I'm happy. Got to see Saijou even for a few seconds. LOL!

Who's this new girl? Hopefully she's cute and interesting!

Good lord Takeo was pretty pathetic in this episode.

He was way worse and more annoying than those desperate friends of his!

You say that, but i'm not sure you've realized that this but Takeos is still young, and this is his first girlfriend and first time he's expected anything from valentines day. He was over excited, and felt let down. I don't really see the problem. I bet a lot of guys would look like Takeo albeit less exagerrated if they were in his shoes.

Finally we might get some more focus on Suna in the next episodes. This episode was a little boring just rinse & repeat of the previous ones but slightly different events.

Takeo was really annoying in this episode, his mannerism is getting obnoxious. I'm glad Suna is getting the screentime he deserved in the next episode.

Just finished catching up on the entire series thus far, and I'm really enjoying it. I hadn't been watching it until a friend told me the mains actually confess in episode 3; that was so unusual in my experience that I decided to give the show a shot, and I'm very glad I did. Its great. This episode was full of well played humor. That massive chocolate monstrosity Takeo got was VERY impressive!!

I wonder how long its going to be before Takeo finally starts calling Yamato by her first name?

the part where he was talking about never clicking with a girl was emotional. despite having the good looks and being there for his friend, he realizes if he never clicks with a girl, he won't ever get one. I think I liked that scene more than the ending of the episode, tbh. you sort of knew the ending was coming but the revelation about why suna happens to be single is more personal and revealing to me.

because of that episode preview...now I'm excited to see the next episode! someone is targeting suna!...anywayz...this episode is full of chokoleto!
Takeo denseness seems to be stupidity! just for the sake of comedy...oh well...
it's good to see that the boys are satisfied with just the girls directly handing the chocolates to them...it's very sentimental to Japanese people when it comes to valentine tradition of giving choco.
4/5.

While I did find this episode more heartwarming than some of the previous ones, I didn't care for how one-sided it was with the girls doing... well, everything. It seemed to me like Yamato was dropping a hint about the chocolates (intentionally or not). I know Takeo is supposed to be dense, but seeing that he thought of it at the end of the episode, he should have bought those for her if the first place, not just to make up for forgetting to thank her properly.

To be honest, in general it seems like the girls have been doing nearly all of the work in the relationships in this show, and it's especially evident with Takeo and Yamato. (Or are we supposed to consider random disasters which Takeo averts as relationship work? Lol.)

I think any shadow of a doubt is gone now. While the show originally seemed like it would be a light romance dramady with a good amount of post-confession development, in reality it's been more of a relaxed SOL with varying degrees of humor. For me, this is a bit disappointing. If the idea was to have a relationship-centered slice of life-type story, it should have started with Takeo and Yamato already together. This would have allowed the audience to join in in wonder how such a couple ended up together in the first place, which could have made for a strong reveal later on.

Even for a slice of life, however, I'm a bit disappointed in the lack of character or plot development. I feel like there needs to be one or the other. As a counter-example, Isshuukan Friends was similar in that it was a relationship-focused slice of life, but despite having only a small amount of character development, there was a plot progression tied to the characters' relationship. This, in my opinion, is better than what Ore Monogatari has offered as a light/heartwarming anime with light drama elements. Isshuukan Friends doesn't misled the viewer, and it does what it does (showcasing cute relationship interactions) better than Ore Monogatari overall despite Ore Monogatari being better in some respects near the beginning (i.e. Takeo & Suna's relationship is better developed than Hase & Shougo's).

In the end, while I'm left with a fluctuating slightly-above neutral to slightly-below neutral impression of Ore Monogatari, Isshuukan Friends was very cute and fun to watch all the way through, and in Ore Monogatari's case it's soured a bit more thanks to the extremely promising first few episodes which it was never able to live up to.

I kinda doubt my views on this will change within the last few episodes, but it is possible my overall view of Ore Monogatari could be improved slightly if the last few episodes (which I imagine will focus on Suna) are as strong as the first few.

tl;dr: If you've enjoyed Ore Monogatari, you should definitely give Isshuukan Friends a try. It does everything Ore Monogatari does in a more engaging and consistent manner (minus the somewhat weaker male-to-male friendship), and is more entertaining as a whole.

Glad Saijou's still relevant. Hopefully she gets paired with Suna, but seems like there's another contender.
Will Suna finally get a girl? (^_^)

The ending of this episode now that I think about it, the only thing that I want to see in this anime are:

Large time skip Takeo and Yamato already married (probably won't happen)

Some development for Suna as the guy deserves it... even random classmates got more romantic development than him after all :)

This episode was very cute! It was nice to see the girls get together and make those chocolates! The boys were very happy too. :)

Yamato was very sweet when she delivered her special chocolate to Takeo. <3 LOL at Suna for simply walking past them and going straight home.


Looking forward to Suna's 'romance' next :)

Leaving Suna aside, Takeo's other friends sure are hopeless. Not really of my liking since they just look like a bunch of inept people...

Overall, it was another nice episode but I found Takeo a bit too "intense" (more than usual) at times.

Lol SSJ baby Maki, I just love these random outside references.

I hope to see more hookups after this, I'm surprised and disappointed there hasn't been any since the X'mas episode. Nanako & Kurihara totally banged by now, if not very soon ;)
