| For me, Hatori's story is one that really breaks my heart in particular. I've wanted to cry for him the way Mayu did because he deserves to be happy and it's so sad that he thinks he doesn't. I think Mayu would be a better match for him than Kana because Mayu is a stronger woman who could face up to Akito for Hatori the way Tohru has for her boys. I continue to find Shigure a complete mystery who I just can't pin down. Sometimes he seems selfish and cold, calculating and manipulating in order to get what he wants but then he does something else and he appears so considerate and kind-hearted. |
 |
| That old woman at the Sohma estate should die already. |
| wow focus on other characters this series has been something |
 |
| It was a great episode! I liked seeing more of Hatori's past By the way, a detail that I found very curious, at 10:57, just behind and to the left of Mayu, you can see the portrait of Carlos I of Spain and V of Germany, an important king of Spanish history. I leave the photos for you to see, they are the same!   |
 |
| Interesting episode. Kind of felt like a side story building on a mini arc from the first season. Unexpected but welcome. |
| AHHHH...Mayuko. How fun was it be when she showed up in the manga, and absolutely on Shigure's trolling path. Her past with Hatori, an unrequited love when Kana was in a relationship with him, even though the two were best friends. But rather than trying to steal him away, the happiness she's embracing for the both of them instead and pairing with the latter instead. But alas as with the Soma curse, Kana is soon made aware of her shortcomings, and the despair written on her face is an eerie reminder despite having a facade of courage. The happiness that Mayu longed for...was broken in an instant. For Mayu though, the memories of that day linger very vividly in her mind...and happiness pursuant is an afterthought. Moreover, now as Akito's right-hand man, his feelings turned stone cold, as he depicts "happiness isn't for me" that the fear of the Soma family has taken over immensely. Despite that, Mayuko still continues her unrequited confession, and just like Tohru, wants full freedom for Hatori to achieve his happiness. As manipulative as Shigure is as always, he's IMO the key to clicking everything together in one piece. Playing the role of both good and bad, he's one fascinating character for sure. Otherwise, another great episode. |
 |
| This might’ve been the best episode so far. Season 2 of Fruits Basket 2019 has kinda been a flop but this episode was nice |
| It's a meh episode for me. I liked the delivery and animation. However, I'm not a fan of Mayu-sensei or her story, to be honest. To me, she's just like an older tomboyish version of Arisa. I don't see anything special in her as an individual character, she's only interesting because she's the teacher of Tohru's class and because of her crush on Hatori. To be honest, the scene of her crying was kind of annoying. I might start to like her later on if I get to know her more but she's like a wallflower at this point. |
| ่ญใ- |
| Not that I'm against Mayuko, but I still feel sorry for Hatori and Kana's failed relationship! Only because of this contemptible Akito!๐ก As time went by, Hatori looked forlorn while Kana had already forgotten about their feelings in the past; and found someone else.๐ญ๐ญ I hope this time Mayuko will be able to mend Hatori's broken heart. And that he will eventually, reciprocate her feelings. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| Great ep as always on this series I guess Mayu is fine with Hatori but i still really ship Hatori and Kana because it looks like he found his genuine happiness with her, it is just sad Kana is married now so its impossible for them to be together which sucks. So Mayu will come in the scene where shes the one who can make Hatori happy again. |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| The latest episodes are exceptional, the level is raised a lot, I hope that this trend continues. I am happy that Hatori finds happiness again, it's clear that he is still sad for Kana, but he has found a person who loves him in the same way or even more. |
| I love Hatori so I am happy this was episode about him. Mayu is pretty cool so far, want to see how her and Hatori. |
| bruh this is too good we don't deserve this. |
| Consideration, guilt, loneliness, emptiness, I liked the depiction of what Hatori and Mayu went through. Would nice to see both of them sharing happiness in the future. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| another beautiful WONDERFUL episode!!! damn i wanna Hattori & Mayuko hook-up!!! let this happen! Let there be happiness for them!!! 5/5! |
 |
| Shigure always swings from evil to amazing every time he appears xD |
 |
| Ahh more screentime for Mayu and her backstory. What a cynical bastard Shigure is but I love it xD. We get more screentime for Hatori as well. |
 |
| Shigure's reaction when Mayu hung up took me out. Om a sidenote, even though ShigurexMayu was a platonic relationship, I've always wondered if he had a little more than platonic feelings for Mayuu. like a dog, always loyal to his true master LOLOL...I'm going to hell |
| This anime was losing me again.. and then this episode came up. Hatori's story has been my favorite story. The first season explanation made me cry my eyes out. And now I can see a little progression for him, and Mayu. Which I do not have any problem with at all. For me the best episode so far. |
 check out my twitch: https://twitch.tv/slowy |
| Hattori is still one of my favorites in this show, can't wait till the day I see them all happy. Mayu still having a chance is a bless for her, and all thanks to Shigure in the sadistic way. |
| Hatori deserves happiness in his life and i hope Mayu can bring it. Lovely ep |
| Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, Mayu! I totally understand how you feel! Hatori is such a BABE *heart eyes* He's just emitting the sexiness aura 24/7 ^-^ hehehe |
| Hatori and Kureno, I wish for their happiness.. they're so serious and calculated. It makes me sad :( |
 |
| It always breaks my heart to see Hatori's past...the surprise is to know that Mayu is in love with him. |
 |
| Shigure is always around because he is dog? just kidding xD the drama feels a bit forced, but I still ship Hatori x Mayu. |
| Jesus christ why the fuck do the characters in this series shout whenever they find that their loved one is sad? I know you don't want to see your loved one suffer but like chill the fuck out m8 everybody has an emotion called sadness. There is no such thing as prefect happiness. |
 |
| Oh, this was one of the best episodes of the season. Hatori is just such an endearing character! <3 |
   |
| Honestly some of the best writing I've seen this season. This show has a talent for making me care about characters I have zero investment in. And this seems like the most benign scheme Shigure has had in a bit. |
 |
| wow this episode was incredibly well-written. loved it โกโก didnt know mayu sensei had such a big role & connection to them. and wow dating shigure & not even embracing/kissing how did she even...... lol could really relate to what she said about dating & loneliness. dating just for the sake of it/being with the wrong guy will just make you more lonely. shigure looooool he’s that fine line between downright despicable & hilarious. easily a 10/10 character |
 ๊ค but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ๊ค |
| It was a beautiful episode but I still don't understand how they didn't erase Mayu's memory or I expected a better reason of why she never asked why Hatori and Kana broke up in the first place. I was hyped about this episode but I found it weak in writing and credibility but well, nothing serious happens. |

Why would she ask why they broke up when she knows it is because of Hatori's eye injury and Kana's guilt over that? I thought this episode made it clear that Mayu knew the gist of what happened, saw how badly it traumatized Kana, and didn't see a want or need to know any more than that. Maybe its me, never been a fan of 'deleting your memories' plot cuz its kinda complicated when more people know and they never erased their memory. |

| Damnit. I didn't expect that Mayu has feelings for Hatori. Man, she cried for him. They both deserve each other. |

| Eh, didn't pay much attention this episode. |
 |
| Shigure just popped up once again and told me why he's my favorite character. |
 |
| Lol your going overboard your a adult now. twas funny asf when he said that. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| WOAA episode focusing on the teacher ?? i knew she'd be more important than just a "teacher" but damn that was a lot more. she likes hatori, dated shigure, and will probably even more important some time later. that scene with her crying her heart out was great too |
| I did enjoy the last episode a lot, but this one finally focused on Hatori and what a banger it was. Finally, and it has been a while since S1, so I needed to refresh on some stuff, but really strong episode. With this, I hope Hatori is on the right track to be happy. |
 |
| Mayu's cry felt forced because it was surprisingly loud, but it's also probably because I didn't understand her (I still don't tho) despite having her pov the entire episode. |
| So Lemme get this straight, Mayu gets with her friend’s ex after she gets her memories wiped?? That’s so scummy. Damn near threw up |
 |
phantomfandom said: You can't create a strong female character and make her cry in public, in front of her crush, especially when the cause is just the lack of happiness of male character. She didn't cry when her BFF got mindcrushed and got memory suppression. This. She's always been calm, cool and collected, and that's why I loved her. This bawling loudmouth, acting more hormonal than Tohru herself, is just...no. I'm going to pretend it never happened. This is not at ALL to say she can't cry - freaking hell people don't twist words. But writing a story and characters depicts lines that need to be followed, otherwise there will be no semblance of character OR development. As a story writer, it was just...random. Because other than that, these two really suit each other! Hatori is one of the best bois of the show, and ya, the chemistry is strong people. |

| Damn that Shigure, he loves to stir things up. He do be playing with everyone and their feelings. I really can't tell if I should hate him or love him. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| If Hatori and Mayu ends up together it would be soo unfair to Kana chan. I mean like why didnt she get to be with Hatori? Even if she found her happy ending, but we all know its not true. Her memories with hatori were erased.. makes me soo sad:( |
