| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ha, going shopping for a bra and girl underwear... This turned out to be some awkward shopping date. The segment at night made me roll my eyes a little. Poor Ikuo. |
 |
| Touru's face when the guys where talking about being manly was so funny she really likes that kind of thing. Anyway Kyouko didn't understand the underwear sentence from her sempai which resulted in some funny scenes and the lingerie shop. And they are becoming more aware of each other which is also nice. |
| God the pacing on this show is so ridiculous. |

| So that's the girl from the next arc, I suppose. Tooru........I like Kyouko but still :'( |
| Definitely the best episode. Shouichi and Kyouko were together almost the whole time in this episode. Their dynamic is amazing together. The only focus in this episode was the romance. It seems like that girl who came rolling in is the girl for the next arc (if they do another one 12 episode season of course) |
| Shouichi and Kyouko had some nice moments together. He decided to become more manly after seeing what Ikou went through. |
 |
| Great episode. This is turning out to be the best arc of the series, Kyouko and Shouichi are my favorite in terms of pairing. They have a lovely chemistry together, especially since they're childhood friends, so their romantic development feels so much more natural and intimate. They better end this well, next episode. Kyoko was just so adorable when Shouichi patted her head. <3 Technically she was adorable throughout the whole episode but full points for the head patting, oh and the pantsu shopping. XDD Ikuo was rejected, poor guy. :( Tooru with the wise words, nice to see her again. :) That Moe-nee misunderstanding. XDD Nice seeing Shouichi fired up at the end. :D Looks like the girl who barged into the Home Eco club's room is the one for the next presuming they do another season. |

| Truck-kun just wants senpai to notice him. He's going for that cliché where they bump into each other, which marks the start of their blossoming romance. He just doesn't quite have the speed down yet This was definitely a very nice episode for me, save for the dramatic irony revolving around both of them misinterpreting what they said to each other. I think my preference character-wise is Hikari ≥ Kyouko > Tooru. I love Hikari's personality the most, but I think Kyouko's personality and interactions with Shouichi feel the most natural and intimate, whereas Tooru I couldn't quite buy into The Ikuo scene started off making me laugh at his actions and him falling down the slide, then I felt bad for laughing at his coping mechanism, then I burst out laughing again at the weird bromance between him and Shouichi. Shouichi - Hears about Ikuo's rejection. In a consoling tone "Ikuo, let's play pro-wrestling together on Christmas night." Ikuo - emotional and distraught "It's no good, with me being like I am right now... I won't even be a match for you in playing pro-wrestling!" Next ep I hope it goes well and naturally, please don't be contrived or anything, I like this arc and want to stay that way. Next ep seems like we'll get some Hikari appeal during the Santa competition. Can't wait for that Lelouch0202 said: I would actually like to see her arc, I like her design, but I haven't seen enough of her personality. I won't pray to the gods for a season 2 but I definitely wouldn't be opposed to it, since I'm interested in Miu and RuiseLooks like the girl who barged into the Home Eco club's room is the one for the next presuming they do another season. |

 "If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick."- Oreki Houtarou |
| That truck scene in the beginning, i thought i was watching some other anime =/ Such a weird episode, she knitted panties for him and then invited him shopping for panties for herself and wanted to try it openly ... And in the end the red-haired girl rolled into the club, that was so random. 1 episode left, let's see how the confession played out. |
 |
| Pretty amusing episode, but it would definitely be nice to see some solid romance content just to finish the arc off with a bang. |
| dem mockery of Fuuka lol The truck scene is basically telling that the usual, boring way is still way better than that piece of s*** we got at Fuuka |
| I wonder how next episode is gonna turn out! |
| So. Awkward. This isn't how you do romance. |
| One episode left. This is probably the best arc out of the other two, so hopefully this arc will have a decent conclusion as well. |
  |
| Probably my least favorite girl and arc. Glad this is almost over. |
 |
| typical guy becoming embarrassed over bra shopping ...how are girls so daring and then play it off like they are so innocent.... One episode to go |
 |
| Kyouko knitted Shouichi underwear with a hole in the front! So she doesn't just see him as the girl next door! lol |
| Why do the subs keep referring "yasashii oneesan" (nice older sister) as "girl next door?" They're not even the same in meaning. I swear, Crunchy subs are making it more enticing for me to just watch anime RAW. Anyways, yeah the episode felt like it's not clear on what it's supposed to focus on. The Founder's Day subplot or Kyouko's romance. Unlike Tooru's arc, the former doesn't really complement the latter as well. Hopefully the finale salvages it all. Kyouko deserves a decent ending. |
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| This arc is better than the second one. I think I like Kyouko. |
| A pretty nice and warm episode. Not much happened about from the romance. I'm starting to like this arc even more. One more episode left. Tooru just fall for Shouichi when he was comforting Ikuo. Feel really sorry for him. Can't wait to see how this will end. |
 |
| Oh come on, I know some girls can be a bit naïve at that age, but this is just ridiculous. Also, Kamita wants to become a man by doing push-ups? Really? Apart from being the worst, this is also the arc with the least amount of credibility. Best part was when the EC club screwed up their cakes: it made me realise how good this could have been with a horror or mystery element to it. Then again, that might make it to close to a poor ecchi version of Hyouka. |
| "I'm a middle schooler bartender!" - Mishima Hitomi |
 Truck-kun averted! What kind of sorcery is this...? |
 |
| Didn't like the episode. I watched it with a pity...especially seeing how Kamita behaves good that this is ending in next week or I would have to lower my vote again |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| Kyoko, if you see me as a girl next door, why would you leave a hole in these? This is some "Sherlock Holmes" level shit.  |
| Tsuneki is best girl bruh, deal with it This episode was alright....The relationship between these two is the most natural it seems |
| If Kyouko's arc ends in the same manner like Rihoko's then this arc is trash. |

| Shopping for pantsu with the childhood friend, so cringy yet hilarious. Kyouko wanting the little kid pantsu at first xD I don't get how shopping for pantsu can get embarrassing. Moe-nee in that flashback scene xD So cute. Araki's way of trying to persuade the girls lol. Nice to see Tooru again. Personally I found her the most likeable. |
 |
| Kyoko is confused about how she feels for Shoichi eh. The step from childhood friend to lovers is a large step though. Its certainly understandable. Man that was a close save from death there though. Man what kind of driver just goes through a red light like that. Good thing Shouichi got there in time though. Since the home EC club only has so few members decorating the tree on their own is no easy task. That explains why Kyouko looks so tired though. Its funny seeing the usually bold Kyoko be so nervous though. Hmm so Kyoko wants to go with Shoichi to the Christmas date after all. In terms of experience i guess Araki has more experience with girls than Shoichi does lol. Lol though against Hikari even that wouldn't work lol. Araki and his rabbit jokes though lol. Kinda glad that Kyoko is able to fit well enough into the hand me down coat though. A childhood friend forever eh. Well it's a good idea to take things slow at first and let things progress naturally. Lol the first present from Kyoko is a hand crafted pair of under's eh. I can see why Kyoko is so embarrassed though. Lol Kyoko actually believing on her sempais and taking Shoichi to go shopping in a woman's underwear shop eh. Lol not knowing where to look is a common problem when in such places. Kyoko sure has a weird idea of underwear though. Who goes shopping with their older sister for underwear anyway lol. Lol Kyoko seeing Shouichi as the boy next door eh. Kyoko's attitude changing as Shouichi got serious was funny though. Lol even when pouting Kyoko looks cute. But its nice to see that Kyoko wasn't angry that things ended like that though. Hmm the decorations for the tree sure are impressive. At least the head of the PMC is now pleased with the results. Lol so that think that the chief touched was undies again eh lol. Lol using old cloths for Christmas tree decorations sure is interesting. Its nice watching their relationship change and advance though. Kyouko isn't the middle school friend anymore you know. Its nice that Kyoko seems to be enjoying her time at the club though. Lol Tomoe's punishment for Shoichi using her gear without approval was hillarious. Hmm so Shouichi's friend is in shock that he got turned down eh thus turning to this stunt eh. On a plus note its nice to see Toru and Shiori again. Re enacting the motions for the hero eh. Being turned down is a hard experience though but its nice to have friends with you that you can lean in when it happens. Looks like Kyouko is starting to develop feelings for Shoichi though. A horror reindeer story eh lol. Lol being picked to check out the suspicious noise poor Kyoko. Lol guess the visitor did find the Ec club after all. Hmm Both Shoichi and his friend share experiences in that both got rejected. But in this case it looks like that may change soon. But he sure looks frustrated now. Lol Tomoe getting scared away by the hand knitted undies. A morning run to clear the head eh. But its nice to see that both realize that they have feelings for each other after all. |

| Truck-kun almost made his way to Seiren... On another note, it was a rather curious episode. In a good way, unlike the previous arc. I wonder whether I'm getting old or the actions of those youths are almost nonsensical. The strong bromance notes were pure gold, though. Moe-nee was also glorious. |
| Agreed on the fact that the two main characters have actual chemistry together compared to previous arcs. |
 |
| yeah...really...a boring arc. 2/5. |
 |
| trying to turn a childhood friend into a potential girlfriend is some next level shit. someone you've spent most of your life with, and only now in high school you start developing feelings for each other. it would feel odd, and by messing it up you wouldn't be able to confront each other the same way as before - it would just feel awkward. i think this arc will be the hardest for kamita to have everything worked out at the end |
 |
| Nice focus on romance this arc. Innocent enough. |
 |
| Not too shabby development, let's see what the last episode has to offer though! |

They count only the open ending of the 1st season which, I agree, is disappointing, so it's good they fixed it in the 2nd. |

I'm referring to the 1st season that ended uneventful which took a 2nd season to fix. |

| Not sure if friendzoned or.. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I don't know if feel bad for Ikuo or to laugh at his reaction to him being rejected. Poor dude. Also, I was wondering what was happening between Ikuo and Shouichi last episode and it turns Shouichi was just imitating Araki, lmao. |
 |
| Shouichi likes to talk about "pretend wrestling" with Ikuo a lot. ;) |
 |
| Same procedure as in the other arcs, only this time he gets shot down an episode earlier before getting into a relationship with her. Also she really has the brain of a child. |
| I hope for a good end, this arc is really good so far |
