They're such a cute couple!!! I hope they'll get together, Chizu and Ryuu.
Who was on the phone at the end? Was it Touru or Kazehaya? '-'

Ooh, I really wonder what's gonna happen between Tohru and Chizu. This looks suuuper interesting. I didn't think he'd actually care about her that much. Cheering her up maybe? Hrmm. Gotta watch next ep. :O

Ryuu just needs to say what he wants to say and quick, this is causing a lot of sorrow for both of them.

Another great episode. I teared up when Chizu said "I wanted to hand him that gift with a smile on my face" T____T really hoping Chizu and Ryu resolve this soon.

True that he's taking it slow to confess, but I guess it's ok in this situation, I mean it would go to waste now, since she'll see Tohru in few days again.

Those episodes are way to short and too good as well... the need to watch every episode over right after finishing it.

I... I almost cried :(
But I was able to hold it :P

In the end, she cracked up. But it would have scared me if she wouldn't have.

Poor Ryu. I mean, I think that what he wanted to tell her is that he was relieved that she could now give up on his brother so she could start looking at him. But he's too much of a shy guy, words won't come out.

And she finally cried.
Although Ryu's actions are a mystery to me.
He goes to her, he does nothing, then he's happy (even if I know why, but still)...

Good thing Chizuru is back with her old-self at the last part.

I feel so bad for Ryu. It's like he's carrying all the weight of his problem. He's so stoic and calm throughout all this. That's why I adore him. Keep holding on, Ryu!

To me this feels a little late in the game. I would've like to have seen Chizu x Ryuu earlier on. A little slow, but not a terrible episode.

I can't bring myself to dislike how Ryu handled the situation since he was being so honest about it. He may not have much tact, but I don't think that was necessarily needed here.

At least Chizu finally let it out.

Chizu is still hurting over the Toru situation and can’t sleep. She finds herself running to Ryu’s house and finds him waiting for her at his door. She’s angry at him because she feels like he was pitying her for not telling her about his brother. He tells her he’s relieved because now she can forget about Toru. Chizu gets mad and throws her stuff at Ryu, running away. He sees one of the things she had was her gift to him.

Ayane and Sawako are still feeling hopeless because they don’t know how to comfort Chizuro. They let Kazehaya in on the whole situation and he thinks they should just keep doing as they are. That Chizu will be just fine, because she has friends like them.
That seemed to lift both of their moods.

The mood between Chizu and Ryu hasn’t lightened up any since they last saw each other. She’s completely avoiding him, though it’s pretty easy to see how much he wanted to talk to her. He eventually stops her in a hallway and they end up having a big argument over his brother. At least she’s finally getting her feelings out.


Chizu runs away again but Ayane and Sawako catch up to her. Lol poor Sawako can’t hold her tears in. In turn, it made Chizu cry too. In fact, she ended up finally shedding everything she’s felt up till now to them. They were so happy she finally confided in them. About Ryu, his brother, and everything else. As they’re walking home, Chizu mentions that it was Sawako’s tears that made her cry and bring her feelings out in the open. Now, she feels much happier. I just hope things get better between her and Ryu.

Well, Ryuu isn't exactly the best with words. Not to mention that he can be extremely honest but if that's the only way for him to make Chizu cry and so that, she can get over it... I guess it's fine.

Chizu also definitely needed to let it out of her system and it all ended up being such a great scene, I really loved how Chizu's outburst was handled. Props to her VA as well.

Ryu's honesty was scary! But I'm glad he gave utmost sincerity rather than just fake insincere pity.

ryuu taking one for the team

LOL

oh god at people who don't understand what kind of guy ryuu is. not everyone is vocal about their feelings or express themselves well. i actually think it's realistic & mature that he doesn't just straight up confess. who would still confess when you already know they treat you as a sibling/currently have no romantic feelings for you. she probably does deep down but from ryuu's perspective he thinks she doesn't. and he knows it's probably not the right time as she's feeling so upset about his brother.







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there

Chizuru needs to Say No to Comfort Eating!

It's always a joy to see Ryu telling it like it is.

Hopefully Chizu-chan will come to appreciate that in a relationship, a man like Ryu who never lets a false word pass his lips is worth a thousand flatterers with empty compliments and fake empathy.

Ryuu being brutally honest, Chizuru didn't really get what he really meant though.

“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.”

I like Ryuu but seriously dude? Why was he such a jerk this episode?

My heart broke for Chizuru when she went all out on him.
Now I think she deserves a better guy.
Both brothers having her heart broken is so unfair. 
She's a girl so go easy on her. She has feelings too, ugh!

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Quite the emotional one with Ryuu x Chizuru but also with Chizuru and her friends Sawako/Ayane. Liked how Ryuu grabbed Chizuru's arm=>
but Chizuru clearly blew up in this episode. Not only that but the most emotional was probably this part=>
apart from that I liked Kazehaya's wise word around this part=>
Other than that I clearly would have liked Ryuu to confess but clearly he is getting more hurt with Chizuru's words. Also my dear cried too much in this episode....she has clearly developed too much her emotions and this might a consequence of it. Why do I have the impression the art is a little bad in this one....I don't mind it but wondering what others think about that.

Sometimes you gotta be rough with someone that bottles everything up...I think that's what Ryu was aiming for here, break Chizu's bottle so she can't hold it in.
