Whoa, Ringo became a little chubby ;o

Ah tomatoes...
I feel like Kousaku and Ringo grew closer this episode. I smell some yuri undertones Lol @ the end though. Poor Kousaku, I don't think that's the happy end he wants.

This ep. is more serious (there's still funny moment from "Shitennou", but not too funny) and educational.

Vegetable meal, and getting fat. Oh, they got skinny fast!

Plant got sick, which affecting the dirt. Saving the tomato. Ex-idol girl being confused over everyone trying their best on saving them. Her confession that she knows about the vegetable sent to her, as well as the letter and photo sent by the childhood girl. So she's into the person who write the letter. The two girls became closer in relations.

LOL @ Ringo and Minori's fatness.
Dere-dere male xD
It's good to see Minori and Ringo get on well despite their love rivalry, but Kousaku's expression on this was funny. I thought Ringo and him will improve their relationship but it didn't go in that way.

DAT TWIST XD

So all this time she was in love with Minori not Kousaku hahaha XD

That bonding moment at the end was cute.

Loved the serious mood with Ringo and Kousaku's conversations. Was pretty nice ^^

It's like I'm being lectured on how farming is and how to take care of them :D. LOL Ringo and Minori fighting.

Ringo and her sympathy of soybeans, felt bad for her that those plants need to go.

Oh wow, so Minori is the one that sent the letters to Ringo. I have weird feeling that those two are really close at the end... LOL on Kousaku's face.

I am learning different things like Soybeans convert Nitrogen in air to Nitrogen Compound. Things I don't expect when I started watching anime.

Even if this episode lacks the usual comedy stuff, I still enjoyed watching this episode. The story and drama about agriculture is really good. I must say they shown us the value of friendship.

Good thing the Top 4 did appear in this episode. Tho I want more Becky scene. Too bad she didn't appear.

That Yuri scene was kinda sad and funny. Again, Ringo is really cute in this ep.

As long as Ringo gets more screentime, I can handle it.

Well I learned about nitrogen fixation in high school so you might have very different curricular (or you are still in middle school? In that case you will be underage for this anime)

By this ridiculous idiocy of the two, or Kousako dara more ball for both new and will have many more beautiful girls who behind him was two idiots.
The two were little fool the rest of the anime chasing behind him and he had not called.
This attitude of MC is yes, if all MCS when they were trampled and battered começasem for the ball to these idiots girls animes would be better.
This according to the light novel that has 7 volumes.
I want Ringo and Minori go to hell

Everybody gets fat by eating Minori's vegetables.. That stomach sumo match between Ringo and Minori was funny!

They lost their weight pretty fast!

*Flashback*
Minori: (Sobbing) "I'll never get married with a body like this! What'll I do?"
Kousaku: "Married? It looks like you're already pregnant." XD

"Southern Blight" deals a tough blow on everyone.. Kei was cool this episode as well. :)

Loved that "Farming's Top Four"'s arrival scene. Akari's censored title was a bit long. Kanegami is ready to sell a thousand copies.
Miyamoto's "dere" style of talking was too hilarious! X'D.. Way to steal Akari's lines.

Tomato picking in the rain was a cool scene. Kousaku's open thoughts to Ringo was even cooler!
Letters mystery is revealed. Kousaku expected something from Ringo but Minori gets it all. XD. Sensed a little bit of "Yuriness" there..

Good, I'd prefer if they can keep the tone more towards educational tidbits about farming instead of the unfunny jokes.

I must admit that forest guy acting dere was funny though. Now we know why the ED focused on Ringo and Minori so much, turns out they are the OTP of this show XD

That was an educational episode. I didn't know that's the reason tomatoes split, that there's actually a soil-based disease and soybeans can produce nitrogen. I don't do gardening but hey I learned something new today. Might be useful in the future :p

The yuri field was so strong omg lmao! What an awesome twist! No wonder the episode is called Sob Salad. Kousaku's tears lol!

Ok, so Hata may sending Ringo some veggies, but it was Minori who is writing to her and so it went yuri from there.


So, the crops are affected by some fungi, geeeezz, don't them Jap's ever heard of fungicides, to keep those fungi at bay?

If only I could lose weight that easily...

So it's finally revealed how Ringo found out about their school and Kousaku.
Quite a bit of disappointments this ep with all that ruined crops...

Kousaku just lost Ringocchi to Minoppio.
Definitely not the happy end he was looking forward to.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

Great stuff about agriculture this time and the seemingly waste corps can be used in different ways to consume
That sumo part felt kind of random, but I liked the "last fatty standing" remark

There was some nice development within the friend circle as well with a Yuri ending :P

A mostly serious episode with character development and plot? What the fuck happened? I mean, it's one of the best episodes of the entire series so far, but it came so far out of left field that it was probably thrown by a team playing a separate game.

How old are you, 7? Don't drop an entire show based off an assumption. It'll probably get back to the love triangle nonsense in a week or two. Also, if the love triangle was the only reason you're watching this show, I'm surprised that you haven't dropped it already. I mean, the show is usually either parodying something or playing around with extreme cliches.

After gay jokes, now we have yuri. This reveal makes me slightly uncomfortable. At least they are not romantically attracted to each other like in anime
I'm gonna fool myself by suggesting it was friendship between girls.
