----------------------------------------
So it seems like the revision of another dictionary has a change of department.

I definitely liked the focus more on Nishioka this episode. Considering his talent and passion of dictionary making, he can work it out. The relationship between him and Majime also is interesting, feels like the two are a lot more like friends now, beyond co-workers.

About time Majime made his letter for Kaguya :D

The dictionary was saved thanks to Nishoika,but his transfer to PR was the price. Good thing he has an understanding lover in PR. What is Dictionary going to do without him since he is the only sensible person

A fifteen page love letter. Really

I am so in love with this story and these characters so far! Are workplace relationships forbidden or something? I hope that Nishioka gets to stay with them somehow, but at the very least he has made some good friends and they're going to be able to continue learning from each other before he gets transferred. And at least he's being transferred to a department that he originally wanted to work in. Still, it'd be better for him to stay and work on the dictionary, I think.

Some Nishioka related drama this episode. Majime gave a love letter fast, hes more aggressive than I thought. Good episode there. Liked how supportive Nishioka was despite him being in a pinch rn.

He delivered the love letter. Now waiting for the response :D

Nishioka will be transfered to PR in order to save the dictionary. Let's hope that this transfer will not happen!

Majime's Love letter to Kaguya is so classically old school! But is also quite nice style!
Nishioka might be transferred to another department as a result on what he did on the desparate mesures to keep the Great Passage still going!
Why is it Nishioka doesn't want to find-out other people what they knew each other with Miyoshi???
4/5.

Very good episode.

That love letter. XD Though that seems like a very Majime like thing to do. It's still pretty cool that he was able to put his feelings down on paper.

Nishioka's getting transferred, That's sad. I hope he can stay with the editorial team till the end. It was pretty nice when his girlfriend called to check up on him, I really liked that conversation.

Majime sitting at the entrance was hilarious. XD
Wonder what Kaguya's response is gonna be.

Nishioka photocopied the love letter, and here we thought he was a nice guy XDD

Maybe i missed it but, why does Nishioka have to keep his relationship with Miyoshi a secret??? is it because work place relationships are forbidden..... even if they're currently from different departments ??

Nishioka is a brilliant character. He has so much going for him that makes him a great person, he's helping out Majime, he has a girlfriend that cares about him and he is valuable in any job.

For his situation, it's a downer that he's being transferred to the PR right at this moment since he finally felt at home. I hope, it all goes well for this guy.

Majime and Kaguya at the end, so awkward but so sincere xDD

You know what would be groundbreaking? If we had a whole episode with Kaguya reading Majime's letter (it is 15 pages after all). That would be amazing honestly.

I haven't considered Nishioka as an interesting character up to the previous episode, and after watching this one, I may say with all certainty that he's the best written character in the series. The news about transfer really upset him but he decided not to spoil the moment of joy for the rest of the team so he didn't say anything, that's not something anyone could do.

Majime waiting for Kaguya in front of the door was hilarious, if I was in her shoes I'd be wondering if he's alright or something.

Woah, Majime's "love" letter is sure something, and I thought him waiting at the door was funny as well XD. Gotta love this guy!

It's a real bummer that Nishioka is being transferred to the PR department. I hope everything will work out in the end.

All in all, another wonderful episode!

Tho why did her girlfriend pretended to hide the relationship? Is it supposed to be forbidden or something?

As amusing as this was, it takes a very special person to write one like this, and another to read and accept it. A sign of both very special love, and other qualities that have been discussed in earlier episodes - someone who can handle the years of work on creating a dictionary, and someone who will be able to stay with and support him despite his long hours of unending work.

Uh... 15 page love letter? Well it's fine and dandy if she's interested, but if she's not that a big burden for her...

Nishioka's definitely an interesting character. He's a good guy in the end, though that ending where he photocopied the letter... LOLOLOL.

This episode changed my perspective of Nishioka quite a bit. He's actually a great character. It really is too bad they want to transfer him. But Majime's 15 page love letter and him sitting at the door to deliver it was great as well. It really is just like Majime to write a love letter that long.

It's a no wonder why Nishioka seemed doesn't fit in the dictionary making department since he had applied to the PR department in the first place. I hope he doesn't really transfer though since I felt that his existence is important to the department. The members of the dictionary department doesn't seem to be the type to be able to talk out of their way when problems occur and Nishioka's communication ability and idea will help them a lot. Crossing my fingers in hopes that he won't get transfer.

I'm not sure how long has time passed but seriously the relationship between Kaguya and Majime escalates way too quick!!

Nishioka T_T. This episode was well done to show how Nishioka is a great man. Him and Majime are like good friends now, I hope they will be always able to see each other.

Kamiya Hiroshi + Saitou Chiwa = best pair of this show! Nishioka is real bro and one of the best characters of this series.

But really, this anime has some great voice acting, add Maaya Sakamoto or lead Sakurai Takahiro and you have almost half of Monogatari crew.

And I also like the nostalgic atmosphere and poetic of this episode, that's what this show does the best. Not to mention great dialogues and you everyday adult pinch of drama.

Yeah... really god piece, has someone said one of the best this season?

Nishioka a true friend who finds time reading 15 pages & gives advice despite his suddenly heavy workload of 2 dictionaries & a virtual deadline before transferring to PR. The little leg motions, weight shifts while reading nearly visualized the text & his character.
Lol Majime & Nishioka's copying were quite funny.

Another entertaining episode! I like how much we get to see Nishiokas girlfriend even though he isn't the "main mc". Delivers nice moments :)

Pretty bad situation Nishioka found himself in. I think he expected many things but not that. Kinda hope he manages to stay with them but I guess the company has more power in a situation like that :(

And, damn, that letter :D He even sat right in front of the door until Kaguya arrives and goes to bed immediately after xD I'm not sure that's what Nishioka meant when he gave his advice

Too bad we are half-way through already now. Well, almost. I really would like more episodes.

Definitely a strong cast. Especially Kamiya Hiroshi and Sakurai Takahiro. And it's so fitting even though Sakurai usually doesn't have these shy roles.

I don't know why this anime isn't ranked higher. It's amazing!

Majime is so awkward/different but that's what makes him such an awesome character! He just waits for Kaguya at the front which is something I've never really seen in an anime, that was kind of romantic really.

My only worry is what Kaguya was looking at before she came home...is she seeing someone else or was that just a lead to her coming home? Oh please I hope there's no one else.

I feel terrible for Nishioka though, I think he's just going to quit before he gets transferred, he knows his GF really loves him when she called to check up on him, so them working together is not good, he enjoys his time with his current co-workers and his boss is being a straight ass. So I can see that happening.

For now, it is more convincing seen so far, there is introspection in the characters, not all, and there is also space for the technicalities in the field of dictionaries; But still missing the most important topic, namely: the study of words. However as regards the narration, I like the mix that has been created through the undiscounted so characters; I hope to deepen the knowledge even of Sasaki, Matsumoto and Araki. Drawings and animations, good, I hope in the home version, the quality is even higher than the current one, even for scenarios.

Ahh this is just too innocent! Majime is cracking me up. It's so awkward and yet heartwarming to see how people can interact without being overly judgmental.

Really liked that moment when Nishioka is like "how could anyone read this?" and proceeds to leisurely read through the whole love letter in the park. It seems as though he loses track of time when Majime is involved. On another note, I wonder why Nishioka and Miyoshi have to keep their relationship a secret. Doesn't seem like anything taboo or out of the ordinary to me.

Yet another great episode. The main character for this episode was definitely Nishioka, and I ain't complaining.

So the price is being transferred. I thought he was going to get fired, but I don't know which one is worse. It was sad to see since Nishioka was finally feeling at home... But he has one wonderful girlfriend. I loved how she checked up on him and totally loved their conversation. She knew what he was thinking and she was real worried, and that was really touching. Didn't really like Miyoshi in the previous episodes but here she shows she's a great lover for Nishioka. And it was touching too that mid-way through the conversation Nishioka realised that Miyoshi called him because she was checking on him! Miyoshi was so worried and bummed at home too because she was worried about Nishioka... and then he came home drunk. But at least he seems to have found what he needs to do. I really hope things turn out well for this guy, and can't wait to see him give his all to the dictionary department before he gets transferred!

Majime wrote 15 pages for a love letter, and uses difficult Kanji and a Chinese poem? He's definitely cut out for ANY job involving literature or language. But I didn't really see what was wrong with that, it was earnest and it was straight from his heart. Good thing Nishioka said what he said about the letter, about just giving it to her. Just show her what you really feel and don't wrap it up in someone else's words or style. ALTHOUGH 15 pages might be going overboard.

He waited in front of the door until she came? That's sweet, and awkward at the same time. It was kind of awkward to watch their interaction but also sweet. I think Kaguya is curious and interested. Hope things go well!

Can't wait to watch again!
