I thought for a moment, that this anime would have a normal character... oh well, for some reason I like Aoi and her crush of Sumi. It heart sunk when her belonging fell on the floor and she had that look on her face.

Seems like there is some progression with Ushio's feelings though... now where was Akemiya...

What a sweet episode... with hints about Ushio's hidden or unrealised feelings becoming noticeable.

Aoi-san seems to put an awful lot of effort into her yuri literature work... she seems somewhat obsessed about her idealised version of shojo-ai. I hope she's not setting herself up for later disappointment!

The begining thing in class of Tomoe suddenly kissing Aoi then Aoi slapping her was a complete =O with a *_* for the slap. The thing about Orino Masaka being Kazama's brother was a surprise too with a another one that he write Yuri stories reminds of tehnominator a little. Quite a shock to see Kazama crying just because she saw Sumika on top of Aoi but it was a accident. Would Tomoe be even allowed to attend school at 18 in Japan in the level she is at? I like Aoi with her shy/not wild exposing girl x girl love. I don't mind gays and lesbos but with a secretive style like Aoi....society would have less problems..true or not? Miyako of course was funny to with her face close to the fan talking. Tomoe was smart to pour that drink of Sumika/Kazama to give them some private time...brilliant. This was the scene that a laughed the most at: Found Kazama/Sumika really cute here together but Kazama was the best at the end with her blush before leaving for home:
It was great development for Sumika x Kazama and Aoi but I would not kiss a guy if I was gay in the classroom....I would be more discreet.

In spoiler my anime list for now.

Nice episode. Some nice character development and a new character (I don't think they really showed her before). Overall pretty funny....I look forward to the next episode.

:P Well, he's a guy, and I'm a girl, so there is this difference.

I like Aoi's interpretation of her character. Just the right about of fanaticism,"uptightness" and sympathetic sweet energy. I know a lot of the manga fandom hate her, but she seems like such a simple, innocent girl, it was hard to dislike her.

And Miyako and Tomoe are hilarious. Miyako actually rooting for her girlfriend while she's kissing another girl. It kinda tells you how comfortable they are with one another and how much they trust one another that something like that won't matter to them.

Bonus brownie points for Kiyori. No Akemiya though :( But he had an entire episode for himself last time. It's sort of sad when Sumi says, "Why don't you ask the other class rep--Akemiya?" and the girls go, "Who's that??" Poor boy.

I would be curious for you to point out about a major difference you noticed between male/female Yuri writers....just curious. Something major you noticed with that....

I actually started to like her after this episode a lot more! Nice compliments about her character.

^That is great trust....I did not think like that but did think that their relation is so strong....once again well said about them.
Ah yes one last thing...Kazama's blushing (especially that part under my spoiler) was the best in this episode I find....do you think so too?

In spoiler my anime list for now.

I can't believe Miyako just rooted for her girlfriend to kiss another girl, and on the same note, I can't believe that Tomoe just kissed another girl randomly. And that slap was epic. I love these two. xD

And why does it suddenly feel like Kazama already knows how Sumika feels and is kinda just waiting for her to say something? Or maybe she's trying to warm up to the idea of liking Sumika? Either way, it looks like a plus for SumixKazama!

It was a good episode, didn't really like Kazama's sudden attitude change to Murasame. It was unfair to her, but then again I'm probably expecting too much of teenage anime characters to expect them to logical and emotionally stable.

A little bit more of Kasama x Sumika and Aoi, who became an important character in the manga for a bout 3 chapters and then fell into oblivion... not that i care, since I don't like her that much. Lol at Kasama's brother, who signs pretending to be a woman like i think almost everybody else in the yuri business do.

Kazama totally has feelings for Sumi! It was so cute when she didn't want to leave Sumi's house.

Aoi is cute. I hope we see more of her.

Cute. I just wish Sumi admitted to Kazama that she likes girls even without straight confession, that would make things so much smoother. I mean Kazama's been so open about her feelings the whole time, why does Sumi have to be all "ooh the love that doesn't dare speak its name" all the time?

Yeah that's what I thought too when Tomoe kissed Aoi just like that. Miyako sure can be annoying at times. Then again I guess that's why Tomoe likes her. Her bratty and annoying personality makes her moe like Dekomori in Chuunibyou.(But I actually like Sanae way more than Miyako)

I don't like them sexually.

It's hard to not like lolis, their cuteness pander to the same emotions that naturally makes us fathers.

But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs.

How do you go from one of the best episodes in the series to one of the worst? No real content, make a completely new/random character lesbian, confusing and vague plot---shortly explained---you don't expect an anime of 13 episodes to have a "filler episode", but I might be wrong.

The yuri fan happens to be the most uptight and close minded of the bunch. Not because she's straight (a lot of, if not most, yuri and especially yaoi fans are anyways), but because of everything else she says and does. I'm reluctant to call this irony but it's kind of like that.

Akemiya was hiding in a closet. Should he come out?

Also, 8 epsiodes in and we had 2 girls crying. Where is the "drama" tag?

I hope it Sumika's sudden confession made Ushio cry.. But not really expecting it too much..
Who is Masaka?.. And.. Masaka?! ;p
So it's Ushio's brother.. Alright.. Well, I mean, who cares really, if he's a dude, if that girl was feeling complicated about girls' love anyway.. I guess she wouldn't be too saddened, if her favorite author would be a dude instead of a girl?.. Or would it matter to her?..
Oh, so after all Aoi Azusa has her warm feelings towards girls' love.. Just that it has to be more pure.. Well, to be honest.. I think that open love is fine too.. But to be honest I don't really like Tomoe and Miyako as characters or pair anyway.. They're just alright at best.. And I don't really like their dramaticism which affects other people.. I'd prefer if they would leave it between themselves.. So partially I agree with Azusa.. They annoy me a bit, to be honest.. Still it's their choice how to have their own relationship, Azusa.. On the other hand, it's not their choice who to kiss out of the blue, but in that situation they both really entered territory they should not rule..
Well, I'm alright with that they made Ushio crying because of such reason as well.. Maybe she'll think more about what Sumika means to her.. Maybe..
Yeah, Ushio, of course you cried, because you thought that your friend Sumika is assaulting rapist.. ;p Nah.. ;P That's not the case.. But ok, whatever, it's still a progression.. ;p
Well, wonder, how Ushio's brother will react to his fan's writing.. It can be both for better and worse.. Like he wasn't sure, if someone reads him.. So it'll be nice for him to see that others appreciate his work.. But can be something negative as well, like trying to appeal too much to her in particular, and losing his own style.. Or other positive and negative things.. Well, will see, I guess.. ;p
Pretty nice and interesting episode.. Azusa's view on girls' love is interesting, will want to see more of her development.. And Ushio and Sumika it feels are getting nervous tension, with hints of love, perhaps.. So glad for their progression as well.. Maybe first progression, involving them both.. Previously more as friends, now with more doki doki feelings.. Well, will wait for them both more as well.. ;p

It's that Aoi got more screen time. She and Sumika would also make a cute couple. ^^

Lol at Miyako. She cheered for Tomoe when she randomly kissed Aoi. And ouch! That slap was kinda expected.

Aoi is in heaven. xD

Ushio obviously has feelings for Sumiko. That ending was so heartwarming. <3

So, Aoi has come into the picture, and little does Sumi know, that Aoi likes her.

Kazama appears to be showing more signs that she is attracted to Sumi.

Finally the girl from the opening appears, seems like she will create a love triangle.
So Kazama really has some feelings for Sumi? or was true that weird thing she said when doing the laundry?, and about the Kazama's brother honestly feels like an self insert from the author for all they said in the episode.
So much better than the last one and now with Aoi this is getting more interesting
