I enjoyed this epsiode. It feels like Shizuma and Nagisa getting a little closer to each other.

Wow they has a lot of clubs! I actually liked this episode because it showed their interaction together besides Nagisa going all goo-goo eyed and Shizuma trying to kiss her. I think this episode showed her of more in a personal light.

Nice progress in the relationship, the episode in general was cute. It was funny how they animated the piano playing, showing only the arms moving as if they were baking.

nice episode between those 2, missed that in the last 2 episodes :P
i wonder what shizuma's problems from the past are and i don't hope she rejects her now only because of what the student council president said :o

i found the piano scene to be pretty sensual in a subtle way
i also like how etoile looks at people, sort of not directly, its mystifying

A greenhouse and piano playing. I promised myself not to look for similarities but my brain wouldn't listen ;__;

If I was to pick which school I'd attend, I'd definitely go to Le Rim. Laid-back and nobody really cares about what you do XD

Aww. what a sweet episode. I have missed their closeness. I am glad it had returned for the most part. I don't think that etoile, is honestly using Nagisa. I think she genuinely has feeling for her.

It is at this point that I feel Etoile s not such an emotionless person. seeing her cry, even shedding one tear or two.,she looked up towards the sky as if she is thinking of the one she lost, either emotionally or physically. perhaps both.

This. Also, on that subject...I get the feeling that Shizuma herself isn't really sure what she's up to at this point - just what she wants from Nagisa, etc. Had I to guess right now, I'd say she may be carrying a torch for someone and feels that getting too involved with Nagisa would amount to trying to replace them, and perhaps fears she may not be able to stop herself from doing so anyway.

Am I the only one looking a little sideways at Rokujō? Right now, I can't help but feel like she's got an ulterior motive - either she wants Shizuma for herself, or she has some kind of grudge against Shizuma and is trying to break her over it. Or - though I'd call this a longshot - perhaps she wants Nagisa for herself. Why would she be so concerned over Nagisa? She doesn't seem the type to hop on the "squee cute likeable new face" bandwagon, after all. Though one more possibility just occurred to me: She's afraid of bad press from people finding out about Shizuma's apparend philandering ways. It also just occurred to me that she's been irritated at Shizuma's apparent flightiness for quite some time, and may be trying to curb it.

Give it a shot, Shizuma. Looks like you need it.

Or, she's just tired of Shizuma being flipsy turby over the students she sets her eyes on. She probably doesn't want the Etoile position to have negative feedback and then be known as the lazy position due to Shizuma's constant no show ups to meetings.


I found the piano scene to be very elegant and romantic.

We didn't have clubs or student council either lol.

I loved the piano bit and in the green house, I wonder if she was crying and the other told her to only go after Nagisa if she really likes her and not toy with her because maybe she toyed with someone else and maybe they transferred or committed suicide or something.

Emmmmmmm.. So late night tea party is becoming a tradition.. Greeeeaaaat.. No, not really, of course, but eh.. Just why really, is tea at night really that good?.. Is excitement of almost being caught pleasant?.. Eh..
Hm.. I had idea of Nagisa becoming next Etoile.. Well, as you know, she actually cares about Etoile's duties.. And now I see that she's on good terms with LeRim/Lulim members.. I actually starting to like this idea more.. I mean, if she'd actually join LeRim's club, while still learning in her own, and then somehow also joining the third school..
I actually like that Nagisa says that she was able to look calmly into Shizuna's eyes.. Her paralyzing eyes were more bothering me than romantic or anything..
And do I like the piano and other OST in this anime.. Beautiful.. Truly is..
And also Nagisa and Shizuna now spend time together properly.. With flowers.. With piano.. With tea.. Now that is something I can start calling a relationship.. We're finally getting it.. ;p
And yeah, I like LeRim.. They're more free minded.. Well, they're the youngest academy of 3.. And having clubs like that, and viewing at them like that.. And also their uniform is more today like, it also helps them to be more free minded, I feel.. Yeah, I like what we got about that school.. ;p

the fact this episode Shizuma come back make the anime drop quality; at least now she's a bitch more educated. they're trying to make her look like a normal human with empathy who don't rape kiss, don't know how to see it. i almost sure though she's a kind of manipulator. Tamao again shows she's best girl

Railroad Research Club. x3

All those flowers were beautiful. Shizuma is taking a good care of them.

That piano scene was nice and atmospheric.

Something really sad happened in Shizuma's past, I guess.

Ok this was actually a sweet episode, Nagisa and Shizuma had normal ass interactions 😍😍. I am really interested to know why Shizuma was crying. It seem like she is depressed and initially wanted to use Nagisa just to feel something(?), but then realized she has an actual fondness for her. I think anyways! But we will see.

The last few episodes have been more enjoyable so I don't think I will drop the anime :). Also if I had to choose one of the schools to be in I would definitely pick Le Rim, the others don't seem like they know how to have fun! And their uniform is the cutest ♡♡ lol.

Beautiful anime.

I like this calm classical atmosphere, great instrumental music and these light yuri shades: a look, a gesture, a hug... Just beautiful.

Nagisa is cute and silly, but Shizuma has an aura of beautiful sadness, she is like an ancient goddess.

The relationships between them is conveyed well, Shizuma is calm and confident and Nagisa is shy and submissive.

And of course Tamao's feelings for Nagisa are obvious and perhaps Miyuki has feelings for Shizuma...
