Magari's clique enjoying bubble tea after a test, and the she-devil Kani has a bit of regret that Nakami kinda distracted her from completing one of the problems on the test. Magari giving an update on the Astronomy Club, and the girls count themselves in, with Kani's reluctance as well. In the midst of the hot weather, Mina speaking of the Legend of the Seven Fateful Bridges, it would spring love though dreamy, though when it comes to fireworks, it would not attract Nakami's attention. The seaside camp coming up, and Nakami has reservations on his phototaking. Ukegawa getting the scoop as well with the restart of the Astronomy Club, and it would be ideal if they became a couple. The coincidental meeting...pretty much confirmed their gazes towards one another.

Back to Yui's corner, Nakami taking notes of his first few night shots with her strict feedback, and though Ukegawa accompanies him a bit, it's Magari who appears and he knowing to go ahead for his part-time job, what a chad knowing that he's the third wheel. That said, Nakami's notebook filled with every level of detail, it's clear that he wants to get better at it, and they have to design the poster for the meteor shower viewing party at the very least. Nakami piercing a look at Magari's cowlick, and then the invitation to see the fireworks show together, that created the cute embarrassment that Yui can't even afford to interrupt.

The 3D2N seaside camp preparations, and Nakami is stuck with one of his classroom's jokers: Rui Haida. Nakami going out to take photos, but couldn't find suitable weather to take, and Ukegawa ended up chastising him that he literally scored a date with Magari to see the fireworks. With the bad weather, it doesn't look hopeful that the seaside camp will proceed as planned, and in Home Ec class, Kani still wants to fight with Nakami over the completion of aprons, forgetting that she sewn her skirt together with the apron. Haida may be as sus as he comes, but unfortunately this was heard by their homeroom teacher Hakui-sensei, which this isn't the first rodeo that he dealt with him on the matter of misunderstanding insomniacs.

With nothing going their way, Nakami is defeated, but Magari is still hopeful that the weather will clear up during the camp. Though I find that Magari inching closer to hear his heartbeat, it's just beautiful chemistry.

Hoping for a good seaside camp with some good weather.

Dude, what's with the Japanese schools, and mystery/ghost stories surrounding them ... our just schools in general, breaking the mundanity of the moments i guess lol.

Now, a few people mentioned this already, and i must say the same, somehow we slowly becoming yuru camp with a stargazing kind of anime, which is good. Also the romance aspect is building really well, very naturally. I also like how the secondary characters are not dumb in that regard.

A nice, comforting episode to watch in a pretty gloomy day overall with weather as bad as this episode with the amount of rain. The slow-burn progress is quality stuff here too overall, cute ending too.

we are getting to the romance part and the pace at which we are going is really great. not too fast and not slow. they are gradually becoming more and more conscious of each other and stuff which is cute to see.

last part was really great. she feels safe enough with him to do that. great progress.

the teacher part tho damn.

5/5.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

I know it’s an aspect of Japanese society but treating going out at night like a crime is a little overblown when it’s high school students. I wouldn’t pay much mine to it, but it’s been the primary point of tension for the past couple episodes, and I had hoped the astronomy club would give them an excuse to be out at night (since how can you do astronomy during the day?).

Besides that though, great episode, especially the heartbeat scene at the end.

Magari and Nakami were sooo cute whey they were together.

btw, Hachiban Ramen was mentioned in this episode. It's the ramen chain that started in Kaga, Ishikawa Prefecture, the same prefecture as Nanao which is the main location of this series. The ramen chain is pretty well-known in the Hokuriku region(Ishikawa, Toyama, and Fukui) with over 100 branches in these 3 prefectures, as well as oversea branches.

Good SoL episode with a bit more development between Magari and Nakami. It was hilarious when Magari drew a meteor shower on a poster and Nakami thought she drew fried eggs (I also thought that they looked like fried eggs lol). The ending was nice with Magari using Nakami's heart beat (and back) to take a nap.

The firework together is sure an awesome idea of course she accepted, but regarding the trip it's easily going to be depressing if it's just rain + no camera... :/

Lol even Haida got taken aback from Nakami 😂
Hopefully the lecturing incident would make it so that Haida knows he shouldn't mess with Nakami, tho I do feel like Haida's just generally one of those more charai and somewhat annoying characters as opposed to an actual prick and an asshole that everyone would hate in the show.

Hopefully nothing bad happens regarding Nakami and the teacher after his outburst but man, the teacher is the perfect representation of know-it-all adults who think all kinds of issues youngsters have means that they're sick in the head and should be outcasted. Tho I'm not saying the teacher does think such children should be outcasted but I imagine a lot of adults have this prejudice as well, especially the fact these idiot adults have never gone through these sort of circumstances themselves and so don't understand things from their perspective yet think that shitting on it is fine.
As well he really did just pull the Oh you're sad? Why don't you try not being sad then? kinda shit but with sleep as its basis instead. Adults like these tho are the ones I lose respect for.

Ukegawa is such a bro. Love him for being considerate about when to leave the spot between two love birds. Nakami and Magari are so cute together. Looks like seaside camping is gonna be a problem if the weather stays like this. Also, Nakami snapped at his teacher. That was bad. He was just frustrated. Poor kid.

Ganta still trying his best to figure out how the camera works for the perfect shots. A bubble tea after the test. Its getting pretty hot and the summer is upon them. Isaki inviting her friends to see the Astronomy Shower in the night, they're up for it. Mina speaking of a legend of the bridge of love. Ganta beating Tao in a board game.

Ganta going back to Yui for some more help with his photos after he successfully set up his tent. Isaki making an unexpected visit and both of them having a nice conversation while Yui doesn't want to interrupt it. Its seaside camp time and the teacher is speaking the plan. Ganta is stuck with Rui, yikes. Rui spotting Ganta on the bike in the middle of the night.

Seaside Camp can't continue now because of the rain. Motoko trying to compete with Ganta and ends up failing. Ganta & Yui being spotted by the teacher and wow, I never would've guessed to see Ganta curse against a teacher. Ganta is now sad but Isaki doesn't give up, instead she places like 20 wind charms. Isaki feeling the heartbeat of Ganta and laying beside him, that's cute.

Indeed, 10/10. It feels just like I'm watching Yofukashi no Uta without the supernatural part. Both main characters are rejecting the society's points of view regarding the conventional way of living and embrace their quirqs. Amazing series ^^

kani painting ganta as an awful person while knowing nothing about him really got on my nerves. and ganta yelling at the teacher surprised me, but i was also quietly cheering for him because the teacher seems like a cuck. (sidenote, but are they really that strict in japan about being out late at night? it seems very overkill tbh)

the romance aspect seems to be developing slow and steady but very nice and naturally as well. it doesn't feel forced at all, but rather sweet. that last scene of isaki pressing up against ganta to hear his heartbeat was so cute. such a good show, i can't wait for the next episode

As boring as I act like this show can get at times, something about Magari and Nakami's interactions is really nice. It's that kind of friendliness and comfort that is in a way romantic but not exactly romanticized if that makes any sense.

Nothing like having some boba with the gals (I still need to try it), that was a chill opening bit, it was also nice because we haven’t seen Isaki among her friends much and we got it a decent amount here, they seem wholesome. And thanks to Ukegawa getting into Ganta’s head he’s starting to have a crush on Isaki, tho I think it woulda happened over time anyway lol, and I loved the way they planned to see the fireworks together, can’t blame Shiromaru for not wanting to interrupt lol.

And sadly the clouds and rain have kept Ganta from practicing with his photos for a while which puts him in rough shape, and then that stuff with the teacher went and happened which got him in a worse mood, but I honestly didn’t expect him to call the teacher an asshole lol, and he even got away with it, it was kinda deserved tho.

Hopefully Isaki’s teru teru bozu army can make the rain go away for our boy, and that final scene where Isaki snuggled up next to Ganta was really cute, heartbeats don’t make me relax but I get why they would for others.

Interesting ep ^^;

First of all, I am pretty sure staff are supposed to have their own bathroom to use and they don't share one with the students. Secondly, I can see why Nakami was upset but he didn't have to go and call his teacher an a-hole xx. Theat was a bit extreme lol. Overall, the ep was okay for me. A bit slow and felt more like a filer ep :(.

Week by week I fall more in love with this anime, it's a shame it's underrated, it's a gem.

I liked that they are finally advancing in the relationship of the protagonists, I am not saying that the photography classes are bad, but it is always good to see a little bit of romance.

What will happen to the guy who talked to Nakami in the bathroom? Will it be a nuisance or a new friend? I really don't know; but at least at first I didn't like it at all.

This anime is the only good thing about Mondays xd

Probably my favorite episode so far, really loving the chemistry and interactions between the two leads. This and Skip and Loafer are top-notch when it comes to that element, just the characters chilling and talking manage to bring a big smile on my face. The snuggling at the end was really cute too.

I realized how the opening and ending songs are not so attractive.

Also another SoL episode, with rain spoiling the Astronomy Club plans. Loved to see the chemistry between Ganta and Isaki unfold once again.

The bad rating this week (gave a 9/10) is because I didn't like how the teacher overheard a conversation in the washroom and gave a earful to both Ganta and the other blondie guy.

Talking about Shiromaru, she was introduced to Ukegawa, and she was quite surprised when Ganta brought him to her house.

I hope that the seaside camp doesn't go wrong for the Astronomy Club.

At some point this Yui character is gonna have her hands bound but proceed to bite a dude's neck and rip his throat out

Am genuinely curious to find out whether or not the rain will let up. They should call in Hina the sunshine girl

Anyway, I love how episodes like these end: nothing grand, just a quiet moment, as the ed starts to fade in.

Nothing much happened but looking forward to the next episode.

Isaki really already sees Ganta as someone special to her. Only when she's with Nakami, she can easily sleep and rest well.

It should have one of the best events in the story (basing on the source material) and even when reading it, it had that Shinkai Makoto vibe in it. I guess, they might put a bit more budget on this coming episode.

Easy the best anime of the season so far. 

The mix of Sakimichi no Apollon and Sora no Manimani, along with the dose of Sangatsu no Lion after the shogi on this episode, makes it a 10/10 for me.
