That is one creepy grandpa... I don't know if I like him or not. Feels weird.
Comedic parts of this episode were very nice, as always... drama still. It felt kind of rushed for me.
Now everyone is friend and everything is sparkling. Bit too quick for my taste - but I don't mind, I'm watching it for comedy and hope to have more of this in incoming episodes.

Enjoyed the episode, but I'm still bothered by how they found her. Hacking into train station cameras...? Hiring a detective...? Wat? Highschool students in Japan must have hella resources.

I lol'd at the gramps XD

Muroto is pretty BA hacking into the train station camera lol.

Let's see how they'll make the story flow after things with Moritani have been solved.

That was a good episode. Glad to see her back at the school. I really loved that grandpa before, but turning him into a pedo didn't cut it for me. But I loved the whole chase scene. A good conclusion, and I would be satisfied it this was just a 4 episode OVA, but it's even better that we get a full series. Hoping this doesn't go downhill after this.

It DID feel a bit rushed, but at least Kotoura is back now. Also, forgiving moritani so fast? Kotoura is too nice for her own good.

And I simply cannot get enough of Kotoura's blushing faces, especially with tears.

Lol at hentai-grandpa XD

That grandpa might quite possibly be the greatest grandpa ever! Dude's legit.

As for Moritani, I still can't forgive her for all she's done. That will likely slowly change as the show progresses, but for now I'll continue to be annoyed whenever she's on-screen >_<

I wish Kotoura would atleast slap her, or atleast have Manabe lecture her to show his disgust at her actions. But w/e, the show is a comedy so I'm not going to get too hung over it.

Ha it was quite predictable that Moritani would apologize to Kotoura-san.
Kotoura-san is too nice, she can't really blame the person because she don't want to hurt anyone.
She even told that in the first episode.
Well, it's like when Kotoura forgive her everyone does that as well.

There were just a few scenes i enjoyed in this episode, like Kotoura with her grandpa, Kotoura trapped in the net, and when Manabe told the Red haired Bitch "Kimochi warui"

It's not just that Kotoura is forgiving Moritani. She's also accepting that she's changed. I think that the moral and lesson this episode tries to pass is that presented in the last few lines: people change. Through Moritani, Kotoura noticed that, and allowed herself to change. I expect a new Kotoura from now on. One that blames herself for everything less and less, for better or worse.

this episode is rush and I don't mind 12 ep serie after all if 24 ep like toradora they can afford to drama up
but I guess these are foreplay a little drama to set thing off well everyone will apologize to Manabe next week ! So that's end well I guess Moritani's parent owned a dojo i'm sure she can afford a detective or 2 for those who don't know in Asia- primary SEasia you can see an advertising about detective on the road.
This EP ending really make me feel like the last ep of 4ep OVA.
The main PAIN will probably be around Bluehair senpai plan , Kotoura mother and may be Moritani's Dojo issue.

I like the president more and more after every episode. She's so entertaining.

I totally HATE how lightly they treated what Moritani did, though. The bitch ordered professional fighters to beat Manabe up. Then she's forgiven with just a stupid little "gomeneee kotoura"? Not to mention that she should have also apologized to Manabe, and she treated him like some piece of shit instead. That was so fucking stupid.

I know we aren't supposed to discuss manga spoilers here but these aren't spoilers. The manga goes into more detail on how both find her. And everything else...

For a fairly short manga, only 3 books so far with a 4th one coming out next month, they sure are moving quickly!

But I really enjoy it. Great adaptation, if quick. Four panel manga to such a great anime, wow!

Manabe, you are so freaking awesome. I adore his character, dude is such a boss. Most main characters would have gotten all flustered and started denying things when the Grandpa started adding pressure, but he just came right out and said exactly what he thought. Good on you Manabe!

Annoyed that they forgave Moritani, but it's what I expected. We all knew her and Kotoura would become freinds from the opening.

I thought it was pretty cute when Manabe started dancing around with Kotoura in the end. It was just such a genuinely sweet moment.

Oh, and little dude's hardcore, hacking the cameras like that. He's pretty cool.

Wow... way to ruin a show with great potential...

Sadly there's no rating worse than 1 (Appalling), because if there were I'd have voted like that...

Wow... srsly... it's been a while since I'd been so pissed....

It's rare to find a protagonist like Manabe who's straightforward, direct and even if he gets embarrassed, he still states what he thinks proudly. Not like those indecisive, in-denial and easily flustered types >>

What's irritating about him? He's a perv, but he's one of the only male leads who actually speaks his mind and doesn't take any shit when he's made up his mind.

I was thinking how this episode was perhaps the best (of the series) I'd seen, it focused on comedy more (and the comedy was actually funny most of the time)... I mean, the way they tracked her down used two complete plot devices, but yeh, although it's poor writing, the way the characters reacted to it kinda let me feel like the show at least acknowledged it. The little monologue Manabe thought whilst he was trying to (presumable) to Kotoura actually fairly decent, it wasn't over the top like usual is what I mean.

So I thought I'd finally found an episode of Kotoura-san where I didn't have much to complain about.... but then I didn't count on Moritani turning up this episode. I knew that the way they'd resolve things with Moritani was going to be outrageously stupid and sudden, there's weren't many reasonable ways for them to resolve it, and I know by now that the writers aren't bothered enough to make it logical, so yes, I figured it would be stupid.... that didn't stop me laughing out loud when it happened though.

I will say one thing, the show did sorta go "lol, this is stupid" when Manabe said "What? I'm the bad guy now? Wasn't I the victim?", I'm not sure whether I should be okay with that though. Moritani is a loathed figure by many, and all that she did wrong (bullying Kotoura and getting Manabe stabbed beaten up) is just forgotten in the blink of an eye because she starts crying and the music comes on and instructs you to forgive her.

What really gets me though is that suddenly she is a completely different character. I don't deny the possibility that she may have had an epiphany, but my god it's like the creators went "Okay, let's scrap her personality and create a new one from scratch that the viewers will like", and just went ahead with it, giving us no development (I think we're lucky to have received the mere hint that we did that this had happened at the beginning of the episode).

At least it will stick to comedy now... right? RIGHT?!!

I was grossed out by the grandpa at first but then I just let it go and said "no no this is anime logic"

Anyway, the part I found the funniest was the end where he was like "wut. I'm the bad guy now?" and then he got shoved into the background XD The music at the end gave me feels ;w; so touching that she was able to find a place where she's accepted at last
