| The friendship between Sen and Kaoru is really pulling me into this series. I'm super suspicious about Jun despite how charming he can be. |
| Got a bit of feels from this ep. Anything tragically mother related hits the audience hard. |
| I wish they'd make more animes like this... Very human, organic, and mature compared to most of the sugary melodramas with high schoolers acting half their age....ahem...Key. |
| I tried holding back my tears but I failed T___T |

| Now I want to know the reason Kaoru's mother left them. Ehh, despite everything I still want KaoruxRitsuko. Jun is charming indeed, but for some reason I can't bring myself to fully like him, probably because he sorta "ntr"-ed Yurika, and he's shady implied in this episode. |

| Great episode, really liked how the characters are developing and that ending was just beautiful! Let's see what happens next! |
 |
| this series is just too great! :D i can`t wait to see what`s gonna happen next |
 |
| I hope we get to see more of Kaoru's mom. He feels so disconnected from the rest of his family, so I was glad that he was able to find his mom and get along with her so naturally. |
| He met his mum. Ri-chan practically admitted she's in love with Sentarou. And Kaoru got over it eventually. So good to see him smile again. What a heart-warming episode :) |

I hope so too, he needs his mom. Gymkata said: I wish they'd make more animes like this...

| I'm shipping Sentaro x Kaoru's Mom,.. Seriously though, whoever it is Ri-chan likes, I doubt it is actually Sentaro. Note that even when confessing that she was in love she never got to say with whom. Maybe it's someone else alltogether, maybe it is Kaoru (and he's just going too fast), or maybe it's Yurika. Also, the train does not need to end with Jun. Kaoru's has a perfectly shippable niece for Sentaro =P |

| Mother and son reunite. Where to from here? |
| I didn't love this episode as much as virtually everyone else in the thread, but yeah, very nice. I'm utterly shocked Ri-chan truly doesn't like Kaoru though. I was so certain she does... dang. What a bummer... I like how much time has passed since the beginning of the series, too. |

| Even without any performances it was still a great episode especially the OST which was amazing. |
  |
| Who is Ri-chan in love with? |
 |
| Wow, so much happened again. This is a bit quick paced, but not rushed, at least it doesn't feel that way to me. So Kaoru meets his mom and forgives Ricchan and what not. Great. |
 |
| Yurika what you playin' at??? Sending letters to a fugitive ... |
 |
| kaoru acting upset because ritsuko doesn't like him back is nonsense. okay, sure he gets to be upset that she doesn't like him back but ritsuko shouldn't have acted so guilty afterwards. the meeting with the mum was interesting. especially when sen and kaoru got drunk. jun has been getting letters from yurika, wonder what's that about? |
 |
| Quite the emotional episode. I'm glad Kaoru was able to make acquaintance with his mother, hopefully they will meet up again sometime in the future. Wow Yurika is already sending love letters to Jun xD |
 |
| Great episode. I love how the glasses guy was able to move on from his heartbreak by seeing his mother and realizing that there are more important things in life than some silly crush on a person you just met. I'm glad he has decided to move on from her because changing another chicks heart when she likes another guy is impossible. Great development. |
| well nice episode..... bromance much |
 |
IntervisioN said: Best episode yet, teared up a little when Kaoru's mom cried (both times!) Same here. Excellent episode, this anime is really surpassing my expectations by so much. |
 |
| He was rejected, that's sad but who knows what will happen in the future. The meeting with his mother was sweet, and I have to wonder why she left him because it's obvious that she loves him. |
 |
| Sentaro's getting cucked by Jun lol |
 |
| Sentarou=best boi I was really confused by Ritsuko, I thought she liked Kaoru because she seemed bitter/ mildly jealous when Yurika was discussing with him. She thought stuff like 'so he likes these girls' etc. so perhaps it was too early for me to judge. Seems like she likes Sentarou which isn't surprising given how good a guy he is and how long she has been friends with him. I liked the reunion and the reconciliation between Kaoru and his mom, although I wish they had parted on better terms, the train had to leave just then >.< |
| Goddamn, Kaoru got gunned down hard. Was expecting Sentarou to be a loud drunk but it was actually opposite, love all the little things in this series. |
  ~ |
| Did Kaoru just throw Sen out of the window? lmao |
 |
| This episode was very emotional. I guess Ricchan really fell for Sentarou? And Junichi is 'gone' huh. Kaoru meeting his mom was a wonderful moment. So Kaoru liked the piano from an early age and his mother is a singer! Too bad Kaoru wasn't able to say everything to her and had to leave early. The farewell was heartbreaking, I wonder if this was really goodbye. It was great to see Kaoru and Sentarou helping each other though. They are such good friends and I agree; friendships do last longer than (most) love relationships. Hopefully they will understand it in time... Can't wait for the next episode! |
 |
| Really well directed how the events turned out. |
| The song at the end highkey slaps, I'm gonna have to listen to it when I get the time. |
 |
| Well now it's clear that Ritsuko is totally in love with Sentarou, I don't know how this situation will evolve, I still hope that Kaoru will be able to reach a mutual love... anyway it was pretty good to see Kaoru's reunion with his mother |
 |
| I don't know what's going on between the distance Ritsuko and Kaoru. Also what's going on between the triangle, I really hate Yureka right now because she's just one girl who suddenly falls in love with a ikemen guy undoubtedly and at some point the relationship between her and Sentarou was a total waste of potential. Also Ritsuko really getting exaggerated over a simple kiss ;-; I feel so bad for Kaoru right now, I wish I could be there for him and his dad is so caring :3! Also Tokyo trip, Kaoru crying feels so sad especially his love is distance with Ritsuko and Jun's fellow friends going drunk with the bois is utterly hilarious. Kaoru's mom makes such delicious curry :O I'm really glad Kaoru was able to reunite with his mother after all the distancing :)! |
| Really liked this episode although I was waiting for his reunion to be more emotional, asking about heavy subjects. This was so calming to watch. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Not a manga reader but i feel this episode was very rushed. I really wish this has many episodes 😭 And damn, what's with the scene between brother Jun and Yurika. The scene is telling me something else.🤔 |
| Well, it's calmed down a bit. Ritsuko admitted that she has feelings for someone else and Kaoru was a little down. And he got a letter from his mother who wanted to see him. And he went, accompanied by Sentaro xd. And he had a conversation with his mother, it was a very nice scene. And when he came back the situation with Ritsuko is already fine. Good chapter. |
| Oh my gosh, there’s so much going on with the relationships. I can’t denied the facts, they’re both good looking. I kinda of feel bad for the guys since they both like a person who likes somebody else. Either way, Sentaro is a great friend, he’s trying to cheer up Kaoru in his own way lol. Sentaro will eventually find out about Jun and the girl he likes. |
 |
| Sentaro is an awesome friend |
