| Kouichi x Hoshino ftw, that was really nice. I enjoyed this episode, it had a decent dose of Eriko as well and the swimsuits all looked great. :D |

Kouchi is the only real main character in the manga(I think that it's that way in the game too). His real name in the manga is Aihara Kouchi. Anyways it was a good ep., and i'm glad this has 25 eps. |
| Too bad, I would have liked to have seen Kouichi vs. Kai in the event. But Sakino showing up Eriko was pretty cool. Decent episode. |
| Great episode!!! I like Kouichi x Hoshino, but now Kouichi x Mao (maooooooneee-channnn), the serie is better. Ah, I know that Kai won't die...but I want it so much... hahaha XD (Yeah, I don't like him XD) |
nafal said: Too bad, I would have liked to have seen Kouichi vs. Kai in the event. But Sakino showing up Eriko was pretty cool. Agreed. I really liked Sakino in this ep - in the beginning of the series, I don't know that I liked her that much. I want to see what Kouichi has to say to Kai next ep though :O I'm wondering how this show is going to turn out in the end... |
| Kouichi x Mao does add some nice drama to it but I really hope that doesn't happen. And I can't wait to see some Kazuki x Asuka so we can see some more changes with Eriko. |
 |
| Hoshino x Kouchi is what i want, Mao with Kai!!! Eriko was lovely in this episode, i cant wait to see how everything turns out... |
| A nice episode. |

Splitting the main character up into multiple male leads is a good idea; one the genre could use more of. It means we get to see more of the girls and a higher percentage of them have a fighting chance of winning in the harem showdown. I think characters like Futami would have been pushed completely out of the story if there were only one male lead. Still waiting on the Naru x Nana arc. |
| damn frogs again. not to mention the dreaded BERRY BERRY RAMEN still looming about. |
 Totally forgot to post this screenshot. xD |

I'm glad I'm not the only one that wants to ruin the Mao x Kai relationship...and then have Kouichi x Mao x Hoshino harem drama! |

| It seems like Kai x Mao supporters are in the minority ... oh, well, I still support both that pairing and Kouichi x Yuumi. I see Mao and Kouichi as still having a brother/sister dynamic; they're just trying to figure out how to relate with each other at this stage in life, rather than being in love with each other. As for Kazuki ... meh, I don't care. Also, was there an official announcement that it's 25 eps? I completely missed it ^^; |

| THE FROGS HAVE GOT TO GO! D: Other than that...I <3 Sakino in this ep. I love her determination. I liked her before because of her attitude but this episode just made me like her more. And yeah, seems like there aren't too many Mao x Kai shippers and I can't say I'd like Mao x Kouichi =/ Besides, I'm also a fan of Kouichi x Yuumi because they're just too cute together ^^ |
     |
| Something about Kai just pisses me off, that's one of the reasons I don't want to see him with Mao. But in the end It doesn't really matter as long as I get to see Eriko happy <3. |

I've had enough of those in sooo many different other anime's I want everyone with they own relationship for a change! yup, i'm also kind of boring with the one-guy-ten-girls relationships.. i have a bad feeling seeing this episode, seems that Mao have feelings for Kouichi..bad bad bad... i want Kai x Mao! but somehow seeing Kai mopping or whatever he do with the silent atmosphere between them really make me pissed off with Kai..oh Kai why don't you do something?? at least talk a bit, ne..ne..a bit only~~ |

I've had enough of those in sooo many different other anime's I want everyone with they own relationship for a change! I agree with you on that.. It's wayy too common in this type of anime with a girl x guy x girl relationship... Really hope this doesn't happen in this series. A good episode and we got to se something that could have become a kiss between kouchi and Hoshino.. Damn Kazuki for interrupting.. |
 |
| Not quite as good an ep as others, but still good ^^. Looking forward to more! |

| ^ What he said Hoshino and Koichi need to start making some progress. |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |

 |
| i don't really have a problem with mao x kouichi (tho it would be terribly cliche), i just don't want them to crush yuumi in the process. sadly, i don't think there's any way to avoid crushing either mao or yuumi at this point :( ofc i am hoping to be proven wrong, otherwise this will just be yet another generic love triangle, the worst and most overused plot convention in entertainment history :( |
| mao x kouichi oh yeah that might be happen>< i hope it wont though, i am fine with hoshino x kouchi |
     |
| ROFL when Kazuki fall before the start of the swimming race!! |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| aww, really don't want a Kouichi and Mao pairing, I couldn't deal with him not saying -neechan anymore.. and if he still did I would be worried. PLUS I really love him and Hoshino, but I don't agree that they should be moving faster, I like their current slow pace :D If Mao does decide she has feelings for him, I want her to be rejected. Kouichi and Hoshino FTW! I like Kai, but after the voiceover on the preview, i don't really care if he ends up with Mao or not, as she seems reeally undecided, and he's like, now too into her as i thought it seemed a bit whiny and OTT. But maybe thats just me :( |
| Some Mao x Kouichi action would be welcome,things seem to be settling in a little too nicely. |
| so far, this is my hypothesis. It was a good episode btw. I sense drama. But this is once again my hypothesis Basically mao will fall for kouichi, however koichi will be too far into his relationship with honisho, and his relationship with mao is just as siblings so he AT FIRST wont accept it. Kai will be angry with koichi, but mao will explain and kai will get depressed. From here on it will spiral down to a few things Kouichi and mao will get together, and kai and hoshino will go their seperate ways Kouichi and mao will get together, kai and hoshino will get together Kouichi and hoshino stay together, Mao and kai build their relationship In the first to hypothesis where kai and mae are together, its probably because mae falls for kaichi and hoshino becomes too insecure so she dumps him because she concludes that hes inlove with mae, but then it really does happen. |
     |
| Ending scenes keep getting me like "what?" haha |
Apologies, I just can't avoid to rant. |
then said: I want to know how those little goggle's work on such beings with such huge eyes. LOL I had that thought too xDDDD and doesn't Mao needs huge contacts for such eyes.. O_o AHH~~ really can't get used to Mao x Kouichi couple.. I really like both Kai x Mao and Hoshino x Kouichi! |

| Kouchi and Mao...... I do not like where this is going ಠ_ಠ |
| Them nice swimsuits! Other than that the nurse scene and last scene were pretty nice! |
 |
 I just happened to pause the episode at this moment, and... I think they could have worded that a bit better, ha. |
 |
| I guess one just cannot leave out swimsuit/beach episodes eh? Surprisingly, this episode REALLY was a great eyecandy. Eriko and Asuka had nice bods, Aihara is a lucky dog! Meanwhile, the infirmary scene, while cliched, is still a d'awww moment. Dotsuki goggles, I have them! Sure helps alot when swimming, although they do cost a lot more compared to normal ones which you can get anywhere. Though fainting from a prescription goggles is still rather lame. 4/5 |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| what a coc tease... i totally thught hey were gonna kiss.... lol, but this shows so awkward... :/ |
| Everyone has their own ship ~ .. but I steer with a crusade so , its neutral ~ . They're completely opposite but mutually alike ~ . Proving they can be friends . Great Episode . Some awkward and funny moments ~ and more to come !! |

| well a swimsuit episode...expected |

Asuka kicks ass, respect for pulling off the victory. Kazuki should just wife her up and have athlete babies already |
