| What a awkward friend zoning |
 |
| Taiga is a little more likable now. If she would get rid of her bratty personality, then I'll be indifferent to her existence >-> anyways, I don't see what's so appealing about Kushieda. Ryuu has horrible taste. She's a weird girl :/ |
| I'll keep watching to see where this goes, but the show isn't really my thing. |

Zadion said: Taiga is such an ass it frustrates the hell out of me, but she had so many cute moments I can't hate her. Very well said :)) I feel the same. I have not read the manga and I do not think that the pacing is too fast. It seems rather natural. Maybe the characters are simply not so blindly and cowardly cliched. |
| I think that things go very fast..i didnt expect ryuji to feel something for taiga so fast..but anyways lets see.. |
 |
| They're pretty unsubtle with where this is going to lead smh. |

| Why does this episode feels like a finale? Pacing was ridiculous |
The poor bird Ruuji has makes me feel sorry for it xD come on... I don't want to see that poor animal. It's like it's suffering. Sent to friendzone Level = Kitamura. Dude, that was too damn smooth. I was like... WHAT!? I'm liking the anime, and the episode was nice too. It show's how people's attitude comes because of their experiences and surroundings. It was a sweet scene the one of the pole. Now, it was really funny how Minori was all serious and dramatic when "giving" Taiga to Ruuji and then Kitamura appeared in the roof acting almighty from above jajaja.

| Kitamura is a bit weird, he didn't show any feeling when she confessed. |
 |
| Oh, the usual "I'll help you confess to my best friend and help me with your best friend, too, but we're gonna fall in love with each other soon that we'll forget them and let's be together". Pfffft! I know that's where the story is going, but I'll hold onto this for Kushieda. I love her. I mean typical romance anime, what do I expect? Hehe. Holding onto this for Kushieda! Laaaawd! |

It's only the 2nd episodes dude.... Taiga was quite a bit more likeable in this episode than the last. That's a good sign I thought it was pretty cool that Taiga was able to confess that quickly...you know how like some shy anime girls take fucking forever? I was kinda afraid it would be like that. Unfortunate that she got friendzoned, but I guess the Ryuuji x Taiga ship couldn't sail without that happening. I'm kinda confused by Ryuuji's behavior. His little speech at the end sounds like something he would say if he was interested in Taiga but he said he wanted Kushieda? Unless he like felt bad and still wanted to be close to Taiga. Taigas confession was more like saying i love Ryuuji then i love Kitamura & Kitamura was the only one who so that (relied her true feelings) & Taiga & Ryuuji were blind about it lo that shy he was emotionless TsundereHeart said: I'm kinda confused by Ryuuji's behavior.

Unless he like felt bad and still wanted to be close to Taiga. taigas confession to Kitamura was same :D its clear they are starting to develop feelings for each other paste on Taigas confession & Ryuuji's speech they think they like Taiga Kitamura & Ryuuji Minori, but reality is they are starting to like each other that way & haven't realized it yet, in this anime we have 2 clueless chars not one |

| She got friend zoned too bad but the mcs were made for each other. |
| Ok, Taiga has a short temper and takes her frustration out on whoever's nearby, but not oblivious to the value of someone who's been there for her. Ryuuji seems like he can see past it and take the hits. So quite compatible |
pretty funny love story !! i'm fall in love with this anime |
| Wait so... the hell is going on with that bird. I am re-watching this and I don't remember THAT... no seriously, wtf is going on here? |
 |
| The pacing was a little fast, but this was much better than the first episode. |
| Now that I think about it, I think I wanted to have a mean look likes Ryuuji so that people will be scared of me |
 |
| Taiga was friendzoned by Kitamura. That scene was a bit awkward xd. Well, it seems that the misunderstanding between her and Ryuuji was cleared up. |

notsomacho said: Wow, this guy's a fucking pushover. Why try to be friends with an obnoxious little cunt who disrespects you? she really is not but acts that way cause she is shy and tsuderer and he sees it |
| Very messy episode, also it feels like we missed the best part of Taiga teaching the class a lesson. |
| So she can be more likeable... also even as the story is a precursor it still gives something new for me even though I've watched few highschool anime it may be unique still it doesn't enchants me yet |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| That pole did nothing wrong. It didn't deserve that. |
 |
| Well. That moved a lot faster than I thought. I'm not going to judge too harshly, but I did read some of the other answers in this forum and people mentioned they skipped A LOT. I will take into consideration what Taiga said about not giving up, so at least that goes to show that they're not just pushing her crush out of the way to make room, for. well, the main romance story. I made the decision to switch to dub for a few minutes (I'm watching on Netflix). And, I will say that I was a little surprised to find out that Johnny Yong Bosch does the dubbed voice for Kitamura, so it felt a little odd because I basically felt like I was hearing Lelouch Lamperouge, Ichigo Kurosaki, and Itsuki Koizumi all at once. (Yes, I switch between dub and sub.) Regardless - nice episode, maybe moved a little too fast though. |
 |
| simple episode, I still cannot decide if I like this anime or not. I don't want to drop it, it is only 12 episodes long! |

| Decent episode. It felt rushed though, and it felt kind of awkward in some of the scenes. |

| Seems to me this is going to get good. Taiga and Ryu scene eating cookies and kicking the pole was sweet. Poor Taiga got friend zoned. But it looks like Taiga isn’t going to ditch Ryu. |
 |
| Damn, this is really good. The OST is on a very high level! Furthermore I do not agree, I think the pacing is perfect. And there was already a lot of character development in 2 episodes. |
| They casually almost look like a couple because of how they frequently are together even eating And they really do make a good pair for being the "delinquents" of the school Taiga messed up that confession well at least Ryuuji will stay by her side. |
  |
| Everything just felt so spontaneous and oh boi already confessed? well being bold is great and all but that build up... |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I think it was kind of cute how we get a little switcheroo like this. It also adds a layer of realism to the plot since we don't always realize our feelings until we say them out loud or talk to someone about it. Taiga didn't realize how much she liked Ryu until Kitamura actually asked her. This is really cute <3 |
| That Dragon speech by Ryuuji was so cringe that he deserved that kick by Taiga. |
| This episode flew by so quickly. Taiga got rejected, but she's still not quitting! I also love Ryuuji's kindness! |
