| I liked this episode so much I watched it twice. It was a surprise that Ryuu confessed to Sawako his feelings for Chizu , I liked it. Way to go Yano! you're my heroine, just punch Kurumi in the face already. It's great that she's aware of everything. "Let's just root for them in the shadows." Yeah right... If Kurumi was smart she would have given up already. But seeing that she has stalked him since middle school... that's not likely to happen soon. It's kinda fun to see what she does anyway. The tension. And how she gets owned ;] The next episode looks promising (: |

ARAHHH I wanted to punch my laptop screen so much everytime Kurumi came into view ¬¬ shes such a bitch~ She has that effect. The shithead effect. Which means the writers are doing a good job. ^^ Cookie-kun is the best. I love him. The ending was awesome. I think Kazeyaha just died of a heart attack. |
| whoa. i forgot how many episodes there were, so i thought the next one (13th) was going to be the last hahaha..i felt like they could've had it set up to end on the next episode (since it seems like this is where she gets together with kazehaya or whatever). that's cool though, 24 episodes.. |
| NOOOO a cliffhanger!!! I was on the edge of my seat and literally just about fell off when the ED came up!! >C -so very angry- my heart hearts D: all this drama is so exciting but it's painfulllll. I know Sawako will win in the end...but AGHHHHH I want this misunderstanding to clear up!!! -cries- next ep next epppp T_T; |
| Well I am not sure what I can say that y'all have not summed up so very nicely. I am waiting for the cat fight of the century....cuz Kumuri just sunk her battleship. Yano knows the game she is playing and can totally out play her, can't wait. I TOTALLY love Ryuu and his confession of love for Chizu, there was fangirl squealing going on during that time. It was so sweet. And at the very end Kazehaya face just was heartbreaking, but then the preview of next week made it all better. So I am going to just wait, patiently, NOT, for the next episode. |
| lol Kazehaya does the opposite of what Kurumi was expecting haha. Looks like next episode he's gonna grab Sawako and possibly confess to her or at the very least ask her if she likes Ryuu. |

| Oh godddd. I almost felt like crying. Kurumi is so mean. ;_______; Dont believe her Kazehaya!! Kazehaya is so cute when he's jealous. :)) |
    |
| Go Sawako! She finally discovers her feelings. Hinted that Kazehaya will finally act. |
 |
| Kazehaya gets jealous! KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! |
Chicken + Dictionary + Dictionary = CMC. Eeyup.  |
| What's funny is that Kurumi thinks she can get away with this, the little schemer. But Kazehaya's insecurity does really work in her favor. Yeah, Yano and Ryuu are pretty awesome. |
 |
| I loved when Yano gave Kurumi a good smack in the face (not literally obv). |
| Actually, I like Kurumi's character. Look at it from her point of view: - All your life your looks and intelligence made most things easy to maintain. Now that isn't working. - The girl who should be your enemy refuses to be one, refuses to be intimidated and, most confusing, continues to like you. Now you've two situations you've never encountered. - And you know that lurking in the shadows is someone who not only is just as smart as you but has the muscle at her disposal to back up any plans she puts in motion. One of the reasons I really like this series is that Kurumi is simply Sawako's rival and not some cardboard cut-out villain. She not a evil person, really, and I'm betting will come out of this the better for it. |

chinaboat said: One of the reasons I really like this series is that Kurumi is simply Sawako's rival and not some cardboard cut-out villain. She not a evil person, really, and I'm betting will come out of this the better for it. Agreed. Although Kurumi is clearly the antagonist in the series so far, she has a sympathetic plight which adds a healthy amount of grey area instead of everything being black and white. Also, even though Kurumi isn't being honest to Sawako in words, she's dropped the cute-girl pretense in front of her, at least when they're alone. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sawako win Kurumi's true friendship in the end despite everything; she just seems to have that effect on people once they get to know her. What's really interesting in this episode is that Kurumi switched tactics. She's finally realized that her manipulations are powerless against Sawako, so now she's taken to manipulating Kazehaya instead. I wonder if she's really going to have the stomach for it, though, since it seems to have worked a little too well. Does it matter to her that she's hurting him in the process? francismeunier said: Is it me or someone was spying on Kurumi/Kazehaya here=> I think all it is is that the animators have chosen a subtle way to frame the scene that adds to the cloak-and-dagger underhandedness of Kurumi's actions. And since you bring it up, notice how the window panes join together in exactly such a way that the two of them are shown separated? That's no accident. :) Did anyone else notice that Kurumi is voiced by the same actress that does Haruhi Suzumiya? A lot of people seem to find her annoying, too, I've noticed. :) |

| Kurumi, Kurumi, Kurumi... Now Sawako understands better her feelings for Kazehaya... |
    |
| I can imagine Kazehaya turning into the Hulk and throwing Ryu across the school or something like that rofl |
| You know what? I feel bad for the bitch. She worked so hard to keep up a fake facade, kept Kazehaya from ever getting close to another girl and prevented herself from confessing and/or moving on. All for what? Only to lose to someone who is the complete opposite of what she is or what Kazehaya's preference would be. Even if Sawako was not in the picture how long would she have kept it up, anyway? ...fail. Aaaaand Yano and Ryuu ftw~! <3 |
 |
| "But I wanted to take a nap.." LOL Ryuu such a sleepy boy XD Loved Yano conversation with Kurumi, It seems that Yano ready to back up Sawako if Kurumi tried to screw Sawako relationship with Kazehaya apart. Yay for ChizuruxRyuu shipping,they can make a cute couple ^_^ Pin also does get my attention,his exaggerated horror expression when saw Kurumi fake smile is priceless XD |

 |
| Hnnnnnnnnnng Kurumi is such a smart person. Her tactics are like top-notch; too bad Sadako is oblivious to what Love is. You gotta love Ryuu's smile though, he can be really good looking when he tries. <3 |

| Kurumi what have you done??! You know you don't want Kazehaya to be hurt, do you?! I really hope he doesn't lose his radiance or his friendship with Ryuu now. I hope that Kurumi realises what she's doing and stops it. She's not a bad girl, but what she's doing is not good. I understand she's in blind love for him, but her shocked expression when she saw his face gives me the feeling that she might take it a little more easy, at least on him. She desperately wants to be his girlfriend, but she also doesn't want Kazehaya to show her that face again since she cares for him in my opinion. At any rate, the preview and the title of the next episode is reassuring. Win to Ryuu's awesomeness. "Kuro...Ah! Burakku!" X'D His love for Chizuru was pretty obvious, but I'm happy that we got to hear it directly from him. I think he really likes Sawako since he was able to tell her so easily (and he almost remembers her name! XD). Yano-chin is win as well. No explanations needed. I also liked Pin in this episode. His immunity against Kurumi was fabulous! (he was like "WTF's with this girl" LOL XD) |

| Thank you Kurumi!!! Something finally happened just because of you! ^__^ ♥ |
    |
| I am not surprised that Kazehaya is little jealous to Ryu and Sawako. It was good episode, and the progressing is nice so far. It's too bad that next episode will air on January 6, 2010 due to holiday. I understand completely that Kurumi is in blind love for Kazehaya, and her expression is shocking when she saw Kazehaya's jealously face. |
| Who would have thought that Ume-chan would've brought 2 people closer together this episode? I'm really looking forward to the next one, eventhough much of this was fanservice for me since I got to see so much Yano. DKJ |
 |
| The ending made the episode. Kazahaya got completely torn down, it'll be interesting to see how he reacts in the next episode. |
| I can't wait for the next episode! Ryuu is great! I love that he can't remember Sawako's name. I hope that sometning bad will happen to Kurumi in the next ep. Veeery bad. |

Want to see more ChizuXRyuu though Ryuu saing " I only love Chizu" is enough to satisfy me now..:P So what will Kazehaya do next???? - dying to know. Its funny how Kurumis evil acts works oppositely on Sawako . XD |

One of the reasons I really like this series is that Kurumi is simply Sawako's rival and not some cardboard cut-out villain. She not a evil person, really, and I'm betting will come out of this the better for it. +1 In fact, Sawako is very much like a cardboard cut-out in that she's completely unrealistic and two-dimensional. So far, Kurumi's actually the most developed character. I third this. As someone said earlier, the support cast carries this show. There's no way in hell either a person like Sawako or Kazehaya could exist in this world, much less in the same class:D. Well anime is not about realism but still, i prefer the more "alive" characters. Grey always >>>>>pure black/white. And next ep Kurumi will probably break down crying, seeing Kazehaya's reaction to his plot. She doesn't want to hurt him (or even Sawako)... I agree that Kurumi and Ryuu are more developed than Sawako . . . but I think Sawako is a force that pushes these characters to their limit. If she wasn't there would any of these characters have expressed them selves to their fullest potential? Just a thought ^_^ I think she's two dimensional for a purpose that works for the story. I don't think her character is unrealistic, I think her character is misunderstood, people really can be that naive and quite. . . Also I do like Kurumi's character though, she is doing things blinded by her emotions not because of hate. I'm not ashamed to say I almost cried at the end of this ep just looking at Kazehaya's pained expression . . . just from seeing the preview from next week I can't waaaaiiiitttt to see what happens! Oh how I wish it would come sooner |

| I've said it before, I'll say it again. FUCK KURUMI. SHE IS NOTHING BUT A TWO-FACED SELF-SERVING WHORE. GTFO MY KAZEHAYAxSAWAKO. >/ Also, Ryu continues to be the best part of the show. And his confession only made him 100,000 times more awesome. Edit: Anyone who actually likes Kurumi is a troll. |
| Despite Kurumi's best efforts to try and pull Kazehaya and Sawako apart seems in the end Kazehaya will go for it and Sawako seems to have come to terms with her feelings as the title of the next episode suggests, this should be good =] |
| Ryu and Kazehaya moment, when Kaze like giggle after asking if Ryu likes Sawako LOL KURUMI's appeal didnt work on her 1st try on Pin hehe "extra smile" Ryu reading the letter.. "Sawako or take a nap?" hehe =) @ 15:50 @ 17:33.. 2 quite personality people together @ 19:30 the best scene ever!!!!! its better watching than red---ing |

| It is pretty hard to believe this myself that I am actually on the same boat with people who think Kurumi is such a great character. |
