That said man people are way too fucking harsh on natsume just cause she liked someone else before. Do you people really think just cause you liked someone else before you are no longer allowed to change those feelings or in her case realize the close friend you've had all this time might be something more. Thats just how relationships work.

Biut is this how love works? Do they love him? DOES HE LOVE THEM?

Eita has shown no signs of being attracted to Ena. I've been MioxEita since the start of the series and it seems like that's the way it's going to pan out. Hopefully Haruto gets his girl towards the end too.

Nice episode.. finally they focused on Natsume's feeling..and we got to see Izumi X Natsume moments..

But I dunno why most anime fans are always like that.. when a heroine of any anime has a female rival they will always ship the rival saying that she is more fun & cool and the heroine is pathetic.. forgetting that the reason of creating the rivals in majority of anime and manga world are to make the main characters realize their feeling NOT to make them end up together..

I'am sure if Komiya was the main character and Natsume was the rival..they will simply ship for Natsume... people always walk against the wind ..

For me I ship for Natsume X Izumi strongly and I hope they will have more moments and end up together simply because they deserve each other..

Unlike some random girl you have just met like Komiya who knows about Izumi's feeling for Natsume ... and was playing with it when she was sending Natsume's photo to him from time to time.. and in this episode she selfishly asks Natsume to date Izumi..

As for Natsume, it's more realistic for her to feel confuse..because she was trying to move on from liking Souma and she has to focus on her tests.. So it will be fake for her to fall in love with Izumi directly especially seeing how vague Izumi is about his feeling..

I really like that scene on the train when Eita asks some test questions, although I kinda feel that the scene leading up to it is not that good.

Now I wonder who should I ship more with Eita.

I quite understand why most of people here are rooting for Ena (I'm rooting for her too) but I think you guys are too harsh on Mio.

btw I'm looking forward to the next episode as Ena will surely ask Mio why she can't go out with Eita, and yes we all know that she won't be able to answer that.

Also looking forward to know more about Eita because actually we know very little about him. (apart from he is nice, easy to annoyed, introvert and often hurt by his own word)

The "Dame!" ...I'm pretty sure it's gonna take her few episodes to make a move even after saying that. Very original dialogue though. In other Anime, it would be "I think I fell in love with Izumi" but Komiya went like: "Bitch, I'm gonna ask him out, you got a problem with that?" :D

In case you didn't see this:

hana_san said:

And it's obvious why she's asking a permission. She's just a third party as she's aware of it and third party people always try a way to intervene into a relationship. Komiya's way is to destroy the incoming relationship between Natsume and Izumi before it happens. At least she's not trying to backstab Natsume since most people would backstab their friend if they found their crush is in love of their friend and more or less their friend also shares the same feelings.

Probably true because main girl generally carries with it symptoms of being a shitty character to drag out the plot and heartache/drama in usually nonsensical ways. Mio isn't a shitty character but she still has annoying qualities generally present in the indecisive main girl.

When it comes to the reply I understand that it was the end of the episode...so yeah we'll get her reasoning why next week but that was more directly angered towards that moment being the end of the episode and us not getting an answer right away

She rejected her request because she got jealous of Komiya on Eita's back, which resulted in her remembering that Eita was really nice to her in Middle school. However she was so blinded by her infatuation with Souma that she didn't realize Eita was close with her the whole time, until that moment.

So Natsume's logic is "Well while I can't be with Souma because I missed my chance (btw she had a 4 year period to confess and she didn't) I'll just ruin my Kouhai's chances of being happy as well. Because now all of a sudden Natsume has a revalation and has feelings for Eita while his feelings for Natsume have stayed the same for the last 4 years as well.

Again Pretty Trashy move on Natsume's part. Going from one guy to the next.

As for the amount of anime I watch. Listen here Junior I watch 18-24 currently airing shows a season. Feel free to check my list and make your decision on my tastes about Males and Females after you do your homework.

Also my hate for Natsume is there because I'd rather not have ANOTHER anime go down the cliche route of the Main protagonists being together at the end for story purposes.

His urge to run and help Natsume was really weird but otherwise it was okay episode. Still, have to say that Komiya and Eita has the best chemistry in the show, their dialogues are very natural (as opposed to Mio x Eita awkwardness) and it would be really weird if they didn't end with each other just for the sake of indecisive Mio who simply doesn't know what she actually wants.

I mean, come on, all the time she fails to acknowledge anything, rejecting his feelings and now when she saw them together having fun she's actually acting jelly saying the date is no-no? Sorry but that's not how the real life works and I would be honestly fed-up with this series if Ena backs-off because of her.

On the other hand, the relationship of Komiya and Eita is still barebones, they didn't have the time to grow anything deep, it's just liking right now so Mio can probably force-overwrite that if she wants. Still, I can't but favor Ena here, even the series was structured this way.

I like both girls but I prefer natsume. I understand where she's coming from and I think people are just hard on her cause she is confused and indecisive. Personally I'm watching her start to grow, while camera girl seems to be getting jealous now and is ready to make her move. Natsume who has finally realized her own feelings for Izumi is starting to move as well. Izumi also has no interest in Komiya. She's going to get her heart broken if this keeps up, I'm just saying.

I completely agree. Eita has shared many more experiences with Natsume aswell and Komiya is really the one who seems jealous because of how close they have gotten once again. Komiya is just confused and tried to find love fast; if anything she doesn't know her true feelings or Eita because she was too fast to choose him. Natsume has had lots of time and experience, and Eita has showed he cares for her. ;)

Natsume's finally realizing she likes Eita, huh?

Ena's too cute, and I respect her honesty in asking Natsume's permission to date Eita. As much as I ship Ena x Eita, in an episode like this one you can tell how much he likes Natsume. He's totally devoted to her, and he's always trying to support her. If Natsume likes Eita now, then it makes sense that the ship is going to sail.

I've been saying this over and over, but yet again Komiya Ena is undoubtedly best girl. I hope she asks Izumi out anyway, but since he's clearly into Natsume enough to coach her through exams I suppose that ship has sailed. Sucks...I'd love this show to have an unpredictable ending.

I do not, however, dislike Natsume. I get where she's coming from and there's nothing to hate. But I do prefer Komiya's personality and I can't say that I 100% cared for Natsume's total shutdown of Komiya's feelings.

Then again, Komiya probably shouldn't have even asked Natsume in the first place. They aren't really friends at all. But again, it's pretty clear that Izumi would say no. It's pretty much an academic question unless something huge happens (and I truly hope it does).

Hmmm. So Natsume found out she had competition. Well, I don't quite think that Komiya's really after Izumi herself though.

She probably finds it somewhat irritating that they're not together yet? Maybe something like that. Dunno. Well, either way, I do like Komiya. But even then, I want to see how the Izumi X Natsume shipping plays out.

The episode was great.

Too many comments here need Izumi to move from Natsume to Komiya.

Well, that poor move because Izumi keep his first love for many years and now he has a chance to get his girl and you need him to waste his chance.

I don't know where the logic things here as a man I love a woman I will do anything to get my love by using any chance in front of me.

Man, Japan has dealt with nuclear bomb, tsunami and seism, but they lose their mind over 3 little cm of snow. It looks like a regular november day to me.

I don't like Komiya. She just seeks attention from the mysterious transfer student. In fact, she started to like him because he was mysterious. It's a very weak reason to love someone imo and she's just desperate to find any reason to like him more, why she's always around him.

I don't understand how such a simple story can entertain me so much ... The Slice of Life genre is undoubtedly that I love most in the anime world, "human" stories with a daily scense, marked by problems, joys, sorrows that could happened to anyone in this world.

Mio's "dame" was fucking perfect. I think it can have two meanings based on context: 1, telling Ena to back off 2, something she said out of desperation, the first thing that came to her mind and she said that out loudly by accident. I'm thinking of the latter. Her whole head is a mess inside because of a sudden crush on Eita, combined with a frustration of the entrance exams... and now this. Kinda like "Can this just stop now?"

+1 basically this comment is bulls-eye!
