Well, more characters are introduced this episode. No surprise about that.

I think Erena can be easy to get close to though since she is really kind, or at least seems so. Cute episode I guess.

It was nice to see Fumio being able to express herself after meeting Erena.

I did like the scene where Erena said that she won't switch her model and even when she said that she might give up on the contest.

The two of them at the end able to say what they wanted. Now I want to see more Tamayura because of all the photographs!

Erena may be a nice person, but damn she's a hardcore stalker! I get that she really took a good liking to Fumio, but going that far will only give people the wrong impression.


Yeah that's what I don't like about Erena, she's a sweetie but she stalks everyone in her sights and takes their pictures without permission, she'd be better off just asking and she would get some nearly all the time without alienating them.

Next episode will have another favorite of mine, Isuzu, I've been wondering if I would see more of her after the short screentime in episode 1.

Despite my general lack of interest in Erena Mochizuki's character (and my dislike of her voice), I thought this was quite a good episode. Not many new characters introduced this time though.

Next episode looks like it could be good, with Kinoko Himejima to be appearing, and if Isuzu is a focal point there should be more screen time for Haruko.

I would say this episode is pretty average.

It was nice to see that Fumio accepted to be Erena's model at the end.

So it seems that Erena was just looking for a natural smile in her picture and she even won the competition with that.
Well it explains how they got friends i guess.

Erena needs to shut her fake whiny mouth.

I thought that was super cute. I have to be in the right mood for this show, but when I want to just relax and feel happy, this show does it for me. I don't like it quite as much as I did HaNaYaMaTa last season, but it gives me similar vibes & I like that.

This is not yuri, this is not yuri, this is not yuri. I have to learn how to differentiate the difference between girls just being close and girls just infatuated with forbidden love.

This might be yuri...

Whatever happens, I have this up my sleeve.

normally I agree, if you're basing your opinion on the previous episodes, but I found this one rather touching. especially the scene where she says "you can say what's on your mind, and act on your thoughts. I always just sit and think to myself." her introverted personality is who she is, and that's fine, but sometimes it can be a burden for her. I really felt for her in that moment.

Average episode. The lack of Chloe was strong this week. I won't mind even if each episode is based on her. :3


The lack of Kokomi helped was stronger and helped it not be a snore.

You are right. . . .You are right. . . .You are right.

However, Kokomi was clearly freaked out at the end of Episode 1 when Chloe gave
her a kiss on each cheek after Kokomi shared her lunch. This is one respect in
which Japanese culture differs from French culture. I experienced this while
visiting France and it freaked me out as well.

If you are hoping for a story about deep female-female emotional attachments in a
school setting, then drop this ASAP and re-watch Maria-sama ga Miteru and many
other classic Yuri anime series from prior to the end of 2009. The golden age of
Yuri anime is over.

I really enjoyed this episode, Erena's one of my top 10 girls in the game alongside Fumio, I just love how the anime is taking characters and making them unexpectedly close friends, it's making me more attached to them.
While it may be true that it feels bland, with a cast of characters this big and a seemingly limited budget and only existing to advertise the game, I can see why they're going for slice of life. I still love it and find their interactions cute and interesting.

4/5

Nothing so evil, a story that helps us understand what there was in the past and for once, there is no main character as a leading figure.
Narrative was not boring, perhaps the rumors are a bit too irritating, but it was not bad musical accompaniment during the narration.
Drawings and animations on the edge of enough sometimes.
I can follow the series without many complaints, the anime does not seem to experience a fall so markedly after the first episode.

Rawr~! This anime is too cute! D:

So, this time it looked like Fumio and Mochizuki were the main characters. And, there relationship together is so cute too~! D:
Anyways....this was a nice episode, like the first 2 as well. I really enjoyed this change in characters, since we didn't see Kokomi as the main character. I hope the other episodes have stories like these, where the main characters are different girls. :3

>photographing when Kokomi is drinking from tap water
Erena pls.
>I can't switch to another girl just like that
>photographing Kokomi
Erena pls.

>More Sasahara Nonoka
yes
Also I had to rewatch ep 1 for times to differentiate between Nonoka and Erena...

>That's two years later. Erena may flirt with other girls, but it's clear Fumio is still her #1.

>So Fumio will be stuck in an unhappy relationship where her partner always cheats on her?
>Flirting != cheating.


Do take note that Erena wanted to get other girl's photo (Nao and Kokomi - she also photo-ed Chloe on the ed.)

This episode would be a lot better if not for horrible voice-acting of Mochizuki, that really ruined whole this episode. And Erena was also pretty annoying with that camera.
But at the same time this was also pretty average script, nothing exceptional or surprising in it.

I agree with the user who said to rewatch MariMite. Don't expect the good deep yuri stuff, if you want it then watch MariMite or Strawberry Panic.

Imo, this show won't be like Sakura Trick. More like a regular friendship show. I hope, unless there's some plot twist.


Mochizuki was too stalkerish. Just ask instead of making yourself look like a creep. She was following Fumio-chan everywhere. I liked the episode, but Michizuki could have handled her reason of wanting to take Fumio a picture in a more professional way.

Very sweet episode. It was nice to see how Erena and Fumio became friends.

All that stalking was so funny.

Erena fell in love with Fumio. <3
