BEAUTIFUL! <3!!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CHAPTER.
It's white day, and Nishikata is in doubt what to do because of what Hamaguchi told him.
And he gets to do the NISHIKATA QUEST.
But he starts to think about how he feels about Takagi. And it seems that he realized(FINALLY!) that she has feelings for him.
And he went to find her to give her the chocolate and AHHHH!!!!. What a beautiful scene.
It seemed, it SEEMED(AHHHH!!!!) that Nishikata was going to tell him something else.
But well, there will still be the movie and we will have to see what will happen. Please, PLEASE, PLEASE TELL HIM!!!

I loved the 3rd season, it was really good and precious. And it looks like it could be the last one, because we will have to see if the movie will mark the end of the series. And let's see if they confirm the spin-off adaptation.
But well, I really loved this anime.

I also found it funny they were just standing there holding hands during the entire duration of the ED credits. Like, are you guys gonna move or do anything?


Our boy is probably still catching his breath after all that running. All that physical training really paid off (it's quite fitting since most of it is self imposed as a punishment due to losing to Takagi) And after all this time Takagi isn't about to let go of him.

What the hell was that, Nishikata can't find enough space in a locker for a box? Who drew that locker and said "there is no speace next to this pair of shoes and 2/3 of the space empty"? And how the hell is Nishikata so scared to talk even to a friend? How hard it is to be honest if you are japanese? Is this how every male in the enti9re country is like? I might hate myself if I had to live like this. Also, what kind of logic was that to go to the pier instead of waiting for her to get back home and just ask her to come out for a bit? I feel like Nishikata is one of the densest MC in existence. He needed 2 years/3seasons to realise that maybe Takagi was ones and that he had feelings for her. God damn, talk about lack of honesty. Yet I am big sucker for romantic endings like this and yet he still wasn't honest he still said something really stupid like "I wanted to return the favor" What the fuck was that? How can you be such a coward? God damn, it is making me drop this anime. It is so slow and so... IDK , it migt get more ep than one piece in order for Nishikata to say the words to Takagi.


The points you’ve mentioned actually made the whole story more fun and exciting. Manga is still ongoing. It was actually surprising to even see that Nishikata realizes Takagi’s feelings as anime original. In my opinion, I’ll be more than thankful that no confession happened for more episodes to produce to cover the rest of the manga or add more anime original on it.

As this anime is also slice of life, I believe this is close to reality. Some people tend to be so honest (like you) while others really freezes up at the exact moment and cant be honest. It is really hard to be courageous (especially in “love”) with some/most thoughts in real life are really not expresed. I believe most boys at this age experience this, like me. I don’t know if it is just a race thing or not 😂.

I hope we can all enjoy the movie 🥰

Nice little ending moment, a damn tease though. Nishikata finally realizes his feelings for Takagi 100% now. Looks like we'll have to wait for the movie for that climax confession.

10/10 though, same as the 2nd season. What a brilliant series.

A fitting finale for the 3rd season of Takagi-San. Most of the episode is kinda gloomy, both the weather and the atmosphere lol. First Nishikata is excited about his series of puzzles titled “Nishikata Quest”, but after getting word that Takagi wouldn’t be at school that day, it puts him down for most of the episode. Of course our boy Kimura being the bro he is (even if he doesn’t know it) slides Nishikata the book Takagi was reading earlier in the season where she dropped the casual “I love you” but then brushed it off like she was reading a line from the book, but Nishikata discovers she made it up just so she could say it, I really like that full circle we got there.


Meanwhile, not only does Hamaguchi fail his confession to Houjou (still love this pair), the Doyoubi girls are casually solving Nishikata Quest without knowing what it’s for lol, and later Nishikata finds out Takagi will be back in the afternoon, so he rushes to get his White Day gift to her in a very good scene where he runs his guts out chasing her car to a nice new song, which is when Takagi notices him and stops the car to run to him, and the clouds part for a nice Sunny Sakura blossom view for a very good final scene between the two, absolutely loved when Takagi’s face lit up after Nishikata explained why he ran to her. It’s as Yukari said in the episode, “that’s the power of love.” Lol.

And here we are at the end of another season of Takagi-San, it was a very good one once again, full of the classic teasing we’ve come to know paired with some very sweet and romantic moments between Nishikata and Takagi. Much like the first two season, I really enjoyed this one, love seeing all the characters again and more of the main pair is always nice, the OP and EDs this time were superb as well. Of course I hope this isn’t the final season and the movie doesn’t properly end it, but if it happens to be, I’ve really enjoyed this anime series as a whole and will definitely miss all of its sweetness and hilarity, definitely need to rewatch it all soon.

A nice and heartwarming episode. But it isn't as surprising or good as I thought it would be. Nishikata probably realized about the "I love you" from the book and in the end they met, it was a very nice moment. The gift Takagi wanted is not even the actual gift, that is the resolve Nishikata made to chase her from the ferry all the way until they both met, it's very lovely to witness that scene.

My displeasure is just that they didn't make this season's finale as strong as the second's. However they still manage to capture the comedy properly as well, when Hamaguchi said "See you tomorrow" instead of confessing, Lol

the finale was so good...anime og ending like it SHOULD. Pretty sure this didnt happen in the manga, this has to lead into the movie and them being older! hopefully.. Cannot wait for the movie. Altho this wasnt a "confession" but I think takagai knows and he knows also.
Im kinda sad that after the movie no more tkagai unless they do an adaption when they're older..hopefully. Series just always makes me smile so good.

Definitely a great episode where things progress even more. Can't wait for when the movie airs as well as a moto adaptation :) It's kind of a happy and sad feeling for me. Happy because it's great, and sad because it's sounding like its almost done.

No cap, the screen time for each of the characters where pretty well distributed. Ashita wa Doyoubi trio were extremely wonderful presences in the episode with their insights and clue searching. Was a wonderful road, and I can't help but be excited to see more!

This Nishikata quest looks interesting to watch Takagi solve it I wonder how she'll solve it

So long for Takagi solving it, Mina and the gang are the ones who are going to solve it first not gonna lie it was fun watching them solve it, Sometimes Yukari's genius is it's almost frightening

Kind of sad that the gift got crushed by the car guessing by it or it got but the end was wholesome nonetheless I expected an "I love you" from Nishikata got "I really wanted to see you" from him well can't blame him I want another season so why not.


From the continuation of the previous 2 seasons I was really excited this got announced and finished the last season to watch this enjoyed till the end I would like another adaptation.

My heart... That was one of the more satisfying non-confession confessions I've witnessed. I guess it would make more sense if he confessed in high school. They have to make a season 4 or we riot.

For someone outside looking in, this season may be a speedrun of romcom tropes, ie valentine's, christmas, movie date, etc. but it worked extremely well for Nishikita and Takagi-san's story. The cultural festival was particularly such a standout arc.

It's been a joy watching this season. I hope everyone else enjoyed it as much as I did.

it was sweet, a confession without words.
I never expected nishikek to confess when the thought of him liking takagi is only now occurring to him.
she wouldn't have accepted a halfhearted reply, fully knowing how much of a tsundere he is. this was the best possible outcome.
actions speak louder than words do. guy tried to race against a car, guess running his ass off was worth it in the end.

I agree that
would have been nice, but watching the Anime Japan panel with Kaji Yuuki-san (Nishikata), he felt that saying the lines
was more manly and in character for Nishikiata and let the audience decide for themselves how the characters take it (until the movie of course!). Regardless... Like you, I was grinning for most of the episode, but I was in tears
that part of the episode... I really can't wait for the movie!!

This episode ended the season on a really high note and it had me smiling through it all, too. =)

You have to give Nishikata praise for making his quest game and how much effort he put into the clues. However, due to the bad weather, Takagi wasn't able to come to school so, by chance, Mina and co ended up taking on the quest and, when they realised it was made for Takagi, they placed all of the boxes back where they found it. The trio did great, that's for sure.

Thanks to Kimura being the MVP that he is, he gave Nishitaka the book that he'd seen Takagi read before and it finally dawned on him about how she feels for him. You have to give him credit for going out of his way to find Takagi, from taking the bus towards the ferry port, then chasing after Takagi in her mother's car (Nice Fiat Abarth 500, by the way!) until Takagi finally noticed him running after her and she got out to meet him by the cherry blossoms.

I do look forward to seeing the movie in the future, but for now, I'll most likely rate season 3 a 9/10. ^_^

The Best Episode from this series!!!

This is my favorite relationship in Romantic Comedy!!!

The last scene was so good, they finally-
Idk, maybe that counted as a confession...
And yes, Nishikata made Takagi blush again. (Lol every final eps of the season, Nishikata always made her blush)

Can't wait for the Movie!! I think that is the last adaptation, I don't read the manga but I hope the movie continue on what happen next on Ep12 and do a lot more romantic comedy scene...

I'm happy that I'm choose to watch this Anime, nothing that disappoint me!!! I give it 99/10 ♥♥♥!

Almost all characters got their screentime this last ep. Mina and her friends solving the Nishikata quest and putting it back knowing it's for Takagi-san. Although we have two 'failed' confessions but my god the last scene is so wholesome, I really thought we gonna have a confession from Nishikata but we all know the manga is still on-going; this show really know how to "tease"

A beautiful finale for such an amazing season. Love it all the way through. Really elevated the story compared to the past two season.

What an interesting season we got this time :') Really adorable and cute and way more straight-forward than the previous seasons which is something we all liked to see; progress.
Progress not just with the main cast but with also the side characters. Oh and I also love how all the side characters got enough screen time!

Such promising build-up that led mostly to nothing. Guess the only remarkable thing this finale left was the fact of Nishikata FINALLY realizing he has feelings for the girl who lowkey bothers him 24/7.

And as for Hamaguchi, he sure let me down this time. Granted, Houjou is kinda tsundere so it's hard to know what she thinks sometimes but still. Honestly, I was expecting more courage from this kid but well.

Overall, a slight step-up from previous seasons but still nothing I can consider as "good". Nishikata is so dumb it hurts sometimes and having the same "teasing" formula being repeated over and over again sure makes you wonder how we managed to receive three seasons of this in the first place.

Nishikata finally confessed!

The plain translation of “Ai Tai Dakara” is “therefore I want to meet you”. In Japanese, the meaning behind is “I am thinking of you. You are special. Therefore I want to meet you.” In East Asia, an interpretation of "love" is the special one.

In ep 12, Nishikata finally confirms Takagi is "the special one", and he takes the action immediately.

Remember the teaching of mother Takagi to Chi in ep 5? Teasing is the act of love. Takagi never teases the others but Nishikata. Nishikata is the special one to Takagi.

Nishikata does always have feeling to Takagi, but he always rejected his own feeling before. He just thought Takagi is too good for him, until he finally realises the meaning of Takagi's "teasing" --- a secret confession from Takagi.

Takagi is waiting for confession from Nishikata. Remember the interrupted dream in ep 1? The dream continues in reality in ep 12. Nishikata speaks the words that Takagi is looking forward to, "Ai Tai Dakara". Therefore, Takagi replies that she knows Nishikata's feeling with smiling. His feeling is precious to her. Takagi has accepted the confession.

We may think reversely. Takagi has confessed to Nishikata. Now Nishikata accepts her confession.

One may say "Suki Desu" (I like you) for a direct confession. The meaning of "Ai Tai Dakara" is even deeper, emphasising the thinking of the special one. A word play here is that "Ai" is also the pronunciation of kanji "愛" (love) in both Chinese and Japanese. However, people tends to avoid this usage in the confession of starting a relationship. The meaning behind is too strong --- forever love.

The production team does hint, the same sakura scene, the same background music, the same sound effects between ep 1 and ep 12. The ED is a strong hint that they finally become a couple.

I finally understand the OP animation. The time line of the OP should be set between ep 12 and the movie. The "apple" means first love. The video game corresponds to the video game of "Nishikata Quest" in ep 12 which means seeking or enjoying. Takagi and Nishikata are holding hands, walking on the "Angel Road" in Shōdoshima, their home island. There is a myth of the "Angel Road". When a couple reaches the opposite island through the "Angel Road", the relationship can last forever. (The Angel Road sometimes buries under water, see Ohara Yuiko's music video.) We know that Takagi and Nishikata finally marry, and have Chi their daughter. Another strong hint is the wishing broad. The wishing board is for couples. There is a shell-shaped card signed with "N" and "T".

10/10

I am especially delighted by the story development of entire S3. I never thought of the book that Takagi read aloud in ep2 as the key of Nishikata's confession.

For the movie, I am interested to the progression of their relationship. The plot looks like that they will go to a trip in the coming summer. Will they hold hands naturally?

After several months, maybe even years, and 2 seasons later, Nishikata had a stark realisation that he 'might' have a crush on Takagi-san. That's some premium character development. 😎👍

I like how they brought back the book 'Bryon' for further reference on how sneakily Takagi-san confessed to Nishikata.

Bro they made a meme reference with Yukari-can. 'Sometimes my genius it's almost frightening' meme lol

Really glad that the trio got some screentime

But wait what was in the actual present box Nishikata had? Was it chocolate or something else?

Oh man looks like the final confession will take place in the upcoming movie.

Overall such a wholesome and sweet episode and season in general. The wait for the movie begins 😩

Amazing season! 9/10
