LOVE! I was so happy when they confessed and kissed.

But I have a question. If Mizuho is indeed Ichika's older sister (which has been hinted at), TvTropes claims that the camera indicates that Kaito's grandfather is Kei. That would make Ichika his
. Aliens may have different views on incest, and Kaito might never find out, but couldn't it still be problematic?

Quite honestly I don't get that at all. I've watched all episodes of this show but this comment downright confuses me lol. Who is Mizuho and why would she be Ichika's sister?

This show could possibly be a stealth sequel to Onegai Teacher and Onegai Twins, which have much of the same staff as this show.

Ah that sounds plausible then. Thanks for the clarification. :)

In the attraction stage, a group of neuro-transmitters called 'monoamines' play an important role:
* Dopamine - Also activated by cocaine and nicotine.
* Norepinephrine - Otherwise known as adrenalin. Starts us sweating and gets the heart racing.
* Serotonin - One of love's most important chemicals and one that may actually send us temporarily insane.

I really dislike Ichika and Kaito, as characters and as a couple, but I have to admit that this episode has been the best so far, I loved how they showed the reactions and the feelings of Kanna, Tetsurou and Mio ;O; I'll love to see what's coming for the next 3 episodes :D

I know the chemical processes associated with "love," but I'm talking about reasoning behind loving someone. I'm going to say that who you end up loving is half purely instinctual and half depends on random circumstances. Sometimes you end up falling for someone just 'because'

I totally didn't expect everyone just to accept things so easily. Nice to see that despite her feelings, Kanna supports Kaito & Ichika. Now let's move on Mio & Tetsurou & Kanna triangle. This show is very unpredictable.

"Well actually I'm not an Earthling."

"Okay, we won't tell."

They accepted it so easily! xD

Anyway, Ichika being away made a good oppurtunity for Kanna. I loved the back story we got on her. Later on they got to see Kaito's film when he wasn't around. I think he didn't really want them to see some of it though.

And who would've though Lemon could actually give some useful advice? Kanna was pretty harsh towards Ichika too. It must be very frustrating for Kanna to see the person her crush likes running away from it. I guess it's really just game over for Kanna now. Tetsuro grabbed his chance and Mio saw that too. Oh well. =(
Good for Kaito and Ichika though. The confession was sweet.

This one was redemption for the last failure of an episode I guess. Great one, even though I still prefer the secondary characters to the main couple and wish they weren't together.

GDI, this show gives me so many happy/spazzy feelings for the cute Ichika/Kaito moments, but it tears my heart with Kanna's sadness. I know how it feels to be in her position where your feelings aren't reciprocated :c same with Mio, though I feel that maybe Tetsurou could come to like her as well. asdfghjkl my heart :T

Very good episode.

As soon as I heard the music getting all dramatic and saw the train, I wondered if his dream was going to be a Galaxy Express 999 reference. I think Kaito was even wearing a jacket like one of the characters wore. :D

The ending was nicely done.

Nice episode indeed. I expected a bit more shock when Ichika announced that she was an alien, everyone just seemed to roll with it. Even though it was completely obvious that it was going to happen, Kaito x Ichika GTFO. Anime still rocks though, found it way too funny that Remon was taking pictures of the kiss. Going to be interesting to see how these last three episodes get filled.

Great episode. I'm not the biggest fan of Kaito x Ichika, but they pulled off the scenes fantastically and it's boosted up my opinion of the show, especially considering they have three episodes left.

That said, I can't see this series ending on a happy note. I am predicting things are about to get hectic, both with the other love triangle and the fact that our alien girl needs to go home still.

A series that jerks at the emotional heart strings.
I finally get around to watch this and after getting to here am glad I did.
Series plot is playing out very reminiscent to its predecessors in the Please Teacher series it makes you laugh, cry, scream and throw something out the window in each ep.

I wonder if Lemon is the same girl from Please series????

For the same reason the makers added it in the Onegai Teacher series. The screenplay and character designs are done by the same people. One might even say this is a covert remake or sequel to Onegai Teacher (might as well had called it Onegai Senpai considering even most of the designs are the same, including Ichika and Lemon being carbon copies of Mizuho and Ichigo).

Let's just say they ran out of ideas and leave it at that, since the alien thing was at least touched on more in Teacher rather than in ANo Natsu where it's just swiftly brushed aside.

@Ahri - I was being a dork for a poor choice of words - sorry. Please don't hold it against me.

I still like the idea that "Love" and "Insane" might be related ;)

Anyway...I not only don't have a problem with the "alien" aspect, but also don't see a problem with it having had only a marginal influence on events up until now. It's "background" - instead of being from, say, Wheeling West Virginia, she's maybe from somewhere in the Pleiades. And instead of dad flying in on a Boeing 747 to find her he'll be flying on in on a "Seven Sisters M45". Humans and aliens having romantic affairs in fiction has a VERY long history both in print and on the screen - I see no reason to start nit picking such things with a silly little love story.

True. It definitely had a purpose in Onegai and was integral to the plot. Kei was actively aware that Mizuho was an alien from the beginning.

Here though, it just feels tacked on. Once the big reveal is made, everyone is cool with it; Kaito "knew" all along...I know the show isn't over yet and it could still play a hopefully more important part, but it feels like a cheap trick to make Ichika a more interesting character. Honestly though, she has to be one of the most well-informed aliens ever when it comes to human relationships. Aside from her basic alien quirks, you would think she would have at least a little more trouble assimilating. But Ano Natsu shows a complete disregard for such an important part of her character. Maybe the Japanese idea of aliens is different than the West, but it should be a bigger deal.

They could have gone without the alien shtick. She could have been an exchange student or transfer student and it would have been fine. The same emotions would come across: the guilt of having to leave the one you love.

I have nothing against Ichika or Kaito. Congrats to them! It's just as the main characters, the show banks on the exoticism of a human-alien relationship without the alien part having any lasting importance. What's the point?

I get the feeling the fact that Ichika is an alien will lead to a "protagonist vs supreme being" conflict, which will become a larger issue as outside forces will come to take her back with them when she doesn't want to. Also, throughout the series there's various times where she used alien powers to cure Kaito and teleport around to keep tabs on him, which some of it is important in the plot.

To be honest, I think they have done a much better job of keeping the alien aspect of the story in the background than they did with Onegai Teacher.

But near the end I do think that the conflict of her being Alien will take a more prominent role as she faces hard choices of staying on earth or going home. I have a feeling alien entities will play a part in this as the decision might become forcibly placed on her. We have already seen evidence of this conflict as Ichika struggled with her feelings for Kaito.

I think Ichika being alien is better than just her being a foreign national because it adds more of a finality if she has to leave. In the dream sequence of this episode, Kaito realizes that if Ichika leaves it's permanent. There's no getting on a plane and flying to find her like you could if she was from western Canada.

I do think there is more to the alien part of the story. But so far, apart from having to heal Kaito with kisses (really?), it has been highly underutilized. I want more, but only if they're going to make use of its potential.

YES. And we have 3 more eps to see I hope for a good ending and if Ichika leaves the planet it would be good if Kaito go with her it will be a surprising ending.

As I see it the blue mushroom will end up alone that is not good, maybe some alien will come for her too.

Hmm, that was quite heart-warming. Well, at least the part with Kaito and Ichika was. However, I feel so so sad for Kanna. Her poor little broken heart! She has so much envy and fury in her, ugh. I want Ichika and Kaito to be together, but at the same time I want Kanna to be happy -shakes head-
And Tetsuro is such a sweetheart for comforting Kanna like that! She should try to give him a chance instead. Then, what about Mio? -sigh-

Well I suppose I was more invested in the characters than I realized. When Kanna got angry and exposed her heart at Ichika I was so sad. Seeing a character I was rooting for decide that she was going to accept it and have to move on hurts the soul.

Anyway, props for a male character in a romantic anime for actually being assertive. And to the show itself for having a momentous confession before the last few minutes of the series. Even if it wasn't with Kanna. Damn this love train.
