This is already one of my favorite animes :(
I'm a bit confused on that teacher that looks like the young kid, even though the young kid is someone else now. ??? That didn't make sense did it? Yeah, I am really confused now.
So glad she stood up to those gardening hoes. I would have done it much meaner and bigger, though. Even though no one else really likes that cute red/orange/yellow/pink haired girl, I think she and the main girl are going to be good friends. Maybe I like this anime so much because it reminds me a little of reality. Too bad that hot guy doesn't exist, though.
Anyway, I'm going to start reading the manga. (this is really huge because I don't read manga.)

I like how Futaba still remembers how Kou smells. That's so cute ahh~ fangirling

The hugging scene was so adorable, I feel butterflies in my stomach just watching it.

I'm glad Futaba was true to herself and got rid of those poisonous friends. How stuck up of them "You don't fit with us." :P Who'd wanna fit in with them anyway? I think Yuuri will be a better friend to her, especially since they're kinda similar.

I love this anime already! This is shoujo done right. It brings me back to Kimi ni Todoke and Sukitte Ii Na Yo :)

Excellent as the first one. And the cast is slowly growing to final five.
Yuuri is cute and it seems Murao had some affair with her teacher.
Anyway, this is great show to watch, one of the best this season.
Somehow it reminds me of Sukitte Inayo though I think Ao Haru Ride has better characters.

Loved the hug scene <3 (and the soundtrack fitted so perfectly ~~)
But after that it seemed kind of rushed (or is it just me?).
Hmm, Yuuri seemed more kind in the manga.

Very nice episode, I like Makita even more now. The hug was sweet too. And the opening suits this anime very well. And I'm still baffled by Yuki Kaji's amazing preformance. I don't really like Futaba's voice to be honest, but I don't particularly dislike it either. 4/5 for me.

Somehow I have the feeling the anime is going to end here:

she's kinda weird to start talking about life all of the sudden to makita :P
and i'd want to see her walk away from kou for once, i liked haru's character more.. (tonari no kaibutsu-kun) they kinda have the same hair xP
i think im really gonna like that kominato (?), the blonde guy

also cannot waaait for the next episodeee, it looks like that Tanaka-sensei is interested in Futabab :3

Wow that hug was pretty powerful tbh, I'm starting to like the show now and the 2 MC's even though Kou is being mean and Futaba is sort of dense. I'm just glad she told off her friends about the wrong things and leave.

So far Yuri is a good character, so I hope they developed well for Futabi and Yuri to be friends. I don't if the show is trying to make me laugh or something, but it felt 100% drama in here instead of the comedy.

Ah well I can't wait to the next episode.

Great, Yuuri's even more annoying in anime form. Also Murao's voice didn't seem like it suited her - I was imagining more of a lower, mature voice.

The cops and robbers scene, Futaba trying to save Kou and Kou saying thank you >.<
Futaba able to speak her mind! She crying and Kou lending his shoulder so others won't see!!! That scene was T.T
Futaba able to break the ice, both party knows that they just don't fit it. Even Asumi was a bit embarrassed but there is respect for their differences!
Futaba wanting to see Kou at the end.

Yuuri is amazeballs. I really like the fact that she and futaba share a similar situation; I'm ecited to see how their friendship develops. I'm also really pleased with the fact that futaba told those jealous "friends" of hers off. They were really starting to annoy me.

Ahh I feel warm and fuzzy after watching this. So good :D

Good job Futaba on ditching the heavy baggage called "fake friends." Murao and Yuuri are way better :p

YES. I'm fully on board now. I liked the first episode but was still wary and a bit lukewarm about it, but this episode definitely had me satisfied. I really liked the atmosphere, and I feel the same sentiments I got from the beginning portion of the manga rushing back to me, meaning they're executing the little emotions and messages here and there pretty well. Good adaptation... I hope they keep it up, because now I'm just really looking forward to seeing the next parts of the story animated.

After feeling the pace from the first two episodes, I'm pretty sure they're not going to get too deep into the drama of the story, which is perfectly fine by me. Now, I actually feel that the beginning portion of the story will work as a pretty good standalone for the anime series.

Looks like they had a moment there.

Im guessing the cutesy girl will start to like Kou in the future too. The blonde guy seems to like the black-haired girl but she has eyes for the sensei.

Although I still dont the think that the im-pretty-no-one-wants-to-be-friend thing is unrealistic. I see this very often in shoujo.

But its a good episode, makes me want to look forward to the next episode.

Good riddance to Futaba's friends. They're jealous b****** anyway and do not really trust or care about her.

That hug tho <3

I wonder if Tanaka-sensei likes Futaba. I hope not.

I thought they would animate Murao as drop dead gorgeous. At least that's what I felt while reading the manga. Well, I can't say I felt that way while she made her entrance. I guess I will get used to it.

I expected Futaba to see Kou speaking/hugging/kissing/fucking another girl in the end of the episode when she went to see him. this happen in every Shoujo anime I've ever seen! dammit!! I was mistaken.
