Sakurai Rihoko’s arc is surprisingly good. Not only does the arc go past Christmas Day, the arc goes on until both Rihoko and Junichi gets promoted to their senior year. I enjoy this story line a lot more than the past two. I like the gift Junichi gives to the graduating senior, Ruriko and Manaka. I like how Rihoko and Junichi are both shy to confess to each other, and Rihoko writing her wish down on the shrine visit on New Year’s Day. The ending of this arc really surprises me because Rihoko and Junichi is the only arc that doesn’t end up with the protagonist and heroine getting together, but just being there for each other.

wtf so far in ever single arc the main lead end up with each other...
what's going on with this arc?


thats wat i was thinking.

I really wanted the happy ending here more than any of the others. I think Rihoko was the cutest and deserved the happy ending the most so far...she is so adorable

This was the arc I was waiting for...
... Why did it had to end up being the worst of them all!
Chrismas being that early in the arc already made me suspicious, I should've known.

It's not that I had to see a confession or kiss scene, but the whole arc was kinda slow. Every episode had the same conclusion; Rihoko likes him, he doesn't care, what will happen? (Just for the last episode you can change the last part to "you got to be f*cking kidding me, this is the end?"). Because of the slow pace I thought it would end with a bang, but this arc really had no cute moment (you can't really count him grabbing her boobs can you, even when his towel fell they just skipped to the next scene like nothing happened).
Even if they still are friends at the end, they should've given more hints that they would end up together in the future, or at least have some romantic moments (regardless on how he reacts to it).

It's a real pitty, because I still think Rihoko is the girl with the most potential up 'til now.

And I really waited for Junichi to say "Besides, you really don't need to be on a diet, you're good as you are now". Goddamnit, this really was a poor act from Junichi this arc.

What a bad ending for this arc...Still as friends with hopes for the future?It's like those 4 episodes had no development at all...probably the worst arc for me.

I definitely saw this ending coming. Rihoko is nothing but BFF material.
Rihoko popular with the guys? O_o How is that possible?
Nanasaki arc is still the best!!

while it's not a bad ending, it's a very disappointing one. was expecting more from this.

why is Haruka the only girl to get the "10 years later" epilogue so far.

I really like Rihoko and this arc but I don't really like the ending. Now that I think about it, I should have expected that considering that there wasn't really any development in the past three episodes. But it's still annoying.

I really liked the insert song though.

Bah - friendzoned.

Oh well, as the banner near the end says 'Persistance yeilds results', so I can dream to myself that over the thrid year Junichi and Rihoko will slowly fall in love. Sigh.

This arc felt more like the Tea Clubs route than Rihoko's in some regards. More a school drama than a romance?! Anyways - on to the last full arc!

Well, it wasn't a bad arc and I agree that this certainly wasn't a "romance" arc more like an arc about Rihoko improving herself and trying to save the Tea club.

But, god damnit, this shit better not happen in the Ayatsuji arc. I'm really interested in her arc, for some reason. Probably because I'm curious as to why it was saved for last..it's got to be good..right?

I was glad that they switched it up this arc and made it more from Rihoko's perspective than from Junichi's for once.

Them ending up as friends seemed much more realistic than them ending up together, that having been said this was probably the most pointless of all of the arcs so far. I mean I liked Rihoko and all but there wasn't any romantic development and I didn't really give a fuck about the Tea Club so it really missed out on the feel of the other arcs.

Also, anyone else think that Junichi was kind of a dick in this arc?
Harems don't exist in America. If one guy is constantly surrounded by beautiful girls, then he's probably the gay friend.

I'm glad I knew how this path would play out, I would have been rather disappointed if it caught me off guard. Well, he never really turned her down, so she might still have a chance in the future, or that's what I would like to think. 4/5 and my least favorite arc.

This arc was very sweet, but the ending ruined everything. I would like to see them as a real couple.
This arc had everything to be my second favorite but the ending ruined everything. So this is the ending I liked the least.
I have high hopes on the last arc.

I so rooted for that girl since the beginning, but then they decided for such an ending. Oh dear, i'm wondering if War of the Worlds had a better developed climax.
Or does it rather feel like an Inception ending?

I am disappoint. Kinda. Besides that, the arc was very enjoyable and so was Rihocchi.

I give this a 3/5 not because I don't like Rihoko, but because they did not give her justice at all. She deserved way more than this and I'm very disappointed.

Worst arc so far. Rihoko deserved a beautiful end too. :(

Haruka's Arc : 9/10
Kaoru's Arc : 8/10
Sae's Arc : 8/10
Ai's Arc : 9/10
Rihoko's Arc : 6/10.. Yeah 6.. because i really thought something else would happened, its like Pony Canyon trolled us... poor Rihoko really..

Weakest arc so far, no doubt. Rihoko was also the weakest character.

The show started off with two pretty good arcs. Sae's was the 2nd weakest arc, and Ai's was decent. I hope Ayatsuji's arc is good.

Btw, Manaka is a pretty funny character. xD

OMG i cant accept this ending!!! Rihoko deserves a better ending with them being lovers rather than the friendship ending and her waiting for him to like her.. all the other characters get ending that are great except her :( she liked him from kindergarten!! hopefully in the next season she gets a better ending with them being lovers rather than being BFF's. she is one of my favorite characters, anyway its the last arc ahhh i dont want this to end yet!!

This arc could be a total failure, but the Tea Club memebers made the show not bad and eventually I enjoyed watching this arc. Though I didn`l like Rihoko at all, but Manaka Hiba is a great supporting character, so it was worth seeing!)

My summary of this arc:

I'm positive. This arc has the abilities of the Rage Mode, with the help of KYOJI!

*Gundam transformation SFX and awesome music*

This hand of mine glows with an awesome RAGE! It's burning grip tells me to flip this table!


Take this! My anger! My disappointment! AND ALL OF MY RAAAAAGE!


TABLE FLIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! Rage! RAAGE! RAAAAAAAAGE!

Decent episode although I expected more for this arc as I was actually looking forward when this girls arc was going to be seen... but in the end it was rather sad they didn't really slowed down with the proper development towards the end! Still a nice arc, lets go to the last arc of this season!

Didn't have any hopes for this arc since I never liked her when she appeared in previous episodes because she just... sounds, looks and acts stupid but still gave it a shot because the Kaoru arc was so good.

Well, in the end she changed my view of her a little but the arc was still a complete waste of time and skip worthy...onto the next one.
