Another fun episode with a nice flashback! Although I found myself being quite astonished at the following scenery,

it was also somewhat of a nightmare for Tooru. In general those Sakura petal scenes are a nice site to see but to Tooru it was like losing Run so I guess it was not supposed to enjoyable for Tooru.

Absolutely hilarious the following situation was,

mainly due to how everyone was in general, all nervous and their faces. Quite a good segment that one.

  • You got you to love that Tooru abusing the breasts of Yuko with a ruler in the spoiler
    oh my was that some fan service. Yeah Yuko has them big and it shows with that scene again. So who wants to be the ruler?

  • The new girl in the spoiler
    was quite interesting to see. Since her design is different from the other girls, it was enjoyable.

  • The segment of Run and her mother in the spoiler
    was quite hilarious TBH. Especially considering that Run jumped all around to get that something from her mom. No matter how I look at her mother, Run just looks exactly like her. The resemblance is phenomenal.

Tooru molesting Yuuko is kinda cute and moe.

Run's mom has those cloudcucoolander blank eyes as well.

Well 1 more episode remaining and it went by fast.

Poor Yuuko was the butt of the joke again. Pencil point to the eye in the entry exams, being forced to eat the Wasabi cake and being blurry in the picture. Funny stuff.

And I thought it was a nice touch that Run's mom had the same blank stare as her daughter.

I thought this was easily the best episode in the entire series, although it's not all that surprising given how Tooru-centric it was. Just off the top of my head, there was the Mama Run scene, Jenga, Tooru being dragged while trying to stop Run from walking into traffic, and everyone shaking for Yuuko's picture. Absolutely hilarious. I think there were a few more good laughs as well, and a number of cute scenes as well.

I think I wasn't the only one thinking they were picking on Yuuko quite a lot this episode? =P

Pretty nice episode, although not as funny as some others. The flashback part was nice though. Tooru must be quite sad because she will stay a high schooler for another year and the rest of the gang will graduate. =(

Yuuko is must have had a hard time in that school sitting in a strange school in a strange city with a strange girl next to you who shoots with pencils.
And now i know the reason for her dialect.
Tooru must have had a hard time as well teaching Run all those things to pass her exams.
It was pretty funny how Run's mother reacted when Tooru's plans where mentioned, seems she cared more about Tooru's future then that of Run.

a good episode where all the past events are showed....

never challenge a mother that love your friend much than you!


I have to say: same mother, same daughter


the epic Tooru-sensei: without glasses she isn't a true teacher XD


the cake. give it to her. NOW!


how could I refuse if you ask me with that gaze?


Rule no. 1: never take part to the tricks you have prepared!


Tooru is a bit perverted... I died in the scene with the ruler XD

This episode gave me a heavy feeling. Every week I watch this show and now they are showing the part where Tooru might be alone again when they graduate. It makes me sad as it reflects the mark that this show is coming to an end :( The characters grew on me, they are very amusing and very likeable. I can't believe there's one episode left...

I thought for a second it was going to be a whole story about how Run met everyone and how she ended up at that school. I feel like this episode fits in real life, how school is over and everyone is going different paths.

A lot of RunxTooru moments, although I wasn't too satisfied with the ending. "It's nothing" It's always something...5/5 otherwise, too bad only one episode left.

Very nice. I'm trying to catch up on all my second tier shows as the season comes to an end. This was really a sweet one, even though I didn't add it to my list until today I was watching it every second week or so. A nice light counterpoint to the finale I watched earlier of Anohana--no tears just nostalgic smiles.

An enjoyable episode even though nothing much happened. A good recovery from the previous episode, which dragged for me.

While we can see that they'll still have another year together, we know that a difficult day is somewhere beyond the horizon. Especially as Tooru watches Run's back as they walk.

I liked the two bits at the end... the other pair of girls who passed Tooru, looking so familiar, and then Run keeping a secret from her. Nice touches although the slow-motion was clumsy and heavy-handed.

Yuuko always ends up being abused, eh? :D Tooru teaching Run was so funny. :D
Also, when Run was taling about her dream (where Tooru is a baby) I was wondering how she would remember such things since she's older just by year. And then Tooru says that they met in elementary school. xD

Tooru's B-Day! x3 Run dropping the box that I thought contained the real cake...but it was actually just a regular empty box. xD You got me there Run! xD
One cake was filled with wasabi.....Oh wait! 2 Cakes were filled with wasabi: One eaten by Yuuko and the other....by Run! D: Oh no! :O

Anyways, ending was pretty sad: It looked like Tooru was thinking of Run graduating. :(

That was a nice flashback.

Aww, Tooru-sensei with glasses. So cute. :3

"For now, memorise all this." Poor Run. Well, she worked very hard and passed her entrance exams.

Happy birthday, Tooru! That cake looked delicious.

However, I wouldn't like to taste that wasabi cake, lol.

Tooru playing with Yuko's boobs was hilarious again.
