I'm sad Miyamura cut his hair, I loved when he had it up!! This was still a super cute episode though. <3
I know! I was quite sad but he still looks really good!

He does look really cute!! I had a "whaaaaat" moment like everyone in the show when he first appeared lmao. I just hope Hori lets him know that he didn't have to cut his hair, I feel a little bad that he felt like he needed to be cool. :(

Damn, that was such a good episode, didn't expect it to get kinda dark when it was revealed that Sawada's brother died.

Miya was so clean kissing her when the candy was bitter and taking it from her mouth.

Haha..the way Miyamura treated in the Hori household, already like a son in the family. loved the heartwarming moments when they watched the movies together. Hori's Dad being Hilarious as he get sidelined by the Family as usual and.... the night talk between Dad and his "son in law to be" XD.

Well, some students from the school spotted them getting out from Hori's house together and started making a fussy news about how Hori and Miyamura are dating now. They talking bad about them, especially about Miyamura since he viewer as a gloomy loner person in the school and why Hori wants to going out him. Even tho, Hori, Ishikawa, and Yoshikawa told him not to thinking about it and they didn't care about the bad talks,Miyamura seems to lil bit bothered by it and voila... next day he cut his hair shorter.... Everybody drown in surprise including Hori herself haha... loved the expression those people made. and.. best reaction went to Iura XD. Now with his new looks the girls seems to fawning over him and made Hori lil bit irritated.... . Continuing the surprise... even Hori's family also surpised with it, and OFC Shindou too XD.

The unpredictable sweet moves by Miyamura tho.. he kissed Hori while actually wanna taste the unsual ground-flavour candy that she was eating.

Next one, newly introduced character Sawada. The 2nd year girl that seems to watch Miyamura with leery looks before. She happen to like Hori and wish them break up XD. The interesting part came when she met with HoriMiya in the hallway. The scene when both her and Miyamura fighting over Hori and end up grabbing Hori together, and its hilarious how she trigger Miyamura's other side(his Madly side) XD. GJ for that adaptation of them grabbing Hori over XD, that was hilarious and adorable, Loved it. In the end the problem was cleared but she still fawning over Hori haha...

Well, waiting Hori, she meet Miyamura and ended up go home together since Hori' went home already. Both of them found out that they were neighbours in their apartment complex :D. Because she forgot that her key was left inside the house apparently she stayed awhile in Miyamura's while waiting her mom to come back and ended up eating cake together with Miyamura. She seems to see Miyamura as a brotherly figure as he was treating her good. Miyamura later find out that she actually had a brother and just passed out. Later on he protected her from some delinquents that hit on her.

The closing scene was great. Poor daddy got forced to watch horror film with her daughter and Miyamura XD. Just when the dad left to buy some ciggy. Hori asked a bold question why Miyamura don't do anything to her ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) He thought her was cute when asking that and tried to kiss her.. then bammm.. the Dad ruins it by coming back and hilariously asking if he disturbed their lovey dovey moments. he ended up getting kicked by Hori hahaha....

So, in this episode they adapted chapter 26,27, half of 29(too bad they skipped the dinner part tho),30, and only little bit of 31(few last pages only IIRC). I seems to get the pattern of how they adapting it. They'll adapte about 3-4 chapters, skipping about 1-2 chapters per episode. They seems to only adapting few last pages of last chapter that got adapted in the episode.

Looking by this pattern and so, we might getting closer to such one chapter XD IYKWIM ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It might get adapted in next episode or the next one after that haha...
Really excited for next episode..

Nooooo he cut his hair, he was better with long hair in my opinion xD
And wow Miyamura really kissed Hori because of the candy, too bad they couldn't kiss at the end because of the father
Seems like there is a loli who's in love with Hori... and she's also Miyamura's neighbor lol
But well the story around her brother seems pretty sad, I guess there will be a drama with that.
He looks consistent now tbh I didn't like his "school" hairs the one he kept at home were good and better overall tho.

Yeah but he was forced to keep this haircut at school because he didn't want the other to see that he has piercings, otherwise I think he would have kept his tied hair everywhere

In my opinion, this has to be the best episode of the series so far. Literally made me change the score from a 6 to a 7, if it continues this way from now on it will stay a 7. Really good.

Maybe I'm just not good at picking up on this stuff, but I didn't notice Sawada being a cliche. I did roll my eyes about Hori's reaction to Miyamura and Ishikawa's closeness though. I appreciated that Miyamura didn't feed into the negativity himself. With Sawada, I actually thought this was a step up from other anime in this genre because they never said she was weird for liking Hori, and they accepted her as a friend pretty soon. I hope they give her a sweet female love interest later in the series, although I do have low hopes.


Well, the thing is that Sawada being a girl means that as opposed to all interaction between guys being characterized as potentially gay ( unless they're fighting over a girlfriend or bragging about one ) lesbians are assumed to be nonexistent. Sawada is written to be overly clingy, immediately causes a commotion everyone treats like some sort of a bizarre comedic spectacle, is generally bad with guys and to top it off it's suggested to be connected to the fact her brother died. Furthermore, light spoilers ahead
So anyway the thing is that sometimes a situation will be written in such a way as to force a gay joke in, so even if it doesn't come with extra vitriol it's still homosexuality being nothing more than a punchline.

It's more a result of the author giving up on writing a story after Hori and Miyamura became a couple. There's some development but most of the later stuff is just fluff and comedy, some of which is casually homophobic. It's nothing like
many other anime that are more intentional and spiteful, but still a story that starts with a victim of bullying kinda undermines itself by having these moments appear on a regular basis.


When you put it that way I definitely see it. I should've known better than to hope for decent LGBT rep TT-TT ... someday ...

First going to take a quick moment to say RIP Miyamura's luscious long locks :'( They will be missed. Although the switch from blazer to cardigan is nice (and would likely bit at least a bit cooler in the summer).

Ishikawa said exactly what I was thinking when Honoka started showing up. Absolutely everything was pointing towards her having a crush on him and missing out to Hori...but then she revealed it was actually Hori that she liked! xD Nice to see that Miyamura's at the confidence level to actually fight for his girlfriend though :3

Think Hori must have had a lapse in memory at the end, complaining about him never making a move on her. The guy stole the candy she was currently eating just several days ago......with his friend in the room! (too bad the kiss had to taste of bitter clay though)

Kyosuke will surely acquire the reward of "the most hilarious dad in anime" LOL.

This anime is quite decent at the moment, love, comedy, high school, slice of life, each with a bit.

My friends are urging me to read chap 37 before the following eps come out, but, who cares cuz the anime is doing quite well right now.

Really looking forward to seeing what will happen in that chapter and how will that be adapted (pls do not put any spoilers here LOL).

They ruined Miyamura's hair. I can't believe it. This was the thing I liked the most about this show. The main character was the one with the long hair not a generic haircut.

On a different note, Miyamura is the master of making significant moves in very insignificant instances.

Miyamura manages to be so incredibly smooth and awkward at the same time. Him stealing Hori's candy definitely managed to hasten my heartbeat.

Sawada's appearance ought to stir things up a bit. Given her past, it only makes sense how she would like to cling to Hori (or Miyamura, for that matter).

I once didn't understand manga readers' passionate feelings when a show had done something wrong compared to the source material but now that I have watched the most recent episode, I get it now. The newest episode clarified what I loved about the manga that isn't in the anime and what I wished they would have done better in the anime than what is in the manga.
Something I hate about the manga is how they develop all these characters but never give a proper resolution to their character arcs. I thought if the anime were to only focus on Hori and Miyamura, signified the smaller moments, and cleaned up all the development issues, the anime would have easily become something special. Instead, they don't take many creative liberties when making the anime and retell the events that happened in the manga in an even worse way. They skipped over the whole conflict with Hori and Miyamura questioning their relationship, they skip over Miyamura's trauma and get rid of his hair, and is it me or is Hori more boring than I remember? Also, I thought by omitting the other characters from the story, they would be able to get more done. Despite them actually doing this to an extent, the focus on the main characters are only partially there and in retrospect, what made the manga special was the charm from the other characters which defined the world they lived in. Okay, nothing to do with the actual characters or story at all but I believe an integral part to any romance anime and any piece of media in general is the soundtrack they use. I am quite disappointed there is little to no memorable music from what I have seen so far. The opening and ending have adequate songs but they are more focused on the animation.
I really want to turn this into a coherent argument but I don't want to judge too much without having seen all of it. To end, some things I loved about what they did in the anime are the art style being perfect, the voice actors they chose for each role, and that they even translated the events in the manga at all. Also, something funny that I found about this anime was how the voice actor for Hori, Haruka Tomatsu, is known for her role as Asuna in SAO and the voice actor for Miyamura in the old OVA series is Kirito from SAO which tells a story of what almost could have happened. Also also, the voice actor for Hori in the old OVA series would eventually play Mai-san from Bunny girl Senpai and how Miyamura is played by the same guy who plays is also known as Raku from Nisekoi which literally shows how much the industry reuses the voices that would most appeal to a normal viewer.

Looks like she likes Hori-San and her attitude towards Miyamura is hilarious xD
But looks like Sawada-San had a big brother and looks like he passed away.

And woah, Miyamura kissed hori-San!? That was so sudden and was lovely >.<

Just when Miyamura was gonna take a move on Hori-San, that father xD He is so hilarious xD

Looking forward for more Miyamura x Hori-San!!>.<

Great, now the rumors and concerns about Hori-san and Miyamura-kun dating now leaked. I guess that's what pushes Miyamura-kun to cut his hair short. But still he looks even more handsome now. Their reactions are hillarious too, especially Kyosuke who ask "who are you?" for the second time! XD

Oh my, this is awesome! Hori-san and Miyamura-kun are kissing each other. Although not really since he just stole candy from her! XD

Honoka Sawada looks really interesting. First she wants to go yuri with Hori-san. And she's also living right next to Miyamura-kun's apartment. This is quite a huge coincidence for them living next door. But still I want to see what happened in the past. XD

Kyosukeeeeeeeeeeeeee, you have interrupted our cutest moments! Oh well, three movies with no restroom break is really scary though XD

OMG I love Sawada so much throwing in some yuri, and I love her relationship with Miyamura. They are love rivals, but she subconsciously depends and treats Miyamura like her older brother. It's just so ducking wholesome. Plus she is super kawaii, and my favorite type of girl, short, enthusiastic, and long black hair.

Tbh before watching this Episode - and I found out Miyamura cut his Hair I was a bit sad because I really liked it when he put half of his hair up :l it was a nice look.
However after seeing this Episode I am not too disappointed anymore, he looks very cute with this hairstyle (≧ω≦)
The scene of Miyamura was feeding his friend cheese tho that was so funny, reminded me of two of my close friends who also despise that flavor. But the kiss was definitely unexpected and quite cute.

AHHHHH, I definitely did not think that Sawado had a crush on Hori - their little fight over Hori really made my day. It is definitely better than having the typical another girl vs MC for the ML. Them ending up to be neighbours and never noticing it tho? However I like their sibling like relationship tbh - I hope we get to see more of it
