| What a very narrow world they lived there, if i can be honest. Its like they were both running in a circle. No additional character to hold their interaction, rather than those same peoples again and again, which kinda make me sad for a while. Okay. I honestly feel another pity for Tamaru. He just wanted some chilling time, buy the book he liked, like the usual normal people, and back home without wasting much negative energy around that. Then its happening, forced by dang author, he got some bad encounter, and made him look so unwell after that. Lol. Well, the other encounter look so wholesome ironically. Too bad, something not so well will likely be happen soon, under that circumstances. I will hold my popcorn before that. Ah, Ryo-Rio mother made an appearance, soon the father too, prolly. It will be good if he appear somehow in the next episode, disturbing 'the valentine event' between those two. It will be fuckin awesome. Lets see.... |

| well the big valentines day is coming!! the encounter between ryo's coworker and ichika was really wholesome i wonder if they'll ever happen to meet again in the future |
| ^this. That initial meet up was funny lol. Two dudes going at each other and two girls fangirling. Valentines is coming and Arie is already getting some choco for presumably Ryo. But Ichika plans something too. Maybe Tamaru will do something too. I am not sure but I want to see where this goes. |
| How pointless is the drama in this show when both main characters have compatible potential love interests their age, that wouldn't make the relationship really creepy. At this point they may as well just have OL go pedo for Tamaru to have a set of creeps. I thought this show will focus on comedy but so far it's rarely funny and mostly irritating. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| The girl feels "terrified to think what would happen" if she didn't give the creep a gift, since he's been coercing her into getting him one... this must be the "wholesome romance" fans are talking about. And having to hang out with friends secretly for fear that the possessive dude will get mad if he finds out:  ^ those kind of things are said with funny faces, so this must be the "comedy" part of the show, right?... Anyways, another weak episode with plenty of ass-pull "coincidences". Seems like the author couldn't be bothered to come up with imaginative ways to create the ongoing shallow drama. |
| can we all appreciate how consistently beautiful the ed has been? |
 |
| Them all meeting their "counterparts" was pretty funny and them all sharing their tastes in men and women respectively was pretty funny. Just Ryo and Tamaru standing off in a manga store after reaching for the same one was funny and I hope Ichika can meet Matsushima again. The rest of the episode was forgettable at best but learning about young Ryo was slightly interesting at least. |

This one reminds me of Torvi from Vikings, lol. |

Imagine watching series just to hate episodes on public forum, trying to make fans feel uncomfortable by miserably interpreting scenes. Yes, funny face is a signal that the "wringing the neck" is just a joke between 2 friends knowing each other for years. And I know that bcs thats 2D characters chaptured in motion trying to tell a story. Noone is hiding there. Im just amazed that some ppl will go undercover pretending that they just want to express their opinion on the episode to hide the fact that they are to conservative to accept some things and instead do whatever to stick "creep" tag onto them. |
Oh yes, glad I'm nit the only one noticing that. Not only calm ED pleasing your ears after episode but also breathtaking pictures. |
| Oh boy the Big Day is coming...Valentine's Day and it seems like Ichika is prepared to give Ryo something big...I do have a weird feeling about what it is going to be though. Oh know our Girl Arie with Chocolate for Ryo as well...god damn the heartbreak is inevitable. I think the title for next week is from Arie's point of View. Should be a Doozy. |

| Not enough Rio 1/10 episode would not recommend. |
 |
| lol everyday countdown call to valentines ... still creepy! 4/5. |
 |
| Oh yes, another awesome episode: funny to see the MC's rival collusion at each other: Ryou meeting Tamaru again ( this time just them alone): gosh, Ryou really knows how to nail his opponent by digging out Tamaru's real attention are with Ichika ( Ryou sure is ready for a challenge: a declaration of war against his rival) yes I'm so ready, lol!!!! As for Ichika, she's finally met her future rival for the first tiem who's an anime otaku like her, they got along very quickly ( I'm guessing they will meet again in a different outcome knowing that they both like the same guy, who knows?) The Ichika x Ryou telephone discussion was so cute in how they both took a deep breath ( Ryou before he dialed her and Ichika before answer his call): they both are so sync: enjoy talking to each other, sharing their discussion to each other showing their bond is only getting stronger. <3 It's pretty clear Ichika is already have feelings for Ryou without herself even realizing yet ( for her wanting to know more about Ryou is a sign): she's really put a lot of thought of giving Ryou something special for Valentines he'll be happy for: Ryou face expression was so adorable when Ichika told him she wanted to meet him in the 14th: OH YES I'M SO HYPE FOR THE NEXT EPISODE: MORE ICHIKA X RYOU MOMENTS HERE WE COME!!!!! xD |
| For all the hate this show gets for its controversial themes, it's leaps more interesting than Higehiro as it stands right now. |
| Great episode! Ryo and Tamaru's interaction was hilarious, while Arie and Ichika's interaction was very adorable. Yo, that trailer of Forward World actually looked fire, it was clean as hell, I'd definitely watch that lmao. First time we saw Ryo and Rio's mom and looks like their father is coming home too, that ain't good. Ryo reminding Ichika about valentines like a voice assistant or something is hilarious. Ryo's efforts are starting to pay off now, Ichika's starting to gain feelings for him even if she says "she actually doesn't want to" give Ryo a valentines gift she's still being thoughtful about it and she wants to make him happy. Really looking forward to the next episode and for her gift. |
 |
| They speaking on man to man of culture as well lol. |

| Wow, this episode (for some reason) bumped up my score from a 1/10 to a 2/10. Probably because more of the comedy/jokes hit. Way to go. Hopefully it gets better. Not expecting it to end up as a 5/10 though. I don’t know what happened, but I somehow enjoyed Ryou a little bit more this episode than I usually do (I usually despise every scene he’s in, but the one with Tamaru was better than the usual). |
under”Mebius” is my salvation  |
| Bruh they were fighting with each other silently, that death stare that Ryou had with Tamaru was funny. I cant wait to see what Ichika is gonna do for Valentines day for Ryou. |
 |
she is voiced by the "always the rejected girl" HanaKana. That should give you a clue of how her role will play. |
komic said: she is voiced by the "always the rejected girl" HanaKana. That should give you a clue of how her role will play. Now that's bad news, but it's obvious because she ain't the main girl |

| This show has a masterful way of weaving its ED into the end of its episodes. Linaria is such a beautiful song, I can't get it out of my head, and every time I hear it start at the end of each episode it feels like such an emotional rush. Some of the episodes, it weaves in extra dialogue (or monologue) over the intro. Sometimes it marks an abrupt occurrence like in this episode. Gah, love it. |
| The episode flew by. Not enough Tamaru, to be honest. Hanakana as Arriety is probably the only reason I am rooting for her. Can't get enough of her voice. |

| I mean I realize I will be disappointed but I am really rooting for the Ichika x Tamaru and Arietty x Ryou combi... xD |
| I totally didn't notice it last week, until I re-watched it earlier.. (I guess I got bored when I finished watching Hunter x Hunter (2011) earlier)  |

| Cute interaction between Ichika and Arie. I feel like the two will bump into each other at the office. |

And look who's talking? The one who's acting like she/he's been 'forced' to watch this show you didn't like. You are only seeing the negative parts and hyping them and taking them way too seriously. No one pointed out this scene was funny except You. The scenes that we found hilarious were the encounters in this episode. See the comments. And if you're only going to watch it with a super serious critical eye then I suggest you stop watching. You would never like it. Never. Or perhaps you love to watch shows you don't like and comment on it. You wouldn't change the opinions of ones liking it. It's not creepy for us. It's getting clear that Ichika likes Ryo too. If Ichika seriously wanted him out of her life, she would have seriously told his sister to make sure he doesn't call or meet her ever again. She would have never picked his calls either. So no, Ryo is not forcing himself on her. Yes, in the beginning he was creepy, I admit that. Ichika even thought he was messing with her but he's not. Things have changed. They have gotten to know about each other and Ichika pretty much knows how Ryo. And about the age gap.. It's not like Ryo is an old man. Ichika will turn 18 too which is an legal adult age. Plus they haven't done anything se*ual. Seriously go over and watch something you like instead. |
| Ryo and Tamaru meeting at the bookshop, Tamaru almost died there. I have huge respect for Masuda. What a great guy. |
 |
| It's becoming more and more interesting, and I can predict some "fight" between the four ones with that messed up love poylgon... Valentine's day is gonna be bloody xD Also that was some nice talk between Ichika and Masuda, it's sad to hear that Ryou got a chocolate full of hair (uh that's disgusting) during valentine's day |
