Hirai and Yayoi's relationship sure is one thing to be fascinated at, but having Murai and Tanaka's secret relationship go public no thanks to Kiriyama...and the Chairman Yasutoshi being sure that Yamakado will handle this matter, it still has to be handled by both the principal and vice-principal formally. But Yamakado having the cheek to lie through the ring of confession to Tanaka, it certainly put everyone on all ears, and especially Murai to psychological shock. Turns out, that bass that he got when he was young and being in love with TenTen, it belonged to Tanaka-sensei of all people, which explains how he's in love with her for that long.

Tanaka having her 3D partner moment be questioned when Yamakado persistently cares for her, even heating up in fever, he's not just merely testing her, but he's also attracted to her. The inner Tanaka questioning her motive and her committment to Hitotose, as well as young Murai that she spent her time being fellow otaku, as well as the bass that she used to play, it certainly was love at first sight.

The big question now: will Tanaka realize Murai's love and keep this committed?

Yamakado is so smooth. All these flirting and loveydovey scenes only for him to lose in the end felt so unfair. I know Murai is the MC here but this 2nd lead syndrome is killing me

Sudden love triangle feels a bit contrived. Should be interesting to see what happens if/when Tanaka finds out Murai is the same boy from the past, though. Hope he wakes up soon before it's too late

Yamakado has not been letting up on the smooth moves on Tanaka, the way he “saved” her and Murai from the principal was hilarious, as was his visit to Tanaka’s home, he really seems to be hitting it off with her, making the physical manifestation of Hitotose fade away even, but unfortunately for him I don’t think it’s gonna be enough to win lol, I love Yamakado but I’m also rooting for our homeboy Murai.

And we got yet another lore drop on Tanaka and Murai, that was a cute one, I wonder if Tanaka will realize that Murai is that same boy before the show is over or not, we got one episode left so it would have to be then lol. This has been a riot of a show, gonna miss it after it ends next week, the folks who dropped out after episode 1 missed out big time on something truly unique.

Maaaaaaan, Yamakado really is a smooth criminal. As much as Murai is adorable, head teacher really making more than Tanaka nearly explode.
Sad to see we are already nearing the conclusion of the show... Wish they'd make the english localisation into a phisical release as well :c

The "rival arc" is something very common in romance anime, but I didn't think it would really be the case here. But actually they made it quite serious.
Yamakado is like the perfect enemy for murai. Simple because he's an adult, oh course, charming, smart, etc too. He's a very good guy in all aspects and an adult.


I mean, the anime is called Murai so I guess he'll win(?)
Would be really crazy if in the end she just saw murai as some sort of little brother. Huge let down but totally grounded.

Well anyways.. too bad it's just one episode left. Will it adapt the whole manga?
If Yamakado loses, he'll be another "losing heroine". I'm always sorry for this kind of character that doesn't really have a purpose other than, well.. Losing
But still I guess I'm with murai in this one

@IuryCh_Chiga It wasn't in the manga then I take it? How do you know the author didn't add it for the anime?
