| I was having a mental breakdown this episode, I didn't know which ship to go, but at the end, the light showed me the real answer. Fuck the Izumi x Mio X Ena ship. It's all about the Morikawa x Haruto ship! |
 |
| I couldn't love more this simple story, fills me with happiness watch each episode, each character and each interasaction that occurs between them. Just Because! It's just one of the best Slice of Life anime I've seen... 5/5 |

| It's kind of weird how a lot of people hate on Natsume so much. And most of the reasons why are the same like she takes Izumi for granted or she isn't very assertive. Where Komiya is the opposite. She's pushing forward actually trying to push their relationship further, it's her personality. We've seen a lot of this since the first episode. Natsume obviously has some sort of inferiority complex to her sister. She's trying to walk in her shoes and doesn't know what she really wants, and props to her sister telling her she can take her own path. Natsume has probably always been like this since middle school and that's why her relationship with Izumi never really went anywhere, she couldn't see the obvious guy next to her. I like the Izumi and Natsume pairing because they both are sort of on their heels when it comes to things... Their personalities won't clash much. Where there is a possibility where The fiery spirit of Komiya may clash more. But I also like Izumi and Komiya because opposites attract sometimes and they have a nice flow to their relationship developing, unlike Natsume whose was cut for years then went again. Isumi and Komiya have something there that best friend Souma sees, so as he said, whatever happens, happens. In the end, I could lie with either ship really as long as some random bs happens... I don't know what that could be but it's happened before. And best girl Morikawa with the new look... poor Souma may not be able to see it. We need more of this B-level relationship so that it doesn't end with it just unanswered and a letdown. |
| You can not name your cat Puta, I mean, you can NOT name your cat Puta,.. bajeezus! I liked how Komiya knows full well the character and the extent of the competition she faces, yet remains completely unphased by it. It actually was quite a decent date, and the photo, as well as Izumi not going home early were very telling. The camerawork was quite excellent too at times, if you can say that about animation; most notably the shot in the photography club room, where Komiya appeared to be alone, untill Izumi moved into view to take a seat.

I dunno, since there are only 2 males in this show's Main Cast, and those 2 males already have girls that they like. At the end of the day, Komiya will be getting the short end of the stick ??? > _ < Or Natsume, if she tries boarding a ship when it has allready sailed. |
| "I'm a middle schooler bartender!" - Mishima Hitomi |
I'm sticking with Team Natsume until the end. |
| The date was nice despite Natsume staring daggers. It was nice to see the edges between the two smoothen out as they went on. Plus it's Haruto approved which must mean it's a good thing. Natsume on the other hand, really needs to figure out what she wants. Following her sisters path in life, clinging to the fact she likes Haruto without doing anything about it for around 5 years, all while keeping the Izumi card available. |
 |
| Never thought this would happen to me; that, for the first time, I'm equally okay with the MC ending up with either of the girls. ^^ |
| Komiya's cat is the best thing saklgjksal but it's really sad that the show has only 12 eps :c Well, its not like that i dont like Natsume but she's being too much, i mean she've loved x -i dont remember his name- and 'just because' Komiya is talking with Izumi, her love is gone suddenly and she's jealous of Izumi :// KomiyaxIzumi are better together. Hope Izumi realises that too. |
| Dat cat... true MVP there :D Anyway, the episode was good, although I honestly start to hate Mio here, her undecesiveness is hell, and jealousy too (how can even find okay to meddle into someone else's date and to forbid anything to anyone when she rejected him before?). Well, not that she is written badly - she isn't - cause I certainly know those types of girls IRL too but let's say I just hate behavior like that. If she honestly wanted him to win, she would smile near him and have fun with him a lot as boys don't really want girls who are self-pitying themselves). And on the other hand, I love easigoiness and frankness that Komya show Natsume and Eita are lost cause anyway, they don't work with each other, while Komiya x Eita sure has the best chemistry out there. If the doesn't end together I would be pissed honestly. |
thesarcasticguy said: Puta,' which means bitch in Portuguese tooWow, that was one awkward train ride... So Ena went on that "date" she wanted, although it was weird. I found it funny that Ena calls her Cat, 'Puta,' which basically means 'bitch' in Spanish lol. Morikawa looked pretty good in her new hairstyle. I think Mio will follow Izumi to the university he is going to while he chooses Suizen(Mio's University) and then they will tell each other that they chose each other's Universities and they'll realize that they have both chosen the wrong one and that will be it. |
| i think this will remain to be anime's core problem, lot of things rushed because of the episode limits, and if you want more coherent, un-rushed story (which means more episodes), it's not cheap at all, that is why just because, amid its fantaastic idea (in my opinion), is rushed in many ways anyway the progress here is substansial, i like both natsume and ena (especially her because of her great development across the show), also does anyone noticed better animation in this episode? natsume-wise, i think it's still gonna be her, not just because she's the main, but when you look at her complex background (last eps with her unluckiness, now her sister) |
 |
| It's a real shame she didn't have a dog named Puta. That would have been funnier. This love triangle is intense. I love it. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| lol that train ride was hella awkward hopefully the animation issues are over behind the scenes ,it looked good this week Morikawa took that dressing up to heart could barely tell it was her |

| Am I the only one found this ghost car??? |

| Haters keep hating on Komiya, this episode proved she is best girl. Puta outranks a certain female character as well. That Morikawa and Eita meet up at the end was interesting and funny. She definitely overheard what transpired between Eita and Komiya so it will be interesting to see the outcome next week. Look we all know who Eita will be with in the end. However they are doing certain things in the anime which makes us question..."Well maybe not..." Such as Eita taking Komiya's picture, noticing a different side to her, hearing about how he's comfortable around her. While I do enjoy that I overlook it because I know what will happen in the end. |

| Ena is so great. She straight up didn't listen to what Natsume had said, and asked Eita out... just because. But seriously, she is definitely on the attack; even knowing that Natsume and Eita are into each other, she pushes on. Also she was super cute in the beginning when she was nervous to send the text. Their actual date wasn't as cute as it could have been, but I guess it makes sense considering how the characters feel. |
| Komiya's date with Eita was pretty fun to watch, loved the part where she told him she'd confess if she won the prize. Morikawa at the end was so much win. xD |
 |
| Komiya continues to show why she's best girl, however I'm still on Team Natsume....I need her and Eita to get together already but as for Komiya, I think she and Eita work better as friends tbh As for Haruto and Morikawa, I'm really hoping that she agrees to go out with him (That scene at the end of this ep was hilarious tho lol, I can't wait to see Haruto's reaction to her new look xD) |
"Why haven't you confessed your love to Natsume yet?" "I would if I could..." That's saying something... I knew that was Morikawa at the end, but I will admit that there was something different about her. Very subtle change, but still surprising. |
 |
| oh look so many Mio fans coming out of their hideout in rage over an Ena episode Mio better drop the mentality she carried over the first arc if the writer and the director and everyone want to save this series from a convenient ending and a "no substance hype" situation. Excellent storyboard, brw. I didn't know what the director was brooding about so much they had to delay airing, but while the animation isn't a SHAFT's Monogatari series level, it's already good enough to capture the charm of the storyboard. Like, in the end, he got it just right. |
| Go for it girl! rooting for you! hehe! Komiya has such courage! LOL at Mio, her gazing eyes to Komiya is like she's pissed-off and like she's gonna kill someone! (scene 15:26) LOL I also didn't expect that bijin babe girl was Morikawa! 5/5. |
 |
| Morikawa :3 I lolled at the cat. PUTAAAA. I actually really like both girls. Komiya is an absolute cutie, and I find Mio an interesting character. I don't mind too much who wins as long as they all end up happy :') |
| 'I love you because you're you. I'm happy that you're whole. I don't care if there are sides of you that I don't know, or don't like. If that's who you are, that's fine. As long as you're whole, that's enough for me.'-Kouko Kaga |
Jorge8287288292 said: Look ena fans she has no chance to get with eita so quit already. You must not have read anything, because everyone that's even watched a mere handful of anime knows of the lazy and trite conclusion this show is going to offer. Thats independent of Komiya being infinitely better than Natsume in every way possible. Ol girl is in last place, behind even a cat now. Basura. |

It is saddening to see the growing heresy on this forum TEAM NATSUME |
Nah, it's a Tesla :D |

(I wonder why the older ladies are so high up on the list though.) Because you read it wrong, of course. Natsume's at the very bottom, where she belongs.  Keep up. |

| Guys, can't you see that the end of this episode clearly suggests a Eita X Morikawa route !! Why ? Just because... |

When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| How much time has it been since Eita transferred? Didn't Ena fall in love too quickly? Or maybe, since she hasn't had a boyfriend before, she's mistaken about her feelings? |
 |
 Protect Ena Komiya at ALL COSTS. |
|
| Komiya's cat is name Puta. In spanish is whore. Now you now something new. |
| Cute but boring episode imo ^^ |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| AND BOOM THERE IT IS. NAME OF THE ANIME. Anyway, I really like Komiya... that relationship probably won't work but it's the one I'm rooting for anyway. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
SkyLETV said: "Puta" is a fun name to read in spanish subs xD Morikawa was already beautiful so she didn't need a makeover but it suits her very well. Hahaha. I nearly cried for laughing when Puta's name was mentioned. Where I live I hear "puta" about 10x per day, but I don't associate it with cats!! He he he. |
| Komiya has really grown on me. She's an underdog and a somewhat pathetic character, but I find that appealing. I would also rather have a waifu with an interesting hobby and an abrasive personality. |
| The first time we see Haruto acts like a big bro for Eita not the other way around. Welp friendship goals. The train scene is hella intense hhhh and dayum Morikawa is qt. |

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd Boom!!! The Girl Appeared! |
| save by the cat, I'm okay with KomiyaXEita, though still hoping hoping for Natsume, I mean girl can you do something so you'll not lose to Komiya kinda surprised with Morikawa's new look O.o |
 |
Then she was tying her shoes before :D |
