| Minami is such a nice dude. He definitely deserves someone better. And, then we have all these idiots who can't even be honest with their feelings. Such a frustrating show. I hate it but I love it. That feeling of constantly being on the edge not knowing if I'm gonna get NTR'd at any moment is the worst. I hate that feeling so much in a romantic setting. Shiori... F*CK OFF!!! |

| The last kiss of Shiori and Jirou was very wholesome though, on a rainy night, under slight rays from street light in a lonely footpath and the ending theme playing was really beautiful. |
 |
| This is such a roller coaster! prev ep Akari's going full throttle and this ep its Shiori's turn this time with a banger of a nice kiss! well...it's up to Jirou's decision and hopefully its not halfassed... 4/5. |
 |
| Damn I didn't realize there was one episode left. I wish Shiori would just speak what she's thinking instead of saying "nothing" its so annoying. How is she supposed to get anywhere with Jiro if she dismisses her feelings. Kamo really puts Jiro in his place lmao At times like that, aren't you glad find your iPhone exists? I'm happy Shiori and Jiro kissed again. I truly hope their love wins <3 Minami is a boring character, but I do feel bad for him and his background. Image seeing the girl you like fucking someone? Oof that would crush me. I wonder why he dyed his hair blonde? Also weird that Minami doesn't like Shiori considering the lady looked a lot like her. Weird that Akari got over Minami so quick and was like yeah thx I'm gonna fully commit to Jiro now |

| Minami's monologue with the song and the scene transitioning to their kiss feels so perfect like it elicits an emotion that makes me think it's so epic. |
 |
| Sheesh that was one of the moments I was waiting for. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| I don't care about Shiori ffs i have low hopes for the 12th episode not gonna lie. |
| Minami is a fine man. Wouldn't mind reading a short side story about him eventually finding happiness as well, considering what he went through. Kinda hard to root for one side or the other, really. One nice thing about the series is almost none of the characters are one-dimensional villainous or are worthy of being hated (closest would be Mei, probably). I do lean more towards a Jirou/Akari ending too though. |
 |
| Well damn, Minami really has interesting choice of words but I understand where he is coming from to some degree. I am kinda starting to prefer Jirou X Shiori but honestly it could go either way. I do like Akari optimism tho. |
 |
| Finally they are showing true feeling :) |

| I'm late to the party as I've been watching the dub. I had hoped the scene with Minami's older brother and his wife would have been a bit clearer, but it was just as vague in the manga, so I don't blame anyone for being confused (for ages I thought it was his step-mother 😳). It was a good episode, although not the most satisfying if you're an Akari fan, but next week should make up for that. Hopefully we'll get a Season 2 announcement pretty soon as well. |
| I never knew I hated the sight of two characters kissing so much |

| Deym. Shiori made the first move. |
| Really curious to see what'll happen in the last episode of this season with all the development we got in this one. Everyone is becoming open and clear about their feelings with themselves and the ones they love. It looks like everything is cleared up on Akari and Minami's side, Akari telling Minami that she loves him, and Minami sparing her the pain of heartbreak before it gets too great by telling her that he knows what it's like to have an unrequited love- and doesn't want her to go through that as well. Minami helps Akari really come forward and be honest with her feelings toward Jiro, which he immediately recognized when she had called out his name. And he also makes it clear that he feels nothing for Shiori. Yes I think everything is good on this side, and I'm glad all that happened before at least this season of this anime ended, because you never can know whether or not you'll get another. Now on Shiori's and Jiro's side of things, it looks like things have been cleared up over here as well. Shiori's case is pretty simple, she likes Jiro, and made it clear that she does as they kissed in the haze of the lamp light under the rain. And it seems obvious that Jiro had responded with what he believes is his own genuine feelings as well, as he shares in the kiss Shiori gives him. That said, Jiro still is a wild card in this game. He says he loves Shiori and that is true, but to say he has no feelings developed for Akari would also be an utterly blatant lie. He almost didn't hesitate at all when he heard Akari was missing, and went to go look for her despite Shiori's pleas. And when he found out that Minami and already found her, I believe that was a look and response of disappointment on his face. He wanted to be the one to find her, and I thought it was just going to follow the cliché route and indeed have her find her in the rain and share an intimate moment, in which maybe Shiori stumbles upon and complicates things. But no, they subverted MY expectations at least, and it feels more mature this way; especially Minami. Minami was a big boy in this episode. But now it begins, two girls fighting for the eyes of the not-a-total-wimp that is Jiro. And man, Akari better leave no prisoners alive and rise victorious, making it clear and decisive who the winner is and leave nothing to the judges. Just want to discuss Shiori for a bit, sorry Shiori and Jiro shippers, but I find her just to be so dull and boring when cast under the fiery scorching light of the super giant Antares (or whatever those big stars are called) of Akari. Yes she is a much better girl and much more of a sweetheart, I mean she went out to look for Jiro in the rain and brought him an umbrella. But Akari's just got the FIRE you know? And let's be real, who besides a select few really care about Shiori, she's just the typical side character childhood friend thrown in there to spice things up. Except in this case, she kind of takes AWAY from the spice which is Akari herself. Shiori deserves a good man, but leave Jiro and Akari alone and let them go crazy for each other. Honestly make Shiori lesbian and pair her up with that red-haired chick, Mei I think her name is. I'm no Yuri/Yaoi shipper, but I legit feel more chemistry between Shiori and Mei than Shiori and Jiro lol. Anyway, whether it ends on a good note between Akari and Jiro or a bad one, I'll be happy either way. If it ends on a good note, obviously that'll make me happy. If it ends on a bad one, I'll appreciate the ballsy move made by the studio, and it will also give me more hope that they intend to follow it up with another season. I just hope it won't end on a "meh" note, you know? Right now it's a very high 7 out of 10, if the last episode delivers, it'll easily push it to an 8 for me. Maybe even a 9 if they go batsh*t insano mode. Heck it looks like they even have a new ED for the final episode if I'm not mistaken. Speaking of the ED, I liked what they did here with it: we got to hear more of it this time. It started playing earlier, but the ED visuals itself remained at the same length, so we heard more of the song as compensation. Something special for the ED, since something special happened in this episode. |

You definitely have to kill Jiro. Since episode 9 I have a bad feeling about what was going to happen and it did. As part of the Akari team this is unacceptable. |

| Tell me why Minami's unrequited love looks like the teacher from Kuzu no Honkai? I was about to flip. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Jirou you honestly don't deserve sh*t, just go back to your psp games and stick to being alone forever, which will probably be the case. And Akari is pissing me the fk off too... Shiori deserves a MILLION times better than dealing with any of these 2. |
