| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Another fantastic episode. Fumi's struggle about coming out to A-chan was beautifully handled. Shocker on who Sugimoto's former lover is though! |

| I think this is the best episode so far in this series. I'm glad Fumi finally came out. This might actually be the best yuri I've ever seen. O; I am glad that someone out there made this - there are far too many girls out there that feel so trapped and insecure about everything just like this. A fantastic episode, a historic episode. This is probably the very first seriously meant lesbian outcoming in anime history. |
| OMG !!! Insn't Yasuko lover like, MOE !! And I loved how Fumi came out of the closet to Aa-chan. :) And of course for the time being I'm sure that Aa-chan is going to en up with Kyouko. Like Duh !! so Yasuko x Fumi Aa-Chan x Kyouko !! xD Well that's only my prediction. And I don't think the lover has anything to do with the actual story line. |

| What if it was "speculation" on my part? Where is your ZOMGSPOILER now, huh? I don't think the series could have been any more obvious about it while still keeping it's subtlety. If you can't grasp subtlety that's not my problem. Spoiler tags, just to be safe, you know (lol) |
| Oh haha. You're one of those. Of course, you must always be right. I'm so sorry for disturbing you. In other words, I'm not going to discuss this or anything else with you. I've got better things to do. |
| Guy's stop fighting over something so tribal. It's not spoilers. The Raw has not even surfaced on the internet. There's no way we could know. (Unless you read the manga xD) And besides just pay attention to dialogue and you can pretty much know everything. :D |

D; In any case what you say is true - pay attention to what is said. It's very important in this series. |
| this episode was great! so those girls can like boys too, i was starting to get woried... |
 |
| That's so sudden. Fumi likes sempai as girlfriend, but she likes to be with A-chan. Sempai likes the teacher with the glass, but he doesn't. |

The problem is that Crunchyroll mistranslated Kagami-sensei's line as "Pretend I didn't just say that." instead of "I'll pretend I didn't hear that". That's why some people think the scene was more ambiguous than it really was (it wasn't ambiguous at all to begin with really). Here's hoping CR will get a better translator. Their current one sucks. Oh geez. That's some translation fail right there. I wouldn't have known about this as I watch the RAWs myself. Thanks for pointing it out. |

And us fan's start a discussion over something so simple. And I couldn't agree more. CR needs a better translator. Thanks for the info btw :D |

| Really good episode.. I read the manga, but so far I think i'm enjoying the Anime even more. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Looks like things are starting to get more complicated... |
| Cute episode. |

| Fumi came out of the closet. |
| My favourite episode so far. The anime really has been adapted remarkably well from the manga. Im still surprised by Yasuko's voice, its not what I expected but it suits her well. |
| Great episode, everything came together really well. |

| So Fumi spilt the beans. Good that Aa-chan took it well. |
 |
| They're doing a really great job with this. Btw Koharubi translated it as "Let's pretend you didn't hear that. I'm sorry," so apparently there is a lot of confusion, especially when you consider that Kagami-sensei said something to Sugimoto that we couldn't hear. Just another reason for people to go read the manga though! |

| Commendable show, honestly. I can't say I know any homosexuals or anything (and their love lives as portrayed by popular media makes it seems like they're all depressed or self-destructive), but it's wonderful that this anime is allowing us to see two girls dating as being a normal, happy, lovely thing. They're not like say, ashamed of their feelings (I think Fumi is more reserved about her homosexuality, and is coming to terms with it), though you can see how they still have to be wary about it. That entire scene with Fumi coming out to Akira was magnificent. It really captures the spirit and feelings behind letting someone you care about and trust know something deep and personal about you. Telling a friend a secret is a hard thing anyway, and I can only imagine what coming out of the close must be like. Fumi crying and sadly asking Akira not to find her to be disgusting because she has a girlfriend and isn't straight was very heart-wrenching. It makes me wonder if most people have such a painful and hard time coming out to those they love (I guess so, though). If so, we all need to be like Akira: open and supportive. It's nice to see a realistic coming out story in anime. Since most of the time, the homosexuals in anime are seen to be predatory or suicidal or they don't care. Which is all right, but it's nice to see that some of them are actually portraying the fears that real life people might have. Akira shines in episode for showing us that she really is an excellent best friend. |
| I'm with stupid. |
| Nice subtle touch between the Student and The Teacher relationship. Altough Im not really sure if it was romance... Who knows? Maybe they're siblings... I won't give upon that posibility yet, or maybe Im being too simple minded. |
| This show continues to impress me. For mistakenly starting it under the impression that it was a high school slice-of-life anime, and then realizing it was shoujo-ai, I've really come to enjoy it. I've never been the type to deliberately watch a shonen-ai or shoujo-ai. I have no problems with them, but they just hold no interest for me. There's just something about this show that's so calming. The moods are subtle, relaxing, and yet very much enticing. I like the atmosphere, and the realistic portrayal of the characters. |
| Indeed, the realistic prortrayal of the characters is something that amazes me in Aoi Hana. At least finally a shoujo-ai where not everyone takes it for granted that all the girl school students are full-blown lesbians (and perfectely fine with it). Cute and genuine, small and big troubles. I like this so far. |
| I figured that the they has some sort of special relationship, but not quite like that ^_^; |
 |
| I'd been assuming from the teacher's reactions that he was the one with the hots for Sugimoto, not the other way around. I wonder if Sugimoto is bi, or just "experimenting". I hope for Fumi's sake that its the former and not the later. I'm curious about what happened at the tea shop after the coming out, did Fumi run away or what? |
| I didn’t saw that one was coming, and that’s interesting to learn about that Sugimoto’s former lover. I’m glad that Fumi tells Akira about her relationship. |
| I'm really enjoying the small comments Fumi's mother keeps making. I like that she said "I hope you don't think it's gross". And I like that the "came out of the closet" reference was made. I knew something sketchy happened with the teacher the moment they put him into the series. I'm thinking I'm seeing symbolism between the "old" high school and the "new" one. |

| Hmm this is getting pretty interesting.. I like the teachter she confessed to, i wanna know what he's thinking.. |
| That last part was very predictable, the relationship between the teacher and the girl (I can't remember her name!!). Nice episode. |

| It was interesting.. and it was good to see that they showed the kiss. |
| When will this chain of love end xD |
| I really don't want Fumi to get hurt again! But I feel like it's inevitable. :( Great episode! 5/5 |
| I also love this episode. I am feeling a bit sorry for Fumi, but I feel more sorry for Sugimoto; I feel like she's more into the relationship than Fumi is. Still, it was very brave of Fumi to confess her relationship to A-chan. |
 |
| wow some heavy themes in this episode. Never imagined that anime would deal with the "coming out" dilemma or maybe I just don't watch yuri too often lol. Looks like Sugimoto is bisexual and had an unrequited love for her teacher? O.o great episode |
| WOW It's amazing how they were able to handle such a theme very maturely and realistically. Nice one J.C.Staff. Looks like you're coming off my shit list. |
| episode 4 and i feel even more twisted/embarassed, huh. heavy themes as their finest. i'm not sure if i'm overthinking the whole or..? this ep left a whole lot question marks in head. |
