Misunderstanding of baseball and boyfriend.

In the end, Saburou is the only one person in Koume's house knows about her doing baseball. Yay for Saburou at the end!

It seems like Kyouko is moving (as in 動き出す) next ep.

I felt so sorry for Saburou >w<
Especially at the part where he was like "please do your best" and she replied with "Un, I'll do my best!" so happily xD (but Saburou had teary-eyes!!! D': awww)
They're completely misunderstanding each other..xD
I'm glad her mom finally tells her what it was. -wipes sweat- Phew~ x'3
All in all, that episode was CUTE. x'3 Especially the ending. :'3

Awww...Saburou...xD

He was still too shocked the next day (this was after the scene were Koume tells him "I'll do my best!" -pats Saburou- there there...)
It was funny but..it was really heartbreaking to see him like that. x'3

Lol, this episode was cute and funny. I loved the misunderstanding >.<

Now, my Japanese skills aren't great, but did the girls challenge the boys to a game of baseball this episode?

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Not yet. There's a tournament after summer. At first the principle said no to the tournament, but after that old man going to the school, they finally agreed.

Great misunderstanding for a great episode.

However, it's strange that the next ep will most likely be a filler, it means that the big match, the resolution of the story (and possibly multiple sub-plots but I don't count on them being resolved) and the ending will cover only two last episode then...

Great episode. I was worried they were going to drag on the misunderstanding, but it was so great to see that Saburo/Koume moment in the end.

Looking forward to the training camp.

I can't stand misunderstanding episodes. Because the only reason they're used is if the writers can't come up with real drama. Or maybe the writers are mad and think we'll actually enjoy it? Am I supposed to be entertained that everyone in the show is going along with the farce? How about the characters clear up the misunderstanding from the get-go and then I can pass up this waste of an episode.

I'm annoyed that the obvious point of drama about Koume confronting her parents about playing baseball was wasted on a silly comedy of errors.

And why is it giving so much time to this bland romance between Koume and Saburo? It's not only a waste of time, it actively undermines the theme of sexism that should be tying the whole series together. Koume's dad choose Saburo to be her husband without even discussing it with her and we're not getting any conflict over this?

Misunderstandings are probably one of my most hated plot devices :/

Definitely my main problem with the show, I can't believe she just concedes to it without much fight.

No, I think it's more like... they liked each other since before the arrangement...

Anyways, I thought it was cute.

I know the way of thinking back then was different and fortunately the superintendent wasn't a *bleep* like that principal. Thank god I wasn't born in that era.

That ending made me feel warm and fuzzy inside :D

Well that Asaka principal got put in his place.

The misunderstanding was pretty funny yet it was also great to see Saburou and Koume develop their bond more. I'm hoping those two get together, they really do make a good couple more so than Koume x Takahara.

I'm surprised Koume hasn't refused the engagement, but then again she knows Saburou well so maybe she feels comfortable being with him and his personality.

So the supposed "filler" episode had still more influence than expected.

Also what misunderstanding and very cute scene at the end <3

I loved this episode😭😭😭 really cute. While I dont necessarily support relationships between young people (Koume is in junior high?? Meaning middle school??) and adults, Sabouro and Koume are a cute couple, age gap aside.
Also, the whole thing of her parents being offended that she would want a relationship with a boy closer to her age, not with the adult they "chose" for her was awful. But I really liked the writing and the direction of this episode, in comparison to the parents reactions, and it was really lovely overall♡
