, Yamato should have known better to don't agree to the photo shoot. Of course it would make Mei upset and hurt her. I mean he already showed how he could overcome these kind of situations, because he knows what could potentially hurt Mei. Getting into a popular magazine with an other girl with the theme being love...
Megumi is pretty annoying, I hate these kind of characters. The only good thing about her is her having the voice of Mugi (Kotobuki Minako) from K-On!.

Quite a turn in the atmosphere compared to the last ep.
I enjoyed the last ep, this one...meh...
Gotta say Megu's befuddled face like 10min in was priceless! I like that Yamato stands up so strongly for his feelings towards Mei.

Here we go again...another rival appears. The second she decided to apologise about throwing herself rather pathetically at Yamato and be all nice I was thinking 'What's this little witch up to now?' and then the fact that the photoshoot was all about a couple on a date made it so obvious what she was trying to make clear to Mei.

I'm hoping for a good confrontation where Mei slaps that bitch down.

It's really sad seeing Mei in a depressed state. The people at Mei's school sort of comment on purpose how Megu and Yamato look like a natural couple.

Mei feels like she's not good enough for Yamato since Megu from Mei's point of view feels superior, much more beautiful, and wealthier. The only people Mei could really trust right now is her mother and Nagi. Nagi because both Mei and Nagi can relate to each other, but still it's sad seeing Mei depressed.

Looks like Mei still can't get the cookies to taste good.

Come on Mei! If she realized how much Yamato actually cared for her, she wouldn't be running into these problems. You can't blame her though, she's been used to being the ignored/lonely/inferior person for nearly her entire social life.


Okay you have a point, but at the same time you would think that Yamato would realize t he effect seeing him and Megu together would have on Mei. I'm not saying it's entirely his fault, but he really needs to learn to say no to people. It's not like the agency couldn't have found someone else who is already in the profession to help with the shoot, and now he is opening himself up to Megu's manipulation of him. Especially when Megu has already confessed to him, if my boyfriend got asked out the way he did, then not only not tell me, but continue to get as friendly as Yamato gets with Megu, then even if I have confidence in myself I'm going to start feeling the way Mei does.

Mei may be in the wrong too for not telling Yamato that she doesn't want him getting close to Megu, but considering all she has gone through she probably doesn't want Yamato to hate her for saying it. But damn considering the playboy Yamato used to be you'd think that he would be able to understand a girl's jealousy even a little bit. Ugh and it's just going to get worse to, just wait he'll continue to act this way with Megu, or keep modelling, maybe even both and he'll hurt Mei to the point where we all hate him for having the type of personality he has.

Ohhh, a beautiful girl is suddenly transfered plus she's a model? How original.
Nah, seriously though, I find these kind of plot device to drag the story not very interesting.

Anyway, from what I understood, it seem to me that Yamato is trying to make Mei jealous. He looked annoyed when she barely reacted to the fact that something had happened between him and Megu. If I had to guess, I think that he's scared that she's not attached to him or that she doesn't care about their relationship.

Ugh, that will make so much stupid misunderstanding that will probably last awfully long... I hope I'm wrong.

And a new rival/conflict... a model.

I still think Yamato is a pushover and is likely to cheat on Mei at some point, but he did keep her first by initially refusing to do the modeling interview because it would conflict with his walk home with her. Nobody else was keeping Mei's interests in mind.

Megu is annoying. I'm sure she suggested the whole "having a date" idea. And I bet she'll want to have a kiss photo as well to destroy Yamato's relationship.

I think Mei's bad self esteem is too much. It's annoying already.

This was literally painful for me to watch.. I couldn't stop crying. I had to stop the episode at one point just to calm myself. It's just that I feel exactly like Mei.. I'm kind of the "inferior girl" with my boyfriend, and people say that he could do better than me, or that he makes a better couple with another girl, or whatever.
But I know he loves me.. so I don't worry.


at least your BF doesn't like you because you kicked him to kingdom come.

It's just the painful sting of hearing comments like that.. and the fear it instills in you. I know exactly what Mei is going through :/ I'm also like her in that I don't tell my boyfriend what I'm really feeling inside so that he is happy. Like with the whole walking home thing, you know that Mei wants Yamato to walk her home, but she dismisses it anyways. Just so much like me, it made me super emotional throughout the episode...


then you and mei need to stop caring about others if you just said you didn't worry about it.


I just want Mei to remember that Yamato loves her, a lot, it's so apparent, and that makes me happy.


she can't hear you over her loud insecurities.


However, I want to warn Yamato too about Megu.... I hated the way he warmed up to her and the photo shoot nearing the end, I kept thinking of my own boyfriend doing that, and me watching it, and it was super painful :/


that is easy to take down. she said "think of someone you like" right? so obviously it's not meg but mei he's modeling with.

i have never been so bored in my life looking at the first half of the show. all that happened was talking and walking back home. literally nothing of significance happened.

the second half was even more ridiculous. even for mei being my hero when she denied to be that dude's "friend", she is now whipped around into the cleche braindead shoujo MC.

firstly, the scene when she felt lonely walking home alone was nothing if not reminiscent of the notorious cringe of twilight. bella feels so alone not being around her edward just like how mei is. IT'S JUST ONE TIME. does he need to be around you every second of your life after school?

second, the model idea was literally a recipe for disaster, and i mean literally.

ingredient 1: have plain looking girl MC
ingredient 2: a "gorgeous" (i say "gorgeous" because the plot says he is, he doesn't look that way at all to me) BF MC that has literally no reason to like her let alone love her
two dashes of meaningless supporting characters
a whopping tablespoon of stupidity that no-one can see yamoto's modeling will make strife

animate a full episode and you're good to go!

thirdly, how can mei be so confident on what friends she should and should not have, and then she can't see the obvious with yamoto (temporary) modeling? not only that, but she turns into the most insecure mouse in the world looking at how yamoto models with his friend, when yamoto would LOVE to do that with her, but then she would get the wrong idea and mentally squeal about how much he's going to rape her. she wouldn't even be feeling this if she was more open to yamoto (who she STILL can't even get on A FIRST NAME BASIS WITH) this wouldn't go this way. but we need her to be that way in the first place, so we can write some of the crappiest "tension" into the story!

and to top it all off, she's a literal retard when it comes to cooking. oh wait, even a retard would to better than her.

fourthly, WHY DOES YAMOTO LOVE MEI. THERE IS STILL NO LEGIT REASON. i think i'm slowly hating this show, which is bad since i fooled myself into thinking an anime with sex in it can be taken with maturity.

P.S. just like how i think yamoto is not handsome, megumi is freaking UGLY with the freaking ugly eyes and eyelashes.

P.P.S. where the heck is the slut dude for mei and slut girl for yamoto?????

Yup. Almost 20 now though. In some appreciation for my younger self, my boyfriend back then did end up cheating on me, so I suppose my insecurity had been warranted, lol. Still doesn't forgive the show, though. :P

I think this anime isn't very good at handling stereotypical relationship issues :( Of course it's a romance anime but is it too much to ask to have a bit more ideas than to include this stereotype of girl that's supposed to make her jealous etc.

And Yamato, at first I was proud because you directly rejected her...and then you took a 180 turn and even went to a shooting with her (for no apparent reason, not like you two became buddy-buddy within those few days that it would really have been necessary)

It's frustrating me :/ I had high hopes for this one but the episodes just leave me bored T-T let's hope again for the second half

Seems I'm the only one who sees it's also Mei's fault for seemingly trying to make Yamato stay away from her.

And I just find this very ridiculous that Mei is still calling him by his first name yet she will let him kiss her. Are Japanese women don't know how to set their priorities or importances right? Are they really more embarrassed on calling someone by their first name than letting them to kiss them? I thought they're extremely sensitive by getting only touched, even the slightest touch, and kiss should be the highest level of their sensitivity(Excluding making out). Another +1 point that it proves she's trying to make Yamato stay away from her.

This is not an embarrassment anymore but this is more on being half-assed.
