What in the hell were the crunchy rice balls made out of


The moment You-kun ate Misa-chan's iron rice balls, you knew he would be Usui-kun's formidable rival xD

"You're totally his girlfriend... I don't really understand why you try to hide it."
Bless you Kanou-kun for saying what everyone's been thinking out loud and for being the only remotely logical character so far.

Holy crap the rice ball bit was essentially Special A episode 3 (or whatever # the rice ball ep. was).


Of course he's not a rival, not now or ever.
Mr. Pretty Perfect Blond Boy will never lose because if he did people wouldn't buy this manga.

The first half of this ep. was great. The second part, not so much. I almost rated this ep. a 3, but I remembered how awesome the first part was. I hope we don't spend much time on this crazy sniffer guy.
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

Love this ep. Much better than the previous one.

Somehow Misaki reminds me of Hikari from Special A with her rock-hard rice balls.


That was the same thing I thought like that was my first impression of the scene to

Well, that's quite a turn of events. I kind of saw it coming because, well, I had been spoiled, yeah...
But I think it's a good decision from the writters for one reason : he will probably serve as a pivot to make Usui and Misaki clearer about their feelings. With a rival in the way, I don't give him much time before he crack. From the ED and a lot of other moments, he looked like a very lonely kid. I think that he kind of have a trauma about being abandonned. He'll probably slowly lose a bit of Misaki attention and it will affect his usual self.

Those onigiris... They looked like those mudballs that kids polish and then they become hard as rock.

Kanou seem to be the only one who get it. Didn't expected him to turn like that too. He took the defense of those girls who declare to Usui.

Easily my favourite episode so far, FINALLY something is happening!

Shintani is so cute, instant love :3 Too bad he is obviously a filler character to push main couple forward in their relationship... Oh well, I'm going to enjoy it as long as I can.

"I really don't understand them. How can they feel so much for each other, yet never communicate it? Why do they tell lies, never seeking to move forward?" that's almost 4th wall breaking reasoning right there. The thoughts of viewers of 99% of anime romcoms.

If anyone is wondering why usui reacted and said what he said, when kanou suggested to him to date misaki..I will try to explain it..

kanou was suggesting usui to date misaki. usui anwser to that was: "it's a drag to even get serious about it"(in the english sub that's what he said, but in the dub it's also similer). Usui already likes misaki, but he said that it would be a drag because he doesn't want it out in the open, that he likes her, he know's that if he would tell kanou that he did like misaki, kanou would tell her that, and usui doesn't want to pressure her. Because when usui kissed misaki for the first time, she was anxious, and under pressure. So later he kissed yukimura, to make her think that he was just some perv. That's why he lied to kanou that it would be a drag, he doesn't want to pressure her.
And at the end, kanou understood that both usui and misaki lied, and that they both indeed like each other: http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/kaichou_wa_maid_sama/mf/v05/c025/32/ (at the end of the episode he also understood the same thing, just wanted to add the manga)

But I also wanted to add something little that the anime didnt put in that episode and in the scene, between kanou and usui when kanou talked to usui about dating..I hope it will not bother somone that I will put the manga reference.

again, kanou talks to usui about dating, uaui says "I'm already tired of that sort of thing" kanou, asked if he meant tired of going out with girl's, and usui says "yeah, yeah" http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/kaichou_wa_maid_sama/mf/v05/c025/18/
...well, I don't think he literally meant that he's tired going out/dating girls or not being serious with girls, but he's tired from all the girls trying to date him, uaui is very popular, girls always confess to him, and he's always getting a love letter.
He never dated anyone before misaki, she's the first girl he's interested in, as said here: http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/kaichou_wa_maid_sama/mf/v01/c001/22/
And he's always rejected love confessions: http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/kaichou_wa_maid_sama/mf/v01/c001/10/
So misaki is his first girlfriend and first in everything, before her he was inexperienced.
I wanted to add that, because in the anime usui does say "I'm just tired of this kind of thing" and right after he says "it's a drag to even get serious about it" and the scene ends.
But in the manga when usui says that he's "tired of that sort of thing" kanou asks him if usui's means that hes tired dating girls, and usui answers "yes yes" and then he says "if you get serious in it, it would be bothersome" and the scene ends. Which means the anime cut out the little part between the "I'm just tired of this kind of thing" and "it's a drag to even get serious about it" they cut out kanou asking usui if he's tired dating girls and usui saying "yes yes"..it's a shame they cut out that little part they said.
and they even changed the words a little bit in some other scenes in the episode, and in other episodes also..that's way I always read the manga also.

That whole rice (actual) ball scene was pretty funny. And Usui getting his cuddle on next to sleepy Misa.

But she's still so damn oblivious and unwilling to acknowledge her love. It's tiresome.

And now this new guy has Usui feeling some type of way.

Isn't it kind of late to introduce a male rival so late into the season? It's already Episode 21...

And why isn't there a single female rival who's serious and persistent about going after Usui? Aoi doesn't count, obviously.

Why can't Usui catch a break and finally win Misa over?? This is so unnecessary. Hinata was a little annoying. I definitely like Usui more and feel bad that he's being forgotten already. I'm surprised his not messing with Misa more now that he's jealous
This never updates so that's cool
