| Damn, best episode of the season thus far. Best girl Hina carrying this series as usual. |
| This was the chapters i was most waiting to adapt, Hina is going full atk now. I feel so sad for Chinatsu that last scene with the ost was really well done. i can't wait to see anime only reactions from now on hahahaha... ah ... :v |
| That was a beautiful episode. I really like and respect Hina. I'm still rooting for Taiki x Chinatsu, but Hina is really catching up. She knows she's at a disadvantage, but doesn't let that make her depressed. She goes all out, she fights with everything she's got while still being respectful and understanding that Taiki likes Chinatsu. She doesn't just stand there doing nothing hoping he notices her. And that's really admirable. Also, she's cute, she's pretty, and she's really fun ^^ But I gotta say, is it just me or sometimes the animation looks a bit... weird? Like weird proportions, especially faces. |
 |
| I'm glad to see Hina take a step forward and actually confess since she's liked Taiki more than a friend for a while now. Meanwhile Chinatsu had put boundaries between herself and Taiki and now her leg bracelet broke. However, Taiki probably still likes Chinatsu more (for now) although with Chinatsu overhearing that Hina confessed to him I wonder how she'll react and if she will make a move of her own. |
| I LOVE THE PINK GIRL SHES MY FAV SHES SO SWEET AND STRONG, BEST SECOND CHOICE CHARACTER EVER WRITTEN |
| Oh, yes~ That symbolism with the misanga breaking right after Chinatsu missed her shot. Absolute cinema 🚬 10/5 episode but seriously tho, no way Hina almost had to spell it out so that Taiki could finally realize she was in love with him. Has this dude always been this dense? Because some part of me seriously thinks he has gotten dumber this last handful of episodes for narrative purposes. Anyways, excellent episode. Hina deserves everything and Chinatsu overhearing at the end was peak "soap opera" level spiciness. |
| Hina on the attack is scary, especially at the end when she knows she's got him flustered anytime he sees her; rip for Chinatsu though getting cooked in basketball and coming back to see them talking about it top tier episode I hope the drama continues |
 |
| Let's fcking go!! Hina Confession, Huge W for Hina. This is why Hina is the best girl. L for Chinatsu. Losing the match also Losing love 😂 |
 |
| Chinatsu losing the nationals is hard enough but losing Taiki as well is the worse. I’m not sure how she’s going to recover from this. Props to Hina for choosing the perfect time to confess. even if she didn’t plan it, it shows she was prepared. |
| seeing chinatsu's perspective is so painful to watch especially in that last scene |
 |
| Poor Chinatsu she lost the match and now she knows about Hina's confession to Taiki... we'll see how it goes now that things changed between them |
 |
| i wanna cry because this episode, nice play author |
| My beautiful Hina and her innocent and adorable confession to Taiki. It was very beautiful and it definitely made Taiki's heart feel things. He can't comprehend things right now. On the other hand, Chinatsu's team lost and I felt bad for her as well and her Senpai who were going to leave afterward. It becomes really hard to face someone who confessed to you like that after a single day. So, I feel Taiki. Hina's gremlin energy is so cute. And, looks like Chinatsu heard them. Oh no... |
 |
| Absolute Hina Peak confession |
| Chinatsu continues to underwhelm and so does the show. I foresaw every beat, her losing the game, the string breaking and her misunderstanding relationship of Hina and Taiki to add to the blatant emotional heart tug. Low grade soap opera. Impressive animation does not carry alone. Completely destroys anything I may have felt with Hina actually having some agency and doing something about her crush but I don't like Taiki any more than I like Chinatsu so... nothing. |
 |
| W HINA, chii is a nice girl, but she doesn't deserve taiki for friendzoning him. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Hina confessed and Chinatsu lost the match |
 |
| The road for Hina healing begins now, she's well on her way to acceptance with that clever method of confession |
| This was the episode she said the magic words. Part because I wanted to keep a note of it, but I have always been a Hina fan. So it's nice to think back on her and the stuff she's been doing in this anime. |
  |
| Cute and sad episode at the same time, let's go chinatsu, I'm with you |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
| Everything happened in this episode. Chinatsu lost. Her ankle bracelet broke. At the same time, Hina confessed her love for Taiki. Taiki now feels awkward around her. And as they were talking at the gym, Chinatsu overheard. Chinatsu must feel awful. She lost twice, Nationals and Taiki. Or at least she thinks she lost Taiki. Taiki still prefers Chinatsu, I'm sure. But now that he knows that Hina is in love with him, he doesn't know what to do. The story advances by a huge leap here. Now that feelings are out, and people know about these feelings, this is going to become messy. Hina, Kyou, Haryu, and Karen know Taiki likes Chinatsu. Karen knows Chinatsu likes Taiki. And now Taiki and Chinatsu know Hina likes Taiki. What's going to happen now?? |

| Man, I dunno if I can take more of this show, it's brutal. I've been in Camp Hina since the beginning and that's only ever increased, and I'm feeling a bit like being at the top of the rollercoaster with her story, about to take a big fall. Chinatsu and Taiki are both too immature, imo. Hina out here acting like an adult and clearing the air. The whole thing last episode with Haryu and Karen was all about how taking risks and saying what you feel is how you move forward, right? I hope Taiki can at least man up for once and let her down easily, but I expect he'll make a mess of that too. I don't totally understand why Taiki's so head-over-heels for Chinatsu. She seems nice and she's cute, but he barely knows her and can't talk to her without sticking his foot in his mouth. She barely talks to him anyway. He's in love with the idea of her, not the real thing. He's one of those guys to put a girl on a pedestal and treat her like a goal instead of a person. He strikes me as very selfish. I've been rooting for Taiki to get his shit together but the more this goes on the less I think he will. He's so passive and cowardly. For that matter, I don't really understand why Chii likes Taiki. I don't, he's a weird creep. Hina at least has some background with him and he's genuinely been friends with her, and they seem to enjoy each other's company. Taiki and Chii feel like they're just going to get together because they're hot and young and in close proximity. No chemistry at all. I have enjoyed this show so far, mostly because the side characters and Hina are great, but Chii is kinda boring and Taiki is maybe the least charismatic human on earth. I don't know why these women are so interested in him, they both could do a lot better. |

| Nahh that timing is something else lmao. Props to Hina though, the courage it takes to do what she's doing right now is insane. |
