Wait!! Is Sawako gone a punch a bitch or is it just my idea? That would be something to see.
Anyway i kind of want to get out of this misunderstanding business. The whole thing is a little silly. I hope the story isn't consumed with Sawako getting in to misunderstandings the whole time.
Also do people get that troubled when someone they knew stops talking to them? Those girls only knew her for a few days and it seemed to me like they were worrying too much for someone they didn't knew that long.


I thought the same thing when she made a fist at the end. I feel that she is going to fight for them. The two girls will realize what Sawako has done and they will be friends again. Then again, the preview of next week's episode ended with the three in a dark classroom and things didn't seem to be going right.

Fighting is not entirely necessary but fighting for your friends, it is (in Sawako's situation).

I'm anxious to see the next episode.

Overloading of cuteness by Sawako X_X

I knew Sanada is a cool guy the first time I saw him!

I wonder what she look like when she's mad.

Yeah episode made me cry... :(
Sadako alone and depressed makes me sadder. At least Kazehaya is an amazing guy to watch closely for Sadako.
But leaving at a cliffhanger? I wonder if she is going to scream at the rude girls, punch them, or talk her usually quiet but powerful voice? o_o; lol
I WANT MORE NOW!!!

Once again I am brought to tears at certain parts, Sawako needs to be with her friends and smiling again!

and I guess i'll keep reading the manga again, as the suspense would otherwise KILL ME.

LOL.
When did I say that?

Anyways, the episode felt really useless more than half the time, since it was a re-treading of everyone brooding. Someting about Sawako annoyed me, but I don't remember. Despite all that, since it looks like Sawako's about to slap a bitch, I ended up liking this episode.
See? You just said it :D

They've known each other longer. They did a bit of a time skip between one of the episodes. I think there was the first episode that happened before summer break, they had summer break, had some classes. I feel like we've gone at least 3 months since the show started. But I'm a litte unsure of the test schedule in Japan, so that may give more insight.

The first episode was near the summer. You forgot the date of library books said September so yeah it is 3 months.

I cried up a bit during Sawako's cry in the classroom, and that scene is indeed sad. I’m glad Kazehaya saves her from depression, and she is able to move on. I already knew that cliffhanger will end there since I read the manga first, and it was very good and touching episode even though, the pacing is somewhat slow.

Well, school year starts in spring in Japan instead of fall.....so exams after summer break is quite common. Their summer break is not as long anyway...

Right now I would opt for smashing my keyboard around and posting that as my response to this week's episode, but I'm not sure others would appreciate that very much.

fjdskalfj;dkla;sjf;klasdjflasd; OH WELL.

Holy macaroni, this show gets me so intensely absorbed each time it airs! I mean, it doesn't even feel like 23 minutes have passed once it's over. At this rate, I'm going to have to read the manga... and I really don't like going back and forth from anime to manga.

I'm so glad I ended up downloading this series just out of curiosity.

that was a good episode but it did feel like they dragged this rumor thing way longer than it had to be. I do like the confusion between all three girls and how the two come to realize how much they care about her. *awww*

The ending with the fist was awesome yet I doubt Sadako would be so bold as to hit one of them. The preview for next week looks like some more drama with a nice ending!

Near the end of the episode I really wanted her to punch that girl. Eventhough I knew it would never happen. This little clash will help get the girls to understand each other again.

Eh, it's all a bit too drawn out and melodramatic for my tastes. What could've been covered in one episode will now need a third, and all the crying over people that barely know each other, complete with flashbacks already, doesn't move me.

I still like it, and I'm not changing my 8/10 rating, but it's become rather boring after the first few fast-paced episodes. I'm kind of waiting for the ending section, which will no doubt contain the most drama, rather than getting into what's going on right now. I haven't read the manga, but these last few episodes have seemed to have one chapter pacing.

Gosh, that scene at the end. I'll cry tears of happiness if Sawako punches those bitches. But Sawako being Sawako, I doubt she will.

It isn't that good. The thing is, MAL is cleary ruled by deranged fangirls who cry over every little thing, and they're the reason it's so loved.

I want to slap them all. Hard. I cannot comprehend how anyone can be all 'OMG, WHEN IZ NEXT EPISODE!!1111!1???' when what's going to happen is painfully obvious. (Hint: Sawako will become friends with everyone again.)



...but, yeah, it having cute facial expressions, Pro. IG clearly putting effort into animating a decent shoujo and Noto voicing the lead probably all play a part in its rating.

I'm curious to see why not many have seen how this story arc is all too similar to Kare Kano, when Miyazawa receives similar kind of treatment to what Sawako is being put under, only to a less extreme.

Sawako will not duel, I think. It's not in her nature. But at the same time she won't immediately respond. She, Yoshida, Yano, and Kazehaya have to do a heart-to-heart before they can make their next move.

But one idea I have is that I see all the trouble caused is by jealous Kurumi next door.

I compared it to Kare Kano from the start, for differing reasons.

The way Sawako developed quickly from the get-go, with the pacing being fast, suggested, like in the case of Kare Kano, the story would be one where the lead couple grow as they spend time together.

I also feared it'd turn out just like Kare Kano, with the pacing going to hell as a result of the focus being switched from the main relationship and onto the female lead's friends after a strong opening. And, if episodes 3-5 are anything to go by, that's going to be the case.

Now that you've mentioned it, Sawako getting bullied because she's stealing the school hottie is very similar to what happened in Kare Kano, when its female lead got bullied for doing the same thing. The two characters differ greatly, but their situations don't.

So, yeah, Kimi ni = Kare Kano 2 up to yet, with some small differences.

Kare Kano was in fact different, in that eventually the girls resolved their differences, swept away the rumors, even pleaded Miyazawa for forgiveness, and Miyazawa even made new friends out of it all.

We can only wait until tomorrow (the 10th is when it comes out there)

What are you talking about? You're female - you're supposed to watch this with a tissue on hand, ready to cry into it. Why I don't know, but that seems to be the norm.

Okay, so I guess those girls in the bathroom were the ones who spread the rumors about Sawako and others? I hope Yano and Yoshida will come and beat the crap out of those girls. Also, Sadako crying was sad indeed, and also when she was talking to Kazehaya.

Very good episode. Wonder what's going to happen in the next episode. GO SAWAKO, YOU GO GURL, PWN DEM BIOTCHES UP.
