| It frustrates me how positive Sawako still thinks about Kurumi, i still hate her i thought Yano-chan's plan would've been a bit more interesting though T^T But i still love her :D And i LOVE the misunderstanding about Kurumi's feelings for Pin XD |
 |
| Hmm, think I'm gonna have to drop this show after this episode. Was pretty decent so far but this episode really pissed me off. That Sawako girl really needs to stop being such an idiot. |
| best part of this episode was the talk between sawako and kurumi at the end...sawakos innocence/stupidity or whatever u want to call it is getting annoying |
| Pin is such a riot! Sawako should really think more but still love her... Kurumi should have also used her brain. Well karma is a bitch. Now she has to deal with the Pin rumors hahahah xD 4/5 |
 |
| good god Sawako is so apologetic all the time .........it pisses me off and Kurumi still feels she is entitled to something LOL. |
| I get why she feels that way I know what it feels like to be used and then discarded bc I became useless to them i do know what it feels like so I guess in that sense I do feel bad for her When everyone was feeling sorry for her with the Pin scene n everything I was like even with all this I dont feel sorry for her u reap what u so n i felt like I didnt care what happened until i finished the sentence n i was like well hell I do feel sorry for her but only when it comes to that though because I still think she is a bitch no matter what is said however I did think that same way of I think her name was Aiko-chan from Sukitte Ii na yo but my impression of her chanced in that so i guess it could happen but it is going to take alot to do that. |

| Chizu scores a nice free kick, Ronaldo style. Sawako has begun to kind of disappoint me a bit, but I do like her innocence. As for Kurumi, I feel bad for her now. |
 |
| People who hate Sawako's naivety, I wonder if you guys even understand her character at all. I mean this is the girl who hasn't had friends for most of her life. Chizu and Ayane are literally her first close friends. Then there's this girl Kurumi whom she trusted and adored so much that even when she revealed her real characteristic, Sawako still likes her. You can't seriously expect her to instantly hate Kurumi? all these revelations about Kurumi spreading the rumors and tricking her is waaaay too much information for the innocent Sawako to process. She's even more naive than Chizu. She doesn't understand all these tricking or that her role model, the very first friend who revealed her secret to her, could mean any harm. In Sawako's eyes, whatever Kurumi did must have a reason behind them. She's hurt of course, but her believe that they're friends (which has been embedded for a long time) easily pushed away any possible anger that she had for Kurumi. In the first place, it's not like Sawako's even capable of hating.. not even to those bitches who insulted Chizuru and Ayane in the toilet. I don't really hate Kurumi. What she did was despicable but it was true to her nature. On the other hand she's still sincere with Sawako and Sawako's probably the only one she can truly show her real self to. Despite her believe of superiority towards Sawako, deep down she's also insecure. She envies that Sawako can get close to Kazehaya without trying too much and she envies that Sawako has a nice name unlike hers. I mean seriously, not even Chizuru and Ayane refers to Sawako by her real name. If they had met on different situation, I believe Kurumi and Sawako can become the best of friends. |
 |
| I don't sympatize with Kurumi. What she did was horrible, regardless how much she likes him. If she liked him, she should just have told him and if he rejected her, try to change his feeling. What a whiny bitch. I guess next episode she will tell him her feeling to clear that misunderstanding with Pin and try getting at the ''rival'' level. |

| Sawako is doing everything right imo. One cannot simply hate Kurumi for doing that, since she did that for love. :) I would love the two of them to become friends after all. |
 |
| awww Sawako :3 You sweet little thing :3 |
 |
| I still don't feel bad for Kurumi. She's still a cunt. But I do understand not telling Kazehaya - it's something you should just let people see for themselves. |
| Damn. This episode made me feel some sympathy for Kurumi (especially with regards to the Pin misunderstanding). She's still a bitch though. However, it made me love Sawako even more (although I still don't understand what goes through her head at times). |

| Poor Kurumi, and the other girls badmouthing her from behind... |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Sawako's kindness and innocence. If I were her, I'll tell Kazehaya right away about Kurumi's wrongdoing. But I'm not that kind (I'm nice, but of course I want to give a lesson to someone who's bullying me). Yoshida and Yano are awesome friends, I wish I can have friends like them. Some girls heard Pin's false statement about him rejecting Kurumi's love for him. I have a feeling that rumors will start spreading about Kurumi, and then she will get bullied. |
 |
| That... was unexpected. The ending has made be tear up quite a bit. It isn't a strong emotional feeling, and I don't know if I can pin it down to something specific (unless I tried to blame it on the characters tearing up-- I'm aware of that tactic and I don't think that's what happened here), but it feels pretty good. It's like a soft, relaxing, happy sort of resonating inside. I can't remember the last time I've felt something like that. Shiina has created a beautiful character in Sawako. I'd like to know someone that pure and loving. I knew I was enjoying this a lot, but I didn't know I was this invested. Wow. |

| I feel bad for Kurumi. |
| So Kurumi fully confessed to the rumors that was spread about Sawako and her friends. Chizu and Ayane thought Sawako would go off on Kurumi once she heard the truth, but instead she started crying. Poor thing, she really thought her friendship with Kurumi was the real deal. And Kurumi says she doesn’t feel bad about it, or about using or manipulating people. She says everyone else would do the same to her at the drop of a hat. Ayane says since Kurumi doesn’t feel bad at all, she might as well tell Kazehaya all that she’s done. Kurumi tells her to go ahead. It seems as if she’s given up at this point.. Sawako quickly runs up to Chizu and Ayane and begs them not to tell Kazehaya. She could see how hurt Kurumi was and how she wasn’t showing her true feelings before. They agree if that’s what Sawako wants than they won’t do it. They also mention that the rumors weren’t the worst. After all, those rumors made the three of them wonderful friends. During the soccer match, all Sawako can think of is Kurumi. She never actually said anything to her when she was confronted. Sawako thinks about all the two of them have said and done together. She loved being around Kurumi and being her friend, weather it was real or fake. She appreciated Kurumi being so open and honest about her feelings. So she runs off to do the same. She wants to get all of her feelings out to Kurumi. Lol Pin is still fixated on Kurumi’s “love” For him. He won’t keep his mouth shut, so now lots of people think Kurumi’s in love with him. I still don’t really feel that sorry for her. Sawako finds Kurumi sitting in the same spot she left her at. She begins to tell her how she feels about Kazehaya, how she has romantic feelings for him, and how nervous it makes her, telling a friend about these feelings for the first time. Kurumi just can’t understand Sawako. She screams that their not friends, that she hates Sawako. Sawako doesn’t see it that way. She says she really likes how cute Kurumi looks, seeking out Kazehaya. With tears streaming down her face, Kurumi says none of it matters if Kazehaya won’t ever like her back. I won’t deny I got pretty teary eyed on this part and might possibly feel just a little bit sorry for Kurumi. She really does love Kazehaya. Looks like next time she might just tell him the truth. |
| Uhm... I know it's shoujo and "love" is always the main topic but God, Kurumi, it's just a boy, get over it! And now, rumors will be spread about her liking Pin... or at least, that's what I hope so, oh sweet karma. Anyways, it was an OK episode. I really liked the first part but the second one not that much. Sawako is so innocent she can't understand people can have two faces... I know being clueless is part of her character but being unable to understand that people might do dishonest things to get their way is becoming a bit annoying. I just hope she can change that way of thinking in the next episodes. And regarding the next episode, it seems Kurumi will FINALLY confess to Kazehaya... way too late in my opinion but well, at least the rejection will help her to close this chapter of her life and move on. |
| I hate Kurumi so much lol, Sawako is way too innocent imo. |
 |
| this whole kurumi thing is dragging out longer than it needs to be, sorry but i really didn't care for this episode. it's not like they are going to end up as best friends anyway. i like that it shows that you can be friends with someone in the most warped/dramatic situations & it's not always black-and-white, and it shows how patient & kind sawako is....but wow it's too much it's almost boring. the dialogue is pretty repetitive, they probably repeated what they already said before. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| I understand Kurumi but she's still a jerk. Just confess your love to Kazehaya instead of hurting others. |

| Kurumi’s trying too hard. She’s trying to become the ideal girl she thinks Kazehaya is interested in, but it’s not going to work , whether or not Sawako is in the picture. |

Cenedess said: BokuSatchii said: This. With each episode, I've been discovering more and more that the biggest draw of this anime for me is the strong supporting cast, whereas Kazehaya and especially Sawako have just begun to grate on my nerves. Kurumi has proved to be the most interesting character by far; I've really liked the way she's written. This, except that it's not Kurumi that I like the best (all hail Ryuu, for he is awesome). Sawako makes me roll my eyes too much xP Kazehaya isn't half bad, he's really cute and not as naive as Sawako...Chizu is my 2nd favourite. AND PIN. Pin, dammit, he cracked me up again today xD I agree with most of this, the side characters give this show its life and charm. Kazehaya has the potential to be a really interesting character depending on how they develop him, but thus far he's been a bit of a typical adorable male love interest. Sawako on the other hand is just an angel with selective emotional intelligence. She can tell Kurumi doesn't truly hate her despite repeatedly being told that she does, sh eimmediately knows when something is wrong with Ayane and Chizu, yet she somehow can't comprehend that Kazehaya fancies her. I've seen it said that Kazehaya should be more forward, but to be honest Kazehaya is being as direct as he realistically can without coming off as a slightly desperate creep like Sawako does! I think the reason this episode felt a bit forced was that Sawako actually acted with too much confidence and self-esteem when Kurumi blatantly rejected her multiple times. If her sense of self was as fragile as her interactions with Ayane, Chizu, Ryu and Kazehaya have shown us then Kurumi's two-faced nastiness could well have truly devastated her, maybe even led to lasting trust/commitment issues IRL. Rumours in high school don't go away just like that because you've got friends who deny it. What Kurumi did could have genuinely ruined Sawako's life if Ayane and Chizu weren't there to back her up. Hopefully what goes around comes around and Kurumi will find her social standing dropped significantly. Unfortunately I do not hold out much hope. Remember this is the first time anyone has betrayed her. When she was a loner with the exception of the odd bit of mockery from her classmates but at least she knew where she stood with them. |

| Old is Gold "Look, look, we can do spinning shots without wasting our entire budget" "Did you see? Look, it's all smooth and everything !" "You're not looking, please, it's SO AWESOME LOOK AT HOW SPINNY IT IS!!!!" - All anime animators since the invention of CGI. |
| So all truths are out. Sawako is a little too innocent and naive this episode. Ume right now is a grade-a bitch, she might get better, but right now she's a two faced unrepentant liar. She can clearly see where his love lies, but wants to force hers and doesn't care about what he wants. Looks like she might get a taste of her own medicine when it comes to false rumours thanks to Pin kakaka |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| Style Sawako to resolve a misunderstanding!!! kekeke |
| Well, I am already expecting something like this to happen given how nice Sawako is but Kurumi still doesn't deserve that kindness after all she've done. Anyway, I hope Pin continue to spread that misunderstanding. That give me lots of laughs lol. |

| I get what this episode was trying to do, but no... Like, such a thing would work for Sakura, from Card Captor Sakura, because she truly was oblivious to everything. Though with Sawako, she's obviously emotionally intelligent enough to realize Kurumi's true feelings, but she's blind to Kazehaya's feelings? The math ain't mathing... I mean, it's not enough to get me to drop this anime. Though after season 2, I likely won't be interested in the manga, unless some things change. |
| I dig Sawako's emotional intelligence. She's too kind to have any hate towards Kurumi because she could perceive that even when Kurumi confessed that she hates her and tried to manipulate the scenes to get Kazehaya, Sawako could tell that there was something else - even amidst the reveal, she wasn't being sincere. Instead, Sawako thought that she really was the only person that knew Kurumi liked Kazehaya, so Sawako went to share her feelings towards Kazehaya just to make them even. Another beautiful trait about Sawako is that she confessed how much she respected Kurumi for all the qualities she doesn't have. That is actually a very nice thing to say to a person that broke your heart with betrayal, even if Sawako didn't decide to not be her friend again - the message works both for amending mistakes or for saying farewells to a friendship. Gotta protect that girl's heart. Sawako Kuronuma is such a pure friend that I wish people were more like her. |
