its gettin really good... but its weird the way mitsuki has to seduce him and he agreed to it i mean i kinda think that he might've liked her before he liked haruka but isnt he meant to be inlove with her?

the way the whole thing is done is good by the flashbacks i'm gettin really into it now i get it why the first episode was so rushed.

^ Well yeah, it's obvious that Narumi liked Mitsuki first; that's why everything Mitsuki wishes that time, he do it. After Mitsuki told him everything about Haruka; he then actually said it to love her.

Ummm, when coma girl was dating Narumi, they weren't even together that long, they didn't even love each other, they went on what? 2 dates? give me a break. i was sad for a whole year after my girlfriend/lover died in a car accident, but that was a 3 year relationship, not a few weeks, and plus, she died, not got herself in a coma. i'm just not wanting Narumi to pick coma girl. blah.

It's way to over-dramatic, Narumi breaks down and yet he hasn't even known Haruka that long at all. And also the way Akane over reacts when she sees Mitsuki in Narumi's bed was way too extreme. Still Mitsuki was a bitch to betray Haruka like that.

The way the passing of time is depicted and the psychology of the characters are what really make KGNE stand out in his genre. Great episode.

Well, I think that the relationship of Narumi and Haruka was much more longer than what you think, but of course they won't show us every single thing they did, right? Would take several episodes just to show that and wouldn't be that interesting. Instead, they showed us how close they had gotten before the accident. So I think Narumi has the right to be that depressed.

I agree with inachan and Kvakond - Mitsuki looks so much better with long hair!

And yeah, no-longer-long-haired Mitsuki was a bitch. Getting naked in front of Narumi-kun, seducing him, telling him she loves him like that... No coments. @_@

I think the situation is different. Since Haruka is still alive, he can't just move on with his life. He still has to be there for her, because he still loves her. At the same time, he can't dwell on it for his own well being. I think the conditions were such that he couldn't really move on. He's had to see Haruka in her comatose state regularly for the last year and has had nothing to take his mind off the reality of the situation. Moreover, I'm not actually sure how long they were together. We saw bits and pieces of their relationship, but I somehow feel they left out large swaths of time.

As for Mitsuki seducing him...Perhaps that wasn't the best way for her to handle the situation, but she probably convinced herself that it was what's best for him (It may well be the only way to get his mind off Haruka).

I'd say they were going out for atleast a few months not just a few dates but it's hard to tell the way they skip time in this show. the other reason of course they both feel bad is they feel guilty as if he was on time it wouldn't of happened. that was kind of an odd way for mitsuki to finally tell him her feelings but she couldn't take looking at him like that anymore.

I share the same view about this.

I actually loved this episode, it was pretty intense, specially that part where Narumi is in the hospital, wanting to "go out" with haruka.

I can't judge Mitsuki and Narumi. They were in pain and they'd never know if haruka would wake up some day. I mean... it were 3 years. Even her parents wanted Narumi to move on... I mean, they clearly expressed it.

She must really love him to be with him while he is like that. Man was nasty-dirty. Came off looking like he hadn't showered or anything for days at a time and she still did that.

Anyway, I think what Haruka's parent's did was right. He needed to move on. It wasn't healthy like that. I don't think one can really help the situation. How long does one have to wait?

No, no. The flashback started from the shot of the vase and ended with the vase again in "present" time, so Haruka's awake by that point.

Yeah i thought that Narumi's reaction was appropriate. They've been getting along for quite a while, they just don't show it to us. And i believe that Narumi genuinely loved Haruka, so much that he even forgot about his original love for Mitsuki.

He hestitated when Mitsuki confessed to him and kissed him remember? It was only when she resorted to desperate measures that he gave in. Shit if I was him i would've caved at the kiss, i mean shit if he could reject her after she stripped naked and started kissing him, i'd say he was a faggot.

Damn, Takayuki really looked like a hobo that first year after the accident.

Akane walking in on Mitsuki in Takayuki's bed finally answers the question of why she was so angry at her.

Mitsuki didnt do anything wrong,

at that point when she and narumi first "got together," it was an entire year after the accident. Even then, there was no indication that mitsuki DIDNT feel guilty about it.

But what do you do in that situation...mope and feel down on urself and be pathetic like narumi was being? Even Haruka's parents gave him permission to move on. They told him to stop coming to see their daughter because he was so caught up in the past that it was bringing them down as well.

Narumi and Mitsuki did exactly what normal people should do...move on. To say Mitsuki is a "back stabbing bitch" could not be further from the truth. I think its clear that she has loved narumi for a very long time yet did not act on this because of her devotion to the friendship.

Akane is the only one who is seeing the surface of the entire story here, and apparently some other posters here too :(

A voice in my head kept going "Slut, slut, slut, sluuuuuuuut" whenever Mitsuki opened her mouth to speak. The end got me so upset.

I really can't stand her. It was her fault that Haruka had an accident, and now she totally betrayed her. Her best friend.
-
I can understand Narumi, but I'm really sorry to everyone who likes her - Mitsuki's such a slut. She's been trying to hook up with him the whole time behind Haruka's back, and then she does it when the poor girl's in a coma. I mean seriously, that's low.

I don't love Haruka or anything, but come on. I can't even imagine doing something like that to my best friend, and if a friend did that to me I would be devastated.

Mitsuki always had feelings for Narumi, that is true, but when did you saw in the show, that Mitsuki was attempting to steal Narumi away from Haruka? HUH?

The accident can be blame on the driver, maybe its best if Narumi didn't show up, because he might of been hit by the car as well. Oh wait? What this? Its called "Life Happens"! Narumi and Mitsuki can't be blame for this tragic event, if it didn't happen, Haruka would of just get hit by a car somewhere else for the story to move forward.

Anyone would be devastated, if your best friend dates your boyfriend, I think thats a normal reaction, but if you look at it, from another perspective, you're willing to allow your boyfriend to wait 3 miserable years for you to wake up? If we switch the roles, can you wait that long? If you love someone, sometime you've to "set them free."

Now regarding the episode. Now I know where Akane aggressive toward Mitsuki comes from.
Narumi decision to take Haruka out of the hospital was obviously bad, but who can blame him? Without Mitsuki support through the years, he might of done worst things to others and himself. I've to say, Mitsuki betraying her own feelings for Narumi over few years, is applauding. She the type of friend I would like to have and don't say thats BS, you've to include the situation everyone was in (ex. coma girl).

Yes, I am defending Mitsuki like a mad man, because her actions aren't wrong, but maybe she should of done a better way of helping Narumi, than straight-up sex (not that I'm disliking).

Figures, the parents didn't even bother to tell their daughter what was going on. Why do parents always feel they need to hide things and protect their children? Don't they realize that secrets are what destroy families?


I feel for Mitsuki, badly, she's hurt because she thinks it is her fault, and she's hurt because she sees her other best friend and potential love interest increasingly falling further away. She makes a move. And man, this is the first time I've said this, but he deserved to be slapped by both the doctor and her.

Wow. How emotional this show is.

I know, Mitsuki has cared for him for a while. She wasn't quite fighting it as much as she said. I think that's why she blames herself for it.

The problem I have with this show is that it's going far too extreme with it's drama. In this episode I was shocked at how well Akane and Mitsuki handled Nouzimi dragging Hanuka out of her dorm. Obviously they are both insane, but the show won't accept that fact because the show must go on!

This is what I've wanted to see in ep 3 , better later than never .
This was epic: Narumi losing his mind ,everyone having a tough time , 20 min passed like 2 min .
Poor Akane is hating Mitsuki and Narumi without knowing about what happened in that rainy day.
I changed my mind about Narumi and Mitsuki , in ep 4 I supposed the worst scenario happened : Narumi visited Haruka for less than a year without having a traumatic experience and being depressed ,then Narumi and Mitsuki found happiness without giving a damn about Haruka .

Feel sorry for the guy :(

So her parents told Takayuki not to visit Haruka anymore because he was too miserable to be around. No one gave a rat's ass about him while he was depressed or tried to help him. They just handed him over to Mitsuki. Even his "best friend" didn't move a finger to help him... PTSD is real and needs professional treatment. Frankly, Takayuki is lucky he was somewhat able to get over it.

Yeah, I'm not really sure how I feel about them getting together. On one hand, they have no clue when Haruka will wake up and they're just dating and moving on with their lives until Haruka wakes up but if I were them I'd feel awful if I got together with my GF's best friend when my GF was in a coma. They do seem to feel really guilty about it, but stll.

But, yeah, this was a very depressing episode.

(rewatching)

Mostly a 1-year-after flashback. Haruka's accident basically put a stop to both Takayuki's and Mitsuki's lives. She quit the swim team, and he quit... everything. Understandable considering what happened and how connected they are (to Haruka and each other).

It was a good idea to show the events in the order that they showed them. I was skeptical at first but going to the future, I thought it was wrong of Narumi to move on so easily and just completely forget about Haruka, but as we can see now it wasn't like that. Her accident really put him in a depressive, catatonic state

Narumi was losing his mind in this episode. Interesting request for the parents to ask him not to visit anymore. It seems the daughter didn't know that. I find her role to be a little annoying, things wouldn't be as bad if she wasn't around, but then again it'd be less interesting.

And Hayase...To see her literally throw herself on to him wooow!!! She lowkey is really to blame. To be honest it would have been cool if she did it to cheer him up (kinda...) but she was asking if she's not good enough and she's always wanted him...that's pretty selfish especially considering the circumstances. I mean there's a time and a place for everything. That wasn't cool.

Flashback really helped, so the parents told Takayaki not to visit for his sake, and he eventually got sane. And Mitsuki finally revealed her feelings, but oh shit, got discovered by imouto.

Gosh this anime is so freaking sad... in my opinion i don't think anyone is at fault here... parents just told takayuki to move on and begged him not to see their daughter ever again (isn't this like a break up request from the parents)? I feel this should have been explained to imouto... Also even though up till this episode, we knew haruka would recover after 3 years, but the characters at that point of time did not know... the coma could have gone forever.. faced with such a drastic situation, i can't blame hayase and takayuki for getting together... in fact it is great hayase snapped him out of his depression... he has been rotting for a year, who is paying the bills?! Lets say he continued to rot till haruka wakes up.. that'll mean he has to rot for another 2 years, is shinji or hayase expected to pay for his daily bills?

Was the coach completely unaware of her situation; yelling at Mitsuki like that after a disappointing race.

Why wouldn't the parents tell Akane that they asked Takayuki to stop coming over? If for not other reason than to give Akana an excuse to visit Takayuki.

While it was apparent that Mitsuki also had feelings for Takayuki; can't say I've been a big fan how she has gone about acting on them.
