Well, Sayu's brother isn't so bad after all. I mean, he geninuely does care about Sayu.
Looks like we got an episode with Sayu and Yoshida spending meaningful time together since it's assumed that she would be leaving soon. The character chemistry seems even more intense than usual as it highlights the emotional level of their relationship up to now.
I like the moments when they were together, even though Sayu had to go to Hokkaido. Watching the stars together is a beautiful moment I hope it will be even better, and that sleeping scene.
And also wtf? No comment. I mean this scene, thanks for Gotou part really... let it be a secret, FK.
Chapter 13 strting with a company director, I'm a little confused about the meaning of this sentence. That is the prologue of Gotou, When Gotou was about to leave the office, in front of the door was a girl wearing school uniorm, yeah she was Sayu... Sayu went to Yoshida's office for some reason, but Yoshida wasn't in the office because she was worried about Sayu, this was a ridiculous situation and Sayu was shocked.
Gotou calls Yoshida because Sayu have been found, Gotou tells Yoshida to come to his house because Gotou's house is close to the company and there are some things she wants to talk about.
Sayu and Gotou talking about Yoshida, until Gotou said "If she was same as Sayu, Gotou runs away from home " Gotou in high school, Gotou ran away from home, chapter 13 ends with that.
End of Chapter 13 ~
Starting with Airi's prologue when she was in high school, Gotou when high school was a cheerful girl, she has no doubt, Airi thought that she was different from other people because her perspective on other people was different. Airi took the "reading book" club.... Until one day Airi met a guy, Airi had known him since the first year and Airi kept her friendship apart. Somehow Airi felt why this relationship didn't reach loves? Airi continued to distance this relationship.
One day, Airi's friend, that guy ... was about to study abroad, The man told Airi to support him, for the first time Airi refused something. Airi thought that living alone seemed fun, Airi went home and packed important things, underwear, money, and many more. Airi was planning to leave the house, Airi walked in the city at night, Until Airi was exhausted from walking so far, Airi leaned against the curb iron, Airi was being approached by three Ugly Bastards, Airi felt that their gaze was fixed on Airi's breasts, The three ugly Bastard grabbed Airi's hand and forced Airi to have sex. Airi tried to run away but couldn't, Airi wanted to scream but couldn't until a guy in a black suit arrived.
That guy told the three Ugly Bastards that it seemed the three Ugly Bastards had been bothering his daughter, The man lied to save Airi. The three Ugly Bastards fled. Nanpa and Gyakunan? I didn't understand but yeah, it's metode Airi to talk with that guy it seem like Nanpa seem seductive.
Suzuki-san, It was the name of that guy who saved Airi, Suzuki invited Airi to stay at his house. Suzuki is the head of a private school, Suzuki already married and has a son. Although Suzuki's wife was shocked they finally allowed Airi to stay, Until one day Airi made a mistake, yeah, she was falling in love with Suzuki. Airi knows that Suzuki already has a wife but Airi falls in love with Suzuki, it's been one month since Airi lived with Suzuki ... Airi's love for Suzuki are increasing, every morning Airi always wakes up because of the sex sound of Suzuki and his wife, and that's a usual.
Until the night, Airi woke up and was about to go to the bathroom, Airi heard the voices of Suzuki and his wife. They talked about the rumors that were circulating, The rumors say that Suzuki brought home a high school girl, Suzuki's wife suggested to send Airi home but Suzuki refused because Suzuki couldn't suddenly kick her out. Hearing this, Airi was surprised and then Airi wrote a letter, Airi left Suzuki's house and returned home. Gotou's past story ends here, back to Sayu. Yoshida and Hashimoto have arrived at Gotou's house, Yoshida was angry that Sayu had disappeared.
Yoshida asked Gotou to leave for three days, it was difficult because the leave the jobs request had to be done a month or a week before leaving, but Gotou tried to get time for Yoshida. Gotou asked for meat in return, in return, then Gotou whispered to Yoshida "help Sayu until the end". The three of them drive to home.
Well now two people are going to Hokkaido the question will it help with Sayu's mother.
At Least Sayu got more confident and she learned a few things about life.
Anyway the panic part was nice Yoshida learned a few things as well and hopefully something will come from it.

So the father was a cheater and wanted the mother to abort Sayu... that's horrible.
Yoshida will accompany her to Hokkaido, that's nice of him.
I didn't all the "teasing" moments at all though.
Fairly sweet episode, if a bit boring tbh since nothing really happened, and most of it felt quite transient which I do believe is what they wanted the episode to feel, like time passes whether you like it or not kinda vibe. Yoshida's finally becoming a man and making his own decisions lol, so he's going to join Sayu on her trip to Hokkaido!
Seems like the mother is in her own league of being trashy, I assume she was an affair outside of his main marriage - correct me if I'm wrong- and wanted to pregnancy trap their father into staying but it didn't work, causing the one she wanted to use to be abused instead as a way of seeking petty revenge at the man she couldn't keep. God damn. Side note, the brother is a real one, still apologising for his misinterpretation earlier in the series and still caring for sayu even though her mother didn't even love her.
Yoshida was clearly distraught but decided to tough it out, which is quite the opposite of what you should do tbh, the guy just swamped himself with work without trying to enjoy sayu's last days before she went back to hokkaido but his friend is porbably the only one with a brain in this series and tells him to stop lying to himself, snapping him out.
Mishima was honestly great this episode, helping her 'rival' out and putting her feelings aside for the better of Sayu's mental health. Solid stuff.
The whole sayu's missing charade was kinda useless, but it did develop some more understanding for yoshida to be honest, what with his friend giving him a piece of his mind.
The end scene was quite nice, and sayu realising she doesn't have to face her demons alone is quite the facelift for her.
Can't wait to see next episode, and see the mother put in her place by yoshida - hopefully.

First, Sayu's brother explaining Sayu's childhood to Yoshida and telling him how many bad circumstances she has to go through in her life just because she didn't get her parent's love. What made her smile disappear like that. Then, the whole conversation between Sayu and Yoshida, where she told him, she wants to stay there forever. Tears were shared in between as well.
I was scared just as much as Yoshida when he was told that Sayu isn't picking her phone and she has gone somewhere. But, I'm glad that she's safe. Just a little prank by Asami. But really goes to show how much he cares about Syau and his friend also said some true things to him. At last, he decides to go to Hokkaido with Sayu to see her mom himself. That was sweet of him. He's becoming more and more of a father figure to her.
What an absolutely adorable end to a rather tense episode. Sayu is obviously scared to go home alone after what happened with her family before, so easiest solution is for Yoshida to go with her. That final bed scene was so damn cute.
Shoutout to Mishima and Yoshida’s other friend for covering for him at work and allowing him to leave so he could be with Sayu. Real ones.
I’m a bit nervous for next week, Yoshida meeting Sayu’s mother probably won’t go well given the age difference…
"To go home or not to go home", this is a question so complex that to arrive at the final answer would take tulmunous amounts of effort.
Sayu's brother Issa meeting Yoshida in private, and Sayu is truly blessed to have such a brother like him. Delving into the messy and turbulent life of the Ogiwara Family, it's truly saddening that Sayu has to face such intense family problems, and now that she has to go back home regardless.
Spending the little of time they have left between each other, the discourse of time past and present will always stick by both Sayu and Yoshida, but the now is as important as their first meeting: truly like a parent-child relationship that started the good heartwarming path.
For colleagues like Hashimoto and Mishima to face Yoshida with his heartfelt doubts, there's nothing but the truth exclaimed, and nice to have them to realize and shoulder his problems at work when he couldn't reach Sayu. The etching of Hashimoto on questioning Yoshida's thoughts was very spot-on, though her runaway journey was to his office as a surprise for the last day before she leaves for Hokkaido.
Yoshida has chosen to go with Sayu to Hokkaido to see her family...and would like to see that distance inch closer between the 2.

Edit* i have to crop the image because
Thank you very much, I understand nothing.
I feel you man, expanded it to see what what happening, ended up understanding the theory of relativity when in comparison to the movement of the tides when the moon is purple due to the molecular formula of bricks. It felt like my head was going to explode with nonsense xD

Finally, they told about Sayu and the reason why her mom hates her.
Yoshida decided to go to Hokkaido together with Sayu, that's nice to her. She needs someone to help her to talk with her mother. Otherwise, her mother will not listen to anything about Sayu.

Edit* i have to crop the image because
The anime cut that Gotou's part. Literally, a lot of chapters from the light novel were cut.
Sayu's brother is really protective, love his personality.
Sayu wants to stay with Yoshida after all, but if she does that. She will never be able to face her past and move forward.
She even made Yoshida tear up xD
Sad episode, hopefully it has a happy ending..
You can do it!
“You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!”
This show is cringing me out. It's getting weirder and weirder every single episode. And I'm also starting to hate sato for her stupid actions. (The backstory is the stupidest backstory I have ever seen)
damn so not only does Sayu have the guilt of friends suicide, but she also has to deal with her mother using her as simply a tool to get her father to stay close to her
It also seems like friend-kun is already aware that Sayu is the only one to get the yoshiDa, poor kouhai-chan even after getting rejected she still plays wingwoman role #bestgirl
todorooo said: seriously what's wrong with this girl? lmao
Seriously man........such a dumb and annoying character
Still weirdos like her for no reason. These seasonal overhyped shows are worse
ikr I used to rate this show a 7/10 but now it's 4/10 for me lmao.
this may hurt many weirdos but this show now feels exactly like a normal harem hentai, just remove sex from it🤣
No joking, character motivation is unreal like hell + animation is pretty much similar to those harem hentai
Yay, let's go. I don't get what is so good about the show or this episode. The conversations are too long and generic and the... can't call it action but it just isn't climactic. It all just ends. All of her problems are solved like it was nothing. There isn't any point worrying about anything cause you can sum it all up to everyone just loves Sayu since she's cute. The reason Sayu's mom hates is sad but felt so casual that it might as well have been a detective explaining it (meaning it boring and lacks emotions created by the people producing the show).

It's the pacing, I dunno what happened but they sped it up like tenfold, so everything feels, and is, contrived
I really don't know what to feel anymore, I couldn't even change my facial expression with Sayu's goodbye, it was too artificial and generic.
I just hope Yoshida keeps his word and doesn't create a romance in the middle of the trip, in that same episode it was reinforced that he is like a father figure to Sayu, who hugged her and wants to see her grow up and live her Youth. If in the end they become a couple and totally ignore Mishima and Gotou, my grade will drop even further. (not that it really matters what a random person like me feels hah)
Well I don't know what to think about the anime anymore, let's just finish the next 2 episodes and forget it ever existed.
keep yoshida, sayu, her brother and mother (and father if he plays any role in this anime) and deleted every1 else and this is a 9/10.
every1 else just triggers me.
ah, keep her friend from the conv store too, she is nice.
At this stage, the things that Yoshida and Sayu say and do don't make any sense anymore. Yoshida, in particular, has just turned into an idiot and needs everything spelt out for him. Sayu clearly has always wanted him to look at her and he's just fallen for it completely. It just seems to be lazy, girl thrown in front of me, she'll do. he has no problem with her holding his hand and, now, getting in bed with him? Oh, it's because she's leaving soon.
And Sayu is still so needy, why can't her brother take over and support her? Apart from having a safe spot and feeling more relaxed and comfortable, because of the nice people around her, she doesn't seem to have learned very much.
His friend saying 'she's a lot cuter than you made her sound' is kind of telling as well. Don't think the second half of this story has been kind to Yoshida's character, to be honest.
Nice to see that Sayu’s brother truly is a genuine person. Sleeping scene was nice as well. Looking forward to seeing Yoshida meet Sayu’s mother too. Pacing has been a bit off but I mean there’s only 12 episodes so I can kinda forgive that.
why the big deal on accompanying her? she's lived with you for months and you've kept her alive without any merit at the same time it doesnt matter if you're her family or not lmaoo
I cried when Sayu said she wants her encounter with Yoshida to be a valuable moment in her life & that she will only bring home with her the memories she had with Yoshida (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)
Also is Yoshida’s character design that difficult to be consistent with?? The art is so inconsistent when it comes to him. Sometimes he looks 10 years younger & his side profiles are always drawn different.
And aren’t his friends being too much?? So nosey. Regardless of what Yoshida decided in the end — Why the fuck did Mishima & Hashimoto keep persuading him to accompany & go with Sayu??!!! They already made a mutual decision to move on & Sayu wants to be brave to face her own past & move on. Maybe they had his best interests in mind since they knew he would be affected & were worried for him but is that really in the best interests of Sayu????? Jesus. She’s not a toddler. Realistically she’s gotta move on without him sooner or later. It’s her own life. I just felt like it wasn’t their place. Annoyed me a little.
I thought it would be more compelling & a better way to wrap this up if Sayu moved on & they either kept in contact/met few years later when she’s more stable again. And whatever else they want to develop would be more natural & validate & honour this valuable moment in her life that Sayu says she wants to treasure so much. This feels dragged out. But we’ll see!
ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there
— the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ
No Sayu x Gotou discussion - when she finds Sayu stood outside the office in her schoolgirl outfit at the time Yoshida should have gone home (but he'd already rushed out thinking she'd done a runner) - so no finding out that Gotou looked like Sayu when she was a teenager, and that she was out late and three men tried assaulting/raping her and she was rescued by someone like Yoshida, who put her up until she was ready to go home.
Mishmina's last interesting bit cut too....
adaptation is bad - all the characters apart from Yoshida/Sayu are just cardboard cut outs to fill the plot - even Asami (who is basically playing cupid to push them together as a couple - "because she thinks they'd make a nice couple and knows Sayu loves Yoshida").
So next week - time to go home and confront the evil witch of a mother.
Even the animators seem to have given up on the story a bit, it's looking worse each episode, I've seem better facial expressions in Hentai and Ex-Arm.
I'd say treat the anime as an advert for the LN and read the LN to get the backstories - but having read a fan-translation of volume 5 - I'd say don't bother it's not worth the effort as the ending is just as disappointing and contrived as Quints.
Jajajaja I love how they cut off some screen time for the old hags. It's a story about Sayu and Yoshida anyway. The old women are just sidekicks so there's no problem with cutting them.

Goddamn, so Sayu's father was a massive cheater. Good thing Sayu wasn't aborted but, damn, their father sucks. Sayu's brother actually isn't a half-bad person. That scene under the tree was so sweet. So, Sayu and Yoshida are going to Hokkaido together. I'd like to see where this goes.
