ANd here I thought Sawako was wierd, is it me or Ryu's brother looks like Kaze-kun


Nope, you're not the only one. Nearly identical except for the hair color and that he always seemed to have a girlfriend in tow.

I thought the episode was fine. Just a necessary step. For Sawako to be useless in this situation was to be expected, but Yano was a bit surprising. In hindsight, Ryu probably should've told Chizu about the fiancee, but it was clear that by telling her to stay away from his house, he was trying to protect her (even if it was only delaying the inevitable heartbreak). No more Yano x Joe talk please. Even if it's to say "NO", let's not even acknowledge the possibility of that ever happening. LOL.

I didn't like this episode. Nothing really happened, and when this is the case, I just start stewing in all the constants: Sawako being too sweet at an almost retarded level; Shota saying dumb things that contradict what he's seen, heard, and said; Ryu being filthy hot; and art inconsistencies (Ryu look so different from one scene to the next).

Since it was obvious from last week that Ryu's brother was engaged, I was really hoping they'd move on to the next thing. Since we don't have Kurumi or Ayane being compelling with their dialogue, there's just no reason to sink into watching Sawako watch Chizu put on some pants, or have Shota ride a bike and say, "I guess he likes her."
usually i like sawako, but the crying scene bugged me … yeah, sure she was bummed about chizu, but it seemed like she was more hung up on her own ineptitude at friendship. "i just didn’t know what to say … what are friends supposed t o say at a time like this”, blah blah blah … get over yourself, sawako! if it really bothers you that much, then do something. the sawako we know and love is all about clearing up misunderstandings, right?

...but still i liked the show. i hope we get to see chizu and ryuu hook up before the end...

I'm actually kind of for Joe x Yano, it would be a hoot.

Sad episode, just how sad can we make Chizuru pretty much.

No I am being serious! D: Why? I married her as a anime character and logically it's the most love you can express towards a anime character other than #2 being claiming. There are many people who married other anime characters for different reasons.

Now would have either been epic or Tooru would hate her forever.

I can understand how the art may bother people yet, personally, the art didn't really bother me at all. Overall quality was still pretty good compared to some animes.
However, going through the posts some scenes seem very pointless. Normally i am okay with some moderate filler stuff, but this arc is going to have to end soon. Might have a rushed ending.

And what exactly the misunderstand you are talking about? There is no misunderstand in here and specially this is not her own problem but her friend's problem. It is not like she can just go ahead and tell Chizu to forget about Tooru and start everything all over again with Ryu. Even Sawako herself just learn about how it feels to love a person.

sawako told yano that felt really bad for chizu, but she didn't say anything to chizu about it..... when you don't tell your friends how you feel, that can cause misunderstandings.... sawako usually doesn't have a problem saying what she thinks. that's all.
i just thought that scene was overdramatic.

I don't really see by saying something random to Chizu will make situation better. I agree that Sawako is the type that saying what she thinks but she doesn't always say something without thinking either. Wasn't this the problem in the rumor arc which she didn't say what was on her mind at the beginning? I think she did try hard but just don't know what/how to say to Chizu only to end up upsetting herself instead for being useless as a friend. Was it overdramatic? Yes it was but I didn't think it was wrong either.

3/5 for me

I do however want Chizu and Ryu together. It's full of win.

Nice, so many "Owned" moments in this episode. I kinda liked this one although not the best because it didn't focus on Sawako and Kazehaya. I wonder when will they focus on Kazehaya and Sawako when there's only 4 episodes left.

Okay so first "owned" moment was when Ryu was about to tell it to Chizu but suddenly Tohru showed up, lolol Ryu got owned. Second "owned" moment was when Chizu thought that she can only hog Tohru only for herself but moments later, this new girl showed up claiming to be the fiance of Tohru, lolol Chizu got owned. Don't worry man, Ryu's still there.

ALSO, WHAT THE FUCK? TOHRU'S APPEARANCE AND RYU'S ARE LIKE OFF THE CHART. They're brothers? More like the parents got one of them in an orphanage. HE LOOKED LIKE KAZEHAYA, LOL.

I quite liked the episode. I was kind of 'meh' about the fact that the strongest female in the series biggest ambition was only to get married, but I thought about it more and it's not as bad as it originally sounded, I guess. Kimi ni Todoke played that better than most anime series would be able to, and Chizu definitely has more ambition then that. ^_^ Other than that, I'm still rooting for ChizuxRyuu.

RYU'S BRO IS HOTT.
Had a lot of good laughs during the first part, then I felt so bad for Chizu. When Sawako started to cry I got those goosebumps and teary eyed. I'm glad Ryu is there so he can be Chizu's hunksickle.

I still want to her in a skirt too though, btw.

Yes he definitely is. :D He looks similar to Kazehaya, only with brown hair.

The episode was so sad, almost felt like crying. It was obviously that this was gonna happen, but still very sad. It was a total shock for Chizu.

I hope Ryuu will confess in the next episode...

Well, the irony of this is not lost on me for a moment. The crybaby tomboy maturely handling this situation. It was a series of awkward moments. One after another. Now it is just a matter of how are Chizuru & Ryuu gonna get together. In true shoujo fashion, it will probably take some alone time & a good heart to heart convo. In the background, the feelings between Shouta & Sawako are growing and they're coming to grips with how they really feel. Last episode it was Sawako, this episode Shouta seems to fully understand.

Haha, maybe I'm just short-sighted but I completely did not see the whole thing with Tohru already having a girlfriend... But it brought a good amount of drama in. I think it also made it pretty clear that Chizu can be emotionally strong too, not just physically... I'm sure she's crushed inside but she did a good job of not bawling her eyes out to Sawako and Yano and just not crying at all. Don't think I could have put on a happy face after a moment like that. It felt like such a sad episode. D:

The flashback WAS cute though. Gawd, I used to catch bugs, toads, geckoes, and other lizards when I was a little girl too. XD

And also, the scene where Tohru's GF came in and Chizuru's not reacting well...

Predictable, yes, but it managed to stole my heart as if it were something I haven’t seen in my life.

I knew Tooru had a girlfriend and would somehow come before time.

Still: Chizu ;_____; When she left the mini-skirt in the wardrobe my heart stung a bit. Ryuu! You have to console her and begin the wonderful Ryuu x Chizu relationship I want.

I just can’t help but think Tooru looks as if he were Kazehaya’s older brother and not Ryuu’s.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.
