A nice episode, but it bothers me a bit that some of these characters aren't honest enough with there feelings. Mikako, in particular, needs to be more honest with herself. Otherwise she'll never realise what she really wants.

It'll be interesting to see how this links up with the stuff that happens in Paradise Kiss since I think that some of it is starting to link up.

Yeah, I was lead to think that this would be a turning-point episode too, but I guess we still have some ways to go before some development happens.

Very nice episode. As already said, turning point episode.

This will not link directly with Paradise Kiss as the stories are separated for several years. The only link of the story is that of the future Mikako sister that will be born. In Paradise Kiss we just see middle aged Mikako and Tsutomu a little.

I think that is pretty obvious. ^Spoilers are also not fun for those that haven't seen Paradise Kiss.
Not to give away spoilers.

It's not a spoiler at all for Gokinjo Monogatari. You are totally clueless about Gokinjo Monogatari and Paradise Kiss aren't you?

the most wonderful anime ever! this episode was very touching (as usual) - my eyes welled up with tears when mikako realizes at the end how much she really loves tsutomu but still can't be honest with him - i've felt that way so many times before.

Mikako finally realises her feelings! I wonder if she'll stop pestering him about Body-ko.

A great realization episode. Mikako's reactions were very cute: the handbag slap, the talk with Master, how she fantasies about one day being more opened about her feelings. How Yuusuke notices she hadn't had a clue before he told her was also funny.

Well it is a coming of age story. Mikako is so used to her relationship with Tsutomu that she never questioned it before. For me it's believable.

The first step was made, but a lot of work has still to be done.

I dunno what exactly it was but this episode hit close to home and I felt my eyes becoming watery. Wonderful.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Wait what's wrong with selling haniwa? everybody loves haniwa right? we need more haniwa!

Looks like Mikako finally realised who the sweetheart is, if only she wouldn't made those bad actions...oh youth
