Well they did some background storytelling this episode as a way to balance out the training. No wonder Shibuki's grandfather was such a badass though.

The episode was okay...felt like pacing slowed down again even with the training. The coach is still training the team to be at the top of their shape. I think Shibuki really wants to prove something to himself and the world.

Coach not only denies the accuse of main guy being treated specially, but also got angry about the accusation. Though what his friends told him already affected him.

Sakurai-san's character's heard of it. The three are too close and special (only 3 junior high) that they got frustrated about each other. He told him to fight for himself.

Something about Nakamura-san's character's grandfather. Sakurai-san's character pays attention to main guy because he sees him as a worthy opponent.

What the two are lacking are the training, and they decided to be serious and do it, though late. I'm glad they made up.

Coach telling Nakamura-san's character the history of the rule of diving and that he shouldn't slack off.

The day his family left for the trip, he met Nakamura-san's character at the park. They got a chance to talk, and it seems like Chikuwa gets obedient to Nakamura-san's character. After hearing what main guy said, he said he will surely do 3.5 turns. He finally did.

His twin brother really did steal his girlfriend like he said.

The first half episode Tomoki dating with Youichi in a restaurant
The second half with Okitsu in a park at night with a dog
I don't even know why he make a fuss at the end when his (uncertain status of) girlfriend having fun time with his brother.
Though it seems not a serious drama hinting by preview of the next episode, the qualification round is near, Tomoki doesn't have all the time in the world to worry about the girl he never even care in the first place.

Tomoki finally did three-and-half. Shibuki even opened up to him and the coach gave him a hug. A well deserved hug :D

Good thing the friend jelously was sorted out in this episode. At the pace it is going, it would be unnecessary drama

That ending... Tomoki had it coming but it seem like they were simply having a good time.

That ending... there wouldn't be a fuss, but the brother acting like he was caught red-handed and the (now ex) girlfriend clearly feeling guilty shows they weren't just having a good friendly time. Oh well, there's a silver lining, I guess, as getting rid of the girlfriend who he wasn't even sure he really liked would free up more time for Tomoki to practice. Unless this breakup has some sort of negative influence on his performance. Judging by how everything disappeared, even sounds, that's what we should fear the most.

Her girlfriend is in the room with his brother when they know that he wouldn't be there. That's something.

Anyway, just breakup Tomo.. you now have a confirmation from Youichi that he have his eyes on you
and what's more is that he cares about your calories. <3

Totally expected to be honest. He barely even took notice of her anyway. It's not like he can blame anyone but himself for this. Of course she'd go to the person who actually took notice of her and even LOOKED like him.

Still, I guess it does feel bad though.
Something tells me that he's going to get over it really fast though.

They are divers. Their fit body is also needed for flexibility and great presentation.
Have you seen a chubby diver before? if you've seen one, you wouldn't blame judges for a low score.
it's like a chubby humans doesn't belong in diving world.. lol

If they weren't doing anything, why did his brother try to stop him from entering the room and why was Miu crying? Sure that was an indication enough that they didn't want Tomoki to see them together. Miu crying could only mean that she was feeling embarrassed and guilty for being in his brother's room.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I'm not really surprised that it came to this since it was way too obvious that Tomoki doesn't pay attention to his girlfriend and she must have felt it too especially in their last date. The brother seems to care for her and an important thing is that he looks exactly like Tomoki, so that's a plus for her. (Yes, she was first attracted to Tomoki's looks and that's why she confessed.)Tomoki must be shocked by this but he will get over it. I don't think he loves Miu but maybe this will wake him up and it might make him realize that it was his fault she went for his brother instead. He will also learn that he can't have it all. His focus is mainly on diving now and it seems he can't spare even a little time to be with Miu, so this is only expected. Saying all that, I do think Miu should have talked to him and broke up with him properly before starting seeing his brother but what happened has happened. Maybe she was trying to get in touch with him but he never answered her calls or even called her back.

Wouldn't it be funny if the whole thing was just a big misunderstanding and that Miu and the brother aren't really seeing each other but just merely hanging together? :p I mean, maybe she was just confiding in him and that's why she was crying? Highly unlikely but let's see.

Youichi with the advice.

Nice to see the jealousy thing was sorted out and MC's friends apologized to him.

3 and a half + the hug was great.

Ending wasn't too surprising but it doesn't really look like they did anything serious apart from play games. Let's see next week I guess.

When one aims for prefessional sport world i dont think there is much room for love and i think he should have broken up with her but she was fucking annoying and persistent calling and in the end betrays him rolf. She knew his dreams and goals if you see you dont fit in and you are not satisfied just break up, why people always expect too much? Too bad this will affect his performance though...

Saw the preview for the next episode and it seems Miu really is with Tomoki's brother now. I mean, given Tomoki's state. Honestly, I think both are to be blamed. Tomoki for not showing care for his girlfriend and taking things for granted and Miu for not ending things with Tomoki before starting seeing his brother. Yes, Miu has the right to move on but she should've ended things with Tomoki first.

Didn't we all see this coming that Tomoki's twin would steal his gf?
I kinda hate that girl more now for taking advantage of them both.
Looks like the brothers won't be getting along anytime soon.
What an awkward and tense situation.

It's ironic how Okitsu is being so stubborn in trying to preserve old style and beliefs but does not realize that his grandfather had been setting him up for it all along.

Youichi gets it, though he was a bit too stuck up on those calories. Glad we got to see him interact with Tomoki.

Also happy that Tomoki and his pals made up already.

The way it's going though, Diving will seriously swallow Tomoki up even more since the things he has outside of it are falling apart. At least he managed to do the 3 1/2 spins already. good job!!

Annoying how they expect us to be interested in MC's girlfriend relationship when the fact that MC has a girlfriend has only been mentioned twice before now. If you want us to care about MC's relationship, then at least invest a little more time developing it.

The keychain on Fujitani's backpack are so cute. Hahahaha!

So happy that the three of them are okay again. And them two realized their mistakes, though Ryo seems still bitter.

Holy shit. Okitsu's hair is down and not like he was electrocuted or something, and he looks so gooood.

Loved this episode. It's getting better and better, but I hope I get to see them in competition already. It's been 5 episodes already c'mon. Haha!

And holy shit I wonder why that girl was crying, and was that Sakai's girlfriend? What's going on? :O

Well, this was a good episode. Finally, those two jealous pals have admitted and the issue has been resolved peacefully. However, judging from the ending of this episode, seems like there's going to be the initiation of yet another dramatical incident. Initially, I thought Miu was a lovely girl but now I'm having doubts. Hiroya's behavior made it seem as though something really is going between Miu and him and this is further reinforced with the final scene where she is seen to be crying. Honestly, I hope this will be some misunderstanding but I doubt it will turn out that way. Let's see what next week has in store for us and hopefully this matter will be evaluated. It was nice to see Tomoki pull of the three and a half rotation though but I think the newest issue will hamper his training from now on.

Yeah I'm not sure why he'd even be mad lol he never hangs out with her and his brother told him repeatedly he might steal her away xD I was like, "was about time" when that happened.

It was nice that Asaki told Ryo and Reiji, that they haven’t been training every day, which had the boys realize that they should work hard. At least the two apologized, and they’re back to being friends with Tomo. :)

I like that Yoichi reinforced to Tomo that sports involve winning and losing – you cannot expect everyone to be #1. It was nice of Yoichi to listen to Tomo, talk about feeling special with Ryo and Reiji, since they were the only eighth grade divers… I’ll take a moment, to appreciate that Yoichi waited for Tomo, and shared an umbrella as they walked and chatted!! ><

Later on, it was awesome to see Shibuki and Tomo talk at the park. Tomo had Shibuki see that diving in a pool, during a competition, doesn’t have to be about the scores the judges give you – Tomo has a personal dream attached to diving. I hope this conversation encouraged Shibuki to see diving differently. And I like that Shibuki and Chikuwa seem to get along! XD + a bonus lol to Shibuki, for scaring Tomo and Chikuwa when he had his handstand on the monkey bars. :P

That hug Asaki gave Tomo was cute. <3 She was very proud of him for accomplishing his 3-and-a-half turn rotation, and so am I! :) I look forward to the upcoming Asian training camp. I want to see Pinky again, lol.

Tomoki must be shocked by this but he will get over it. He will also learn that he can't have it all.

^ You expressed my thoughts clearly. When Tomo asked Hiro if brought a girlfriend home, it was weird that the younger sibling didn’t say yes or no – Hiro simply didn’t want Tomo to enter his room. >< If Hiro and Miu weren’t hiding anything, why did Hiro not want Tomo to enter?? Tomo obviously knows who Miu is. So, I’m really curious to know why Miu was in Hiro’s room, thinking that Tomo wouldn’t return home early… Miu definitely should have broken up with Tomo first, before dating Hiro. Although, Tomo definitely should have devoted time and attention to Miu. Both parties are generally responsible in a relationship; these two definitely could have talked with each other and ended amicably, instead of what we saw… I also think Hiro should not have let Miu into his room; he just betrayed his own brother. ‘-______-

Now you're feeling guilty assholes? But at least you feel sorry, so that's not a bad thing...

... for a moment I think the coach was going to scold Tomoki for talking alone. I though she was going to say something like "At least let me finnish my lecture and then you can do the jump" XP

And that ending... what in the world happened here? D: I want to know why Miu's crying :(
