This is the best episode so far, the backstory is pretty realistic & understandable, the ending also funny & sweet.
This episode can be it's own standalone show, pretty good.

That was flawless explanation to their background story. I didn't think the writing of their background could be this good. It was kinda hard to figure out how these two who they themselves know both of them still have feeling for one another but yet they can not come out and cleanly say "I love you."

Mizuto knows he has an unstoppable feeling for Yume no matter what her flaw is and he himself also acknowledges there are flaws in his character. And Yume is also in the exact same situation as Mizuto's. But somehow both of them refuse to give in and bend over. And that was how they broke up. They had bottled up all of those negative feeling toward one another even before the misunderstanding happened and the misunderstanding was just an excuse for their break up. And now the stepsibling thing will add another complicated layer to their relationship because right now if he or she want to start over again and ultimately get married it will be too late now, will it? LOL

Whether you like the story or not is up to you but I think this is a rather interesting writing.

I lost couple of brain cells after watching this episode, wth. Such an underwhelming backstory and breakup reason..... Seriously why am I still watching this?? mann really, she is expecting too much from him.. literally too much. He is not an esper or something to know that she is waiting for him on some festival and random ass spot at that Christmas day, come onnn. Use that fking mobile phone, you can also text for him on that anniversary day. Anyways I'm going to Stein's gate 3hrs to unwatch this anime, omegalul.

Best episode of the season.

For the record, I blame the boy for everything.

The girl's a keeper. She's hot now too.

IKR? Most of the people here saying it's misunderstanding (which is true) but compared to Irido she didn't even bother trying. She just assumed that Irido would fix the relationship for them smh.

man ayai can't be honest and mizutos reconciliation was superficial. middle schoolers and relationships in a nutshell. I can't believe they went months not talking to each other after that day. I know things are better in the ln now but what a stupid way and sour way to end things

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 ;)

This episode is great. I really like how the romantic relationships are shown here, one of the most realistic in anime. When it was all over, i really felt sadness and nostalgia.
But its cool that the main characters are together again. They are made for each other obviously.

I must say, this anime is very underrated. One of the best romcoms for real.

This episode is a blast that highlights the toxic relationships of people their age.

First, we have Mizuto, aka the typical Japanese male MC, who is practically pissing his pants. Why? Because his girl is horny. And what does Japanese anime culture dictate? You need to avoid the subject, put distance between you until you are sure woman is not horny anymore, and freak out if a female still has a risk of being horny. So, Yume, still feeling horny, seeks social connection by reaching out to other people—thus, new friends. And of course, this makes her happy. After all, she was ready to step into adulthood, just like anyone else, finally reaching a coming-of-age moment, but hers was denied (after all, this is how we ensure birth rate decline). Instead, she finds a new friend, and it made her so happy that she wanted to share it with Mizuto. But what does Mizuto do? Like any other Japanese male protagonist, he further ignores the existence of a horny girl. After all, what was he supposed to do? Spend time figuring out how to man up and try again? No, no, that’s not how you get a birth decline.

And now comes Yume. Man, she is absolutely fantastic at portraying the universal toxic expectations women can have from their lover interest.

I can’t even list everything. Do I even need to explain? Starting with expecting to get laid without asking or encouraging it—because, of course, the guy needs to read her mind and handle everything. Can you imagen her, without even saying anything, just laying back on the bed, or grabing and pulling him? Or heck, even more daring, phone her parent and say she will be late, right in front of Mizuto?=))) Of course not, that's now how toxic relationship work. So how do they work? By not doing or contributing anything mature, and then crying about how "he doesn’t do anything," but when he does contact her, she ignores him because why should she cancel her plans with a friend for her boyfriend? Or, you know, just arrange to meet before or after, if not with the friend, or simply another day. And of course, this just keeps going. Some of it is even explained by Mizuto himself, while others—like him not walking next to her—once again fall into the same pattern. He needs to read her mind, act according to her will without her even saying anything, and still come up with unexpected things to entertain her or else she will get bored. But hey, at least she reacted very mature after he said he is bothered that she is not staying constantly with him. Man, if only Mizuto wasn’t pissing his pants at the mere possibility of having sex, he’d have no issue inviting her out again. But alas, when you’re taught to freak out the moment a woman gets horny, of course, you won’t even dare to contact her during summer break. =))) After all, he’s horny, and being horny is not allowed, so he has to wait until he "calms down." =)))

And naturally, her not inviting him or seeking to spend time with him when she’s lonely just makes for good drama. Can someone tell me how many non-drama scenes we’ve seen between these two that would be enjoyable to watch for long term? few towards none? Well, that's exactly my point. They’re fantastic before getting into a relationship—when they’re still exploring and seeing each other in a new light. But as a couple? As lovers? Man, this anime would be boring since all they do is constantly getting irritated at each other, putting distance between themselves, and waiting for Fate to hand them new opportunities. =)))

Until now I had less than favorable views towards this anime but it made it up with this episode. I get the silly way the break ups may happen. There is the regret and loss but it can all be made up when you're still young (coming from an old guy, spiritually young I hope).

Yeah, that's not misunderstanding, not really. Guy being accused of cheating, and no apology afterwards? I have seen people breaking up for less irl. I know they are children, but still.
