Where does she pee?


Anyway, looked like some Stockholm Syndrome there. And she's not actually running away (to a save place) at the end, she's just getting the diary.

Sometimes I get the feeling that a lot of these anime are made with a secret agenda to make women obedient and content even in abusive relationships. There's so many of them, sometimes more obvious, sometimes less. This here, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, Hapi Mari.... All with the bottom line "he only does it because he loves me so much - I should feel lucky".
And there are so many people who think it's cute or romantic! WTF? Have fun telling people you only fell down the stairs.

Yes!! I thought I was the only one who got that feeling from Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun... A bit from Suki tte Ii nayo too, but definitely very, very subtle.

This episode made me pretty angry. "He does some strange things, but..." No. Stop there. No buts. There should be no rationalizing his abusive behavior, ever.

Toma needs to be friends with Yuno. They can lock each other up for kicks. :P But wow, yeah, on the list of potential routes any romance can go this is somewhere awful. I would have ended up laughing pretty hard if she did end up getting seriously injured after getting run over by a car though. :P

Geez, those girls are mean to Hime. Nice to see Shin back also this episode. Been awhile. It's kinda strange seeing Hime inside a cage imo.






YEEESSSSS!!!!



Oh amiga, at that point, Heroine would be better off dealing with Ikki's fans than with Touma, co'z if the only protection that she needs more of, is from him.

This was a really weird episode I was shouting at my screen the whole time beceasue the heroine is so dumb and passive.

I mean when she first wanted to escape the doorbell rang and Shin came in, shouldn't she have notified him that Toma drugged her? BTW Shin didn't ask her anything Toma did all the answering for her (every guy in this show does that).

And then later he puts her in a cage, where the hell can you get a cage like that! It doesn't even fit through his door! Also she had no reaction to the cage at all, only once she gave a polite I want to get out. I think a normal person would be a little more violent (if someone would put me in a cage and then later brings me coffee, I would definitely throw it in his face).

And now she has escaped and Toma has already found out about it wich is only likely if his university is really close by (or is her house really far away?).

She is probably not going to make it to her house but we'll see.

Ok, I have liked this show and been able to even deal with the heroine's lack of personality up until now, however, the fact that she just resigned herself to being drugged and locked in a cage left me baffled. All I kept thinking when he opened the cage and she had her plate of food in front of her is why is she not stabbing him with the fork and getting the hell out of there or making enough noise to alert the neighbors?

By far the most interesting episode :|

I was expecting more emotion from our protagonist when she found out about Toma--
it was the perfect opportunity for a little hysterics but, I guess that would be asking for too much.

I'm getting so pissed off by this discussion thread... especially because nobody seems to get how she escaped the cage, so here it goes:


Anyway, I like this episode, just want to know how they'll adapt the diary thing. Also, stop hating on Toma for god sake. "Oh yandere girls are awesome, but yandere guys are psychos." He has good reasons, and I assume they'll explain them on the next episode.

Just watch the goddamn show, if they at least adapt the next route (assuming there'll be one) the right way, everything will be clear to everyone. If you don't have the patience just drop it.
Everyone was hating on this because it was a reverse harem, but now they don't get the plot.... oh the irony.

But yeah, the heroine's poor reaction was horrible, a major turn-off. And Toma was kind of plain too, he's a lot more yandere on the game. Maybe by the end of the route we'll get to see Hinnochi's true yanvoice.

You'd think the doctors at the hospital would have picked up on the fact that THIS YOUNG WOMAN IS LACKING A SPINE.

Why do I always love the psychos? Why?

I think it's important not to look too deep into this anime. Mostly because you can't. There are no depths.

I am just here for the eye candy. I make no secret of it. I haven't come across such a posse of smoking hot bishōnen in a while.

There's no use in getting het up over what a psychopath Toma is; it's anime. And as long as it stays in anime, the freakish over-protection can be as attractive as it wants. Not many of us honestly want to be locked up by a stalker childhood friend, no matter how gorgeous he is, but it's a nice fantasy. Let us have it.

I am quite confident that there are no "good reasons" for drugging a girl and keeping her locked up in a cage.

But go ahead, enlighten me, because I get the feeling this route will end before these "good reasons" are explained.

Meh, Toma turned out to be a possessive jerk. But, I like to think that if him and Heroine had been dating like a normal couple, he wouldn't have gone off the deep end creepy-wise.

Still creepy though.

Also, it seems that Heroine is pretty much incapable of passing a street without getting run over. How pathetic.

IMO, Toma's reasons are 90% to protect her (from others and from himself because he has feelings for her) and 10% to keep her to himself/prevent her from going to Shin or Ikki.

He's a coward and has poor coping mechanisms/communication skills and that's pretty much what led to all this. That's what makes him human but at the same time, it also makes him frustrating so people hating/liking Toma both have valid reasons for doing so.

Holy hell the drama on his route was the stupidest thing ever though and what ultimately led me to dislike him. In case it never gets explained:

Although "cage-fetish" is still a big WT* unless Toma was treated like that as a kid.

I don't really care if people like Toma or not, but at least try to understand him, and don't label him as a psycho possessive bastard.

I asked for good reasons. What you have there is a good explanation for why Toma does what he does (and really, all of that was already completely obvious from this episode?), but it is most certainly not a good reason to drug and cage your childhood friend.

So the situation was out of his hands. Okay, that's what the police are for. He still had no good reason to do what he did to Heroine.

Don't get me wrong, the story is interesting. And I'm not so much upset at Toma, a fictional character, as I am at the screenwriters, storywriters, producers, game designers, clients, whoever it was who decided that it would be a fantastic idea to spread the message that a boy taking it upon himself to strip a girl of all her freedoms is perfectly okay to do if it's done out of love.

The worst thing wasn't what Toma did, it was the attitude of Heroine and Orion in response to his reasons behind it.

This episode was pretty good, last episode (or the episode where green dude™ told her that she would be killed) was really tense and I loved that. The ending of this episode got me exited too, but not as much as the one that I mentioned before. Hopefully the next few episodes will explain everything nicely.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Man, I start to think this anime is kind of messed up. Seriously? A guy locks a girl in a cage? Why doesn't she resist? Why is she treating like its pretty normal? Doesn't she have any emotions? Why isn't she complaining and whining? Why did she just stay in the cage and quiet? She is way to placid!!!

Toma: Sorry gotta lock you up again because I am a man, too.
Me: WTF!?? What does that have to do with being a man?
