Hm... it was a decent ep.
How long is it gonna take for Otani to open his eyes, I wonder... and giving Riza hopes like that... bastard...^^
On the other hand Riza always manage to crack me up lol... and that class-room scene with Haruka and the rest of the class was hilarious.

Seems we get to see Riza and Otani kissing next ep... maybe... you can never tell with that guy...
Still, I looking foward to it.

I love the scenes with Risa and Seiko. Two maiden hearts... LOL. I also loved the face that Risa made when she threatened bite Haruka's head off. Good episode overall, but that music is starting to get annoying. It's way too dramatic sounding for the moment... even if it is a somewhat sad moment.

Next episode looks real interesting. I'm really looking forward to it. The two all alone in Otani's room. With the way this series has gone, looks like something weird will happen that will make me laugh and feel depressed at the same time.

Another really bad episode.

Why can't this romance be more realistic!!??
He is not sure of his feelings for SEVERAL months. First of all they are FRIENDS, he is hurting her feelings for SEVERAL months (it's impossible not to be aware of this) and he doesn't care. No FRIEND in the "real world" would do that and keep acting like everything was cool.
It also surprises me how the other "so called" friends keep "feeding" and "growing" this situation, when they all know Risa is suffering for SEVERAL months.
REAL friends don't do this in "real life".
I'm not gonna say much about Risa. I know there's people who lose all the self-esteem because of love and keep humiliating themselves like Risa is doing. This is not different than "real life".

It really shocks me people saying things like this.

Lol, omg!, stop!, you're killing me! Hahaha! You haven't seen that much anime right?
But seriously, if this anime was realistic then it would be BORING. Comparing a tv show, especially an anime tv show, to real life is just plain stupid. If Lovely Complecx was based on real life, then these great characters could not possibly exist. Do yourself a favor and watch the show with an open mind.

In fact, I would recomend watching all anime with an open mind. If you're looking for realism, you've come to the wrong genre of entertainment.

I've been in the situation before, as the person who is unsure. You don't want to hurt your friend, and sometimes you feel like there's more than friendship there - but sometimes you just don't. No matter how many people push you be with that person, it only pushes you farther from starting a relationship. And you're afraid a failed relationship will wreck a great friendship.
And you know what? Sometimes it DOES last months. I've never told a guy I wasn't sure about to wait for me. I've always been honest and told them to date other people because I wasn't sure. But sometimes, you really aren't sure what you want.

But off of that tangent, Go Haruki!! LOL that heart was hilarious! People forget because they're watching the two main characters, but he's also heartbroken and in love! LOL

I agree with Haruka and he should have a piece of Otani I mean what so great about that midget anyway! *FUMES*

If he doesn't want her as girlfriend just let her know that you're not interested and let her move on!

I hate Otani -_-; but she's equally as stupid.

I think Otani is really sweet, but he gets annoying sometimes. He's just so uncertain of his own feelings and it really hurts Risa. I hope he gets his emotions under control so he can confidently tell Risa whether he likes her romantically or not.

Nothing about this anime is fair anymore...it's always the guy who's in the wrong huh. Sure it's all comedy, but no one seems to sympathize with how isolated and confused Otani is. He's just another 'dense' baka to everyone huh? Hmph.

Although to be fair this is perhaps the FIRST time I can say that I can respect her. She actually took the initiative and didn't just give up cause of what happened. GOOD, that's what I wanna see. So even if everyone antagonizes him, she's on his side. That's how relationships are built =]

Oh god, Haruka is annoying but hilarious at the same time. Especially when he ''That stupid dwarf, he must be suffering from malnutrition'', it made me laugh so much xD
Also, how inornic calling him a playboy while going out with seven girl at the same time :P

Seiko is still dangerously cute xD

Poor her, really everything is going against her. Man, when he rejected her for the third time, it really hurted. Though, it got solved at the end.

The next episode title is so obviously saying they will kiss that they will probably not.

I'm not sure why, but I really like Haruka. And I feel bad for him liking Risa, who then likes someone else....

I hope Haruka will find a true love somewhere else since it's obvious that Risa won't fall for him.

Overall a good episode :D Got couple good laughs there

Great episode. Ootani was really nice, being honest and not giving her false hope (although Nobu's Darling accidentally made him do something that hurt Risa), and Risa understands the difficulty of the situation he's in better than the rest of the cast. I really, really like how this is developing without stupid misunderstandings and excuses, but just by both main characters being honest and open with each other.

After realizing he's hurting her, Otani acts like he doesn't want to hurt Risa, but he obviously still is. The preview of the next episode gives me hope things will move forward but guess we'll see...

I really like Haruka! His character has grown on me the most. I think he's a pretty good guy, honest and open with his emotions at least!

Jfc Haruka is so fucking obnoxious. The class is wack too, acting like Otani is such a villain when they did so much to create an environment where he can't see Koizumi as a love interest.

The way how this show tries to antagonize Ootani is starting to really piss me off. Let's hope the "class vs. Ootani" depiction wasn't serious.

That aside, I also gotta say that Haruka is easily the worst thing this series has. Who thought it would be a good idea to include such irritating character in this already frustrating love story?

It's a good thing that Riza keeps emphasizing that she's the blockhead that won't give up. You can't stress that out enough.

Straight up though, I legit hate Otani, all the homies hate Otani. That's some toxic masculinity right there, before its day. Risa doesn't deserve all of this mistreatment just because she's physically a little out of the normal. She deserves respect like anyone.

Otani is messing up massively too. You get along with this girl like gangbusters AND she likes you and you DON'T want to be with her? Unbelievable. Are tall girls a joke to you? This guy is permanently 14.

Risa doesn't need to be chasing this pos all the time, trying to convince him after he rejected her. Like, I get it, Otani is extremely immature, but you have to let him suffer, he deserves it.

Man I hate Otani. Scumbag. Just make a clean break and be done.

Poor desperate Risa, but I have no excuses for Otani, he makes all men look bad.
