Poor Mako-chan, loved the skit with Yoshino. And Hosaka wins as always, although, it might be just me, but he looked really funky this episode.

I'm conflicted. I don't know if I want to punch Hayami or shake her hand. 2 face slaps, a swift kick and still keeps Haruka's bento? Of course, if she hadn't kicked Hosaka there wouldn't have been the beautiful 'on the floor' fanservice. (sigh)



Haruka isn't going to abandon her babies. No way would she leave Kana in charge. I bet Hosaka would jump at that job opportunity -- taking care of Kana and Chiaki if Haruka were to study abroad.

Mako-chan needs to come out of the closet.

This is a fact I've always been well aware of, but isn't going to be rather interesting once those not in the know discover Mako-chan is truly Makoto? (That's what I meant about coming out of the closet.)

I am cringing at the thought he may possibly have to stay forever as Mako-chan in order to be at the Minami-ke's home.

Another boring episode apart from Chiaki scenes and Hosaka in the end. Those were the only scenes that managed to put a smile on my face.

I start to believe that I only still watch the series because of Hosaka...I mean..I was happy just because he said 'Okawari' in the break. >_>+
Except Hosaka the Episode wasn't that funny...but not that bad either.

The only worth this season has for me is to aid me in my Japanese learning. As for this episode, Hosaka got the only smile from me, and its sad and disturbing that seeing a teen guy with his shirt completley open is the only part of an anime episode that makes me smile.

I am worried.

That was terribly boring, pretty much all of that. I liked Hosoka's part, but something seemed off about that scene (maybe the pacing) that held it back from being loltastic. Wasn't the whole idea of Mako-chan so Makoto could see Haruka, that seems to have been forgotten in this season. Also, Yoshino and Chiaki are very stupid for not suspecting Mako-chan already, why would a supposed middle schooler be doing hw with elementary school students. There are too many holes in his guise for the writers to keep milking off his novelty, but I doubt they'll stop.

Loved this episode. <3 Mako-chan and Hosaka.

This episode was all over the place too. *sigh* It just left me flat, again.

What was the point of that video game/movie clip in the middle of the episode off Kana's DS? And does anyone really think that Haruka would leave her sisters and go abroad? And what was up with Chiaki's hair splitting into two? And did the food dream thing have a point? ...And I hate the fanservice.

Meh.

i just cant help but smile when i hear hosaka's voice. like when he was like "okawari!" well then again i do have hosaka's voice as my text ringtone.... actually, i think the only thing that keeps me watching this show is the voice acting and background music... cause it's the only thing that stayed the same from the first season.

hosaka did look realy odd at the end though. his facial expressions seemed really off. and like lowell said, this episode was too all over the place in general.

i did get a little nostalgic when kana grabbed her friend's skirt. made me remember the skirt grabbing fight in season 1.

meh, theres not that many episodes left so i'll probably just watch them. no point in dropping the show.

lol, FINALLY, I can hate alongside too. Hosaka's bishi sparkles just not worth the time wasted on this anime. Most likely it's girls commenting the favs on him.

Wonder wut's gonna happen to Makoto in the future, lol.

Well screw you Hosaka haters out there, Im of the male gender and I enjoy Hosaka just as much if not more than any girl. I usually hate air headed bishi characters that are all full of themselves, but the fact that Hosaka is one of my favorite anime characters ever proves that they did everything right about him.

So I guess it goes without saying that Hosaka was epic as ever here. Best ending to an episode yet, and I think that every episode should have ended with a few minutes of Hosaka epicness.

This was an interesting episode. Moko-chan needs to stop and be friends with Chiaki. I would actually be interested in in ending up with Touma. They would make a nice couple.

I wonder about Haruka. If I were in her place I would love to travel abroad but I just don't think that I would be able to leave my family behind.

Honestly, it was about time Hosaka had a real part again. I mean, really... Up until now they just had him saying somewhat-uninteresting things with that castanet-music in the background. But in this episode they finally had a true Hosaka-moment, with his theme song and everything.

Up until that scene, the season so far has been average.

I feel sorry for Makoto, his idiocy is getting the better part of him. Yoshino toying around with "MAKO-CHAN... I wonder what she's doing right now." was just priceless.
Hosaka still made my laugh, but it was pretty close.

Why do I even bother taking screenshots of what I consider the best bits when I know someone has already put them here?

Overall, a good episode, but the first season's still better, definitely.

This...

I’m curious to know what will be Haruka’s decision... I wonder if Takeru " Oji-san" (cousin) is the only family member that the girls have in the vicinity... Uncle? Aunt? maybe it is a good time to address the topic of how their parents are missing from the show… Are they abroad? Deceased?
