| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yuuri is kinda fun to watch in this series.  I think she and Futaba has a connection there. It was cute how Kou covered her tears though so others wouldn't see Futaba crying. Good to see her grow more confident :3 |

| Yay! They put in the cops and robbers scene! Beautiful episode. Seeing Makita-san in animation...she strangely reminds me of Komugi from HxH. Just get that vibe from her. Gah, that scene when Kou hides Futaba's tears (which left me fangirling for like 20 minutes in the manga)...I had to pause and let the moment soak in. Just so beautiful. Grrr, stupid shoujo anime makes me wanna see my boyfriend. >.> The issue of Makita's cuteness being "fake"...really reminds me of one of my favorite quotes. It's from Maurice Ravel: "Does it not occur to people that I might be artificial by nature?" Everybody always says "be yourself," and while we have some set personalities, we also act different to everyone around us. I act cuter with guys than I would with girls too, but I don't think that's a bad thing. You just want to be liked - everyone does. It's an interesting topic. Can't wait for next week! |
| The opening is so beautiful I'm so happy they put more of their past in this episode instead of the other, because it makes a nice parallel with the hug scene Ugh i wish these episode could last longer I also find yuuri less annoying in the anime |
 |
| Good episode. Looks like she has gained a new friend now. That hugging moment between Kou and Futaba was nice. |
 |
| The funny faces resembles so much the ones from manga,I love it. |
| Beautiful. Really good episode. Only the second episode and Futaba stop playing at friends. Kou with the hug. It was unexpected. I thought she was going to look down. Now I'm really hoping they come closer together. Plus adding in some things from the past made me want it even more. Hope to she more of Yuuri too. Can't wait for next episode. 4/5. |

I love that scene so much XD I agree with the "be yourself" topic, and I like how it was brought up in the conversation between Futaba and Yuuri. I think most people, if not all, have many personas and act differently around different people. But yeah, I don't see it as a bad thing either, as long as you're not being entirely fake. At least Futaba realized in the end that friendship doesn't mean much without trust. Good thing Kou made her realize that and she didn't blame him either. That OP though, I really like it! Especially the very last moment with Kou and Futaba, too cute! |
| Liked it quite a lot :D Also loved the OP <3 That was some nice development on Futaba's side. Loving her. She told her "friends" her true feelings which led to them realizing they don't fit. Liked the way it was handled without any drama or anything. And newly found friendship was cute too. Hopefully she'll have real friends from now on where she can show her true self ^^ And finally the development with already calling Kou by his first name :D That usually takes 4ever in Shoujo XD So nice to have it this early on. Kou's reaction was nice and loved the hug scene. I'm liking Kou's personality quite a lot. |
 |
| Really nice so far. Glad she got rid of those "friends". Yuuri is so cute. |
 |
| Im glad that Futaba has made a good new friend who she can finally trust, I didn't really like the other two people she was hanging around with. The bit where Kou hugged Futaba was really good too. |
| They put the cops & robbers scene in!! I officially have no complaints with this anime now! |
| Oh my god, I love Futabas facial expressions xDD The hug was really cute, I like how Kou is so cold but suddenly turns nice~ Kaji Yukis voice really does fit him well. Can't wait for the next episode. |

| great episode. it's relaxing and production ig did a good job with the show |
| Damn this is so sweet. My heart can't take it. This is why I don't watch a lot of anime like this (maybe also because this is shoujo and I'm a guy but I digress). I'm such a hopeless romantic. |

| Good episode, great animation and adaptation :) Since I read the manga recently, I remember almost anything but it's still great. |
| I'm learning English so maybe I make mistakes :) |
| What everyone else has said. A great series so far to be sure. I can't wait to see how everyone develops over the course of the coming episodes. |

| I'm in love. Again. This anime is perfect. It's like reliving the manga, but just different enough to where it doesn't feel old and dull. I don't have any complaints. I think they adapted the manga near perfectly. |

LittleStar said: That hug scene which make me start to like this series! I really like how they did it in anime! Perfect! <3 Just like you said, this anime is perfect!!! I can't wait to see the others scenes of Kou x Futaba. if it continues like this, this anime is going to be one of my favorites. ^^, |
 |
| That cops & robbers scene really was sweet. And I like all the faces she is making^^ Good to see that she separated from her "friends", I'm sure it's better that way and I hope she becomes a bit more like she was before ( but not too much xD). It's really a nice show, I'll continue watching this. |
| When I saw Yuuri's character design, I don't liked that her eyebrows look like there are on her hair, when I saw PVs and first time episode with her, I don't liked... and now I re-watch this episode again and it looks like it doesn't bother me any more xD Maybe I get used to it xD |
| It's realy great. I'm loving it, One of the best animes this season. Btw, who's that guy that looks like Kou? |
LittleStar said: That hug scene which make me start to like this series! I really like how they did it in anime! Perfect! <3 Same here very touching moment. |
 |
| great episode..love the character designs. the hug scene was great ) but damn her class mates are a pack of bitter bitches ^^ |
| Wow I'm truly liking this. At first I thought I got only the successor to Bubbles and Sparkles animation wise but it seems it has its own thing going on with the characters also. Futaba truly has grown so far and I'm amazed at that. Nice for that girl who was shunned standing up for herself also. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Futaba you silly lil pervert... sniffing Kou like that XD. You ended both being caught by the police team lol. Even if you didn't see what happened a good friend would've never doubted Futaba... or am I the only one that acts that way towards his friends hm... Freaking... you're not even willing to help her out... worthless friends... a friend in need is a friend indeed! Yuuri is really cute and a nice person :3 Ohooo, Kou is really smart it seems. Damn you Kou! Why didn't you help out Futaba with those things?! Another hard to deal with girl... Murao... and a poor guy this time in Kominato... Good job Futaba! Teach those two a lesson! LOL, Yuuri XD. Um... you could hang out with Yuuri now, you do know now, don't you? Futaba, don't cry T.T Awwww, Kou helped Futaba out :3 Ohooo, good job Futaba! Calling him Kou already! Awww, Futaba an Yuuri are now friends :D This episode was really good :3 |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| I can't, I just can't hold all these feelings. The hug scene was just *oh my heart*. I need the second episode now. |
| I love this series! xD I'm gonna pick up the manga soon since this got me interested in how it goes. Then again, I don't want to read ahead! I don't know what to do atm. xD That aside, this episode was great! That little scene with Kou and Futaba is just cute as heck! So feel fuzzy at that moment. xD Like Barakamon, this will be one of my favorites this season no doubt about it! |
| Really liking the show so far. It really has the potential to be something great. And that opening is just beautiful. :) |

| Memories may fade, but that doesn't mean there isn't any point in making them. |
| Wow, I loved this second episode! It was very touching! It made me laugh, and it made me cry. Can't wait to see how everyone develops and what relationships happen. |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| I was wondering if they'd show the cops-and-robbers scene! Those scenes with Kou and Futaba, esp. when they were at the window, were so adorable! I'm glad all non-manga readers are loving it! I love how it's following the manga exactly! |

| Fantastic episode. This had a lot of emotional depth and the characterization is really good. Also, I really love Maaya Uchida. |
| Really good series . Ballance between sadness and hapiness was excellent in this episode . I'm happy that Futaba told her friends her true feelings . Maaya Uchida really fits romanse anime , i like her . |
| "this makeup's pretty great, huh? ...wait a sec isnt she pointing at clothing? :o |
 |
| I like Yuuri's "Serves you right~" so cute! |
| Another excellent episode |
 |
| Kou is my kinda man.....sigh. This is turned out to be such a cute anime! I think I REALLY need to read the manga....I'm loving these vibes. |
