Really cute and relatable. The gossip girls being heard from outside the restroom is quite a common cliche, it was a little irritating but that does happen, though not to the extent that anime portrays it. I dunno maybe it happens more in Japan?
I kinda read somewhere that Japanese people are usually the type to act "nice" to other people, which actually causes bitching behind them is more common. So yeah, maybe it does happen more in Japan.
That would make sense, having to act polite in person and then bitching behind their backs is quite common even outside of Japan, and if they enforced a behaviour like that it's understandable that gossiping like that would become more widespread

I liked this episode, it's indeed very mundane but it was nice. I do appreciate how Akane isn't shy and timid all around, and it's much clearer in this episode. She's a believable and relatable introvert, one who is shy with people she doesn't know, but talkative and joking with people she's comfortable with. I also respect her, how even though she was embarrassed for dropping the baton, it didn't get to her in the end, because she still loves running. It's great that one line and interaction with Akane inspired Kotarou to do the same with his hobby.

Wow this just made me "kyaaa" on the inside..

So innocent, so cute, so carefree.. truly brought u back to those age. The OST on the background was beautifully arranged and really fit the scenes and those short stories after credit was just hhhnnngggg..

can't believe there are people who found this boring/unrealistic yet at the same time probably praise the typical shoujo anime

This is really looking to be one of the better shows this season. Was unsure after the first episode thinking it was going to be a very slow series, but this episode has changed my mind completely. I loved how human everyone feels! Loved the ending where they are messaging each other. So cute!

Drawings, CG and animation, are perfectible, but the narrative is a sweet poem, well accompanied by the soundtrack. So far this anime, I'm liking a lot and the slow pace of the narrative fits well with the plot.

The show itself does well to portray youth and adolescence. Love the subtleties they put into each character in regards to that slow-building relationship with someone whom you aren't really acquainted with, but yet have an interest in. Also love the fact that they show Kotarou and Akane having an interest in something other than each other. His passion for writing stories and hers for running make them that much more fleshed out. Their interactions with the supporting cast are also very realistic.

Those 4 shorts in the end, whilst a bit toon-y, helped flesh out the side characters quite well, and were funny at the same time. Roman and Sensei was particularly funny, given how it now seems that Sensei is more interested in Roman than he actually is in her.

Really loving this show. Don't even know why, but the voice acting makes me happy. I am really a sucker for high school shows.

Akane and Curly aren't the two only mcs anyway. They will explore the other two in the next episodes. Wonder how the relationships are going to develop.

By watching this episode, I felt like there was some improvement from this episode than the last one.Definitely a hidden gem show of this season that can hit a massive twist at some point later, which I believe.

Another cute episode, I just hope I don't have to experience this another love-triangle in this light-hearted show, which will be too dark for me.

Very looking forward for the next episode! I hope no upcoming beach episode from this show!

I was afraid the anime would go nowhere with the romance, but it's definitely happening, albeit in an incredibly slow pace. While it's a refreshing and realistic take, it could be a double-edged sword in the viewers' enjoyment.

One thing I really appreciate about this show is the real sense of adolescence that it manages to portray through its two main characters. Whether it be Akane getting embarrassed by her dad or Kotarou slight looks at Akane and that other girl's body I feel like I'm really getting immersed in what it's like to be these two. I think the scene the strongest scene though, as it was last episode, was the text exchange between the two, Kotarou jumping around around and springing to his phone when he sees it light up, not to mention the language that the two are using just really helps the whole theme of the show.


this describes exactly what i appreciate as well!!! especially the texting scene, it was incredibly nostalgic

Certainly one of the better shows of the season. It's a nice coming-of-age love story. Scenes like Kotarou being all excited while texting Akane adds a lot of charm to the show.

Sensei's pretty funny, btw. I like the shorts at the end.

Great episode! So cute that he found the potato doll for her.
I love the inclusion of text messages to progress the romance -- it's really how people flirt these days. The show just feels like an actual SOL even more than the other SOLs out right now. Memories of my school days :)

Nearly dropped this after the first slow episode but decided to gave it another chance and I'm glad I did. Akane's personality really showed a ton better in this second episode and made her more relate-able because of it.

Also I'm totally cheering for Koutaro, he's adorable and I hope he'll keep on writing :D

(And those scenes after the ending.. lmao indeed xD)

So much nonverbal happening & genuine teenager pov, all the awkwardness & anxiety hurts.
Blame Dazai's quotes for making Kotarou socially weird, but he's opening up now.
Roman too awesome, a nekomimi pink hair molests mc. & this Sensei x Roman too cute.
Both mcs similar issues & embarrassment.
Nurse scene shows a nice contrast: mc concerned of appearance & carefully washes first, while Chinatsu laughs off everything & makes a sloppy bandage.
Like the 2d animated crowd & relay, feels lively.
Bathroom gossip & love triangle concerning, esp Yellow kun has a groupie support.
Last skits were hilarious, need more of them esp Roman & sensei.

I just hope this doesn't turn into a triangle. This show really does not need it. In fact, it needs to remain between our two leads (i.e. no love interests for the mains other than each other) to not turn into mediocre garbage.

I could tell that Curly-kun wasn't the athletic type, but that really was so uncool xD
Akane too had her share of failure in the main event, I think it was cute of Curly-kun to hand her over her Potato mascot.
Also, the aftershow segment was cute too, I ship Roman and Ryouko-sensei!

Happy they went with the sport festival instead of the cultural one. I find it more interesting and less overused in this type of anime.
Anyway, together with the smooth progress of MC's romance, looks like a certain sensei has started heading towards a dangerous path~

Kotaro's dedication to finding her potato sack was really relatable. Whenever you like someone, isn't it natural to want to do things for them and help them out?

It's harder when you have a shy personality, so it's a true case of actions speaking louder than words.
