THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Wow, what an ending! Does Mao like Kouichi? What's going to happen with Kai?! Will Futami ever consider Aihara a friend?!!!! Are we going to see those frogs again?!?!?! What is the capital of Iceland? (lol)

Anyways, I'm really anticipating the next episode. Episode 8 was pretty good. I particularly enjoyed the humour. The art went a bit off at times but it was generally good. In addition, Mao particularly looked cute in this episode >.< So what did you guys think?

I'm still confused by the whole Kouichi/Mao thing. I mean, they seem to be friends who are going out with other people, and have never seemed to look at each other in a love interest way, and yet the ending just seems to suggest that they don't want to see each other with someone else. But then Mao helped Kouichi and the other girl in the first place.
The whole thing makes no sense. >.<

Why doesn't that make sense, they're both insecure about their feelings towards each other. That's a given if you've grown up together. It's easier to get a another girl/boyfriend.

Anyway, good episode. I enjoyed seeing Eriko smile and I'm looking forward to the next episode, it will have swimsuits. :D

If I had a friend as hot as Mao, I probably be jealous too even if I consider her to be my sister.

It looks like Kouichi and Yuumi be kissing the next episode! :-)

Thanks to episode 08 we can see just how clear Kai's actions are. It's also easy to see that him taking a hold of her hand was totally out of impulse --- you can see from his shocked face after the two are brought together (cute blushing time). I would have loved to see what happened right after this, though i'm guessing because we didn't see, it was something not that important. He probably apologies, and that was it. Maybe even a thank you from her.

Regarding Kouichi and his SHOCKED FACE OF WONDERS --- i keep thinking they'll go with the "i can't believe you didn't tell me" path. I guess it all depends on what happens here to do with Kouichi x Mao. Oh and speaking of Kouichi, yay he finally did something regarding Yumi. I look forward to seeing their 'date' in action.

& yeah poor Kazuki. I'm not going to say he got what he deserved, because he did forget the kind of person Erika is, though we can see from this outing that she can change from the ice queen that she is --- though it'll probably take around 7 evens for him to click onto that.

Yeah, agreed with both of you. I saw that part at the ending and I was just like "No, no, you're gonna mess it all up!"

Ah, but I felt really bad for Kazuki =/ But I think he remembered what kind of person Eriko is, which explains the little smile after the shocked expression.

Kai was pretty cool. Even on impulse, very slick of him to hold Mao's hand like that.
Yay for Kouichi and Yuumi. Finally a date, and supposedly as kiss next episode in their swimsuits >_>
Mao had awesome faces in the beginning.

I agree. Theres a few ways you can interpret their relationship right now.
1) They where just in shock.
2) She didn't want Kouchi to find out about Kai because she likes him.
3) She cant figure out her feelings.

and judging from this episode and everything shes said I'm guessing it's 3. When shes talking to Eriko Futami in the nurses office she says "I cant even figure my self out" then again later, when she's talking to Kai about his confession she mentions that she has to sort out her feelings. This only leads me to believe that she has some kind of crush on Kouchi but at the same time likes being with Kai. So shes trying her best to keep the two in the dark and try and figure out who she wants to be with.

My guess is, the only reason she hooked Kouchi up with Yuumi was to make him happy since it was apparently obvious he had a crush on her. Now where probably gonna see some jealousy between the 4 and some random drama.

PS. props to Eriko, shes so cute even though shes so cold. I hope things work out for her somehow.

I don't think it's so complicated as it's necessarily made out to be. If you look at the series, it's a very simple series. Kouchi and Mao may end up having feelings for eachother, and if they do and that's the way it goes, I'm sure it'll move somewhat smoothly (the whole damn show moves smoothly).

It also could just very well be that they feel like the other is going away. I mean, Mao says "he doesn't have as much time to spend with me anymore because he has a girlfriend". Friendships (even sibling-like ones) change when you get significant others. Whatever the case may be, I don't think there's going to be any drastic upheavals in this series.

In regards to Eriko - I was wondering if Hiiragi isn't almost better for her: he's not afraid of her like Kazuki is! I really like Kazuki and Sakino though, so I could be biased.

And I hope the frogs never return! Muwahahaha... *cough*.. err....

yaaaa... i keep falling in love with Kai~~that blushing moment.. i do really hope mao-kai do stay together, towards the ending i was kinda puzzled though..but maybe it is just what Shiroth have said, kouichi just felt as if mao didn't tell him about her going out with kai.. hopefully it is not a 'key' of realization of mao-kouichi feelings for each other...

ya it will probably transition smoothly no matter what happens next. Even if we do find out she likes Kouchi, chances are they wont end up together simply because thats how the story has been progressing so far, Kouchi with the shy girl and Mao with Kai. Although they could pull something random out of their asses (which i'm hopping for) and have Kouchi and Mao together in the end. But its doubtfully.

I agree.

Kai is a lamer. I actually didn't like this episode that much. Cheesy a bit? OMG SOMEONE IS GOING TO RUN YOU OVER WITH A BIKE, HERE LET ME GRAB YOUR ARM AND PULL YOU INTO ME. Give me a break.

The ending with the blushing between Kouichi x Mao made some sense. I'd think Kouichi should be a little hurt as Mao didn't tell him anything about Kai.

Anyway, Mao x Kouichi. Yuumi's alright, but eh, she's too shy.

I'm liking this show less and less. I really don't like futami and it annoys me how everyone is so accommodating of her. Sakino actually apologizes to her when Futami was the one who was totally rude in the library. Same for Mao. Also about Mao, I didn't like how she was avoiding Kai from the beginning. It just seemed childish and inconsiderate. Then Nana goes and confronts Futami like it's any of her business and causes for that awkward scene. That really ticked me off.

I'm still not sure what to make of the end. I don't think Kouichi and Mao necessarily have romantic feelings toward each other. If they end up together, I will hate this show.

Too much Futami time this episode >_>

Mao better keep her hands of Koichi. To try and go after him when she's the one who got him closer to Hoshino would suck. I'm hoping that whole scene with them averting eyes was just because of she didn't want her relationship known at that time.

wow... yeah. i guess kouchi finally has noticed his feelings towards mao, either that or he started to realize that if she is going out with kai, he cant hang around her like he used to. ive noticed there are alot of girls in mangas and animes that will give up their happiness for the ones they love/like like in SCHOOL DAYS.

i give props to kai for his smooth moves =]

First of all: AWWW!
That was the sweetest slickest hand-hold I have ever seen :D

I love Kai! Especially with him apologising and shiz for the previous episode, really glad that they didn't go avoiding each other for aaaages like so many other anime.

The glances at the end of these episodes really annoy me! Before there was the Mao look, and now these looks at the end of this! HE CALLS HER -NEECHAN!! ahh, really don't them to go down that road, I loved having main characters without any romance between them :'(
..Plus i'm loving Kai and Hoshino.

LOL xDDD
But seriously I don't know what to think anymore.. I mean, Kouichi and Mao just seem like childhood friends for me, two people who grew up as siblings. Having love relationship between them is a little... I don't knoe, they just don't fit together. I love Mao and Kai, even though he loves her while she's not sure about her feelings, I think there's a big chance she will be able to fall for him, and if yes - they just fit perfectly.
Also Yuumi and Kouichi, they're both so clueless but it's cute, they fit together and they make a good couple in my opinion.
That's why it's pretty hard for me to think about Mao and Kouichi, it's kinda off for me. :/

Got to try that berry-berry ramen once in my life. I expect more development from Aihara's side, he interests me with the two girls. The shock value of the end is just rather...unbecoming. I have to admit that I am kind of okay with the pace of the story, and given that this will be presented in an omnibus format, that is when the story may branch out after the first half or so. It is rather unique, as I thought that it would be similar to Amagami given they are from the same company (VN). Whereas, Kimikiss thus far has not transit into omnibus yet, so I am waiting for further and better progress for the following episodes.

Yep , They're just trying to feel each other . Such "Reckless love" I suppose ~ .
Certainly a girl of weirdness . Bad taste is conclusive enough ~ .
So ,you can give love advice but in reality , you haven't experienced it at all .
Great Episode . The confusing feeling ~ .
