And another sad episode. :(
Both, Asa's and Nerine's story were touching.

Great character development here as well. With the pasts of Nerine and Asa in the light, things are surely moving along. Now then, off to Primula...hope she's okay ><

Who knew Asa-senpai's past was like that, makes me want to cheer for her all the more.

Have to admit, I thought this show was going to be crap, but really after the 12th or was it 13th episode, it got a lot better so it evens itself out. I haven't finished watching yet but to recap I think episodes 1-11 were about a C but episodes 12 and on have been A-.

Good episode with a lot of development.

Looks like Rin's got a lot on his hands now with Primula gone, Asa being sick, and taking in Nerine's story.

Rim so doesn't deserve the adoration of half of these girls. A lot of his "kind moments" always seem to come as afterthoughts, but this time in particular..

I was so irked that he only visited Asa because he WANTED something from her, and only AFTER it was recommended for him to even do so. Like, when Kareha asked him if he was asking for Asa because he was worried, and he replied with, "No, that's not it. I wanted her opinion on something." One of your best friends passes out in your house, is absent the next day, and you don't worry at all? Jeeeerk.

This is gonna sound so bad, but... Asa-sempai's mom is extremely cute. Her voice is also dripping with moe. Argh >.>

:(( Asa-sempai... that is a sad background... This is a great series. So many emotions.

This was a pretty good episode. Asa's my favorite character, so it was nice to see some of her past. Shuffle's definitely much better now than the first ten or so episodes were.

I DO have one problem, though; All of these girls are trying to be Rin's wife, yet they're all really good friends? It just doesn't make sense. You'd think at least one of them would get jealous or not like the others or something. I couldn't really see this happening with Asa or Kaede, but it would make the show better by a tenfold if it happened to Nerine or Sia.

Aww... I feel bad for Nerine, she holds a heavy burden on her shoulders. Asa as a child almost reminded me of myself... Weird, huh? But I still root for Asa-sempai.
My goodness... Ama is so cute, I just want to kidnap all of her hats, they're just too cute. Toeto complex...?
Finally, we get to go see Primula...

Komiya

Dropped. Stopped watching in the middle of the episode. This show is so bad it's unbearable. Rating dropped from 4 to 2.

New think about the connections, Nerine story of first subject, then Asa's mom always has her ears covered, then Primulas sickness & Asa's sickness (only difference Asa seems less sick, but is she really?), can u see the pattern, do u know were i'm going with this?

Ohh man, finally getting to see the world of devils. Although Nerine's story of Lycoris was sad, Asa's past really moved me. In a way, it really touched base with my own life and how I used to constantly lash out at my own mother blindly despite her support.

Wow, Asa probably has the best back-story of the entire series. Rin better go for her...

No sign of Primula?
We'll go.

Why?
It is our "family"

I can relate with Asa-chan's childhood. Being born and getting horrid genetic RNG is the worst. I really wish I was born in an era where genetic engineering is advanced. I want the best set of genes! I don't hate my parents though, I just hate how unfair the universe is to many people, including me, because of stupid RNG.

All the tragic backstories are coming out of the woodworks.

That being said, this is possibly one of the closet times I've seen to an anime showing an uncensored vagina. There are no details on it, but when Nerine is talking about the first artificial lifeform, Lycoris, and we see a pan up her body, you can clearly see a very specifically shaped area between her legs with a strategically placed crevice. I honestly had to pause and look because I thought this show was brazenly flashing muffin even though Japan has strict censorship laws.

I will say, for as fluffy as this show was leading up to this part, it sure is doing a pretty good job of delivering these more serious storylines. I might be enjoying this more now than before.

Asa continues to cement herself as best girl (in my humble opinion).

Glad to see Nerine getting a bit more character depth, too. I've found her to be a little bland compared to the rest of Rin's harem.

"I was thinking of only going to see Primula, but maybe I was being disrespectful of everyone's feelings".

Rin lets me down with notions like that. Primula is the girl who was taken away to the other world, and the one who could be deceased at any moment if her health worsens further. None of the other girls have any immediate problems or issues. It is more than acceptable for him to prioritise Primula in this case.
