----------------------------------------
Are you kidding me; that was their first date? It's been so dull I can't even recall past events. And yet again, Yuuto is denied a kiss.

I think it's inevitable that Haruka goes down the idol path. Perhaps soon after, the time between the two will dwindle and she ultimately does something about her idol-ness to get back together with Yuuto...sounds cliche...

Episode lacked Nelson-kun.

We might actually be getting a (rather lame excuse of a) plot ('bout time)! And getting Yuuto's lips to crack (for no reason whatsoever) just so they could get into "kissing position" was so forced, I facepalmed.

On a more positive note, though, I personally thought Haruka's impersonations of her sister and father were quite amusing.

This is one of those.. "OH... crap..." moments for Yuuto at the end of the episode. Yes it sucks that he didn't get his kiss, but hell he has had a kiss on the cheek and a indirect kiss... not bad for a guy who most consider not worth a damn nor worthy of her. However, if I was him (I think he won't as well...) wouldn't worry. Why? Haruka has falled HARD in love with him.... It's just that neither of them have realized it... him not observing it nor her not saying it. Come to think of it... I think of Yuuto and Ken Nakijama (from the You're Under Arrest series) have a few similarities. Both have girls that like them and can't tell them (nor can they tell the girl), both are reliable, and both when the time comes, both can throw down the gauntlet. For Nakijama, especially see episode 7 and episode 22 of You're Under Arrest: Full Throttle... and for Yuuto: Episode 5 of this series and Episode 12 of the previous series. Yes I know, some people might call that crazy, but after watching both, I can see some.... ;) --- Randy

Seriously?! Why is everyone so mad about this episode? It's like you actually thought it would be good. Don't lie to yourself!

Come on. It's been cliche of the highest purezza so far, so I was not disappointed in this episode being crap like always. Truth be told, I giggled throughout and did not get angry.

I am looking forward to the other episodes. Hope it does not disappoint in getting worst!

Loved Haruka's impersonation of her father. Liked her impersonation of Mika. The rest of the episode was, well, mediocre. Of course, they were going to go down the whole almost kiss route yet again. Hey, at least Yuuto put his arm around her. Not bad for a not so first first date. Sarcasm aside, cliche or not, I don't like the scheming manager and the whole idol thing. And sure, Yuuto and especially Haruka would get duped since they're so innocent, but you'd think that with Haruka's father, her family's status and the Maid squad around, that she'd be a somewhat protected from these types. Or not, apparently.

Why do they even bother getting close to a kiss if it's just going to be interrupted? I actually thought it was a little messed up how they secretly put Haruka towards the path of an idol without her permission.....plus I don't think they want Yuuto around at all.

The episode was good. It showed how good was Haruka with impersonations of Gentoh and Mika and the obvious hint of the Idol thing at the end. The only bad thing was the idiotic Yuuto failed to kiss Haruka on the lips. Something not clear is why did Yuuto bleed from the lip when there was nothing to make that happen other than maybe the winter....Kayahara is back with some other person...Nozomi-chan? Who is that, a assistant? Looks like it but not sure. Nice flashbacks of the library at night part, it was a good part in the first season and too bad the teacher's phone ruined something there (If I remember well). Some funny moments were when Haruka shows that she is better than Yuuto at shooting space aliens, the photo session with Haruka getting better service for her picture than Yuuto and Haruka getting scared of Yuuto in the horror house because of his glasses. Why was the bad music playing at the letter part? Making Haruka into a Idol is not the best but nothing will happen bad over Haruka x Yuuto unless we go into the anime White Album (yeah sure...not). A perfect moment ruined by Mika.....when is that kiss going to be?....=> At least some nice male stimulation of Mika and Nanami...
Just one thing...curse the damn fish here, everyone agree?
In the end date was good, shyness of Haruka good too and Mika ruined it all.

Probably because you saw more anime than me. I did not mind this episode but I still prefer the Shiina x Yuuto and episode 7 proved it was possible.

Mika you interrupt Yuuto & Haruka kissing...damn!!!
A average episode if you ask me, the only time I giggle was their scene at the alien shooting game,other than that meh. I skeptical about Haruka will being an idol, is this necessary to her since she loves anime/manga very much so being an idol will much take her interest away. Also, there are 3 episode left for this season yet no proper kiss has been made *shows middle finger to Diomedea*

Now I'm curious about what will happen in next episode?

Lol, at least Haruka is back in this episode. I don't understand why everyone is so angry; you mean the kiss scene never happened? I mean, if it did happen, would everyone here say this episode was great? School Rumble was all about Harima trying to say "I love you" to Tenma, but he always gets cut off. That show got pretty decent ratings. But then again, this show is getting pretty cliche.

Even if the plot twist is expected, I guess I'm still looking forward to it.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Well i never expect Harima to end up with Tenma..
..while in here it's mutual (added spoiler so reader who not yet watched School Rumble won't scolded me..go watch it:))

And yeah if the kiss scene happened i might say this episode is great compared to earlier episode..because i can say there is a great progression with Haruka x Yuuto's relationship..which is why i bother watching the 2nd season just for that progression of their relationship, considering their pace with their romance i expect it will take longer time.

Well yeah i satisfied Haruka is back..wait this is her anime..the title said so..forget it..it's not that i'm that angry..it's just some fan frustration..just one kiss before the storm is good for me

This is the first time I got seriously pissed at an episode.

Yuuto has the chance of a lifetime to have his way with the girl of his dreams (if you can consider Haruka that) by taking her on a date and what does he do? HE LEAVE HIS FRIGGIN' CELLPHONE ON DURING THE ENTIRE DATE! Not only do I find it immensely annoying to have that thing go off at the worst possible moments, it's just plain fucking RUDE.

It's a good thing Haruka is extremely oblivious when it comes to romance; if this were to happen in real life, she'd do wise to dump him on the spot. And that's aside the fact that Mika's goddamn inconsiderate, not to mention extremely curious (as well as jealous). What's wring with asking about the date AFTER they get home? Does she HAVE to ask it when they're about to kiss? And what if they were having sex (either there or anywhere else)? Nothing kills a mood faster than an ill-timed phone-call.

And what's that manager being all sneaky and suspicious for? Why is she going out of her way to get Haruka in some sort of idol contest - without telling her about it in the first place? If this will bring Yuuto and Haruka to actually properly kiss each other, that'd be very nice of her, but I can't help think she has other motives, more specifically to break the two apart or to see how far he's willing to let her go before he decides enough is enough.

thank you guys for spoiling that the kiss would never happened.. i enjoyed this ep.. except for the scheming manager and the idol part.. haha.. i wonder what will happen to fans when the kiss in the final ep will never happen (as it doesnt look like we'll get a kiss on normal episodes.. but i wish my prediction is wrong.. that way, we might have a bed scene again in the final ep)..

!@#$...I can't believe how dense those two are...it was so completely obvious the second you met the manager, and only now at the end they find out something is only amiss. Haruka I can understand, but Yuuto...he can be less of a pussy and dumb as hell. And that manager woman needs to get a cat or something, b/c bitches like her deserve to be alone and miserable for the rest of her life for trying to break up a good thing going.

I thought this episode was cute. I don't get what everyone is so mad about. Unless it's about Mika interrupting the kiss...again...then, yes, I am on the same boat.

I don't get why Mika was freaking out at the end about the idol thing. You'd have to be pretty dense not to notice those two people were talent scouts. But then again, guess who the protagonists are? lol.

lol @ Yuuto and the "...that set up is a little TOO different from mine" bit. XD

IDOLU?!

Meh, pretty good ep, actually. At least they're actually getting slightly closer and talking to each other more openly now. Another interrupted kiss, of course. Yuuto really needs to tell Mika to stop calling them. As long as we get a kiss by the end of the series (without a fucking eel in the way), I don't really care.

Other than the idol bullshit, of course. I'm still not happy with that at all. There's not enough eps left to really take this anywhere in depth, so it's either going to be all resolved by the end (which I doubt), or they're going to give us a crappy temporary solution and end it on that note. What I'm wondering about more is what happens after the end of the second season in the manga.

Haruka was awesome imitating Mika and Gentou, though.

Also, in general, I'm getting really, really tired of anime characters that are this fucking dense, don't know when they're being used, don't wonder about anything when someone says something suspicious or weird for more than three seconds, etc. Not that I expect most anime to suddenly be realistic, but it's still annoying. None of them have any common sense.

I am not surprised about their first date even though, l don’t recall about their past events in the first season. I’m highly irritating with Mika that she interrupts them few times. Thanks to her, it’s another missed kiss scene. I am not sure if they could make it right on the final episode. I am looking forward to the next episode and Idol Haruka. :D

seriously though, since there's 3 more episodes does this mean 3 more girls are going to fall on Yuuto in such a way that they are sitting on his crotch? How many fucking times in a row does that need to happen? I almost want him to pull the ever so common (in anime) trip + boob grab just for a change of pace here.

We are like almost to the 3rd season and still no kiss, not even a confession. Plus I don't like where this idol thing is going, I don't know why but it pissing me off.
