Hmm, this episode gave more screen time between Tsutsui and Itou. It showed how they met before and past relationship.

I find Tsutsui and Itou to be strange at times but they do get along really well as friends. It seems Tsutsui was getting picked on in the past too. I still can't get used to his ears. It seems Itou is one of the very few people that Tsutsui can trust in his life.

Itou got more screen time in this episode and got to see how he met Tsutsui. They're quite good friends and get along well. Tsutsui made things more awkward with Igarashi smh.

Well Tsutsui was put through the wringer with both of his primary relationships this week. But he made it out alright, until the unexpected consequences of his new friendship with Ayano at the end anyway, but more on that in a sec. The flashback with Ito was nice, though it reinforced my notion from last week that the vast majority of people in this series are scumbags. This week it was the bullies. Meanwhile, Igarashi was upset Tsutsui didn't trust her. I guess that makes sense, but she didn't seem bothered by it when he jumped to the wrong conclusion with her doctor, unless I'm remembering that wrong. Maybe enough time passed since then in-universe for his insecurity to now upset her, but from an outsider perspective that was only like 2 or 3 episodes ago so it feels a bit contradictory. To me anyway, but whatever. Not sure what to make of their physical contact scene but I didn't think she was upset by it or anything, but who knows? Are we heading now down the path of Igarashi being the jealous/insecure one after seeing Tsutsui with Ayado? Who knew potatoes could cause so much drama?

What a generic backround story....is what I would like to say,but it was pretty nice.


However,damn Tsutsun,just when you had the chance to score you lost the ball. To make matters worse,the opponent team is now in possession of it.

This show is basic af,still like it very much.

Sumie is quite the talented gardener huh. Learning to give space to your friends is always a good thing. Its nice that Hikari realises that as a result of his new bonds that going back to how he was before is no longer viable. In a way i guess the reason why Ito and Hikari become fast friends is because they are similar in personality. An interesting episode that expanded upon Hikari and Iroha's fight while also showing his attempts to overcome this challenge. The insight into how he met Ito was interesting. But while one problem is solved a larger one seems to have been created thanks to Hikari's interaction with Sumie.

I remember earlier I made the observation that this was like a straight shojo romance with the male/female roles reversed, and it's so funny watching this show with that in mind. It's just so unusual that the male is the one having the internal monologue instead of the female.

Also, although the animation in this is bad, I don't actually mind when the alternative is shitty CG. This episode in particular had a lot of weird directing choices and the worst animation of the series so far, but I still say it's better than having a good looking show with jank ass CG.

The animation this episode was really bad, almost stick animations sometimes. Im starting to like Iroha a little more cause she starting to develop, but in compensation im starting to despise Ito, he is so lame and weak, even more than in the past as we see now. Why the hell he started to using that cat ears when he broke with his old "friends", is that suppose to be a affront to them and society or something like that?

Now is Iroha time to get jealous because of some potatoes. Those uncecessary and repetitive dramas is probably what get people away or into and define the shoujo genre. Classic.

I think the Ayado arc might be rushed a little...

(or they can just... cut some chapter in the end that would be scary for animeonly ---)

Seriously, it's just getting worse for Tsutsun to handle this "read the atmosphere" and "insensitive" thingy. He really need someone to give him some advice. At least he's got some from Ito and clear "previous" problem with Iroha. But now, new problem occured.

Pulling out the worst cliches possible in romance this is turning out to be shittier and shittier

For my scores it went from 7 in the first episode to 6 in the third and now 5 in the sixth episode.

Won't be surprised if it goes lower.

"Oh my cat friend talked to cats and I'm jealous" "Oh he pushed me down" "Oh he got the potatoes from a kouhai so I'm depressed"

I'm surprised I still haven't dropped this show yet

Hilarious because I thought Spring would be the best time to get back to Romance seasonals after a 3 season hiatus from the genre.

This is getting old, we are only jumping from drama to another drama over and over again, this is an endless loop:

Tsutsui starts feeling worthless and miserable --> Iroha tells him he's not --> Tsutsui tells her to find someone else --> Iroha's mad, she goes away --> Tsutsui enters on existencial crisis --> Tsutsui overthink things and gets determination and apologizes --> Iroha forgives him --> Tsutsui finds a way to fuck up again --> Repeat

so I was right, "how many times do I have to tell you that I love you?".

it was completely understandable that he'd run away after pushing her. but then again without some "action" what's the point of having a date anyway?

well, dropping this anyway. everything is SOOOOO basic.

The series reaches the halfway mark with an episode that forces Tsutsui to re-explore the beginning of his friendship with Ito so he can gain confidence in his everyday life. Also, his friendship with Ayado is growing but it is also bound to cause some friction in his relationship with Iroha. So far, the series has been good in averting overly dramatic scenarios and taking the mature and realistic way in portraying its story and characters.

boring episode
first part was Yaoi session with Itou & Tsutsui
next 2nd part was, teen desires cannot be controled and you really should be afraid of yourself, Tsutsui almost devoured Igarashi there!
And then Igarashi would found about the potatoes which she'll be jealous of Ayado being close to Tsutsui.
3/5.

This is ridiculous.

"How many times do I have to tell you I love you?"
> Proceeds to continually not understand how Tsutsui works and keeps trying to cause drama.

At first I liked Iroha since she seemed to see the good in people and appeared to not be shallow, but every episode just shows that she really is shallow. She is constantly implying that she shouldn't have to explain herself to him, and she wants Tsutsui to talk to her more but she refuses to communicate back. Most importantly, she thinks she knows everything about him and refuses to find common ground.

This romance is bullcrap, and we never hear a good reason why Iroha likes Tsutsui. I wish I had some real life Iroha brand Plot Sticky Glue. Imagine the practical applications.

When I'm finally thinking both Tsutsui and Igarashi are getting more cummunicative about their feelings, he run from her and she starts to get jealousy. But I think it's kinda acceptable, like... they wouldn't change that fast.
The background story about Itou and Tsutsui was cliche, but somehow great.

I like how they have shown how Itou and Tsutsui started as friends... well i have encountered someone like Itou and i hated that idea of how he could be friends with other people. I like what Tsutsui have said to him in regards of returning some kindness... in real life i even believe its not matter how many friends you have, its all about having a REAL TRUE FRIEND that will be there for you at all times... (its all about quality over quantity)

And speaking of igarashi, well as a guy i feel tsutsui since girls sometimes are un reasonable, i mean you dont know why are they angry at you for no reason at all... well that alone moment of Igarashi and tsutsui is funny!!! Hahaha...

And here comes Ayano, whom he have met while he has a problem with igarashi. That POTATO sure looks gonna be the start of something... hahaha...

Im so excited for next episode...

I really love this anime but I can't stand how ugly the animation is getting.
Anyway, a good episode about Tsutsun and Itou's friendship. Tsutsui is really dense, isn't he? And he doesn't learn from his own mistakes. He made Iroha angry because he seemed to not trust her and now he's really close with Ayado which apparently makes Iroha extremely sad. Hikari knows nothing about girls. Real girls, I mean.

Did the art come from interns of an outsource studio?
Nice backstory so Tsutsun first relation was with Ito, then lost to cat (not really).
More misunderstandings with Iroha the usual tropes but everything's kinda funny with nice dialogue.

You can apply that reasoning to any anime,and battle shonen almost do not even progress at all.

We meet new people,and its not stagnant, there is a point to tsutsui character development.

Compared to other shoujo this is a literal godsend.

Why does this anime have such dishonest haters?
