| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Pretty slow pace this show is going, but not too bad Kasai's also getting more and more suspicious lel |

| >Uenoyama austisting prologue I like this episode already |
 |
| They're taking chill to the next level. |
| I wonder what's the secret that Mafuyu is hiding, the chicks were talking about it just before the end of the chapter |

| Another great episode filled with warm and fuzzy moments between Uecchi and Mafuyu! I really wanna hear Mafuyu sing for real so i can't wait for Uecchi to finish the song he's writing for him. |
 |
| Aww this felt like a date episode haha. Sato's face when Uenoyama said they were in a band together to the cashier was priceless!! I could watch this story unfold every day. Usually I am in a rush to get through the story - but this storytelling is so sublime. I really hope Kasai doesn't become problematic. Next episode is going to be interesting as the dynamic between Akihiko and Haruki seems to be the focus. |

|
| That ending was very abrupt, seems we also have a very jealous girl in the mix now, I have already been spoiled on Satou's past (won't spoil it for any other anime onlys) so I'm not really as jarred by that cliffhanger as some may be. |
 |
| This makes me curious |
 |
| Seeing Sato and Uenoyama at the music shop reminds me of the time I used to visit various music shops and look at the guitars. Somebody needs to tell that jealous girl to mind her own business because there is nothing wrong with two guys hanging out especially if they are in a band. |
 |
| I swear Mafuyu gets cute each episode π But I have to comment, some stuff in the episode was a bit filler but even so it blended so well with the episode that I actually liked it, but its next episode when its gonna get really interesting. |
| So "Mafuyu" totally stick and now Uenoyama is calling him like that T_T My poor heart. Mafuyu was CUTE AS HECK this episode, omg. The scenes where the girls see them and Uenoyama holds Mafuyu so he doesn't crash with people I'M--------- THE PREVIEW. KAJI X HARUKI. Hair. I'm----- Ughhhh. Great episode for the "Fluorescent Adolescent title" ;; ♥ The whole "There were rumors like that about him..." in the end.~~~ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I CAN'T TAKE I WANNA READ THE MANGA OH MY GOD |
 |
| Oh no, that jealous chick is up to no good. Hide your Mafyuys and other soft bois! Anyway, even though the episode was rather about hanging out and chilling, I am really fond of the chemistry between the band members, especially the original trio. Their conversations are so fun to watch. |
| β |
| Sato's is about to be unveiled, can't wait to hear the full story. But I don't understand why the girl is jealous if guys are hanging out with guitars, they are in a band for heaven's sake. Guys can be best friends, I've seen it a numerous times, If they were overly affectionate, then I would've understood. |

| They added a few scenes, and changed some others a little, but I think it works. In manga, you can't hear sounds, but in anime, you can. So, letting us hear it makes sense. I think, after the next episode, the girl will become quite a hated character for a week. I love how they're taking their time with character development, and not hurrying with the romance. This anime is so good that even a week's wait is painful. (The manga makes you wait a lot more, so that's even more painful.) |
| Slow-paced this time, but no worries, still a hella lot fun this episode! Shopping "date" for Mafuyu to find more gear, as depicted by Uenoyama. And as always, always try getting 2nd-hand stuff that is decent and worth the trouble without burning your pocket. Dat cliffhanger though...wad!? Just when it's about to get more interesting... Oh well, more revealing about Mafuyu Satou next episode. |
 |
| Rumours huh.. I can only spectaculate but it's nothing good I guess and seems to be bound with mafuyu's 'trauma'? Can't wait for ep 5 now tbh |
 “I don’t like expending more effort than I have to.” – Ayanokouji Kiyotaka |
| Quite relaxing episode if I'm honest. The story progression was slower than usual but I really enjoyed it nevertheless. Not to mention that I'm glad to see that the interactions between the main duo, Kaji and Haruki are still being as natural and entertaining as always. Next episode seems pretty interesting based on the PV. Really looking forward to it. |
| Now that was a wholesome episode. Beautiful panels and the use of music early on is so good. Poor Kasai though, I guess the only thing left for her is to ship them. At last, the little teaser promises a lot of background information. |
 |
| I almost felt bad for the girl who likes Uenoyama, but not really. It's better to have your heart broken early than to keep on creating expectations after all. I love how he reacted immediately to Mafuyu's voice though. xD But seeing her trying to wake Uenoyama up was enough to make Mafuyu feel anxious. Until he heard that Uenoyama was tired because he was doing his best to write a song for him, it was so precious. And I loved how Haruki and Kaji welcomed Mafuyu into the band with open arms, it was wholesome. Even Uenoyama bragging about Kaji's skill with the violin was precious. I feel like I'm becoming an 'Akihiko Fanboy' as well, I would love to hear him play it. Haruki might even get them a chance to perform soon. But he is still jealous of Uenoyama's sister. I don't blame him though, she is pretty and popular, it must run in the family. But Kaji doesn't seem to be head over heels for her, so... Oh, and Uenoyama and Mafuyu finally exchanged their contact info, it was so cute to see Uenoyama smiling after they decided to go and buy that effect pedal together. Uenoyama is welcoming Mafuyu into his world, and everything is new and shiny, and even those pedals looked cute. But Mafuyu was the really cute one getting all happy when Uenoyama told the clerk of the store that they are in a band together. Now I wonder how that girl from Uenoyama's class is going to react after hearing about that "rumor." I hope she is a good person and won't do anything bad. |
 |
| This episode was great and Mafuyu was so cute! I think we get some more about Mafuyu's past in the next episode! |
| Little changes and extended scenes in the anime were even better than in the manga imho. This ep was sooo goood. I wonder how much will they cover this season when manga has only 29 chapters (correct me if I'm wrong). And I read somewhere manga updates are pretty slow for Given. |
| Mafuyu's face when he heard Uenoyama composed his tune into a song was the cutest. Also it seems like he was a bit jealous of Kasai. The 'date' was really fun, Mafuyu's enthusiasm for guitars is so pure. I get the girl being jealous since she fancies Uenoyama, but I hope she'll back off when things are cleared up. |
| so like why are girls getting jealous by the two guys hanging out |
 |
| This show is probably the best romance anime I've seen so far as it takes things slow. The music themes of the show also make it more interesting. Mafuyu is the best and I love how cute he is in every episode. |

| Pretty nice chill episode. Satou confirmed gay I guess lol. |
Pacia said: EratiK said: From the context the girls were implying Mafuyu is gay. That's probably it but I want to think that it's going to be something more complex than just the orientation and have something to do with his trauma and why he was so scared of that blond guy in the previous episode There's waay more than that. (hope it doesn't count as a spoiler) |
| The show likes to take things pretty slowly but somehow the episodes go by really fast lol. I guess time speeds up when you enjoy things a lot more. I absolutely love the slow burn in this show <3 T_T |

| I'am in love with this anime and manga so I can't wait to hear the song heartbreaking by Mafuyu. |

| I really love this slow and lazy pace. It reminds me of a beautiful flower that is slowly unfurling - or a butterfly and its wings. They really don't rush anything but this is totally fine by me. Love the show. |
| Ueno's sister is pretending to be all cutesy-girly around her crush but at home she's going around in underwear like a madman and doesn't act cute one bit. gotta be careful with such girls good episode but the ending kinda leaves a bad taste in a mouth. how that girl is even jealous when the guy doesn't pay any attention to her. such entitlement. also not cute at all |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| When they were talking about their taste in music I automatically lit up when started taking about UK Bands because I'm a huge fan of them. My favorite British Rock Band is Queen because I'm fan of Freddie Mercury. |
|
| tfw you are so gay that you show no response to the cute girl who's trying to wake you up and only react to your future boyfriend. I really like that scene, the way his ears n neck flinched. The way he explained him about effect pedals was cute, too. Ritsuka's singing is good as well tho, he should do lead vocals at least. The way Mafuyu reacted to it, that was an adorable scene. The way Mafuyu reacted on Uenoyama dissing him lmao. They are lowkey going on a date. The way Mafuyu put that stick thing back on hearing its not used. And when the shopkeeper asked if they are friends, and Uenoyama was like "Yes, we are doing band together" Mafuyu's face there. That scene was cute, too. Oh, Satou had that kind of rumors. Nice. I mean, this is a gay anime to begin with, but still. Nice. This is my favorite episode yet. |
| I like the song names for every episode. |
| actually wanted to stop after this episode, but I can't after the teasing of Mayufu's past. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This is so cute and nice. I just... I just love how the characters interact, especially the guys in the band. It's fun and feels natural. |
