I feel nothing for Taichi x Inaba. For how long has their relationship been built up, like, not until over half the series? Right in the middle of the developing Taichi x Iori? Not to mention that this altered Inaba's character completely.

Am I the only one who thinks this heartseed guy is really cool. I mean usually what he does brings them all closer together. He hasn't done any permanent damage. And his stoic personality, omniscience, and the way he does things really intrigue me. I actually really like the guy.

And I hope that the Inaba x Taichi ship sails.

This is some of the most contrived drama I've ever watched.

Inaba was the only interesting and believable character throughoutout this whole series, of course the creators would feel the need to suddenly redefine her and of course you all think that makes her a "better character" or more likable or whatever.

It's been a long time since I've watched anything this bad but this is the first time I've read such an overwhelmingly positive reaction to something so mediocre and cliched. Itoukaiji seems to be the only person here out of 300+ posts who dared to ask for something more than what this is giving us.

Does anyone know what the song is called when She kisses Taichi? I've been searching FOREVER BUT I CANT FIND IT

I've asked around on youtube but the only answer i've found is

"おっはよー!"

I youtubed/googled that and I can't find it. If anyone has a link or something it would help me so much T.T

Does Inaba really expect the guy that she treats like a total punching bag to return her feelings? In addition to confessing, she should have apologized for being a physically and verbally abusive bitch. This particular anime dynamic I will probably never understand.

This is fucking hilarious how people can't even notice Iori, whos most sad and amazing character of this show.You think you would get your InabaxTaichi kiss and happy Inaba if not Iori? no, because its her who made Inaba realize how stupid she is.OF COURSE you don't see her, because selfish fanservice character stays in way.I hope TaichixINABA will work now, because Taichi just doesnt deserve Iori.



^^ This.

Iori is the best character in the series hands down. Too bad she will be alone because Taichi just doesn't measure up.

Maiko on the other hand is awesome. If Iori swings that way, they are a perfect pair.

Hey if you guys think about it all of this is benefiting them. I don't think Heartseed is doing this purely for entertainment. He's somehow tying them together to create stronger bonds. Also, I'd say Inaba x Taichi would be the best pair and that eventually Inaba should win. As many others Inaba is my favorite character in this series by far.

Ah I adore Inaba! I am glad she was able to tell Iori about her feelings and that she would fight for Taichi.
Heartseed really was mean, making that so Inaba's feelings would over flow.
It was cute when she kissed him! I don't agree much with it, since he and Iori are going out, but they actually never dated.

Wait... she's sucking her bleeding finger, which is a completely normal thing to do... She must be in love with my boyfriend ! ... Duh.

And Iori was annoying as hell. Don't like her seiyuu either.

Oooh, the usual cat stuck in a tree. Kawaiii. Gotta wonder if japanese cats have a deficiency or something, cause I sure never saw that IRL, and my home is full of cats...

Welp this show seemed promising up to episode 5, but this arc was really subpar.

Count on it.

Anyway, I'm definitely enjoying the series thus far. Major issues like the strength of friendship are being challenged in this story and Heartseed is unexpectedly bringing the CRC closer than ever before.

However, I do hope the formula changes a bit. Taichi is always the last one that saves the group from falling down the proverbial abyss, which leaves a bit more to be desired.

In any case, the show has definitely been good and I made no mistake when deciding to watch it.

Episode 10 - What Saying It Means:

"isn't there something in your heart that's just as important?" (Ballon Vine to Inaba) Taichi.

"She found out! She found out! She found out!" (Inaba) Yeah, maybe? too bad, and must be an amusement for Ballon Vine.

"if I show any sign of weakness, no one would need me anymore." (Inaba) Poor inaba she only want all to be together and do not hurt anyone, but she is just like Taichi, she does not want anyone of her friends to be hurt, even if that means to hurt herself.

"...And even if you get your way, the friendship between Nagase Iori and Inaba Himeko won't end over one lousy guy!" (Iori to Inaba) Granted, good friendship.

"I love you" (Inaba to Taichi) Finally she get to say her fellings, like when she was so worry about Taichi that she does not stop crying. And now start a Fair triangle relation race for Taichi. How lovely can be Inaba when she get to say it all. she seems so happy!

Now all depends on you Taichi!

Same here, I like Inaba as being strong and cynical, as being bold, direct, and is able to act as a neutral guy who could calmly analysis the situation while being funny at the same time, but now she is involved in this mess and this show has turned into a love triangle, which contains a lot of cringe and is not good in my eyes

I do understand that sometimes it is good to show our weakness, but I rather go with the "love" of being normal friends instead of being a love couple

now all I can imagine is Inaba being a lovesick character and be too emotional, it seems like it is not her anymore :/

The previous episodes were top-notch however. I feel quite disappointed for this direction of development... lets hope it doesn't go down hill in the later episodes....

The kiss in the end made my day.

This episode really went Inaban mayhem. She went from stoic to crybaby, berserk, and laughter.

On the other hand, I don't think Iori had her emotion unleashed at Inaban.
It seems more like she let out exactly what was in her mind consciously.

Sigh....more teen angst. I was really hoping to eventually find out about Heartseed but it dones't look like that's going to happen any time soon. I'm glad the whole "unleashed desires" thing is over. Hopefully Heartseed's next move will be the focus of the last few episodes rather than this teen love triangle junk.

u should watch the OVA ending to 4ep, that changed my mind & made me root for Inaba

Both male MC in this anime are just boring.


chicks want some1 who always there for them to support them & hes selfless freak nature just does that (he helps others in need specially if its a friend), but bit 2much so cause of that hes like chick magnet so hes bound to attract more chicks to himself in future unless he tunes down the volume of hes selfless freak side

Damn, when Inaba ran off I seriously thought she was going to jump off that cliff! :O

Inaba crying was sweet. Although having everyone else haplessly standing around and saying "don't cry" was a bit painful.

Inaba's confession and the kiss were heartwarming. :)

I am truly impressed by the portrayal of Inaba. She has grown on me more than any other fictional character I can remember. After the first episode I hated her. I thought to myself: "I like this story, but I dread having to endure this chick for the whole series. I fear it will be painful to watch whenever she is there." But the show has done a tremendous job of showing the good sides of her and why she acts the way she does. She really cares about her friends and, while she may not be as smart as she thinks, she does her best to keep everyone happy. I have grown to love her.

I very much agree with this. I have warmed towards the Inaba/Taichi ship, but Inaba REALLY needs to stop hitting him. Domestic violence is no laughing matter. Female-on-male domestic abuse is a tragically underrated problem. :(

But if she can stop being violent, I can accept an Inaba/Taichi ship. With maybe Iori/Fujishima? :D

Hmm.. as I thought, the most obvious developement if not a little bit cheap. It was all obvious the presumed fall was another trolling and that Inaba loves him since the beginning. But seeing Inaba finally break through her wall was nice.

I'm not so sure about her drive to take him away from Iori though. Honestly, when someone tells you they love someone else, you won't go kissing them right away, right? Well, it's okay for her to be selfish at times (and her victorious cry was of nice exempla of her self-gratitude) but has she even though about how Taichi feels? Doesn't he has some say too? Also, this idealistic 'friendship even when we are rivals' never really works IRL so I hope some future developement would address this. The episode made it seem like the struggle was resolved in this episode but the opposite is actually true right now, it just started after her confession.

I feel kinda sad for Iori now, even though she got her cuddling with him in the beginning of the episode and if that kiss was only Inaba's payback from before. Won't she ultimately get into same position as Inaba was before? I doubt this will help finding her own personality, quite contrary, she would probably try to suppress those parts of herself that loves Taichi only to evade quarrels with Inaba. Not a good thing to do, and Inaba was actually right it won't work.

Anyway, it's pretty ironic that he only ever kissed Inaban. Could be the sign that they want to leave true kiss with Inaba to the end or... that she doesn't even have any chance with him as cute looks aren't everything for boys. Still favor her over Inaba though, it feels like they have a lot better chemistry whereas with Taichi x Inaba it feels competely onesided. Of course, that doesn't mean she can't win him over but when I remember those intimate scenes Taichi had with Iori before (be in their talk on the phone or there moments together) I simply can't see it differently.
