Wow, I never expected Saeki to react like that. I thought she would be freaked out like how a typical girl would react to that situation.
But I guess that means that she really loves him.

The fact that he's running away even after Saeki accepted what he had done proves that he isn't worried about Saeki's approval, he's worried about the approval of the Saeki he has created in his head which is really just himself. He likes being with Nakamura because she treats him like shit and it complements the fact that he hates himself. He needs to learn to love himself before he can love Saeki.

Ok, dumb MC
I thought he would have turned on the machine machine to clean his clothes. What was he thinking just putting them into the machine and waiting for them to be discovered...

What is wrong with Saeki-san?
Why is she going through such lengths to reach to Kasuga-kun? Just because it was the first person to get a love confession from? She doesn't know anything about him, just that he likes books a lot. Which is the only thing I know about him too.

Also he's an awful boyfriend, he doesn't say anything, do anything.
When no one noticed that he was the one responsible, there should have been such a load of his shoulders to be able to think a bit more clearly. When you see your girlfriend on the floor crying/troubled because of gym clothes, you could at least try to comfort her. Even though you're the reason for her troubles, but she doesn't know that.
I really don't get what she sees in that useless guy.

Pretty sure she did, might also be the reason why she noticed the clothes.

Anyway, Saeki took it pretty lightly, in fact she encouraged it, because it's "normal".
Really liking this show, it has a very unique vibe to it.
Clearly Kasuga has made his own version of Saeki in his mind, with him still being concerned about everything, even though his girlfriend says its fine.
His mother acted quite calm aswell, he could've just explained it to her but instead runs away, because he doesnt "fit" in this town.
Poor mom though :/

I was hoping to see Saeki and Katsura fight against Nakamura, the crazy bitch, in some way, but that doesn't seem like it's going to happen.
I feel bad for Saeki. She shouldn't have to put up with these weirdos.

This loser let this girl call his mother a retard and then chose her over his supposed "muse".

He is always running somewhere. He's not gonna become a man over night, but by the end of this, I'm at least expecting him to stop running away from his problems and insecurities. He keeps running to the person causing ALL of his problems. Makes no sense.

Wow, Kasuga is a total dick, even to his mom.

I'd love to know what the heck is happening inside Nakamura's head. She wants to leave "this shithole", but it's not like she can actually do anything. She's a rude middle-schooler, incapable of coexisting in society, she might live in freaking Tokyo, and still achieve nothing :v I wonder what's gonna happen to her.

"Just tell me, not Nakamura!"

Like holy shit dude, I would have switched to team Saeki a long time ago and blame it all on Nakamura. You're not going to find a more perfect wife material even if you search for your whole life.

I honestly expected her to react like that, be happy over him stealing her gym clothes...even though it seemed like the wildest theory for me. His mom seems to be willing to listen, Saeki was gonna forgive him, he had a chance to come back, yet he ran away afraid of consequences...well, it's expected, I'm hoping he doesn't decide to do something like end his life, so far didn't seem to consider it.

Can't Kasuga see how messed up Nakamura is and stay away from her? She's the source of all his misery.

Seeing Kasuga's mother and Saeki at the end made me sad.
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you!

Gotta respect Saeki for shouting to Kasuga like that.

I guess Nakamura for Kasuga is sort of his first friend, unlike Yamada which is like a fake friend... which is why he feels at ease near Nakamura...

Still cant figure out why saeki likes this guy lol. Guy literally has a girl who likes him and will even forgive him for everything he has done but he will avoid her and instead go to the crazy bitch. Teenagers, amirite?

Kasuga is so mean towards his mom.

Huh, another dumb moment of a character screaming something outside and somehow nobody hearing it but Kasuga. Heck, he heard Saeki when she was outside, but she was not loud enough for Kasuga's mom or anyone else to hear words asking Kasuga about why he had stolen her gym clothes.

@backspacerp, I have a theory that Saeki might be only slightly less derailed than Nakamura and Kasuga.

Pretty soul crushing stuff, especially with saeki and Kasuga's parents, I'm pretty much feeling bad for everyone except Nakamura. Screw her. But I don't know what's going to happen now.

saeki is wife material for taking that so well I'm suprised indeed. I predict m.c is going to fumble her somehow.
