Haha, I guess everyone loved this episode to no end.

I agree, a powerful episode indeed. I love Kazehaya! He looks so sexy. lol. His 'sex' hair was awesome.
I hope Sawako clears up the misunderstandings soon and beat the 'sh--' out of the one who started the rumors. I love Sawako's personality, I feel like I used to be somewhat like that...back in middle school. She looks so beautiful with her hair up. She should keep her hair up, always. @ Annisa ~ I also agree that Sawako is a very realistic character.

Rawr! I also can't wait for the next episode...but I'll be a good boy this time and wait for next episode. I'm not gonna eat any cookies this time!!!

I would count more on Yano and Yoshida for this. They would pin down the person and beat that person up.

I'd put my money on Sawako's first friend,Shino, the one who she said the explanation to that confused Yano and Yoshida. Shino was Sawako's only real friend at the beginning of the series right? It would make sense if she was doing it out of jealousy or something

Rather annoying episode. These 'misunderstandnings' better be cleared up soon.

Most likely the girl who helped Sawako with picking up the papers in episode 3. Pretty obvious.

Those girls are great, i can't believe they laughed at first :D I didn't think they'd disregard the rumors like that, it's a nice surprise :) I'm glad they didn't doubt Sadako at first.
I really like those girls, they're pretty good friends ^^

No it would teach the person who spread them not to mess around with Sawako and make her sad. Sawako would not be able to hurt anyone but Yano and Yoshida could. Sawako is too gentle and pure to dirty her hands with physical violence.

Misunderstandings are always annoying, but it was really just... sad in this episode. What I liked was that Yano and Yoshida didn't jump to the conclusion that Sawako spread the rumors at first. And even after they had their doubts, they still didn't want to believe it. I'm liking the way that was handled.

btw, I find Sawako very realistic. I know people exactly like her as well, who try to please everyone and give the wrong impression at the same time. I think one of the reasons why this anime moves people so much is because, even though you may not feel the same as Sawako, she is easy to sympathize with; and on some level, perhaps everyone has felt like her at least once in their life. Just my opinion.

That was the first episode that I really enjoyed (maybe because there was less Kazehaya? He really irritates me). I'm really looking forward to the next episode.

I think the one who spreads the rumor is the girl we saw in the 3rd and 4th episodes.

Man, that went from awesome -becuse the episode began with more of the same of what we had in episode3- to awkward (in an awesome way) -because there just had to be some drama at some point- to lame (in a lame way) -because all this misunderstanding stuff went a little to far for my taste. Example: "We like you, do you like us?" "Rather than like.. i.. i...", "OK WE SEE HOW IT IS OMFG". I thought those two would know by know that Sadako was like that already.

Meh. Awesome show continues to be awesome.. but this could have been awesomerer. Maybe I should check out the manga as well.

I also think that the person spreading the rumors is the pretty girl that helped Sawako pick up the papers. Sawako's D:~ PRETTY~ response to her would just be random and whatever if she wasn't supposed to have some significance later.

I liked this episode a lot. There were really funny parts, but some plot development too.

Is the person who started that rumors the girl we saw the past few episodes? The one that helped Sawako pick up the papers she dropped and the one that looked at Kazehaya?

That would be a good guess imo.

Anyway, powerful episode.

LOL wow. Sawako is acting like this because she's suddenly been thrown into interaction with other people. She's not used to it, so she doesn't know how to react.

And ew, the ED sucks.

I agree that the girl that helped Sawako with papers probably is the one spreading rumors. I feel sorry for Sawako because this ep shows missed opportunities to finish sentences. People should realize she's new to socializing on a regular basis and let her finish what she's talking about (cough* yano and yashido*). I can't wait for the rumors to be resolved . . . but I wonder how Sawako and even Kazehaya will respond if it is the other girl (since he seems to be friends with her)

Hahaha, so true.

I'm amazed that I'm enjoying this so much. The characters are pretty like-able and it doesn't help that I approve Kazehaya+Sawako. :P Makes it hard for me to dislike this series.

I guess it isn't bad to watch a good shoujo once in a blue moon since I mostly read a lot of shounen manga anyway.

Even though I totally disagree with the decision to add uneeded drama (in this way), the execution of this episode was a whole lot better than I expected. Sawako was given very solid reasons for all of her thoughts, and the other two did as well. No one's mad at each other, they're just all hurt, and too uncomfortable to say anything directly. That's high school.

I'm hoping that the show isn't so contrived in the future, even if it is well executed. I'd like for this show be more different than that. I think that will be the difference between the show getting a 7 and an 8 or 9 from me.

Still liked the episode though.


I partially agree with you, but I think that it wasn't necessarily unneeded drama. As you said, it's high school and there are definitely going to be misunderstandings that's just how school life works. What I was impressed by is the fact that Yano and Yoshida handled this much better than most anime high school characters would and didn't instantly turn on Sawako. In fact, they feel horrible just considering the fact that she may have spread the rumors.

As for Sawako, I find it fairly believable that people with low self esteem like her exist. Especially in High School. Sure, it's frustrating to see her revert back into her shell but the whole point of the show, ultimately, is her becoming a more open person because of her friends.

I'm still annoyed by the whole chibi thing though, but that is an issue I have with shoujo in general and it comes with the territory.

fuck this was a great episode.. excellent music.. transition of events.... I was in the middle of watching porn then I watched this episode because there were interceptors.. after I watched this episode my need for sexual pleasure involuntarily stopped...

to all haters out there drop this already.. this show doesn't need watchers like you!!!!
Sorry for the harsh words.. weeeeeeeeee but if you feel hate after watching this.. I'd suggest that you let the anime end first then continue watching the show.. If it still does not turn the way you want it to be.. then drop the show... hahaha I don't understand what i'm saying!!!

This time, the company can't really cram 2 chapters in 1 episode. Its actually from chapter 4 and 1/2 (from chapter 5).

Note : The manga starts from chapter 0.

I'm sure that next episode will be a better 1. But in the mean time 4/5 for this.

I never read the manga and just got into the anime. I thought the first episode was decent (but not great), but the quality of three subsequent episodes left me stunned. I haven't seen a slice-of-life with a cast of this depth and likability since Honey and Clover.

As for this episode, it was agonizing to watch all the misunderstandings that resulted from Sawako's reluctance and improper expression of her feelings. It was also refreshing that her two clasmates--forgot their names--had faith in her and were aware that Sawako wasn't that kind of person, rather than believe those rumors and start avoiding her off the bat like in many other shoujo works.

This and Kuuchuu Buranko are the only highlights of the season for me and I can't wait for more episodes :D

I had to see it again. So Pin believes Sawako really cursed him? XD Probably was hallucinating because he was drunk. Sawako needs to express herself more but I wished someone would reach out to her more (that would be me) but in the case of this series, Kazehaya will get to her and will find the culprit. I have faith in him at least.

hmm.... as a guy, i just can't cry when i watch this. i don't know how you people can, it's 4 episodes in and i feel like i barely know her. that being said, the ending really left me feeling unsatisfied and restless. i really kept thinking this episode, don't let it end like this or i'm going to end up feeling really shitty, but they did, and I did. I guess that's what you might call good drama?

I kind of wish there was a better mechanism for causing drama than misunderstandings since it's almost always the cause when a lead character is portrayed as someone who can do no wrong... i guess you can fault her inability to speak up and her low self-esteem but that's not exactly creating more depth for her character. i would rather have a situation where she is entirely to fault and we could blame her and hate her for it. at least that way she'd strike me as a failable human being instead of this saint she is portrayed as. having the loser mentality is also something overdone in anime where there's this unbelievably kind and gentle person who lets people walk all over them. it's just not that much different from the norm...

don't get me wrong, it's the best rom-com this season (though not much to choose from), but it seems so formulaic and predictable at this point. i guess i just think it could be better.

I was actually beginning to worry last episode, it seemed that they were kind of falling into the rut of, I've already seen this, but episode four was exactly what this series needed. There was so much painful adolescent confusion coming from this episode it was beautiful. I was on the verge of crying a few times. The lows are done very well, while I'm thinking the highs are going to be glorious if they can pull it off without this type of plot getting stale. Great episode!
