I posted last in epi. 2 discussion and I was actually worried it was gonna end up being a terrible series. But now that i'm up to episode 6 Im loving this show. It's still not as "deep" as I had hoped for but it's still causing me not be able to stop watching and I haven't had that with an anime in a while. Yakumo is love and actually I like Harkua. I don't like alot of female anime characters but I think they did a nice job with her. And no Yakumo doesn't want her to go away like alot of people are saying. I think he really kinda likes her but like has been stated in the show itself is not great at sharing feelings and is probably not sure how to act. Shes really growing on him though. <3 The case for this episode was kinda bland but now im hooked after Yakumo mentioning that person was his father and wanna find out more.

Topless Yakumo is sexy ♥ I wanted to see his sexy nipples too!!

PS. tsubasalover is the 1st to post in every episode discussion. If only she gets something better in life to do than posting 1st in every show discussion. Is she competing with someone? I say this because I notice she is always the 1st in many other shows discussions. This gave me the impression that she does nothing in life only watching anime in time and never skipping a single episode!

I react pretty much like Yakumo did whenever someone pokes me there.

This.

I'm the same as the lady haunting the apartment. Too serious, apparently. XD

... Really?

I seriously fail to understand Yakumo though. What is that stupid act that he pulls? Sure he might not be an open social guy but that's different from tryinng to act like an asshole. "Oh! it's you, btw you are fat".
His behavior would have been logical if he hated Haruka but he doesn't.
The second thing is what are his feelings. If he likes her then his just behaving like an elementary school kid that can express or understand his feelings and treats a girl he likes like shit instead of the opposite.
Is he planning to be alone all his life? He seems like he decided that he has no hope of ever sharing feelings with anyone and tries to push people away because he likes being miserable. That must be it, maybe his messed mother and father relationship along with his eye being weird left him with low social self esteem and he doesn't see himself as human as others.


He's a tsundere, maybe? I see tons of anime with the girls bullying (even beating up) the guys - it's just the other way around in this anime... Besides, he's a good guy - he just likes to tease her. If she really got mad, she could always just leave, honestly.

And what's wrong with being alone? I'm sure Yakumo felt fine by himself before Haruka came along. If she wasn't there, he'd just live his life like always.

Another great episode and case, I do hope they go further with the development of those two. It was rather a slower episode but still quite nice with a nice ending!

This was actually a neat quote.
I also like how this episode challenged the idea of dating and making yourself look pretty for other people versus dressing to do it for yourself.

Actually, out of all the episode thus far, it was the least shallow.
The characters are still a little flat, but I can at least increase my rating from the lowest possible score this series will get to a 3.

The scene with Gotou's apartment and all those "infertility treatment" books kinda hit me. Maybe it's because my parents went through the same situation before I was born. And I love the theme of the episode. And lol, that's a pretty weird reaction for a tickle haha.

That is the poke of death.

Now I'm a guy and I can't stand shows/episodes that use that stupid trope of "a woman's happiness" being finding a boyfriend. That's such a joke it's pathetic.

I can't imagine how ladies must feel when they see that crap.

I'm now starting to wonder if everyone can see spirits and ghosts in this universe. I think Haruka should not see them and only follow what Yakumo is saying to show that Haruka trusts him or something.

Goto has some serious stuff going on in his life, it seems. Oh, I never said it in any prior eps, but Nao is hella kawaii. Both mute and deaf, such a wholesome child.

Didn't feel like a serious episode, but more like a "relaxing" episode between 2 important arcs and based on the preview, this might be true because it looks like things will get very interesting.

I'm 100% sure Nao didn't care about that, so it felt annoyingly forced. She's not even old enough to know the difference between clothes.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

Nao is really cute. Didn't even notice what she was upset about there until Haruka mentioned the cardigan.
