a pretty boring episode, though I did like that drawing animation scene as well as the kiss. Yahiro's explanation was pretty funny.

I wonder what happened between Yahiro and Akira when they where kids.

Not as bad an episode as the last few but still not a lot to write about either way. It wasn't until the last 5 minutes or so that anything of note happened.

Can't decide whether to be amused or annoyed by the kiss scene. At first it was a big shock, and something that looked to move the plot forward, but then it got thrown out the window in favor of a joke.

A really funny joke, at least. I laughed really hard at both Hikari's and Yahiro's explanation...although, has Hikari already discarded the thought that Kei has feelings for her? Surprised he wasn't mentally thrown off for more often after a kiss like that.

Oh, and Akira is sure getting around in terms of shipping potential...is she going for Tadashi or thinking of someone else at the end of this episode? Yahiro might be more let down than he is now...

yeah i was thinking that too.

i don't like the hikari has totally dismissed the thought of kei liking her - itll obviously come up again later though.

also pretty much the whole episode i kept hearing lelouch lol - especially when kei and yahiro were talking.
i couldnt help it ... i blame missing code geass this week XP

yeah same, i didn't expect them to be that young either..i was thinking something more recent.
akira sure holds a grudge a long time, but yahiro's kept his promise at least.
it must have been pretty bad.

The end was quite interesting. So now we have a mysterious Akira x Yahiro relationship and then there's also Tadashi who might cause some trouble in this matter. He is sort of close to Akira.

And the kissing scene was quite funny ^^

Good episode, but I didn't like Kei's move trying to buy Hikari. The kiss was nice, at least the first part of it.

That scene when Kei heard the explanation for the kiss was the best part of the episode. Too bad pretty much everything leading up to it wasn't as good. Jun Fukuyama really nailed that scene though.

I liked that episode.

The kiss joke was great. I saw it coming, but it was great nevertheless.

I just found the "I buy your villa move" pretty crappy. I mean you could fill in such a high amount of money into a blank cheque that would get all of the money from one person (in theory). So that was a pretty stupid move, when you think about it.

I felt like they tried too hard to make the drama overdramatic. Maybe the music just kills it for me. it's so typical and... cheesy.

Anyway, i loved the kiss at the end. though they ruined the really cute "when will you stop making me worry" moment with that uber shoujo animation style.

Perhaps it's Yahiro, but I rather liked this episode. He certainly adds some flavor to the series! All the episodes he's been in I've really enjoyed. XD

The kiss was cute, and yay for more Akira~ The only part I didn't like was the check and buying the villa thing, just like everyone else. That was lame and stupid. :/

Otherwise, good episode.

Pretty good. It was funny how Hikari tried to kiss Kei and his reaction but I remember it differently from the manga.

Pretty good following-the-manga episode. Yahiro is love, he and Ryuu are two only characters I can sympathize with.

the only thing I like was the kiss and the background info -_-
I want to see more of akira's past and what she will do in the future rather than kei x hikari...

Some drama in this episode ... which felt kind of overdone to me. Is Yahiro really such a bad guy that they all need to freak out about Hikari (voluntarily) following him home? Maybe if Yahiro had sent a threatening note or something, but come on.

The Kei x Hikari moment was cute, though marred by the fact that Hikari is dumb as a brick when it comes to love. Akira's growing love triangle does look interesting, but what in the world did Yahiro do as a little boy that made her so angry?

Please tell Kei & Hikari get more character development...because at the rate it's going right now, it just looks like School Rumble in which there was absolutely NO character development until like the last 2 episodes.

Good episode in my opinion. Liked how they added some character development for some of the characters, and lol at what Yahiro told Hikari on what makes Kei happy aha (found it even more funny on that she said she was going to give one to Tadashi too, and Kei's reaction aura).

well if there wasn't a little bit plot with akira and yahiro and the funny scenes with kei i would have dropped this series by now. hikari is one of the most annoying anime chars that i have seen so far. she is getting dumber from episode to episode and it is in everyone the same thing with her. if she was out of this anime it would be quite good.

So Yahiro is once a student at Hakusen. Wonder why he was expelled.

How to solve this episodes problem. Step one, call the cops and report a high school student going missing at that creeps villa. Step Two, cops go to the villa and find her in a cage. Step Three, cops arrest the creep. Creep learns to leave SA alone. You don't go there and try to buy the entire freaking villa.....
