Great episode. Ayano will find her way but hope that Elena will find her way too because she seems to be a little lost.

So Ayano's mom left...why? And I guess because her mom left, Ayano has no motivation to continue playing Badminton...

Kaoruko comes in, beats Ayano, then leaves. And with the way she did a light touch to the shuttle cock to beat Ayano, she's got skill. Probably the best character in the anime so far. Of course it didn't seem like Ayano was in perfect shape, so we'll have to wait until Ayano finally gets her groove on.

Right...like you're one to talk. Learned your lesson now?


What...the...fuck...Kaoruko...This girl is obsessed over Ayano...guess that's why she's best girl of the show. But Ayano's mom left because Ayano lost to Kaoruko despite both of them being sick? What...the...fuck...And Ayano's crazy trance state when she's playing badminton? AND UCHIKA CUCKS HER OWN DAUGHTER? This is Your Lie in April all over again.

Well Elena and Nagisa talked Ayano into joining the club, but once again a quick resolution. Guess now they'll be focusing on getting each other into shape to prepare for the upcoming tournament...

good ep but wth getting her sick like that lol but then there's the mom i gotta say hopefully they never make up idc what the reason why her mom left i just dont want them to make up because of how she left and just picked up someone new like that

itd have to be one hell of a good plot if they make up and a really good reason cause if they just make up just like that ima hate this series

but we'll see cause i know she's gonna meet her mom again sooner or later especially now

I can't believe her mom dumper her just because she lost one game...is this for real?
I guess I believe there's someone narcissistic enough to do that in real life

I have a hard time believing Ayano can really love badminton after an experience like that, since badminton was a means to an end for her (getting mother's affection)...it didn't seem believable to me Ayano's friend is 'right' that Ayano enjoys badminton for its own sake despite that.

So sad to see Ayano like that. Cant believe the kind of mother she has, it seemed like her intentions were only to coached her to be the best, but once her daughter lost a game she leaved. Horrible mother. Hopefully Ayano overcomes that trauma.

What a ridiculous character Ayano is. She has no personality, she always just like running away or something.
And of course there is retarded parent who has left her child and having fun somewhere else.
Yeah... I've never seen this. This is new...

That was fast. I don't see any reason how could Ayano changed her reason? Only that, to be fun? So why you couldn't bring fun in the previous match? Because of the outdoor match? Damn, i dont understand you, girl. Atleast Erena reason had a valid mind, while in the other Ayano motivation keep bugging me. Was that all?

Fortunately the villain here quite funny af. Looks that pinked hair girl trying to become 'fair'. Nice attempt, girl! And wth mother of Ayano, look so shit. Oh, well. Idk how i would like the drama nonsense other than nothing to compared with.

You can't deny that little Ayano is one of the cutest beings on earth. A sudden backstory but thanks to that, we've got some more information on her and the reason why she quit. Simply said, because her mother left her after a defeat and that Neko girl is one of the shittest people I've seen. Imagine giving out your cold like that? Bruh is that even real? Anyway, the training with the teacher was crazy. High speed returns.

I can understand the 6-rating, all the changes feels a little bit too fast but I can live with it for now.

What a horrible mother...

Kaoruko is also a real bitch. To be honest, that backstory with the cold was so ridiculous, lol.

I doubt the real reason the mother left is cause she lost one match. But in the end if it is. Then that's so stupid lmao

Elena is kind of a weird character, seems kinda pitiful the way she really can't motivate herself for anything but cheer on Ayano. Certainly not a healthy attitude.
