| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh, Chiyuki and Kokoro seemed like they destind to see each other one more time in this show. Tsumura better be prepared for himself because the amount of competition he's facing is no joke. Good to see Tsumura's mom doing better in the hospital. |
 |
| Ikuto has so much determination, I hope he will succeed, can't wait to see the next episode |
 |
| that slap was everytihng...lol made my day |
 |
| I'm still not understanding why Kokoro doesn't just tell the manager she quits. It's not as if she needs the modeling career to fund her while she grows as a designer, because she has already asked permission to quit. Why does she need permission? The manager basically said that the design agency is finished without Kokoro, so I doubt the agency has any sort of power to black list her in the design community. Instead, they let the manager provoke Chiyuki into quitting Ikuto's show, to move over to Kokoro. That put a hardship on Ikuto who had to change his theme. I am sure it also puts a hardship on Kokoro who is not used to working with Chiyuki, and she may have had to change her theme as well. |
| So after 9 episodes I can now confirm that this is the "new anime" that I've enjoyed the most this season by a mile! It's not the perfect adaptation by any means but it does check off a lot things that makes an Anime good, 2 of those being the OSTs and the voice acting! Pair it up with the VERY strong characters and you've got a super enjoyable show even if the animation and pacing might be lacking I'm a bit sad that I won't to see Ikuto and Chiyuki work together again but this is the best direction story wise |
 |
| well nice a fun competition |
| |
| I'm not sure how to feel about this, I was looking forward to see Chiyuki being Ikuto's model. I guess it's going to be different and special to see her being Kokoro's model though, but will it work out? Does Kokoro really stand a chance of defeating both Ayano and Ikuto? I mean, Kokoro pretty much gave her word on giving up on her dream if she doesn't win first place, and that's... Risky. Let's see what will happen. |

| This episode showed, why is this anime in the category of shounen and in my opinion it is really a shame. I wanted to like this anime, but it is slowly becoming distanced further from my hands reach. The shounen likes to play into the cards of rivality and I think it is getting slightly noticable that this anime just forces it's characters to get into conflicts. And I just hate it that it is that way. If you take for example similar anime about making clothes as this, categorized as josei, named 'Paradise Kiss', you can see the potential this anime could have... Well, maybe not... To explain my reasoning 'Runway de Waratte' is not really about making clothes, but more about doing typical shounen stuff in a untypical environment and it is doing a great job portraying it. But. BUT. Normal 'shounen' guy would not even consider watching this, just because it is an anime about making clothes, which it certainly is not. AND, anime fan who likes shoujo and josei like me is going to feel incompleteness coming from this show. In the end, this anime is so far a good attempt at going to the different and more special direction than most newly aired anime. But, maybe, just maybe went to far... |
| Every episode makes me love Chiyuki more. <3 Loved how she encouraged Kokoro to pursue what she wants. The part with Ikuto and his Mom was very nice. I'm rooting for Kokoro and Chiyuki to win it but let's see. |

| idk shit about fashion and fashion shows but i would loved if he asked is sisters (and mother? if she was 100% healthy) and make his theme "Family". I know they arent top models and he would probably lose but i feel like he would get respect points from every1, especially if his desings were good |

His sister who plays Volleyball might be his model. She is tall enough to be a model and she is pretty enough as well so that might be a twist that I'm on board with. Especially after he yelled at her in the last episode. We're literally at the Festival and we don't know who Ikuto's model is and I think the sister might be it. |

| I get the feeling that Ikuto is gonna come up short against Toh. I hope I'm wrong. |
 |
| Wonderful episode! it is head-on competition between Ikuto & Tou! very touching part was at the mom of Ikuto wanting to go to see Ikuto's work at Geika festival. 5/5. |
 |
| Ikuto: *compliments Chiyuki* Emotional music: *suddenly stops* lol. |
| I still have a bad feeling about the mom! next thing you know she needs a frontal lobe transplant! |
| Things escalated fast and wow Chiyuki will be modeling for Kokoro. So now she'll go up against Ikuto heh, this will be exciting. |
 |
| Oh, so Chiyuki ended up in the red team? It will be a challenge right up her alley, though. Especially as she got nothing but the cold shoulder in Paris. Kokoro got her chance as well. |
| Oh, I really didn't think Chiyuki would join Kokoro's team but that makes things even more interesting ! I'm wondering who's going to be Ikuto's model. |
 |
| Another good episode. I'm so pumped to see all of these rivals working against eachother. The main cast has been characterized really well. Im so excited to see how the fashion show goes. I wonder if it will be this next episode or the one after that? Thoroughly enjoying this show anyway♡♡♡ |
  |
| The two misfits that always see eye to eye with their misfortunes, have finally come back for one another, and are now working together for the next model show. And when the duo finally meet Kokoro, the face-to-face interactions just shatter their dreams once again, but with absolute payback as rivals of each other: Kokoro vs. Chiyuki with Ikuto at the helm as a designer. Good to see that Ikuto's mom is alive and well, but to see her will being to see his fashion show, he must not let his family down after coming this far. After leaving Yanagida's place and leaving his opportunity at Ayano's for his own dream, everyone are on their own toes to strive their best and crush the competition. Same for Ryuunosuke, and with him onboard, two minds work wonders to rival Ayano. With that, everyone presses on for the big day, in aniticipation of the festival. The fashion festival that all has done their magnificence, what will be the results of their hard work? Great episode that picks up pacing. |
 |
| meh Toh has a bunch of people doing work for him while the other 2 have to do almost everything alone lol wasn't expecting Chiyuki to leave Ikuto's team, nice twist i guess, it made sense tho Kokoro will have her big chance, either win and finally leave the manager, or lose and fully commit to model |
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons  |

That would be so corny but I would absolutely love that kind of twist. Especially if he chooses his sister who he yelled at. The one who plays volleyball. |

| Well... and that's how you lose your main model in the blink of an eye. Honestly, I don't know if I like the idea of Chiyuki leaving Ikuto's team since I was really excited to see them working together. Especially considering those two manage to bring out the best of each other, I was expecting them to become a very powerful duo but well. Such a shame but I guess the author wanted the audience to have it rough to choose a side. Anyways, as long as Toh doesn't win, I'm happy with whoever get the 1st. place between Kokoro and Ikuto. |
| Damn, this was fast-paced but great nonetheless! Chiyuki's determination again was very admirable to see. Sad that we won't be getting the duo partnership between the MCs this time but to see them compete isn't too bad either, I suppose. Boy, is he fired up for this though? Having to take on the likes of Ayano-san and not falter is pretty impressive alone. Really glad that Ikuto's mother is well for now. I hope he'll find a chance to apologize to Aoi though, that definitely wasn't nice at all and that should be it for the family problems for a while at least, I imagine. Cool to see a little in the Ayano household too. And that slap right before the Op, lmfao. Ah, I just love the chemistry between the two. Can't wait to see what's in store for us next! |

| Mannnnn, that kinda felt like a buzzkill having chiyuki just casually switch sides like that. Either way I still hope Ikuto comes out on top lol. That being said though, how exactly do you rival a designer with a model? Oh well, there’s definitely gonna be some drama after this Horn_dawg_2019 said: Sheees I wonder why would Kokoro call Ikuto "sempai" when she older than him??? You know for Chiyuki to consider Ikuto as her rival is basically a stupid analogy cu'z A model cannot rival a designer unless the model itself is s designer and Chiyuki is not a designer , she a model wanna be if she wants to consider a rivalry with Ikuto then she should' be a designer herself, the real rivalry is with Kokoro and Ikuto. Bc Ikuto was working at Hanigawa’s first before Kokoro (and that’s where they met) so in terms of “work experience” ikuto would be “older” than kokoro |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Hasegawa got the chance :O It's now or never! That was cold! Never imagined Ayano would just pass by Ikuto and pretended he didn't see him. A stab in the feels >_< Even so, it was a nice episode! :) |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| So Chiyuki x Kokori? |
| Haha, Ikuto getting bitch slapped, this bloody show. Decent twists this episode, will be interesting to see how it all pans out. |
 |
| Ikuto gonna get crushed. Kokoro not modeling is a waste. |
 |
Horn_dawg_2019 said: Sheees I wonder why would Kokoro call Ikuto "sempai" when she older than him??? Sorry the reply is a bit late. She explained it in the beginning. It's because they know each other from their job and he has been working there longer than she has which makes him her work-related senpai (age doesn't matter in that regard). |
| Nice bonding between Chiyuki and Ikuto there in the beginning. The Geika Festival is right around the corner! What a shocker though, Ikuto having the same theme as Ayano. I wonder who will come out on top? |
| Ooooooh, shnapps! I'm lowkey Team Kokoro hahahah. And not bc we both have the same name ;P Man, imagine if I rejected all guys who asked me out with that same Chiyuki slap LOOOOLLLLLLL, RIP. |
| Pretty amazing to see Chiyuki encouraging Kokoro and helping but also a bit bad that Ikuto and Chiyuki are rivals now and Ikuto has additional pressure on him. Well you know what they say, great minds think alike, especially with the coincidence on Ikuto's theme. Rooting for Ikuto to win but also for Kokoro to be able to follow her dream after the festival. |
 |
| Finally, after four months, they're continuing the English dub. Ikuto certainly has gained a lot of confidence, so hopefully it'll pay off. |
 |
| Feeling ups and downs. 3 of them will join the battle in Geika Festival. Usually relax guy will take the lead. Exciting. Unfortunately Chiyuki did not with Ikuto but Ikuto try harder. |
| I had so much hope for another model and fashion anime but this one is just disappointing. |
