| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol, the afro hair.... I thought the episode was cute though. We get the holiday spirits and some decent screen time for Kurihara and Nanako. It's always nice to see the show doesn't forget about other characters. I smell love in the air.  Kurihara is such an underrated character. Grats to him and great beautiful episode. |
 |
| Of course the drama comes from a different couple, Takeo and Yamato are just too perfect to ever have any struggles. Still a good change of pace though, maybe people saying how no progress is made in their relationship ruined it for me. Yamato freaking out about her relationship at the end made me mad, she's the one only baking cakes all the time, just ask Takeo to kiss you like goddamn. Why did Kurihara have custom stickers when he was texting? Dude must be a hacking legend. |
 |
| Ore Monogatari shines with their side stories lately. He did the safe thing to get Takeo to protect Nanako, but of course, it might come off as if he wouldn't love Nanako enough to protect her by himself. I don't blame him for what he did though. Very cute stuff. SUNA WITH A GIRL WHEN? |
| LEL I always think it's funny when anime characters sing the theme song of their show in the show... they did it too in Shokugeki no Soma :D |
| That's one of the things I love Ore Monogatari, that episode made me so happy. Everytime I watch Ore Monogatari, it's like I am entering a different world. Glad that there isn't so much drama as in other Josei anime. |
| It was nice seeing both Takeo and Yamato helping the other two at that Christmas party but I think they gave them too much of a push. It all worked out in the end though and they even kissed after the Christmas party. It was funny how Nanako was acting after everyone knew what happened |
| Lol'd at the reason Osamu fell for Nanako being stared at like a worm XD We have an M Dat dere Nanako lol And Rinko got REKT hearing Nanako's already kissed But I like her colder personality more. She's more of a cool beauty...well not anymore I guess XD And ofc Suna 4ever alone T^T |
 |
| The drama initially felt kinda forced (probably didn't help that I didn't know Kurihara's name until this episode), but it led to a good pay-off when Takeo and Yamato realised that not everyone can be like them with relationships. It worked even better when Takeo got angry at Kurihara and basically told him to grow a pair. Another solid side story, but it is unfortunate that these come at the expense of any kind of development for Takeo and Yamato and their relationship. |
| In many ways Takeo and Yamato are already on the same wavelength, it's as if they've been married for ten years. Of course there are still a few steps to go through like that first kiss... I really thought this episode captured some things perfectly like how Kurihara was so nervous that he just kept acting goofier and goofier and spoiling the mood. It was also amusing how Nanako rapidly went from someone who couldn't even tell if Kurihara liked her to the expert on love who was ready to help Yamato out with advice. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
What a reflective question Nanako asked Yamato! Contrary to the popular belief, it actually means the guy despises you so much, he wants to hold your hand and crush it with great force. There's absolutely no way he might have any feelings for you. Anyways, very cheesy episode. Focusing on the side characters can be nice, but suddenly romantic developments between them felt quite forced and rushed. Would've preferred seeing Suna's side of the story much much more than Kurihara. From the looks of it, he seemed to have fallen for Nanako because of her nice legs and how she looked down on him. Masochist much? |
 |
| Hmmmmmmmmmm I guess this show wont have a new ED2 song... but anyway YO, IF THEY SAVE THE LAST EP FOR THE KISS ILL BE PISSED! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A KISS SINCE THEY FIRST GOT TOGETHER!!! |
| Nice to have an episode where the focus shifts to another couple. Happy that Takeo and Yamato's efforts got rewarded. |
 |
| Awesome ep! Nice to see Kurihara get a girlfriend. Always thought he needed the spotlight at some point. |
| Nanako's reactions were pretty fun to see. It was great to see Kurihara not backing out at the end and getting that special star. How he chickened out was a little annoying to see, though it can be quite realistic for a certain type of people. Seeing how it goes for the two sides after a new pair comes forth xD |
 |
| One of my favorite episodes so far. Loved it because Yamato and Takeio weren't the main focus point. This episode made me really happy :D |
| Dat moment when you remember that they still didnt kissed and the new couple already did. ehhh |
 |
| I don't know if anyone has said this before but I just LOVE the names of the episodes! They're so simple yet summarize the episodes in a cute way. Can't wait for "My Birthday" next week |

| This is fun and all, but we really need Suna to have something happening to him. He's still the big mistery in this whole story. |

| Takeo and Rinko were so hilarious...especially when Takeo scooted afro-kun over...lmao! OMG, when Rinko ran to Takeo after the punkguys left the karoke, sooooo CUTESWEETADORABLE! <33333 i cant take it |
| 💕 |
| I always love when Takeo's friends throw him in the air just to fail at catching him xD Pretty nice episode though it came out of nowhere and was pretty rushed but ah well, I don't really care. I just hope Takeo and Yamato's relationship starts developing soon though. |
Farabeuf said: This is fun and all, but we really need Suna to have something happening to him. He's still the big mistery in this whole story. Agreed. He needs more screentime and maybe he will fall for someone as well, i bet seeing him in love is rllyyy cute :3 |
| 💕 |
| I hope I'm not the only one who kinda wanted to punch Kurihara in the face for most of the episode. I'm glad he ended up with Nanako, but damn, watching him get to that point was sort of painful. Still a decent episode Lol, the new couple already kissed while Yamato and Takeo still haven't. They'll probably save that for the last episode |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
Congrats Kurihara for asking a girl out. I'm just kinda salty right now that he has one and Bro-of-the-year Suna doesn't. |
 |
| Cute and funny as usual, taht´s how I like it. And we even have a new couple now. But Suna´s still all alone... TwT |
| Holy Madoka! The Yuri is strong here! My Anime List  |
| My favourite afro guy got a girlfriend.... that was unexpected. |
Smudy said: SUNA WITH A GIRL WHEN? ThreePointer said: I'm just kinda salty right now that he has one and Bro-of-the-year Suna doesn't. SakBoyK said: Suna needs a girl asap. I think Suna is the most deserving to find love tbh. I mean the side story was sweet and all but I find that Suna finding love is much more interesting. I also hope that Takeo's and Yamato's relationship develop more... there hasn't really been any development at all lately. Good episode, but not great. |
| And a new lovey-dovey couple is born. xD Congrats to afro guy getting a girlfriend. x3 But he and Nanako already had their first kiss?! They beat Takeo and Rinko to it. o_O; Txunere said: I always love when Takeo's friends throw him in the air just to fail at catching him xD ^ And this! xD |
''The urban legend has a girlfriend!'' XD  Although I enjoy watching Takeo/Yamato couple, it was nice to focus on a different couple for a change. Now I'm just waiting for Suna's turn. I'd like to see him have a girlfriend before the series ends.  |

| Damn this episode frustrated me at times! I still enjoyed it. It was nice to have one spot light for the side characters. |
 |
| Lmao those guys at the beginning. Glad to see other chars getting the spotlight, my man afro going on. |
 |
| meh episode |
| Kurihara is a fucking dumbass. |
| I loved everything about this episode.....So happy for Afro-kun |
| Can't help but think that the series always seems to have a dissatisfying execution but the consequence still ends up pretty decent, madhouse has been great so far. |
| I thought this episode was really cute. |
 |
| I dunno. The guy was real prick. And there was absolutely no chemistry between two of them. It felt way too forced. I didn't like this episode at all. Also, Yamato and Gouda... they are going out for, how long just now? It's really really weird they didn't even kiss by now. Feels like their relationship is moving nowhere. |
| Odd pairing, but I can roll with it |
 |
| I see, this is just an elaborate ruse to push Takeo and Yamato to their first kiss. Where is the Suna romance episodes? Those need to happen |
 |
| Oh Afro got himself a girlfriend ?? now that was so sweet and the way Takeo encouraged him was so manly and actually helpful like seriously why are they calling him the urban legend lol |
| Kurihara is an idiot. Lol but he's cute, i love his afro. You have to be Takeo to get bro advice from the Godly Suna lol. Nanako's lovey-dovey ness at the end was disgusting xP |
| Pretty relatable situation; it's always awkward when someone is trying to pair you up with the person you like, and ends up creating more problems... Good to see that resolved though. What a cute ending. |
| First kiss already huh? Step it up Takeo |
| Hi there |
| I like the change of focus, i'm glad they didn't create any drama between the main couple since it would've felt fake and forced |
