| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah, Sayu really shows her appreciation to Yoshida in this finale. Even her brother trusts Yoshida more than ever now. A lot of teasing scenes as I had expected between the two. It kinda reminded me of the first episode when she an Yoshida first met. Oh and of course that signature smile of her although it seems more geninue in this finale than compared to the first episode. . It felt kinda anti climatic imo but it is what it is. |
 |
| If anything, this is a very safe ending, but a good one nonetheless. After Yoshida and Issa's Dogeza, now it's Sayu's turn to face the music with her mom, and it's the most excruciating of all between mother and daughter whose lives are wrecked, and then amended by coming to a consensus. As expected, Sayu teases Yoshida until the very end is kinda cute to see..even towards her original goal of doing sexual favours, because why wouldn't she be. But the chad Yshida remains the same as he'd be, even gaining the trust of brother Issa for helping him find Sayu. The time to depart has come, and both Yoshida and Sayu have to go back to whence they belong...but the runaway journey will forever etched in the heart of the JK and adult in full character. Hopefully when Sayu grows up to be an adult, she'd chase after Yoshida, and with legit reasons of the year-long journey, and it's sad to see them apart from each other...though it won't be the last. Yoshida's apartment certainly felt the same coldness from the very beginning now without Sayu, and feelings truly are hard to let go. Even if Gotou and Mishima still rival themselves over Yoshida, his heart only goes to one person: the girl at the lamppost waiting for him all grown up a bit...a symbolism to the very first episode. This is easily leaps and bounds better than KoiKimo IMO, a dark romance show that is indeed dark, and getting wholesome through to the end. I can finally check this good adaptation off my checklist. |

| I really enjoyed this anime it was really good so it's nice to see a good ending as well. The Yoshida needed to realise he was missing something. Well you only miss her when she is gone, and Yoshida proved it. Despite not saying he loved someone there was a clear winner the the winner was a bit obvious from the start. Hopefully they will be happy together. |
| Interesting ending to say the least, find it kinda upside down for sayu to apologise like that but yeah. Cheeky little nod to the start of the anime after the end scene credits. Anywho, yeah like I said I don't understand why she apologised and then why her mum decided to straight up say that she won't apologise because she did nothing wrong, like okay suurreee??????? And then her realising shes a single parent after 17 odd years is just the cherry on top, the entitlement that this woman gets through is crazy. Yeah, I know the facts with single parenthood and I've heard how hard it is raising a child by yourself, but from the get go she didn't raise sayu at all and then has the audacity to say nothing was wrong with her parenting and it took her 17 and a bit years to realise she was a single parent?? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that completely threw me off, I guess it might've been a way to admit her mistakes whilst maintaining her pride but that was fairly out of tact. Get her mental health checked out or something, there's something seriously wrong with her thought patterns especially after last weeks episode. Sayu snuggling up to yoshida was cute, albeit dodgy when she asked for yoshida to sleep with her in her house when her family is there - girl you freaky- but I assume she already knew the answer judging from how she reacted, just wanting to confirm her feelings for the later scene. Their talk was quite sweet, really driving home that parent child chemistry they had. The airport bit was stupid IT'S FREE MONEY FROM A MILLIONAIRE TAKE IT AND GO! Jokes aside it was fairly sweet for him to basically put the money towards sayu's clothes and the whole talk with Issa was nice. Him asking whether yoshida had fallen for her was a sticky one indeed, he was in love with her but he hadn't fallen for her - loved her more in a familial way at that point I HOPE. Sayu's confession was obvious but nice, getting her feelings out of the way and yoshida's slight pause was interesting, but him denying her by blaming his tastes then denying her based on his age when she grew up was quite good. They both could've been a bit more honest, and it was stupid for yoshida to say that she should put her memories of him aside, because he played such a pivotal role in her life. Him coming home to realise how much he missed her was bittersweet, both of them moving onto better things but not being able to show each other, almost like sending your kid off to uni xD! Gotou and Mishima still fighting over yoshida, with yoshida being clueless about their feelings is basically the status quo now (even if gotou confessed to him) and the true best character of the show coming back in was lovely to see (Hashimoto the wife having therapy giving co worker xD). BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO ASAMI? She went through some drastic changes over the years, and nice to see her following her actual dreams of writing instead of what her parents want her to do, and finally sayu returning ends the series off as it started, Can I stay at you house old man indeed. On the whole, a darker story, but was executed okay, feel like a lot is missing to make it into something more cohesive, but what the heck I enjoyed it a lot. Happy they didn't Usagi Drop this, but leaving it open ended still allowed for the best girl debates to never end - clearly Asami btw, fight me if you disagree. Now let's see what my mondays are going to filled with from next week onwards! |

| Looks like this is the end to this season or story I guess. I don't know. But, it was great nonetheless. I enjoyed it very much. Sayu finally managed to tell Yoshida her feelings and her love confession. Yoshida still a chad telling her he's not interested in young girls. LOL In the end, Yoshida does miss her and the things without her at his place. He even shed a tear. Poor guy. Gotou and Mishima are still after Yoshida. LOL, And what's that? Sayu's back once again. Just don't go to jail once again Yoshida. Sayu has such a sweet smile. :3 I hope they'll be happy together after. |

| The ending wasn't really bad at least since it's rather happy but to be honest I feel like this is just wasted potential... I think the story could have been interesting and good with settings like that but it got wasted because of a very weak writing especially for the characters and the second half of the story... too many things to say anyway but I don't want to argue xD |
 |
| Ending was pretty underwhelming, felt like one single goodbye scene for around 19 of the minutes, but I doubted anything new or even interesting would happen anyway, at the rate it's been going. Don't take this as a negative review either - it just felt... Neutral. A decent ending to a decent anime that probably could have gone further, but is what it is. |
| So last ep end with them didn't date (yet), but still open for S2 possibility. I guess it's kinda safe for that route because their age difference isn't that much, unlike After the Rain or Daughter's Friend which screaming for jail. Lol But ofc I ship Gotou, mature woman ftw. |

| Wow, what a ride. Ending was a little anticlimactic, but in the end Sayu was able to confront her mother and move on from the past. I didn’t really like how she apologised to her mom, but I get it. That headpat from Yoshida meant more than sex ever could you Sayu. What a great guy. Overall really enjoyed this show, a lot of people didn’t give it a fair shot because of the title or rumours, but it really was a nice anime. Probably won’t get a season 2, since this was mainly made to promote the final LN volume that came out last month, but here’s to hoping. I loved that farewell between Sayu and Yoshida. Sweet confession, but leaving the recipe book was the icing on the cake. It’s hard not to develop an emotional attachment to someone you’ve been so close with for so long. Great call back to the first episode and their initial meeting with that closing scene, well done finale. |

| Lol that end cracked me good, so it ends just like how it began and woa there are we getting an ova/special? Aside that pretty allright finale. The farewell was okay but watching Yoshida being miserable at his house alone was pretty sad to see. Kinda hit hard for some reason. We got a timeskip too. Two years have already passed and getting to see a grown up Sayu was a big bonus. Okay anime overall. I really liked this at the begining but it became quite boring around the middle and everything from Sayu's friend's flashback was meh. Still it was an okay watch and I really liked Yoshida's character, this guy's too good. So final score Yoshida/10. |
 |
| Eh pretty anticlimactic ending, but I guess it's aight. I think that this initially had a lot of potential, but the second half of the anime felt like I was watching a telenovela or something... Also, I just realized that they've never revealed Yoshida's first name lol. |
| When Issa said "I don't think age matters in love" I was like, I don't about that, homie. That's kinda sus... |
 |
| Nice Yoshida, steady to the end. Sweet farewell with that confession Nah, that last scene AAAA We won't know who he will choose in the end... Good start, I loved it, then I lost interest, I think it happens to me with a lot of seasonal ones lately .-. This episode was very good 5.5/10 |
| As expected,. The ending scene with Yoshida met Sayu again at the same ol' electricity pole was something I expected to happen. The ending was pretty a good wrap-up with an open ending. btw, the adaptation wasn't good as I expected it to be. It was too rushed and the studio cut a lot of important parts. I understood that the director wants to put all of the 5 volumes of the light novel into a 13episodes anime, which isn't enough. But it still felt too rush for me. I would encourage to read the light novel from the start instead for completeness and a better perspective of the story. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Asami is the best GIRL without no doubt. In the beginning, it was okay, then it became a letdown, especially the whole last episode. Overrated in MAL. 6/10 |
| RE:ZERO !!!!!!!!!! |
| Is there new episode coming after? In the end we saw "next time" title 🤔 |
 |
| Goodbyes and new beginnings as we end this overly long and underwhelming show. I hope Yoshida ends up with his boss with the big, beautiful tits. But if that ending is anything to go by probably not, oh well. I might be more upset if I cared at all, but really the biggest weakness of this series was how little I cared. The drama that was the crux was just not effective for me. Not to get too personal but I had a friend actually commit suicide in a somewhat similar manner when I was not THAT much older than Sayu, and still felt nothing during the reveal of her trauma. Nothing. That's....not good. Combine that with how I didn't care for how the series handled any of the other drama like the mom and the attempted rapist and it was just not great. Generous 6/10, I'll forget this existed soon enough. |
| So I guess she is already 18 in the last scene? |
| I had hope for a season 2 but this ending is good ,should i rather say it was a deep and emotional episode. Sayu and her smile that will never change haha. I really enjoyed this anime.! |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| It's finally over! The shitty melodrama in this anime had me bored as shit. 3/10 |
| the hell that was a very unclear ending. was this adapted completely? I guess not. |
| HAHAHAHA did the animators give up at the end? what were those shitty dragged still shots lmaoooooo fuck so him being the next messiah wasn't an overblown shit, everyone wants his mediocre penis HAHAHHAHA what the fuck was this episode lmaoooo peice of garbage anime HAHAHAHAH COULDNT HELP BUT LAUGH GROOMINGHIRO |
| Well, that was sort of touching honestly. Aside from the bed scene which just created more room for controversy xD, everything else played out fairly as expected. "Yoshida taking care of Asami-chan now? Good riddance." - My first impression when Yoshida-san's friend teased that. Good to see that Gotou-san and Mishima-san aren't bailing out on the race but it seems like the conclusion seemed to suggest otherwise sadly. Definitely interested to check out the another story featuring the two, hopefully that gets an English translation and doesn't beat around the bush. All in all, I was really interested with the start and even ended up binge-ing the released chapters of the time. But the hype surely dropped by the week and I'm left with an almost indifferent impression now. As such, a generous 6/10 I suppose. |

Fuyukiw said: When Issa said "I don't think age matters in love" I was like, I don't about that, homie. That's kinda sus... He couldn't be more right though. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| That's finally over, at least it was until the end of the manga. |
 |
| Didn’t like their development. It started so strong for me & I liked it but it seems to me the story took on a theme that they didn’t know what to do with. I guess my expectations were just too high. And the melodrama was really silly at times. Meh.......it feels like such a wasted opportunity. Guess it wasn’t for me. It wasn’t awful & it made me tear up quite a bit but I can’t help but feel underwhelmed — at both the series as whole & this last episode. And that very ending that tried so hard to shove FULL CIRCLE!!!!!!down our throats. Yuck. That was really the final nail in the coffin for me lol Well I guess, Yoshida did the right thing till the end. He’s the only reason I kept watching, tbh. If anything, Sayu was really getting on my nerves these last few episodes. And I hated that rooftop scene so much, she knew she wasn’t ready yet had to drag Yoshida all the way to her place of trauma to carry out some self-serving melodrama. But I digress. Anyway I’ll miss the OP!!!! DIALOGUE+♡ |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| So at the end he will probably still be with Sayu and the moral of the story is to groom JK girls to make them your future girlfriend ala Drake or Di Caprio? dont get it |
𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕘 |
| Uh, not digging these romantic vibes between the two. I thought this episode would just show the aftermath where Sayu would (probably) go back to school, but we didn't even get much about that this episode. I don't even know about her mother's situation after all that; not satisfied with her response after Sayu's apology. All that buildup for some emotional teases and grooming... sigh. Have mixed thoughts with this series. May have been nicer with a better conclusion and without the romance thrown throughout |
| Well, I'm glad Yoshida was able to stick to his principles up until the end, even if there were so many moments where he could have submit. I was expecting him to drop the ball at any time such as when Sayu teased him in the bed at that one scene but he didn't and the ending was more wholesome than I expected as a result. Gotta say, I'm not into this genre of drama novels to safely compare it to others but at least it kept me hooked even if involved a lot of questionable topics coming mainly by how each character reacted to each situation. There were some I related to while others I didn't at all. It's hard to say if I'd recommend it to anyone as the reception can be mixed regarding what's happening on screen. Nevertheless, it was good in my eyes. |

| YOSHIDA CHAD IS DEAD T-T |
| Feel pain, think about pain, accept pain, know pain... Shinra Tensei! |
| Anyone think we'll get a season 2? |
 |
| Well i dont want making some arguement specially that you making a bad comment specially the word "Trash or Overated" or else you want to be expecience just t What happened im the news in Japan that a "A salemen caught on the police because he kept a teenage girl inside the house" and they post on the social media few weeks ago and the post the title "DONT TO BECOME HIREGIRO"... anyways lets go back the story, i really love the kind of story. Its because the story was base on the reality specially the issue about run away teenage not in japan but all over the world that was the same problem. And thats why they want to show the anime due to not properly caring and love realtionship between the parents and their children that will lead to misunderstanding and tons of arguement that cause of separated between the parents and children.. And that was example for Sayu Problem that at the end both of her and mother already reconcile each other after she left her house and she travel from Hokaido to Tokyo until she stay to Yoshida's house for almost 6 month and she back to her home to resovle her problem and here it goes, case already close...😅😅😅 But in terms about there is an OVA episode, the truth would be a half lie and half truth |
 |
| Was a good ending. Dodging the "dating a minor" bullet at the end. Now what?A spin-off with Sayu and Asami (Who looks like very close to Yoshida) will have a fight to show dominance? |
