Forgot that the Anime adaptation didn't have Akari, Nanami and others to go to same college as Haruto. lol
Especially since I just caught up to the manga

I really hate these constant flashbacks. Either start from the beginning of the manga or keep a steady flow of the story. The anime is a bundled up mess, and the manga wasn't that great to begin with, but it was better than this.

I wonder what Eba wants to tell Haruto? #sarcasm

zensunni said:

Actually, he commented to Naname that he hadn't seen her around campus, so she, at least, is at the same college. Not having the friends at college is one of my biggest disappointments with the show. They basically skipped all of the development for the side characters in favor of the main plot line, which makes it less realistic and more contrived. Also,


I understand why the Mangaka wanted to have it done like this, but I don't like some of the parts they have skipped and changed. Like having this be the first time Rin has gone to Hiroshima. That tells me they will not be doing flashbacks about the summer festival the year the Yuzuki lived in Hiroshima, since Rin messing with people was a huge part of that portion of the manga. If Rin wasn't messing with Nanami, it is very likely she would have agreed to date Haruto before he ever realized he loved Yuzuki... then again, she might have realized that he was in love with Yuzuki without Rin playing her games...

Then again, I absolutely love the manga. It is, in my opinion, the best shounen romance manga I have read, though it really has more of a seinen feel than shounen, which is probably why I like it better than most shounen manga. (When the Toradora! manga is finished, I will probably re-evaluate... LOL! It is still my top school anime... by a hair over Ano Natsu de Matteru.)

I particularly loved the way they did the flashbacks in this episode, showing how everyplace he goes, even before Yuzuki is with him, reminds him of how much he loved Yuzuki and how special their relationship was. It reminds him of why he was willing to uproot himself and chase after her, or stalk after her really. I don't mind the changes they made to this episode, except for this being Rin's first time in Hiroshima and Kiyomi not being there too. I guess with Kiyomi not having any development, there is no reason to have Takashi in the same college...

I really expected them to get to the summer festival in this episode, but the pace was nice. A very nostalgic feel to the episode.

Your fly's unzipped?

i totally agree this is why i liked this episode so much because they showed haruto just going back to those places in hiroshima where he shares a special memory with eba.in the manga we just knew that he still liked her but in the anime i think changing the scene where he gives eba the necklace for her birthday(he actually forgot about it in the manga)to "rid himself of feelings for her" made his return back to hiroshima that much more meaningful.

zensunni said:



I was sad that they changed how he gave her the necklace. The way it was in the manga was fantastic. For those that haven't read the manga be want to I'll put the next part in spoilers...

I dont understand with haruto's feeling -_- he is kind of stupid I think :/

rajurashmi2000 said:
while haruto has always been in love with yuzuki and she with him, the way she broke up with him is simply unforgivable. while asuka is a nice person she should see this coming anyway. its yuzuki's character less behavior that annoys me the most. she apparently selflessly dated kazama while hurting haruto, but now that she's alone she wants him back even if it means selfishly stealing him from asuka. she creates a situation where she constantly hangs around haruto even though he has a girlfriend and is gonna ultimately confess that she is in love with him and cannot see him with another girl so she's gonna once again cut all contact with him, thereby forcing him to choose, knowing he will choose her. if she cut all contact after the group date it would have been fine. she's just an emotionally manipulative bitch.

mrbakchoi888 said:


yeah she is around haruto but how can you blame her.haruto works at a store that eba lives close to and she goes there often.couldnt he have found a different store to work at?for the fantasy land thing we all know getting the phone strap was more of an excuse to go with eba.also when eba told haruto that she was going to visit hiroshima he couldve told asuka that he cant because eba was going but no, he still decided to go back anyways.

scweebal said:


You also gotta put yourself in eba's shoes. She always wanted to be with haruto since she left but situationaly she was put in a bad situation and made some poor decisions that she thought was right. I think both parties made bad decisions.

rajurashmi2000 said:
i am not saying haruto is not to blame. he's to be blamed at every juncture in the series and quite possibly is the most despicable character of all. but in this particular situation yuzuki is completely at fault. hiroshima is harutos home town yuzuki should cancel, not the other way around. also haruto at no point hid the fact that he wants to be with yuzuki, she is the one who acted lovey dovey with him only to cut him off completely, not explaining things in any way. the only reason she even explained things was because that creep kazama was haruto's friend. after all that, her trying to walk back into his life is disgusting. much more importantly haruto wasn't originally interested in her, she won him over with persistence and gave him a kind of secure feeling only to do all this and no one goes to the corner store every day and she can easily avoid a part timer like haruto. as far as asuka is concerned she should have always known that he will leave her for yuzuki considering he came all the way to tokyo for her.

scweebal said:


eba did make the decision to end it but you also got to cosider that she is human and humans make mistakes that they regret. I have to agree with mrbakchoi888 on this one. they both made bad choices but love is love. quite honestly if he doesnt love asuka that much then its not fair for asuka or himself to keep the relationship going. the only reason he keeps leading her on in my opinion is wishful thinking to what should be more practical.

na35899 said:

still... that doesnt change the fact that she is a B---H, and haruto is stupid for choosing her again, cant you remember what she fuckking did to you, dam being a nice guy sure must be nice

sometimes you get together with someone you didnt love most, due to time, consequences and etc you belong with someone that you might not love as the other BUT it is ... how should i put it ..... neccessary

jose21 said:


Really, Yuzuki a bitch, Yuzuki did wrong, but did she really had an option where she wouldn't feel guilty.
Reject the guy and feel guilty that you could not fulfill his dying wish to someone that helped you.
Date the guy and feel guitly of hurting Haruto.
Also, She could have chosen not to hurt who she trully loved (Haruto), but there was also the possibilty on that time that Haruto may have gone back to Nanami, and if that would have happen everyone would have been happy (except for her since she would have lost Haruto, but at least fulfilled that bastard dying wish, and have some peace in mind knowing Haruto is happy with Nanami).

Also, I wouldn't really feel bad for Asuka. To me it was basically the same thing that happened before, only that in this case it was Haruto in the center of the love triangle.


BTW I am not 100% Yuzuki's fan, I was actually going for an Akari ending, but is not gonna happen anymore.

na35899 said:


but you see haruto decided to date haruka but he is not in any relationship right?

but when eba went on bitching over kazuma she is in relationship and didnt even tell haruto,
in my country we call that person a bitch :)

jose21 said:


She did tell him, probably not in person, but she did. Letter in the manga, a text in the anime. It was Haruto's fault he didn't notice before, if he did, he might have even stopped her.
BTW, what bitching are u talking about, when she did not even hold hands with the dying dude.
Seriously, watch carefully and you'll even notice that Haruto liked Kazama more than Yuzuki ever did.
In my opinion, this is a weird NTR in which Kazama successfully stole Haruto rather than Yuzuki

mrbakchoi888 said:


im not sure haruto couldve found out besides reading the letter(manga) or text(anime) because eba always tried to deal with problems by herself and not asking others for help like haruto.she never told haruto about lots of things and her dating kazama without telling haruto is another example of it.he couldve found out earlier by actually looking at the present instead of waiting such a long time and accidentally finding a letter(manga),but by then i dont think he couldve done anything else as eba is really stubborn and had her mind set on being with kazama.but yeah she never really looked excited when she was in the hospital room with him.at least what is shown in the anime whenever haruto visited the room eba would always be sitting and looking outside and no conversation until haruto walked in.thats why haruto told her to smile and be happy but even then she was only happy because she and kazama were talking about haruto.kind of sad how kazama never really got his "true wish" of being with eba as it was obvious she was still in love with haruto.

do the characters actually hold hands at all or what because i dont remember a scene in the manga or anime where they do.i just know they kiss here and there.

jose21 said:


Ok, Asuka did kiss haruto, but still he didn't love her.
Now, Yuzuki dealing with her problems by herself, doesn't that sound familiar. Haruto does the same thing. In my opinion, they (Haruto and Yuzuki) are so alike (both are equally dumb) that they would do the same choices if they were on the other shoes.
Kazama may have not gotten his "true wish", but even better he got Haruto's love Bentos and a worshiper for life

greenmarty said:
This must 1st anime ever where I just can't bring myself to root for main protagonist and heroin to get together (Haruto and Eba). He already has perfect girlfriend. Damn if he at least broke up with her before he's going to do "it" with his ex again....... Also it slightly reminds me of School days for some reason... At least this will not end in such a sick way.
