Yayoi is totally weak, but since she has a stalker, some of it is justified. I'm not sure when it started, but I'm going to guess once she started being Yuki's manager. Still though, had she not been a shameless whore, she could go straight to the police instead of being afraid of crushing Yuki.

The stalker leaves rumors about Hiragi that guy who Rina's manager in season one at the beginning but why is he stalking her might be for personaly revenge or something else like you mention below.

I'm not really sure how it will play out. Isn't Kanzaki behind this? I can't remember anymore. Either way, I think this is the manner Yuki will find out about Yayoi. It would be great if she finds out about both Rina and Yayoi next week.

I am sure she will be shocked if she gets the pictures of all this. Kanzaki might be using Hiragi for this yes but why would Hiragi do this could be because Touya became the manager of Rina right after he got fired. I am not sure Hiragi knows that Touya is not the manager of Rina anymore. I remember this much at least.

In spoiler my anime list for now.

-Yuki and Touya's dad's conversation. What is it the two of them know that Touya doesn't. I first thought it was some affair between the two of them, but I don't think that's true. It could be a reason why Yuki seems so ambivalent/doesn't care about Touya's behavior.

I think this is the most highlight thing in this episode for me beside the ending. I am really curious to know what exactly about it. As you said, Yuki seems to accept Touya in every possible reason but why did she think Touya is worth that much is remain unknown. But if we view Touya as a character we can see he is a little unnatural. And the first thing comes to my mind is, did he has an accident in the past which made him lost some memories? But I don't really see that is the case here.

LOL then how am I supposed to be so sure about it anymore? But the point is, after learning all of those, will she still fall in love with him?

That right, I forgot about that part. I was also lead to believe that Touya has some type of memory loss. Could it have to do with the way his mom died? I distinctly remember Yuki talking about how Touya doesn't remember the first time they really met last season.

Oh Lord, I was lol'ing so hard. Touya is really a piece of human trash lusting for any type of personal human interaction. Lucky for him he knocked at the right door, but his luck might run out soon. Both Misaki and Yayoi see his true colors (even if the latter is fine with it for her own personal desires). And Yuki might connect two of her braincells and put the picture together. If she even wants to. She's no better with her unhealthy need for dependence on others.
I can't wait for the all the shit to hit the fan.

~Wow~ wall of texts 0___0 Now where is Mentar to add more fun to the debates? LOL

Seriously though, I doubt Yuck-i will be able to do anything besides bawling when she found out the whole thing, and that will amuse me endlessly as I LOL'ed over her dumb naivety. Ahhhhh.... How sweet.... Finally a show where the typical moe crap female that I so despise got axed.... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

Now this is seriously starting to remind me of School Days...

*hoping for a nice boat*
Yeah, it reminded me of a little. But there is one really big difference - Touya isn't the one making the moves with the sole intent of sleeping with the girls.

This show is in a league of its own, it can't compete with School Days.
No, White Album shouldnt be compared to trash animes like School Days. It is in the same league with Rumbling Hearts, only white albums male lead is more trash-ish. :-(

I don't know how I feel about it since I've never felt like I had a full picture of the show. I gave last season a 5, and so far have this season at a 6 (I think). This show has direction and characters over Rumbling Hearts which just had stereotypes and moe. Both do share contrived drama, but White Album's is far less telegraphed.

Things I took note of:
-Yayoi pointing out that because Touya is so weak (not confronting anyone and being inconsiderate), he will continue to sleep with her.
-the picture
-Yuki and Touya's dad's conversation. What is it the two of them know that Touya doesn't. I first thought it was some affair between the two of them, but I don't think that's true. It could be a reason why Yuki seems so ambivalent/doesn't care about Touya's behavior.
-Yuki and Yayoi in the car: The lies are hard to cover up now


I actually think Yuki and Touya's dad's convo was about them both knowing that he sleeps around. His dad asks "what will you do if he leaves you" and she responds "I'll fall in love with him all over again". I mean it could be something else like Yuki being Touya's secret step sister and Touya only knows that his dad was sleeping around but doesn't know he ever had another kid. That would explain why Touya resents his dad so much. Even so I still think they where just talking about Touya sleeping around.


-She's in the car talking to the other guy about how if Eiji ever just wanted to give back the painting, they (the company) would be sunk


The dialog is actually this (assuming the translation is correct) "What do we do if he tries to return it? We'll have to cry and beg on our knees". Never the less your view on what's going on seems logical. It would make sense that the old women is trying to extort Eiji but even if that's the case he seems to already know everything that's going on including who's really writing the songs for the new girl. It would be funny if by the end of this series Eiji ends up ruling over everything with.


What I find intresting is what Yayoi said to Touya on the roof. It almost sounded like she wanted Touya to tell Yuki that he was leaving to support Rina. I'm not sure why she would want him to say that though. It would only cause Yuki to brake down...

One thing to note about this episode, Touya was more honest to Yuki in this episode that he's been in most of the series. He basically did everything he said he was going to do except for the part about Rina.

@noteDhero - School Days was a once in a life time thing. You wont see it happen here :).

PS. If you haven't seen school days you might want to hold off. After seeing it, it tends to distort your opinion on romance series like this one. As you can see from the people above saying how this feels like it's going "school days" lol.

Oh? How so? Besides the shitty affair that the heroine had, I think everything is logically played out in that piece of wonder....8-)

At least, it was far more realistic than the romance crap we got these days that are so full of moe shit gals like Maria Osawa or Yuck-y....In fact, I RAGE'd and not giving a damn when they decided to make a f**king alternative OVA about the other way with that other typical female lead gal ;p

This could be the case for many other people but for me the words "School Days" and "Nice Boat" are just a phrase nothing more than that.

School Days traumatized me. It will forever leave a sour taste in my mouth. After watching it I actually lost my appetite. The impact it had can be testament to how great it was but I still don't like it. The only way I'd recommend it is if I wanted to prank the person.

But the comparison to School Days was inevitable here, especially with Touya making his way around. But the big difference is he only had sex with Yayoi and he isn't looking for it or anything, it finds him (not that he avoids or anything, lol).

Touya is surely having fun isn't? That fucker is toying with everybody now without even knowing it, I don't even know why the shit he went to see Rina, making everything worst for Yuki, hes even lying to her.

Nice ending. Touya finally made a good move, but unfortunately for Rina, he's still a total dork and I have a feeling his character won't change until the end.

However, the animation of this episode was the weakest of the whole series, I wonder where it was subcontracted this time.

Yeah, it really was crummy. They could have at least upped it when Touya & Rina kissed. That whole scene could have better, but it was still awesome. Been waiting for since the beginning when she asked for his phone number.

That part that looks like a painting of Touya kissing Rina was good. Also the one of Yuki at the end was nice too I find. The rest I guess I wll agree with you Jacut based on your anime knowledge.

In spoiler my anime list for now.
