Takemoto is stuffed now. What's more important, staying by Hagu's side or his Job? > <

Wow, this made me cry.

And that final montage was masterful. Juxtaposing Morita letting go of his brother and Takemoto letting go of Hagu; trusting loved ones to the hands of others because your own are tied.

This series just captures so much in so few frames. It never ceases to amaze me.

Shuu-chan taking away a bit of pain from Hagu by offering his own wrist to bite at...that was really really touching... ._. And I'm also feeling really sorry for Takemoto-kun. I'm really curious what he's going to do...

I'm glad Takemoto seems to be taking the smart route and leaning towards the job. Yeah, being by Hagu's side is important, but it's not going to mean much in the long run if she never returns his feelings and he's left with nothing. Or worse she does and he can barely take care of himself, let along take care of her. xD Plus I mildly ship Morita and Hagu anyway. It's 50/50.

Beautiful episode. I'm surprised no one mentioned the scenes between Yamada and Hagu, which was touching as was pretty much every moment.

'Cos he disappeared as usual. Perhaps without phone.

Now I really feel some sympathy to Takemoto. He really does care about Haru. It's in his words, his thoughts.

"Friends Forever" = Poor Yamazaki XD

Kidding aside, Takemoto's monologues make me really think about real life.

I don't know if this series is going to get a happy or sad ending coz saddening events are happening around.

This is just so sad. I hope Hagu recovers soon. Where the hell is Morita!? Oh right, he has his own affairs too. But he should also return soon. Hagu needs all the support she could get right now.

And also, DID ANYONE TELL MORITA ABOUT HAGU-CHAN?!?!?!

The thing I love most about this show is the realism. They don’t just make Takemoto throw everything away, take care of Hagu and everything’s alright. Takemoto realizes that such thoughts about not taking the job and staying close by with Hagu cause many problems not only with him but Hagu, his family, and even his friends. With all of this opposition there really is nothing he can do for the moment but crawl up by himself like we saw him doing.

Morita must be feeling the same way. He says that the last time he saw his brother was that day that it snowed.

Sensei is incredibly selfless toward his cousin and he thinks nothing of it. It really is the greatest act of love to give up yourself for someone else. We also saw Hagu’s dad come visit her. As Takemoto said, all of this at once must be terrible for her. I’m glad Nomiya talked with Ayu and reminded her of the importance of being there for her.

This show really takes a genuine look at this thing we call life. It’s definitely one of my most favorite anime.

Also, I was honestly tearing up when Ayu came with the sweater.
-Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place?

-Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

Summed up my thoughts well.

Only three episodes left. I wonder how things will conclude so quickly.

This episode shows us that we must continue to move forward, no matter what happens. Life is difficult, and troublesome, but that doesn't mean there is no happiness.

Kaoru really shouldnt be jealous of Morita. He, himself, is different from him therefore special. Morita could be talented and spontaneous but Kaoru is a great entrepreneur and is very dedicated to his dreams. His teammates also praised him for his gifted imagination, kind heart, intelligence and sharp memory so... come back, Kaoru! You are great tjust the way you are.:)
Oh, poor Yamazaki! Miwako, dont put him in a friendzone!
Hagu and Yamada friendship is so darn precious! ^^

Hagu being in so much agony that she has to resort to biting her, and Sensei's, wrists until they bruise, to cope, is pretty heart-breaking.

Poor Hagu, she's suffering too much, and Takemoto now is back against the wall, he wants to be with the woman he loves but doesn't have the resources to provide a decent live at that moment, but if he takes the job proposal he could make enough money but will be away from her. I feel like the magic is gone here, and the only thing that's left is reality.

Very realistic aftermath to an accident, but I find it so weird that Shinobu and Tamaki are each doing something else (very important to both of their character arcs) and are completely oblivious to ALL OF THIS. Also, even though she is in rehab, the horrible possibility that Hagu-chan is going to attempt suicide is still on the table.

I like the fact that Takemoto is weighing his options and not just blindly sacrificing himself for Hagu, it’s a very mature scene and realistic.

I hope Hagu will get better soon and hoping Shu-chan can still hold himself up, his calmness is sort of alarming.

I have the same questions to God the same as Takemoto's right now, just in a different context and I am also looking for the right answers.. This anime and its characters are so relatable in a lot of ways.. I couldn't understand it when I watched this last 2015. Now that I'm older and dealing with the same problems, I understand now. -sigh-

It looks like Hagu's injury has forced her to make a decision. It was a bit unclear, but it looks like she can't count on her father, or can't become a burden for him. But the bruises on Hanamoto-sensei's hand reveal that a choice has been made. Hagu will not rely on silly Morita, or poor Takemoto, or even the angel Yamada. Hanamoto Shuuji will be the one who Hagu calls, the one she leans on. And it looks like Takemoto has finally become clear about that.

Takemoto should ask Hagu-chan to go with him. It will be a good experience for her. It can distract her. He will take care of her. I don't want any nonsense that he would leave her to Morita because Morita has money and can support her. This is the one relationship I approve of in this god forsaken show, and I won't give it up!
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you!
