Yeah she found a weakness of Yakumo, hehe this episode was pretty all right even thought I believed it should become more horror into it.

lol first episode we really saw Yakumo smile, Nao is also cute

Interesting perspective on feminity and modernity in this episode. The theme was thrown like that in the beginning of the episode but really well handled in the end. The dialogues were extremely good and mostly funny too. That was great.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

A nice and romantic episode, with some hilarious parts as well.
Haruka seems to be becoming more aware of her own feelings, i wonder if Yakumo would do the same.
Still Haruka is pretty thick headed even her friends notice this.

I react pretty much like Yakumo did whenever someone pokes me there.
Don't forget.

I really had no impression on this episode whatsoever. I really didn't have any thoughts about the show when it finished. Hmm... Well i guess we learn a very tiny bit about Gotou; was funny to see him accused of being a pedophile. =P

'People are supposed to love and cherish someone
That's the providence of nature, resistance is futile.
Asking why is meaningless.
We don't know why, but winged insects always fly.
I think people always wish for other people to the point of exhaustion'

^So beautiful.This made me love the episode.
Even as the side chara, Yakumo's uncle is quiet remarkable.

awwww...Yakumo is hyper ticklish! How cute!

Decent enough episode. I don't mind supernatural event of the week at least for a couple more episodes, especially if it builds on Haruka and Yakumo's relationship. It lacked the weight and excitement and plot of the last couple but was still enjoyable. After all the ghosts involving murder or heartbreak the need to burn a photo is kind of a silly reason for someone's spirit to linger.

Aw.. such a nice episode from the usual serious stuff. Yakumo's weakness is hilarious and Nao is so cute as usual.

Liked the 'everyone has a side of them they want to hide from the world' lesson in this.

I liked this episode, because of 4 reasons;
1. Yakumo with his shirt of :D
2. The way he reacts to being poked is just to cute XD
3. Nao is adorable!
4. Yakumo and Haruka moment/s :3

This girl with pink hair is such a bitch.
First he decides that the payment would be zero (who is she to decide his business), and then he breaks the wish of the "client" and look inside the envelope. This is worse than those characters who beat every one around them without a reason.
I wouldn't trust her with anything. Even not with being the character in one of the anime I watch....

Probably the most bland and pointless series this season. Why the fuck am I watching this again? What happened to this show being a "horror?"

I can understand the episodic nature of the anime, but this shit isn't going anywhere.

i agree. though i wouldn't use such colorful language, i agree with the sentiment. i thought it was extremely rude and inappropriate of haruka to look inside that envelope. i really dislike her now. she's a pretty useless character anyways.

disregarding haruka, i still think this is an average anime. there's nothing special about it. decent watch, but that's about it.

Wow, Haruka is one of the most annoying useless people EVER. If you're saying you're gonna go home just GO already. Can't you take a hint if he doesn't want you around? OK and you don't just LOOK into other people's things you know. If she didn't want you to look then DON'T LOOK. Wow, is it that hard? I am hating her more and more every episode
About the episode itself, it was kind of useless. No real plot development, and a ghost haunts an apartment because ... there was a picture of her looking pretty. OKAY ...
Hopefully next episode will pick it up -_-"

Yakumo's so tsun~.

Meh episode. Can't Haruka take a fucking hint? She just keeps following Yakumo, and that guy's like "STAY THE FUCK AWAY, WOMAN." He even left her behind, and Haruka's STILL following.
Stupid brainless woman.

No special reason, just because you are a female and she is a positive good looking girl that is close on getting a guy you like. Many women have this kind of bad nature, you need to get rid of the evil in your heart.

Anyway this episode could have been boring at other times but after the last two episodes that had some intercity it was a nice place to put it and since it also had progress on the romance side it wasn't all that bad at all.

I seriously fail to understand Yakumo though. What is that stupid act that he pulls? Sure he might not be an open social guy but that's different from tryinng to act like an asshole. "Oh! it's you, btw you are fat".
His behavior would have been logical if he hated Haruka but he doesn't.
The second thing is what are his feelings. If he likes her then his just behaving like an elementary school kid that can express or understand his feelings and treats a girl he likes like shit instead of the opposite.
Is he planning to be alone all his life? He seems like he decided that he has no hope of ever sharing feelings with anyone and tries to push people away because he likes being miserable. That must be it, maybe his messed mother and father relationship along with his eye being weird left him with low social self esteem and he doesn't see himself as human as others.

Haruka is quite forceful and strong as a character and that's why she still hasn't lost spirit from the treatment she gets from him. Her forceful way of putting her nose into his life might have been annoying in other circumstances but it seems that is perfect for a guy like him because that's the only way someone(especially a girl) will ever reach to making a connection with him.

Pretty average episode. Though this seems to be a pretty average series, so it matches. Haha. As long as it doesn't take a turn for the worst, I'm okay with average yet entertaining.
