it's nice when people are not ashamed of their feelings and all that, but why are there like 3-4 huge emotional scenes in each episode??

The Subaru development is very welcome! I did not expect that speech, but I thought it was nice (if a little overwrought). The reaction from the boys was heartwarming. <3

Also, I've really been enjoying Saku these last few episodes. The dude has been growing on me. I wish we got to see more of him.

As for the romance, it was sweet. I was a little taken aback with Kaoruko's reaction, though. She seemed sad while they were playing with fireworks again. Not what I would've expected.

Amazing beach episode, the confession was genuine and unscripted, this is why it was so powerful.
I'm waiting for the final episode!

The things some childish mocking comments about hair color can do to a person, huh? Not gonna lie, the whole first half with Subaru was painfully corny and dragged-out. I mean, I thought we already went through this a couple episodes ago.

That said, second half was definitely better. Visuals of the beach at night were stunning and last scene with the blurted-out confession was lovely despite the abruptness of it.

amazing ep that bring as at a new place.. the beach.. we start of pretty well with the gang arrive at the beach.. but slowly we see one character distant herself from herself who is subaru.. whenever someone ask her what she want she will reply "whatever you like" .. and she seems upset about herself.. we cut to the beach where the gang is going on playing while subaru was left behind.. waguri notice this and ask her if something wrong.. subaru begin to explain that she feels like she doesn't belong here with the other.. but waguri told her to let out her feelings and let other know

we move on to the scene where subaru explain that she have problems dealing with man.. the other male character didn't know about this beside rintaro due to their interactions in beforehand.. she explain that she have a trauma from her past that make her can deal with man.. but she realises that this man are not like any other.. we cut to the scene where Saku kick water to subaru and explain that they already friend..

next we move to firework scene where they already run out of firework so the other decide to go buy more firework.. while waguri and rintaro was left behind.. and now the "i love you" that rintaro accidentally blurt out make waguri shock..

i was kinda disappointed that they remove the train where waguri and rintaro avoid eye contact between each and that make their friend worried.. i thought this scene was kinda important since it show that they care for both of them..

overall solid episode cant wait ep 13 the final episode that lead up to all of this

Wow that ending I thought the anime is over with that, but there is another episode tomorrow :D Nice!
Most of them act a little too childish for their age, more like middle schollers, but its cute in its way and funny for me :) This should be romantic comedy, because this is not drama at all, not sure why it is tagged drama.

Sad that there was no bikini scene :D

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

I was hoping for some bikini action at the beach, but I guess a love confession is also cute.

First off can I just say that the clothing fashion of the character in this show are just so good, like I'm kinda envious by how good our bros look :}

But, what a great episode from Sabura being able to open up and really connect with the gang to Rintaro dropping the bombshell we were all waiting for in this beach episode!

Most of the episode is okay but the time when Rintaro and Kaoruko are left alone is what steals the spotlight, Rintaro's confession is so well done, it's great

Subaru had some issues with her feelings but of course everyone consider her as a friend :) that ending though, perfect set on the seaside during the night doing fireworks to actually confess to Kaoruko, that was both heartwarming and awkward lol, but now we need an answer for the last episode!!

I love this episode. Subaru's vulnerability strucks me the most as it shows how she really wants to move forward and change.

It makes me want to change myself also, but reality hits different as I can't always change quickly.

I love that rintaro, natsusasawa, yorita, and usami became a safe circle for subaru to grow. She wants to grow and to see herself as the person they love.

FINALLY, RINTARO CONFESSES MWHWHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHE, KINIKILIG AKOOOOO

Ah yes, lull the viewers into a false sense of security then...BOOM!!! Drop the bomb. I was half-expecting this, though I laughed when it happened. Still, that was the best move for Rintaro at this point. It's Waguri's move now.

We're finally witnessing some progress between Saku and Subaru, and that scene at the end was a total "OH SHIT" moment. Well done on that confession, Rintaro.

While there were no bikinis in this episode the confession at the end more than made up for that as I was not expecting that and neither was Waguri lol. I mean she was left so stunned that Subaru is probably wondering why she is on the edge. Speaking of Subaru, I wonder what happened to her to be anxious around men, guessing maybe she was teased as a kid and hopefully it wasn't something worse like being assaulted.

An episode where Subaru overthinks a lot of things—where he feels unworthy of hanging out with the others. Overall, this episode is quite slow-paced due to its emotional depth. And like many romance anime, the second-to-last episode always ends with "certain scenes"—you know what I mean, right?
