"Sorata no baka"
That was so cute from her, especially the one with the texting :)

Rita should just piss off. She doesn't have any say in what Mashiro wants.
I can understand Sorata though, but he should also consider what she wants.

Ryuunosuke showed up, didn't expect that. The funny thing is that he was spoilered in the OP now that I looked back. Thank god I skipped it. I don't get why they couldn't wait one more episode to include him.
He does look a bit girlish :S I like his tomato eating habit though :)

Whenever Nanami walks into Sorata's room, its always "bad timing" lol It was also funny when Rita said Sorata doesn't have a pair XD It's also cool to finally see the nerdy character that always stays in his room. Great Ep

How come the genius thinks that a tomato is a superior vegetable? I mean ... It's a fruit.

Anyways that part at the end where they were looking at the piece of art was kind of cheesy, though I guess it was done to show exactly why her drawing manga was a waste of time ... Although I'm not so sure that forcing someone to paint who doesn't have a passion for it is such a good idea either.

1. WHY CAN'T SHE PAINT IN JAPAN?

2. VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE. WHY CAN'T SHE HAVE NEW EXPERIENCES IN JAPAN TO HELP SHAPE HER AS A PERSON? DOES SHE HAVE TO SIT IN A ROOM IN ENGLAND AND PAINT EVERY DAY UNTIL SHE DIES?

3. IF SHE DOESN'T WANT TO PAINT THEN WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS CONFLICT IN THE FIRST PLACE?

This was a very frustrating episode that brought in a plot that doesn't make any sense at all to me. I might not finish the series if they drag this out for too long.

EDIT: Never mind all is well, I spoke too soon.

-even if Rita does manage to convince Shiina to go back to England, when she ends up drawing paintings, her dissatisfaction will only just show in her art work & that will just end in a wreck. if she really wants to draw manga, just let her do it. ya, easy answer to come up with, but hard to execute in real life. but it's the truth

It was a really interresting episode.

First of all, love square incoming!! I have a feeling that that Miyahara will come back later... I already don't like him >:(

We finally saw Ryuunosuke face!! I thought he was a girl when I saw him xD
God, he was hilarious with the teacher, such a little brat :P

I like the fact that Mashiro didn't want that Rita sleep in Sorata room, cute jalousy :3

About Mashiro, it really look like she flee from something by going out of England. Maybe it was too much pressure for her? Maybe there was someone there that she hated? Or maybe she just doesn't like to paint, like a cursed talent? There must be a reason she stopped painting.

That ending was really beautiful, with all those colors...

Anyway, I'm sure that we'll learn more next episode, maybe she'll even get emotive!

What a nice way to start your first day of a new semester in school xD
So a new character,her name is Rita and she want Shiina to comeback to UK,because she left painting to be a mangaka.Sorata is being a retard again :(
He wants again to hurt Shiina,and if he says her that he wants her to go to UK she will be offended :/ I mean i understand that he wants the best for her,but he can't decide that,she must decide what she want to do in her life,if she want to be a mangaka let her be omg and plus if she comeback to painting she will leave them :/ what a retard…..
Btw Shiina paints really good,her works look amazing.

Loved that reference?to "No Game!No Life" ahaha xD

So it seems that Shiina is from England, and Sorata thinks she should return. I hope not. Also Sorata, you may not be able to understand English, but even I can understand that she wasn't speaking English. Expect better from you.

^Preach! And that part where he tries to speak English had me gasping for air, lol.

Well, it seems this Rita girl has some ulterior motive for bringing Mashiro back to England. Could be the fact that she feels inferior to Mashiro but I'll see in the next episode or two.

Mashiro blatantly doesn't want to leave Japan because
But like Mashiro herself said: Sorata no baka.

The most I take from this episode is that Mashiro's situation is very similar to that of Louise in Zero no Tsukaima when


Now I'm not like a typical critic of ecchi/harem/drama anime. I can say I've seen the archetypes and similar situations at times but each story has its originality.
tl;dr harem ecchi drama anime have noticeable similarities but story is where it counts.

Either way, promising story ahead. 10 episodes in and the development is definitely forming.

Heh, Ryuunosuke jumpscaring me during the opening. <3
He was a fun character WITHOUT appearing on-screen. His attitude toward faculty aside, he has potential for being even MORE fun (that hermit's hair, tee-hee).

Rita seems to be a drama fuel for the next episodes unless we'll have enough of this:

She's a sort of Jin-Sempai's warning as well: outstanding people like Mashiro really act like blackholes that devour others. It doesn't justify her trying to steer anybirdie's anyone's artistic career, though. Assuming direct control over somebirdie's someone's creativity never works well.

Wow, the characters in this anime are so pittiful and childish that i can barely stand it. I can't stand Sorata or Nanami. Sorata puts japanese men to shame with his pathetic behaveour. I get that he's shy, but not taking the chance to glimpse at a naked female body... Well, he's a shounen type character, so i'm sure they don't have a pair of balls like most men do. Not to mention that he's the only one who doesn't dare calling Mashiro by her name. Pathetic, utterly pathetic.

Nanami is nothing but a killjoy. She's there to ruin all awkward, perverted or scenes that can lead to romance. Well, the japanese have shit taste in plot and characters, so i'm not surprised the killjoy character made it's way into this anime as well.

At first I was like... oh okay so Rita in this episode. An old roomate of Mashiro.

Then eh.. ehhhhh.... Ryuunosuke??? I keep on forgetting that he or she? is a character.

"Sorata no baka" - quote of the episode.

Just who is this Akasaka? He or she? Could be the best character of the show.

Okay, but who even is Sorada to tell Shiina what to do with her life? It has nothing that concerns him just because her art swept him away. It's perfectly normal for all good things to come to end. Much like this anime will in 15 episodes.

Sorata and Aoyama got some rumors going on of the start of the semester, A new character as well Rita appeared and has come to get Mashiro back to England Please don't make it happen

God Ryuunosuke came out of her his room for a second I thought he was a girl well that turned to a 180 real quick "Sorata no baka" indeed

Guess they're making a game again for the festival with the help of Ryuunosuke hope this turns out great.

like it or not talent is usually curated and developed by ones with the eye for them.No such thing as do w/e you like exists for such.It's a commoners fantasy & that's where shows with these themes are targeted at.

I believe that Mashiro's work in painting from England is fantastic. But it is up to her on whether or not she should take Rita's recommendation to go back to England instead of staying in Japan to draw manga.

Rita seems like a nice girl but it seems like she won't be around for very long in this series.

Also, we finally get to see Ryuunosuke make his appearance in person. Seems like Ryuunosuke isn't really into doing too much other than eating tomatoes and trying to make Maid-Chan become a reality.

I thought Akasaka was just a random girl who walked in on the commotion for a second, what a shock. This guy could fool anyone, with his appearance.

Sorata's last line doesn't inspire confidence. I forsee more drama and strained relationships in the next episode.
