THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
About time, more alone time between Anna and Natsuki. I feel like that their bond's gotten stronger. Anna is still a bit naive about love though imo, probably because she hasn't experienced it much.

Lol Mari misses her friend like usual even though I don't think they've been separated for more than a few hours. The bath scenes were priceless.

Nice, quick but nice rescue.

Proper OP clip this time with new OP song starting this time, though there are some overuse from previous OP clip.

She still doesn't know the meaning of "namba" after meeting one. It's nice they happen to ride heart cart. Nice chat they had, though they are still not a pair.

Guys and girls in separate activities including being separate rooms and onsen. Somehow the girl who hates guys are jealous (and sad) seeing how the main girl having fun talking about the love matter.

Such a sweet and fun episode.
New OP and ED as well. I liked the old ones more but the new ones were still pretty good.

The Natchan and Anna moments were so cute.
Based on what Anna says, It seems like she still hasn't developed feelings for Natchan but it's obvious that she does like him. Hope we see some more progression in her feelings and their relationship soon.

Mari feeling left out due to conversations about love :3

The boys conversation in the bath was epic,Tsuyoponnu saying upper arms XD

One of my favourite chapters is covered. And what else can I say, Anna noticing the tension between Natsuki and herself. Also, that tug is near.


I love the Nijiiro Girls. ❤

Mari doesn't hate those 4 in particular, she has something against men in general for a specific reason which I think will be revealed later on.
I know she can get annoying very easily but you people should stop with the baseless "hate".

Actually guys like Mattsun disgust her. You can actually say that she hates him in particular because she has seen him flirting with multiple girls while joking around showing interest in her. The anime curbs it very much unlike the manga. No decent girl would date someone like Mattsun just for his looks.

As for Natsuki, she doesn't hate him. She just hates the fact that if Anna gets a boyfriend, she may lose the only person who accepted her with an open heart despite her shortcomings that she is well aware of.

kawaii-despair said:

You are right on that. Hints were already given in an earlier episode (in episode 10 just before they surprised her by celebrating her birthday she tells Mattsun "They lead you on, then betray you. They only ever think about themselves.") but I think it went unnoticed to some here.

What I have been telling for many weeks now. I guess they will just have to wait and find out. Which is okay I guess. Actually a few clips in the opening gave hints that those chapters will be covered in the anime.

Anna is thinking about you as a little sister and as a best friend, not as a love interest. Just give the heck on Anna already, accept your mistakes,your behavior, just trust more with others, realize you think about yourself too much, and go out and and be with Matsunaga already! If Tsubasa found her happiness with her friends and Kazu-kun(Kazuma) from Kare Kano, then Tsusui will do the same.

I will root for Natsuki and Anna and Keiichi and Nozomi no matter what!

For a number of reasons such as Mari cares about her a lot and they're cute, but also mostly because Natsuki strikes me as the sort of guy Romeo is in Romeo and Juliet, ie fickle. Natsuki had literally only just been dumped when he fell head over heels for Anna for literally no reason beyond "she was pretty and gave me tissues". It reminds me way too much of Romeo magically getting over Rosalind at the start of the play because he merely saw Juliet. I'm still not sure entirely what he knows about her as a person beyond the bare minimum either... Personality points he's uncovered seem to be "blushes when speaking about love" and "is oblivious to flirting". But what's her favourite colour, Natsuki? What type of movies does she like? It all feels incredibly superficial.

Completely agree. I'd love to see their relationship develop more, even though I know they're going to keep it an unrequited love :( My biggest fear is Mari ending up with Mattsun... she's not interested in guys at all! I hope they can respect that

Natsuki is a maiden in heart. He's nothing like Romeo.

Maybe the prologue could help you realize.



As you can see, it wasn't just love at first sight. But for anime-only viewers it will look like it.

I don't see how that's any different... She's still a rebound he latched onto and doesn't know anything about beyond the sheer basics, regardless of what his previous girlfriend was like.

You're telling me it's 2016 and people are still writing stories where girls that are lesbians are just damaged and only need the right guy to realise they really loved men all along and were just lying to themselves? My god. I knew there was a reason I avoided shoujo romance, this is ridiculous.

We are on the same boat. Also, if they adapted Keiichi's THAT arc, I am not sure he would be this popular to anime-only fans. I really like Nozomi's dedication. But thinking about her being with Keiichi makes my heart bleed a bit (readers will know).

My favourite in the anime/manga are still Tsuyoshi and Yukiko (who happen to be the most popular amongst readers in Japan). I think all the Nijiiro Girls are plenty adorable. But as I said before in the other episode discussion thread, Nijiiro Days depicts falling in love when they never see that coming — Natsuki (who always liked expressive and energetic girls) with Anna (not expressive at all and far from energetic), Mattsun (who is a womanizer and with a principle of not having a special one) with Mari (certainly special, in ways more than one), Tsuyoshi (who never intended to get a girlfriend) with Yukiko (a match made in heaven) and Keiichi (who is into whips and older women only) with Nozomi (two years younger and impossible to hurt type).

I totally agree. I was really horrified that Keiichi is like that.
When I started watching it, I was comparing the guys to the characters from Free! (haha) Tsuyopon = Haru, Mattsun = Rin, Nagisa = Natsuki, and
Keiichi = Makoto, the kind and gentle Makoto (I'm a stupid fangirl like that).
Anyways Keiichi was sort of kind and gentle aside from being an S, but I thought it was just fun for him to whip people, not as a
LOL
So same as you I don't want Nozomi to end up with him. likkkkeeee xxxxxxx NO. he pisses me off more than Mattsun. But it is inevitable in this manga

Well, they are #RelationshipGoals xD
wowza Thanks for bringing that up. I didn't think of it that way, except for the Mattsun x Mari route since that kind of trope is pretty common in the shoujo world.
