| Great episode. Futaba is sure struggling about her feelings for Kou and her friendship with Yuri. I know you can say it to her. Kou popping out of nowhere is hilarious. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| I know it has to hard for Futaba to tell Yuuri how she feels about Kou that's a realistic situation if you ask me. Hopefully Kou really does love Futaba and not playing tricks on her. |
 |
| Favourite part of the episode was Futaba coming to terms with herself. Those inner monologues, can't ever get sick of them it is being used to develop her character like that. To watch her grow as she reflect on whether or not to break the news to Yuuri is criminally intense. Tough dilemma for Futaba to be in. Especially of someone who has a past of having close friends that distanced themselves from her. Safe to say this show is heading into a promisingly good direction |
 |
| Oh gosh the moment in the train almost kiss Ahhhhhhh Futaba realizing her feelings for Kou My gosh the Kou x Futaba moments are so cute The shampoo,the change of the shampoo If it smelled nice to him why change it?! |
 |
| Things are starting to get complicated but I'm pretty sure that she won't lose Yuuri. |
 |
| It was an okay episode |
| Forgot to watch this episode yesterday... Maybe my initial excitement is wearing off. But anyways, that moment where Kou and Futaba mutually freaked out when he jumped out the window was hilarious. My memory is probably just really fuzzy, but I don't remember the shampoo parts from the manga. Those scenes were adorable anyways. Regarding the whole "I like the same person as my friend" conflict, it's kind of tiring and extremely uninteresting, but I guess the execution of it is tolerable. I still really like Futaba's internal dialogues, even if they sometimes make no sense. Oh well, after Futaba tells Yuuri, we'll get it over with. The preview for next episode though... YES I'm so excited. |
| HNNNNNNNNNNG. 3cute5me. Enjoying this show to the fullest right now. That QUALITY in the preview though, what the hell? http://i.imgur.com/2yVgsxf.jpg |

| Just kiss!!! It's not so hard, i can't wait anymore :c . |

| From the preview: What the fuck? Kou is a fan of Terry Bradshaw? (I will be so happy if someone gets that.) |
| oh my gosh, I'm going to cry oceans with this anime... It was a beautiful episode. Even thou we didn't move forward with futaba's and kou's relationship, I really enjoyed watching an episode that revolved around futaba's and makita's friendship. The part with the old friend took a little too long in my opinion... I remember thinking "okkay okkay, we are like almost halfway there just finish this scene quick so I can have more development...." aaah the problems of having 20ish minute episodes.. there is never enough :'( I cannot wait for the next episode! Preview makes it seem like Kou is going to kiss Futaba c: ! can't wait for that scene if that's the case or not! |
 |
| She might lose a precious friend. That statement was a striking one. Anyway, She still hasn't told Yuuri that they both like the same guy. Next episode might be her opportunity to finally say it. |
| Awwww, Kou managed to go around that indirect kiss and started choking XD. Futaba's shampoo is attractive :3 Good decision to tell Yuri that you also like Kou. Being betrayed by the one person she had thought was on her side... poor Futaba T.T Oh c'mon, I don't think Yuuri will end up hating Futaba for telling her the truth. LOL, they both got scared XD. At last the time to tell Yuuri the truth has come. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Can someone hipnotize Futaba or something and make her forget that Yuuri is in love with Kou. She literally can't speak ten seconds without mentioning Yuuri AT LEAST 5 times. Also the very very last second of the preview, with Kou bending......... UGH. |

She literally can't speak ten seconds without mentioning Yuuri AT LEAST 5 times. thats how much she values her friendship with yuuri ^^ i also think yuuri feels the same way about futaba it would shock me if they stopped being friends just cause of kou. yuuri should know its only a crush and after talking to futaba she'll know futaba actually loves him |
[right] |
| Tell her damnit! Also, Yumi, you had a terrible timing you know. Couldn't you have stayed home just for that night? I don't see how it could turn out so bad their relationship. I know it's a shitty situation, especially since she told Yuuri that she didn't loved him and so suddenly coming back can be seen has cowardice, but Yuuri is just so pure, I can't imagine her mad (well, I admit that she was mad when Kominato took her muffin and it was hilarious). Kou don't know how to tell jokes. But he sure knows how to be attractive. We could also say that someone who fail to tell a joke is in some ways funny too, unintentionaly. Some supwer sweet and natural moment in this episode again. That show really know how to make sweet moment subtle in term of devellopment. I like it more when it's slow than when it look like the two mains had a sudden revelation that they loved each other. |

| Just tell Yuuri already! gahd ._. |
 |
| Read the manga, so no surprises. I loved the indirect-almost-kiss situation. It was cause she stared too hard that he noticed and thought she minded it, when she probably was hoping he'd put his mouth on the bottle. The shampoo scene just goes to show how much Kou still notices Futaba, funny thing is her brain is too messed up to notice this point. Having Yumi come back was sorta shounen-ish, I agree. It was just a scene to push the plot forward for the present-day situation with Yuuri, no more no less. If I remember things correctly, you're all gonna love the next episode XD |

| Good episode. Some of it seems a bit trivial, but this anime does a good job of making the littlest things seem important |

Especially of someone who has a past of having close friends that distanced themselves from her. Safe to say this show is heading into a promisingly good direction I also like how self-aware Futaba is. I know it took her a while to realize her feelings of love, but generally she does a pretty good job identifying her feelings and actions either while she's doing it, or very shortly after. Unfortunately, she's also a somewhat cowardly so she has a hard time letting others around her know about these feelings. |
| Good episode. Also agree with people that Futaba's character is done really well, with all those inner monologues and self realization.

| God, why Futaba has such bad luck with friends? Seriously, all of them are so immature. Now I am even more glad she finally found some true friends. Can't blame Futaba for over-thinking, she didn't have the best past. |
 |
| Come on Futaba, don't do the same thing Yumi did to you. Yuuri is an angel, innocent, honest, and caring person. She's too precious for Futaba to ignore. I honestly think Yuuri will be able to understand Futaba if she just tells her that she likes Kou. It worse if Yuuri sees Futaba with Kou smooching or acting lovey dovey when she had told her a while back that she had no feelings for Kou. Kou x Futaba part was hilarious. I liked how Kou has his hand on Futaba's head the entire time, sort of wanted to see him pet her too just to make Futaba looked more cute. |
 |
| Futaba is a very selfless person; I like that. But the way she shrugged off Yumi was kind of cold. This entire episode was pretty much internal monologue of, "Do I or do I not tell Yuuri?" Still, it was good. I like the humor to the series. It's not overblown and haphazard like a lot of these slice of life are... it's more restrained and, because of that, more entertaining. Plus, Futaba is really cute. But man, did she have to spend an entire episode struggling with this self-conflict? |

| It seems that maybe next episode we'll have more to the character of Marui? even though I guess some unexpected speech of encouragement and then back to nowhere until the show will end. I hope that's not the case, but. Futaba finally took (maybe) the decision of telling the truth. Don't know how it'll turn out, but I'm expecting some drama. No way Yuuri will smile and then friends like before. She doesn't know the story between Kou and Futaba, so she will suffer. |
| This episode was boring. I mean, Fuutaba and her feelings. She thinks it too much: Say or not say to my precious friend? |
| Futaba and Yumi didn't even exchange phone numbers, that was really sad. |
  |
| Dramatic episode! |
| Better episode. Futaba's present dilema is mirroring her past with the former friend. Kou was more tolerable and the music worked well here. This is packing more physical tension than most stuff out there. The problem is his chivalry awkwardly contradicts his standoffish demeanor. Maybe there's a reason... |
| Just tell her already, dammit!! Meritas said: Yeah ... I guess Yumi still think Futaba is mad at her.Futaba and Yumi didn't even exchange phone numbers, that was really sad. |
 |
| I think they should give some more screentime for Murao. I hope they don't wait till the last episode to finally give her some attention. |
| this ep sucked |

| I'm glad she decided to talk to Yuuri instead of dragging it out some more. I'm interested to see where this leads :) |
| Futaba is over thinking it. It's not her fault and you can't decide whether you'll fall in love with someone or not.... |
Domyoji said: Futaba is over thinking it. It's not her fault and you can't decide whether you'll fall in love with someone or not.... That's true. On the other side I can really understand how she feels. It's hard because you don't hurt your best friend and then you think to much about it. Almost innn...direct kiss? :D I curious for the next episode! |
 |
| Such a lovely vibe I'm getting from this anime, I just love it! |
 |
| If you feel like you'll lose a precious friend then come clean and she'll understand that's the kind of girl Yuuri is ... |
 |
| All the "I'm going to say true things and then pretend it was a joke" game strong between Kou and Futaba. I wish they could be honest and admit they want to be nice to each other!! |
