yeah, and she was hanging all over some other guy soon after. Koyuki didn't really know where he stood, and until Izumi said she liked him he didn't believe that it could turn into a situation that Maho would need to worry about. that's assuming that he thought with anything above his waist that is, which is unlikely.

i hate love triangles, i hope they don't drag it out too long, but that's probably asking too much :(

After watching all the episodes thus far, I found this series to have more realistic drama, I don't think they'll go super-anime on this, if you know what they mean.

Cool.

Now Koyuki is faced with the tough choice, Maho or Izumi... personally I'd go for Maho, Izumi is like 2 years older and he hasn't seen her in ages

I thought this show has some real potential once it picked up the pace, and it was totally worth the wait.
I love the MahoxKoyukixIzumi triangle although Maho doesn't have much of a fight..
Can't wait to see Koyuki get good. :]

Yeah, Maho is better choice. It seems like Izumi chose Koyuki just because he had some worth after the live gig.

I'm not sure maho-chan made her intentions obvious. Nothing was set in stone so no harm done by going swimming with someone else who actually seemed interested in him.

I'm glad to hear DyBre isn't lame Nu Metal like the other bands seemed to be, lol.

Preach it man, preach it! Haha

I honestly felt bad for Maho how she was signing by the pool while watching Koyuki x Izumi, maybe that moment last year in the pool really did mean something to her. But Maho put this on herself giving Koyuki mixed signals and getting all chummy chummy with that guy. Koyuki is timid in the first place, how else is he going to react to that?

Hmmmm, well she was hanging around with other guys. H e was hanging around other girls. Nothing was done between them. So now maybe she can understand how it feels on the other end of the situation >= x

Anyways, loving this show. Might even make the favorites list if it gets better.

(Being a rock music listener from the early 90's to mid-00's) The Dying Breed doesn't sound like a US band to me. They sound more Brit-rock or Aussie. Just my opinion. I'm no music expert.

Koyuki didn't do anything wrong but he should chose Maho. Izumi should've confessed her feelings in the past, now it looks like she's just using him because she has no one else.

Looks like we're going to get some Drama in the upcoming episodes.

The cuts in this anime seem awkward. A lot of long pauses.
But, Koyuki should have got back on the calls. Maho probably invited him on a date to the festival

Well..

The 3 of them made a mistake first Maho hanging out with that douche second Koyuki not answering the calls 3rd Izumi only realizing his feelings now.

But I prefer Maho over Izumi.

He didn't screw up at the concert. XD

Eh. Why'd they throw a love triangle in there. Where did Izumi come from, I thought her role was done. What is this. The concert was so nice then this happened.

Love this. People acting sort of normal. Dramatic enough, like that the typical anime archetypes are toned down. Maho isn't a predictable tsundure, Kyouki s quiet and reserved but importantly he is NOT a little bitch.

Maho why? Koyuki why? Maybe Maho was friends or looked up to that singer that died but get drunk and slutty around Koyuki not around some other guy. And Koyuki what you're doing with Izumi seems insignificant, but it's not, or at least not to Maho.

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHITT KOYUKI DID THE "LIAM GALLAGHER" WHEN HE WAS SINGING WITH DYING BREED!!!! The references in this show is such a treat for music lovers like me. THAT was just awesome. Plus, Greg Ayres is such a good singer.

In terms of that ending... yeah... I really hope this doesn't become a typical melodramatic teenage soap. I loved Maho and Koyuki's relationship (I could really relate to it), and I'm fine with a love triangle, but jeez, tears? Did Maho take it that badly? You'd think she's better and chiller than that...

Side note, I'm laughing so hard at the comments here. Jesus Christ, people, she was just talking to a guy. Sure, that may make Koyuki jealous, but that does not make her a slut...LOL. Get out of the house for a bit.

I just cannot stress enough my hatred of Izumi in this episode (gold digging bitch) although Koyuki is to blame in this situation as well. You don't bite the hand that feeds you. Especially if said hand has spectacular tits and an amazing voice. #TeamMaho

Everyone seems to damn sensitive. O well I'll see how their sensitivity makes the anime better.

Behold of my awesomeness~

I really liked Izumi at first. But I mean come on, you don't talk to the guy for like a year and then suddenly show up when he's famous. She even stopped going to the rehearsals. She probably banged her boyfriend too. She may look all sweet and nice on the outside, bit she's a freaking groupie and gold digger. Maho's not exactly perfect either. She's a bitch a lot of the time and always hangs out with these weird stuck up foreigner friends. If you forget about koyuki and hang around a bunch of douchbags (she was practically laying on the guy's shoulder) don't go shedding tears when koyuki hangs out with other girls.

Fucking Izumi. You fucking liar. Yeah right. Now you fucking have feelings for him right, you gold digging whore. You realized too late??? What the fuck does that mean??? Are you an idiot?? You friendzoned him for years bitch.

This triangle was foreshadowed from the start. You know how anime is with the wishy-washy. Koyuki didn't know where he stood when he saw Maho with that guy. I think he did handle the situation in stride and not be a bitch about it.

I really like the rock music background of this anime and I lke the Koyuki-Maho romance as well :)
Not a big fan of love trianlges though, I hope the plot won't revolve around his too much.

I understand that Koyuki was disappointed and hurt when he saw Maho with that other guy. But going to the same pool on the same day where they shared such a special moment was a bit far.
And I never liked Izumi. She seemed sneaky to me from the very beginning.
So, yeah, I'd choose Maho.

I have gained a greater appreciation for artists that can sing serene songs on tune, only their voice and a guitar reverberating through a live audience.

Laddy is playing a dangerous game. I didn't think he'd be caught so soon, but the moment I saw the pool I knew he done fked up.
