poor kazehaya, it doesn't help that sawako always thinks he's just being nice.. but then, it's understandable, and i feel it is somewhat realistic.. i am really loving this show.. :))

Yay! A real Sawako smile at the end. :) I sort of agree with Kazehaya: Sawako seems to have a thing for teaching... and it also seems to be one of the few things that makes her genuinely happy. Wonder if she'll end up wanting to be a teacher?

Kento worries me. D: He amuses me, and even though I know Sawako will end up with Kazehaya anyway, the fact that Kento almost seems 'closer' to Sawako [just at the moment] is just making things tougher for poor Kazehaya, who can't seem to get his point across to Sawako...

I think Kento might just be a love guru between Sawako and Kazehaya. But I might be wrong. Kento is awesome though =D, if he was a rival, then it would be awesome.

Everyone is blaming Kazehaya but I think Sawako bears a lot of the misunderstanding that is going on here too. If you watch the last two episodes, including this one, every time Kazehaya tries to reach out to Sawako in his own "refreshing way," in the style of his old self from season one, Sawako avoids his gaze. Has she even had a full conversation with him this season while reciprocating his gaze? No. She sorts of give off the impression that she's uncomfortable with him because she avoids his gaze or says "very little" to him. From Kazehaya's perspective, she doesn't appear to be interested in him in that way. Add that to the chocolate incident (which I fully understand the reason why she didn't give him even though I was and am still peeved) where Ryuu, Ping and everyone else gets chocolate BUT Kazehaya, he should be rightfully discouraged about pursuing her. She's friendly with some guy she just met, but treats Kazehaya like that. No wonder Kazehaya is having a hard time with this and the misunderstanding between them continues to deepen.


I literally cannot agree more. It seems like Sawako has regressed from season 1 rather than continued or even further deepen the relationship between her and Kazehaya. She's not taking into the account that her actions are creating a different vibe from what she wants to put out. And that she is hurting Kazehaya's feelings along dampening their relationship.
Besides, Kazehaya doesn't have to be the one to confess. She can just as well confess to him instead of always overthinking and creating her own misunderstandings. People are saying Kazehaya is taking his time confessing, but when you believe someone doesn't like you romantically then why would you ever confess to them knowing it'll just be turned down? Since Sawako hasn't really given an inclination that she likes him since New Year's and now it's already May.

TL;DR: Sawako has regressed from season 1 and needs to grow her own pair along with stop overthinking/creating her own misunderstandings that translate into her relationship with Kazehaya. People blame Kazehaya but Sawako is the one who's at fault since she isn't saying what's on her mind anymore.

Miura is pretty funny, I wonder what he's up to. Doesn't seem like he likes Sawako, he looks more amused than anything. Argh, they're so close to finally making it happen. Kazehaya, Sawako, get a grip :x.

If not for Kenta nothing would be happening there.
That "guy talk" was awkward too. I get it that Sawako doesn't talk about her feelings with Ayane and Chizu, but Kazehaya and Ryu should be able to talk about it more.
+ it seems like Kazehaya really have something of a possessive nature - he didn't make any move for all these months because he knew there's no competition, and now is alarmed.

I seriously don't understand it. It's not like the creators don't know how to do decent characters and character interactions as most of the dialogues are fine and some are even freaking brilliant. But whenever Kuronuma and Kazehaya are talking alone it gets frustrating, irrational, stupid and ultimately ends with no development whatsoever. And all that forced drama only appears with the main couple...why?


Hmm, I also don't understand that why do some people say "this series made me frustrating because relationship of Kazehaya and Sawako is no development.".
This anime is a love story of an adolescence that towards happy end as fulfill their love.
Then all the main story should be "there is a mountain, and there is a valley" until get the finish story. It is really standard style of Japanese Animes and Dramas, I mean for that style, the fulfill of love means finish the story. in this case, that must be only 3 episodes for 2nd season.lol.
If you like hasty things, I suggest you to watch a love story of the Hollywood movies,
then you can see a couple meeting to have kissing to have sex so quickly, so you don't need to get frustrating anymore.

Come on Kazehaya go confess to Sawako before Kento pulls a move on her.

Kento and Sawako saying "Morning" tp each other was hilarious.

Sawako is very smart when it comes to plants. She has the plants labeled with what they are used for.

Not sure what to think of Kento. That confrontation at the end between Kazehaya and Kento can go either way.

Mmm, Kento is pretty interesting for now. It look like he's trying to be a trigger between the two. Since they have stalled for such a long time, maybe he'll declare himself as a rival or something like this.

Everything is leading to Sawako becoming a teacher xD

I feel like Ayane is the only one getting shit done in this series right now.

The slow pacing is terrible still, but this episode wasn't as bad to watch. Kazehaya saying he's not gonna wait and then ends up caving just...UGH this show is killing me. I get their situation but this show isn't entertaining when the two main characters keep copping out.

Really enjoy it so far, way more than I original did with the first episodes of S1.
Kento is a needed addiction, liking that he is trying to help sadako with her romantic feelings instead of trying to "new male lead appears, tries to steal the heroine of the main lead"!

Sawako thinks back to the conversation she had with Kazehaya a while back. About him being the boy who is closest to her. She simply didn’t know how to respond to him at the time. She doesn’t even know how to properly talk to him now. She can barely manage to say good morning to him. Though that could just be because she’s super awkward lol.

Kento sees this as a good opportunity to get close to Sawako. He tries to teach Sawako to say good morning in a more natural less tense way. Kazehaya sees this and does NOT like it.

Kazehaya tells Ryu that he’d like to confess his feelings to Sawako but he doesn’t wanna burden her. He also feels that any guy could fall for her at this point. He’s especially thinking of Kento here.

Lol at Sawako’s “herb corner.”

Looks like Kento is trying to get close to Sawako and all of her friends. I almost feel like he wants to replace Kazehaya.
The perceptive Ayane knows he’s up to something and questions him. He makes it clear that he knows all about Sawako’s crush.

Kento basically forced Sawako to lead a study group after school. Despite the fact that many people are still scared of her, a lot showed up. It was thanks to Kazehaya. Sawako did a fantastic job teaching the other students, they learned a lot, which gave Sawako a big beautiful smile. Kento looked slightly transfixed by her smile. I wonder if he’ll develop feelings for her?

Kazehaya and Sawako talk after everyone is gone. She wants to properly thank him for everything he’s done but she’s still having a hard time connecting to him. He looks up at her with a sad smile and tells her to forget what he said to her before, about being the closest boy to her.

Looks like Kento wants to have a chat with Kazehaya. I wonder about what?

Well, this episode was way better than the previous ones mostly due to Kento's interventions. I still don't know whether I like him or not but I liked how he indirectly helped Sawako to be more social with the class. Not to mention that her true smile is still as lovely as the previous ones from season one.

I'm also curious about what Kento wants to talk with Kazehaya. I hope he gives Kazehaya some "incentive" for him to grow a pair and just confess since the misunderstandings are starting to become very annoying.

Another month passed without anything happening WTF?
Shota couldn't come up with a worse line than 'forget about it'.
INB4 Kent is MVP of this season.
At this point I'm actually wondering if he wants Sawako, he simply wants to help by making Shota act, or he just likes to stir things up.

Idk how to feel about this blond guy. We've already taken quite a few steps back so I really hope this new guy doesn't get in the way more but I'm pretty sure he will get in the way. I really don't like when stories do this. Reducing progression just to drag things out or introduce characters just for drama etc. I could see him being positive like pushing Kazehaya to confess or something but I feel right now this new guy is more of a negative. I really really want to like him though. Like based on only what we've seen him do he seems like just a nice guy that gets a bit too close. He's also kinda funny as well. I'd really like him a lot more if he doesn't get in the way of the main ship.
