Ooh. She said "no, you can't".

Good episode. It was nice of Izumi to help Natsume get to her exam and Komiya is on the attack.

I like both girls but I prefer natsume. I understand where she's coming from and I think people are just hard on her cause she is confused and indecisive. Personally I'm watching her start to grow, while camera girl seems to be getting jealous now and is ready to make her move. Natsume who has finally realized her own feelings for Izumi is starting to move as well. Izumi also has no interest in Komiya. She's going to get her heart broken if this keeps up, I'm just saying.

Eita was amazing this episode, he helped out both Komiya and especially Natsume when she was in huge disarray. He is such a bro.

Natsume really coming to grow very attached to him and refusing Komiya asking him out on a date. That's gonna be interesting.

Didn't expect it but i'm really liking Natsume now, this episode was very good for her.

Komiya got in trouble but eita is there to clam her down and lets her use the photo.
He saves natsume too since she's always unlucky in the important moments.

i honestly don’t give a fk about IzumiXNatsume. Natsume had her chance ages ago and now she switches over to Izumi when he helps her with Haruto and she doesn’t even really confess to Haruto(only giving him the eraser back). KomiyaXIzumi all the way even tho in the end Natsume it seems will be the one ending up with Izumi.

Let's follow the standard sh**ty story-telling: since Ena strikes first, she's the heel, and (as we all expect) Mio is the face.

While I do hope for a good ending + victory for Ena who is definitely the better character (and actually, best chara of the series,)
I cannot help but to shake my head and sigh on how bleak is the chance for such scenario to happen. :(

Also the story foundation is falling apart.
Like:
- how quickly Mio changes heart is totally annoying (even if it's predictable,)
- how one scene of Eita running tells more about Mio than whole 6 episodes where they were supposed to build her up along with the first triangle.
She's been unlucky at the most critical time most of the time. That's the reason why she's such a pesimist and worrywart and can only do nothing but brood on her relationship with Haruto.
If only they had told that early, maybe Mio would have been better told now, and that would have helped a lot in getting us to sympathize with her (and subsequently, root for her.)

Well, at least there's Ena to drive the story forward. Else we would have no anime.

And this is how you make a love triangle with both girls being really interesting. While I get the general love towards Komiya, because of how she has been portrayed so far, Natsume is slowly getting her character development, so I can't really decide which one is better.

The only bad thing is that it will probably end up biased towards Mio as she is the main girl, so probably the ending will not be surprising at all. But, I'm fine with either of them winning as long as the development is good.

Natsume was happy to keep Eita as an orbiter until Camera-chan came along and made her jealous, she never fought for him so I don't think she deserves him, Camera-chan on the other hand is fighting hard but Eita doesn't really seem interested. I hope Camera isn't being used as a prop to get Eita and Natsume together.
That ending was perfect though, it makes sense that Camera would be honest about her feelings and that she would go straight to Natsume to ask what her intentions were in regards to Eita.

As usual shippers ignore who the man himself is interested in.............typical.

Crush & Childhood Friend >>>>>> Annoying Junior (That's how Eita sees them tbh)

Besides for all the indecisive complains (this episodes nicely showed the reason), Mio mostly gave up on her crush for Haruto, realized her feelings (somewhat atleast) for Eita and directly said no to Komiya's date plan.

I personally like Natsume a lot more than Ena, althrough it annoyed me that she was so dense about Izumis feelings, and I'm pretty sure that Natsume X Izumi is going to happen, but there are still 5 episodes to go so who knows? maby Komiya is really the better one to choose... we will see.

Don't think so, I think its a classic case of: you have to lose sth to know its worth, and she only realised those feelings she had for Izumi. Also I think its quite Ignorant to say that komiya deserves izumi, I think she herself is in a similar position with those two club members who are obviusly into her... Also whats honest about directly telling Natsume her intentions? Isnt it more of a move to kick her out of the race for Izumi early by making her quit? Also Komiya already knows that Izumi likes Natsume.

I see that the Waifu wars have begun.
I never said that Camera deserves Eita, I don't think she's done enough yet and Eita doesn't seem all that interested, I just said that Natsume doesn't deserve him either, she hasn't done anything.
Camera-chan knew that Eita had a crush on Natsume so she was warning Natsume to either accept Eita's feelings or stop stringing him along so that she could take a shot at him.
Camera is the most honest person in the whole show, she realized her feelings and acted on them straight away unlike everyone else.

completely agree with this. It just seems that she generally has more feelings towards Eita than Natsumi does (plus she actually realizes it). I feel that her feelings are more developed rather than "oh you gave me an umbrella thanks lulz"

Unfortunately it's obvious Natsume is going to win. Now that she has realized her feelings for Izumi there's nothing really standing in there way. Izumi doesn't like Komiya like that and will reject her sadly, literally everything points that outcome. This is basically True Tears again and True Tears was trash, so I think I'm about done with this show. i don't care about Natsume x Eita at all.

You gotta give it to this show that, despite its slow pace, it's not hesitant when it comes to throwing us into the drama. So this was ep7, which means there will either be 5 episodes of love triangle wars, or something else even coming along (like more of Haruto & Hazuki or something).

Maybe I am just stupid, but I really didn't see the end of this ep coming. Sure, it became clear that Ena has developed feelings for Eita, but that she'd figure it out that quick? But when she asked Natsume to meet up, I was like "oh gosh, no you're gonna challenge her or what?" And of course, given Natsume's and Ena's characters, I would have thought, Natsume would give Ena a go since she's unsure about everything in her life.

When it comes to deciding whose side I'm on, it's really difficult. Sure, Ena is determined and likeable, but what got to me was when Eita recounted all the bad coincidences in Natsume's past. Damn, just how well did he observe her? He must really have been in love very much, and that's why I eventually ship Eita x Natsume more. I gotta admit, though, that Natsume's sudden change of mind regarding her feelings is only excuseable due to her being indecisiveness personified.

Izumi has give a lot of attention to Natsume since middle school. He even know she always had a bad luck when it comes to important things. Now we know why he made 'that' kind of face when Natsume said that it didn't concern him at all at eps...(damn I forgot)

I thought it'll be another cliffhanger in the end but that Natsume answer though.. Things gonna be more interesting now

Loved this episode! For a slow paced show such as "just because", this episode gave us everything we needed to spice things up.
Eina realized her feelings for Eita and went straight to atack, which is quite amazing considering the majority of females with love interests in anime that take the whole show just to ask the guy on a date, and Natsume ,when confronted by Eina asking her to go out with Eita, finally realizes that her feelings for Eita are more than just friendship. These events give us the perfect amount of drama that we need to increase the speed of the romantic plot that we need in the show!
So far, Ive been loving this show. Some can say this is just more of the same old high school drama/romance anime, but im more the kind of guy that believes that everything that is well executed deserves recognition, and this show is 100% the case of a well executed drama/romance! I love it!!!

For god sake if natsume wins I'm gonna be very upset, common, does someone likes natsume?, I mean, she is not a bad character, but after souma's arc, it's kind of gross to see how she begin developing feelings for izumi only because she had no chance on souma, and komiya is doing everything in a good way, for real, natsume doesn't deserve to even have a chance on izumi

God damn it i hate love triangles, especially these ones where they actually gave genuine chemistry to both the girls. I would say I prefer Natsume over ena, it feels more fitting with the tone and theme of the series and in general I find unrequited love finally coming true to be really sweet.

That said man people are way too fucking harsh on natsume just cause she liked someone else before. Do you people really think just cause you liked someone else before you are no longer allowed to change those feelings or in her case realize the close friend you've had all this time might be something more. Thats just how relationships work.

Yo Natsume is a fucking bitch!!!!!! Yo she honestly only cared about Souma and then started getting pissy when Mori started to talking to him and Souma didn't notice her.

Then she's going to get jealous that Komiya (best girl BTW) is jumping on him and having fun with him.

Meanwhile Komiya is struggling with her own feelings not knowing what love or liking someone is. However knowing for a fact that Eita likes Natsume, Komiya calls out Natsume to ask permission...FUCKING ASK PERMISSION IF SHE can ask Eita on a date. To which Natsume replies "No you can't." For no fucking reason why other then she's a jealous BITCH!

WORST CHARACTER OF THE YEAR. TRASHIEST OF THEM ALL.


Overall the episode was decent.

Mio's "dame" was fucking perfect. I think it can have two meanings based on context: 1, telling Ena to back off 2, something she said out of desperation, the first thing that came to her mind and she said that out loudly by accident. I'm thinking of the latter. Her whole head is a mess inside because of a sudden crush on Eita, combined with a frustration of the entrance exams... and now this. Kinda like "Can this just stop now?"

So..... its like this
Eita likes natsume, but still thinks she loves haruto
Natsume maybe move on from haruto based on that eraser scene, and still confuse about her feelings to eita
Eina also confuse bout her feelings to eita but still attac

So in the end , based on the title of the show, it will be either eita or natsume will say this ‘just because i love him/her in the past , doesnt mean i still am’

you said natsume had her chance, but not really since izumi didn't really say anything either except being grumpy all the time.
yeah he did help her a couple of times but that's it.
most of the time izumi is just stalking her discreetly. lol

and for natsume not confessing to haruto, IMO she just realize that she didn't really like or love haruto. it's just like she had a crush for stupid reason and keep lingering that fake feeling and mistaken it as for like/love.

but the trigger perhaps because she realize that she didn't have a chance in the first place and decide to confess and get rejected so that she could move on. but in the end she realize that it's not love that she felt. hence she only return the eraser as an "act" of moving on
