I'm torn between whether Natsume did the right thing or not.

Putting that aside, I think it's weird that the boy didn't hear about this accident at least. The distance between the two schools can't be that big. And it's not exactly an everyday thing either.

That was quite tearful, however, I can't understand why they completely forgot about Tokairin. The second season team did a good job with the character and now it's like he doesn't even exist, that has been bothering me through all this season. Nakajima's family and company have also "disappeared", ngh...

Yeah I noticed that after watching several episodes... I was surprised how they didn't bring those characters back into this series but they brought back strikeman and the crazy scooter lady....

a rare sad episode in this series

someone tell if this series also adapted the stories of the manga? or if it's new to television?

Depends on what they said about it and how it was reported. Not to mention the fact that it was most likely reported as a tragic accident involving a high school girl. people that age typically don't read newspapers and it's questionable whether or not something like that would have made the news channel in a city as big as Tokyo.

Still, I think they did the right thing by not telling him, sometimes I think it's better to know but, at the same time, gaining that feeling that if only you'd done something sooner or before, that somehow... that's when you can fall into a deep spiraling depression you can never get out of for some people.

Awesome episode, though wish they replaced Yoriko with Saori.

That's possible. I applied my way of consuming/checking news to the boy's - they're likely to be very different.

One of the saddest episodes of any anime series I've ever seen :'(

Personally, I would've wanted to know and therefore would've told the boy. Even though it might've been depressing he can have closure that their feelings were mutual.

Wow surprisingly deep & really poignant episode after some fairly lighthearted narratives in recent episodes.
