This episode had a lot more scenes with Misaki and I think he has an unique chemistry with Tomo. I do like how he always tries to protect her friends and family.

Carol's interactions with Jun was priceless. She always has the same smiling face on wherever she is. Misaki is the character that the anime deserves and Carol is lucky to have someone like him in her life.

Man it’s about time someone should tell Misaki-senpai about his berserk form, I mean this guy totally berates himself, that will work plenty for his self-esteem. Though he too in his own way is working hard enough for his girl, so there’s that too. But bro he’s dense as hell, talking about how he ADMIRES another girl in front of Carol, so sure even someone like her gets ticked off.

Though Carol has her own ways to blow off steam, and yes inviting herself to Jun’s house.. giving him a peck on cheek.. pinning him down, comes within those terms lmao. Dude may have gym muscles and a strong build-up, but can’t do shit against Carol. She’s a certified different breed.

The second half… goddamn. Misuzu went far with her lies, though it was for Carol’s good but still no way someone should’ve seen this coming…  Carol coming down CRYING??? That Carol… man they did a fantastic job with this. Waited for that particular panel to get adapted and it didn’t disappoint. Carol and Miskai made up, that’s one couple done. One more to go.

The episode was about Carol. Favourite one so far no doubt.

Dude, what a drama.

Both of the blonde girls need to get their shit straight before they ruin all things around, lmao. I always knew Carol is not just a bubbly airhead girl, she smart, in her own way. Also, we still in the reality of them being cousins ... right ...

And the mom is back!

Man, how Misaki-senpai met Carol, this is the most family-like pairing ever.

Misaki joining the Aizawa family dojo in order to train himself to protect Carol, man he's weak both physically and in spirit lols. But he has firmed his resolve to do the impossible, and with Junichiro around, Misaki gets to be trained vigorously. But too much can never be a good thing, and he collapses due to the stress for Tomo to encourage him to not be a wuss. Of course, mentioning this to Carol only brought about her jealousy that he is shifting his attention to Tomo instead. Carol is the definition of "I don't take this lightly" and unexpectedly calling for Junichiro to hang out with her, she is serious for once. Man, Junichiro was about to make some wrong decisions, like bringing Carol to his room for a torture session...or more like a hot, sexual session of testing him of his feelings to Tomo. Junichiro trying this on Tomo, and most certainly he felt the same as before, only to get shocked by Carol, and the news brought to Misuzu and Misaki to see the shock on their faces.

Misaki definitely loves Carol, and while Misuzu flames over him, he could not come to love her because she was stronger than him, and if he'd were to confess now it would backfire on him. The thing about Junichiro and Tomo, it applies to Misaki and Carol, though wanting to show her vulnerability would take an eon amount of words of persuasion. And Misuzu breaking the news to her that Misaki would not be fit for her, that was the camel that broke Carol's straw, enough for her to come rushing home and isolating herself in complete tears, breaking her straight face facade into one of admonishment from a mean speech. The reason: Misuzu being mean to give Misaki a push to acknowledge his feelings for Carol, I'm glad that worked out well.

So, Carol's smiling face IS actually for a reason: to be strong and not to cry in the face of adversity, taught from her mother, transferred onto Misaki. And Misuzu, for all of her talk, got the good end of the bargain by losing her talk.

I'm impressed of how Carol is able to maintain a straight smiling face in all of this lols.
Definitely the best episode that's all about Carol, and one worth favoriting all over.

The first encounter between Misaki and Carol sure was pretty insightful. To find the strength to protect Carol Misaki sure went for quite the teacher. With Carol's base nature im honestly not surprised that she was a trouble magnet. Rare to see Carol get jealous not to mention give out veiled threats. Never thought i'll see the day when Jun is being pinned by Carol. Still the news sure proved damm effective against Misaki. Innocent as she is Carol was bound to react if you told her that she wasn't good enough. Im glad that despite the tactics used that Misaki and Carol were able to make their feelings clear. Though she miscalculated this is one defeat that Misuzu should be proud off.

What a mix of feelings! On the one hand, I was happy Carol got her declaration of love, but I was furious with the way Misuzu did it to Carol. And knowing that Jun is afraid of girls justifies the whole way he behaves. It is impressive that Carol has noticed that Jun is afraid of girls. Carol is excellent!

Chill. Historically current modern day concepts of relationships are mute. Back in the day prominent family's and dynasties constantly married each other to each other for clout. Even today they are, just dont copulate with your brother or sister because at that point it does get a little strange. Otherwise I dont think anyone has issue ;)

Never expected her and Misaki to have a serious romantic arc at the start of the show. So this was great.

To everyone confused about Kousuke and Carol love thing, especially since they're cousins:
1. They are distant family. Like, real distant. They're considered cousins but might as well just be from different families altogether.
2. Even so, it's legal in Japan to marry your cousin. It used to be a very known and widespread thing but sharply declined in use after WWII. However, it still happens, just much, much more rarely.
So cool your Alabama jokes.

Aniplex shows usually take 90 minutes after it aired on Japan to arrive on Crunchyroll
This has been true for quite a while now. 
I know that Shadows House, 86, and Vanitas were all like this. 

And this is despite Cr being one of the producers for the show.

The big Carol episode! Her and Misaki getting the most focus this episode as their relationship is finalized. We had moments throughout the show thus far to cement them as liking each other. But they're in a similar position as Tomo and Jun where their feelings are confirmed in their own heads yet not out load. Misaki feeling how Jun does where he thinks of himself as inadequate to the person he loves. Misaki is putting Carol up on this pedestal and not seeing himself at that same level. After the incident of Misaki freaking out on those thugs at the warehouse it's hard for him to deny his feelings for Carol. All it takes is some nasty prying and manipulation from Misuzu to get Carol in a weakened state so Misaki can see the real her. A painful way to get to a sweet moment. Carol messing around with Jun at the start of the episode was funny. Him shrieking and running to Tomo to immediately grab her after Carol grabbed him was a small but cute moment. Misuzu had to play the villain this episode but sue did a good job getting Misaki to admit his feelings for Carol. Getting those two together as they should be.

Best girl Carol asserting her dominance, giving a little nudge so Jun and Tomo get closer, giving Misaki a wake up call and showing Misuzu she is not the only bad girl in town, it is always tough to see such a bright and happy character like her being vulnerable and showing her actual emotions, that crying : (

That was a pretty solid episode, and one centred around Carol. Someone actually broke Carol's smile? Misuzu, you monster! Great that Misaki and Carol had their little confession, although the thing about them being very distant cousins is still a bit off-putting. It also turns out that Carol's mom taught her to smile more, and that's why Carol looks so happy all the time.

A bit of an odd episode, but I think it's still my favourite out of the episodes so far.

Yeah its like their families are in the same clan or something but there is no blood relation and because there is nothing like that in West, the only translation is "Cousin"

It was messed up that Misuzu told a lie that made Carol break down and cry for the first time, but it brought Carol and Misaki together. Carol did a good job of putting pressure on Jun, but he still hasn't made any progress with Tomo-chan.

Didn't know that Carol and Misaki are cousins, but I still ship them anyway. The whole cousins thing is used very loosely to describe people who are connected via the family registry, but are not related by blood. It's a result of being in a homogeneous society with close knit community ties.

Come on, let's not pretend any of that made any sense. It's not "teenage logic", it's bad anime logic. The author clearly first decided on the outcome (confession) and then reverse engineered a way to get there (extremely convoluted plan). Blond guy's explanation to why he hadn't confessed also complete nonsense. Who says stuff like that off the top of their head when asked that type of question?

Only "teenage logic" thing here was Carol asking Jun out, and even that only works because we know she is kind of dumb and wasn't thinking straight (And she acknowledges that later that it was a bad idea).

Misaki & Carol got a lot of screentime this episode, which was wholesome to see, Misaki even went to the Dojo so that he can protect Carol, what an man. 

Seems like Jun & Tomo are getting closer as well, the hug was nice. Misuzu be plotting things and she even got Carol to hate her almost lmao, but all went well. 

The crying face from Carol actually looked wholesome, that was some awesome animation, I'm glad that Misaki found himself a girl that he loves, congratulations to him. 

Wholesome episode, I wish the best for Misaki & Carol as a couple.

So Ko and Carol go down the incest couple rount now? I was honestly hoping for a healthy break-up here. Since there was no reason to make it incest if they actually went through with it - could've just been childhood friends and super sweet! 

Aside from Carol teasing Jun, this episode was weak in my opinion. The comedy / drama / psychological transitions were really bad too, feels like this show is going straight towards an identity crisis. I hope it can recover next week.

Carol really won in almost every way this episode huh!!

It was nice to see a bit on Carol and Misaki's past and how they met. Misaki acted so much differently compared to how he is now. Him admiring Carol is very similar to how Jun admires Tomo, both boys want to catch up in a way to their respective girl. Wanting to get stronger for not only their own sake but for the sake of the other too.

Carol really traumatized Jun as well and her words definitely got to Jun even if she didn't realize it. 

Mizusu's way of getting Misaki and Carol closer together worked in the end but didn't go to plan from the start. Her telling Carol that she had no chance with Misaki really got to her and everyone was in a state of shock when the saw her face. We saw her act more normal I guess and less of an airhead. Misaki then goes to visit Carol at her home as she left school early and after seeing her face he realizes something and finally decides to let his feelings out and confess his love to her. Much to Carols excitement!! 

And as for the cherry on top, Carol finally managed to kiss Mizusu on the cheek. This really was Carols's episode!
