| Kou's past is really, really sad. He deserves a lot of hugs. |
Anime List | Manga List | Blog  |
| This seems very rushed, it could have been at least 15 episodes |
| Although Kous reasons for beeing like he is are understandable I have to say that he was really annoying most of the time. For now I'm glad that he could open up and that his character will change. Episode was quite touching. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| one ep to go and I am so scared to watch it |
 |
| Seeing Kou's dream made me sad seeing him lose his mother as she grows thinner day by day and he had to deal with it all by himself. It's sad that he focused too much on his academics instead of spending time with his mom. Surely, he regretted that mistake of his. Glad that Futaba is there, knocking on his heart, telling him it's alright to come out and have the permission to have fun, to laugh. Pretty much he got shy and hugged Futaba so that she won't see him crying. This episode is really emotional. Also, rip to that guy. Heard his name is Kikuchi Touma-kun?  |
| This really brought tears flowing through my eyes, especially the first part was amazing. |
| Kou still stinks. He's a lucky punk having hot Futaba all over him. And he's right that it's weird how everyone is trying to get involved with him. Kou should have gotten together with hot Futaba within one episode if he were a real man. |
 |
| I felt so sorry for Kou :( |
| Not feeling it. Showing Kou's backstory makes it understandable why he's acting like a jerk toward Futaba, but it doesn't make it acceptable. He's basically seen how Futaba cares for him and kept teasing her and dragging her along and playing with her feelings over and over again, saying how undesirable she was, not even a girl. Every jerk in history has some excuse. Who has had abusive parents, who's been abandoned, who's experienced loss at an early age. Guess what? Also people who are not jerks experience losses, more so as time passes. But not everyone copes with it by treating those who love them as if their feelings don't matter. And sure, love can change people... but often the change is temporary, and when the hormonal storm is over, people tend to go back to their deep-rooted coping mechanisms. This is why I feel that it doesn't matter if we get a romantic kiss at the end. I'm already imagining how these people would be in a relationship a few years down the line, and considering how Kou's been behaving, it doesn't look romantic. For it to be romantic we'd have to see a more profound change than this, and there simply isn't enough time for it with just one episode left. |
| A bizarre way to introduce a new character like damn Kou crying really hurt, he was so young and felt guilty for everything. Futuba was the storm that helped him eh |
 |
| Nothing much to say or reason about his past because that was genuinely depressing but still this doesn't warrant his acting like a queen behavior for the better part of the series. People are all over him, but who's he to care about them. Also remember folks, if you trip.. then try to do it with a girl cuz you can be as lucky as that orange haired dude. |
 |
| Oooh, even though I still don't really like Kou and Futaba's personalities, I like the whole episode. I guess the guy who fell with Futaba in the library will be a funny guy lol xD like he'll be on the same frequency as Kominato. |
 |
| There's only one episode left and I'm so sad. Will they ever kiss? Tempted to read the manga. Another emotional episode |
 This never updates so that's cool |
