That was a great episode, even made me tear up a little bit.
Loved Kaori's mom, she was really adorable and kindhearted.

"I forgot where your room is too." LMAO! Laughed so hard at that. Saki's so awesome. And now I know why I can't help but think of Yuyushiki when watching this. Same VA for Saki and Yuzuko...and Saki is Yuzuko on depressants XD! The white border thingys add to the Yuyushiki vibe as well :p

I know it's tongue-in-cheek but for once I'd like to see an MC that's bad at a subject other than math.

Is it just me was that Makoto x Gou (Free!) doujinshi, Saki was holding?

Saki is too cute! "I forget the room, too!" xD

Such a loving mother, Kaori has.

Great episode once again.

The thought of being forgotten by someone who spent countless memories with me.. This anime makes me think, it makes me cherish the life I have now, and the friends within it. Isshuukan Friends really touches my heart. ^^

Again, the moment with Kiryuu wasn't as heart warming as in the manga, but not bad I suppose. I'm okay with the amount of content switching they've been doing, so long as we get to see the events of their second study session in a couple of episodes.
IKR Kiryuu was cooler and the atmosphere was better in the manga. Tbh it was abit awkward in the anime.

I like when a show can prompt you to think about and feel things from things that aren't explicitly stated. For example, I started tearing up when I saw how flustered/happy Kaori's mom got when Kaori brought home her friends. When thinking about Kaori's situation, you could imagine why that would make her mom so happy. Imagine being worried about your daughter not being able to make friends (for whatever reason), and then she slowly starts smiling more, her attitude gradually becomes brighter, she starts talking about people in her class, and then eventually she actually brings friends over. There is so much understated, but very powerful emotion in that moment, if you ask me.

Also, I'm glad we got a small look into Kaori's past through her mother. I suspected that her memory loss is not necessarily due to some physically traumatic injury, but also possibly some emotionally-scarring event. This episode sort of confirms that. Curious to see where this will go.

This was a very important, and good, episode. There was also a lot of sugar and fluff, as per usual... so many diabetes... all of the diabetes.

Another great episode!

Saki was in top form again with her cute and funny moments, and Kaori leaning her head on her poster was a really nice touch too.

Hopefully they can keep this momentum going for the second half of the series. =D

Really like Saki and Shougo. Plus, Kaori's mom seems to be very nice.

Anyway this continues to be so cute. The feels are off the charts.

5/5

Episode pleasant, strangely I do not understand why I perceive a faint sense of danger, perhaps the narrative is not completely relaxed to give me this perception.
Sweet and pleasant during the narrative questions concerning the talk about friendship, not bad the fact that the plot resumes into account the relationship between outstanding Shougo and Kaori.
Less intriguing revelations of the mother Fujimiya, I thought it would be a nice twist ... oh well!
Nice designs and scenarios.
I wonder who is the friend of so important kaori, with which he was seeing ... I'm curious!

wow, I didn't expect THAT much saki's love here. There are people who really hate her (and her seiyuu). It's like a "fake cuteness" for some people. For me, I really find hard to believe the "introduction" in episode 5, not much love or hate all around, but the reality is... I can't stop sense that it'd be a better show only with hase, kaori and kiryuu in the main.

I don't think that'll ever happen.

Hase is starting to become annoying. I wish he'd stop denying his feeling for Kaori.

This show took a severe nose dive.

The characters all act like 5 year olds, constantly narrate what they are doing/what they just did with each other in an obnoxious overexplination of every fucking scene, Hase overreacts and gasps to ever line of dialogue like a social illiterate weirdo, Saki acts like a retard, the blond guy is emotionless and boring, and Kaori is boring too.

As I keep watching, I keep getting more and more disappointed.

For a show about friends, the main character has some pretty lousy relationships. I mean, are him and the blond guy even friends? He always seems reluctant and begrudging to even hang out with MC. And what was with that scene where he gave him money? "I don't consider this as borrowed" (i.e., this isn't a loan; I'm keeping this money) "Bla bla thank you for always listening to my problems". ... umm.. so is that implying that he's like, paying him to sit there and listen to him talk? Some sort of weird friendship prostitution?

I just keep getting weird vibes from how everything tries to be OH SO INNOCENT AND KAWAII. It comes off as forced and unrealistic, and just overall bad writing.

I hope it picks back up, I don't really want to drop this.

Figured something this specific had to be more related to her past than her cognitive ability.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it could be connected to Shougo? It's probably wrong, but he seems like the type of guy who would wait for her to come around rather than push her to remember something from back then.

Other than that, this episode was really cute. Fujimiya's mom is so sweet. <3

Kaori's amnesia was caused by one of her old friends, I hope Hase will find her old friend and solve the problem in that way.

32 is a pass? How the hell do Japanese kids have so much pressure to pass then?


Depends on what the pass mark is set at. I can remember friends who passed a biochem final with 16% because of how hard the test was. I think the other factor is that entrance exams are the gatekeeper mechanism in Japanese education, rather than final exams. The pressure is on to do well on the entrance exams so you can get into a good high school or university. But 32 still seems to be low...

And it seems to me that just about everyone else knows that Hase and Fujimiya are more than just friends, except Hase and Fujimiya.



Well it also depends on how the test was set. Sometimes my teacher would give tests set at 50 questions, the passing grade would be around 32 correctly answered questions. If it was 32/100, then yea that is a low grade.


I was expecting Kaori to have suffered an accident, much less a car accident. I was expecting something around the being bullied scenario and her friend saw she was getting bullied but decided not to help. Kaori is left traumatized and ends up closing herself from possible friends.

It seems like Hase has been on the 3rd wheel spot ever since Saki showed up. Speaking of Saki, hilarious how she made herself at home and started to grab things from Kaori's room lol.

I was so worried the mom would start some drama and be like "stay away from my daughter" when they met in the park... happy it didn't turn out that way :) What a sweet and supportive mom! Now that Hase knows a little more about Fujimiya's past maybe he can start to work through that with her.

Cute episode. Glad we learnt more about what happened to Kaori. Seems something happened in between her leaving and getting hit by the car. An argument? A betrayal? Definitely something that really hurt her and has something to do with that friend. Looking forward to learning more.

Such a nice mom though, and I like how she teases Hase-kun about her (correct) guess that he likes her.

I never tried melon pan myself.. But it looks tasty.. But maybe it's just look.. As I don't know how good of a combination is bread with melon..
And Saki is the movement force, who makes Kaori's situation develop.. ;P Well, some others are too, just that I like how Saki can make a big push sometimes..

Episode 6 " Mothers of Friends"
Milfs are the BESTTT
but it seems like Fujimiya still doesn't understand that Kiryuu and her are already Friends, it's smthng like "go with the flow" type of Friendship but I'm glad that they now Acknowledge they are friends
Fujimiya's Mom gave Hase-kun a letter "After School tomorrow please come to the park I need to speak with you" Damn wth is wrong with my mind....
but Fujimiya's mom teasing hase-kun is so hilarious lol that's why Anime mom's are the best although Mom's like kayo's mom (from Erased) are an Exception, Those are bad Mom's but they have some Backstory so we kinda forgave them JUST KINDA
also, they gave us sum Background story for Fujimiya and that's noicee but we still have some missing piece
and Hase-kun spoke to Fujimiya in the classroom which is a huge stepforward

I kinda don't understand what the next episode will be but there's some kind of PE class scene.... Episode 7 "Friends that say "ah" Friends that say "whew"
