----------------------------------------
Nothing much happened in this episode. It was still ok to watch though. It's a good break from all the drama/romantic stuff hahaha. Just a simple slice-of-life sort of thing. Anyway, it's nice to see Futami and Kazuki together. Sakino sorta pisses me off, she's done absolutely nothing to make a move on Kazuki. Kouichi also pisses me off. He goes and helps out Mao pack when Yumi was also <_<

The preview for the next episode looks very interesting. Looks like some melancholy events will be happening.

It was an ok episode. I liked the further development of Futami and Aihara. It seems as though Kouichi will dump Yuumi and go for Mao now. >_> I don't want to see that happening.

First episode in how long that didn't leave off in a cliffhangar? Unless of course, last ep wasn't a cliffie and I just totally forgot D:

I don't know but that last part with Yuumi looking at the photograph...looks like she came to a decision...=/ So long as she stays with Kouichi I'll be happy. I think she fits better with him that Mao does.

I really liked how they showed that flashback of Mao showing up for the first time because to be honest, I'd forgotten how it happened and how drama-free and carefree everything had used to be XD

That was my thought as well - I can't wait to see how the last few episodes will play out.

No one can fault Mao - she said everything she should have said to Yuumi. But it's gotta be hard on Yuumi seeing Kouichi mope around. I wonder if he even knows what he's thinking though. It has to suck. On one hand, his girlfriend's moving away, and he's upset about that. But then his childhood friend tells him she likes him, and then is moving away as well... It'd be hard enough without everyone moving everywhere xD

Sakino just realized a little while ago that she liked him. Not only that, she's never been interested in anything but soccer before. This is probably her first time liking anyone. It's no surprise she hasn't "made a move" per se. As for Kouichi, he offered to help Yuumi pack, and she refused.

This was a good ep. Futami for the win!

It kind of looks like Yuumi will either brake up with Kouichi or he will brake up with her. It just seems like the logical choice and I think shes been thinking about it in her head ever since she figured out Kouichi liked Mao. You can see her trying to decide what she should do. Poor Kouichi is stuck at a road block, trying to figure out what he should do. I'm still rooting for Mao since Kouichi 's known her since childhood, shes gonna be living near him, and they can freely talk to each other without any awkwardness.

Futami x Aihara part was just cute ^.^ Seems like Futami has some emotional development... xD Kouichi... I guess Mao's chances are better for her than Yuumi, as Mao will still be near his neighbourhood or something. Poor Yuumi. Even if she declined to let Kouichi help, at least Kouichi just should have come, even if she wanted it or not. I guess she only declined, because Mao's moving too and she's a childhood friend. Oh well. Once again, poor Yumi. Hiiragi is just funny xD

too many people watch anime with the main lead ends with the person they known the longest isn't that boring and lame? yumi declined Kouichi to help her pack up because she can't stand seeing his indecisive face. She probably testing kouichi to see if she declines him what will his reaction be. And now she sees it that he is an idiot that has his eyes set on Mao only. The break up is coming soon and he is not even going to be sad about it. everything else is fine Futami x Aihara is good. looks like Sakino might confess or might not. =/

Nah, this episode is just too boring for me... incomparable to previous episodes. Why you ask? No surprising elements in the end of the episode of course! Well, Koiuchi should choose his Mao nee-chan, and let Yuumi go... Believe me, long distance relationship will never works... Yuumi is way too 'plain yogurt' (trademark by Minami Chiaki)... There's no way that I will support her lol. But, I didn't hate her though. Damn you Sakino, don't you dare to disturbs the relationship between Eriko and Kazuki! But if you show more fan services to us, maybe I will consider it.

I watched episode 21 last night. I liked how Kazuki and Futami walk together. Poor Sakino. She looks depressing after watching Kazuki and Futami. I doubt Sakino will confess to Kazuki because she's one wants Kazuki meets Futami near playground after all. I liked Mao's decision about move out, but Kouichi was indecisive. Tough choice. Mao or Yummi?

yes! all male characters in romance animes are idiots anyways, what would you expect? just let them be idiots because they are in their youth, as they say ignorance is bliss. in these kinds of animes, one person will be left hurt no matter what, so hey why not let the person who likes the protagonist happiness, cuz they have a right (they set their eyes on the guy first) and in the battle of love, any kind of foul play is acceptable in a way

LMAO. Spot the difference.

Good episode but, this series has been fairly awesome. I like how it sets you up for the next episode with a cliffhanger at the end of each episode. I like how there are intertwined feelings between each of the characters. Although the ending pairs were slightly obvious from the start, I'd love to be proved wrong and the journey leading up this point was not bad.

Futami on good terms with Kazuki, I really hope it works out this time! Yuumi just knows how Kouichi feels about Mao-chan and well that gets a bit sad as well as she's moving out now! But well lets see what happens next!

Asuka has to make the move! She is losing Kazuki at this rate...and I wouldn't want to see her disappointed and regret not making a move. I am worried for Kouichi with Yuumi at this rate, and I'd really hope for their relationship to continue, even with distance.

Mao and Sakino are just not assertive in going for what they want. And if they suffer it's their own fault. So I feel less bad for them now. You cannot go pushing your crush toward someone else then cry when they do it.

Due to the number of people and pairings, there will be some guaranteed heartbreak here in the end.

Futami was very likeable in this episode. Her character development has shown.

I still dont see the need to make Sakino a love interest for the soccer guy MC, specially now with only 3 episodes left. I guess every male MC needs to have at least 2 women after them each.

I mean, Sakino had to at least confess to him much sooner in the anime, so her character can have an impact.

I still barf at how Mao is all in love and dramatic over Kyoichi. What the heck does she see in him? That hes nice to her? HAHAHAHAHA, if life was only that easy for all guys.

I guess Kai is finally getting along with all his other classmates and not just with Mao. I guess he has finally moved on and has a better view of everyone around him.

I am so happy for Aihara. It looks like all his effort for Futami has paid off. Seeing her wait for him to walk with him to school and show more emotions than before is good to see. What a success, especially since Futami is hot! It sucks for Sakino, and regret is always in the end. Maybe she was hoping that making Futami & Aihara meet with each other would lead to closure, but it only furthered their relationship.

I can feel Kouichi's sadness due to Mao having to leave. That house is gonna feel so empty soon. But it still annoys me that he's taking Hoshino for granted. He needs to make up his mind. If it were up to me, I'll go Hoshino, she's waifu material.
