| I'm quite happy with how they've paced everything, the series really exceeded my expectations. They're also really heavily promoting the bluray and DVD here in Akihabara so it looks like things have turned out quite well for the series :-) |

| morikawa x yoriko best ship |
| Next episode will make or break this anime |
 |
| Well they passed both of their exams I guess. Finale is gonna be all confessions. Someone's gonna get hurt. :( |

Yasu said: To be completely honest, I think Eita failed. I'm usually really sharp on reading facial expressions and I'm putting my money on the fact that he failed. But isn't Mio's university super lightweight compared to the hardcore one he got a recommendation into? Based on his grades he should have aced that. |
| Decent build up,now all I'm hoping for is a good conclusion. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I am considering... Is that intersting watching some youngsters studyng and doing exams? If it is why I am not in an university watching in real like? Ok, enough. Its only wha I thought after watching this one only motivated to the confession and if they pass the exam. Courious about that will happen next episode. |

Him failing would honestly make sense in this context. He still has the recommendation for the other one and the Mio enrolled as well. If I am not mistaking stuff, they would still end together in the one university. He is still ending with Komiya, though. That is right but I dunno about Ena, she seems like she won the competition but still gonna get the short end of the stick, apart from her club being saved. If Eita passed then they go to different schools and Ena would be 100% game. If Eita failed then it's the same school as Mio but then Ena has 0% chance since confessions will happen from both him and Mio. |
| Honestly...as much as I want this to be a happy ending for everyone, it's pretty obvious who Izumi will end up with WITHOUT even completely understanding whether Izumi passed or not... My reasoning behind the ending that I predict: For the past few episodes, we were able to see Komiya's love from her perspective...not particularly in this episode, but we see when she realizes her love for him. We see her gradually being drawn towards him and his existence begins to give her happiness and she longs for him. Yet, while she clearly has the courage to confess and makes her feelings very obvious, she does not have the courage to accept his response so it seems like she uses this photography competition as a source of hope. Yes, her love for him is obvious but also the dedication she shows by going to all those shrines--it shows how much she cares about him. When Komiya ends up giving him obligatory chocolate, instead, and deletes the photo, with a heartfelt apology for what she did to him, it shows how much she does not want to hurt him and wants him to be happy in the end. From our point of view makes it seem like the two were meant for one another, yet it is a dream, and the reality is that Izumi and Natsume both like one another. Komiya becomes aware of this dream she has been living yet pursues and holds onto winning the photography competition as a goal. In this episode she is positive that he will pass his exams which is puzzling since she both wants to confess her feelings and wants him to pass which seem contradictory. In the end, she has a goal to save the photography club and in the end, her goal of having him reciprocate her love was never something that drove her. Her actions, her love, were all wishing for his happiness and his success. Of course in the beginning, Komiya secretly longed for there to be another ending, but I honestly think that she wants to confess just to show how much she admires and appreciates how he has impacted her. Due to her personality, and understandably wishing for a happy ending for herself, she may still hold onto hope, but I believe that in the end she is content with his happiness. It is absolutely heartbreaking, but I believe this ending will be true to what kind of character she is and will definitely show what kind of loving person is. This is why I definitely think in the next episode, Natsume is going to confess to him no matter the outcome and the two will end up together. Komiya will confess, but in the end her feelings can never change the feelings Izumi and Natsume have for one another. Even when we look in the opening, we see Komiya admiring Izumi from a far, capturing high school memories and not really being a part of them. It honestly breaks my heart that she has been an observer and has no place to belong, but capturing other people's happiness is something she has always been doing. It would not surprise me if seeing Izumi's smile from a distance with Natsume will honestly be a great source of happiness for her, since this is the kind of character she is. I don't want to accept this kind of ending, but I believe it reflects reality which is what this show has been trying to reflect. |

| Pretty tense episode. Unsure whether or not Eita passed. That smile was a little strange. I wish I knew whether or not the recommendation holds up even if he passes his test. Assuming it does, Mio wins every time. Passes -> confesses to Mio -> realizes she changed schools -> accept the still active recommendation -> Rip Ena. Fails -> doesn't confess -> Mio still confesses -> realized she changed schools -> accept recommendation -> Rip Ena. I don't think Ena can say anything to stop this, but if he did pass and his recommendation is no longer acceptable, then Eita and Mio will be separated -> victory for the best girl. |
| Suddenly, Natsume-oriented episode out of nowhere... it feels bit forced this late into the game (with no real build-up between them before, just constant awkwardness) and I kinda fear where this is all going. Dunno what Ena's face in the gallery should meant but Eita's smile probably means he was admitted too. Now to obvious confess to Mio and reject Ena I guess... or maybe not? Either this series tries to stay true with life, providing us big life lesson how the love and chemistry really works and Komiya wins or it will stay idealistic, going with predetermination, bounding two beings by so called red string of fate that only exists in stories and Natsume wins. And I would honestly want to see the former for a change, it would make this series a lot more memorable and true to real life if you ask me. |
| oh boy oh boy, shit is about to get SUPER dramatic. Once Eita and Natsumi both learn what each other did because of one another, ooowweeeee. It's gonna be a dramafest next episode with confessions and heartbreaks. |
Gintama > One Piece = Naruto > Bleach > DBZ Nyanko Big is my spirit animal. |
| Mio is certainly not best girl. It wouldnt bother me as much if she had more development and interaction with Eita instead of spending the last 5 episodes looking like a sadsack. Of course we know how this will end, god forbid this anime from trying something different. |
| They kept up with the going to each others colleges by the way of secrets bit, but thankfully Haruto and Hazuki figured it out before it's too late! Now they can clear up this misunderstanding and... oh... they're not doing anything. What fantastic friends. Also, the little back and forth with Izumi's and Natsume's lines to each other during the exam reminded me how little chemistry the two have with each other. If it wasn't for them claiming to like each other over and over, I wouldn't even think the two of them were acquaintances in the same social circle. Onward to the finale, at this point I'm sure there's a solid 5% chance I won't be disappointed. |
 |
| Looks like all three got good results. I’m rooting for the EnaXEita ship til the end still. Kinda obvious for a while now that Mio is gonna win tho. |
| Entrance Exam episode! looks like both passed the exam from the looks of their expression. 1 more episode left to see if it would be Mio or Komiya! 4/5. |
 |
| I'm gonna call it, Komiya will win Haruto and Izumi's convo this episode hints that Izumi will go full retard and be like: "hey Mio, I heard from Haruto that Morikawa is being really an indecisive selfish bitch, so go do your best I'll root for you" Ayy lmao And he'll go for Komiya. Everybody's happy. Komiya ftw |
Yasu said: To be completely honest, I think Eita failed. I'm usually really sharp on reading facial expressions and I'm putting my money on the fact that he failed. exactly my thought |
| There is this cool Starset song that starts with "Mayday! Mayday! The ship is slowly sinking..." #TeamEnaButItSeemsHopeless Anyway, I think Eita actually failed and he was smiling because Haruto had already told him about Mio's change of first choice. |
Was I the only one who noticed Keita Amano's cameo?  |
Wow, I totally missed that. Nice easter egg. |
One episode left, doubts arise ¿what awaits to the main love relationship of this anime? I only hope that Izumi will choose this preciousness. 5/5 Just Because! don't disappoint me. |
 |
| Everyone passed, that's good. I had forgotten they applied for different universities. That sucks |
 |
| I'm hyped and scared for the final episode, I like Natsume but I don't want to see Komiya rejected. :/ |
| Wait. Are they going to different universities without realizing it? This is going to be the most troll ending ever lmao. RIP in fucking peace. |
_Daniel said: Someone can remember me why Natsume change her university choice ? She doesn't want to follow her sister's footsteps after being told by.. her sister. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| Both got accepted , hyped for last episode tomorrow |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| It looks like they both passed and Komiya won. Let's see how this concludes. |
 |
| Mio is such a nice girl, she works harder. Izumi is doing the test and don't have idea that Mio changed her mind and is going to the same uni as him! Now that the results are all here, next episode will be crucial...but I guess it's a Mio x Izumi end. |
 |
| "Do you not have any normal stickers?" lol. |

| I'm glad that Mio and Morikawa had another chance to talk with each other. It makes me happy to see those two get along. Looks like this episode is exam day. Am I the only one thinking that Eita failed on his exam? Although the recommendation he got is better than the one he took, which doesn't really make sense, but things may go unexpected. Seeing Mio and Ena's reaction, I'm glad that both of them made it. I'm hoping that Mio and Eita would end up in the same university. Looking forward to the last episode. #TeamNatsume for me hehe.  |
