----------------------------------------
So it's around Christmas season around this time.

Glad to see the episode taking place outside of the usual school environment. Mihashi didn't seem to be in the holiday spirit though. Honda looked good this episode, like a real gentleman. I'm not surprised that he took the initative to follow his instincts and returning to see Mihashi.

Christmas time.

The main pair is worrying about the pair in trouble and wanting to help them by holding Christmas party. SuzuKen's character knows what they are up to, but he has a dinner with his family. Oh, his father is step-father...

Class rep. girl was able to come, but has limit. Her message encouraged SuzuKen's character to face both his problems. They talked and made up.

Finally about main pair next?

Xmas or better said Noel being useful for ones.
It helped out to two couples greatly this episode and Honda and the class rep managed to make up.
Hopefully they stay together this time.

Good to know that Mihashi and Honda are together again and hope it stays that way. It was a relief that Mihashi didn't board the bus. I have to say, Honda looked good.

Mashiki didn't forget her first meeting with Mishima.

Mashiki and Mishima are doing their best to bring Honda and Mihashi back together again with a Christmas party. He looked good in his suit. It's great to see them with each other again.

Glad that it worked out between Honda and Mami, love that she stood up for the cause and told her parents what's most important to her, that was the best scene for me.

I was expecting Honda to kiss her but nonetheless, this was still really great, and I'm happy that Mashiki and Mishima seem to be doing well too :)

Mashima and Mashiki have taken such a back seat since the storybook talk, i've forgotten who the protag really is.

Hope these last 3 eps really focus on them. SHE'S HIDING THINGS!

Yeah, those face expressions were too generic and they looked like copypaste from one character to another.

I don't know why I'm still watching but this show is so frustrating with how nothing really happens. The progress is too slow, add to it that 1 episode = 1 month... it seems even more slow that way. They could have compensated this with outstanding art but it's nowhere near close, for the most part we are forced to watch static animation with average quality overall. Urgh.

So things were pretty awkward between Honda and the Class Rep at the beginning but eventually it was all solved.

The main couple is getting surprisingly less screen time imo

Good to see Honda x Mihashi Progress!

Did the staff give up allocating screen time to all couples shown in OP and ED?

Masamune has not appeared in the same scene with Aki
Swimmer and Librarian had no conversation (Natsu x Kokono)
The pair in cuisine club remains as cuisine club partners (Sanagi x Nozomi)
President's confession remains unresolved

I hope the strong CV cast of this show does not go wasted... or was that intentional?

I sorta like the silly drama even though it has to be one of the most white-bread animes I've ever seen. And that party was kinda lame.

Remember the time when they said this anime was about different couples? I'm starting to think that I dreamt it...

They are not even trying anymore... and the art style? omg... what's up with those expressions? D:

Also, when I hear Mishiki say "It wasn't the first time we talked" I was like FINALLY! But then.... NOTHING HAPPENED. OMG, I wanted to punch Mishima, that guy is sooo slow! After she said that, he just stood there, and then he left, wtf... ughh I hate how slow this show is.

Even thou this anime is horrible I still love Honda x Mihashi.

They could learn a thing or two from Tsurezure Children. That's how you do a romantic anime with multiple couples.

OBJECTION! Blondie should be bowing and scraping and crying for treating Class Rep so bad. She's doing her best to get ahead in life, to get good grades so she can have a boyfriend, and he cold disses her in class. He could have been sending her little notes of encouragement in her studies or something, but instead he's just dragging her down with his drama. And trying to get away with it with a smile. Making everyone waste their time hoping he shows up... He says he's going to stop running, and then runs off.

Class rep's family is right: he's a loser. But they should let her hang out with her friends more, and let her bring friends over, so when they meet him they could say: yep, he's a loser.

He better shape up fast.
...but then again, I unironically like Warau Salesman.

And its December already then.
The christmas issue that Miharu is reading looks
interesting. Its really sad that Mami and Towa are
like that now though. Its nice that Miharu is trying
to think of a way to help Mami and Towa though. The
fact that Towa's parents are hardly there means that
he has no one to talk to with his problems either.
Hmm so Miharu thought of a christmas party to help
cheer Mami and Towa up then. The pressure on both Mami and Towa though is pretty
immense especially Mami with her parents. Haruki sure
looks nervous when he visited Miharu's house.
Its nice that Mami made it but with her curfew Towa won't
have much time. Miharu sure worked hard for this party
though. So Towa had to attend a dinner with his family then.

It does seem that Towa is pretty hard on his feelings
regarding his stepdad though. Its nice that in the end
that Towa decided to not run away anymore though. Hmm
its nice that Towa is not the only one thats made peace
though but Mami defying her family was surprising. Its
nice that in the end that both were able to make peace
with each other and in the process discover that they
ended up changing each other and thus their reason
for being in love. The moment when the two finally
held hands was cute though. Funny how Miharu's present
was a scarf but im glad that in the end everyone was
happy.

"I'm scared, but I cant keep running... I wont run anymore!"
*starts running for over three minutes*


Yeah, I know that "nigete" means to escape, flee, and run away, but the translation to just "run" before actually running was funny!

what i posted to last ep copy paste:

i am on Towa's (Honda's) side (hes words were true) Mami need to grow back bone & send her parents to hell & i don't mean it literally i mean she should say go to hell not all can be as smart as them one reason there is so much suicides in JAP is cause parents push their kids 2hard a lot of them are cause of that

maybe asking high grades from her is 2much, maybe she is slower learner but parents don't give a FUK become grate like them or die trying i despise that type of parents lucky i don't have that type of parents

she needs to stop living for her parents & start living for herself!!!!

When a girl said "aitai" to a boy, but then if the boy can't realize it..
It could be the saddest thing for the boy..

Nice story so far..
But I want more story about the other couple already 😑
