| Is it just me, or did the colour palette get a tad warmer during that moment Rikuo was assertive towards Shinako? oh man Haru my girl not like this. I actually understand Rikuo's approach, he's definitely more of the "waiting for confirmation before striking" type of guy and it definitely has its own merits and flaws |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I kinda hope for Uozumi and Shinako to be together, but damn this man. He's so passive and clumsy that makes me super uncomfortable. He should be more assertive and try harder with Shinako, she's basically begging for a more direct approach and she's willing to accept have something romantic and sexual with him, but he's like a teenager completely clueless about what to do. Is a bit painful to watch this, but well, let's see. |
  Grant me one hour on love's most sacred shores To clasp the bosom that my soul adores, Lie heart to heart and merge my soul with yours |
| Still can't stand Shinako, at all, LOL. What was her deal on the phone? First she monologues about Rikuo not calling her, and when he did, she seemed disappointed and made it awkward?? For real, what is Rikuo supposed to do if she keeps giving such mixed signals? First she rejects him, then complains about him not being more pushy, and when he does take action she gives him strange reactions, and then she tells him again that he needs to be more assertive. Let's not forget that time she cucked him real good when she first invited him to her apartment either. I seriously don't understand what she wants. But the one thing I do know is that I absolutely can't stand her. Always expecting Rikuo to take action when she puts next to no effort into the whole deal herself. He said it too on the phone- she didn't call him either, why?? Rikuo is seriously far too good for her, I just really really hope they won't end up together. |
| “Growing up means you end up with things you need to protect. That’s just how it is.” This anime never ceases to amaze me, and this episode was no different! I love that dose of realism Kyouko offered, the notion that things don’t always work out in your favour. People who love each other don’t always end up together. And if that message is any indication of the future plot, then I’m all the more invested! One of the most unique aspects of this anime which I adore is that for especially important scenes, the characters say absolutely nothing, there’s no background music... and for a few seconds, it’s completely quiet! It happened this episode when Rikuo held Shinako, and the scene felt even more impactful because of it. Now about Haru. The relationship between Haru and Rikuo is progressing slowly but surely and the biggest hint of that was the comparison with episodes past. The first time Haru brought over bagels, he only walked her home, but this time Rikuo told her to come inside. Also, the way they framed the atmosphere really makes it clear that Rikuo feels very comfortable with Haru. Their conversation outside his house felt very organic and easy. It’s different with Shinako, as he mentioned at the end of the episode about their comfort zone. Rikuo also seems conflicted about advancing further with Shinako because of Haru. It’s a complicated but really engaging web of relationships. It also looks as if Haru called him at the end, so there’s likely further developments on that front. I’m still really looking forward to Haru’s family situation and her happy facade being addressed. Now about Shinako and Rikuo. Looks like Shinako is finally ready to move on, albeit slowly. There’s the date, then the invitation to her house, but even Rikuo openly admits that the tension in the room (ie. the atmosphere) is awkward to say the least. Both of them harbor romantic feelings for one another, but as they both acknowledged, neither are being particularly assertive. For viewers unable to put up with their slow progression, it’d be undoubtedly frustrating to watch, but I found this awkward exchange of words a lot more in line with their characters’ quirks, which I liked. It’ll be interesting to see how Rikuo moves forward next episode on both the Shinako and Haru fronts. Can’t wait for next week’s advancements! |
| I know this series is a slow burn but JFC, I hope something happens soon. Rikuo keeps going to Shinako then lets Haru inside his apartment but ignores her until she leaves. As annoying as Haru is, I hope she finds happiness with someone other than Rikuo. All these characters need to sort out their shit before going into a relationship with anyone and fucking up the other person's life in the process. |
| 臭い- |

 |
| Can't wait for the rest of the story to be animated after reading the manga and having experienced such a situation in my own life too. What a good show, really brought me back and made me remember what I did when I was in a similar position! |
     |
| as much as I enjoy this show, each episode just makes you ..*sigh* |
| Fucking finally they used the song from RC Succession. For those who aren't aware, the title of the manga was inspired by that song of the same name. It's so old that I can't find it anywhere online aside from a few Japanese covers |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
| The moment she mentioned coffee, I knew there was a piece of GTA San Andreas reference there somewhere. Too bad the coffee fell before Rikuo could finish it. |
| This show is declining. This is the turning point. RIP Sayuri's songs |
| While i am happy with the Rikuo and Shinako developments, can't help but feel sad every time I see Haru like damn girl stop hurting yourself. And that cliffhanger though, well can't wait to see what the next episode has in store. |
 |
| Damn, I was hoping for some kiss. :( |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Man Uozumi really grinds my gears as an MC |
 |
| Finally some progress between Rikuo and Shinako. I really hope they end up together. |
| I kinda like the new ED, although I liked Sayuri's song a lot more. Still kinda sucks to see Haru all bummed out. I hope we get more development between Kyouko and Kuma, I care about those two a lot more than the Uozumi and Shinako's relationship lol. Looking forward to the next episode. |

| I like how Rikuo was honest about how he got the gift. I mean, being honest ended up making it even more special to Shinako since it didn't matter how he got it, just that it was the first one he gave to a girl. Their current situation is cute, awkward and frustrating at the same time, but I don't feel annoyed by it. And Shinako, even if slowly, is really moving forward. At least she realized that she doesn't have to feel exactly what she felt before to fall in love again. She is never going to feel the same way, and it doesn't mean that a new love is going to be lesser or a lie, just different. And it isn't right to push yourself into someone so Rikuo isn't wrong to take things as slowly as Shinako either, but it seems she needs him to take the initiative and it felt good to see him hugging her in that moment. That felt right. I still feel kind of bad for Haru, but I still think that it's sad for her to keep making efforts to see him, especially now that he was as honest as possible with her, and already asked twice for her to stop doing this. He didn't even walk her home this time. I can't blame her for not giving up, but he already knows how she feels so there's not much else she can do right now. And we didn't even get a glimpse of Rou. lol And I like the new ED, still not as good or poignant as the first one, buI liked it more than the second. |
 |
| Sure is taking it slow all right. Curious as to wtf could have happened with Haru. |
| I really liked this anime at first but I'm kinda disappointed; nothing really happens in each episode, the characters haven't been fleshed out very well and the dedication that Haru has to Rikuo makes no sense. I get that she likes him but they haven't known each other long enough or well enough for her to be so attached to him. |
 |
| In recent episodes, the narrative rhythm has become so peaceful that a funeral is much more cheerful as a context, perhaps it will be the most reasoned choice, but I would like a bit of panache in the love affairs of Haru and his companions. The most striking and important thing is Morinome's changed perspective vision which opens the way to a new narrative way, who knows where it will lead. The twist at the end makes me a little curious. Ah! What a pity that they changed the ending, but I was also a little surprised, even if I imagined that sooner or later the ending would have changed it, if the conditions regarding the plot had changed. I like it, but not as much as I would like the new ending. I hope there is more space for Haru, I have been saying this for weeks, but unfortunately this moment never comes, what a pity! |

| Things might be slow, but that type of progression is still important. Rikuo and Shinako are slowly making progress between each other. The awkwardness is strong and they both felt that way a lot, but I am happy that those two are trying to shrug off that awkwardness and become more comfortable around each other. It did surprise me when Rikuo went in and hugged Shinako almost out of the blue, but I'm glad he did it at all. He might be a bit on the passive side, but Rikuo didn't put a foot wrong, so that makes me happy. =) As for Haru, I still have sympathy for her. It's nice to see her getting along with her parents more now, but she still isn't giving up on Rikuo. Their time together was sweet, but it was still tinged with that feeling of sadness. With how the episode ended, with Haru hearing a "thud"at her apartment and then Rikuo getting a phone call and having a shocked face when he answered it, I wonder what will happen next time. Either way, this episode was really enjoyable. I wasn't expecting another ED to appear so soon, but this 3rd ED was pretty good. Nice visuals of the main cast, too. =) |
| at this point, from what i'm seeing...Haru WONT WIN...haha!! 5/5. FrozenRaider said: Damn, I was hoping for some kiss. :( that's not "taking it slow" if you're hoping for a kiss |

| That dramatic slow down I thought he was gonna kiss her but of course not... honestly the whole Rikuo and Shinako plotline is just way too slow, boring and repetitive at this point, don't get me wrong I love tension and slow burn but this is not slow burn this is just slow without any burn. I see the tiny progress but I just really don't even care anymore I lost my patience. I'm curious about what happened with Haru and if she was the one who called Rikuo at the end. |

| Finally a lot of screentime for Haru! Why the fuck its always RikuoXShinako moments.... oh well its only episode 10 Haru gonna get the moment that she deserve soon... Look how precious Haru  |

| As we get further and further into the series its getting a lot better. Ruo-kuns gift to shinako was most definitely the pinnacle of the episode. Really well done in my opinion. |

She sits and waits for him to come to her, misleads him, and then she has the guts to complain about him not being "more assertive", like what the hell does she want??. She's as toxic as you can get. |
 |
| At this point, i just want to see Haru getting a bit of attention from Rikuo. Or perhaps Rikuo being clear about his feeling about Haru and stop making her suffer like this :( |
  Wandering Witch is the best light novel ever! |
| Kyouko might be the most underappreciated characters in this anime. She's been so damn important to Haru and her growth it's not even funny! God this episode was so good. The thing I liked about the coffee scene was Rikuo is shown looking at Shinako and the next scene he's looking down after Shinako leaves his sight. I thought that was a great approach to that scene and extra impactful. Haru is a tough girl. God I love her more and more each week. I think Haru telling her parents she was going home to not bother the "Newly wedded couple" also had some sort of connection to Shinako x Rikuo. I think the end is near for our poor little Haru and she's starting to accept that. Yo I swear if anything happens to that Crow I'll kill someone! Side note: That ending was lit! |
