Hmm, Morikawa and Mio got some decent character interactions this episode. I feel like they can connect to a personal level.

Ena an Eita had a late night meeting. I thought it's kinda cute that Eita gave her a drink and she really appreciated it. Regarding Haruto, I wonder what his future will be like. He didn't seem to be thinking about Mio too much anymore.

Morikawa kept her changed look much to the surprise of her classmates, honestly tho i have trouble remembering her old look her character is just so blend.
The other girls, Natsume and Kamiya also seem to have more screen time then her tho i don't consider that a bad thing.

As for Kamiya it seems she has gotten the attention of Izumi however will she be able to win from Natsume?
For now things seem to be going well.

Ena made things awkward for both of them last ep; good that they managed to partly solve that this week.
Would be cool if Eita gets accepted to Mio's old choice, then Ena follows him and Mio gets accepted in another uni. Perfect ending.

Meanwhile St. Valentine day draws closer.

Natsume telling Morikawa that she has finally found the person she really likes showed that she has truly moved on from her first love.

Things got awkward between Ena and Eita, but it was resolved. Morikawa has gotten a lot more attention ever since she changed her hairstyle. Natsume has come to terms with her misgivings about her future and about her love life.

After the whole thing where Ena says he can look forward to Valentines Day Eita said "Muri". Impossible lmao. Tells me his feelings for Natsume are strong and Ena has no chance. Morikawa with that new hair style is cute af. Wonder if that girl that said she doesn't like Morikawa will cause problems for her. Now since both Eita and Natsume are kinda changing their school of choice to match each other I'm hoping it doesn't end up with them going to opposite schools

Well, that conversation between Morikawa and Mio seems to pretty much confirm exactly how this is going to end, but the University situation - with Mio no longer going for Suizan but Eita still doing so - could throw a spanner into the works; of course, love triangles being predictable as they are, I doubt that is actually going to happen, and it just makes it more painful that they're giving so much development between Eita and Ena if they do ultimately just sweep it aside for Mio who, while I don't hate her, simply hasn't been shown to have much chemistry with Eita at all. Then again, if Mio has moved on from her crush on Soma, who's to say it couldn't be the same for Eita and his crush on Mio? Those two crushes have (or had) a lot of parallels and similarities, so could that be foreshadowing their conclusion?

I really want to believe it won't take the predictable route with Eita and Mio, but as they say, it's the hope that kills you.

More like Natsume sorted out her feelings. The way I see it, there's still a long way before she musters the courage to actually let Izumi know how she feels, she even put aside the thought of giving him chocolate on Valentine's Day. I hope she doesn't remain so passive from now on, though. This conflict between Natsume and Komiya is interesting and I'd love to see them going for another round. XD

Well this episode became somewhat dramatic for me. My emotions were flying everywhere for a long time. Pretty ticked for me in a certain sense if anything. Poor Eita he is busting hard for the Suizan exam, while Natsume decides to go for Joei exam. This is going to get really ugly if things to not work out soon, and thing do not get found out. This is maybe because both of them are just really idiots. As for the Komiya she is really going for it. I can really see where people are coming from with Komiya and Natsume. I really do. But I think it is already decided.

Horray switched destination plot.
Means there's a possibility for an open "we're going to meet again" LDR ending.

Though best girl Ena will probably still get rejected first, before that.

This is the only episode that showed any appealing traits about Natsume. Which was nice, but it was too little too late.

I mean she's still going to win regardless. The switch university plot line is dumb as hell though.

If Eita sits the exam and gets in its not like he can't change his mind. It just gives him another option as his recommendation still exists. I also think it's unlikely that Eita wouldn't find out about Natsume pulling out of the Suizan exam as you have to travel to sit the exam and he would notice her not going to sit it when he does.

All this said though, I think perhaps some people are misinterpreting the OP. I don't think the OP shows Eita and Natsume walking towards each other in the end. Instead I think it shows them walking PAST each other after they change direction. Eita is busy trying to suppress his feelings for Natsume for as far as he knows she likes someone else. Natsume knows that Eita thinks she likes someone else. Unless she does something, she really is going to be alone.

Is it weird that I find Ena as best girl, but I still want MC to end up with Mio? They're not mutually exclusive things, I guess. However, I do think the Ena and Eita character dynamic is better. Still..

I can't believe there's 3 more episodes. This has felt really drawn out (not in a bad way), but I want to see how it ends already because of the anticipation.

I think the series doesn't know how to do things properly but at the same time things are getting better and better. Natsume showed her personality trait decently and of course, it means that she got out of the first choice, and realizing that Morikawa is pretty much well with the resolution.

And as much as I like Komiya, I do want Natsume to win with Eita, just because for me I don't think Komiya and Eita would be good together, nor their chemistry showed any sign of love towards each other, if anything its really one-sided.

Nice episode, Eita x Komiya feelings for each other are getting real (even though he still tries to deny it).
And now we can be pretty much hopeful that Natsume won't ruin that when she lied about having crush before. But at least she moved on if nothing else.

Not so different hairstyle for Hazuki though, did expected something more flashy (even though I understand her embarassement when everyone started talking about her as she's more of introvert person, that's for sure).

Really wonder how this all concludes... If I have to bet there would be only one pair going out of this and it won't be Hazuki x Haruto either. I'm still baffled about Junpei's role in all this, so far he's pretty much just named sidekick.

You're not the only one. I like Ena too, but I feel like Natsume should end up with Eita.

I for one think that if this series ends with anything else than Eita ending with Ena, it would be distaster. I mean, they have the best chemistry in the show and that's what love should be about - natural conversations with your loved one while having fun, not those awkward situations that only leaves the other one in pain... All the time they are emphasizing their mutual feelings of liking each other (more than with anyone else I guess) and right at this point it would be pretty much weird if he ended with Mio with almost no build-up at all. Also, it would feel as Mio picked him only because she couldn't have Haruto, and I would felt pretty bad for this choice of pity if I was him. So I don't believe this is likely if this story is to be any good. It would be pretty disappointing otherwise.

Haruto, on the other way, is poised to work hard in the town and his feelings for Morikawa could end in vain in the end if they separates in the end (as the life goes, it's very possible). That's why she had this sad face after talking to him at baseball grounds, she literally has to chose between him (love) or the university (dreams). Pretty hard choice if you ask me as she will be blaming herself for all her life for not chosing the other.

Eh, I wouldn't say they have good chemistry. I think you're referring to their character dynamic by how different they are. If anything, Ena is mostly carrying the conversations, but that's due to her personality; it has nothing to do with chemistry. The only reason he's comfortable with her is because he doesn't see her as a lover.

I could also reverse your argument back to you by saying it would be sad if Eita settled for Ena.

I am pretty sure that the university that Mio is going for is the one that Eita got a recommendation for (yep just checked and indeed it is).

Not sure how preferences work in the Japanese university entrance system, but surely his recommendation would still be there even if he takes Mio's former choices exam.

It was fun watching Ena and Eita becoming awkward and conscious of each other but it was even better to see them come to terms, of sorts. I just hope Ena's expectations don't come crushing down. T_T

Well, things are going to get awkward if Eita doesn't find out that Mio changed her first choice. Although, this means the best girl Ena would win... except that wouldn't happen, and it would probably just be depressing. Someone did point out that Mio's new uni is the one that Eita had a recommendation for, which i hadn't realized, so that could definitely spice things up.

Well here we go ladies and Gentlemen, it is Store Bought Chocolate (Natsume) vs Homemade Chocolate (Komiya). The battle for Eita's heart begins...or well I would say but Eita basically confirmed that they can't go back to being on the terms they had before Komiya's confession. =/

Morikawa and SOma interaction was nice.

And I think I can speak for everyone when I say..."I hope the Bluray fixes this fucking TERRIBLE animation!"

I probably one of few that prefered Morikawa old hairstyle than current one. Not current one is bad but old one is suit her more imho.

I never expected the part Morikawa asked about Natsume feeling to Souma, it was nice she admitted herself and has moved on from Souma. Now the only left for Natsume to making move on Eita from certain stalker clutches.

The amount of metaphors and foreshadowing this episode lol..
Mio is studying for the university that Eita got a recommendation for and Eita is studying for the university that Mio originally wanted to go to, but they'll probably end up in the same one after resolving all the miscommunications. Also really happy to see that Mio is over her first choice both in terms of Haruto and her first university, meaning she has changed her mindset to think for herself. Instead of blindly liking someone to fit in with her friends and following her sister to the same university she has began to act independently and more maturely. Character Development Intensifies
