Why do people want conflict and drama so much? Personally, I hate drama, and awkwardness, and wavering hearts in romance series. What is wrong with having a sweet, lighthearted romance where the two characters are deeply in love and spend their time just enjoying their life together?

Drama and conflict is everywhere, in almost every series out there. People are saying things are starting to get state, but since drama is the norm, THAT is what's stale, to me. Keep things as they are and I couldn't be happier. I, for one, greatly enjoy seeing Takeo and Yamato spend time together, happily in love. I like seeing their life unfold as they find new ways to fawn over each other and spend time together.


Dude, you're so on point in reply to people who are complaining that "there isn't enough conflict in this anime."
I wish I can just quote you every time someone spams "This anime is getting stale without drama."

Looks like the rumor about the place being a jinx that breaks up couple may really be true.

I think it's really scary to know/have people like Oda around in real life because you know he's constantly plotting something.

Suna is like a contrast to Oda since Suna's nature was able to help and strengthen Takeo and Yamato's relationship while Oda's nature and beliefs may cause them to break up instead.

Looking forward to next week's episode!

Ai is back!! IMO she's the best character in the anime, followed by Oda. Their personalities just fill the show with laughter and thrill. I want Ai to be happy just not with Takeo. He's too much of a muscular airhead. Oda is worthy enough for Ai.

I think the jinx will be Takeo rejecting Ai, and Yamato must've accidentally witnessed it as it was unfolding. Just a hypothesis though

That is exactly why you should explain it to them. Why purposely withhold knowledge? That being said, drama and conflict are most definitely not "a large part of romance". It may be a "large part of some romance" but not of romance as a general term.

Romance, as an experience, is different for everyone who experiences it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a, how did he put it, "sweet, lighthearted romance where the two characters are deeply in love and spend their time just enjoying their life together". In fact a series like Ore Monogatari would do well with a romance like that. There's no need whatsoever to bring in drama or conflict of the romance nature when the series is doing so well without it.

The sweetness of it's story and it's lovable characters are the draw; creating unneeded conflict would actually serve to alienate fans who enjoy the story and characters for what they are. If they do bring in conflict or drama, it doesn't have to be with a romantic rival or feel-bad misunderstandings. There are plenty of other ways they could add in those aspects without destroying the romantic nature of the story or it's characters.

Well I think generally the purpose of conflict is a "test" to their relationship strength.

I agree that there's no need for the conflict element in romance however I doubt most people would watch because it usually lacks the excitement in continue watching. It will become very repetitive too, especially for a 24 episode anime.

I don't watch much romance base anime, sooooo... just my two cents worth of opinion~ =)

During the first few minutes of the episode, I was thinking it would be nice to see the sister Sunakawa, because it was not so much that it showed; what a surprise to see her again and have an episode that focuses on her. Plot that is renewed and that compares once again the feelings of Ai for Takeo, I thoroughly enjoyed this interlude. Drawings and animations of good quality.

Oda's reactions were so damn hilarious. I find it pretty silly how he couldn't recognize Suna's likeness to his sister, and actually thought he was Takeo. You can see his feelings are pretty pure, and his dedication really deserves recognition, but I'm of two minds about his character. The guy is pretty opportunistic, and if his target had been anyone else but Ai (in that I mean if a guy of his characteristic was gunning for Yamato instead), I think plenty of people in this thread would actually be pretty pissed at his attitude.

Also get the feeling that things at MM Land won't go as smoothly as planned.

Because its otherwise boring like in real life. In real life if a relationship gets stale and boring then they go look for other people. Nobody likes a boring relationship. It doesn't have to be conflict but something that challenges the individuals. None of this fairy tale,we're so in love crap. Lets stare into each other eyes each episode bS.

That's entirely a matter of opinion, though. Just because you don't like the way it's going doesn't mean other people feel the same, and visa versa. It's not fact that it's boring, it's simply how you feel. I don't find it boring at all

Ai best girl is back!

Yamato may be super adorable, and just an overall giant blob of moe disguised as a human, but Ai just reigns supreme as best girl.

- Ai also deeply loves Takeo.
- Ai has funnier moments than Yamato, especially when she gets mad, depressed, or when she goes on a rant about how great Takeo is.
- Despite loving Takeo, she is willing to sit back and support from the sidelines.
- Hottest girl

I feel bad for Ai and how she missed her chance with Takeo ..I like Yamato too, but Ai seems better for him. maybe Suna can get her hands on her and pave the way for his big sister to move in, though i don';t see how that can happen ..
I hate them for adding more drama to this story and making us feel confused.

oda is now cheering on takeo-yamato just to have suna's sister finally give up :D
wonder if Ai is repulsed by oda resembling suna

I love the funny and light-hearted nature, but I'm OK with a touch of drama. Only a touch, and that's just to stimulate the relationship development and to let me appreciate the fun and silliness of the series even more. I don't see Ai as a love rival. She's a very strong "big sister" character with how she looks over Takeo and is concerned with his well-being, similar to Suna. Though it would be horrible if Suna ever developed feelings for Yamato.

I thought Oda was aiming for Yamato and wanted to compete with Suna at first. XD

The way he does it is really sly, but I do think that it's not a bad idea too. She have nothing to lose, in fact, she has already lost anyway, so it's better to just let it out. So I think he's a nice bud after all.

Suna sister reactions are freaking priceless. That spooky face she made at the restaurant xD
Also, she may be lacking of... subtlety. That's cute.

I honestly thought he was appearing as a love interest for Makoto, which would have been kind of cool even to just have a LGBT+ pair along side the main pair. Though Makoto seems to have no interest in romance, it would have been interesting to see him experience actual attraction to someone, but of the same gender.

Plus, I think Takeo and Yamato would be estatic to see Makoto getting along with anyone romantically, and I'm sure they'd spy on their dates to make sure the guy was nice to Makoto. xD

I dont understand why people find Oda sly, creepy or suspicious. His intentions are pretty clear from the beginning. First, he wanted to get to know the guy Ai was in love with. It was hilarious when he thought it was Suna. Man, they look like twins! Both are equally handsome, btw. However, Oda is like a polar opposite of Suna. He makes friends easily, funny, direct and outgoing whereas Suna is quiet, emotionless and cool. In the end, he made this plan so that Ai can confess to Takeo and finally MOVE ON on from her crush. Of course, there is NO WAY that he would want Takeo and Yamato to break up. Thats was just stupid for some people to say. -_- Oda is honest about his feelings for Ai and i root for him.

Hmm, as some people said they skipped a certain part from a certain chapter here. Well, I don't think they'll cut it out entirely, a bit too important for some characters.

That being said, Oda looks really similar to Suna here (didn't realize that when I was reading the manga).
