| Banri honestly shouldn't be dating anyone until he reconciles his feelings. It is disingenuous to any girl he dates. Too bad he wasn't aware of this conflict until after he started dating Kouko. |
| I'm not convinced that this issue will end from this knowing Koko it won't be that easy for her to just forget that Banri and Linda has a past together. Oh well KokoXBanri :D |
 |
| On a second look those clothes do look good on Linda, but Nana takes the cake :3 Her 4th time XD Glowstick kiss was hot!!! Oh shit, but how did Koko even get there? First name basis, it's about time! He cut ties :( seems a bit extravagant. Linda's flashback makes me think she was/is in love with him. "Koko. Banri. Koko. Banri." Lawl wtf was with that XD I hope we get a new OP and ED next week. |
| Of course Koko had to go and ruin the mood between Linda and Banri. Seriously I don't understand people who want Banri to be with Koko, Koko's being really selfish not wanting him to remember his past. It's not fair. Our past also shapes who we are. And Banri isn't himself without his memories. The end just pissed me off, I mean if this anime ends and Linda and Banri are not together it'll just be stupid. |
| Talk about a deja vu with this episode and Ef a tale of memories for those who have seen it. I sympathize for Kouko. She is really trying her best to be a good girlfriend, but Banri was not being honest to her. Things wouldn't be as bad had he told her from the start, but he was too scared to tall her because he didn't want to get Kouko mad or even sad. Linda x Banri glow stick kiss tease was too kawaii, I was hoping a person in the crowd would say "Hey you two get those lips closer", then Kouko comes and does the Falcon Kouko Slap. Then Banri's cellphone reads 63 messages, deja vu. That's typical Kouko, but knowing her she was also worried on Banri's health. If Banri was smart he could have at least told Kouko I'll be busy between these hours so don't call me or text me not just say I'll be busy for a while, a while can go a long way, and Kouko was just worried on Banri. There goes my Linda x Banri pairing. Oh well time to wait for next episode. |

Too much baggage between them at this point. The ideal end for me would be Linda being happy with someone else and Kouko turning into a decent human being and being happy with Banri. |
| The episode should have ended with the slap u_u and I don't know if some Linda ending is coming closer or going far away. For a part it could get closer because Banri is definitely wanting to be apart of Linda so his feelings for her don't show up, but for... UGH nevermind, Banri is stupid. |
| Las firmas estan sobrevaloradas :P |

Of course there's too much baggage, if Banri haven't lost his memories he and Linda would be together |
| I like Banri, but he really deserved to be slapped. This episode have me finally deciding which couple to ship, which is KagaxBanri, of course. |
Dylanf3 said: What really got me at the end of the episode was that it wasn't Banri intrested in Linda, but that it was the other way around... I feel like Linda and Banri need to be together, but also that he shouldn't break Kouko's heart... Simple answer = Thresome! ^_^ Seriously though Kouko is far too unstable for me. She is a nice girl but totally mental when it comes to boys. I like Linda much more so fingers crossed! |
| *Damn you Banri, Linda was a better choice than Kouko...* Well, isn't it obvious? I mean, everybody knew this was going to happen. Still I prefer Linda over Kouko, but Banri & Kouko is what the story is meant to be. On the other hand, Banri is just dumb, not letting his feelings get through and making a big mess because of it. Well, in the end I relate to him, so that makes me dumb too. Let's see how things unfold! |
| I got to say, despite being a Kouko shipper, that scene with Linda was really hot :D And finally Banri is trying to move forward! Well if he was dating another girl (a normal one), i think he probably would be single right now, for all the lies and for the way he handled the conversation. Ok that he should have been truthful from the start, but Banri pratically shooted himself with that confession. Nevertheless, i really liked how that scene unfolded. And seriuously 63 messages??? Only Kouko lol |

| I've been in situations similar to both Kouko and Linda (dating someone with immense baggage regarding his childhood friend, being childhood friends with someone who was almost more and then dealing with his relationship and his gf's paranoia, neither situation was anywhere this dramatic though) and it's so weird and interesting to watch both these scenarios play out. In the end, I'm way more interested in the girls' development than Banri's, and I don't think he will ultimately be able to make either of them happy while he's still wrestling with his past self. |

| Solid episode. This is the first time that I'm so conflicted on who he will end up with. It's one or the other. Maybe even none, but that is the least likeliest. |
| Jeeze stop hatin' on banri... least he's trying to do the responsible thing here rather than play both girls against each other. He's still a scumbag in many senses but he gained a few points on the respect leaderboard from me this episode. |

Tyrel said: Even if they cemented it, anything can happen in an anime. For example, take Samurai Flamenco bullshit. Stop deluding yourself, Flamenco is anime original, they can pull whatever they can. This is adaptation of nearly finished LN. |
 |
| Well that was a lot of drama in one episode. It's so funny reading the posts on here with each person pissed off at either Banri or Koko hahaha. I think they were both a bit at fault, but at the same time I never liked Koko's personality. I was hoping they were gonna break up, but then she hugged him damn it. LOL. Banri x Linda just took a huge blow, but with Ghost Banri still in Banri, anything could happen. Ghost Banri really does make this show more interesting :) |
| Intense episode... Koko controls Banri a lot, 63 messages O.O in 4 hours... I felt a bit sad for Koko after the party, Banri doesn't really control his feelings for her and Linda... I'm not sure if BanrixKoko is going to stay until the series end... |
| I'm learning English so maybe I make mistakes :) |
| That train of feelings. Seriously Kouko may be the sickest character, but at least she's honest when se must be. |
| lmao Banri deserved to get slapped, but I wouldn't call him an asshole...its not like he was TRYING to have a weird split personality thing going on. I think some of the people on these forums are a lot more emotionally unstable than koko XD it's just an anime guys and gals hahahah |
| I think i understand Kaga. She's overly obsessive cause she's scared. She knew Banri and Linda had a past. But they had kept it from her. So it makes her nervous that they might be cheating on her. The finding them together at the club thing was a bit too convenient though. If she did find them. Yeah, Banri needed the slap. Kaga and Banri's late night chat ended well. So now they're back to being Lovey Dovey. It's a tough break for the Linda shippers. I really think any hope died with that picture being ripped apart. Banri gave Linda one last shot and she reaffirmed the "friend-zone". Banri manned up and finally put it to bed and DE-friend-zoned himself. They ain't nothing but classmates now. |

Barion-Zara said: I'm actually starting to ship MitsuoxLinda. Their interactions this ep were so fun. Lol'd so much at Mitsuo getting in the mood XD Linda deserves better than Banri [still gotta feel bad for Ghost Banri though XD] Me too. Judging from this episode and next weeks preview I can Mitsuo x Linda happening. Mitsuo seems interested in Linda now. |
 |
| Bandi and Koko have a really strong relationship and I really like that. Bandi is going to have to beat the old Bandi's ass inside of heads to silence him or something old Bandi is annoying with his outbursts. Great episode!!! |

| Overly Attached Girlfriend 1 Perfect Childhood Friend 0.5 I still hope Linda wins or a nice boat is fine too. |

| I understand Kouko could be worried... but Banri said he will stay at home, even if this wasn't true, but she thought he will stay, so what could happen? He isn't some 60 year old guy who have problems with heart, so if he don't pick on phone must means something happen with him. I think she just overreacting, she want have full controle on Banri's life. Don't go there, don't work, don't go to school, don't go see meet Linda, don't meet other friends... Just stay with me for 24h per 7 days in week. Even if she is just "anime character" is just annoying. Outside appearance, she have nothing which could make more people coule like her or at lass tolerate? -.- I can't identify her, I don't have feelings like "I want be like her!" or "She is such cool character!" Really, why Kouko isn't some supporting character? How much amazing this anime was if she wasn't MC? -.- |
Laciie said: Wow, the thing with Kouko really hit me hard. I actually cried. Ahhh god. I've been rooting for Kouko all this time, but I didn't really mind if Linda ended up with him either. But now I'm just cheering for the two of them a lot more. I really appreciate Kouko's efforts though, to be that ideal 'good girlfriend'. She really did try her best to not be too... clingy, I suppose? It hurt that Kouko was so worried about him all that time and that he was actually doing that secret part time job (despite it being for Kouko's sake only). Wow, especially with all her insecurities, that must have hit her so hard. She even apologized for hitting him. Anyways, I really liked this episode. I still think that Banri and Linda should have resolved their feelings, and maybe they will eventually, since I am not sure if past!Banri's 'ghost' is going to keep quiet after this. LittleStar said: 63 messages?! She looked him everywhere?! Sorry, but for me this is just sick! I'm trying, but I fail to see why this is sick, considering that she was merely worried about him. so after a few hours someone calls the police that you may be missing, searches everywhere etc... honestly, when she said what should I do I just wanted to say get your own damn independence. she should stop acting as a 5 year old would. |
 |
| This episode po'd me so much I hope no one wins at the end! Banri deserved getting slapped and so does Linda. She can't fool me, deny it all you want, but the more you do the more obvious It becomes. I feel for Mitsuo, he's the most deserving out of everyone. Hell, out of everyone, Nana (not Linda) is the only one that has a clue of what's going on. |
| I fail to understand how could someone want to date Kouko, she's fucking nuts. I was expecting them to break up but oh well... A girl can dream. I might drop this, it's pretty much 100% obvious that Kouko and Banri will end up together and she won't change at all. They're trying to romanticize the "stalker" girlfriend behaviour and I find it annoying, at first I thought they were going to put the route where she changes for good, but it's not happening. Even if she shays "I'm trying to be a good girlfriend" I can't see it. Sent with Mal Updater |
| Damn, what an episode. Koko came at the wrong time when she saw Linda and Banri. Banri and Kokos relationship really grew strong though, really does seem like they'll be together though out the show now. I was really hoping for Banri and Linda, but the final scenes really ended that possibility. They both decided to throw away there past really put the nail in the coffin. Great episode, can't wait for next Thursdays! |
| Linda x Mitsuo anyone? Oh and Mitsuo x Nana |

| My girlfriend would kill me if she found me in a situation like that... |
| some stuff that was interesting in this episode: 1.) 7:38, banri x linda glow stick kissing; how did koko find out banri was there? maybe koko used google maps...& seeing koko throw water in his face with the slap...it's about time they cranked up the tension. 2.) 10:37, 63 messages from koko to banri; i'm personally not a fan of koko at all cuz she's a spoiled brat & stalker freak. if she would've showed like 70% of her nice side first, i could've accepted the brat/stalker koko. but seeing those 63 messages meant that she was really worried about banri. i give her some points for that. 3.) 14:07, banri x koko argument; banri was being very honest to koko, even saying that he has started to remember his feelings for linda. I was pretty sure it was over for banri x koko. but i was surprised that koko actually forgave him. that takes a lot of guts cuz he might end up hurting her again. She's very determined to be a good girlfriend. i don't like koko but she earns my respect. 4.) 18:57, banri x linda discussion; both banri and linda were being extremely honest here. it gave me the chills and listening to the saxophone & background music just put me in a surreal trance. 5.) 20:17, the look on linda's face just pains me. what banri suggests makes sense. if he keeps seeing linda, he might get his memories back and realize his feelings for linda. i hate banri for making her feel that way and for saying that they should completely forgetting about each other. he could've just said he's busy with koko if linda ever tries to invite him to do stuff. she could take the hint at that point. dam it banri, wtf r u doing. linda is someone who's hard to find in this world. if banri really loses her, he just fails her and himself. ------------------------- well, all in all, pretty good episode. lot of tension and drama. i'm not real fans of banri and koko. i'm more interested in seeing them fail. i'm a huge fan of linda because she's easy-going and laidback. if linda really wants banri at her side, then i just have to accept it as it is. |
| I think Banri will end up with Linda eventually. Kouko's been abusive from the start, but he's too inexperienced to see how unhealthy a relationship he has with her. |
| That was such an episode. Full of confessing each other's feelings. Intense. I am really glad he solved the issue with Koko... but he broke ties with Linda as a consequence instead. Now to wait for Linda to make a move. |
