Good episode. Some pretty funny parts. The whole breasts thing was kinda awkward, but funny I guess.

Ending scene was interesting, Kanzaki get stood up?

Edit: Apparently she got dumped! Ahh.

It seems like Risa is blackmailing Otani with all of her crying. I'm looking forward to next episode, though, just to see what happened.

Yeah, she broke up with her boyfriend or got dumped or whatever ... so the next episode should be interesting. I thought this episode was pretty funny. I thought that they were going to kiss at one point ... Hmmm.

This episode made me laugh so hard with the "SHOW YOUR BREASTS" parts. Ahh, good times.

Next episode looks like its gonna be the climatic drama! Kanzaki ruining everything!

This episode made me kinda sad...I dunno it just somehow brings so many memories to my mind but that's only personal. Otherwise this was pretty funny episode but I don't like the next episode preview, I hate episodes with ex's in them screwing around >__<

As usual, I thought many scenes were better portrayed in the manga. :(

But anyways... really funny! "Show your mental breasts!" xD

Heh... mentally bare your chest. It was real funny how they mentioned it throughout the episode. And getting hit by a basketball. Have any of you been hit by one of those? If freaking hurts! Still, I love playing...

yeah...i've been hit too many times (mostly cause i don't pay attention and completely suck at sports)...i usually just stick to HORSE when it comes to playing basketball...lol...

anyways, this episode was good...i was expecting more when they locked risa and otani together but as expected, that scene just ended up making otani more of an idiot... v_v; mental breasts win though...rofl... :D

looks like there will be more drama in the next episode...i'm wondering how it will work out...

I didn't get the breast reference, maybe a japanese joke :P

Well, that locker part didn't produce that sparkle Nobu expected. Mmmm, what did they do in that in that locker, Ootani and Kanzaki? ;)

I like that Ootani doesn't skip a chance to embarrass her. God, those declaration really backfire at her xD

So from the preview and from what I thought, Kanzaki separated from her boyfriend and well, I guess we can all see it coming, she will probably want to get back with Ootani.

I know Risa feels awkward and embarrassed around Otani, but I wish she would stop freaking out over every little thing! I think by "bare your chest!" her friend just means to stop running away and spazzing out, just act calm.

whats that?
----


risa is getting annoying. her angsty feelings, flipping in and out of confidence...realistic or not, this is still so annoying. i also find their relationship awkward, since they're not just friends anymore - risa is just waiting with baited breath for her feelings to be reciprocated and that makes it feel awkward. i would probably stay away from her for a while if i was otani.

and after everything, it was funny but i still don't understand the concept of baring you chest...

and otani's ex looking deep in thought...wonder what it is. onto the next ep to find out!

I am surprised that no body talked about how much of an ASSHOLE Otani was this episode. seriously. he was plainly mocking her love and joking around and kicking her while she is down. i would have been decimated if i was her. it was sad to me and it pissed me off.

I was enjoying the show, but at this point idk anymore. It sounds so wrong. I'm sad.

LIke, she said what she had to say, she was like crystal clear, and he just didn't react.If after that he did not give an answer, she should accept and stop insisting so much. And especially, her friends (Nobu mainly) should stop insisting so much. There is no point in locking them up if she has already done everything she should and has not gotten anything. All this crying and drama is just embarrassing. And the way he treats her, without any care at all ... gross. ARGH.

"is this the way to treat the boy you supposedly like?" Daaamn.


Nobu is seriously crazy, kicking, shouting out loud quotes like that, and trying a Eric Cartman plan of kidnapping people into a locked gym room to set them up some years before Cartman himself. But this time, it didn't work. And a basketball game will always be better than any kind of c-word december holiday season, even Risa rightfully told she hates it at a point.

Girl shut up he's not obligated to return her feelings and all this things about her crying and stuff or take everything too seriously is probably making him feel uncomfortable and guilty which he shouldn't not his fault he doesn't like her,she is entitled to confessing her feelings but he's not obligated to return it.

Glad to see they managed to get a picture with Umibouzo. I thought they had forgotten. Haha

Interesting. They explored the insecurities that could arise from the comparison of past & present actions of a person during courtship or dating. I remember my sister talking to me about this stuff about her boyfriend. She thinks her BF didn't treat her as special as his ex.

I hope Haruka will try to date Risa to level the playing field. I feel Risa is always at a disadvantage with the one-sided love affair. I would be dating Risa based on her efforts alone! I'm the kind of guy that likes to return kindness equally!

That scene of Risa giving Ootani a gift and then him suddenly asking her if she really likes him that much nearly brought me emotional tears again. Haha
