| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The Amakusa family have a strict but typical father in their household. Ichika's talk with their father kinda went how I had expected. It's good that they can be honest about people in their lives that they care about. The flower viewing event was kinda cute, and slightly sad. It was also a chance for to connect more with each other, especailly between Rio and Ichika. |
 |
| Graduation for Ichika and her friends, and thinking forward of the future. It's scary to think that Rio could be on-the-spot for what Ryo has been through, but then again, siblings in the same household can act differently. Too bad that Ryo's upbringing wasn't the best, but at least he gave Ichika some practical tips on choosing her dreams going forward. If not Tamaru, then Ryo's dad will question his motives into both his and Ichika's weirdrelationship, making an already strained relationship worse with one-sided arguments that speculate to involve the family unwillingly. It's only when the girl shows up in question, then he becomes respectful. The Sakura flower viewing between Masuda, Ryo, Rio and Ichika aside, learn to take a hint to give the couple some time alone to talk about work, aspirations, and family relations within the Amakusa family. The vulnerable sides of each other seen for the first time..except that the hint ended then and there for cliché. Will both Ryo and Ichika finally realize their love for each other? We'll have next week's final episode to find out. |
 |
| Looks like the girls and Ichika have already started to decide what they're gonna do after graduation. But, Ichika hasn't decided yet and she's having trouble deciding. Ryo helped her by giving her an option of being a curator after graduation and looks like she's going to do it as well. We saw Ryo's father for the first time and boy things heat up between them when his father heard about him going out with Ichika. Luckily, Ichika told his father about how nice of a guy Ryo actually is. The flower viewing was beautiful, and Ichika was about to confess to Ryo if Masuda didn't interfere once again. LOL. One more episode to find out what's gonna happen next. |
 |
| Ryo's father do be asking the real questions though. Also, very nice change in the last part of the ED visuals! |
 |
| So close and yet so damn far, hopefully next episode she confesses or it ends with something bittersweet, prefer the former tbh but hey ho. Seems like Ichika procrastinated deciding her future, probably like 20% of other students, me included lol, and tbh finding something you'd enjoy working for the rest of your life is a difficult thing to do, since doing fun stuff as a job can suck the enjoyment out of them. Quite surprised with Rio wanting to become a lawyer tbh, thought she would do something more artsy because of the way she describes sumo wrestling in such detail lol. Seems like Ryo's dad is more of the classic tsundere archetype, wanting the best for his son but can't get the words out properly. Him grilling Ryo was pretty much a given, since it was one of the main gripes the viewers had and it's understandable to want the best for everyone involved, but his execution seems to fall flat every time, instead going into an argument rather than a discussion. It's quite obvious that he was worried since once Ichika said ryo was a decent guy, he seemed to cheer up. Rio manipulating the flower viewing was jokes lol, seems like the lawyer genetics are there, witholding information until the last second to make use of it loooool. And rio then using her death stare to masuda was jokes. If only Masuda hadn't interuppted, they had such a nice mood going on between them and it looked like Ichika was about to confess, and ryo finally willingly talked about himself and his past and you can also see that he wants to interact with his father in a more amiable way, but can't seem to find a way how. Like I said earlier, looking forward to next weeks episode, hopefully it concludes all the major holes, like ichika getting with ryo and I wish somehow ichika manages to get ryo and his father on more even footing, resetting their dynamic. Would be brilliant if it ends that way! |

| Ugh, they do get on badly, although I think they just need a heart-to-heart talk to clear up their differences Nononono, they go off to spend time together and just cut the confession short? AAAAAAAA |
| Ichika is worried about his future and asks rio and her friends what they want to do later. I think it's good that she asks ryo herself how he was doing and if he would have a council for her. I found that pretty sweet at the end, as ichika wants to say something, but then come right at that moment rio and Masuda. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| I can totally see Rio as a lawyer!!!! Tamaru is so sweet, he really wants the best for Ichika, even advising her to ask someone older than him, he knew Ichika would go to Ryou, but he also wanted her to get some useful help. Best boi♡ (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) I really love Enoki Junya’s voice acting.......♡ And of course Kimura Ryouhei, Masuda makes me laugh lolollll Ryou & his dad’s relationship was so hard to watch. Hits a little close to home for those with estranged families. I actually cried when his dad was talking to Ichika when they met for the first time. He sounded so worried & so afraid that his own son was causing harm. He has no trust in his son. I hope they can mend their relationship somehow. He was relieved knowing that Ichika had received help from Ryou. I hope they can move on but broken relationships don’t heal overnight. Ryou also needs to show how he has changed for the better & is more grounded. I hope they can communicate better, their strained relationship is also affecting Rio. And Ryou couldn’t remember what toy he won at the lottery back then, but he remembered that loving act by his dad & how he felt. That made me so sad. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Ichika and her friends talking about the future, a difficult subject. Ryo beefin with his father again.. It really scares Rio. Well understandable, fathers like that are damn scary. We saw a really wholesome moment between Ryo and Ichika, she was about to say something important but as every other romcom anime. Someone has to interrup them xD |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| One more episode man I’m not ready for Koikimo to end, it’s probably become my fave romcom ever. So many tense moments today. Deciding what you want to do after graduation can be a real challenge, going to Uni isn’t an obvious choice for everyone. Glad Ichika got some clarity, though. Ryo’s dad reacted how most people would in the situation, but feelings/love are a weird thing. Ichika and Ryo’s sakura viewing was so damn cute. We almost got a confession 😩😩 but we’ll have to wait until next week I guess, can’t wait to see how this ends |

| Even if ichika didn't managed to finish her sentence, im pretty sure in the end ryou understood what her feelings were in that moment, as it was shown moments before the end of the episode. On other hand, im really sad this is about to end already, i will really miss this series, really few romances have made me feel as invested on it as this one. |
| So next week already last one...I hope there will be a second season since I can't imagine the whole story being told in one last episode. And well....always wrong timing...classic. but last ep we'll get they being together. Surely |
 |
| Matsuda, why in the flying f... Arghhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Man, I don't want my soap opera to end already, give me more Ichika x Ryou!! |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| That near confession moment was heart-fluttering. |
| Oh shit she was about to confess, I didn't expect their relationship to change this much in a single season |
 |
| I hate these confusing confession cliff hangers. I’m so glad they took this terribly slow. I absolutely love this type of series. I could see this going another several seasons if they played their cards right. 💞🥰 |
| Graduation is coming. That's gonna be sad. Although we most probably won't be seeing it as there is only 1 episode left. Ichika almost confessing to ryo and masuda interrupting it, classic trope. I kinda felt like the visuals of the ED might change so I stuck around and was totally not disappointed. The final images were changed and current ones are equally great if not better. |
 |
| Ichika was this close to confessing to Ryo, but Matsuda had to ruin it. Hopefully we will get a proper confession next week. |
 |
| Its weird seeing Ichika worried about the future when its obvious where its gonna sail. You know what i mean? Well, at least the girl really thought out all of her mind very well done, while indeed taking care of the future really be a good trait of wive for a better married lifes. Nice shit. Anyway, more of Amakusa family scenes and the relations between those two obvious ice-age adults. Finally they reached into that point and answered my question, about the relations, and the father really worried about Ryo case. Ofc he should've misunderstanding that, why not? Well, as expected its Ichika to gave a brief explanations and maybe its convince the father a bit to cleared the gap out between those two adults. But, the adults themself really need to talk into more deep to clear that things out in a goof way. So, yeah, can't wait for it. But, the next already the last episode. Interesting to see how its end. Pretty okay plot so far, including the scene at the flower viewing when its ended with such an awkward obvious tease cliffhanger. Ryo, stopped that creepy reaction, ffs... |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| Ouhhh the flowers in thoughts and the story were as always beautiful. Looks like father’s gonna play an important role at some point. Why Masuda!! Why masuda!! Why mass... ok stop... no problem, instead of that we got that good expression from ryou-san. Man next week last episode.... it’s early for to say but please announce new season soon and again nice ed art and music. |
“ If there was no one else within a 5-kilometer radius from Shimamura, and she was in a deep sleep and an all-knowing deity just happened to reassure me that she wasn’t going to wake up the next 24 hours, maybe I’d get bored after 23 hours and I might kiss her once to relieve some boredom... ” |
| I can't blame Ryo's dad confronting him about the relationship with Ichika, seems natural that it would be the first kind of reaction. So close to a confession, if it wasn't for Masuda and Rio to come back from the food stalls.. Title for the final episode sounds, I don't know, very anticlimactic.. Let's hope that's not the case. |
 |
| Masuda why you do this |
 |
| Another cute episode. Of course Masuda and Rio came back right before Ichika could get her sentence out |
| Maybe Ryo's dad is not as bad as he seems from the way he talked to Ichika Also ED changed yet again! As I like it :3 |
 |
| oh! i wonder if that the word Ichika has been wanting to tell to Ryo...ahihihi so sad this isn't getting S2 because the manga is finished and is short (only 55 chptrs) 4/5. |
 |
| It made me really sad when Ryo said "I just followed the path that my parents laid out for me. So you shouldn't use me as an example." I knew that feeling~ But Ryo!! you did great!! you've done a good job!! AAAAHH Ichika almost confessed her feelings!! Why Masuda-san whyyy :"D And yeah, the last part of the ED was changed, nice visual~~ I liked it. I'm looking forward to the last episode, I wonder how Ichika will express her feelings? and what will their relationship be like.. haha, next week's theme is "disgusting" lol that was the first word Ichika said after Ryo confessed his feelings on the first episode XD |
 |
| Goddamnit Masuda, I knew it was coming but, it still pissed me off, in a funny way lmao. Great episode! I think I am definitely enjoying this show more than Higehiro at this point, it just feels more genuine you know. Can't really blame Ryo's father, he just wants Ryo to get his life together. But, he doesn't need to worry anymore about that. Ichika's supposed confession though was really beautifully done, and Ryo noticed what was happening, that's great. I really like the change in the ED too, I am gonna miss this show. Judging by the next episode title, it seems like the end, it's a very finale-ish sounding title. Really looking forward to the last episode. |
 |
| Awesome episode, after knowing Ryou past of leading towards his career it made me feel sad for him, it turn out wasn't something he chose for himself it was what his parents wanted for him ( especially his father who was against he choices what he wants for his future,: it turned out he wasn't happy in his younger days. I hope this time he will reach out something he truly desire towards his romantic feelings for the girl he loves: it's hard given the circumstance he's currently in about their age difference, something only Ichika will give him and I'm sure Ichika will grant the happiness Ryou always has search for by responding his feelings, GO RYOU YOU GOT THIS since Ichika has feelings for you. Seriously, Ryou x Ichika moments always makes me SQUEEE MY HEART, ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHIP SO MUCH!!!!!! XD OMG, what an excite away of ending the episode: I was like: this is it, Ichika is now certain she's in love with Ryou without a doubt, AWWW SO CUTE!!!, so much that she was about to confess her feelings, Ichika's blushing scene is so ADORABLE, and I wonder if Ryou is already catching Ichika affections she has for him based on Ryou's reaction at the end: OMG, I'M SO DYING TO SEE THE NEXT EPISODE, DEFINETLEY LOOKING FORWARD IN HOW MY FAVORITE SHIP WILL SAIL: MORE RYOU X ICHIKA HERE WE COME, I'M SO READY!!!! <3 I better get some tissue ready in what's to come just in case it get so overly emotional for this shipper to handle, YES PLEASE DO, LOL!!! But in the same time is making feel sad because I'm going to miss this anime once its over, well as long we get a happy beautiful ending I'm totally with it. |

| This was a p good episode. More insight into Ryo's family. And that ending was something too. I think Ryo clocked it last moment that Ichika had a genuine feeling of love for him. Time to write our shit reviews now. |
| This episode showed a little bit of development of the characters and I'm loving it, although Ichika is struggling with her choice for the future, she gets help from Ryo and realizes there's a lot more options than she can think of. Hopefully next episode will enhappily. |
I was on the edge of my seat ready for that confession and as soon as it cut to Masuda and Rio I literally scream out fuck at the top of my lungs and made the cat and my brother jump out of there seats next to me! This is confession blueballing! Aaaaaaaaaaggghhhhhhhhhhhh! Give me the good shit! |
 |
| Rio beign a lawyer seems really interesting and I can see her as one. Damn, Looks like Ryou dosent really get a long with his father. That ending tho CMON |
 |
| Ichika wants to work in the museums, it seems cool for her. It's still sad for the relationship between Ryou and his father. And too bad she couldn't speak at the end, it would have been cute xD |
