| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow what a crazy revelation *_* Never knew he/she was a trap. Amazing how they managed to cover it but looking back it all makes sense. Its kinda tragic/sad/cute how the backstory unfolded GOOD GOD Yukari is even MORE beautiful this time around AGAIN?!?! how do they manage to do it :( the only thing i didnt like this time was her hair... I might have to look at it again but too many loops imo i like the braiding though. |
  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| good episode, now the mysterious isabella is not so mysterious :3 & cute flashbacks :) Wasted_Life said: GOOD GOD Yukari is even MORE beautiful this time around AGAIN?!?! how do they manage to do it :( the only thing i didnt like this time was her hair...

 |
| ITS A TRAP!!! In all seriousness like everyone Yukari looked freaking awesome, hair could've been a little better but I am no expert. Great episode. |
| They made it quite obvious in the beginning that Isabella was a man. The backstory was nice though. |
| 'Sebastian' 'Obocchan' The beginning got me thinking they stole it from Kuroshitsuji or something but this series is obviously a lot older than that. BOY? I'm SHOCKED. |

Same here. xD Books said: They made it quite obvious in the beginning that Isabella was a man. The backstory was nice though. I need to re-watch it. I made a long pause between episodes 7 and 8 (around 4 months actually) and I forgot a lot of things. |

| hehhe. aww sweet isabel! i had a hunch that this was her secret. in the first episode miwako mentioned that they couldn't change infront of the boys so it makes sense. she looked so kawaii as a little chibi in that dress. ^__^ blue roses are really pretty indeed. however yukari's hair to me looked really unattractive. Much too overdone like everyone said. |
| Finally Isabella's come out..was getting worried. Took 9 episodes for my suspicions to be answered. |
| i love this anime and anything done by yazawa-sama! the scene of george making the dress for isabella was so touching and beautiful. i'm not normally interested in fashion, per se, but this anime (and the manga too) drew me in from beginning to end... |

Looked a little funny to me, but the dress was pretty darn stunning. The colour of the roses will match perfectly... I wonder how they'll fit in with the whole outfit! I remember back in one of the earlier discussion threads, someone mentioned the possibility of Isabella being a guy. After that, I never gave up the suspicion... Seems like a lot of people were vindicated in this episode, finding out that they're right about Isabella's gender. :P |
| Didn't see that revelation coming. This episode was great though, like all the others. |
 |
| Aw the dress looks so cute! Been waiting 10 episodes to see it! And I love itttt, whoop go George! (: |
 |
| Izabella, say it ain't so! I was hesitant to give myself up to a full-on crush because of the suspicions that she was a actually a guy early on in the show. But still, I thought he/she was the most beautiful character in the series. Oh, well. (sigh) I predict that Caroline will do just fine in the modeling show, but won't land the contract with the company. Then she'll go back to school/college, be grateful to her mom and George will stick with her. I'd rather have her fulfill all of her dreams though, but it doesn't feel like it's going to end that way. |
| wow seriously?? it was really obvious isabella was a guy lmao i was fully aware the first episode once miwako told yukari she couldn't change in front of the "guys" im sooo excited for the next episode |
| Well I never even suspected Isabella to be a guy...NEVER! |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Haha Izabella was too perfect, you knew there's a catch XD! I have a bad feeling about that Asou woman... |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Impressive episode and backstory! Really great development and well it was rather obvious Izabella was a boy tbh, there were various hints in the past but to my surprise was that Hiroyuki-kun actually said that he likes Yukari, well I wonder what the show has to offer! |
 |
| I knew she was a trap from the first time they hinted about it. Still nicely done. And I love the dress they made, it's so beautiful now it's finished. |
| Wasn't expecting that reveal :O |
| Very good episode and i knew it hat Isabella was a trap since episode 2 where George say to Yukari when she was changing clothes in front men |
| NORIJI!!!! Aw, it was nice that he had a little cameo here! I loved him in Gokinjo Monogatari!! <3 It's kind of sad how Isabella's arc is so far down in the series, but I did like that they finally talked about her and where she comes from! Love the trans representation... not very common in anime! Ai Yazawa is truly forward thinking when it comes to any of her manga characters! |
| The reactions at the end of the episode were pure gold. Isabella's gender was almost established at the first episodes when Miwako said: "That room is full of just boys". |
 |
| Anyone feel an ominous and uncomfortable presence in the anime? I felt it when George was cutting the roses and when the mysterious blue liquid stained Miwako’s hands... |
 |
| Young master? no my dreams..... she seemed like the big tiddy onee-san type.....tje gentle lady....ara ara...it was a trap all along...pretty impressive to have a woman voice, really fooled me there NORIJI IS BACK BABY!!! finally the most important character from this universe makes his appearance |
 |
| Love the positive LGBTQ+ representation that Ai Yazawa threw in there! |
 |
| “You know, Carrie, since becoming aware of myself I’ve felt uncomfortable about being a boy. Having to live a life as a boy was painful." WAS I'm so happy for Isabella now that she's living according to her true self. Transrepresentation pog. It's a shame Miwako's a transphobe tho. “Men aren’t allowed next door.” Some friend she is. |
| Cute flashbacks!!!!! I’m happy that we got to see Isabellas past she’s one of my favorites :) |
| TRANS REPRESENTATION, LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I can't lie, I am a little grossed out by the comments calling Isabelle a guy or a "trap" but eh, I got a trans character and I'm happy. |
| Good Yukari is getting ready for the festival I'm very curious to how it will turn out, also it's nice to learn more about Isabella |
 |
| Im kind of in shock how many people didn’t understand that Isabella is a trans character and In the same time how anime community cant understand different between a 'trap' character and a trans one. Like which part is not clear ? Especially after her explaining how she feels. |
