| Welp, the middle school drama between Hime and Mitsuki is reeling in from before, though at the time, no one could fathom how fake Hime was trying to maintain her strong façade as a newly transferred student. In retrospect, it was Mitsuki who did things amicably, such as playing the piano. And though Hime could play as well, she intentionally lied so that the class could take another look at Mitsuki and accept who she is, instead of Hime just being the popular replacement. Things were actually going good between the two due to the piano being the common interest, but other than Hime's façade keeping the status quo, it's Mitsuki who gets reinvigorated that she has a friend whom she can share her life with. But as time passed, Hime's lies begin surfacing as the unspoken truth, and the same clique of girls that Hime hung out with, begin to show their true colours. It's only because of Hime's façade that she's able to keep up the lies and above all, remain faithful to Mitsuki, even if it means hurting her a fair bit. Even then, the liar-spoken girl continues her daily conversation to ward off the toxic clique wearing on Mitsuki, until the breaking point that she betrayed her and spoke the truth...which is the extent of the hatred between the two right until the end. ...that is until the meeting in Liebe Girls, where fate intertwines the both of them once again, now as Schwestern. Will the both of them ever be able to reconcile and put their past behind? Only time will tell. |

| This is only getting more dramatic. :o Very interesting backstory. The whole misunderstanding made it even more interesting and shocking. It was nice to hear all that beautiful piano music. |

| What was that? The backstory started off decently, but it all went down in flames at the end when Hime decided to quit the piano. She wanted to protect Yano? Really? Man, and then Hime has to act like Yano betrayed her, are you serious? Hime was probably the only character I still somewhat liked from this show, but now I don’t anymore. Of course, now they’re gonna be cold to each other at work, whoop-dee-do. Geez that was bad. |
| This was an interesting episode with the backstory of Hime and Yano will be great to see how this develops |
| Ok I know they were elementary school kids but the beef with hime and yano is so stupid. Yano, even as a kid should’ve known that Hime can’t just belong to her. Like expecting her to come to every piano rehearsal is just insane. She is another human being with her own interests and stuff. Yano was projecting her insecurities onto her. And even if she didn’t know that as a kid, surely now at her big age she should. With hime, she should’ve spoken up earlier and let the kids and adults know that she’s not being forced to do anything and that she enjoys spending time with Yano. All the rumours and drama could’ve been avoided. |

| This was a big misunderstanding and I think the fault lies with Hime for not telling Mitsuki that her plan was to quit playing piano to protect Mitsuki, talk about lack of communication. Besides that it appears that Hime is proud that she's a liar, not exactly a quality trait. |
| Hime assume Yano would understand her lie without explaining was a fatal mistake. there was no way she could tell the difference. In other hand, Yano was too quick to assume their friendship was a lie, then immediately changed schools. even if after incident Yano exposed hime's lies, they should still be able to fix it as long as they still communicate. So, well they meet again in cafe is a good things. I kinda relate with Hime, but also understand Yano stand. I had a similar experience with my former closest fb friend, often chatting or playing games together until when I graduated from high school, and was somewhat concerned about the future, the first time I failed to enter college, I also had to help a relative's business without expecting wages. plus losing time for my hobbies(game,anime,manga,etc), the busyness that I have mostly for other people but the irony for myself I'm still in the same place, what I think at first as "spending" became "wasting" making me a bit unmotivated to chatting or something, so I often starting to reply late. My fault is that I want to rest for some time, somewhat I think everything will be fine and assume he understands even without telling anything. but the small mistake like late respons is a spark, He assumes I changed, questioning about I've never been the one to initiate the chat, and starts falling apart until he blocks me. Probably he felt similar with Yano, I kinda have regret with it, unfortunate to losing friend but also is the truth I'm too tired if always be there for every single people that I know even my best friend. Human interaction is too complicated, there always something that you can't honestly tell, and the expectation too scary. |
| Wow, just wow, this episode alone gave so much more depth to the story! It was so incredibly adorable and sad at the same time: they both believe they have been betrayed by the other when actually, everything they've done they've done for each other, because they liked each other, as (best) friends (and more?!). Basically, this episode just blew away all my expectations and impression of the show so far, and made me think that I was in for a very very good story after all! I don't know how they'll go from there, but it's like this episode alone unlocked a ton of potential future drama/friendship/romance! Can't wait for next week! |

| Both make mistakes but for me Yano comes off as really unlikable. The way she keeps acting even though she's a lot older and should have more understanding of the situation. Sure lying isn't good but I think many people have that desire to be liked by others and not all are confident enough to go against everyone else. Hime comes off as very insecure and her way of taking pride on her own facade seems like a coping mechanism to me. So on that aspect she comes off as more relatable and likable. But can't blame kid Yano for acting the way she did as that's quite what you can expect from a child. But yeah, as an adult she should know how to at least act appropriately and not be so openly hostile all the time. Sure they had their drama as kids but it's not like Hime did something unforgivable even if the misunderstanding wasn't cleared between them. I'll finish this series and see where this goes but it's not very good in my opinion xD |
| "Oh, I wasn't trying to be funny.. I would've put a 'Haha' at the end of it." |
| From everything that Yano and Shiraki have done together on playing piano. Shiraki was the one who betrayed Yano because she decided to quit practicing piano and leave Yano all by herself. Hime honestly deserves the bad stuff coming to her from my perspective. Just feel bad for Mitsuki after having to put up with all of Hime's fake act and lies coming out of Hime's mouth. To be honest, the backstory didn’t get me super excited after waiting a week to see how the story would progress. But it’s nice to give some context behind it |

| It's nice they gave us the backstory but it still shit |
| In Germany we have a proverb "Lügen haben kurze Beine" translated that would mean something like "Lies have short legs". That would explain why Hime is such a midget lol. I didnt like the back story that much, the chr are just too unlikable for me. |

| hm, i was going to drop this show, but after watching ep. 4 i've changed my mind. will watch more. |
| To err is human. To purr is feline (c) |
| Damn, these elementary-schoolers acting like grown-up sociopaths. Decent backstory episode, I guess. I hate drama based on dumb misunderstandings but given how awful the previous three episodes were, I was honestly expecting worse. |
| Ok, give me moar of that juicy drama! |
| 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!  |
| I think the whole point of the backstory was to make me dislike the characters even more lol. I can't really sympathize with any of them and honestly their actions don't make any sense either, so my only question is when there will be actual girls love? Or it will be this cheap little drama until the end? Hime is a compulsive liar who is proud of being a terrible person, and Yano is just a resentful self-righteous bitch, well they do fit each other after all. |
  Grant me one hour on love's most sacred shores To clasp the bosom that my soul adores, Lie heart to heart and merge my soul with yours |
| Still no explanation on why Hime started putting on a façade to begin with since I doubt it was the reason she stated in the first episode since hard to believe she was planning on being a gold digger since she was a kid. Though this makes the characters more understandable at least and better shows Hime doesn't bullshit everyone all the time, just certain people and generally means well for people she cares about.

All the rumours and drama could’ve been avoided. I kind of get it though. It's more than that. Yano did sort of come off possessive sometimes but she didn't act all yandere about things trying to forbid Hime, rather she just didn't want to be blown off from something Hime said she would do and also if you have ever known someone serious about music this is pretty common where they have everyone involved practice on a regular schedule together to show dedication and make sure everyone involved stays in sync with eachother not falling behind. Yano was upset whenever she thought Hime was getting close to girls that bully her which is understandably hurtful feeling and it seemed like Hime was all Yano had outside of music like her only friend as far as we know. Yano was fine with Hime being around others when she thought it was an act which you see with her smile as she walks off but in the end she started doubting who was being lied to she thought she was being lied to because Hime broke a promise with her so she felt like she didn't matter to Hime and neither did the music she cares about. As for Hime she's upset she became isolated from being outed by Yano as playing nice with people she wasn't particularly interested in. |

| The "someone doesn't know the whole story, so there's a misunderstanding" trope is one of the most infuriating types of drama to watch... and I still wanna know how they were supposed to be in the same grade when now one physically appears to be 14 and the other looks like she's 20... |
| loved this episode, can't wait to see that scene on episode 5 or 6 T_T |
| uwu uwu |
| Wasn’t expecting to get the complete backstory on Mitsuki and Hime so early but damn does it make things more clear. Hime and Mitsuki actually had a very nice friendship before it all came crashing down, they seemed like really close friends, Hime was even willing to drop her act around Mitsuki and tell her that she’s lying when interacting with her classmates, and it was going fine until Hime did something with good intentions but had very bad results for everyone involved. And because of that, despite Hime’s intentions, I think what she did was really stupid lol. I get she was just trying to protect Mitsuki, but it kinda blows my mind that she thought quitting piano with her and not even telling her about it would be the right thing to do, and it didn’t even stop those classmates from badmouthing her either. So of course Mitsuki would take it the wrong way and break Hime’s facade, from my understanding it seemed like she thought Hime was lying to her the entire time too which makes matters even worse. If only Hime wasn’t so obsessed with appearing like an angel to everyone man lol, she had such a nice thing with Mitsuki. But that leads us back to the present, and I’m sure at first things are gonna be even more awkward between Hime and Mitsuki but I really look forward to seeing how they grow closer again, I think it’s gonna require Hime dropping her facade entirely, which is ironic giving the kind of cafe they work at lol, but needless to say I’m more invested now than I was before, let’s see where this goes! Also lastly, it took seeing young Mitsuki for a whole episode to realize how she absolutely filled out growing up lol, like damn. |
| Hime lied to protect Yano from the bad girls. Sad that Hime was misunderstood. |
| Hating because of a misunderstanding, and then refusing to talk about what happened to work things out, has got to be one of the most annoying things ever. I still don't like the entire cast, but Hime and Ayanokouji are now on the same level of hate. This was actually the first good episode though, so maybe it'll improve from here. The last thing I'm looking for is why Hime feels the need to lie to everyone as an elementary schooler, aside from just being a lying kid. |
 |
| haha at this unnecessary drama and misunderstanding why don't they jsut talk...that's the problem with high-pride...oh man! 5/5. |
 |
| i love the backstory between them !!! |
nskybytskyi said: Its even more nonsense if u consider how Hime reacted.That backstory doesn't make much sense if you ask me. I understand that Hime is not as experienced in lying at that point, so some ends are loose. But Yano cannot connect the dots at all and betrays Hime out of nowhere. The episode tried convincing me that Yano assumed Hime was lying to her the whole time. Yet I wouldn't believe it for a split second if I were her because Hime's actions tell the opposite story. Not being able to tolerate a small lie or two is also not representative of a fifth grader. Children are not that innocent, you know. Wtf she didnt just said was misunderstood. Like how Yano said she was a liar is like "oh no, but anyway, do u guys really belive that" Just lying again would make things keep the same, makes no sense basically admiting out of blue for no reason. |
| Oh. I've read the manga (well, not the entire one since it's still ongoing, but whatever), and I must admit that so far the anime recreates it very faithfully. Though I have quite a lot of reservations concerning the source material and, being a sucker for all things yuri, I must say that this episode did not disappoint me. If they continue following the source to the letter, we're in for a hell of a ride (though personally, I must say, certain plot twists in the manga left me disappointed—if you've read it too, you probably know what I mean, but come on, no spoilers) |
| Pretty unfortunate misscomunication between Hime and Mitsuki, they were such cool childhood friends. But at the same time, you may want to put the blame on Hime's personality of liar that's causing many problems. Overall, it was nice to see the background of these two characters, it's pretty interesting to see. The only thing I don't understand is how the fuck did Mitsuki got a foot higher and boobs biger than Hime head if they were classmates in primary school lmao. |
| I like everything, ok |
| Really great episode, but also kind of complicated, and now them working together is really awkward, wonder how they'll solve the situation. |
 |
| Hahahaha, Anime! Are you trying to be dramatic? It's so cute you trying so hard. Even if this is kid stuff. My lesbian angels from Yuri Kuma would eat you alive in seconds Lol, That anime is fucking dramatic=P At least now I know where Hime got her rich "husband" bs from. She meets a rich girl she fell in love with, they broke up, and she tries to get over it by convincing herself she is something she isn't I love how jealous Mitsuki gets😍😍 She just went in there grab her girlfriend's hand and stole her back from the other classmates,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES And when an anime girl is in love with another girl she often says " I hate her" HAHAHAHAHAHA you two are so fucking cute together I found this little puppy drama between my lesbians to be so adorable =)  Bam suckers!! She belongs to me!! 😍😍😍😍👩❤️💋👩👩❤️💋👩  |

| I know this is anime and all but Hime was very cunning for her age. Imagine an elementary school with that kind of thought process. Terrifying. I see no difference between current Hime and grade school Hime. Hime had the ability to read the room from such a young age while Yano basically had her whole life taught that lying will send her to hell. The hypocrisy is shown very well here, Yano didn't mind and was even glad that Hime lied to her 'friends' but when the thought that Hime could've been doing the same thing to her, Yano couldn't accept it. The girls though, why would they believe a single thing that came out of Yano's mouth? Not to mention, about Hime, too? Of all times NOW you girls believed her. I like the use of misunderstanding here. Backstory gives characters more depth albeit feels a little silly. But they are children, again, children. rladls717 said: Mitsuki only heard half of what Hime was saying to the other girls. Because of that, the thought that Hime might have been doing the same thing (lying) to Mistuki crossed her mind. The shock and Hime's statement made Mitsuki feel betrayed, thus her spilling the beans. I'm confused. Hime lied to her other friends for Mitsuki with a "good" reason, so Mitsuki didn't mind. But after that, I don't know what parts of Hime lying was a bad for Mitsuki. And Hime I did not expect her plan would be that grand considering her age. Or is it normal?
