| LOL at Sawako's shoe fall over on Kurumi's head. xD && Still, Kurumi picks it. I thought she will throw it away. I still believe that Kurumi is not really a bad person. She just like Kazehaya~ And she's very jealous of Sawako. :D |

| KURUMI RAGE. D: |
| Kurumi is annoying, but I like her :( I love Sawako though, and Ryuu might like Sawako and he'd fight with Kazehaya for her and Sawako wouldn't even notice because she is unaware of everything like that (?)... well no. |
 Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living. |
| Kurumi showed her dark/true self. I found this episode interesting, a lot of stuff happened. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| LOL a very funny episode. Getting pretty intense! >:D |
 |
| o man this is grade A rivalry right here. but i know in the end kurumi wont win, she just doesn't have what she needs to win |
| Ume ruined my impression of her, she wasn't supposed to lose her cool until she actually lost! And her sinister plans aren't sinister enough! They are too simple, a simpleton could of thought of that! God dammit, she was much more awesome in middle school with her "Kazehaya belongs to everyone" plan. That was pretty genius. |

It's exactly the opposite :) her plan how to deal with Sawako was too complicated - or didn't take into account how her mind works... she is too honest and innocent which mixed with her way of thinking doesn't allow her to notice situation where she "should" act according to manipulator's wish. |
| Still too slow in its pacing but enjoyable nonetheless. Kurumi is an interesting character... |
 |
| Kurumi got pwned. |

| Kurumi is so horrible. I hope Kazehaya can see through her. So cute to see Sawako feeling part of the class. |
| i cant help but find kurumi a little annoying, but its nice to see her true self instead of the fake nice-girl image |
| Kurumi reminds me of Ami from Toradora. I always hated that witch. |

Was just thinking same exact thing :p although I don't mind Ami. @ Episode: It was hilarious how Sawako was looking around Tsurumi looking for the voice and all of the misunderstandings that ensued between them. Hmm, the end of the episode is making me wonder. My guess is Ryu does like or have an interest in Sawako and Tsurumi has picked up on that and wants to set them up so she can get Kazehaya all to herself. Starting to see Kazehaya getting jealous of Ryu being able to say Sawako's name and protecting her from the ball. |
 |
| Sawako should really try to think sometimes. The cute but dumb girl is kinda annoying... but still love her... especially in the soccer game... Chizu and Ayane are always adorable and supportive... xD Ume is a big bitch like always. Cunning, manipulative and just a sore loser. Wonder what will happen to Ryu and Sawako... Damn it Shota Y U NO MAKE MOVE OLREADY? 5/5 |
 |
| wohoo ryuu.. so badass and cool guy.. that moment when he catch the ball.. seriously.. in my country people will said "ANNNJAAAASSSSSS!!!" XD damn cool ryuu.. oh please kazehaya.. dont get misunderstand.. its not like sawako like ryuu or whatever... the one is wrong is kurumi :OO and DAMN ITS TRUE! ryuu has a feeling with chizu XD hoho.. |
| Don't see how people can even like Kurumi. She is just manipulating a socially inept girl. Low blow if you ask me. Passive aggressive bitches are the worst kind of people. She tries so hard too, which is the annoying part. Good god how desperate can she get. |
| I was torn on how to rate this episode because for the episode itself I loved it but Kurumi just pisses me off with her goodie toshoe act I hate it I hate fake people god just ask him out already n get rejected bc she wont learn until then it was just annoying how much she is trying to get hooked up with him at any cost. If she wants him she needs to tell him without using someone else to do it what will that achieve like seriously they will just think that u are a chicken sh*t but that is my opinion. I do get what she was saying about the if she knows if she gets the same feeling from other guys that did make sense but with her saying it just made her sound obsessive to get her away from him at all cost n didnt sound heartfelt at all to me |
 |
| I like Kurumi a bit more now that she stoped being an hypocrit with Sawako, but at the same time, she the kind of person I despise the most. She's not just a bitch, she the worst type of bitch, the manipulative one. Some bitch can be likable, like Ami from Toradora. But that kind of bitch, I just can't get to like that kind of person. I think we can all see what will be coming. Sawako will take word for word Kurumi advice and talk more to Ryu. Kazehaya will get the wrong idea and get jealous of Ryu. Tension will happen between the two, maybe even between Chizu and Sawako. only speculating right here. |

| Kurumi is going to be one of those people you hate but love at the end, just like Ami from Toradora |
 |
| The shoe... landed... on her... HEAD!! BUHAHAHAHHA, I can't stop laughing xD On top of that, it's getting even more shoujo-complicated xD HAHAH; Yay! :D |
 |
| That small smirk/laugh that you do when something 'bad' happens to Kurumi and something life changing happens to Sawako :3 I kinda have a feelings that Kurumi will somehow to be a good friend to Sawako cause she technically didnt do anything bad or hurtful to her, its just her overthinking things or her own decisions which lead to the 'bad' outcomes. KAZEHAYA! why you so cute to watch? :3 |
 |
| I like Ryu; Kurumi bringing him into the picture makes me feel bad for literally everyone else. Ugh I hate manipulative characters like her. At least Ayane knows what's up - if the entire cast was clueless I couldn't handle it (I'm sure Ryu will be able to see through this bullshit too). |
| Nice catch Ryu. Kurumi kinda has a point, but we'll see. |
lanachan said: I can't hate Kurumi. She's interesting. And Ryuu. I love Ryuu. <3 Sad to say, but only bitch can like bitch. You say that she is interesting? No she isn't. She is worst whore type. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Nice gameplay, Sawako. I just want to punch Kurumi with her evil plan. She wants to pair up Sawako and Ryu Sanada (he's not her type, I think he knows her true colors) so that she can get to Kazehaya's attention. SAWAKO, YOUR INNOCENCE. |
 |
| I've got to say, the way Sawako handled the situation was refreshing and indeed wasn't what I expected. I'm so glad she was up-front about her feeling that Kuzehaya is special to her. It's clear how much bolder she has become too in hanging around Kurumi anyway during the sports festival. Despite Kurumi's continued passive-aggression, I couldn't help but enjoy myself with this episode thanks to that. I'm not even worried about Kurumi's next plan to trying to make Kuzehaya jealous. It'll work out somehow. xD I'm having a lot fun watching this series. |
| Sawako-chan got the guts ~ !! Even if it's just reflex ~ >.< . It took awhile for them know it each other .. honestly ~ . Such a twist for a romance plot ~ . Pony Sawako !! Yata ~ . Sports festival is in a good pace . Cheer up teams . The Opposite effect is really working nicely ~ . Might lead to good relationships . Sadako is getting popular nowadays .. by her amazing afterimages ~ . VERY GREAT CHAPTER . They're in for another pairing ~ . |

| I don't really know how to feel about Kurumi. I can understand her feelings and it's refreshing to see a character that is not completely pure. However, the evil within her sometimes is too deep without any reason at all. Ayane is so clever! I love her. I always knew there was something weird about Ryu and that he would cause some trouble getting closer to Sawako. I hope this is only for dramatic purposes because I totally ship him with Chizu. Let's see if Ryu and Sawako getting awkward makes Kazehaya act!! He needs to take a step and be a little bit clearer. Thinking about it, 99% of the characters feel like angels, they are too good for this world. Guess Kurumi is there to balance that a bit. |
| Ryu's attempt on remembering Sawako's name was so funny I watched it over three times xDD |
 |
| That look on Kazehaya's face when the other guy saved Sawako, makes me think he watches a lot of romantic movies and knows this is how romance ensues. |
 |
| Kurumi's antics keeps backfiring and it's very satisfying. Seems she's getting desperate now though. Normally I'd get irritated by the underhanded tactic used at the end, but since it's RYUU, I may enjoy this in a comedic fashion. He is too good for either of them by default, and also a loyal bro; so I'm not worried in the big picture. I enjoy that Kurumi is revealing her more human side and opening up to Sadako, whether she likes it or not. They have their own chemistry. Onward~ |
 |
| Yess more screentime for Ryuu <3 I like his character and Kurumi is still annoying af o_o |
| So Sawako finally sees Kurumi’s true colors this episode. Kurumi wanted Sawako to support her as she sought after Kazehaya but Sawako turned her down. Yay. She’s says it’s because she can’t support her from the bottom of her heart that she won’t help her. Kurumi ends up blowing up at her, saying that Kazehaya is only nice to Sawako because she’s an unpopular girl and she basically has no business being his friend. Kurumi is frustrated because even though she a popular girl, she has trouble getting close to Kazehaya. Their conversation ends when Kurumi runs off In her blind rage. The sports festival starts the next day. Sawako looks so cute in her bun! Kazehaya gives her a fist bump for good luck creating an effect and making everyone fist bump her for their own luck. She starts to wonder if her feelings for Kazehaya are based on nothing but the kindness he has given to her. Girl no. Don’t let Kurumi’s words get to you.. Lol Chizu is a beast on the field. She was really killing it. Sawako makes an amazing kick but loses her shoe in the process. It lands right on Kurumi’s head LOL. Thanks to Sawako, Chizu is able to get the ball and score, making their team win. Kazehaya gives Sawako a big high five for her efforts and everyone cheers her on. Kurumi just watches on, seething with anger. Jealousy ain’t a good look girl.. Kurumi brought back Sawako’s shoe. And she wasn’t very nice about it either. I’m sure she had plenty of terrible things to say to Sawako but she had to keep up her facade with other people around. Poor Sawako is so dense, she can’t even tell when she’s being bullied lol. We find out that Kurumi hates her given name, Ume. But Sawako thinks it’s pretty. Kurumi looked pretty taken aback by that. This makes me wonder if a friendship is possible for them after all.. The two of them decide to watch Kazehaya‘ softball match together, though a little reluctantly on Kurumi’s side. Lol I think it’s funny that Ryu can never remember Sawako’s name. He went through so much just to remember her first name. A ball almost hits Sawako in the face, but Ryu caught it just in time. Kurumi saw this as a perfect opportunity. She wants Sawako to move away from Kazehaya, so it looks that she’s gonna try and set her up with Ryu. Let’s see where this goes... |
| It looks like you're running out of ideas, Kurumi. Now, you want to separate Sawako from Kazehaya by using Ryuu... but that clearly won't work since Ryuu already has feelings for Chizu so... just give up already, Ume-chan!! Anyways, it was another entertaining episode. I just love seeing Sawako being so clueless. Kurumi showed her real self to her because she dislikes her a lot but Sawako thinks it's because they're close friends... how adorable. And it seems Ayane will finally take part in the game, I wonder what she will say to Kurumi in the next episode. |
 the ways to make Sawako deviating from Kazehaya love route from Ume seem realistic, I mean she is just a manipulative person, but the feeling Sawako was feeling weren't or didn't appeared to be because he saved her but of love, so Ume plans won't work, but we'll see. |
| kurumi's hairstyle was so cute! also while i don't agree with her ways & how she's borderline manipulative towards sawako, i like how she is showing her true self to sawako, and sawako was so kind to her & trying to understand her, sawako is so sweet♡ that was SO funny when ryuu was trying to remember sawako's name with that memory technique i LOLed. he's so funny i love him! |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Kurumi is straight up a bad person, but at the same time I kind of feel bad for her, like I hope she actually evolves as a person to become likeable despite all this. |
Have a great day!  |
| I like how Kurumi got owned by Sawako's shoe lol. So, she's just really really jealous at the end. |

| How can you dislike someone as pure as Sawako? Even if you’re jealous of her, how can you possibly hold any sort of grudge against a person like that? It’s impossible! She’ll disarm you with kindness and and obliviousness! |

| Not the best episode really, nothing much happened, though I saw that precision shoe strike coming as soon as Sawako looked down at her bare white sock. I do think Kurumi would have been much more interesting if they didn't make it so obvious when she was being fake and bitchy. Having the manipulation slowly come to light would have been devastating. I have to skip the first few pages of these threads now because of the manga spoilers ruining it. Grrr. |
