Oh damn, another sweet and nice episode. Although, I wish the kid didn't cockblock the kiss, damn it.

Also, nice change of the OP visuals.

Maybe some fans will feel sympathy for Chinatsu, she make herdelf looks like a victim even though she knows everything. I think her relationship with Mizuno will become a little bit awkward later...

extra: I kind of like setsuko & nagahara short but i think setsuko is masochist, she even go a long with him for the last time.... LOL

Maybe too many shorts at the end of the episode, cut it short.
But, surprisingly the drama didn't drag out too long. Wish they kissed after the interruption.

look like there is almost no possibility of drama here in this series, hoping to see one lol. it might happen tho if they decide to make more than 12 or 13 eps.

I don't know what to think of Chinatsu, to be honest. She was trying to hog Azumi's attention to herself in the beginning, then I kinda felt bad when she saw Azumi and Akane together. It'd be interesting to see how her friendship with Akane will be from now on.


Last episode Chinatsu said that she was going to confess to Koutaro. In this episode she did a hell of a lot more than that!! She actively tried to push Hira on to Akane as a "consolation prize" and tried to steal Koutaro from Akane by flirting with him. She is the shittiest friend ever! I felt bad for Hira as he really had no clue that Akane had a boyfriend already.


My thoughts exactly! I used to like her upbeat personality, but after recent events I have to say she's a horrible friend. Well, either that or her common sense is severely lacking.

As they can hate both chinatsu, the poor woman just wants to create an occasion to confess her love and take a weight of herself, if the mizuno even confided that the azumi loves she would not be so shaken, insecurity is the noem of it

Really happy with this episode -- glad it didn't try to drag out the misunderstandings. Hira and Chinatsu are rejected. Chinatsu was a bitch, yet again, and Hira was just a nice guy caught up in an awkward situation. Thankfully, that whole love square is over. Really admire Azumi for standing up for his relationship like that, too. Just because you're quiet doesn't mean you're a push-over.

I actually want to know more about Azumi's writing, now that all the drama has ended. I love the idea that he wants to write real literature, not light novels -- so unique and admirable.

Shorts at the end were great, as always. Wish the side characters were more involved in the main show tbh, they're a really fun bunch of characters. Sakura's imagination is adorable, lmao, and Roman is awesome as always.

What she initially tried to do was to arrange a "double date" so that she could get Koutaru and Hira would confess to Akane. That plan failed and instead a crowd came along. Hira was used by her hence her appology to him.

Hmm. Dunno. I love it that Azumi shed his beta self and got between Hira playing date with his girl! That was pretty cool. That said, I feel that Hira won't let this go just like that.

It's clear Hira feels that she has potential as an athelete, which is partly why he got interested with Mizuno in the first place, and that he will probably attribute her recent slump with her going out with Azumi.
I feel he will inadvertently butt in their relationship, with the belief he's the better fit for her or something like that (I even see Chinatsu joining forces with Hira, if out of spite at least).

Anyway, I don't really care what happens, but I do hope Azumi and Mizuno end up together at the end! They're cute together.

I'm impressed. This MC doesn't talk much but among the few words coming out of his mouth there are the most important ones. Since Akane had difficulties to make things clear around her, he came, he said it, and took her away :

Veni, Vidi, Vici!

This guy is like Caesar! He almost kissed her at episode 7!!! It would have been a record in the anime romance history, maybe, and I was like "Kill this kid!" :) Hira took it "like a man" apparently and I don't know how Chinatsu didn't realize earlier she didn't stand a chance.

Setsuko finally got rid of her "I-am-just-with-you-to-fuck" boyfriend. It lasted quite a lot. I hope the writers of this show won't bring them back together.



It's crazy how this story is down to earth so far, seeing at the past shows made by the director and even the script writer. It's a completely different mood from the comedies/fantasy like Seto no Hanayome or Angel Beats, and it's done well too.

Azumi finally manned up. I understand that they are both shy but it was really painful and kinda stupid to see them hiding their relationship.
Looks like Chihatsu also finally accepted it that she has no chance, Hira was not that shocked though. I guess Chihatsu had some little hope though, probably why she also invited Hira.

GOD DANG, I ain't used to this, I thought they were gonna spend the whole episode getting frustrated because their friends were pushing the wrong ship, but they actually finished that off in only half the episode, sort of turned down the side characters thus putting an end to the love square, mc became a man, and they KISSED... ALMOST. HOW DOES SOMETHING START OFF SO DANG SLOW BUT GET THIS FAR IN ONLY HALF THE SERIES!?!?!?!?!?

Azumi, my boy! That's a real man! He takes initiative! He asks her out, he initiates their first hand holding, and he steps up and says "Yo back the f*ck off! Mizuno is my woman!" The dude has got some balls and isn't a pussy. Azumi making them plays left and right and standing up for their relationship! I am proud of that boy!

Yeah Hira didn't know they were dating, so I can't blame the guy. But Chinatsu knew and yet she still flirted with Azumi and tried to get in between them on more than one occasion. Yes, I'm sure the pain she feels is real, but she needed to get hit with it. Otherwise she would never stop.

Also I am so happy that the awkwardness is finally starting to die down. It just adds to the cuteness of these 2! I was smiling the entire episode, because I was just happy about how it played out in the end! But damn that kid in the end! All we got was a tease, but this means we are in for more in the future!

Can't say I am happy that Chinatsu texted Mizuno in the end, but let's hope this is the end of that issue.

While I like the more natural type of relationship like Chinatsu x Kota

I don't like the awkward type of relationship like Kota x Akane but still OTP imo and somehow I support it

Tho felt bad for Chinatsu, I feel like this is both Chinatsu and Akane's plot. They should've just do the simple love letter back of the school confession thing not this oplan NTR that failed miserably

Uuwaah what an adorable episode this was~

The first half build the tension well. The subtlety and natural flow of events, devoid of any unnecessary drama and drag makes it a very soothing watch. I kept grinning during whole 2nd half of the episode when MC and Akane were having sweet moments together, enjoying themselves. Too bad they got cockblocked tho :v

Poor Chintasu :(
Hira was shocked alright. But he handled himself surprisingly calm.

Those after stories are gold lol
Want to break up? Sure. But let me get some action one last time :v

Also, Roman's a bro. I wonder if he'll actually end up with the beautiful sensei XD

Whoa whoa whoa Azumi got a confidence boost!!! Good thing that things are set straight in this ep and everyone now knows that Akane and Kotarou are dating~ Well, I wonder why Chinatsu cried tho because she clearly knows beforehand that Curly-kun belongs to Akanechi...

Ho boy, watching those two having their time in the park is very heartwarming. :) Yeah, I doubt tho that the two of them will kiss. XD
Make sure that you properly protect this smile, Kotarou~

Okay, in the beggining I was cringing so hard. It was hard to watch. Why keeping the relantionship a secret when it is hurting them both. Uuuugh, unconfortable.
AND THEN AZUMIIIII MAH BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOI
YOU ARE A ROMANCE ANIME MIDDLE SCHOOLER WHO MADE MORE THAN MOST OF THE HAREM MC OUT THERE MAH MAN LOL
The second half and the almost kiss was so so so cute!
I was sooooo relieved. I mean, poor Hira didn't know. Hope he takes it well, seems like it, but we never know.

AND CHINATSU WTF. I understand she is sad. Of course, anyone would be, but YOUR FRIEND IS ~~~ALREADY~~~ DATING THE GUY. THERE IS NO NEED FOR CONFESSION OR ANYTHING ELSE. And she was not just trying to confess, sorry, but that was straigh up "stealing yo man".
That LINE what the end...aaaaaaaargh. I'm actually mad about it wtf XD

The story has been making time jumps all along. Episode 7 takes place at least three (if not four) months after the first day of school. School started at the beginning of April. Those midterm tests they took in episode 3 were probably towards the end of May. The school trip during episode 4 was probably mid-June.

For those unfamiliar with Japanese curriculum (myself included), it can be a bit confusing since there are never any explicit dates mentioned, and it's difficult to judge just how much time has elapsed from one episode to the next. However, there are a few subtle signs, such as changing from the winter uniform into the summer one.

Expect another time skip with episode 8, which will mark five months since the beginning of the school year.

The Kawagoe Festival for which Kotarou is practicing is a real event, held for two days on the 3rd Saturday and Sunday of October. The part Kotarou is practicing for is the same as the white kitsune (fox) shown in the OP.

I love this show. The romance and drama feels so real and genuine, this is pretty much how I'd imagine it in real life.

The romance is slow and steady and each episode they get closer and closer. We need more romance shows like this one.

This episode has the most short episodes! if I counted correctly, that would be 5.
That my Boy Azumi! officially declaring that they are in relationship with Akane...right directly on to Hira's face! dayum yow! Nice guts!
LOL at Roman, too much rides on his own he got dehydrated and put to clinic! lolz!
The two had a nice date and their first "eating together" was just a lame TAKOYAKI!?!?
Looks like from this point on, their relationship will spread throughout the school for sure.
Here we go again with the usual kiss interruption by someone cliche...
5/5.

I swear we need more badass MCs like Kotarou in romance anime.

He may be a man of few words and sometimes give off beta vibes...
Then BAM he goes full 180 and does the boldest things ever. Been awhile since I've seen a romance MC with backbone like that.

Also Chinatsu wth do you think you're doing?

*sends LINE message to supposed bff*
"Aw shucks I failed to confess to your boyfriend"
Seriously girl are you seriously saying that to Akane's face?
