The ending was very sad. Hina doesn't know that her parents are dead.
Only one episode left :(

Three of them are a little to much for just one person to handle while still going to school.

I thought the news said that the passengers were missing. I thought that they just assumed that they were dead. This is what happens when you marathon a series in a few days. You miss a few things. I thought the dream sequences were okay. Overall, the episode was fine. The letter will cause some drama in the next episode, and hopefully everything will be concluded.

Sora falling asleep in class. I've had that happen before, and it wasn't fun xD

On another note, I'm really enjoying Sora's little dreams/fantasies play out. The scene with field of flowers kind of reminded me of Alice from Wonderland.

I wonder if this Sora > Yuuta > Raika > Sora love square/triangle will resolve itself by the end of the series. Probably not though.

Medicine? What 'medicine' is Sora giving Miu???

The author could have taken them down a really messed up path. Thank goodness this is a light-hearted show.

How are they going to explain death to a three year old girl? :/
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness."

"May those who defy their fate be granted glory."

Even though I don't like the Aunt or the Takanashi family she had a point. One, Yuuta's been too focused on the feeling of being a father that he completely didn't notice any fever signs of Hina, or Miu's problems. Then there's Sora quitting the club. Lastly, not having his phone charged is a huge mistake Yuuta made. There's no ifs or butts, being a parent means having the phone charged everyday. What would have happened if Hina went to the hospital and Yuuta's phone was out of battery. Yep, most likely the girls would be taken on the spot. The only reason the aunt even gave Yuuta more time was because she wanted him to think it over.


The ending was heart breaking. Explaining to a 3 year old that her parents aren't coming back is a tough task and depressing.

How the hell does the aunty even know more about how the kids are doing more so than Yuuta- it doesn't even make sense lol. Such a silly and illogical plot sequence. Makes me hate her lol. I'm just happy things aren't going as bad as they COULD have. It'll turn into the kids getting mad at Yuuta for deciding to send them to the uncle without considering their feelings, I think.

I understand that Yuta offered to take in the girls because the elders were to take then apart and that would have been more hard for the girls and even though they protested, they let him have it his way... the thing that I don’t understand is if they knew of his situation why in The Blue Hell they didn’t send him some kind of allowances, not big bucks but some kind of an amount to help him get through with his life (food, travel & school expenses and health care for the girls) and now they are trying to take the girls away... they are family they supposed to take care of each other in rough times…

He has to do something fast, the girls aren't doing well at school and they aren't too healthy either.

All of these problems could have been avoided by transfering the girls to a closer school or moving into the house instead of the apartment and putting college on hold until Sora was old enough to get a job and Miu was old enough to take care of Hina. But that would require a lot less melodrama than the "solutions" used so far.

Assuming that neither of those solutions would work for some unknown reason(s), he should take that guy up on his offer and let the girls go, its what's best for everyone. Of course there's absolutely no chance whatsoever that that will happen. Its much more likely that we'll get another touchy feely half-assed solution that basically amounts to "It'll all work out somehow."

I don't know why so many people compared this to Usagi Drop, its like comparing a cesspool to a reservoir, just because they're both man made structures containing water :/


Well said.

No bath scene at least.

Am I the only one who felt a bit of pacing whiplash here? I assume there was a time skip.
Segawa is a total dad now and he's working really hard, Sora has finally realized what her feelings towards Segawa mean with her dreams of marriage, the four of them are used to this life now with the girls are exhausting themselves to keep Segawa from being worried, and for the first time in forever Hina finally remembers she has a mom and a dad, an issue that has been avoided awkwardly for awhile. Everything was so gradually building up and this episode felt as though it were an awkward skip forward so everything could go wrong and there could be an emotional climax. ~_~

The yuri scene was off putting at first but then I remembered how much of a teaser Miu is and it made sense to me why Sora would dream of her like that.. maybe. Dreams don't have to make sense and it makes enough sense to have Miu play a good spirited joke on her like that. It's quite certainly for the perverts out there I'm sure but it could be worse!

And yes Auntie knew too much about what was going on to make sense. Perhaps it will be explained or it will be a plot hole. Everything bad possible going on at once and an omniscient aunt really soured this episode for me, it felt so artificial. I would have loved to see more build up to all of these events. Perhaps it didn't really need it, Segawa was never a questioning father and it did show Sora stop going to her club but it could have been far more stretched out and shown that separation of him and the girls grow deeper.

Either way it seemed like everything was going well until this episode and Segawa as the super dad he now is decided it perhaps is best for the girls to move in together with someone else. The reason he did initially take them in was to keep them together after all and he's able to see the broader picture now.

The one part that really got to me was actually Segawa beating himself over not having his phone on when Hina was in trouble. He did this to give back to the world what his sister did for him and he's doing the exact opposite from what she did for him now, he's putting the children in danger. The scene leading to it may have felt contrived for the reasons above but at least it's a good motivation for him doubting himself on top of his development.

Some other things:
I feel like living in the house could cost more than the apartment. It's also probably not in his name and I don't know, as someone not familiar with the process of buying and owning houses this was something I didn't mind.

As for the other family wanting to take the girls just shunning Segawa and not sending him money, unless this is explored its just another questionable detail like the omniscient aunt.

MC should take the offer of the uncle and let the three nieces live together in a more comfortable and bigger place where all 3 can be together.

Good for the uncle to now decide to take all 3 in, even if its a very difficult decision to make, specially financially and with a toddler.

and yuck, please, no more twinkle twinkle
