They picked the wrong romance light novel right there. Yume have to be a sickly girl if she wants to be like Sakura from KimiSui. I would personally recommend for both Mizuto and Yume to read the Oregairu LNs and see how Hachiman goes through this.

That stupidity the entire episode like might as well change the title to "Irido-kun and Ayai-chan can't communicate". I can't believe I have to use this infamous quote in this case... Do you guys have phones??? Sure they do have but man use it the way it's meant to use it. Simple communication could've fixed this problem instead of waiting for months doing nothing instead of trying to talk and fix the issue themselves.

This is just painful to watch at the same time, was actually laughing on how stupid those two are. Higashira is the best girl on this show hands down!

Believe me pal, it is really easy to say then accomplishing it

Relationships are complicated af and sometimes these things just push you even away from the thinking of finding a better solution and they were still middle schoolers and relationships aren't easy even for the adults so it does make sense

It is painful but it is what it is

Literally the best episode so far

This episode clearly depicted the relationship problems which is actually being faced by many Youths these days, not only the middle schoolers but even the adults have to go through this phase when they act over possesive, and I could actually feel Irido even more as I had done that in the past which lead to my break up

The dialogues were just too good, the memories of their beautiful but heart breaking past & that feeling of regret after not taking a wise decision & thinking about how things could have turned out if they wouldn't have taken that decision............

That "Kimi no Suizo wo tabetai" book </3 (the most beautiful thing I have ever watched in my life)

But why The Metamorphosis (โ—__โ—)............

Overall, This episode did a great job, a deserving 5/5

Unpopular Opinion: It is better than "Shikimori's not just a cutie"

It wasn't overhyped and it is actually going far better than that boring show except the title and the scenarios

BRO THIS WAS GENUINELY SO GOOD. As someone who has gone through Yume’s side of this type of breakup, it really made me reflect on how the other person felt and what I could’ve done differently. I’m so annoyed because this show is so great when it has moments like these but then it has stuff like the last few episodes which are pointless meaningless filler which taints the image of the whole show, even tho it truely is something unique and special. Like genuinely how many other animes do you know that realistically deal with the aftermath of a breakup.

Such a good Episode one of the best ones, the misunderstanding though Mizuto is jealous and mad because Yume didn't spend her time with Him anymore and I like how Mizuto as a man admits his mistake for his wrongdoing and apologizes to her, unfortunately that day before he apologizes to Yume, she saw Mizuto with some random girl sitting next to him even though Yume knows there's nothing going on between them but she's just too thickheaded and blames Mizuto for cheating that leads to both of them ignoring each other. One day both of them accidentally meet in a public library and once again it's Mizuto that asks for make-up and expects her to apologize too for blatantly accusing him of cheating, his expectation was to no avail which leads to their breakup. In conclusion, it's Yume's Fault that made them break up.

Interesting episode!.. Although Yume and Mizuto could have cleared things out when they were in middle school while they were still dating. I get it tho at that age they aren't at that fully matured state of mind and aren't able to process problems properly. They also can't deliver their points right to both of their misunderstandings in order for them to come to a resolution. If they did get their act together, I'm sure they would still be a couple. I thought this series would be an average romcom but now i'm having my hopes up and hopefully that won't be the downfall of me lol. Overall, I'm actually interested in wanting more of this series because of this episode now that we know what happened in their past.

This is probably my favorite episode. A very good backstory about how their romantic relationship during middle school. It's cute, sad, and really relatable. Hope they can be a couple again. Maybe?

Is it just me or is Yume the one who is mainly at fault, as she expects Mizuto to do everything while making no effort herself

What you’re saying is a fact, but many people will want to put the blame on him for being jealous that she made friends and that he was salty about. He apologized to her for that yet she didn’t apologize for doing something far worse by accusing him of cheating. Then she just expected things to work out without having the decency to try and apologize for what she did even though he apologized twice. Similar to what someone mentioned in another thread, if an adult in a relationship pulled off something like this, they would be considered somewhat of an a-hole for this behaviour.

It’s too bad Higashira got rejected by him. She’s a much better fit for him now imo

Both Yume and Mizuto were equally at fault for their breakup. Makes sense.

The Metamorphosis is a 1915 German novel by Franz Kafka about a salesman who turns into a giant insect. Sounds terrifying.

If I watchig this as teenager I would be annoying af. But looking this from adult view, it kinda expect though, that's how teenager and immature middle schooler would act. I probably didn't do it any better if I was in their shoe.


they dated for more than 6 months, yume at least should know that irido is not that type of dude . Even if they are immature or whatever, they must know that they should at least be honest abt their relationship

Finally Mizuto and Yume's backstory for when they were going out together during middle school, and of course they broke up because of silly problems of middle school-ish jealousy crisis etc, well at least they can be happy they live in the same house now xD

It was a nice episode, we finally got the backstory of Yume and irido their love story, and it's breakup. I hope they get along in the future, satisfied finally after getting their backstory.

I give this episode 7/10.

Big filler episode that felt kind of like a waste. However I hope that means the final 3 will not have any flashbacks and that will have made ep9 worth it.

This backstory felt very real to me.
Was a bit frustrated that Yume didn't even apologize but it seems like she has matured in the present, so that's hopeful.
Also, I must say the direction of this anime is impressing me, pretty good.

Let it be known that Mizuto made the first move of apologizing on something he didn't do... And Yume never said anything... Ever... For months... The ball was on her side and she never threw even a message...

Is *this* the toxic AF thing you "have in your heart" instead of Higashira, boy? Really?

Score: 7 to 6; they fought because they didn't have sex at 14-15, man, this is really going downhill.

Thats a retarded misunderstood. Yume know this dude for 6 mths. Thats should indicate shes somewhat know what type of dude irido is, so to accuse of him cheating is hella rerarded. All of this is basically ego

So Mizuto apologized twice and Yume didn't apologize even once for the false accusation? Then expected him to do everything and contact her.

For y’all noobies in that whole real life romance thing, this is a prime example of don’t let your ego take over, just be the bigger man or women and ask her/him out to get the shitty misunderstanding over with use communication and be happy.

That episode def brought some infuriating memories, it’s all good tho

I fucking love this episode. It gave us more in-depth explanation on why they broke up. It also shows us viewers how close their situation is to reality. Those kinds of things and arguments actually happens. It really depends on either of them on how they handle those kinds of situation. I personally think it's not a bad thing that they broke up, they both matured and improved mentally. Like Irido said, "It's not an end of a relationship, it's a liberation"
I am not a friend of justice. I am an enemy of evil.

So basically they broke up due to jealousy and trust issues then proceeded to ghost each other. Dafaq, so straight realistic ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Finally we get that sole episode about their own past relationship & despite Yume being a wild girl, she is tame.

"I want to eat your pancreas" - I loved that film kinda cliche but I loved that. NICE

Un poco aburrido la verdad, si que han contado un poco de su pasado pero meh, yo quería ver a los personajes actuales.
Han ampliado un poco el conocimiento que tenemos sobre su pasado pero para mi gusto podría haber sido solo medio ep y ya.

Wow! So, we've got some backstory on the two of them, finally. Frankly, the reason for them breaking up in the first place seems awfully mature.

I can absolutely not blame Mizuto for it. Been there myself, at a time. And he's also right that it's not the end of a relationship - but LIBERATION, BABY!!!

I was getting somewhat tired of the anime, but this episode brought back the past relationship and explained how it went, and I'm gonna give props to the author for nailing the feelings just like relationships happen irl, the close moments, the weird ones, even the feelings of jealousy, which can be out of character for the person feeling it... Maybe I'll watch the whole season because of this episode.

A backstory episode now things are progressing as I've thought of, Into some deep roots too

Jealousy and trust how straightforward of a reason thought there was a bit more drama but this is like the most drama we can get

Is that what I think Mizuto is reading the timing, But I'm glad one thing is Yume didn't get what she expected and this makes it more believable that this is the sole reason they broke up.

The entire rest of this show was dogshit terrible, however, the unexpectedness of their past relationship development from the garbage was the rest of the show was very appreciated. What caught me the most of the metaphor of the bug that kept appearing throughout the episode, culminating in Mizuoto reading "Metamorphosis," representing their relationship was becoming less and less real.
