Very nice eipsode, IMO. I thought it was pretty heartwarming and the ending at least had a gentle atmosphere (the setting helped, probably).

I'm interested to see how things turn out with the whole debt-collection/debt sharks ordeal... Will Kobato be able to "heal" Sayaka? (Does Sayaka need it...?)

This episode is definitely one of the best episodes for me. That story of fireflies really touched my heart. Regret always comes last. If Mori went with Naoko in the past, she could have avoided that accident. Man, if that was me I would have went with her.

That part when the bully guys came into the nursery and caused disruption was also cool. I didn't expect Fujimoto to know martial arts, lol. Kobato was also darn epic when she stood there and tried to protect Sayaka. I thought Kobato was going to summon a gun from her chest or something, lol. I wonder what Sayaka owes them.

Hurray for Kobato since she got 3 Konpeitos now. Too bad she only got an 80 from Ioryougi since she put tons of books on top of him, lmfao.

Well, the whole debt drama was put on the back burner again, but Mori's story was unexpectedly poignant. I really liked this episode.

I'm enjoying this while having lunch.
Hotaru sure is sugoi. Hope I can see the real things.
There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list

I really liked this episode, it was pretty emotional. It's kind of rare for me to be touched by a character that I don't even know yet, but this show manages to pull it off.
I'm looking forward to more.

5/5

The protagonist keeps a character a bit dumb, but little by little the plot is bringing its characterization to grow and make a person ages.
Narration is very diverse, touching in the end thanks to the OST.
Drawing not bad, could improve, but we always talk about a TV series.
Let's see if the next episode will soar and you will maintain a calm and level without dips to the heart.

So did Naoko die or she just went blind?

greenmush said:
Naoko looks like a Code Geass character lol

Not really surprising since CLAMP, the creators of Kobato, were the character designers for Code geass.

The moral of the story is treasure your loved one and don't let go of him/her because you never know what might happen to them. I felt bad for Mori, he didn't go see the fireflies with Naoko, but then when he tells her he'd be waiting for her at some place, she gets in an accident. For Mori, the loss of his life must have been tough.

But the fireflies scene was beautiful. 80 pts Kobato, you earned them.

As for the bullies, kudos to Kobato. She protected the kids and the teacher despite being scared seeing as how she was shaking afterwards.

Lingering promises huh!

Truly an emotional episode, I'm glad Mori finally saw the fireflies, his wife Would've be glad even if it wasn't physically with her. I see he has also started writing again, which means he's healed. Another healed soul for Kobato.

damn I went into this expecting very a light hearted show, but after 5 episodes it has come to my attention this show has more dark moments than I anticipated; either way I’m enjoying this so far though
