| That Rou brat is so annoying. it's not like she even has to explain anything to you plus there's only one episode left, I hope they don't mess this up |
badgaliv said: Ok, I want to give my opinion about this show. First of all, Rou is really abusive. I understand he is so young and he is on a “male phase” because man aren’t trained to deal with their feelings, but he’s actually hurting Shinako so much at this point, only thinking about himself in such a selfish way, and shinako is so passive that she just.. let it happen. That’s so sad. Second, I can’t get u all wanting rikuo x haru to happen. If they stayed together , the anime will prove what message exactly? that being dependent is something... normal? because haru is really dependent, she only hurts herself because of their “relation”. it’s NOT HEALTHY. If they stayed together it’s like really worth it to be a stalker of the person u are in love, that u can fuck all your mind just to have the boy/girl u fall in love with. that’s not something u should normalized it. and she’s ALSO tying up rikuo! There’s no “emotional responsibility” on it because rikuo owes nothing to her, he never promised anything so she’s dependent yes but never because he gave her some expectation. So for me, the anime will prove the wrong message if they stay together. Unless she really changes. Because her atitude isn’t cool. She’s stalking. Haru and Rou need evolution. waiting for hours to see the boy you like it’s not cute, its sickly. She needs to get out of Rikuo. And Wtf what are your problems with Shinako at least she’s not stalking anyone in such a massive way.. she just wants to do stuff in her owl rhythm what is actually pretty honest. This is on point. Haru is a very toxic and immature character, I'm pretty sure if she wasn't "cute" like this people would not root for her like this. besides, she's not even 18, how can you ship her with a Colledge graduate?? |
| Wow. Rou is such a fucking crybaby. It's like he needs a diaper change from Shinako every 10 minutes. Get over it, dude. I have never liked the MC very much but I actually feel bad for him now. Shinako is a grown ass woman moving like she's a single mother having to bend over backwards for Rou every time he's about to cry about some shit. Let him throw his tantrums if that's what he wants to do. As far as Crow goes I think she should've washed her hands of the MC the second he ditched her the first time. Her being a doormat makes it hard to feel bad for her after a while. |

If I remember correctly, Haru is 18 at the beginning of the series. She may look younger due to her petite body but she's technically an adult. Besides, she and Rikuo are only 5 or so years apart so them being together (hypothetically) wouldn't look that odd. |
| They definitely skipped something because there wasn't any hint about them actually staying together in the last episode, and now they're been together for 3 months? Wtf. Yeah I read that excuse for shortening the series from 18 to 12, but it's kinda obvious that it's not the real reason and they just cut out 6 episodes worth of story to jump 3 months forward... ... |
| bruh |

NakolHira said: hearing this show will only have 12 episodes made my enjoyment lowered. I'm not getting how they would be wrap up the story. I feel the same way, I was honestly surprised to see the episode count cut down from 18 episodes to 12. I will be surprised if they can end the story in a way that does not feel rushed. I have not read the manga, and I probably won't but I hear this story will have its own anime original ending. |
NakolHira said: SenninSage said: you probably wouldn’t believe it, but the manga was rushed at the end too. Despite the manga was in print for almost 18 years. I feel the same way, I was honestly surprised to see the episode count cut down from 18 episodes to 12. I will be surprised if they can end the story in a way that does not feel rushed. I have not read the manga, and I probably won't but I hear this story will have its own anime original ending. There are about 35-40 chapters left to be adapted. Idk how they will handle this. I completed the manga last night. It was a disaster at the end. That honestly sucks, but I suppose it would be even worse for someone who spent 10 years or more invested in this story, to get an unsatisfactory ending. |
| Now is the time, will Shinako tell the truth? Coz if she don't, I believe the broke up will come... |

AddaeAkono said: -Pharos- said: Another eps with another hard-to-watch screen from Haru... I hope she will be OK... And btw, they really made it from 18 eps to just 12? It was really supposed to be 12 episodes, so the next episode is the last one. There are six mini episodes to go along with this after this series finishes airing. Ah, I see, tks a lot. But tbh, I would love to have several more, cuz I'm not sure will this an acceptable end or not... |
| I don't know anymore. Is normal romance supposed to be so boring? Yeah, good for them, bad for Haru, Rou-kun is an annoying brat. Maybe I won't even watch the extra 6 episodes, nothing interesting happened so far despite looking so deceptively interesting at first. |
  |
| Good thing haru was safe. Still i also felt how hurt haru is. How their position was on the staircase just made an emphasis of what going on. But she's also strong that's what make her the best for me in this series. Always she already knows about rikuo and shinako to not make her suffer more and she deserves better. It also pissed me about rikuo pressuring shinako during the phone call like seriously And shinako, i just dont get it. It always an awkward atmosphere with rikuo, it just doesn't sit well I dont really like rou, him getting angry at shinako. It's shinako's life and he already knew/felt that shinako doesn't see him romantically. It's fine if he didn't shout at them but made it strong like haru(but ifc they're diff person) Anyway, that what it makes it a great ep |

penrhos said: -Pharos- said: Ah, I see, tks a lot. But tbh, I would love to have several more, cuz I'm not sure will this an acceptable end or not... With just 1 episode to go and an "Extra" clip it's got to be going for an Anime only ending, hopefully not an unsatisfying one as I can't see them stretching the material out for a second season of Shinako dragging everything out.... The Manga had a crap ending after 113 chapters - so much so there was a "Special" written to add some closure. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-03-18/sing-yesterday-for-me-manga-gets-special-chapter-on-april-1/.157611 Can I read this special somewhere? I plan to read manga after anime ends but I can't find this oneshot. |

 the timing of this lmao |

| Probably, the most ironically funny episode of the season: *First, the fucking cliffhanger from episode 11 was just a thief. A trief?!! What a fucking reason to make Rikuo visit Haru again. It was not necessary and there were thousands of other reasons for them to meet again. Imagine putting an extreme situation in a cliffhanger for the sake of putting it. *Second, Haru coincidentally finding Shinako and Rikuo dating. For some unexplained reason, Haru is devasted during that scene. *And finally, Rou coincidentally finding both at the end. WTFFFFF 1/5 |

| The ending bro!!!! I wish shinako and mc would just end it already, it’s coming! Also, I had no idea dead boys lil brother was entering college, I thought he was entering high school haha |
| oh snap |
SenninSage said: Rou and Shinakos relationship is extremely unhealthy, Rou is a possessive boy-man. And Shinako keeps nursing his toxic traits. Rou is not a “boy-man” he’s a MAN. He’s straightforward, he acts, and he’s honest. He knows what he wants and he goes for it. Maybe your definition of a man is that man pussy mc that doesn’t know what he wants and needs others to tell him what to do. |
| oh snap |
| The episodes are so painful to get through in one sitting (In a good way though). It really bring out the awkwardness of these situations when someone faces them in real life. Rikuo and Shinako are not good for each other and it shows. Rikuo keeps trying to move their "relationship" forward but Shinako blocks off any possibility almost instantaneously. Moreover they still just seem like regular friends and Shinako is okay with that, so why call it a relationship in the first place? Rikuo should have been upfront with Haru and told her everything. Instead she found out in he worst way possible. Even though he feels guilty now and wants to apologize, he doesn't have the balls to just go to her place and talk it over. He tries to go the cafe instead but sadly Haru probably quit her job there... And after all that all I have to say is Rou is an absolute PIECE OF SHIT!! This scene was done masterfully, credit to the staff for conveying Haru's emotional state with the blurring of the screen — I've rarely (if ever) seen that done in anime, and it was utilized perfectly.  Totally agree! That stairwell scene was already gut wrenching with the shot compositions and BGM. Then this scene comes in to portray Haru's emotions and just turns everything up to 11. The directing is so good in this show, it'll be sad to see it unfinished. If they don't air the Specials or OVAs quickly I'll just go read the manga. |
Bibimbapski said: I hate how both Shinako and Uozumi are keeping Rou and Haru at the sidelines like some kind of rebound. How is Rikuo keeping Haru on the sideline when he has already rejected her and told her to stop pursuing him? Because he didn't tell her? They met like one time in three months and it wasn't exactly a good time. And even then, Haru and Rikuo are not even friends, this thing was always one-sided so it isn't Rikuo's responsability to keep his stalker updated on his love life. Because, I'm sorry, but that's what Haru is. She can get away with it, like someone has said before, because she's "pretty and quirky" (and probably because she's a girl, too), so people see her behiavor as cute, when it's actually really toxic. |

| Haru is the most hurt in this situation I feel bad for her.... |

He isn't very firm or assertive. He could also be more harsh with his words and call her a fucking stalker. He's too nice. This takes place in 90s Japan and even if he reported her to the police, they wouldn't take him seriously. He's still helping her out and being nice to her which is sending her mixed messages. If I were him, I'd tell her to fuck off. |

If I were him, I'd tell her to fuck off. I agree with you that Rikuo should be more firm with her, and I too would tell someone who's acting like her to fuck off and leave me alone, but that's not the way he is, he's way too soft and patient with everybody. This doesn't mean that he's keeping her on the sideline. They didn't even see each other in all this time other than the night of the burglar, so why would he go out and search for her only to tell her "Hey, I'm dating Shinako"?. If they were friends who were meeting all the time I'd get it, but that's not the case. |
|
| At this point it's hard to choose who is the worst most self-centered character, Shinako or Rou. Rou gets upset because Shinako wasn't going to be cooking for him as much when he was in college. What? F. you, as if she should just be delighted to be his cook/slave and at the end he gets mad because she has a life, ok then... What did he think? That she would go to work and come home and do nothing else but imagine when she would have the opportunity to cook for him again? What Shinako is doing to Rikuo is awful, three months is a long time, she realizes that she doesn't really want to date him, but doesn't want to be alone. What the hell woman? These relationships are toxic, so I guess this anime is a manual of what not to do. |
| oh man talk about wrong timing 5/5. |
 |
| Man, why does Shinako have to lie to Rou and Rikou....I kinda hate that she has to come up with such stupid excuse to Rikou that Rou needs some help with his so called exams and she also has t lie to Rou that she and Rikou already ate. |
| the characters in this show are so damn annoying |

| So, after the moment in the New Year Eve, they skipped the whole three months relationship on a dating period? I found it lame and had a bad tastes on my mouth. And they just couldn't do more than eating and walking together? Thats just such a boring situations, man. We need powerred up to their relationship! So thats the whole drama i was talking about! They get caught up by Haru just shit reality. Its about time and felt like a blast. But, good, its give more impact to them. They needed to do something more than that. Rigth after that, another hit came up. Thats the brat i was talking about. Great drama! So lets see how they solved shit and Rikou thought about that shit. I just hoping some little happy scenes to Haru. She deserved more than shit after so much illusion they had before. What a tough girl! Okay, last scenes! |

| Shinako: In college you were the biggest loser I knew. But you're working hard now! Also Shinako: You haven't changed at all since college and I don't want you to. What an obnoxious character. Doesn't know what she wants, leads people on, extremely passive, and just plain boring. Well, let's see how this series ends. |
| The scene with Haru was really heartbreaking, I felt so bad, and lol Ro at the end, I hope they will broke up because of him |
 |
| Those two doofuses should have told Haru and Rou about their relationship, kinda sad Haru discovered it in that way not so much empathy for Rou though. Looks like the relation didn't made much progress over those 3 months, I wonder how they are going wrap all this drama up in the last episode |
