----------------------------------------
they're handling the love triangles in this a heck of a lot better i was expecting, most of the time you just want kill at least 2 of the people involved. at least with this series no one is technically cheating on anyone else, and people are being mostly honest about things.

also liked the fact that takeichi didn't spend a half dozen episodes trying to shove the two of them back together like i've seen characters in his situation do in far too many shows, tho i was half expecting him to send that email for yano.

I agree. It's not like typical shoujo series where they spend have the series getting the main two people together and the friends are all supportive. It's much more realistic. I love the look on Yano's face as Takeuchi ran off! This is getting so interesting!

Grr! This is so hard I don't know who to root for. I'm still kind of pist at Yano for saying he loves his dead ex to his living girlfriend, but still he's being sweet. And then Takeuchi is really sweet, I just don't know how much Nana would like hanging around his drag queen sister lol.

If this was real life I'd slap them. One place you never go is to a friend's ex, no matter how much you like them. Unless you're willing to never be friends with them again.

Starting to get annoyed with the half-assed animating. There were too many times where even the main characters didn't have eyes when there was no reason for them not to....I can understand all the minor characters (I'm actually glad to see a screen full of people where I've seen many shows leave the background empty making the show feel lifeless) though...

there are tons of animes where they do that for example another good anime called Kimi Ni Todoke which is ranked high on myanimelist also uses the same kind of art style and also alot of animes have those Chibi faces at certain parts to add humour or a feel of emotion...

Nice Takeuchi lol i feel sorry for Yano cause the door closed right at his face...if that happened to me i would be like..........#@!&%!!!!!!! xD

I don't hate Yano, but when Takeuchi took off after Takahashi I couldn't help but think, "Ha! Serves you right, you bastard!" I realize Yano's going through his own problems right now, and he does feel bad about what happened with Takahashi, but that still doesn't change anything. There have been a lot of times in this show where he's had to come back to her and apologize, and she's always forgiven him because she just can't say no to that smile he gives her. I'm hoping he'll finally realize he has to get over his dead ex and move on with his life after this, and also that he'll realize just how important Takahashi really was/is to him.

For now, though... I am cheering for Takeuchi simply because he hasn't done anything to make me dislike him (yet).

Random note: I'm only on episode 13, yet it feels like I'm on episode 20-something. XD

So guys! The Love triangle is beginning. Yeah...(sigh) They broke up and Takeuchi was such a good guy he always support Takahashi I like that. Is she now starting to like Takeuchi? It could be. Yano sure will regret.

Hell yes! Takeuchi is like my favorite character in this series so far. Hope they don't eff this up and make me hate him. That is just too cruel. Even though Nanami and Yano will probably end up being together, to me Takeuchi will forever be superior to Yano .

Serves you well, Yano. Takeuchi’s 100x times better than you, bastard.

Me too. I feel like he is the type to treat someone with kindness and actually listen to problems. Unlike Yano who seems too absorbed in the past and usually smiles whenever he says something mean..

Oh. But I still feel like that's a low blow. Takeuchi seems to have feelings for Yano's girls (both of the Nanas - hopefully not Yuri). I think that's kind of pathetic at the same time. Really. You can't go out and find your own girlfriend instead of trying to get someone else's? Seems strange to me.

Takeuchi is an asshole. At least he should have waited a little more than one week to make a move on his best friend's ex.

again Enma Ai's bells Takeuchi or Yano must have entered hell link XD

well with all respect for Takeuchi i think he should have waited a bit longer for sure after he read that half text message he shouldn't make his move so fast out of respect for his friend for sure because he knows his past then again if you really love someone maybe he is right just go for it in the end he probably give up and will let it look like he did it to make Yano make his move faster or something like that.

That bit with Yano breaking into Takeuchi's room and harassing him was hilarious, their interactions are always amusing. But man, I didn't know Takeuchi had feelings for the old Nana. And what's more, his move at the end was really shocking since I thought he'd let it build up a bit more before making a move on Nanami. I guess he doesn't want to experience being off on his timing again.

I'm really conflicted on who to root for since honestly Takeuchi seems like a genuinely great guy but at the same time Yano and Nanami has been so perfect so far.

I think that was to illustrate that Takeuchi has always felt like he's second fiddle to Yano. He's liked the girls that Yano liked too, but never had a chance with any of them because Yano is the most popular guy in school and obviously gets the girl (plus Takeuchi would never risk hurting a friend).

I think the conclusion we're supposed to draw is that Takeuchi is sick of losing the girls he likes to Yano and finally decided to do something about it. That's how I read it anyway. Takeuchi wouldn't normally do anything that might cause harm to others, but he's willing to overlook his principles because of how fed up he is with Yano.

But I still hate Yano....he's just being a bitch ass.

Takeuchi is much better for Nana, but I still kind of feel bad for Yano a little. Just a little though. His best friend is going after the girl he still loves. If Yano and Nana get back together, he better treat her right =(

This is difficult.
Both Yano and Takeuchi are pretty good characters. I hope there's not some hidden flaws with Takeuchi since he seems like a more stable person than Yano at the moment. Less extreme.
I'm most upset towards Nanami at the moment.
