Finally Kento does something that I can agree with by treating Sawako as an equal and allowing her to make her own decision by taking her own fate into her own hands (as it should have been all along). I also like that while he told Sawako that he never imagined that she could make someone like Kazehaya fall for her, in his subsequent conversation with Kazehaya, Kazehaya unhesitatingly assured him that Sawako is the one to be admired because of her quiet strength. :D Ultimately it is always easier to stand up when supported by others than to stand alone unsupported by others. Kazehaya saw that Sawako was doing her best at the latter all by herself, and he admired that about her. It’s one of the reasons he fell for her. In his own words: he fell in love with the girl who was always standing up by herself. It’s really something that from the start “no one” in this story saw Sawako in the same light that he does but now Chizu-chan and Ayane-chan have both come to see her in that way and they all love her just as she is.

Sawako seems to have grown up a little in this episode. I like that with the help of Kurumi’s words and Kento’s words, which basically meant the same thing, she was finally able to see that she had put Kazehaya on a pedestal when all he ever wanted her to do was to see him as himself.

Anyway, next week’s episode is one I’ve been waiting for. I hope the animation and execution of the episode is better than the manga confession scene, which was still awesome in itself.

LoL

While everyone was waiting for the confession, I was waiting for something like this to occur too. Now I guess we will have to see how things get messed up from hear. I swear, as already commented, all the still picks and music might work great in a live action Music video, but unfortunately it didn't translate as well into animation. I really enjoyed the message though, take your time and enjoy high school is what I got from the first half of the episode. Young people shouldn't rush to grow up. Saver those moments of fading youth. In that respect the little music video aspect was great. If they would have ended the series with that sequence I would have called this series a masterpiece, but they didn't, they put it in the middle of a second series. Sawako's final realization is probably bound to be too late. I've been in this situation before, timing is essential in love. I'm curious about 10th episodes title. "From Here" seems like it could imply that chase might have been more important than the catch. 11th episode "After Festival" sounds ominous.

Expample: After the festival me and Sawako remained friends, but things were never quite the same. Ahh!

"Important Person": I hope this episode is about Chizuru and Ryuu.

The ep was good and got better the time Sawako got the spirit to confess.

Great cliffhanger!! This is going to be a long wait.

Also, the full OP = WIN!!

come on, y'all knew they were gonna cut it before she could confess, lol! haven't you watched shojo before? if the juicy part isn't happening at the beginning it is happening in the next episode :p

it was very beautifully animated, tho, that whole sequence when she jump-starts her brain and runs to the classroom. such a pretty golden glow.

but! wtf? why did the awesomeness that was Ryu's gift scene get a 2.5 seconds of airtime?!

at last there was some development. I guess when sawako heard the Kazehaya uttering her full real name that when she got her senses back .
Thank got there was the end of nagging.

LMFAO pin's sushi stars. :DDD i've always loved the anime's portrayal of his character. i wonder if the staff spends time just to create original inside jokes for pin ahahaha.

...no matter how significant the plot development is, there always has to be people complaining about it nonetheless. NOBODY IS EVER SATISFIED?! orz.

My God I'm sooooooo glad Kent opened up her eyes! I'm sorry if you guys hate Kent, but if he didn't create the misunderstanding, sawako would have never realized all this, that she doesn't care what people think.

The animation on this was amazing, i loved the chizu and ryuu moments too <3

Actually, it should be that she was taught that she shouldn't care what others think. All those misunderstandings all stem from the fact that she is too self-conscious about tarnishing people's reputation. Kent's words, although ultimately selfish, helped her realize this attitude had become a wall in her relationship with Kazehaya and that he was a person of the same standing as herself, not some deity.

Yeah, she had an attitude that was a little too nice for her own good, and ending up hurting herself and the people around her.
Being a little selfish sometimes is healthy & she's coming to learn that too.

You said it. We can't be too nice even though we shouldn't be too selfish.

Keeping in mind the background of Sawako and a lot of her actions I never truly found the misunderstandings forced. A little exasperating, sure, since we all want them to be all happy already, but it seems quite believable on the context of the story and the characters.

As for a previous post I read predicting a somber outcome, I have an optimist attitude even though I haven't read the manga. This anime just seems a little too pure to have such a gray outcome after all this time.

I am absolutely dreading this next episode. Knowing Kimi ni Todoke, and knowing how romance shows usually play out, it's far too early for the climax to go wrong. I just know that the writers are focusing all their creative energies to come up with a way to make this confession end the wrong way.

Why is so slow??? I wonder... and the answer is obvious: becuase it has so charming moment like the next episode.

This will be a 20 minutes of pure awesomeness... Finally!!

And Sawako was wonderful in this episode (so beautiful, charming, supportive... pure beauty). Go Sawako!

And It will be a long week, again.
