All the characters in the triangle are suffering at this point. Now that's how you make a romantic drama.

WOW GREAT EPISODE!

It's the first time in anime that I support a love triangle. It was so sincere and felt a little bit real. The 3 protagonist really are suffering. Great show so far.

Haruki is pissing me off to no end. At first, I thought he would just end it with a hug, but the chump goes for the kiss. I say "okay, just do a little peck on the lips to get your point across, then back away". Next thing you know, this guy is doing tongue twists and all kind of tricks in her mouth, wtf!

Haruki is just not a good guy in my opinion, how can you do that? I've been in those positions, but you don't disrespect your girlfriend like that. That is malicious....

This show pisses me off to no end.......but I can't get enough...

Damn, what an emotional episode. I feel really bad for Touma, but I also feel bad for Ogiso. But you can only have one, Haruki! Who do you love more?

Oh shit, Haruki is playing some dangerous game here... I have a feeling he will admit what he did to Setsuna. I also get a feeling that it will not be a happy ending.

The background story was really well done. As I said in my last post, something did happen when they met after the concert. But I didn't know they that they were so close even before when they played the three of them without knowing each other.

That kiss and slap were perfect. So much confusion.

I could see a red silhouette on the classroom door when Kazusa was running out of the music room.

Love is just damn complicated man. Now I really want to finish the last two episodes and see how it ends.

Those tears :'( well not everyone can win still it's sad to see a love triangle like this develop into sadness :/ especially if the person in question doesn't stay true and has to result to the action at the end :/ It's nice an all but still... why if you already have someone?

Pretty nice development in general, let's see what's next!

Intense.

Though as sad as this is for me to say, I think Setsuna got this in the bag now. All the stars are aligning, but hopefully I'm wrong. (though there isn't really a bad choice at this point)

Ever heard of a wry smile? I think I've just experienced "wry laughter".

So Touma sneaked a kiss in herself on the concert day... Feh. This whole situation is so sad. ._.

Is it just me, or did it seem like that hug had more feeling than Haruki's first kiss with Setsuna...? In any case, he should have left it there. Kissing Touma like that after being with Setsuna for so long was insensitive and offensive. He deserved that slap.

"How many times have you kissed Setsuna?!"

There's no way this is ending well, is there? I honestly can't picture it.... Haruki just cheated on his girlfriend on her birthday. If he goes back to her, this won't end well. If he leaves her for Touma, it won't end well. If they both dump him, it won't end well. Someone gets hurt in any sensible scenario. x.x

I know one thing for sure. Haruki better get his head together fast. If he doesn't settle once and for all who he loves, everyone loses.... That would almost be too awful. ;-;

Asss (sory i have lisp today) her skirt dropped so did my score for this bland piece of crab.

There's really nothing i like about this series besides the music. The characters are bland and don't talk or even act like real people so i don't care about them at all.

Plus i just find the male lead repulsive.

I think i make it a new rule for me to not watch anything based on visual novels because these shows are always just pandering.

This whole episode was almost flashback. I was wondering when we were going to get to the present.

So Touma kissed Haruki first. Damn. When Touma was running away after that kiss she stole you can barely see Setsuna standing inside Music Room 1. You can only see part of her red jacket. It around the 11:40 mark.

The only way I can see this ending is everyone going there own seperate ways.

Damn Haruki. Why did you kiss Touma when you're already dating Setsuna. Go to her! Stop making her wait!

2 episode left. Where is this going to go.

The term of flashback the story takes on a more satisfying and interpersonal relationships, albeit slightly, are more believable.
But the best part and right in the final, where it is understood that the words do not have the same weight of the shares or vice versa and that Kazusa; she has not once but ten times more charismatic character as compared to that pathetic Kitahara.

@hiraeth_soul: Haruki is making a mess but also think about how sly Setsuna was confessing to him right after she saw Kazusa kissing him in the music room that night. She's also at fault. And Kazusa doesn't deserve him either. She lost fairly to Setsuna because of her playing tsun and yet she still tried to kiss him when Setsuna was asleep. All 3 of them are guilty of the mess they are in.

Although I never felt anything special for Setsuna as a character, I always gave her the benefit of being a sweet, considerate girl. But now it's confirmed in this episode that she was standing there and saw Touma kiss him. She knew how those felt about each other and still wormed herself in. That would be understandable, but what is unforgivable is that she insist the 3 of them do stuff together (hot springs anyone? ) knowing how she felt. Totally inconsiderate.

And yeah, Haruki has now added cheating to being stupid and obtuse about his feelings.

There's no way he should have kissed Touma there. You can't define that as anything other than cheating if your initiating kissing with other girls when youre already in a relationship.

I think part of it I understand. That I think when Setsuna confessed to Haruki it caught him by a huge suprise it looked like he was pretty oblivious to her feelings until at least when she was hugging him on the train and then the confession. He probably liked both of them and but chose Setsuna , but now is having doubts after noticing how much Touma trying to distance herself and her confession seemed to have galvinized his feelings for her.

But even so that was a terrible move. I mean if he really discovered he truely liked Touma a lot more than Setsuna after that confession scene and flashbacks, he should have been strait up with her and tell her he had to do a clean break up with Setsuna first ..

I just hope Haruki won't continue to be indecisive for the last episodes. At this point he made everything uber complicated by kissing Touma but I would just apologize like hell , just break teh relationship with her, and stay with Setsuna ..ugh xD

How different the story would have been if Haruki woke up while Touma took his first kiss - probably not very much since she'd choose her mom over him anyday.
I still feel bad for her liking him long before Setuna and being punched in the face by what she wanted to do over and over.
Yet again, it's another one of those common anime/vn situations.
I hope what I think happens in the next 2 eps doesn't

Serves him right the cheating little s***. I always did want it to be Kitahara and Kazusa but I really dislike the way he's been treating both of them recently. Ever since he gave into Setsuna kissing him he's been acting so terribly. I mean it's so clear that he wasn't even really into her and yet he's just screwing around with her because she's basically throwing herself at him.

That kiss just felt so wrong.

HE DOESN'T DESERVE KAZUSA ANY MORE

It's gotten to the point where I don't even know who I ship any more or who I want to end up together. I'm starting to consider if I even like Kitahara any more. I feel like it's just going to be down hill from here. I really can't see how they're going to bring Kitahara back up from this. Which is such a shame considering how nice he was before all this relationship stuff started.

Can we pls rewind back to that night after the show and re-do this mess?

The drama in this anime is better than 99% of romance anime. It feels so real unlike most romances. Also while I don't like haruki he isn't the one at fault, it's that bitch setsuna. I had no problem with her taking away haruki from touma but the fact that she wants to rub it in front of her face knowing clearly that touma is in love with haruki while she pretends to be innocent. you can't get bitchier than this.

Strong work, player Haruki! So glad he didn't wimp out with just a hug. Touma loved it too.

Now drag Touma over to Setsuna's and have an all night party! Setsuna is better btw

All this childish nonsense, Setsuna got in 1st so they cheated on her. Now we know the truth. She cheated them. The love story is Haruki and Touma. They fit best and brought the most out of each other. The piano and guitar moment at the beginning is one of the best depictions of love i have ever seen. Setsuna hasn't got a patch on these guys and she knew it. Anyone rooting for her is either happy to have subservient girlfriend or happy to claim someone, as if it's a race, when they know they love someone else more. Haruki needed to have more confidence in himself and everything would have worked out. But Setsuna knew the truth early on and still wrecked everything.

It's pathetic for some people to start shouting about cheating. Firstly, they are kids. Secondly, most people have had a crush but settled for someone else cos they didn't think they had a chance. He should have told his girlfriend first but he didn't. Probably down to misplaced guilt ano the fact it was her birthday. Not to mention what she had told him before about being hurt when her boyfriend dumped her for another girl. She might well have done the same thing then.

So basically Kitahara always had an admiration for Kazusa,so it doesn’t matter even if it’s late.
Damn, forget everything, that kiss is something hard to forget. Love is a sin looks like, and we sinners do like stretch it over and over.

damn so complicated :O But I knew that it will happen. Didn't expect that she will go "how many times you kissed Setsuna" :D
I think they will be together when the story ends, but I wonder what about Setsuna, kinda worried about her. Maybe it will even end with him being alone? ;o

Yeah I'm blaming Haruki for all of this. I don't think you've realized this until now but, you've always had your eyes on Kazusa. Ever since that first meeting, I know for sure that you love her. Even Setsuna saw it yet you didn't do it. I really don't understand why you picked Setsuna over Kazusa knowing that (maybe not). Every time I look at both you and Setsuna, all I see are lies. That isn't something I can support. I'm sure Setsuna knows that too. She's being selfish and disregarding Haruki's feelings. That's just how I see it. From my perspective, this is a tragic* love story of Haruki and Kazusa with Setsuna as the obstacle.

This is very sad, for all of them, Haruki loves Kazusa but he knows it's too late already, their hug and their kiss was enveloped with pain, I feel sad for him, I like him as a character, very humane, like a real person. It's painful to see Kazusa suffering so much as well, I just love her, their beautiful and platonic love turned into a tragedy when Setsuna entered in their lives, but at the same time it was only because of Setsuna that they formed a real bond with each other, I love her character so much as well, she knew she would be left out so she had no other choice, and Haruki couldn't reject Setsuna and Kazusa couldn't convey her feelings, it's impressive how Setsuna is actually a very strong and resolved character, you can't help but respect and love her, Haruki and Kazusa are much more weak and faltering in comparison, which also makes you fall in love with them. In the end, everyone is completely miserable, only pain and suffering remains.
