| Haruki, you lucky man! :) |
| Haruki must've had a boner during the hotspring event. That lucky bastard. XD |
 |
| pretty chill |
 |
| So glad Haruki is a good MC. The anime seems to be progressing a lot despite there still being so many episodes left. |
 |
| Seriously, Haruki is such a lucky and unlucky guy at the same. He have two girls clinging up to him, but it's such an awkward and ifficult situation to deal with. Even more that Setsuna really seem to want him to admit his feeling about Touma. I guess one more episode before their relationship crumble appart. |

| I don't know why but I just can't really get into this. My head says "yeah, this show is pretty good" but my feels say "Somehow I don't care about what happens to them". :/ |
| That ending <3 Pretty nice hot spring episode if I say so myself :3 |
 |
| Loved this. Before the kiss, I felt like Haruki liked Toumo for sure - there were so many little clues, little looks - and it's good to see that wasn't just fake suspense. I feel like they'll show that scene of her teaching him guitar and that's when we'll find out that he's liked her ever since That's my story and I'm holding to it |
| Well, that was an unexpected calm. Is it just me, or does it seem like there are parental vibes going on here (with Setsuna as the "child")? Speaking of Setsuna, I'm not sure I "get" her. First she was super jealous/clingy, now she's gone into the opposite extreme... to the point of making Touma get in the hot tub with herself and Haruki. I'm going to lol if this ends with Haruki somehow getting both girls. It would decrease the quality of the show, but it'd be funny. Anyway, to be a bit more serious, Haruki is pretty indecisive. He clearly likes Touma, but she's making it hard for him to tell how she feels. It's quite obvious with Setsuna, on the other hand, and he apparently as least has an infatuation with her. It's hard to tell how this will end. I get the feeling this calm situation won't last long, regardless. I'm glad he's a modest guy... unlike a few people in here. I know it's a show, but what the crap guys? Females are people too. Please lay aside your fantasy of being in a hot tub with two girls like that for a moment and be a tad realistic about it. If you're decent, it'd either be really awkward, or you wouldn't be thinking about it in those ways. <.<; Cool episode. Although there's a lot of tension, I think that episode is going to help take the edge off of whatever drama is coming, for me anyway. |
| Did anyone else notice the swastika on the map at 11.05? |
| All this build up.... I thought they were gonna pull the 'car accident' card at first, but I'm glad they didn't. Hopefully the climax won't disappoint. Hard to come by decent anime nowadays. I liked the first White Album so.. I'm hopeful that I'm not wasting my time with this one Also... Touma > Setsuna since Ep 1 just sayin'.... Prediction: Touma's mom came to get her to move to Paris. The MC decided to stop her from going at the last min (airpot scene of some sort). Touma reciprocate the feeling she had for him all slong. Setsuna = heartbroken but she knew it was inevitable. Then they all grow up and move on with Touma, MC, and Setsuna leading different lives but still friends... or some big accident happen, and we get to see a Kimi ga Nozomu Eien rip-off. I'm hoping it's not either of those.... Though in the preview from first EP, there is a scene where Touma and MC kissed. So, I'm more incline to think that Touma will take the initiative. But she just wanted to get the feeling off her chest even though she doesn't really want to hurt Setsuna (female logic). But Setsuna just happened to be there when they kissed and all hell broke lose. Then we get to guess who MC will pick, but he probably won't because he doesn't want to hurt any of them. The End. |

| I just got a felling... that ending will be very dramatic... it is just too calm to be true. I'm rooting for Setsuna, I'm totally fallen with her (I'm the only one? heh. Lucky me :D). I don't hate Kazusa, I actually like her very much, but Setsuna... <3 |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| tokeya is getting left out. though, he was never really apart of their triangle anyway. but that bath scene tho. |
 |
| Oh Touma, you big troll. Give Setsuna a break. |
| This triangle is awkward. |
 |
| Nice episode. So I guess Setsuna and Haruki are going out. I wanted Touma to win. Oh well. I feel a love triangle there. Touma is definitely hiding her feelings. It also kida looks like Haruki has some feeling for Touma. I know Setsuna wants the three of them to stay together but to go into the hot springs together is a bit far. I'm surprised the girls were completely okay with being naked with Haruki. "I want things to stay like this forever..." Geez, I wonder what going to happen?! I can feel bad things happening soon. For Setsuna at least. I really like that ED. |
| The episode demonstrates interesting regarding the dialogues, never predictable; the narrative is slow and slow as in a SOL. Only thing not really worthy of all this is the quality of the drawings quite enough; same for animation really the limit of decency and with a horrible CG. |
 |
| The great thing about this anime is the drama isn't blown out of proportion and it isn't a mess (at least not yet). Most anime similar to this creates a lot of unnecessary drama so I can appreciate this anime for steering away from that especially with episodes like this. Can anyone tell me who wrote the music in that notebook though and the importance of her getting the notebook back a couple of episodes ago? It's been on my mind a lot recently so I thought I'd ask it up now. |
| @hirareth_soul Takeya gave her the notebook with music/lyrics that belonged to Haruki. His dream for a song of his to be played was in that notebook. I believe the song was made by him while he thought of Kazusa. She wanted that notebook back because it was Haruki's , because she was working on making the music for his song and because she was in love with him. That notebook was her way of being close to him without looking like a tsundere. I think that he goes out with Setsuna only to keep her happy and sane after she told him all her friends betrayed her and stopped talking to her. Maybe he likes her a little but i am sure he does not love her. |
| That moment when you watch a love triangle imagining that you are the MC and how would you solve things out xD Haruki sure is in a messed up situation... But it's pretty much his fault he didn't solved it earlier. This is so exciting! |
 |
| Hehe that's a coincidence, watching this episode also on Christmas. |
  |
| Setsuna is painfully aware of the true feelings of the 2. That's why she insists on the being together as a group thing. I like how this series avoids some of the repetitive clichés most rom coms have. The reactions of the characters feel natural and not stupid. |

| Huh, I don't hate Setsuna, usually I'm totally into this kind of silly yet loveable cutie, but for some reason I find Kazusa to be more... relatable? She keeps her feelings to herself, not announcing them to entire world (or, possibly even to herself), but I also love her realistic and adult approach to life, especially when compared to Setsuna's "I just wanna be together~" :> Or that she makes them spend time together, NAKED, nevertheless, when she is the one aware of Haruki's and Kazusa's feelings toward each other... Like, no way that's gonna last girl @_@ I'm not even surprised that Haruki would fall for Touma, especially since he seems to be into her coolness. |

Three years to reply, but I just decided to pick up this series, and enjoyed it quite a bit. The "swastika" is reversed, which means it's the symbol for Buddhism. Likely the marker for a temple. I like that the series has a lot of subtleties that are not quite as obvious until you stop to think about it. Another example is the left-hand drive BMW 5-series that Kazusa is driving. Never explained, but it's easy enough to guess that since her mom lives in France (and then Austria), the car might have belonged to her mom and imported into Japan from there. Which explains the LHD, and the fact they could not rely on the built-in GPS since it likely only had the map of Europe. Not very useful when trying to find a remote onsen in the middle of Japan... |

| the hints for the love triangle...but I guess the three were getting along |
 |
| Hmm she can anything if she tries, dream girl friend Kazusa Touma. |
Look at this player. Keep up the harem. If Touma ends up winning I'll be pissed. Idols are always the charmers. |
 |
| Woooot ;d He just saw them both naked when jumping to the onsen O.o and no fuss about it from the girls :D I can understand they bathe together, but entering without him turning away? Setsuna is plotting something... |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| Strong NTR vibes lol |
 |
| It's interesting to see how Haruki reacted when Kazusa said ''what if I get a boyfriend though?'', and Setsuna immediately sees right through him: I also love the part on the roof where Setsuna says: ''You see, this was where I first joined you two in making music, where I first forced myself in between you two''. She knows everything already, well she always knew actually, Setsuna was never a silly and innocent girl to begin with. At the same time, I wonder if Haruki and Kazusa could've formed a genuine bond with each other if it wasn't for Setsuna, the feelings between them already existed, in a platonic form, but Setsuna is probably the reason they got so close to each other, and ironically the reason everything fell apart. |

| Very beautiful episode. Setsuna and Touma are so cute. And this episode felt almost yuri (and it better be so, they look so good together. "If you were guy" - girl, there is such thing as yuri lol. "If i were a guy i would steal her from you" - girl, just make it yuri and save this anime from what will happen next 😭) But i really like this winter snowy aesthetic. And i like the interactions between the three main characters. Its very funny, if not this sadness that hangs in the air when you know the truth about them... Touma drives a BMW, ojou-sama fr. And one of my favorite anime moments - hot springs. Kitahara is a lucky bastard, bathing with two girls. About their relationships... Kitahara is starting being annoying. He pays too much attention to Touma, although his girlfriend is Setsuna. I can guess where this will lead and it would be better if the girls really sent him far away and started dating each other, also he is clearly not worthy of them because he is boring and ordinary. But the trip to the springs was really nice and fun. |
