| Cellphones really destroyed our chances to see a good drama like this lol.. Except for awesome race scenes and music, this anime still has something else to offer ... |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| Haha Iketani, what a foo. To feel inferior over a picture when a girl literally offered to open her legs for you minutes before, he doesn’t deserve to hit that. Wish I could turn into an anime character and take his place, I would have been there at 7:30. Episode 5/5 |
| Noooooo Iketani... that's really sad for him |
 |
| Thanks for reminding me of what life was like before mobile phones. I was a kid at the time, so I didn't go through such experience, but it must have made meet ups with friends and dates a lot harder at times. The first half of the episode was meh.Takumi is the main character, so this episode made it look like the series side-tracked a bit. It's practically a filler. But maybe it will become relevant in the last 6 episodes. Anyway, I'm not watching this show for romance. I just want my races. Anyway, the series has been good so far and while this episode was probably the weakest so far it was still watchable. |

| Excellent episode filled with many emotions. Poor Iketani... for another time I have to write this. :( But I don't blame him. "Inferiority complex" as described by his boss (who appears to know something about PUA techniques, lol) could be an explanation if he was a viewer of an anime like us, being able to see the other person's reactions and hear their thoughts. I think while Mako blushed nearby Iketani, he was a typical "nice guy" for her, or rather an alternative branch. If Ryousuke Takahashi somehow showed interest, I bet she would dump Iketani for him, "the better branch" (richer, more skilled in driving a car, "badboy" type that is liked by majority of women). No need to cry, Iketani. Better lose now to your feelings than be crushed later by them. |
| I wish I could punch Iketani so hard. |
BurntJelly said: Go! or you're fired! That was cool moment in this episode |
 |
| Iketani just can't get a win in life or racing lol |
 |
| I feel bad for Iketani. I am very interested to see what will happen now that he didnt show up on time! |
 |
| Well Iketani really had it coming or at least I though so before I witnessed what happened to him in this episode |
| Bro why did they change the intro? oh well 5/5 |
 |
| The Boss is a real one he always has his employees and friends best interest hope everything works out between Mako and Iketani |
 |
| New OP for 7 episodes left in the series kind of meh If only Iketani didn't overthink it too much he could've made it, Really hate to see it when women cry that's rough unlucky for Iketani we don't know what the future holds, Boss was so heated giving love advice. |
  |
| damn i thought it was just gonna be another nice beach episode but that hit right in the feels :(( hope iketani bounces back. |
 |
| Man, that man is an idiot |
 |
| Iketani is a fool & Yuichi is real i hated this episode :( |
| i really do not like mako. "when i said I'll give you my virginity i didn't mean it like that. but i still give you my virginity" ??? and iketani is also stupid 1. for being interested in her after all that and 2. because he somehow didn't understand people have celebrity crushes |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Dragging out this romance subplot is definitely the worst part of the series. |
