This was a great and refreshing ep! Loved the change of pace and focus on another couple other than Otani and Risa. It's kinda wierd though how Risa knows Haruka's feelings, but she is the narrator so I guess its ok.

For some stupid reason, the idea of friends & lovers moving apart, not because they want to, but because situations in their life dictate that they do... schools end, uni ends, clubs disband, companies close and relationship succumb to distance and the relentless passing of time ... thats a motif that never stops moving me.

Well said, not many comedy/romance series get this far where they actually show life after school ends, though the few that do are really good series.

Nakao won't be the only one who will miss Nobu. She's been an amazing friend and one of the best characters in the show. The harem was too funny. They should have thrown in Seiko for good measure. New character/obstacle?!! Sigh. Still loving this series however.

At this point in the show, we know the new character is only going to be a final speed-bump on the path to the good ending. Otani and Risa have really only just started dating, so happy as they may be, it's unlikely we're going to get a lot more romantic development than we've seen to date. Just bringing them back together in time to graduate and move on to adult life with a pledge to always stay together is probably the best outcome we can expect. If Nobu and Nakao, who've been together over the course of the series and who really have been a pretty stable and mature couple (other than Nakao's brief descent into insanity in this episode) don't go any farther than that--there won't be any more from our loveable, but dense, main characters.
Please don't feed the trolls!

It was a cute side-story. It was nice to see Nakao different from his usual self.

I wonder what will happen with that guy. I guess he will fall in love with Risa and Ootani will misinterprate things.

Nice to see some details about Nobu's relationship. She's been beside Risa all this time yet we knew very little about her.

Uh oh...seems to me like the show is running out of gas. This was so so. I didn't find it very funny. Just seemed to lack the crisp humor and honest emotion mix that made earlier episodes click. The story felt a bit forced and rushed. Nobu-chan continues to be one of my favorite characters, so it was nice to see her get some extra screen time.


well it's near the end so i don't really mind.

finally, we get to the dark haired boy. i was interested in him all the way from the time the 2nd OP came.

Ah, Nakao is such a great guy. He's emotional, loving and quiet. I'm glad that the series pointed at their relationship, if even just for one episode. It's funny how braindead he becomes without her though, not gonna lie...

One thing I don't like is how they introduced 2-3 new characters in such a short span that are all of a sudden deeply involved in the plot...like, I get it, you need ideas, but focus on more of a Slice of Life kind of genre going forward then, not every episode has to be romance-related drama....

The anime is based on the manga, so all the late characters were probably introduced that way. So I'm not going to get annoyed with the show. Disappointment is another matter, since I do wish we had more episodes so we could flesh out characters other than Risa & Otani, regardless of manga. Then the new characters wouldn't feel so out of place or be introduced so late in the show. Sometimes Mangakas forget to do that. I'm also still wondering if Otani ever met Risa's family.

Thought we would receive a more serious input regarding Risa and Ootani's future as a couple but nope. Instead we only got a few minutes of her and her "friends" mocking the poor guy and the rest of the episode being dedicated to Nobu and her lame ass boyfriend.
Honestly, I don't have anything against her since she's pretty decent as supporting character but her romantic relationship with Nakao is so superficial I couldn't care less about. The guy has no personality and if anything, the studio could have given them some more depth in the previous episodes instead of having Risa crying and running in circles because of her one-sided love.
