One of the very few good segments of a rather disappointing season. I hope we see a certain pair by the end of in this manga/anime. Of course, the two most grown-ups would suit one another the best.

That was easily the second best part of season 2 so far(Christmas two parter)

While I am not a big Inodera and Raku fan, I honestly can't see it not happening now.

I hope the writer remembers Shu will give Raku the push when the time comes

Tsugumi's bits were really good too, dang it, where has this show been.

Tsugumi was so cute this episode, she almost makes a better tsundere than Chitoge.

First confession the whole show and it ends so fast, I wonder what Shuu said to the teacher at the end. Still, Ruri is a better match!

Hinting at an Onodera confession omg... Nope. Raku needs to step it up or we the people might go ahead and elect Shuu as the new harem lead.

You consider that ecchi? And how did it ruin the mood of the entire episode? It's only a picture.

I've always found Shu to be annoying, and I still think he's annoying. I did not enjoy this episode at all; on the contrary, it was pretty painful to watch. What a stupid advice, to tell a woman that you love her even though she's getting married. What was the point in doing so, to fill up Ms. Kyouko with guilt knowing that another man loves right before her wedding? Utterly irresponsible on Shu's part (and Raku's, for encouraging Shu).

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Love these chapters to death! Watched this whole season just to see this, but it didn't go as well as I hoped. I can understand the pacing, it was only a 2-3 chapter arc. But, they could've made this episode have better animation and did a better storyboard. The scene where Shuu starts running felt like it had too many cuts personally. It didn't feel right, even if you say its for symbolism, the flow of the episode is worth more than symbolism.

I want to see someone take their time and animated this episode differently. I kind of want to see different interpretations mainly because of how much I love this episode and my own personal feelings of SHAFT not using enough of their budget to properly make this episode. I like, and yes, the pacing was supposed to be like this, not much of a way to speed it up.

The point was the very thing Ms. Kyoko told Shuu, live your youth without regrets. Shuu, like many of us viewers probably are, would not think of doing this. Our reasoning is exactly like Shuu's, why burden the one you love with guilt over not being able to spend the time to handle their feelings? But, I can say this my own experience of a similar situations, you get a lot of regret for not confessing or doing anything. It hurts, it seriously hurts. You will feel empty and numb on the inside. Your mind will be encased by thoughts of that person and whenever you think of that person, your heart just crumples again. Its a never ending cycle. You won't cry. Its more like you disconnected your heart because its weeping, and that bucket of tears is too much for you to carry.

It is kind of hard to explain unless you experience it. To put it bluntly, it hurts. No if or what about it.

The best episode of this series.

Shuu is always fun to watch.

I think Raku is right. No matter your love turns out that he/she has another love, you should tell your feelings to him/her. This episode is a good example of love psychology.

Interesting to see how Shaft will end this series which is two episodes remaining.

One of the better arcs of the series IMO. This and Chitoge's mom were my favorite parts of this season. I wish there were more times where Raku supports Shu though. It's a nice change of pace.

Also, if they weren't going to have Shu sing the ED for this episode, they could have at least done a Shu/Ruri duet. Strange why Shu would tell Ruri that he has a crush on someone when he never even told Raku.

As much as I would like Yui to be adapted into anime, there are still stories I want to see that come before.

A whole episode dedicated to Shu! I wasn't expecting this to be animated, but I sure did hope it would, and I'm glad they did animate it. Spot on like the manga.

Shu's the man!! The only one who ever confessed throughout the series! Raku is a tiny weak bug compared to the mighty lion, Shu! I applaud him for being courageous to take the leap and confess!

That Shu's arc was a whole lot better than most of this season says a lot for the choice of arcs they are adapting.

Still, Shu's arc was probably one of the more "realistic" ones, even in the manga. I applauded Shu's initial choice for keeping quiet, as much as I hated Raku for meddling. He may have told Shu that he would support him even if he took his feelings to the grave, but his shounen protagonist side took over and he literally kicked him into confessing.

Raku is seriously such a hypocrite, and I can't stand the fact that he's being forgiven to this extent for it. I mean, if you have the balls to push your best friend to confessing to the impossible target that he likes, shouldn't you man up first and actually confess your own feelings first??? I don't give a rats ass how complicated your situation is (it's not really that complicated, considering even Raku knows that Onodera knows that him and Chitoge is just a sham relationship), set an example for your bro. You don't push him into the fire and then cop out on your own end. Fuckin' irresponsible if you ask me.

Shu really shouldn't have forgiven him for the push. I respect Shu way more than Raku. Raku's way of thinking is just troublesome for others and only brings closure to yourself. Selfish stuff there.

More episodes like this could be great, you know, to change the pace of the series. Some guys from another classes chasing our girls. Our girls feeling confused about their situation with Raku. Raku being jealous.

My only problem with this: IT'S ALL GIVEN! The 4 girls really love Raku but in different individual ways.

What a surprise this episode, the narrative that casts a shocking truth against Maiko. Really this unexpected reversal in the face starring almost the character of Shu. Love theme tackled well enough, I was involved by the events recounted. Too bad that the drawings were not so good as quality, happy to see yet Tsugumi for most of the time, who knows when will be the right opportunity for Ruri; this season when seen very little. What a surprise to know that Professor Kyoko was going to marry.

Only side characters are immune to cockblock situations. Shu accomplished in one episode what Raku has been trying to do for 2 seasons though the teacher is already decided on getting married.

Well at least Raku offered to walk Kosaki home so thats a +1 for him. And I was quite certain it would be Shu X Ruri.

Now, if only Raku would take his own advice and tell Kosaki straight-out that he's in love with her. It's a good thing Miss Kyouko took it well and encouraged him to not give up on love.

To be honest, I think Raku did the right thing by forcing Shu to confess. I had a huge crush on a girl in my class when I was in middle school, but I was too chicken to even talk to her, let alone confess. She eventually found out I liked her, but I never found out if she liked me back. Things could have been very different if I didn't wuss out and ask her what she thought of me, but what's done is done.

Howver, I do hope Raku eventually gives heed to his own advice and makes a move on Kosaki. It'll probably take a long time, but if he doesn't do it, he's gonna regret it for the rest of his life, especially if she eventually decides to move on and finds another man to love.
