I understand not rushing a story progression but c'mon there has to be a middle ground where they can explain the characters relationship without dragging the viewer thru every mundane detail of sh...sh...sh...should I sa..sa..say something to her. It's like c'mon we're 4 episodes in now let's start moving forward a little bit




Just drop it. It's obviously not your type of show.


Sorry I don't drop anything unless the anime is absolutely abhorrent and I don't think this anime is that. I am not easily motivated to give up on an anime just because it's not my style. Must complete in order to know if it's good or bad!

Oh man this show is just too sweet. The scene with agreeing to meet somewhere but then just missing each other is very cliché but I think I'll let it slide.

Jealous Akane is seriously adorable. I can understand where she's coming from though. For someone with her introverted personality, seeing a guy she likes interact with her friend (Chinatsu) who is naturally outgoing and him responding positively must be very frustrating for her.

But damn Kotaro, you can't set a time to meet a girl and then be late! That's a definite no-no. And then using another girl's phone to call her without immediately explaining the situation. The scene when his friends were trying to find out who he was talking to hit really close to home. I miss those days.

Chinatsu's really starting to grow on me. She's such a bro to both Akane and Kotaro. But damn it's gonna be hard if and when she starts falling for him.

On another note, I really like the OP because I can start watching an episode and it'll give me a sneak peak (and get me hyped) because I usually start watching and then finish it later.

This is my favorite anime of this season, the pace is slow but I never get bored because of it only one thing I want to complaint is CG extra is really bad but it not bothered me that much if I'm not paying attention to them.

Now I'm really worried about Hira, Chinatsu doesn't seem to have any trouble knowing Kotarou is interested in Akane but what about Hira? Can he take it if he know Akane is interested in Kotarou.

I really like the slow pacing. I'm glad that they found each other at the end and that Akane want to talk more to Koutarou. Now they will start dating (hopefully) :D

As awkward as this episode was to me, I'm really glad that Akane's answer is yes and that she wants to talk to Koutarou more. Can't wait for next week!

I don't mind middle schooler shyness and awkwardness, but I can't stand it when they won't speak up when there's a misunderstanding. Like Akane when her friends asked if she was interested in Hira. And when Kota was asked why he borrowed that girl's phone. Speak up gdi.

Good series tho.

Narration still contributes to the good outcome of the episode, building up the situation where more or less everyone can identify. The mobile phone, the cross, and the delight of modern times. The backgrounds are gorgeous, I almost wanted to go to Kyoto.

Oh My God! This show keeps hanging me on the edge! ... so realistic!
I'm always so excited with the romance of this show lolz! this is really different compared to other romance out there! you could feel the youth!.
So Akanecchi didn't have a direct response to Kotarou on the previous episode but this episode was finally confirmed and we got her answer.
I feel like there's more hurdles that they'll encounter and more problems of course!
5/5.

I like how this is going so far. Slow pacing is great with the kind of story they're trying to tell. Relationships that take time to develop and flesh out are more satisfying in the end... I hope I didn't jinx it. lel

i was honestly amazed that azumi approached the friend to actually call akane instead of just leaving it as a misunderstanding

that was definitely a step in the right direction!

This episode made me panic so much, when it was raining and they couldn't find each other and when Azumi was hesitant on asking for Chinatsu's help and then at the end I thought it would end so badly but I'm glad I was wrong. This anime is a nice change from other romances and gives me nostalgia of middle school romance!

At least it worked out for Kotarou and Akane in the end. The awkwardness was too awkward at times, though. I hope they will actually be able to talk more in the future...

That's fine, if you really want to watch something you don't like that's your problem. BUT don't whinge about it! This show know's exactly what it's doing (apart from the bad CG background characters!!)

This anime truly highlights the hot climate culture of Japan.

1. Indirect Communication
-Akane said she wants to talk more with Kotarou instead directly saying "yes".
-Akane didn't tell her friends about the meeting.
-There are a lot more examples since episode 1.

2. Group-Oriented
-Most students walks in groups and have the same goal.

3. Inclusion
-Everybody is included in a conversation. That's why Akane's and Kotarou's friends are curious on why both of them chatting alone on LINE instead of joining the group chat.

I can understand why some people feel frustrated and says things like "beating around the bush" and "no privacy" when watching this show.
Truth is absolute but human perception of truth is always relative.

That's it. This has become one of my favorite anime this spring. This anime is realistic and I love it. The situation is almost the same as when I was a middle-schooler.

A bit frustrated when they didn't meet and I kind of understand why Akane was upset :(
I hope things go well for the best of them. Kota/Akane, my new otp.

Edit: I said summer instead of spring.

I want them to start dating from the next episode (which will probably happen) till the end of the anime. God it's been awhile since I've seen an all the way through romance anime from childhood to adulthood, (like itazura na kiss) that's the main reason why I'm hoping for it to happen.

Knew this series had potential from the start yeah sure the CGI is a little bit fucked but that doesn't ruin the story and the way characters interact, at least not for me.

I've been hearing that AoT S2 hasn't been making much of an impact compared to the first season, even in predictions for sales.

Anyway, nice to see Tsukii ga Kirei on top. Deserves it.

Chinatsu rather open & nice, lends her phone without a concern, & not dense apparently knows his thing with Akane.
They both too shy it kinda drags, plus missing & being late makes it more difficult. Not all his fault, and she didn't go full tsun so it's good to end with a vague confession. Their shyness or 'ambiguity' as the fortune says gave each more trouble than worth. Not sure the secrecy from friends is that important when Akane's other friends are so open with relationship, but her friend who read the air & gave her privacy was a nice move.

This is too cute I literally can't stop internally screaming looolll. Mizuno's answer was great. Personally opinion, I think it's way too early for them to get in a relationship. They hardly know anything about each other, so her answer in wanting to talk with him more was definitely the right call, I mean they can barely hold a conversation with each other as it is haha. Can't wait to see how their relationship will develop. Also, I'm curious to know how this will turn out in terms of friendship; what will Hira and Chinatsu do? Will they just accept it, cheer them on, and move on, or will they go with the route in which either of them try to get in the way? Hmmm.

The interaction between characters feels organic, it is like I’m taking a peek at middle schooler in their everyday life. Also, I’m really liking how the problem/conflict(?) was resolved without to resort to the melodramatic route.

On a side note:
I’m liking the shorts at the end of some of these episodes…

Lol. And you're just starting to get into the meat of the series. Although I must say this was the only series where I ended up rewatching the earlier episodes while waiting for the new one to come out.

Spare a thought for us weekly watchers when the final episode's subs were delayed by almost a full day...

Tokyo + Kyoto station were nicely drawn :-D

It's frustrating how socially awkward both characters are. I sometimes have trouble holding a conversation however it's hard to empathise with the level of awkwardness between the two >_<. It would easier+ more believable if they just right off the bat explained that Azumi has Aspergers.

The girl already told you she'll let you know so stop trying to text her every goddamn minute. JEEEZ

And stop stalking her! wtffff

Also, he shouldn't have shown up at all because she didn't reply until she was ALREADY THERE.
Girl, seriously?
And she blames it on him???

Personally, I think the girl that wiped him off from the rain is MUCH BETTER suited for him.
