I really admire Kawamoto family. They're really perfect and the most important thing is they're supporting each other really well...that's just perfect...the best family I've ever seen in the anime.

Episodes as light-hearted like this always succeeds in putting a smile on my face. It's that feel-good factor that adds yet another reason as to why I love this show so much. =)

Thanks to Rei's offering, Hina, Akari and Momo visit Rei's high school, along with his teacher and friends from the club, have fun with the plume noodles and the many reactions were happy and, in Hayashida's case, hilarious. As the girls were eating their food, I started to think that Hina should try to get into Rei's high school when she graduates and, ironically, both Hina and Akari had that same thought.

So the time skip to the new year did surprise me at first, but it showed just how much effort Hina is putting into her exams so that she could go to the same school as Rei does. It's also really mature of her to think about the money needed to get into a private school and naturally worries about her grandpa and how much work he puts into making sweets every day. Seeing him reassure her about her worries, plus her reaction, was emotional. =')

So do your best Hina! I believe in you! ^_^

Hayashida is about around 35 yo, and the manga said he has same age like Shimada and Souya, only maybe his gray hair makes him look really old..
meanwhile Akari is 23, the age gap is far, but not really that bad (12 years old is still reasonable in many places, even my grandpa age is 14 years older than my grandma), i don't support this ship, but if it happens, i won't be bothered by that...

You are partially right, if she was 45 and he was 57 the age may not be the biggest problem, but also you would probably agree that if she was 12 and he was 24 it would be creepy.

They are both adults but I think they are not in the same stage of life, and thats would make the ship completely nonsense. Specially because Akari has so much potential in her life yet.

yeah the reason i don't think it's not as a problem because both of them are grown up adult...
but as you said, Akari still has a lot more time to think about her life, so i think this won't happen soon because in other hand she still needs to take care her little sisters, also that scene looks like just a small tease not more, and even if it happens i hope there will be timeskip where Akari fully grown up into perfect adult women so it will make more sense about her relationship after all...

Not out of character, IMO. Rei begins a paradigm shift at S2 Ep 4 that is continuing at this time. "The beast within" he referred to in S1(the one that enables him to survive) is transferring over to aid the Kawamotos, particularly Hina. The spoiler you mentioned (Come on, Season 3!!!) is just another part of that protection instinct.

Akari - The Ultimate Waifu, that all waifus of the past, present, and future, are measured against, and come up short......

Aw what a sweet episode :3 The first half with the club was really fun, and man, Hayashida's reaction to Akari was awesome ... but yes, she's the best <3 I wasn't expecting that time skip to suddenly the next year and Hina studying, but her wanting to go to Rei's school makes sense after seeing that. That scene with her and her grandpa was really sweet :') Hina really does think about everything huh. Well if she gets in then I think Rei would be in 3rd year, so it's nice that he's being so supportive. Also "pampered noodles" ... omg, those look so good. Akari where were you during my late night study sessions?! T_T Can't believe there's only 2 episodes left ... omg D:

Very good heart-warming relax episode!
Nice! Hina is studying very hard because she wants to go to Kiriyama's school! Why Not!? that's a very good proposition! That's a very great solution for the unsolvable bullying!
very Hilarious scene wherein Hayashida-sensei is bespectacled to Akari! He's showing way too much blushing! super red! hahah!
The catching the soumen noodles is too fast for Momo and even for Hina lolz!
I'm worst at trigonometric math problems!
lol Kiriyama's so Hyped-up as soon as he heard that Hina plans to enter Kiriyama's school!
Granpa's wisdom words are pure excellency! it was touching as well as lot of values!
5/5.

Hayashida was a like a red tomato after he saw Akari, I laughed so hard at that scene, my favorite part was Hinata's talk with her Grandpa it was really heartwarming.

We got a nice and light episode, which was a great break from all of the serious drama we've been getting (which I enjoy just as much as these, it is this show's ability to go back and forth flawlessly that makes me enjoy it so much).

STOP IT WITH THE DESSERTS. I can't keep getting this hungry at 2 AM... It makes sense that with all of the bullying drama homeroom would fall behind. I didn't realize any important curriculum was taught in homeroom in the first place, though. Not how it was at my high school. Flashback to Rei acknowledging that he never really wanted to be a pro shogi player in the first place. I honestly thought it would be a Saturday shogi club meeting with all of the teachers, but this is even better! We haven't seen Eisaku in a while. I missed him. Hayashida's reaction to first seeing Hina was hilarious. I don't think Hayashida realizes that Rei hasn't even remotely begun to view Hina that way (although it's probably only a matter of time). The two are more like close siblings than anything else. Hayashida's reaction to Akari was even better. The way he froze up was brilliant. Poor Momo can't react fast enough. You'll get there eventually. I enjoyed seeing Eisaku have this super dramatic buildup to something boring and plain. Hayashida just wants some chicken tempura, dudes. Cut him some slack. Hina wants to go to Rei's school! Was I the only one SUPER thrown off by the show just skipping ahead six months? Yes? Okay. Geometry fucking sucks, I understand Hina. Of course Rei is good at math. That only makes sense. Rei getting happy about Hina expressing interest to go to his school was adorable. Him coming up with a study plan was hilarious. How is everyone in the Kawamoto household not "fluffy"? The meals Akari makes have to be full of calories. They do look good though... Good guy Someji. You're a great grandfather. The value of money is an important lesson to learn from a young age, but that doesn't mean the children should have to bear the burden. I didn't realize Rei's school was so good.

Only two more episodes left. I don't want it to end D:

I don't really understand nagashi somen.. But maybe when you're used to it, and in your country it's usual thing - maybe it's fun time to catch those noodles.. Well, I mean, if you grew in area, where others were doing it, and having fun, then you grow to perceive it as fun too..
Hm.. So much time has passed.. First half - is summer break.. And now we're on New Year..
Well, if Hinata would succeed in entering Rei's school.. It'd be last year for Rei then, when first year for Hinata?.. Right?.. Well, spending year together could be nice.. Though, either way they can continue to be friends even without that year in same school, if anything.. I hope they'll continue to be either way.. But it's for them to decide..
I don't know, how they'll finish season.. But I hope it won't be with some random drama hitting randomly, which would be unsolved.. I don't know, how they'll finish the season, really.. Maybe Hinata holding exams and stuff indeed could take last 2 episodes.. But will see..
I also wonder, if still after this at least year.. Or how long it's been.. If Gotou's wife is still in a coma.. And how things are going for Kyouko..
