Yukiatsu.......O.O...oh LOLOLOLOLOL....
I kinda felt sorry for the poor crosdresser when they saw him...that was embarassing for him...Guess he suffered very much in his own way too.
I kinda like Tsuruko now...she is actually sharp and smart.Anaru is cute and has a cool sense of fashion,Poppo is funny and so kind and Jintan is....the guy that can see and talk to ghosts....we got Yukiatsu who's the personal team freak...i luv all the characters in this :X

Well, being a shut-in doesn't necessarily mean you never exercise. Who knows, he might just have a gym in the basement or something. ┐( ̄ー ̄)┌

I absolutely adore this show, but there is just one thing REAAAALLY bugging me.

Clearly, Menma can interact with her environment. She could quite easily pick something up, write on a piece of paper or something to show that she is there. I don't know if it's just a matter of time until this happens, but if it doesn't, I think giving Menma the ability to interact may be a big flaw.

Anyway, apart from that one nitpick that may or may not be answered later, this is definitely my favorite show this season.

Poppo for character of the century.

Left me hanging at the edge of my seat, eyes glued to the screen.
That was great. Tsuruko's really good for thinking of that plan. Liking her.
It amuses me how cross dressing Yukiatsu shows himself when Poppo is peeing even though earlier than that, everyone was outside.

I'm betting Yukiatsu liked Menma when they were children too, that's why he's always resented Jintan.

Yeh Menma can interact with her environment I don't see why Jinta doesn't just prove her existence to the rest of them by making her pick things up.

Wow Yukiatsu. Just wow. Saying Jintan is the one that's obsessed with her while you yourself are cross-dressing as her. Now who it pitiful huh? I'm curious on how they are going to react to this and how he is going to talk himself out of this. >.<

Another thing that has been going around in my mind is that why Menma's "ghost" doesn't just make herself apparent? She could've just picked up the coffee and everybody would've seen the floating coffee cup right? Some already noted that they felt weight on them when she was clinging to them. =P

Anaru is just too good. I really hope Jintan and her will get together somehow. And I hope she'll leave her current "friends" as well because they're such bitches!

Its pretty much obvious already that he likes her.

I want to steal Anaru's closet!
Oh Yukiatsu-- I do pity you. It seems like he wanted someone to find out about his Menma obsession or he wanted to talk about it with everyone.
Menma has to interact with others and if the show doesn't show that, then indeed it will be a big flaw.

However, everyone who thinks he is suddenly a freak are rather insensitive too.. People cope with death of a loved one in many ways.

I'm not one of the people who have started calling him a freak, but I have to point out that he would be far easier to sympathise with if he wasn't such a dick about things.

Anyway, I agree with the people who are a little surprised that the crossdressing theory was right. I mean, yeah, the evidence was there, but I wasn't sure that they'd go through with something that might put off some viewers like that.

Not much else to say, really. I very much enjoyed this episode, eagerly awaiting the next.
If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues.

It was embarassing and disturbing to see Yukiatsu in Menma's dress at the end. I just had to close my eyes haha.
Im surprised that I like Tsuruko more. I hope she stays like this and not change.

Agreed! im officially now a Yukiatsu fan! he had balls to dress as Menma;) The guy needs some love and understanding. all he needs is a big hug and support from his friends to get over Menma´s loss XD


Well maybe he really liked to crossdress XDdo i feel some homolust?

And loved the Anaru x Jintan moment:) Anaru x Jintan ftw.

At first I thought Jintan is the one with the biggest problems: he dropped out of school and lives like a hikkikomori because of Menmas dead. (BTW why does his father accpt living that way?)
But now when you have a deeper look, Yukiatsu is even more sensitive as I thought. Maybe he has gotten used to be such harsh and snide to paper over the cracks. But now that all know about his "little hobby" maybe he will continue to develop himself.

Luckily for Yukiatsu only his "friends" saw him masquerade as Menma...
For example if Anarus classmates have seen him that way, he will have a hard time in his life.

So the speculah was true after all.

I just hope the show not to become all about crossdressing and things like that, it'd be creepy.

Anyway, sometimes I wish for Menma to really show herself to the public, by moving objects or things like that. But sometimes I don't - wonder what will be actually better for the plot.

Love the show's unpredictability, anyway.

Ugly and Creepy. someone should slap him for doing this. lol

Awesome episode.

though i still think Jinta is an idiot. when he wants everyone to believe that he can see menma then why not prove it. maybe he will in the end of the story.

On a side note,


If that happens, I'll be happy, b/c that would mean that Jinta x Menma will happen. I love those two together. As for Yukiatsu..I just feel bad for him. He must of really loved Menma, but to go this far.... I hope he redeems himself, b/c I think he's a good guy..he's just struggling more than others and showing it in odd ways. As for Tsuruko, I liked her from the beginning and this episode showed me exactly why she's so awesome. And Poppo was awesome as always, making Menma feel better without him knowing is always a plus. Looking forward to the next episode
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

I bet Yukiatsu will somehow deny everything in the next episode in some obviously fake way to try and cover up his obsession.

Another thing I noticed after seeing it a 2nd time is in the spoiler
anyone notice that by Jinta squeezing Anjou's arm and her feeling pain that it seems to me Jinta has a temper problem in regards to controlling his anger. To no surprise this might be a cause towards his yelling outbursts. His running around to let the heat off also but Atsumu might be doing the same thing perhaps.

The other thing is that I am with the people that think Anjou looks astonishing with her hair as in the following spoiler
indeed she looks much more mature and ladylike IMO and nice save Jinta!

I knew he was the one who was wearing a Menma dress because some people at last episode speculated about it and it seemed true for me and it was true. But still a very interesting episode and Yukiatsu is high in the rankings of greatest perverts this season.

For those who think Yukiatsu is a pervert:

I think he crossdress because he miss Menma and he is really sad, not because its making him sexually aroused. I guess he is traumatized by her death and have issues but it's not like it's a sexual behavior.

And also he is a jealous asshole.

I can't believe they actually did this. Don't know what to think about this, I'm not a fan of it (it seriously reminds me of stuff like School Days), but I'll guess I'll wait until it is played out completely.

I'm beginning to like Tsuruko more and more. ^^ Naruko always looks so beautiful. <3 I really would like to see Jinta ending up with Naruko. I know that he probably still likes Menma but she's dead.
Can't wait for next episode to learn why Yukiatsu was dressing as Menma.

I hope this will not happen but if it does it will make Jinta x Naruko more than ever since he will be the one to most likely comfort her. I wonder if Menma will help in that?


Agreed. Although, I think Tsuruko will help aswell, if it does happen..

Usually the ones that protest too much are the ones with the most skeletons in their closets. Case in point: Yukiatsu is a cross-dressing psychopath!!

I actually wouldn't be surprised if he pushed Menma off the riverbank because she loved Jinta and not him!!

Ok well I am calling official 3rd dips on that though. You really think he did that? I have lots of suspicion due to that sniffing of his of the clothing but damn. Ok guess assumption in and let's see if that is what may have happened.
