Interesting episode.

They adapted
from the LN at least for the first half. I liked the way it was portrayed although it seemed a bit fast. I think Kouko had more pauses in the LN.

The flashback was painful for Linda ;.; I feel for her.

Well, now this will get complicated when the past ghost Banri has now entering his body, it was his body from beginning though.
Past Banri that still have a feeling for Linda and the currently Banri for Kouko.
This is getting intense for a dramatically one.

Meh this episode were most just a flashback . :D

Well, well. What have we here.

Kouko is ill, apparently at any rate. (She seems more depressed - perhaps she overheard Banri's conversation with Linda?) So she spends most of the episode out of the picture. Banri and Linda thus spend more time together, with a long and sweet flashback, which leads nicely into events we already knew about.

And Linda still remembers the exact words Banri said to her. Hnng moment right there.

And now it seems Banri's ghost has reentered his body? What happens next? How does he interact with Linda and Kouko? If he does. That episode preview didn't exactly look promising in that respect. I've been wondering for a while though what would happen if/when the original Banri regains control/consciousness.

I am curious about this myself. If it plays out like actual amnesia, he should have conflicting memories now. Probably a massive headache as well.

I get the feels Linda will be shocked once she comes to the realization that he now legitimately remembers everything. While koko will be crushed, when the eventual seperation occurs. However, I think she and Banri will reconcile and change for the better in the end.


The real question is, how will Linda mess her chance up?

I kinda feel sorry for Koko. She's like a big kid and won't be able to handle rejection well.

Ya, I have a feeling she will go into some deep depression. However, maybe she will learn about how his amnesia has him all screwed over. IF she really cares for him she will do everything to get him back like she was doing with Mitsuo.

So, I get the feeling she will go out of her way to impress him, eventually.

Wow. Totally didn't expect this to happen so early into the show. But this is definitely and unfortunately gonna be transient :(

I really felt bad for Ghost Banri throughout the ep. Especially after the flash backs. Man he and Linda's relationship was one of the best of couples I've ever seen and then he had to watch Banri kissing Kouko (Which was a pretty nice scene ^^)

So I take it Kouko heard Banri and Linda conversation? Because there'd be no other reason for her to get that anxious like that if she didn't. I wonder how much of it she heard.

For the flash backs, Linda was so cute and mature. Damn if it was me I'd never forgive her and just screw her up revealing the pics at once. Is that guy related to 2D-kun though? XD

Well, I didn't expect most of the ep to be about Linda and Banri. They just make it harder and harder not to ship those 2 together XD...The way I see it, Kouko has no chance with the current developments.

Can't wait to see how Pre-Banri will act now with a body? How will that affect his relationship with Kouko? How will he tell Linda? And first of all how long will this last?

Clearly Kouko heard the conversation between Banri and Linda on the balcony. That flu is just a big excuse. I know that he will end up with Kouko but I'm scared anyway, I hope everything gets back to normal, I wouldn't like to see Kouko suffer more than she has suffered so far.

I don't understand what was so bitchy about her this episode ? Did she snap on Linda or Banri ?

The fact is that Banri didn't tell her anything about his past relationship with Linda and she obviously did find out about it. That look she gave Linda and Banri in the club, and her reading the text message before at her home are clear signs for it. BTW, staying at home for a week was not just dew to a cold.

It's interesting that she reacts the complete opposite with Banri compared to what she did before with Mitsuo - bottling up her emotions inside instead of exploding at whatever girl comes close to her love interest.

But she is still a bitch. She even got to some kind of reconciliation with Chinami but she is still a bitch.

The "clingy" moment in this episode is all self-doubt. She thinks that she is not good enough to keep Banri. Kouko did say in one of the previous episodes how she want to be more like Linda.

The point is she is slowly changing. I'm perfectly fine with someone disliking her character but this episode was all about her acting differently compared to her usual self.

what linda did was right. it was none of her business, even if she's the sister. she has no right to blow it up cause who knows, perhaps that woman still loves the brother but is having an affair due to personal reasons (e.g. blackmail, lack of money for surgery or something, who knows). there's just so many factors that could explain the scene. and who in the right mind would think the brother would say "oh good job for catching that slut, you saved me".. if it's truly an affair, you let it run its course and eventually it'll blow up on its own. nobody would thank you for being a hero. in fact, you might do more harm than good. she played the 'adult' role very well.

That flashback was very sad, all Banri had to do was say he loves her and perhaps their relationship would be that of couple for Linda/Banri. As for Kouko, I'm sure she heard the conversation between Linda/Banri, and Banri saying he wanted to return to how things were between them.

YES!YES!YES! Ghost Banri is now back. I could seriously picture Ghost Banri, meeting with Linda and telling her he loves her still, and Linda all confused would probably reply with what about Kouko.

Preview for next episode shows Kouko mad, I wonder if she is going to ask Banri the same question or maybe even go deeper as to who he loves more.

The bitchy comment was regarding many previous episodes, not this one. As for her being clingy, I know it's due to self doubt, but that doesn't mean it isn't clingy. First she did it with Mitsuo and caused him problems throughout their childhood, not she's doing the same thing with Banri. She really needs to grow up.

She let the cheater go. That's not the 'adult' thing to do at all. If you consider someone important to you then you have a duty to protect them even if they may hate you for it and even if it's going to be hard for you. Pretending and ignoring it is just hiding the damage being inflicted. This is how a guy ends up raising some other guy's kid thinking it's his own. People that think like she does are just being selfish and not thinking about the person at all, they are thinking about themselves. They don't want to be the "cause" of the breakup, they don't want to possibly get blamed, and they don't want to be in the center of all of the ensuing drama that will follow.

If something like that happened to me then I would want someone to tell me. But I found out that a friend or family knew all along and didn't tell me, while I may not blame them for it, I would lose a whole lot of trust in them. And especially if marriage is on the plate.

I'm sure that everything Linda was thinking or said about her brother's fiance is coming back to haunt her now, since she is in the position of being "the other woman". Linda left, Banri recovered (to an extent) on his own, and now he is in a relationship with Kouko. Linda is trying to do the honourable thing by staying out of it, despite her obvious feelings for Banri, but at this point I hope she (and eventually Banri) can now develop some sympathy for people who are in love with more than one person at the same time.

We've seen a lot of Banri and Linda's backstory now, so sympathy is running high. I'm wondering when it will be Kouko's turn, since we began to see in this episode that she might be a lot more vulnerable and insecure than the usual front she presents to the world. Both girls have a lot of attractive features, and if the new and old Banri ever become integrated as one, he is going to be seriously conflicted over making a choice. My main question now is whether the OP and ED are trolls, because clearly Kouko x Banri has more than a few roadblocks ahead.
Please don't feed the trolls!

When Banri promises all this staff to Linda,
this hurt so much, but other part of me thought:
"Never promises things that you don't know whether you'll be able to keep."

How many anime&manga I saw where guy: "I promise I will never hurt you"
and then... "Sorry I wasn't able to keep my promise"...

I don't think is good idea, not now when he is dating Kouko.
She could tell him earlier, but she was conflicted because new Banri isn't this "old" Banri she know very well...
Now, when he started new relationship, this could be selfish that she think only about her feelings not about this how Banri can feel when he learn that she love him?

She missed her chance, even if I prefer BanrixLinda,
I still think this wasn't good if now she tell him how she feel about him.
Even this hurt her so much, she still think about his happiness, not her.
