I think this ep was a good change of pace, but too late for me to change my opinion of the show.

I'm surprised by how many people are taking this seriously. It's obvious what will happen. Ichinose is just a hilarious loser who's gonna get REKT and rejected. I'm kinda disappointed in Takeo this ep. Kinda understandable thinking he's not the best one in the world for Rinko but he should know by now their OTP bond is stronger than some hobbies <_<

Read that some of you guys found it cliche and cheesy. However for me, I actually like this episode a lot, and most probably even the next/last episode IMO. After all, it's not like as if Ore Monogatari overuse this 'love triangle' element. In this whole season there's probably only like 6 episode that's going to have this 'love triangle' thingy (two from Mariya and two from Ai's arc). Also, what's romance without this type of cliche conflict? Well I probably can't really think or list much else. However I do want to mention that these sentences that you've just read comes from someone who hardly watch or enjoys romance genre sooooooo yeah may be invalid.

Aaaaaanyway lots of funny moments hahaha I'm surprise that I'm enjoying this series because I probably used to shun away from silly comedies like this hehe. Can't wait for the next episode to nicely wrap up this series.

Seriously ? The series is already nearing its end and they decided to add a rival character in the penultimate episode just for the sake of creating a drama ? smh.

WTF?! Takeo should have bodyslammed his ass into the river :(

The guy will obviously not be a serious love contender, this is more about Takeo's kindness and he nees to overcome it a little.

Season 2 is possible, maybe after a year or 2.
The TV ratings are great after all.

anyway talk about narcissistic characters...

also i feel like the author is the kind of person that gets too attached to the lover when falls in love, meaning he/she might have stalking tendencies(as shown by the stalker girl and the way takeo acted in this episode)

Another arrogant guy voiced by Fukuyama Jun this season. It was really fun to watch him :D

But he came off as rude to Takeo. Felt quite bad for the poor guy tbh.
Putting others' feelings before his own sounds so like him. I'd love to have a friend like that irl too tho :D

This anime is about Takeo x Yamato. It isn't a drama manga/anime, but they need to have some kind of strife to give it some depth. Of course Ep 24 will show Takeo standing up for Yamato and Yamato saying that there is no one better for her than Takeo. I'm glad this series is more slice of life, need more romance like this.

Probably the most interesting episode in a while, and that is not saying a lot to be honest.. It would be interesting if they actually do break up and we end up getting a sad ending to this otherwise superfluously happy series. That would be quite the twist.

Here comes netorare people. You know what? I should have never bothered with Ore Monogatari forums. Every week, there's always some topic which annoys the hell out of me.

Ichinose is a fun guy but arrogant and kinda rude as well. Not a bad guy though. If this story was about him and Yamato solely, I would have shipped them. As that's not the case, I am not going to. Yamato x Takeo's love for each other is too strong anyways (no, I don't ship them but I do admit their love for each other)

i just can't see how anyone would be able to see ichinose as "a decente guy and good character" he's extremely arrogant and narcissistic, celf centered and a boaster, while he might be a realistic character, i just want to remind everyone the he just has gona up to the boyfriend of the girl he likes saying "i'm better than you and more fit to her as a boyfriend", sure, kudos for the courage in doing that with takeo, but that's just because he is too much full of himself and that actually makes me hate him even more.

I actually thought that episode 23 was going to be about Ai finally moving on from Takeo and with the hope of giving a chance to the guy that was chasing her.

I thought this anime was done with the love challenge stuff, specially since the two of them have already kissed. Shame its taking this route to close out the anime. And its even more of a shame that Rinko will not even know that that guy likes her, so it will all be a waste of time.

I really liked this episode. Finally we can see Takeo feeling something not "heroic", like jealousy and insecurity. It feels really natural for him to feel insecure about it, because although he listens to Yamato's passionate talking about cakes, he can't really contribute anything and obviously feels inferior.

That Ichinose guy doesn't actually love Yamato. He idealises her, sees her as his "muse", and when he tells Takeo to break up with her he doesn't really care what's better for her, but only what's better for him ("I need her"). Takeo sees Yamato more as the person she is. But he does have some valid points there, though it doesn't make him a more suitable partner for her.

On a side note, I love Suna being called Makoto. The name really suits him.

Everyone's talking about how they hate the chef but can you really blame him the whole ep. Yamato was leading him on even if wasn't intential when she says she'll buy the remaining treats she doesn't mention she'll eat them with takeo

Why wouldn't she say had a bf right there no reason to hide it. She only mentions it after he fell for her when it's to late. Not to mention she known him for what 2 days? And it's fine to call her by her 1st name? Didn't she meet takeo later the same day? Wouldn't she realize that takeo still calls her last name and asked to be called that? I think she's more at fault then any of the boys.


Not sure why no one else sees this, but I have to agree with you here. Yamato had no reason to initially hide the fact that she had a boyfriend to anyone. She's a part-timer, and the youngest of the bunch. It's not like letting people know that she's taken from the off would affect their opinion of her much. Knowing her personality, she probably didn't do it on purpose, but it still doesn't take away from the fact that she did it.
I know she's young and all that, but if she really cared so much for Takeo's well-being, she should be conscious of the real fact of external third-parties might try to butt their way into their relationship (like the girls who she suspected liked Takeo previously). If you're mature enough to date exclusively, then you should be mature enough to know to look out for the other person's feelings and well-being in a relationship.

Knew someone that did stuff like that, sent mixed signals to her older coworkers, never admitting she was taken. Tried to brush it off as nothing when with her guy, but the truth was everyone and their uncle could see she was doing it on purpose (i.e. gold digger). Ended up getting her arse dumped first, but truth came out that she was being shady with a colleague from work even when she was with her guy.

Whilst I can understand Takeo's inferiority complex, it's a damn shame that he himself doesn't see that he and Ichinose are at different points in life, and he really shouldn't be making comparisons between them.

With the story about the dog, I would probably be worried about how this ends, considering Ichinose isn't exactly a manipulative, certified asshole.... buuuut, since I've already read past this in the manga... I'll shut up :P

If Yamato was the type of person that cared about the types of things that Ichinose thinks she should, she wouldn't be dating Takeo in the first place.

Yeah, I think if the story was just about Yamato and Ichinose a lot of people would be shipping them. He's arrogant and rude and doesn't really "know how to love" yet but he reminds me of the main guys in a lot of shoujo anime and drama stories (Hana Yori Dango-style).

I agree with you guys, I think she should have been more open and mentioned her boyfriend. I'm not sure what timing would have been good but with all those other girl coworkers I can't believe no one ever gossiped about romance...

Also I've noticed a lot of people in Japan don't mention they are dating or have boyfriends/girlfriends at work. Some don't even mention if they're married. It's not that they're trying to hide it, they just don't share unless asked. That's just my experience though, can't be sure it reflects the whole culture or this anime episode, haha.

I liked Ichinose. He is the first guy who isn't afraid of Takeo, and I liked how he was honest about wanting Yamato. And how he changed when he got inspired by her.

And it doesn't means I ship Ichinose x Yamato, it just means I liked him as a character. He is not a bad guy, he just need to have someone who makes him believe in himself.

Maybe he could be with Yukika Amami.

In a nutshell, this had much more drama than I had anticipated. Well, if they are gonna end up the series ( 1 ep left) , probably the standard shoujp route "they-live-happily-ever-after" is going to be chosen. Well.. let us wait and watch .. the last episode will be delayed though :(
~~
The comedy part was nice this episode too :D
Postbox Takeo stalking Yamato cracked me up

~~
The scene that made me laugh out loud was Suna following Ichinose's line of sight :v

Those scenes made me laugh too. It felt very natural in terms of comedy and thoughts. This anime is amazing. I liked the short scenes at the beach too where Takeo was with Suna just contemplating how he should feel and what he should do. I can say that I did the same thing with my best friend when it came to women in the past.

That's actually one of the things I really like about it. There are romances out there that deal with some really serious stuff (like Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou, Honey & Clover, etc..) but this one has a really lighthearted feel even during the more serious moments because you can easily see that the characters are NEVER going to break up, ever. They're going to grow to be geriatrics together, period. In that same vein, none of the side-characters have to be seriously mean or cruel (except "the groper", so Takeo could hit him)- it would only serve to bring the atmosphere of the show down closer to reality, which would defeat the purpose.

That's part of the appeal really- a lot of positive happy uplifting/romantic stuff without the heart-clenching pain of things going seriously wrong. It's a bit childish, immature, and most of all crazy-optimistic- there's very little seriously dramatic drama. Nothing at all wrong with that though, IMO.
