Another mediocre episode, but this time Fujioka was the highlight of the episode. Twice.

Wow this "story" is also getting to end...

Hosaka creeps me out with his smile, he's just like a stalker lol. About Fuyuki, I didn't like him at start. But when he leaves, I felt some kind of sorrow, maybe I've grew accustomed to him? Fujioka is more interesting than Hosaka in this episode, I don't believe that he actually jealous of Fuyuki. Well, Haruka will not go to student exchange program. Maybe Hosaka will stop her from going? I hope so but well, it's impossible after all.

Hosaka and his meniacle laugh after hearing about the family sporting was a win!

Hope the last ep is better than what we've seen on average in this series

I laughed so hard at Hosoka's laugh, something about it really got to me and the way Kana changed the page with her chin was loltastic as well (one of the only funny things she has done in this series). Other than that it was pretty average, Fuyuki annoyed the hell out of me though, I'm glad he left he was boring as the rest of the little kids (excluding Chiaki). I guess the Minami brothers were just left out of this series, its too late to hope for them now. Also, plot in a slice of life series, blasphemy.

I want an OVA or two about Haruka in America (or wherever) and that old guy (their cousin....forget his name) trying to take her place. Well, I'd only want it if it were to be in the first season style.

Pretty below average as far as humor goes this episode, but we got some character development on Chiaki's part... that kind of thing has been rare in okawari.

Hosaka and Fujioka are made of win as always. Those two and Mako(to/-chan) constitute 80-90% of the ROFL moments for me in this series. They all SEVERELY need more screen time.

Why would a kid's family move in the middle of a sport's day? Talk about cheap writing, sorry but you cant pull my heart strings with that shit.

There were a few moments here and there that were ok, like Fujioka being picked as 'dad', Kana moving pages with her chin, and Hosaka obviously.

fujioka was awesome in this episode. His face when he questioned fuyuki made me laugh, and the fact that chiaki chose him for "otousan" was hysterical.

I had to smile at the pasta-cooking hosaka too, for nostalgia's sake haha. Oh, and i did like kana flipping the page with her chin.

I'm glad fuyuki is gone :)

Kids moving in the middle of sport-day is that strange?
I bet you're Hikiikomori who know no life at all.

I don't really know what to call it? but "sudden departure" might not be common but it's not impossible parting from someone unprepared.And if you take a good look at Chiaki at the end you'll really know how she feel..it's not sadness the clostest word of this situation is bittersweet and this is what people feel a lot if they're really live their life.

I'm sorry but something here really piss me off...not to offend...;)

THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE FOUND IN THIS SERIE!

I finally understood why Fuyuki had that sort of personality.. He wanted to make an impact on those he met by being as helpful as he possibly could because he probably knew he would have to transfer somewhere else soon enough (again probably) and everyone would forget about him..
Im sure he wanted to become friends with all of them, but he knew he'd just end up hurting himself when he had to leave..

Why wouldn't they move in a sports day?

This episode is so far my favorite this season.

I felt sad for Fuyuki-kun. But I'm also kind of glad he is gone. He was depressing.

I hope that Haruka is not the one going to America. As mentioned before, I also think that it might be someone from the other family. I don't think that Haruka would leave Chiaki and Kana.

Fuyuki felt so unnecessary, and I read somewhere that he is an anime original character (maybe it was on MAL). Why did they feel the need to add him...

I'm glad that Fuyuki is gone, he always made me feel pissed off because of him being such a retard.
I don't think Haruka will leave, and I also think that this seriousness doesn't fit the series at all.
Hosaka was enjoyable to watch but I didn't laugh this time, same with the previous episode.
This brings the counter to two.
Next episode will be the last one, I wonder if the second season will go out with a bang.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Was a bit better episode, but why did Fujioka moved again and so fast? Oh well it's not that he was that good within the story anyway, lets see what's next in the last episode of this second season!

Lol there should really be an episode dedicated to Hosaka, he's a ginius xD

Lets see what the transfer student plan will go like!

Aww, why no one like Fuyuki? I guess I really liked him because I can relate to his situation, so I understand why his personality and characteristics are like that. Growing up with a single parent and being the only child; feeling lonely all the time especially if you're moving around and not being able to develop deep friendships. It's hard to make friends when you move and people don't really notice you. So, I guess that's why I was a bit sad when he had to leave.

Same here. I'm glad he left. That guy was depressing.

On the other hand, Fujioka and Hosaka deserve more screentime. They're awesome.

Everytime Fujioka and the uncle ask about what are other people relationships with Minami family girls.. I just laughed xD

I guess Fuyuki just left them without saying goodbye
Chiaki must be sad because no one told her
How dare he made Chiaki sad! >:(

Haruka will leave her sisters?
Nahhh probably some misunderstanding
Like there are a lot of people have Minami as their family name.. It's not just Haruka :P
