I guess it's Risa's turn to be a fucking idiot now

Basically: "Ey, we don't know what to do with these last episodes' slots so we are throwing new characters left and right as drama devices so that we can fill the time length with some lame melodrama that teenagers will surely love" - The Anime

By the way, for those people saying Ootani was exaggerating... nice double standards you have there, uh?

One thing that always annoys me about romance is how you are completely forbidden to be with anyone of the opposite gender, Risa's jealousy over the basketball manager annoyed me before now it's Otani.

Aaaaa ;-;"" this was comlpletely kind of her fault T^T I know this is some random compressed event to just end the anime in 24episodes (plus a balance to the previous neighbor girl problem), but everything is unsettlingly out of timing. still like it tho

Great and emotional episode.

The thing I need to discuss is obviously the breakup. Otani is definitely in the right here, and if you have read other comments you would think I'm wrong, except allow me to change your opinion.

Otani was walking over to Koyomi's work, not only in a rainstorm but also late at night. The first thing he sees is from the angle he was standing at is his girlfriend kissing some random guy he does know. The kiss (again from Otani's angle) lasted for more than a few seconds, he also saw Koyomi's eyes open, and she never pushed him off of herself.

A couple of days after, he sees her at 6:30 in the morning, walking to her house, and over hears that guy about to confess her feelings to her. So not only does he now know that guy was about to kiss her, or maybe even thinks he did, he questions if his own girlfriend likes him. Another thing he discovers is that they went together, were not told about it, and Koyomi was not happy to see Otani. She panics and gave a cryptic answer to him when he asked what is going on.

I hope that after reading all of my explanations as to why Otani had enough reason to end the relationship, you begin to agree with me.

Finally a logical person. Pretty detailed explanation of otani's viewpoint. It is as if nobody wants to consider that.

Bruh if MAL had an option to like a comment, I would have liked yours. Can't believe the hypocrisy. And you are on point with the pointless drama too.

I wish the show was about the naoki chi and his girlfriend instead. Instead of this bullshit drama. She just cheated on him even if she wants to act dumb. Going to a concert with a man you know tried to kiss and likes you while your boyfriend studies.

Not exactly a great episode, and made even worse by how late into the game it happened. It would be a shame to fall into pieces right now considering how wholesome and entertaining this show has always been up until this point. Umibozu for once separated people even if it isn't his actual fault of course. Two more episodes to fix this situation, even if it will probably happen.

Very exciting development near the end of this show. Kazuki is the kind of rival I have been asking for since episode 12. It's too bad he came in too late but still in time to make things interesting. I've never seen this kind of development happen near the end of a romance show before. These are just the final bumps to strengthen their relationship further.

I love those scenes of Ootani going mad with jealousy at what's happening. It's about time he experienced what Risa did earlier in the show. However, It's too bad Risa is the one that will still do the chasing.

The first 10 episodes were super cute, then the next 10 were getting tiresome like the author didn't know what to do with the characters anymore.
This episode felt like nothing was left of the two main characters we were introduced to :[ overall disappointing, and Ootani acting macho is making it hard to root for these two. Doesn't feel like his character even cares about anything anymore, literally as if he was toying with Koizumi (who has become spineless suddenly.) for the sake of making her hurt.

I feel like I should've stopped watching after she confessed to him

I really wasn't expecting drama like this from this show. This is completely Risa's fault, going on a concert with a different guy is the dumbest shit person can do, I'm not surprised Otani broke up with her.

So, a guy tries to kiss you without consent when you are sleeping. Then, instead of staying away from him or even getting mad at him, you go to a live show with him...
Otani is right to break up, not because "he misunderstood everything and from his point of view Risa is cheating on him", it's because Risa is consciously mishandling the situation.

My opinion of Kazuki started high, but dropped like a rock when he tried to kiss Risa in her sleep. That's not cool dude!

I'm so glad that misunderstanding didn't last long, but when Kazuki offers her Umibouzu tickets and she accepted. Things got worse.

Risa going out with that dude behind your boyfriends back was foolish. Umibouzu wouldn't want that!

I'm curious to see how this all shakes out. I'm hoping the Otani and Risa ship survives this one!

Why do we have to see such drama so late into this anime.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

No way 6 months happened in one chapter. I'm shocked that after 20 episodes of love drama this is what I get, one of the worst episodes of an anime I have ever seen. I don't understand, risa and otani have 0 chemistry now, and to add salt to the wound we now have a new character that sexually assaults risa while she sleeps??? and she isn't even mad???
How do you manage to fuck it up this bad is beyond me.

This is really weird, especially considering it's the final episodes. I definitely agree with Otani, If Risa was my girlfriend, I'd be broken too after seeing her go with some other guy. It's not about whether she has feelings or not, It's about sharing moments with your loved one. Risa really is a dumb girl, After all the effort she went to win Otani, She does stuff like this. I seriously cannot believe the writing here and to think that at the start of this show, I was like this is gonna be an enjoyable anime. Definitely gonna reduce my score after that.

Let's not forget the fact that Risa just ignored that guy trying to kiss her, If it was some other girl then he'd get his brains bashed. Wth is wrong with her seriously. That's like attempted sexual assault and she just brushed it off? Nah lol.
