| Morikawa with her hair down is just <3 Glad to see Mio realizing her true feelings. The awkwardness between Eita and Ena was kinda amusing. |

HikariGo said: I am pretty sure that the university that Mio is going for is the one that Eita got a recommendation for (yep just checked and indeed it is). Not sure how preferences work in the Japanese university entrance system, but surely his recommendation would still be there even if he takes Mio's former choices exam. Recommendation remains irrespective of what University they chose to take exams for. It just increases the options. Likewise, when someone selects, say for example three universities and passes all three of them, it doesn't necessarily mean they have to go to their first choice. They can always choose any of the university they have selected to sit for exams and have passed. Also, since majority are talking about Komiya and Natsume, I think it was a nice touch that Morikawa actually changed a lot compared to the first episode. I am not talking about the hairstyle. Notice how she wouldn't request that Saru-guy to let her pass through the door after the end of school in episode one, where Yoriko had to interfere and make him let her through to this episode where she politely asked him to let her have her seat. |

| uhhhh now it become awkward.. first Eita tried to enter Mio's University choice (which is same with her sister) but now Mio tries to enter Eita's University (which he recommended to) .... this shit can be done if they honest with each other well shit, drama must happen |
| #TeamKomiyaaaaaa |
| Good build up for a dramatic conclusion. Chances don't seem too high for Komiya. |
 |
| I find Komiya's falling in love with Izumi extremely cute and how she has been acting cuter by each passing episode, yet I cannot seem to ship her with Izumi and it's not just because Izumi simply doesn't see her that way. Her new found love for Izumi seems more like a highschooler's first crush, which in fact is the case for her. As for Natsume's case, it seems more like a mature love because she had tasted the bitter taste of one-sided love once. However, she has come in terms with it realizing it was nothing more than a middleschooler's crush and most importantly she has finally noticed the person she ignored for far too long who should have been the dearest to her. And now she is willing to take steps to be with him and making decisions that she wouldn't have made otherwise, the first of which was when she said to Komiya that she wouldn't want her to date Izumi. The second, trying to get into the same University as Izumi even though she knows it's a tall task for her. It's almost a no-brainer as to why Natsume ending up with Izumi would make more sense, but relationships just don't happen out of logical arguments so Komiya still has a chance imho. Anyways, another thing I noticed is Natsume is not as gifted as a student as Izumi, who already got recommendation for such a good university. Notice how Izumi already has fewer mistakes while he is solving the mock quizzes while Natsume is making double the number of mistakes even though she goes to cram school. Difficulties of the two sets of questions aside (since my obvious guess is that Natsume is solving harder sets of questions, because Izumi's recommended University is a better University), Izumi is not even attending any cram school and he didn't have to do the mock quizzes until recently so it goes without saying that he is indeed a very good student to have caught up this fast. |

| "Why didn't you tell me she got a haircut!?" "I wanted to see your reaction." Eita is a boss. Things are getting mixed up now with the University switcheroo. Well that's a bummer. The director is really messing with us now. 3 episodes to go. Don't do anything rash, Pine Jam. One mistake, and this anime will be screwed all over. |
 |
| Damn this is getting interesting. Natsume finally saying she's moved on from her hopeless middle school crush and now liking someone else is a huge step for her. Now she can try and build her relationship with Eita. She even bought chocolates from the convenience store (as evidenced by the bag she had in her lap when she were in the car with her sister). Komiya is getting better and better each episode. She was really cute this time around first getting embarrassed seeing Eita after that pseudo-confession but then ambushing him while he was jogging and giving him something to drink. Their chemistry is really good. I wonder what it means when Eita whispered it's impossible when Komiya said she hoped they would get along like this again. It could mean It's impossible because Eita will soon have to break Komiya's heart when he eventually rejects her for Natsume or it could also mean it's impossible to get along like it has always been because he has developed some faint feelings for Komiya as well. I don't really know whi I should root for this time around. On the one hand I know Komiya is best girl but on the other I also really like Natsume. Whatever happens I'm gonna be happy for the one who wins and at the same time really heartbroken for the one who loses. |

so if im nor mistaken Eita trying to get to Suizan where it was Natsume 1st choice although hes already got recomendation at Joei, while Natsume do the opposite trying go get to Joei although she have more chance got accepted on Suizan? |
linua said: so if im nor mistaken Eita trying to get to Suizan where it was Natsume 1st choice although hes already got recomendation at Joei, while Natsume do the opposite trying go get to Joei although she have more chance got accepted on Suizan? Yep that's pretty much it. |

| the irony on that if both got accepted on their newer choice... -Riptide- said: linua said: so if im nor mistaken Eita trying to get to Suizan where it was Natsume 1st choice although hes already got recomendation at Joei, while Natsume do the opposite trying go get to Joei although she have more chance got accepted on Suizan? Yep that's pretty much it. the irony on that situation if both their "wish" being granted and got accepted on their newer choice... |
| I'm pretty sure that Komiya will learn about Natsume's new choice |
| At this point, the thing that would ruin the show for me is if Natsume or Eita refuse to actually confess their feelings. Even if Eita does choose Komiya, Natsume does need to clear the air. If that doesn't happen then I feel the show wold be incomplete. With the whole college thing that's going on now it may fudge everything up a bit, hell it might push Komiya closer to Eita, but anything can happen. But the air just needs to be cleared for this phase to end and people can get on with their lives. We already know Morikawa is going to respond to Souma at some point and that's fine either way it goes. She does have feelings for him, but I'm fine whether they go out or not. |
| REEEEEE hopefully they'll enter opposite universities and Ena will get into Suizan. |
  ~ |
| ok it was very good episode..pretty cute how both are applying for each other choice |
 |
| Im confused, Natsume first love is Eita and then she moved to Haruto and now realized that she liked Eita all the way. Or she thought she liked Haruto as her first love and now discovered that she never REALLY liked him and really like Eita?? I think a few changes in the translation can make a lot of difference in this episode, someone know exactly what is the right order? |

Mich666 said: Eita_Izumi said: You're not the only one. I like Ena too, but I feel like Natsume should end up with Eita. I for one think that if this series ends with anything else than Eita ending with Ena, it would be distaster. I mean, they have the best chemistry in the show and that's what love should be about - natural conversations with your loved one while having fun, not those awkward situations that only leaves the other one in pain... All the time they are emphasizing their mutual feelings of liking each other (more than with anyone else I guess) and right at this point it would be pretty much weird if he ended with Mio with almost no build-up at all. Also, it would feel as Mio picked him only because she couldn't have Haruto, and I would felt pretty bad for this choice of pity if I was him. So I don't believe this is likely if this story is to be any good. It would be pretty disappointing otherwise. Haruto, on the other way, is poised to work hard in the town and his feelings for Morikawa could end in vain in the end if they separates in the end (as the life goes, it's very possible). That's why she had this sad face after talking to him at baseball grounds, she literally has to chose between him (love) or the university (dreams). Pretty hard choice if you ask me as she will be blaming herself for all her life for not chosing the other. This episode has just shown that she's moved on from Soma. She didn't move on just because she didn't have a chance to, she moved on because she realized that it wasn't love after all. 'All the time they are emphasizing their mutual feelings of liking each other' Now I've got a lot to say against that. In the last few episodes, Eita has barely tried to appreciate her feelings. His mind is already on Mio, and even during the date it was like that. Although they are similar, if one of them doesn't respond it's just not possible. Therefore it's not 'they' but Ena only. Also, even when Eita was being kind to her, it was just as a friend. |

I think a few changes in the translation can make a lot of difference in this episode, can someone help? Natsume liked Soma since middle school. He was her first love. Because of that she never really thought of Eita as a romantic interest. However, Natsume has finally moved on from her middle-school crush and realized it would never develop further than that. Along the she has realized that the guy that was by her side the whole time (helping her with carrying student council stuff, sharing a secret about her liking Soma) is a possible romantic interest and has developed feelings for her. |

So she didn't acknowledge Eita in the past but now she does. Anyway I still have the felling that she did not just developed fellings for him NOW, but she already did it before and stopped (because he moved) and now is letting it grow again. Thank you very much. |
Anathor said: Ena made things awkward for both of them last ep; good that they managed to partly solve that this week. Would be cool if Eita gets accepted to Mio's old choice, then Ena follows him and Mio gets accepted in another uni. Perfect ending. Meanwhile St. Valentine day draws closer. Another perfect ending: Eita and Ena kinda get together, so he cancels the entrance exam to the other uni, but well long distance relationship isn't too easy to maintain, etc. Mio gets in Eita's uni, and then everything goes as it should have been in the first place. :D Anyways at this point I am fine with wichever side wins, I'd still prefer Natsume, but it's OK the other way as well. Other than this:  |

| Morikawa looks better in her new look but still not exactly to my tastes. She as a character just exists, no more no less for me I hate misunderstandings, always. Gonna write it in my profile. FFS, it's freaking me out. I'm reading the novel adaption ending right after. Curiosity has taken the better of me. |
Tacsk0 said: Anathor said: Would be cool if Eita gets accepted to Mio's old choice, then Ena follows him and Mio gets accepted in another uni. Do you recognize that Ena is one year younger compared to the main cast, so she remains in secondary edution as they leave? Furthermore, obversing her antics towards "cram" learning, she has zero chance to enter the kind of high-tier universities Natsume and Izumi are aiming at. Ena will probably shun college for a creative arts career. She could just enter a year later, that wouldn't be the problem. Anyway it wasn't a serious what if, I mean we know from the previews how the anime is going to end, unfortunately. At most they might go with a separate ways ending. |

Izumi is smart but he's also retarded. Willing to give up a better school to chase after low-tier mopey waifu without any guarantee of at least something starting between them lmao. Reality: Goes to worse school, get's average salaryman job, works hard to make waifu happy, mopey low self-esteem princess feels neglected and dejected b/c of husbando overtime. Runs into random guy and or first love Haruto at a 'vulnerable' moment and diddles him. Welcome to a Just Because! season two. I actually quite like your version of the situation and it gives me an idea of the type of person you are IRL but I could be entirely wrong. :) |

| Mio just became more unlikable because she didn't pursue her older sis school...while Eita still studying for that school while Ena is still best girl...lolz Morikawa became more pretty eh... 4/5. |
 |
| Ah, Komiya is an ever-present source of amusement. I am glad that she and Izumi managed to overcome the awkward atmosphere brought about by Komiya's big mouth. As for Izumi, slowly but surely, he and Natsume seem to be moving closer. I hope that a possible case of miscommunication looming on the horizon will not bring about something heartbreaking. Inui deserves an honourable mention as well, she is a true bro (or a sis). |
Neko_96 said: Seiya0890 said: Ena is like a stalker lol. I know many people don't like Mio, but if you rewatch the beginning Ena is the annoying/ stalker character by definition... Though she is less annoying recently. What will happen according to me : the spoiler is from light novel? Note: I still havent read light novel No, just my assumption. |

| Didn't anyone notice Natsume hesitating over the (seemingly identical) drinks again? In one of the first episodes it was a sign of her not making choices. Now she avoids the choice alltogether and picks coffee. Tarotist said: "Why didn't you tell me she got a haircut!?" "I wanted to see your reaction." Eita is a boss. Yet in other ways he's a complete tool. _Kairu_ said: lol, everything is so awkward for everyone now. Which is pretty realistic when you have a group of friends, some of which are in love with eachother (>.<) Jango0o said: SoraSenpai said: And I think I can speak for everyone when I say..."I hope the Bluray fixes this fucking TERRIBLE animation!" Jeah, the animation in this episode was far from good. I keep thinking what Eita had in mind with what he said after Ena departed from the shop. I hope nothing negative. Soma walking around on the baseball field basically looked like an obese version of Stickman. It reminded me of Satou in Speed Grapher, walking around the hotel room. It's like they drew a single frame, then made cutouts of the paper and put pins in his joints to make the animation of him moving. gust0717 said: It was fun watching Ena and Eita becoming awkward and conscious of each other but it was even better to see them come to terms, of sorts. I just hope Ena's expectations don't come crushing down. T_T Also, I kinda felt Natsume's change of heart came very suddenly and out of nowhere. She didn't have a change of heart, she simply decided she'd stick with back-up boy for now,.. da bitch! shanimebib said: Natsume telling Morikawa that she has finally found the person she really likes showed that she has truly moved on from her first love. People can say anything, that doesn't make it true. Tarotist said: Things are getting mixed up now with the University switcheroo. Well that's a bummer. The director is really messing with us now. 3 episodes to go. Don't do anything rash, Pine Jam.

Not sure how preferences work in the Japanese university entrance system, but surely his recommendation would still be there even if he takes Mio's former choices exam. It's a retarded and utterly annoying plot ploy. Note also that if they both end up going to different universities, Izumi would be going to the lesser one, because it was Natsume's first choice. |
| "I'm a middle schooler bartender!" - Mishima Hitomi |
| The characters are just too confused and annoying. with the exception of Komiya, she's cool. I feel like this show is just going to end in disappointment |
| The story progresses, new moments, beautiful and simple moments, I don't know how as a simple scene where two characters exchange drinks can make me so happy... 5/5  Peace. |
 |
| I’m gonna have a fucking seizure is this MC picks Mio over Ena |
 |
| I really hope Eita chooses Ena in the end. I really don't like Mio; her personality is just so depressing and the way she acts is too toxic for a good relationship. The way Eita and End get along is really cute and their personalities mesh well. |
 |
| So Natsume finally sorted out her feelings. Guess best girl Komiya doesn't have a chance now. Now there is going to be a problem with the university choices. Well, both should be able to find out about the other's choice. |
