SouthRzVa said: Bio said: Definitely agree it's messed up to suggest that Miyako needs to give herself away for Luou's health, but on the other hand the fact that Junpei would suggest this shows he's not a good match either. Does he not see Miyako as a person who has her own needs? He can't just hand her over. Bro, it's Junpei. 13yo dumb and impulsive Junpei. He's just suggesting what he thinks should be the "right thing" and also, let's not forget he fell for Miyako mostly because of her looks and the pantsu scene in Ep.1. Sounds like we agree that Junpei sucks. |

Sounds like we agree that Junpei sucks. I don't particularly like the boy but I don't think he sucks either. He's just a kid who got involved in a problem that's greater than him and is somehow trying to fix things in the way he thinks is best. And honestly, I kinda respect him for actually wanting to do something when he could have just left it all to Miyako when she offered him the chance. |
| This episode is probably one of my favorites, and the most scariest so far. My heart is broken for little Luou. Even now, Luou is mentally fragile and borderline unstable. He only "knew" two people in his life, his psycho grandmother and his 'little light' cousin--Miyako. As Junpei said, Miyako was Luou's light. Being with Miyako is practically taking that little light (of hope) from Luou. I'm root for Luou, but I don't like the way Luou depends on Miyako much. And I think his "like" to Miyako isn't entirely romantic, like Junpei and Miyako. Luou's like toward Miyako is more of universal like, where he found comfort and safety being with her--she's his anchor. It's actually funny, since Miyako is in no position to be anyone's anchor. She's still a child, for God's sake. I'm team Natsuki, but it's just sad what happened to Luou and Miyako. Anyway~~ Will my ship finally sailing? I don't care about Natsuki romantic life, but I want to SEE HER DANCING WITH JUNPEI~~ Looking forward to finale episode next week. Woohoo~~ |

| One thing is clear, it was all Grandma's fault. Ruo was traumatized and Miyako accompanied him, let's see what will happen in the next chapter which will be the end. |
| People relax, Junpei has Natsuki waiting for him at the SS class. It's a far better match up in comparison to Miyako, who is just ignoring her feelings for Luou. |
| I'll be honest, I hated this episode. I thought Jumpei x Miyako was one of the best and cutest couples I've seen in anime so far. And to break it off for something like this... I've got several issues with it personally. One is that they're cousins. But two, that's a horrible reason. Jumpei is an idiot too. You are considering only Luou's "needs" without considering Miyako's feelings. Miyako fell in love with you out of her own free will, and she even felt bothered that Luou kept trying to get between them. Why does Luou's "needs" take precedence over Miyako's? And those words got into her head, and now she's doing it too. But that blank expression of hers... she's not happy. And Jumpei pushed her towards that way of thinking. That was just horrible. Miyako had a chance at happiness there. And even if they did it out of a consideration for Luou, this does NOT help him. Miyako is like a drug to him. By keeping her there and chaining her (which is unfair to HER), you are also chaining Luou. Can you get someone off drugs by keeping the drugs near them? No. Yes, Luou needs help. Yes, Miyako should not leave Luou. But Miyako is not his and shouldn't be. And Jumpei's attitude... I dislike it heavily. You've been pining for Miyako since day 1. She discovered you. It wasn't Chizuru-san. Miyako believed in you. Again, she fell for you. I just... I don't know how to feel about all this. I knew it was suspicious that they got together so quickly. |

| grandma, noooo The racism is STRONG in this lady. I can't imagine saying that kind of ish to any child's face, let alone my grandchild. Also, the mostly naked dance practice has creepy emotional in*est vibes, on top of the hitting. There's just a whole lot of abuse in this bish |
 |
| People say this is Netorare but is this truly netorare? like, Junpei suggested cutting this relationship not for pleasure but to bring the cousin back to his senses and then yes, we had Miyako actually cut the rope. But, would this really be netorare tho? Im just confused. edit: Yea so, Main character likes Main girl Main girl likes main character as well cousin also likes Main girl and at age 6, almost ate a bottle of sleeping pills to prevent main girl from leaving him, making her continue visiting him else he will kill himself Main character realizes main girl was the only support for the cousin. He says "You need to be by his side" Main girl is sad/angry cuz she thought she could be very happy with Main character later on, her face show her eyes are lifeless as if she has prepared herself and she agrees the MC was right and essentially provokes the cousin into the dance to spark his rage. So, she basically cuts their ship |

"Perfection is perception. For me, humanity's imperfections is what makes it perfect"  |
| Luou's backstory is even tougher than I thought, no surprise he's that weird now, but it may just make Junpei and Miyako break up already :S |
 |
| Wait. so they are breaking up already ? |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| Ruo's childhood was not tragic only, but physical and psychological abuse! kekeke |
| Ah-ah, some the characters really need to fix their mental health issues. Though I'm not really angry at Luou. His actions towards Miyako and everybody else are consequence of his grandma's unhealthy parenting. She's the one that started the mess and continued it down her descendants. She's the villain. And nope. I'm not sorry for her at all; even she's now at that pitty state. It's all result of her sins. |
| MANNN... This episode felt like the later episodes of EVA.. Dark and Psychological |

| @Shikkakku Nah, they didn't break it off for Luou. I think that's part of the reason, but I also think that Junpei was just looking for an excuse. Junpei's entire character has been selfish. He wouldn't break off a relationship for Luou. The true reason that he broke it off was for Natsuki. It's obviously set up for Natsuki x Junpei and Miyako x Luou, and then Luou x therapist, and then Miyako x Luou end game. |
| This episode is a hot mess of toxicity and the cycles repeating. The grandmother didn't care for Chizuru since Chizuru was full Japanese. The grandmother had dreams of wanting to do ballet overseas, and forced that dream onto her kids. Chizuru continues the cycle of pushing her daughter into being a pro ballet dancer, but she hurts her daughter's self esteem, just like her grandmother hurt hers. Luou was emotionally abused by his grandmother, and so he emotionally abuses his cousin Miyako. I don't think Luou x Miyako should be a thing right now, because Luou obviously needs to see an actual therapist, and work through his demons. I also dislike the notion that Miyako should be with Luou, simply for the sake of his mental health. You're not entitled to the love of anyone, and you're not entitled to a relationship with anyone. With that said, I don't think Junpei x Miyako should be a thing either. Junpei clearly has more feelings for Natsuki. In that episode where the playboy in disguise set Miyako x Junpei up, Junpei's first thought was of Natsuki. He had a spark with Natsuki. Natsuki was only in the last episode for a bit, and he saw sparks when he saw her. That's not a good sign of Miyako x Junpei, since he'll always have stronger feelings for Natsuki. |
