| hikaru focus this time....... So like we are getting more insight of the characters individually |
 |
| I doubt Masunaga is actually gay but I'd be a nice twist imo. I had fun with this episode, I just wish we could hear more of the songs. |

| nice episode it was good to see the strong bond between Hikaru and Tatsu and i'm glad his illness isn't life threatening or something i was worried since the nurse seemed to know him well in the previous episode btw what's wrong with Masunaga? why he's weird around Tomo i didn't understand anything can someone elaborate more please? x'D |
| The deja vu game was strong for me in this one. So, the guy who has Okita's voice is also sick? I was like "oh noes, not him again" XD It was really funny when they were talking about the cure herbs since it would be really convenient for him in Hakuouki huh xD When he started coughing blood I lost my shit "NOT AGAAAAAAAIN" D: |

Everything leads me to believe Masunaga is in love with Tomo but I have my doubts because we still have a female MC and usually this kind of anime are for the guys to fall in love with her, which I hope not because it'd be new for these kind of shows. They'll probably clear up later on as a misunderstanding. |

I agree with you in that it's unlikely that he's in love with Tomohisa, but I also doubt any of the boys is romantically interested in Tsubasa, tbh. Their relationship with her is pretty professional so far, and judging by the formula the show's currently following, it's gonna mostly focus on the boys and their interactions with each other. About Masunaga, While I think he respects and admires Tomo, it seems to me he's envious of Tomo's prince-like personality, charisma, and particularly his leadership qualities. In the first episode, if I recall correctly, he didn't seem happy with his group referring to him as their leader. He probably feels inferior to Tomo and that's why he kept refusing to accept his acts of kindness like Tomo offering him a handkerchief and a croquette. I could be completely wrong, though. |

The last part of your post is most likely what it is. Part of me wish there was some sort of romantic tension between the guys but in Masunaga's case he seems more complexed about Tomo's charisma and leadership than actually liking him beyond. I found Kento's suggestion to be pretty weird, even if I noticed Masunaga indeed acted weird around Tomo before. In episode 4 actually I thought they pretty much solved this issue. |

That would be an interesting twist, but you know how it is with these kinds of shows, it's probably just as @Lay1306 suggested, it's pure fanservice even though some of the guys would actually make cute couples (like mikado and momotaro and now hikaru and nome) |

| Very good episode! and an improvement from the last two. |

I'd also like to see more anime that seriously handle this subject, but B-Pro is supposedly a reverse harem series first and foremost, and despite Tsubusa not being the object of the boys' affection, they're still not gonna go further with all of these "hints", regrettably so. |
| Hikaru :(((( but Nome is just <3 Also I wonder... If there's something more to Kazu's actions towards Tomo. I think it's cute but then Ryuji.... |
Lay1306 said: It would be nice to see a character in these kind of anime that is ACTUALLY gay and not just fanservice queerbait OMG I am thinking the same thing!! Like, in normal society if you gather a bunch of people together, most likely some of them will be homosexual! It would be actually more realistic to have one of them being gay then none of them! Like, anime is not considered homophobic because of all the BL and stuff, but it is either EVERY SINGLE person in the story is gay, or NONE of them! So to me this is denial of the reality of sexuality. Can't we have a gay couple in a non yaoi/shonen-ai anime please! -best attempt of that being Nijiiro days so far!- |
Hikaru is precious ;_; Poor things, but so cute  I noticed this nice background  That ambiguous Masunaga-Kitakado scene though... Highly doubt it would lead anywhere in this anime. And Kitakado seems to care more for Korekuni anyway... |
 |
| I wonder what is wrong with the leader because he is acting quite suspicious. Hmm. Anyway decent episode. |
| Nice bond between Hikaru and Tatsu. Since they talked about the plant, it was too predictable. |
| So in this episode, an incurable illness. I feel like this anime is gonna throw every possible pointless cliche they can think of into the already growing pile. (My guess is Hikaru's incurable illness won't even be brought up anymore in any of the remaining episodes. lol) Also, I'm a fan of BL but someone should tell the creators/writers that it tends to work better (and pairings are more likely to happen) if they leave the characters be and let the fans ship them for themselves. All the one/two-liners insinuating that one member has feelings for the other are really unnecessary. That said, I actually like the relationship the members have with each other. I'm also liking that they're shedding light on each member and showing the life of an idol besides music... it's just a little sad to see the female MC pushed back so much. Tsubasa's starting to look like a supporting character than an actual lead. |
 . . . . . ✘ . . . . .DO NOT touch my rice. . . . . . I'm Asian. . . . . . |
| Full of energy, positive hero turns out to have serious illness - check! This time I didn't mind it that much though, Hikaru is the sweetest :3 Wonder what's up with Kazu? |
  |
| Why is Kazu acting up? O___o Esp when he's around Tomo. Weird. Tsubasa-chan not getting much spotlight lately ;A; I'm glad that godaiso plant wasn't all-healing lol. That would've been ridiculous, even if there was the ghost thing previously lol |
