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...

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.

As for Komiya....... 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.

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.

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.

Wow, 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.
Puta,' which means bitch in Portuguese too

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)

Nice episode. It was good to see the tension in the love triangle going up. Also, the date was very interesting and kinda intimate, since Eita could see and learn more about Ena, thus becoming more interested in her, evidenced by him taking her photo. Also, that indirect confession in the end... so good. I just hope the Eita/Ena ship happens.

As usual "I dont care about shipping, that isnt Cargo or Expedition Service"

Eita and Haruto Bromance is High level

so Natsume take an entrance exam to Suizan Daigaku because her Nee-san but her Nee-san questioning like that, maybe Natsume will take exam to University which Izumi got Recommendation
but Izumi take an entrance to Suizan Daigaku
if this will dramatic, that 2 ppl wont be at same University :|

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 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.

This episode proves that Morikawa is the best girl in this show.WTF i didn't recognize her at the end of episode. Komiya is too aggressive, natsume is too indecisive, morikawa is the most natural for me. I don't really care which one Eita end up with as long as he's happy cause i root for him.

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.

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.
