The show tries to be 'realistic' but this irrational behaviour would literally never happen. I give it a 6, but it could have been so much more. I was excited every week to see if it would get better; if we would get some sort of progression. I was left with a half-baked show with little substance. I can only hope that season 2 (if it's even coming) will be better, although I doubt it. Why do you think this behavior is unrealistic? They're teenagers. Their brains are not fully formed yet. They're graduating high school. Not like that rendezvous was a 2 minute walk from the school; it seemed pretty far away. The choice not to send the text was entirely based on the need for drama within the show. I do love the show, but I'm not going to ignore its flaws. |

I can only hope that season 2 (if it's even coming) will be better, although I doubt it. After deciding to have the competition to go it took him what, 3 swings to get the home run? Not a long time. He then runs to the spot she mentions in her text but she’s not there and he then messages her. Makes sense to me, Eita had avoided Natsume for the whole day so it’s understandable that she gave up on the whole thing. Still shitty on her behalf though. Again, perfectly understandable because Natsume can be a bit of a bitch. Overall I found the sequence believable. Natsume still was a bitch for not contacting Eita untill the first day of University but thats how she is. She’s lucky that Eita loves her despite her flaws, not that Eita doesn’t have some himself. What do you mean? Sure, if the rendezvous was around the corner his actions would be acceptable, but it was across town on a hill. No reasonable person would hinge their whole relationship on the chance that she wouldn't leave after at least 10 mins. It's just poor writing and I'm shocked you think this is normal. |

No. No reasonable person. A teenager. He was sulking and Natsume wanted to speak to him. He had no expectations that she liked him and had previously decided to let it all go since as far as he was concerned she still liked Harito. It also fits with his character. Perfectly reasonable. I find it annoying when people say “well I wouldn’t have done that!” Well no shit Sherlock, that’s because you are not that character! It’s a sign that people are self inserting which is lame. |

| I was pleasantly surprised from this anime, though I feel bad for Komiya :( 8/10 |
 |
| It's so stupid that Eita and Mio didn't talk to each other for a month... But the ending was so beautiful that I overlook that. |
 |
| A bit disappointed in the end. Good that Eita and Mio end up together, they fit well, both indecisive, both calm and introverts, both thinking they have no chance with the other, but the fact they had to wait a month without contact and the fact they were lucky enough to be in the same university in the end (here they both fought but one failed, luckily), the fact they didn't manage/ they didn't fight to meet after the last high-school day, that all made me summarize the end as something like : _ they got together "just because" ... of luck, "just because" ... "anime" ". and that's a pretty badly written ending IMO. I wish there were an epilogue with Komiya few years later, totally happy and in love with a handsome photographer, both traveling around the world and working as reporter or something. That's what she deserves (more than being with Eita, she had a crush but she would have get bored with a guy like him sooner or later). Visually, the show was not that good, sadly. I really enjoyed the low key, realistic atmosphere though. |
| Firstly, I'm surprised that the dearest Mio Natsume is the valedictorian of the batch. Omedetto! It's a shame that Ena lost the competition. On the bright side, her club was saved by her clubmates. Still, I'd like to congratulate them for winning the competition. I did not expect this to happen. I'm glad that Eita was able to sort things out with Ena even if he didn't pass the entrance exam and Ena not precisely winning on the competition. It was expected already for me that he'd turn her down. I'm just glad that he did it the proper way. Painful it may seem to Ena, but I'm glad that she understood after all that's the Izumi-senpai she loved. I wish her success on her future career along with her clubmates. Then here comes college life. I'm glad that Morikawa and Haruto are still keeping touch with each other. Even with their high school friends, including Yukino. I'm glad that Haruto's enjoying his company work with the adults, at the same time, Morikawa, making new friends and having her musical band club. It was also nice to see Eita having the chance of becoming a batter and hitting a home run. I really got anticipated to the point that Mio wasn't able to confess during the graduation. Seems like it was inevitable for the two to experience awkwardness after what happened. I'm glad that they both ended up in the same university. Didn't also expect Eita to confess his feelings first before Mio did. A happy ending for these two couples. #TeamNatsume I'd say I can relate to some of the experiences that had happened in this anime. Really took me back the time when I was still in high school. Of course, this anime have made me miss it more. A job well done for this anime.  |
| the animation LOL Satisfying yet predictable ending 4/10 |
| What a lovely ending, i already shipped them together since start(eita and mio), despite some obstacle and misunderstanding. For komiya though, although she got rejected at least she got her own happiness in other way ( her club and her member still stay together ). I also glad that both Haruto and Morikawa ends up well. I really satisfied and happy with this series, with great OP by yanagi nagi and she also compose all the musing and song if i'm not mistaken, and great ED by each female protagonist voice actress.I glad just cause become another great original anime beside re: creator,zankyou no terror, and etc. my favorite things is everything started and ended with that home run full of belief. after all it's "just because" well i finished this series right in new years eve, so i am really happy, and happy new years for everybody in MAL 10/10 for me |

| As a side bar, I love how the finale was delayed and then to ice the cake none of the texts are translated. |
| It was a pretty good romance series, not as good as Tsuki ga Kirei imo but I still really enjoyed it. Honestly starting off the year with Scum's wish, I thought this year for romance anime would be awful but I'm happy I found two shows that I enjoyed. Hoping for an OVA epilogue showing them a bit in the future. |
 |
| Well the finale was lame and disappointing. I like the fact that the story is a little different with unrequited love and the parallel male lead being the main love interest of the female protagonist. But the writer included a lot unnecessary drama throughout the series that it literally overshadowed the romance. Not to mention the anime was rushed with more screen-time being spent on Haruto and Hazuki whose relationship seemed pretty stable halfway. While there was hardly any meaningful conversation or interaction between Mio and Eita apart from some development through Line messaging like Tsuki Ga Kirei wannabe anime. Honestly, the anime had potential in the beginning but this changed when the story became predictable. I mean they could've have made Komiya and Eita get into a relationship and then realise their true feelings just to spice up the show or maybe have Haruto move on from Morkiawa's rejection and date her friend just to make it a little interesting. Instead the writers continued with the generic route of one love. This made Eita appear madly in love with Mio despite knowing her feelings for Haruto throughout the show and wasted rest of time by having them sort out those feelings. The story only progressed somewhat after Mio four's year crush Haruto decided to ask another girl out instead of her which is when she began to acknowledge Eita otherwise the characters would've maintained status quo throughout the show and nothing would really change. Even though it was predictable I didn't like how Komiya was sidelined and made to be neglected by Eita most of the time even when her feelings seemed more genuine and honest then Mio. Personally I found Mio's character to be quite edgy and selfish from the start instead of nervous and quiet but still there was some change in her. But Eita remained an average character till the end. I understand he is shy and introverted but that's no reason to make him bland and boring. In short, this was mediocre. Just because...I learned more about Japanese Universities, graduations, places, examination procedures then the story itself LOL. I really don't know what difference does their "fateful"reunion/confession at the university makes considering they will be more busy than they were in high school where they just wasted all their free time procrastinating. |

| Pretty disappointed with the ending...well sort of. It was just kind of weird that for whatever reason they were dodging each others texts during graduation, and then cut off like all contact with each other until they started college, and just happened to text/see each other there and confess. And the confession itself was uh, definitely a let down. (Also it was extremely fucking irritating that for whatever reason, this was the ONE episode where they didnt subtitle the fucking text messages so I had no idea what was going on there). I also didnt care for Mio too much as a character. I didnt hate her per say, but she was very tropey from start to finish, and didnt really seem to have a noteworthy relationship with Eita or anything. She fell in love with Soma because he picked up her fucking eraser, was all about him for years while Eita got friend-zoned. Poor Eita stood by her the entire time dealing with her shit and her obsession with him. Always acted depressed and "oh woe is me" when things didnt go her way. The highlight is that he actually graduated from the friend-zone; thats rare both in anime and IRL. The only chemistry the two seem to have is that they tell each other things straight. They dont mince words with each other. But other than that, like, they hardly talked, hardly spent time together, would go extended periods of time without contact, etc. Just didnt seem like a real foundation to foster any kind of romance. The whole subplot with the entrance exams was also fucking stupid and pointless. They mad it this huge deal that they were taking the exams to each others schools. Ended up not mattering in the slightest. Eita failed and stayed at Josei. Mio got into Josei. They never told each other and just ran into one another at the end (to little surprise to each other anyway), so what was the point? Honestly it might've been better if they elaborated more on Mio following in her sisters footsteps, and then deciding to finally make a choice of her own and go to Josei for her and because of Eita, but left Eita's exam part out of it entirely. It literally didnt matter. It was just a half-assed poor excuse to not confess to her at graduation. Definitely felt bad for best girl Komiya too. I mean goddamn, she was by far above and beyond the best girl of the entire series. Nobody came close. Her personality was great, her chemistry with Eita was great (hell even Soma said something about it). She always ran into him or met up with him and spent time with him. She literally went out of her way to visit every single shrine in the area to get him every good luck charm possible, and HAND MADE him an entire yearbook (and chocolate). And confessed her love to him multiple times. Like...if that isnt some love and dedication idk what is. It's not that Mio is a bad girl, but when you compare her character and Komiya in every aspect, Mio literally doesnt do shit the entire time. Komiya blows her out of the water. I think what caught me off guard the most the entire series was that Komiya didnt win her award either. Both her and Eita lost. It was actually the photo her club mates took of her taking a photo of Eita that won. Photoception. Was honestly expecting her to win after all of the emphasis they put on it. Overall I think the show was a bit of a mixed bag. I think the start of the show was incredibly slow. So slow I was expecting it to be trash. But then it surprisingly picked up and became a pretty interesting romance drama, but then ended on a pretty low note here. I think they could've removed some things (like Mio's friend being a bitch to Morikawa on and off again for no reason, and the Eita exam subplot) and focused a little more on character development, specifically Mio with Eita...enough to justify them as a couple, but as an anime original it was still pretty damn enjoyable. |
| More baseball but with eita batting this time, he misses mio anyways :( Poor komiya but atleast her bros are with her. A happy end because he failed the test XD 7.5 |
 |
| As much as I liked the art style, and how the animation in the finale redeemed itself for the massive quality drop of later episodes, I can't get over the feeling that overall, where this show was pretty close to perfection the first half of the season, if anime were still drawn and written on actual paper, I'd take the second half of both the script and screens to wipe my soiled buttocks. So, I guess it's fair to rate this one right at the middle: 5/10 The ending played out exactly how I thought it would, which sadly was a coward's ending. Worst of all is not even Izumi x Natsume, but rather the fact that he came to be because the genius with a recommendation failed the entrance exam to a lesser university, and no one even questioned it, not even his own parents. Then there're countless annoyances: like we never got anything on Yoriko, Komiya basically failed too (they won with a creepshot made by one of the two other photography club members), and who on earth is Nakajima? Sure, this is all bery well possible, but from a narrative point of view it makes no sense. A Dutch writer once said that if an author describes a rifle hanging on the wall on page 7 of a book, somewhere further ahead in the story something has to happen with the rifle. Just Because! completely fails in this respect. It invests heavily in the Izumi x Soma bromance, it repeatedly shows signs that Izumi x Komiya makes more sense, even having Soma and Morikawa comment on it, yet these things are just dropped and a hastily introduced university choice sub plot completely takes over. I wasn't even needed, like Izumi could have been picking his nose for the last five episodes, and the result and emotions would have been exactly the same. In the end what we have is just a show with carefully budgetted animation and market segment management, about some thot that settles for her crush's apathethic best friend. RobertBobert said: Eh, the miracle did not happen and we have another generic end with the illusion of intrigue. It's a pity. I hope that I will ever see anime, where the third character is not introduced just to suffer and create a non-existent weight to the central couple.

Soma for Morikawa, yes, but Izumi for Natsume, no, hence I'm calling him apathethic. His overall stance is of some kid who didn't get a pony for Christmas and keeps saying that he will be getting a pony when he's grown up, completely ignoring the fact that the average grown man really has little use for a pony. |

I don't think Eita's character is apathetic because he is shown to have interest and concern for others. But he hides those feelings due to his introverted personality. And if he were apathetic he wouldn't try to reconnect with Haruto or try to get in the same university as Mio or even help Komiya. But he did. Besides he held on his crush for 4 years knowing of Mio's feelings for Haruto. He even helped her out with exams and tried to get in the same university just to remain by her side unaware of Mio's changed feelings. This kind of dedication can only be of someone who is madly in love but is not good at expressing those feelings. |

| Its a pity for Komiya's confession but she knew Izumi loved Natsume's but took a chance anyway, stupid but bold. I am happy for Izumi and Natsume, too bad for Soma because he really wanted Morikawa ( I guess he finally accepted the distance). I was rooting mostly for Soma-morikawa relationship mostly but I was very disappointed, because I love when a series doesn't sideline supporting characters when it comes to romance ( this one didn't deliver). But most of all I loved how the series built their love towards each other, romance in real life is like that. The downside is that the characters didn't leave a mark and there was no crucial story, but it was decent. So a 7/10 is well deserved for this one. |

Okay, kindly stop being an elitist k thx. Majority of the comments, including yours seem to be salty because natsume won. Fun fact, she got a ton of development. Where komiya was straight forward she was confused and took a while to find her footing, she she finally did we saw that growth. Its easily why I preferred her to Komiya. Hell, even if you paid attention to the show you would have realized that komiya knew the end results as well. I get how you're feeling because your girl didn't get the guy, cause I watched nagiasu. I love that show, did I like the confirmed pairing? no. but that doesn't mean that everything the show did was for naught just because your couple didn't come true. You legit stated you liked the side couple and komiya. That's the majority of this show dude. Stop being salty. Natsume was the better girl IMO. I can relate to her, not everyone is straight forward. Hell love a lot of the time is confusing and it takes time to truly sort out your feelings. I'm not happy with the way the confession went down, I felt like him being late was stupid, but other than that, it was a great way to wrap up a good anime and if you didn't "like it" you wouldn't have watched till the end buddy. Majority of these reactions is because of the "best girl" nonsense. |

| AAAAAAHHHHHAHAHAHAHA WHAT A LOSER. Nah, but this played out in a pretty predictable way really, it's unfortunate that best girl ended up losing in that battle of love. Anyway, anime was good, a bit slow, but good, but thats about it really. This is one forgettable anime for me, art style is nice, music is nice, characters are pretty good, but none of it great or anything to me. 7/10. |

dqtl74 said: I wonder why they didn't translate what were arguably the most important the LINE messages in the show. Yeah. That annoyed me. Why'd they suddenly stop translating the messages in the final episode? Does anyone have a translation for the messages, btw? Anyway, expected but disappointing outcome. Can't blame people for being so pissed off in here. Ena was my favorite as well. Of course, Eita was obviously in love with Natsume, so there was just no chance there. *sigh* It hurt to see Ena like that. Not only did she get turned down, she also lost the contest, AND her charms didn't help Eita pass the exam. The author must really hate Ena, huh? This show did a good job of getting across those bittersweet feelings of graduating from high school. But the romance could have been a lot better. Best romance anime of 2017: 1. Tsuki ga Kirie 2.

Tacsk0 said: r16fourarm said: I also glad that both Haruto and Morikawa ends up well. No, they are not. They are drifting apart and that was the worst letdown for me in the JB! series. Haruto now works, Morikawa studies and they are in different cities afar, so he doesn't even get to lay down on her. The total lack of common life experience, combined with lack of previous bonds between them, i.e. no prior dating all means game over. Do you think a tall, good-looking, modest, yet unattended girl won't be collected quickly by some stylish mate on campus who also happens to have a pile of money to invest in the dated-looking Morikawa family business? If Haruto abandoned his low-tier local career path (if any, considering he only has sec. education) and moved to Morikawa's univ. city to do whatever work is available there, no matter how menial, he could have retained a slight chance by demonstrating, day after day his usefulness as a future worker for the Morikawa family business and hopefully by holding on to the girl during the night. Japan really needs guidance from the Bible, so: "Man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh - Genesis 2,24-25" (Also compare H&M of JB! to Tsuki ga Kirei, where both the boy and girl were studying during their LDR, had a year of previous dating memories, including kisses if not more. The boy travelled every weekend to be with her starting from day one of LDR and they high-frequency traded instant messages all workdays. Yet they barely made it through to marriage, owing to extreme jealousy back and forth and there was a lot of temptation on the girl in the univ. environment.) It's best to remove pink glasses. Well said my friend :) |

It's best to remove pink glasses. well, what i mean by ends well is, yeah i just happy to see every characters happiness including them (it just that i think subjectively) but if we think objectively i really agreed with you, tbh i also wish them to be at least living in same town(although not in same college), but what can we say ? haha the series just end like that. and for LDR, TGK had more powerful bonding for both sides before they were drifting apart( kiss, romantic moments and memories) and beside that the most important thing that made TGK win over just because its the credits, they showed us they stil keep in touch regularly through the message in their LDR until in the end they showed us they got married and had a baby, something like this i think is making viewer more relieved and leaving them from anxiety. if this thing applied in JB i think it'll be a lot better(especially for me) haha XD. yeah that thing also that made TGK is slightly above JB, but still i love both series haha BTW that's a good reference you have right there XD Mormegil said: Best romance anime of 2017: 1.

| Fast forward a year and all these ships will have sunk to the bottom of the ocean. Shame. :/ I'm happy that Morikawa and Haruto are still in contact, but they weren't that close to begin with and they'll probably drift apart. For example, Haruto and Eita stopped contacting after a while even though they were good friends; we heard and saw about this at the beginning... unless the two actively try to get together it's not going to work out. As for Natsume and Eita... tbh both their passive natures might or might not work out. But seriously they have huge communication issues. I can't see it working out even after they get together... (Natsume didn't read his message for a month and Eita just took it?? =.=). Maybe if he managed to meet up with her on the hill, that would've made for a better finale. Not a month later without Eita even knowing she got into his university... there's nothing driving their relationship. I wish Komiya well. She was definitely my favorite with her go-getter attitude and wanting to support Eita even though she knew he didn't return her feelings. Started strong, nice middle, but the ending could've been better. |
| DAMN FARG! Best girl Komiya didn't win! 1/5. 7/10. |
 |
| This was really good. Aw!!! Poor Ena....that was heartbreaking. I really liked her character a lot, sad that that had to happen. But I really enjoyed this anime. 8/10 |
 |
| So in the end the result of their relationship was in Natsume's hands! I was sure Eita would pass the test and that Komiya would win the prize with her picture... I am so glad they were together in the end. |

|
| Felt a bit rushed at the end. Not my preferred kind of ending. Seems vague, incomplete. I guess for a finale to a relaxing series, it is to be expected. |
| 5/10 overall they didn't do enough to build the relationship between the two of them so the end had no payoff imo, I don't buy that they will ever be a couple long term because of how little they interact in the series. |
| I liked it. It made me feel pretty nostalgic. The ending was weird though -- I guess Natsume wanted to surprise Izumi but he's not a man that gets surprised. I'd love to know what sapped all of the emotion out of him at such a young age. |
| No idea how I feel about this. I hate anime that ends the moment they confess, but I did enjoy the ride. |
 |
| Nothing very special about the ending and kind of expected. Overall, this anime has good OST and settings but the animation went downhill throughout the anime. The animation studio also lacks the expertise on character's movement. Running and walking animations were so awkward and off-putting. The plot device used is repetitive, for example, baseball scenes and trumpet scenes were repeated for a few times. Though, this shouldn't be a problem for a SoL anime but I just wish the writer could have thought of something different. |

The anime starts off with MC either meeting the main girl or already being in love with her, better girl shows up, they have much better chemistry, she likes him way more, is cuter and better in every conceivable way, then she confesses to him and he turns her down in favor of the first girl he saw. This just keeps happening over and over and over again. Of course MAL yet again agrees with me (in terms of how man favourites each character has) on which girl is better but that obviously doesn't matter to the writer. It's just annoying at this point. The least MC could have done was think about it for 2 seconds but they made it abundantly clear the he would pick Mio no matter what. Whatever, at least the buildup was great. Yet another anime I'm never gonna touch again because remembering it is just gonna piss me off. 8/10 |

| I like Mio the most so I'm glad the ship sailed. Overall a pretty enjoyable anime. |
| Ah, reminds me of my wonderful memories of High School. Such an episode i liked it alot, i feel bad for Ena its like she forced herself between Eita and Mio. That's high school for you. 8/10 |
Why do we have to live in such a cruel world?  |
