Wow this was a good episode, and i thought episode 16 was good with all the confessions being thrown around.

that was such an adorable kiss scene with tatsuya and minami!!! they're so cute. i loved how he knocked the guy out when she was cheering for him, and how kazuya's pitch got a home run. that was a funny moment. and i loved how they kept alternating between the baseball game and the boxing match.

i'm really addicted to this show =P

Wow so much development and it's not even 1/3 into the series, it makes really curious how they're going to top these moments in later episodes.

Also Harada's such a nice guy, he's pretty much the best character in this show.

Fucking fantastic episode. I like how this series has been so natural with the development of the relationships. Wonderful kiss scene as well, it didn't seem forced or anything.

Awesome episode! Looks like Minami really likes Tatsuya... Maybe she sees Kazuya as friend, maybe

Such a great show, Touch is! Every episode has such great moments!

Another great episode. The characters are developing so quickly. I get the feeling that she might eventually be caught doing stuff with the older brother and people will think she's cheating on the other one.

I really like the way the show handles the drama, it felt natural/not forced at all. The kiss scene was outstanding to say the least. I also liked the fact that Tatsuya was winning and actually managed to get his opponent down for a count atleast :P

Finally Minami is taking the steps forward to the relation with Tatsuya because he wouldn't never do it by himself. And Harada is such a good friend waiting for Minami and telling her how was the boxing match for Tatsuya. Hope Tatsuya finally start fighting for what he wants and not surrender to his brother.

Okay, Minami was really mean wishing that it would continue to rain just for the baseball game to be postponed for her to go, and watch Tacchan's match.

Kacchan was trying hard for her sake, but she could've been honest with him, and go to root for Tacchan. It would've hurt Kacchan, but it would've been for the better. She even kissed Tacchan when he asked, but it seems that nothing is going to change soon, but knowing that the two of them like each other, and are only holding back for Kacchan's sake makes this a bit hard to watch.

I know that they care for him, and that they don't want to hurt him, but those are just the main reasons to be honest if you ask me. It's like they are pitying him, but then again, they are just teenagers, and they are finding things out as they live them, but still.

Really great episode, sticking with this series pays off big time.

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

Man last episode the confessions and this episode the kiss that just blended perfectly with the moment, makes me worry how they are going to top those moments later on. Tatsuya surely must realise by now that Minami likes him and not Kazuya, and that he should stop letting his lil bro take everything

Predictably, Kazuya won the baseball match. And Tatsuya lost his first (practice) match. I think it'll take time for the gap in sportsmanship dwindle between the two brothers. Tatsuya is naturally talented but since he didn't practice for so long he might as well be a rookie. I know that if he genuinely starts practicing he'll surpass Kazuya in no time, which is why he's holding himself back.

The progress in this anime seems fast. I think there'll be more filler arcs later. I don't consider the past episodes to be filler since they genuinely developed some side characters and gave the main characters extra layers of depth.

She has absolutely no interest in Tatsuya, she didn't even think twice before deciding to go cheer for Kazuya. Also that pitty kiss meant nothing to her.

Very great episode. Feel's bad for Kacchan. Nicest guy giving his heart and hardwork to be the best version of himself and to please people.

For real. In this moment, it's the best to cut the grass when it's low.
It's like a disease. If you heal it quickly it won't hurt that much. The more you wait the worst it gets.
So i feel bad for Kacchan. Man can't catch a break even though he got lot of girls attention...
he's brother is better in everything and has more talent. The only thing he's better is he's a hardworker with discipline.

from episode 1 to 17, all the flag tends to think that shes 1000% into Tatsuya and have no interest in Katsuya.
Katsuya said he loves her and she didnt reply back.
She said she loves Tatsuya, pray for him, take care of him better than Katsuya, cry for Tatsuya and even kiss him.

What's more evidence do you want lol?
