Hikaru and Iori as intro duo!

The heroine is not doing well on the school. Reaching exam period. lol @ Wataru's being aggressive with making those tickets for her to accompany him (just his feeling to cheer her up, though). Everyone's either cheering her up or doing their best to encourage her to do better, even Fuuto, too. So even Iori likes her (another flower language to Iris). then about Natsume and Subaru.

Coupling song to Gero's OP was used as inserted song.

Yuusuke wants to confess when the result is up, which is next ep., and ...eldest brother wants to do so, too? Subaru in end card.

LMAO @ Hikaru at the end! XDDD
When I saw Iori at the start, I almost thought he wouldn't make an appearance during the actual episode, but good thing he actually did lol.

The opening sequence was one of the most beautiful from this show so far, probably the best. Tsubaki is becoming better, but only as a character. I still won't support him with Ema.

I have been wondering this for a while, but Subaru is going to the same place which was Nodame's hometown (Nodame Cantabile) i.e. Kyuushu xD

Iori even wishes good luck off-screen, just how unfair this anime is to him? :/ Natsume will give her a reward, yes go Ema, get that reward! Fuuto is annoying, even when he calls. That weird mouth should just remain shut.

Is this just me, or everyone's eyes were a bit bigger than usual this week?

I love how Ema pushes Kaname away xD So even Iori is in love with him. The Natsume x Ema scene! I was expecting it, but not so soon! Chemistry rocks here as usual. That was a date, right? So happy about that. That hug! Rather than Hikaru and Iori conflict, it was more like Subaru and Natsume conflict. He confessed to her once and for all, yes! So much Natsume x Ema!

The best episode so far, loooooooved it!

Praise the lord for Iori!

If only the anime was so gentle enough to show more of Iori :/

And also Hikaru's first line (well at least in my cruddy subs), "You are really a naughty one, little sister". Uhm... that can be taken in two ways, Hikaru...

Not bad, not bad. Fuuto was actually tolerable this episode. Natsume is cute as always, taking her on cute dates. Ema's too lucky. Iori is kind of creepy, but the flower is sweet. And lol Ema got the D ;) If you know what I mean. Heheh. TBH, D's pretty bad for a mark. o_o I'm going into uni next year too, and if I get anything below a 90, it's bad.

Two more episodes! Will we see an end game pair (aka anime original ending) or just an open ending?

Natsume: If you can't decide on another game, we can just come here once more (Natsume, you sly dog)
Ema: Sure! Let's take the rest of the family too!
Natsume: -cockblocked-
You tried, dude. You tried.

Iori... are they going to venture there? I'm... two minds of this one.

Only 1 episode left, not two. The TV channels airing this series listed episode 12 as the last episode on the schedule listed at their website though there is a speculation that there will be a BD/DVD only bonus episode on BD/DVD vol.7.

LOL I would love to see that kind of ending :)

Man Subaru, that punch wasn't really justified. This guy has too much anger. I know he didn't like Natsume because of misunderstandings and whatnot, but Natsume didn't even do anything to Ema except for hug her in that scene. That's not really a reason to punch someone...and also, I've never heard of that irises can mean I love you or something, I always though it mostly symbolized faith and hope. Interesting.

the fact that people want to see more of Iori makes me wonder if they read the novel but since not much of it is translated they probably havnt :P well just a little warning for the people who havnt read the novel..... the more you see Iori the more you wouldnt wanna see him. just a penny for a thought. and for the people who know what im talking about, then you understand how many mixed emotions i have about this *o*

For almost all of them to fall in love with someone as dry and boring and Ema must mean that they all have poor taste in women, or are all extremely horny. I'm leaning towards the latter. After all, it's 13 brothers and not ONE of them has a girlfriend.

Ukyo, I love you most of all!

Ema would make a good wife since she is good at household chores though, I guess that's why they liked her. She is also supporting their jobs and doesn't complained much.

The punch was this anime's way of adding 'drama' -.- Stop making Subaru look bad!!!

Everyone's making their moves, especially Wataru with his coupons, and Iori with his Iris.
People are being pushed away like Tsubaki, Subaru, Natsume, and Kaname.

At least we know what's up between Natsume and Subaru.

I wonder how this will end.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Subaru is a real jackass for punching natsume without even knowing what it's actually going on. I wished natsume would give him a taste of what a real punch is, but he's too much of a nice guy ;_;

loved the natsume x ema moments, and yes this series needs more iori :3

I have read the novel, which is one of the reasons why I want to see more Iori. I felt that giving that other meaning to the Iris was unjustified. Ema had only one serious interaction with Iori during this entire season. They barely even see each other so why would he hold any interest to like her. Yes, I know in the novel he has his reasons but I wish they would have more screen time for his character. Anyways, Yuusuke was like the most picked on guy in this episode. Poor guy. XD Actually, I noticed that Ema wore Natsume's scarf and I was like how can I not ship Natsume x Ema. They went on a date and Natsume gave her a hug and a confession. My dreams have been fulfilled. >~< That punch was unreasonable but that's no reason to hate on Subaru. He did feel bad afterwards. The opening was weird as usual. The running with holding hands thing was so funny. I love the ending, Hikaru, let's just be friends already.

mfg I really can't stand how SHE IS SO STUPID ! so mfg.. I can't such idiotic girl T_T

I am watching this anime just cause of bishies and cause the guys are really great and interesting ! but she is soo annoying and now in the final episodes even more !
this anime would be much much better with more interesting shoujo main, than her plain stupid character.

oh I give this episode low score cause it wasn't that interesting and everything was around her and she was just so awkwardly borring in this episode.

Wow, it took me 3 hours to finish this episode and I have been watching this Anime for 14 days already and I still didn't get to finish it today because I want to sleep already.

Iori is really kinda creepy. That punch was uncalled for but I guess Subaru did that without thinking.

It's nice to see that short flashback between Natsume and Subaru ^_^

Next episode is last and I hope that it will somewhat satisfy me. I feel like I have to finish this Anime later(I don't feel like going to school later :3) and I also feel sleepy so I guess I should sleep already :3

THEY DID HIM SO WRONG FOR THIS WHOLE SERIES. DUDE HAS ONLY BEEN IN LIKE 5 EPISODES, ALL OF WHICH HAD HIM GOING THROUGH THE THROES OF HEARTBREAK, AND NOW NIGGA IS JUST FLAT OUT LEAVING THE SHOW. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

SUBARU WAS THE ONLY GOOD GUY.

It's about time Natsume and Subaru clash. Sweet punch by Subaru tho. I give it a score of 8 out of 10.

Somehow Ema seemed a lot more active and cheery, if that makes any sense, despite this ep being no different to all the previous ones. Weird, lol.
