Mmm, the flashbacks with the blindfolds were hot. <3

Nowaki is so straight-forward and assertive! Good on him for applying for higher education, I wonder if he'll be accepted into the same university as Misaki?

Hiroki's stalker mode is too cute. XD The bouquet was such a sweet idea~ although of course he had to lecture Nowaki with "must study harder from now on". ^^;

Oh I so agree about the stalker mode! I thought he was so adorable with that!!
I do love how the link was done between the two story arcs, with Usami as the center...Was fun to see him as uke for a scene.^_^!!

I've always been iffy on the whole idea of "love at first sight", so having a bit more development would have been nicer. BUT overall they make for an extremely cute couple and, like so many others have said, I like them a bit better than the main couple. Though I really like Usami overall. :3

Agreed, especially this episode. I hope things slow down a little.

I'm not too crazy about this couple either.

It was soooo cute!
But it is kinda... weird that those guys fall in love and then suddenly fall in love with somebody else..
Did anyone think it is really weird that akihiko was in love with takahiro for 10 years or something and suddenly want misaki now? Kinda fake..
But without those facts I totally love JR! <3

A childhood friend of Usami's, huh? And they also had sex. Cool.
I just wonder when all of this happened. I couldn't really follow.
I mean, the time when Usami came to his apartment who knows
why. Was it at this time while he's living with Misaki, I wonder?

Is episode 3 a flashback? Because it shows how hiroki and nowaki first meet, and how hiroki also slept with akihiko.
In episode 5 hiroki says he and nowaki known each other for 6 years now, so is episode 3 a flashback?

Yes, the whole episode 3 from start to finish was a flashback of how hiroki and nowaki first meet and got together.
I will try to explain it with more detail and also provide the manga details if you don't mind?...

First, hiroki's character was introduced to us in episode 2 (vol.1 ch1.2 in manga)
And hiroki says that he's akihiko's childhood friend.

Then we get to see hiroki back story,
in episode 3(vol.2 ch.2), we watch as hiroki remembers how he and akihiko slept together, then he meets nowaki for the first time(which is a flashback because it all happened 6 years ago).

Episode 3 is all a flashback, because in episode 5(vol.2 ch.2) hiroki himself said that he and nowaki known each other for 6 years now..

In episode 5, in the anime hiroki said:
"it's just been 6 years of this, over and over.."
And in the manga(vol.2 ch.2) hiroki said: "Its been like this for the 6 years we've known each other"

Confirming that all of episode 3 was a flashback to 6 years ago.

meaning that all of the event's that happened in episode 3 were a flashback to 6 years ago.

in episode 3, hiroki remembers how he and akihiko slept together
hiroki and akihiko slept together just recently,(recently, as in the same time frame as episode 3, which happened 6 years ago)hiroki is remembering it/has a flashback of how akihiko slept with him, then he meets nowaki.
but time wise, it all happened 6 years ago, because the event's of episode 3 is a flashback that happened 6 years ago.
and episode 5 for example is the present time, and it's been 6 years since all of the events from episode 3.

so when hiroki and akihiko slept together it was 6 years ago, then hiroki meet nowaki not so long after, at that park, also 6 years ago.

when akihiko and hiroki slept together 6 years ago, it was even before akihiko and misaki meet each other.
I just saw one comment saying that when akihiko came to hiroki apartment when nowaki was there in episode 3, that akihiko was already with misaki, but he wasn't, because it all happened 6 years ago, akihiko and misaki didnt know each other at the time.
and all of the events of episode 3 happened before misaki even knew akihiko.

So everything that happened in episode 3 was a flashback to 6 years ago.

and episode 5 is in the present time.

In present time hiroki and nowaki are together for 6 years.
And in present time akihiko and misaki's relationship is still new and fresh.

You could also see the everything that happened in episode 3 was a flashback because all of them look younger, hiroki, nowaki, and akihiko..all of them are 6 years younger.
