I feel pretty bad for Sana. I really like her as a character but she's just awful at expressing her feelings, so chances are slim she'll be the one but damn, dat photo in the preview! Is she going to try and seduce him now? I know it's working for me! hnnngggg. xP



The collapse in the end was pretty over dramatic, but that's usually the case when someone gets "a cold". I'm wondering what the end's going to be like. Current events hint at Miu, but most of the past ones involved Airi. Then there's always the chance it'll be a harem ending of course. We'll see.

Airi end would be forced because we have not gone through the remainder of her scenario. in the VN, everything we've seen that relates to Airi is a precursor to Shingo's relationship choice. the student council pairing, meeting at the grocery store, and even Airi's birthday are required in order for Shingo to get to know the rest of the cast. it is included in every girl's scenario, which is why Airi gets the role of default ending unless the player chooses otherwise.

so on the surface it seems like we've seen most of Airi's arc, but in the source material there's actually quite a bit more: you get to see more of why Airi has a tsundere-like exposition, her relationship with her mother the Principal, and some other things that are completely limited to her own arc.

Sorry to say but this isn't true, the first four episodes are the common route but after that it has not followed any single route. Ange's route was 5/6, Airi had a refocus in 6 which is directly from her route, 7/8/9 seem to be shaping into the VN's Sana/Miu route since they are tied at the hip, and whatever is left might either focus on Sakuno or it will be return to the one character that has been in the moving in and out of the focus of this story since the beginning: Airi.

We're either looking at Harem, Airi, or some fairly abrupt Miu ending. Do not look at this show with what you know from the VN because the VN stopped applying when we moved from one route to the next to the next, something you cannot do in the game. You need to also think about the people who watch this without playing the VN, who has been the main focus of the show from their point of view? Airi.

Lolwhut? Tsunderes or some other kind of uber-bitch girl end up winning 90% of the time in harem anime. Quite frankly I'm tired of all these chivalrous and/or lame-ass male leads who just put up with the crap from these bitches. What the harem genre needs are badass alpha male leads who can properly control the girls and more wifey material girls like Miu and Ange as main heroines.

You need to also think about the people who watch this without playing the VN, who has been the main focus of the show from their point of view? Airi.


the point I was illustrating is that if it's going to end up with an Airi ending, then they still have more content from the VN to cover in order to get there in the first place. it doesn't matter whether or not what route they follow, or if the show can drop one arc and move to the next. the show is able to diverge from all of that and do all scenario arcs, but because we are rapidly approaching the end of the series, it's becoming a problem. a clear relationship has still not yet been established, and the content to be covered still remains rather large.

we haven't seen much of Sakuno at all, but if there's only 4 episodes left and they want to cover every possible arc then it's going to be quite a stretch. i think Manglobe can make it happen with an acceptable ending, but I think this problem would be solved in the first place if more episodes were allotted to this series.

anyways, here's me hoping for an Airi end.

This show is almost certainly going to harem as Sakuno's story hasn't gone anywhere and it would be rather odd for them to entirely skip over one of the VNs main characters. They even gave Ange an episode or so, and that was a complete waste of time. So Miu's arc will probably conclude next episode or so, then we'll go into Sakuno for an episode and a half, and finally be at about 1~2 episodes left over.

What will they be for? We'll have to wait and see. Maybe they will keep going with Miu, or they might go back to Airi, or they might troll everyone and wincest.

Poor Sana and Airi. Their sad looks made me sad too especially when Sana was yelling at the kitty. The way these last couple episodes has been going seems to point toward Miu, I really hope it doesn't continue that way. Airi has been like forgotten since the first few episode and Sana can't express her feelings plus Miu just outweighs her atm. Praying for an Airi or Sana end, I just love both of them and right now its sad they are just on the outside looking.

Shingo makes me wanna punch his face cause he doesn't realize how the girls feel.

Those marks on Miu's hand just looks so weird, makes me think its like manly hands.

Shingo should end up with Miu, not that he deserves her 'cause he's plain boring, but Miu is the best girl imo. ^o^

And I wonder why Sena couldn't keep the cats, I was thinking maybe she could be allergic, but since she spent so many time with the cats and nothing happened.. I don't know.

hmm...I think Mius ending is more likely now unless Shingo made some HORRIBLE choices along the line. Also kawaii neko overload :D also I find it funny that the responded to the names Shingo and Miu...I think that was coicindence but then again this is anime and that means Miu and Shingo are meant to be :D (because the cats meowed)

Miu's ending will be a nice change. Not that I don't like Airi , I just bored off "Main girl win" rule. Currently, there are three VN adaption animes (that I watched) that don't go for main girl ending. I hope this one become the forth.

What is with all this Miu love? For me out of Airi, Sana and Miu she is my least favourite and i dont suddenly need this lame possible Miu end.
Some of you say an Airi end would be forced but for like half the anime it was all about Airi she was main focus and even had the bath scene with him recently. So to me i dont get why Shingo's focus got switched onto Miu that in itself to me seems forced


It isn't forced at all. He has been showing his interest in Miu since the first ep and every ep. after that.

Boring? Why are you saying it's boring?

Well, I have seen such a drama before but I have always think Miu is so moe.
Miu is a kind person, can't believe I miss watching this episode early, I kind of had a feeling of I missed something these past days.

Usually it's always the first girl end up happening but not really sure of that becuase not enough of character development.
Shingo actually did have some kind of feeling for Miu but he hasn't realize what it is yet.

I still think it's a bit early to call any character-oriented ending. After all, Sakuno has yet to receieve a full-fleshed arc of her own, assuming the "trend" carries on.

Personally, I'm kind of disappointed over how badly Airi's being shafted, seeing as how adaptations of previous series' in the same genre managed to (somewhat) give every character some degree of development whilst managing to keep the main heroine in focus; granted, different studio(s) and all, but still. If they're going to go through with an Airi Ending, they sure as heck did not do a very good job at overall character development.

Airi needs more screentime, but it looks to be Sana+Miu-based for the next episode, and probably Sakuno-based for the last few or so. Despite my previous critique, I'm really hoping they can juggle it all effectively somehow.
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder?

rather boring again, he seems not very interested in either of them besides as friends.

still think it's rather obvious Airi ending. Sana is interested, but neither is making a move. it's just buying time until the forced Airi end. Sana would be the most logical. I liked Miu, they aren't really clicking as anything more than friends though.

Well, Another episode and I still have a Shuffle Vibe. If the character who 'most needs' someone to take care of them, ala Clannad, Shuffle! plays in here, then it would be Miu. But heck, They got me liking Sana now, and I think Sana would be a great pair for him.

The other thing, that I think we should factor into is this. Both Miu and SHingo say they are at peace. Why? Because they haven't had confrontation, they are 'Safe'. Safe people make great life long friends, but rarely become the romantic partner because the conflict isn't there.


I'm voting that either Sana or Airi end up with Shingo in the end right now, because while Miu will appreciate what Shingo has done, they are really too much alike in some ways, and I think Miu maybe was trying to set Sana up with Shingo for some reason. No idea why.

I quite LIKE how Sana asked Miu and Uryuu how they feel about each other, and how Uryuu feel about Sana "herself". Very sweet and also cute love development with the cat/Pannya scene, romance talk scene, and Miu work scene .....and NOT boring at all.....sheesh people I find it very lovely :3 10/5!!!

A bit too much drama over nothing. Why not accept help from your friends? It's not like they won't take care of those kitties. I think Miu tries a bit too hard. Sana is really heating up for the MC.

Her wanting other kitten to respond to her name was very touching and a bit sad. Unique moment nevertheless. But she is so far the most aggressive one. She directly asked Shingo what he thinks of her.

Naming cat after Shingo, lol.. ;D Honestly, I wouldn't like for my pet to have name like me.. Well, it's not his pet, though, but still..
Two people of same color next, hm.. Well, I wonder.. Like, if remembering this episode's how Sana reacted to Shingo and Miu thinking same thing about each other.. "I'm more relaxed with her/him".. Hm.. So this anime thinks that it's good for lovers to have same feelings about each other?.. It's not necessary, though, I think.. As well as it's unclear if relaxed state, is what both Shingo and Miu are looking for in lover as well.. Like, it can just be "I feel relaxed.. Just like with little brother.." Or something.. .. In the end, I guess, this also can work out, just that for now it isn't clear, I'd think..
