^ She goes into a fit that would seem to be insanity, but it doesn't lasts forever. After that, she seems to suffer from rapid memory losses.

For example, after the conversation with her on the phone and leaving from the female conductor/manager's room, she was holding his hand prior to jumping on the train. This must mean she remembers that Asaba is the real Asaba even if only for that short time before getting to the beach.

I still dont truly understand why Asaba got angry at her in the first place. Was it because she kept repeating that thing? "Nothing Happened"? Was that really something to get so angry about?

I just want to punch Asaba's face and kill him. He should have known what he was getting into. Even if it was for an instant, this ripples seem to last forever.

I can sort of understand why Asaba lost it and said all those nasty things as he's still a kid and has had to endure a lot and shoulder a lot of responsibility in a short period of time. That said, I expected him to be a lot stronger than that and his moment of weakness seemed to push Iriya over the edge. Major disappointment. As for Iriya, it's tough to see someone steadily deteriorate in front of your eyes.

Who the hell is the mustache hobo-looking guy? He seems to know Asaba and for some reason wants his bag. Why?
He would go as far as attacking Iriya for the bag and after he leaves the school we see him in the phone booth most likely dead that alive from the blood loss. He resembles Enomoto but for the reasons above it can't be him.
So who is he? And what is his motive?

Hope for the best. Expect the worst.

That hobo dude was nothing more than a minor character. He realized he was living at a school so he went over there to steal his things. Upon doing so, he found asaba's bag with his name on it, hence why he was able to say "asaba told me to get it for him". He was merely trying to find a way outta getting caught red handed with stealing. Afte a chase, he ended up tryin to rape Iriya (or so it seems) but she fended him off by attacking him with a knife. After doing so, he escapes and attempts to call police and dies but not before revealing where iriya was hiding. He was also nothing more than one of the catalysts that caused iriya to lose her sense of time/memory/awareness.



At least that's what I got out of this episode. Last episode is next. I wonder how it'll end

The drawing was confusing, at first I thought that rapist was Enomoto and that woman in uniform was Shiina. But then found out that they aren't. And what's with that awkward moment of Asaba suddenly getting mad at Iriya? That felt really weird.
The window, the window shopping! Hooo!

Stupid Naoyuki, though I can't really blame him, after all he's still a kid.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought the random thief/rapist look like Enomoto since Enomoto's starting to look even more ragged and haggard every time we see him. XP
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

I don't know how to describe it exactly, but... this story feels strange somehow. Got a weird feeling while watching it. Lots of things happening in rapid fashion, and there's an entirely different mood now in it compared to the first half of the show.

I haven't been able to completely connect with the characters. That might be the reason.

Very bizarre and upsetting first half. Why did Asaba act in the worst possible way when Iriya was put through the attempted rape and had to resort to stabbing with the intent to kill. She was very worried Asaba would see her as "spoiled" it's unclear what he thought. Just freaked out about the whole situation and couldn't handle it.
A lot of the reactions and interactions between the two don't feel natural.

School Days with less perversity and more insanity equals this episode.
Not bad, but that's too much things at once, it must be a poorly made adaptation.

Ouch. Every anime has a beach episode and it seems like this series took it in a "meh" direction. Oh well
