Another great episode. I can empathize with Oshima and Yamaken. I mean, how do you react when the object of your affection can't make up their minds? I really, really hate this on again, off again relationship. Of course when Mitty finally makes a firm decision Haru has to go off a be a possessive little bugger. I'm also still very interested in finding out why Natsume was crying in the first episode.
Let this be our little secret, no needs to know we're feeling HIGHER AND HIGHER AND HIGHER!

o3o Oh man.... I do wonder what Haru was about to do to Yamaken before Shizuka called out to him.....part of me thought he'd kinda go innocent-starry-eyed "OMG MY FIRST RIVAL??" kind of reaction (like he did in the beginning when he went all starry eyed about Shizuka being friendly with him)

and didn't think he'd do anything violent until Yamaken brought it up in hindsight....

Everyone in this series is just too cute. Ah, but noooo! >.< I didn't like Yamaken this much in the manga! I really love him in the anime, but I don't want to because Haru x Shizuku is still my OTP and I don't want to feel bad for Yamaken. And... I actually started feeling bad for him. Haru's possessiveness annoyed me a bit in this episode. I think part of it was his voice though (I still don't particularly like the pick for his VA).

Also, needs more Sasayan and Natsume. Shoot, I'd watch a whole anime centered on Natsume. She's my baby.


God yes. Yamaken is awesome, and Natsume is damn adorable. I was hoping for a bit of Sasayan x Natsume.

For me, this episode was a highlight.

I found there to be many humourous moments throughout the episode and Yamaken also played a bigger role here.

Unfortunately, I still find that Sasayan doesn't quite fit in perfectly and it feels as if he is lacking some spotlight in the show.

Overall, I found this episode ended on quite the positive note.

Natsume is honestly the best female character in this series. I'm still rooting for Natsume X Sasayan, however unlikely it might be, since he always seems to get sidelined all the time >.< There might be a hint of Sasayan actually liking Natsume as he mentioned about how he lost the race after he realised that Natsume actually fell for Mitsuyoshi, fingers crossed...

I mean WTF? Haru's jealous, controlling, violent. What about that is cute? That's just sick. What's wrong with people? I guess it's those women that say "but he did it because he loves me" after they've been beaten up by their boyfriends.


Indeed. His really behaving like an asshole. At this moment i kind of wish the blond guy actually steal his girl.
Except that he has no control towards his violent tendencies he also thinks the girl is his possession if she loves him. What an ass!

Natsume has completely fallen for that older guy. I think it's kind of normal if you think about it. Since she's the pretty cute type of girl that boys fond over it would have been hard for her to get attracted to one of those boys since such behavior has became cliche and annoying to her so the older cool looking guy that is kind indifferent to her charms but strong and able to protect seems like a really shining difference in-frond of all the other boys of her age.

My poor Oshiro got hurt again. I saw wanna hug that girl protect her and never let her go.

Hmm, wonder what's gonna happen now..? O: Ahh, and we also found out that Sasahara really does like Natsume! But he realizes he lost to Mi-chan >.<

True! I was even surprised. And if I were to put myself in Shizuku's shoes, I suddenly thought it would be scary to have someone like Haru :/

Haru is really creepy. This is the first time we see him going into a violent streak without a morally justifiable excuse or just plain naivety - he intentionally wants to hurt other people to get what he wants.

Oshima was so funny feeling out of place like that guess she needs to get used to the group of strange people like that.
The reaction of her friend towards Haru was funny as well.

The prep thing seems hard when Haru is in such a mood he can be pretty obsessive when he is worried hope he gets over it tho.

the progression in this episode was really lovely. :) i love how natsume is helping with haru's and shizuku's relationship. and it's now apparent that she has a thing for mi-chan. but i can't help but feel sorry for sasayan, he accepts that she loves someone else so well. :(
and im so sosososo glad shizuku has confessed her love to haru, hopefully they'll start going out soon!

Natsume is damn annoying so glad Yamaken grabbed her. She act like she's the helps people but all she does is ruin stuff.

I actually like the Mitty x Yamaken setup more now. I kind of wish Haru pushed him that way he will never be able to get Mitty again. LOL

Yeah its pretty damn sick. He's basically a control freak. If they was married she would run away from him. Haru would injure anybody male if they tried to flirt with her.


I feel exactly the same, Haru's violent attitude is really making me detest his character even though he has other moments where he is shown to be nice/caring. As others have pointed out, he is very childish and honestly should not be in a romantic relationship at all because he still needs to learn how to interact with other people. Shizuku also doesn't know how to interact with people due to being alone so often before, but unlike Haru she is not naturally violent and even though she can be cold she is also capable of realizing how her behavior impacts on others and can learn how to change. Despite the moving declaration of love scenes (which are at this point getting old and repetitive) Haru/Shizuku are full of fail as a pairing at this stage of the series. It's a pity really because I feel like this show had a lot of potential but has ended up being about a pointless relationship where one person is always confessing but they never get together because one of them is always being an idiot.

I'm not sure how the majority of the people actually hate Haru, he's probably the funniest character i've ever seen, I on the other hand, hate Mitty being incredibly conceited, and how every single episode ends with the "I love you" and somehow in the next episode, we're back to square one not liking each other....very little progress in 11 episodes, if it wasn't for the fact I laugh alot to this show, I would have dropped it already

As much as I like Haru most of the time, his overly violent behaviors are a major turn off. I understand his past, not knowing how to love, and all other personal issues that back these negative behaviors, but by now I feel he should be changing for the better, at least I thought that was the direction we were supposed to be heading. But every time he seems like he's taking a step forward he falls back ten. This episode would have been a great opportunity to show some personal growth. I was really hoping that the dramatic build up on the balcony would end with Haru making the personal choice not to harm Yamaken, but in the end it appears the only thing that kept him from potentially pushing Yamaken over the balcony was Shizuku's arrival.

I think Haru's over the top personality and Shizuku's lacklusterness could compliment each other well, but as it is, I don't see them realistically reaching that romantic end. I'm still enjoying the show, but as mentioned by a few others, I feel this anime just isn't meeting its full potential. Instead of the see-saw of love confessions, seeing our MC help each other in their struggles to overcome their behavioral problems and develop into better functioning individuals would have been a much more satisfying story. As it stands, I keep waiting for Haru to go into one of his rage fits and accidentally putting Shizuku in the hospital while she brushes it off because at least now she can stay in bed and study all she wants.

Sudden thought: Maybe that's what's actually supposed to happen. Haru's already punched her lights out by mistake before. If he really lost all control and seriously hurt Shizuku it would certainly pound some sense into his head, enough to make him rethink his actions even?

Eh, guess I will have to wait and see.

Amazing episode :D

Ahh Kurismasu Patii!!!

Lol i love how Haru outright told everyone that Yamaken is in love with Shizuku out of nowhere XD

Natsume with that mask and cape is gorgeous!!!

It seems she's getting more and more in love with Mitsuyoshi-san!

Still it was gutsy of Natsume of telling Yamaken has no chance with Shizuku, same with Ooshima with Haru XD

I actually thought Haru would really push Yamaken like that. Even though i hate his voice actor(despite having a good voice, he's more of a prick in real life: read Kokoro Connect scandal) That would be low of Haru.

Finally Shizuku is true to her feelings, yet can't stop studying XD

I can't wait for more episodes!!

Who doesn't a christmas centered episode. I'm glad we got to see more of Natsume, she hasn't been getting much screen time lately.

As if last episode's hint wasn't enough, I'm pretty sure she's in love with Mitsuyoshi. He's a pretty nice guy. He reminds me of Jin from Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor.

I think Kenji already knows he has no chance with Shizuku. I still think he's awesome because he's helping Haru and Shizuku get together and not caring about himself.

Woah, haha, I really liked the metaphor with the spider web tale, when Shizuku have ''cut her string'' as Haru was so close to getting her :P
Dat ending too xD

Poor Yamaken though, he really has no chance.

That was the oddest christmas party I've seen x)
Natsume sure know how to fuck things up :P
Never would have though when I started the serie that she would fall for Mi-chan :O

Sasayan had eyes for her, but I guess he'll start chasing after Oshima. Poor her, they are constantly beating the dead horse.

Not only is Haru totally possesive, he's also apparently yandere lol. Yamaken said "what if she says she likes me", and Haru looked like he was about to choke him, which means he doesn't even care for Shizuku's feelings at all lol. He needs some serious psychological treatment ASAP.
