Great stuff honest girls hope all happy and all, but...
in those last frames, did Morikawa only appear higher than Eita, or is she actually higher than him? This question serves no other purpose than to satisfy my inferiority complex, appreciate the compassion.

Oh man..
I've seen this pattern before.. many many times. which I really hate.

Morikawa is going to end up with Haruto FOR SURE.
Komiya WILL LOSE. so in the end Eita and Natsume will be together forever.

God, I hated it.

Puta was the MVP.

Komiya was utterly adorable. It is a shame that she will most likely end up broken-hearted. At l(e)ast, Natsume is displaying hints of affection, good for Izumi.

Morikawa was striking as well.

That was pretty awkward at the train.
"So why did you ask for my permission"
"Just Because"
lmao so that's why that is the title XD

Morikawa though lmao
.I thought that was Mio's Older Sister and I was like how could that be when she was still driving Mio from the cram school. Then I saw Morikawa's mole I was like What??!!!!
I knew she was grown-up Hinata level hot but still.

The tension btw Natsume & Komiya's quite unusual.

I was not expecting Komiya to call Izumi to a date after Natsume told her "no".
I am on team Natsume here, for me point of view, what she felt of Haruto was more admiration and gratitude for the eraser. She had more background with Izumi since the beginning.

I know it's not gonna happen, but please for the love of god just get Izumi and Komiya together. Natsume is so annoying can she just go away. this is probably why im gonna give this show a lower score in the end

Natsume seems so much like a bad Person this Episode. After seeing Izumi and Komiya together she wanted to say something to Izumi, just to keep him at her Side, because it's convenient for her. After telling Komiya not to date him, Natsume was just happy she can keep the status quo. Well, after the last two Episodes, i changed my Mind and will definitely root for Izumi and Komiya.

Finally having caught up, I have to say I find it impossible to choose between Natsume and Komiya. Both have their own charms. While I admit I am slightly inclined towards Natsume, the person I really want to see becoming happy in the end is Izumi. So, I will be going for the team that has more chance of winning than any other team right now!

Okay now Natsume is creeping me out lmao what is wrong with her, she needs to get a grip of herself and DO/SAY SOMETHING.
Also judging by Eita's reaction to Ena at the end there might be some progress on that front.

Wish the writers would stop depicting Komiya as such a tool, she easily is the most likeable character in the series.

Also what was that ending? Natsume is going to die if she sees Eita with another girl!

Glad everyone met each other once again in Morikawa's house. Great to see Haruto's bonding with the kids again. Also, seems like things have progressed more as Eita have told Haruto about his entrance exam.

Then here comes the date. The cat is indeed the savior of this episode. Salute to you kawaii neko. Looks like no one's gonna stop Ena from pushing through her date with Eita. That awkwardness though when Eita, Mio, and Ena met each other in the train. Also, the title was dropped from the conversation! It didn't really seem like much of a date for me. Although, it looks like it has moved Eita after Ena told him that she's going to confess if she wins the competition. Strangely, Morikawa looks so different in her new outfit.

The cats name is....Puta.
Ena has been sleep deprived because she's been thinking about Eita.
She's trying to figure out how to ask him out on a date.
These rude ass little kids. Do you not see Haruto eating? Hazuki's parents ain't teach them manners before they died.
lol at Ena.
lol at Puta's face as it walks in.
Ena side oppai.
Dat neko Puta.
Haruto says Eita has good chemistry with Ena.
It's a date, so don't be late.
Japanese Siri came out of nowhere.
Ena gets on the train and sees Eita and Mio.
Ena said the title of the show. Roll credits!
Yeah. Get off at the next stop (which is not actually your stop) because you fear best girl.
Oh snap! Now Eita's taking pics of people without permission.
lol at Ena making her pic his background.
Ena wants to go somewhere.
Ena will confess her love if she wins.
Holy crap! I thought that was Hazuki's mom, but it was her.

Anime gods...let Ena win. Even Haruto, his best friend, ships them.

Leave it to the cat to arrange dates.

Ena is much better on so many ways, she is even proactive and went to the attack regardless of Mio asking her not to. Just step aside poster girl, glaring at her on the train ain't going to make you score points with the viewers.
Eita taking pictures of Ena is a good start, but a weak one. That was an ok "date" though.

Those parting words are going to backfire so much.


Who didn't love the cat saying, enough already this anime needs progress when the paw sent the message?

Look I like Natsume better than Ena, but there's a lot the underclass Ena can offer Eita, including not having to fight to get her attention.

Up until this episode I honestly though tit would go something like this:

Eita -> takes Entrance exam at school where Natsume is presumed to go
Ena -> takes a backup Entrance Exam to school where Eita goes (originally not for the same reasons.)

Both are getting distracted in the drama, so I fully expected the possibility both might fail to be placed at the same college, thus fate deciding they will be parted now. However, I haven't seen the last 3 eps so need to see how it plays out.


Though on a side note, at least initially I don't get what Ena sees in Eita. Yes Natsume is long lost friend and probably by trope ends up with him because of familiariaty, but they put a lot of emphasis on how he and Soma didn't exactly stay in touch after he moved, and neither did Natsume. So that pervious familiarity is there but its not as strong IMO as some other series. Its hard not to pull for Ena though, who doesn't like a girl who knows what she wants and goes after it?

I can't stand that Kamiya 'asked' for permission, but still went on the date. That to me is such a horrible thing to do. Maybe it's because I've never been in this sort of situation, but going after someone you KNOW your friend is into - and that you know that someone is into them, that dude is officially off the market in my opinion.
In guy world, there would be a whole bro-code, and the dude wouldn't go for a girl he knows his friend likes (and feelings are returned to boot!) It just seriously grinds my gears, as a girl. If I were Mio, I would despise Kamiya. I said no, and she didn't care. Actual witch with a B >.>

And I liked Kamiya before this. I liked her as just the friend on the side. I hate where her character has gone. Agh.

My 2 cents on Mio: I seriously don't understand the hate. When I first started this show, I was drawn to how lifelike the characters were - the calmness of normal japanese people truly came through. It was one of those shows which keeps themselves embedded in reality.
So I found her to be a calming person. Not relatable or anything, but still, I liked her. And Izumi liking her made all the sense in the world, seeing as he's the logical, calm type, and would appreciate that about her as well. So the IzumixMio couple makes sense.

Not Kamiya, for reasons stated earlier >.>

It's frustrating to see Natsume and Izumi. They both have feelings for each other but they're both so awkward when in each other's presence.

Komiya was completely different during the "date". She was more likable. But personally, I'm still rooting for Natsume and Izumi because I don't really LIKE Komiya.

Why did she ask for Natsume's permission if she had no intention of taking into account what she said at all? Or was it just a tactic to see how much Natsume cares for Izumi? In that case, that was pretty smart. She's quite the attacker.

Morikawa looked real nice at the end. Haruto is going to die lol.

Komiya, youre the best girl in this anime.

But Komiya, if youre gonna ask the transfer student on a date, then fantastic!!!! But Komiya, you have to use your greatest strength to try to get him for yourself and for him to forget about the female MC: ON YOUR DATE, YOU HAD TO WEAR AN ATTIRE THAT ACCENTUATES YOUR TWO HUGE MELONS!!!!!!!!!

Ena really named her cat Puta💀💀💀

The ending eeeeeeeeeeee, that basically was a confession alright eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. And that was the first time I've seen Eita blush, that had a very strong effect on Eita.

Boy they are making it very hard for us viewers to root for one girl to be with Eita. But right now Ena is more likable than Natsume to be honest, just a bit more likable, I won't mind if either of them wins.

What happened to Natsume liking Soma? Did she forget about him?

Ena had lots of screentime this episode and she has become more likable now.

Really though, Eita and Soma's friendship is the best.

5/5.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

Feels good to see Eita smile. I still like their party whenever they do something together, except the kids, they are annoying.

Loved the album scene a lot. It was probably the most emotional part we've had. Eita seeing how much he missed. Thinking about it, what happened to the friend he's been texting in the first episode, lol.
