It upsets me that Ryu seems like the thick one but it's Chizu that lacks an emotional barometer. How can she not tell that Ryu likes her? And why doesn't she realize that she loves him! These episodes are frustrating. -_- I hope they resolve this stalemate before the series ends.

Oh my, for some reason I found this episode hilarious, well it was also very touching but I just cracked up when Chizu was crying infront of Sawako and Yano and they were like smiling and laughing. I guess they were just too happy since Chizu finally opened her inner feelings to them.

Okay I got really pissed at Ryu mainly because I though he was going to say he loves Chizu when he grabbed her but nonono, instead he hurt her feelings more by saying she's not worthy enough for Tohru. I guess they're just trying to end this Ryu x Chizu with a bang.

Eehh I guess this will work too since it's lovely but I really want to see Sawako x Kazehaya episodes and there's like 4 more episodes left! How will they do this?! Aaaah.

I think Chizu and Ryuu's arc is great, but I'm missing the Sawako x Kazehaya bits. D':

The part where Chizu finally cried was, IMO, really well done. Seemed like something that could really evoke a response in the audience, at least to me. If I were Ryuu, I actually wouldn't know what to do. ._. I feel pretty bad for him, too...

I just couldn’t contain my tears when Chizu started crying, and couldn’t stop laughing at her gibberish talking and criticizing Ryuu and Ayane’s “backing” of her thoughts to make her feel better.

I loved it, even if I feel bad for Ryuu.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.
