Nice, Ai is back. I miss her from this series so it's refreshing to see her again. Definitely a funny episode. My favorite parts were the ones at the restaurant:


BE AFRAID. The bromance between Takeo and Hayato was nice to watch with them catching up. Cliffhanger ending though...

So it seems they skipped the other half of chapter 9...that doesn't sit well with me (especially because it develops Yamato's character)... :x

Agreed - although I hope they put it in the next episode.

Ai definitely lifts the series!

What a good episode.

Started off really great too. Looking forward to seeing the next episode due to that cliffhanger.

Also, the bromance is real. <3

Takeo x Yamato gets really bland. Fortunately, we still have Suna and Ai.

Oda is great, i like his laid-back attitude. I hope, he gets together with Ai cause he deserves it from what i saw.

Ai's character just gets better which each passing moment.

Seeing Oda's more serious side for Ai, he is a fine person. Looking forward to next episode no matter what Ai decides to do.

I'd like her to confess too, not because I ship them by any means but because it'd be nice if SOMETHING ACTUALLY HAPPENED in this anime again :s

I thought Suna had a brother when Oda first showed up lol. His interactions with Ai were also pretty funny. I feel like if he told Ai what he told Takeo, she might give him a chance
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Liking Oda. His approach to Ai is pretty cool. I liked how he told her to confess so she can get a closure with her feelings.

Loved the bromance born between him and Takeo sleeping together. Lol'd at how chill Takeo's parents were. My I love these guys. Awesome parents ^^

Oda seemed like a pretty cool guy until he told Ai his plan to separate Takeo and Yamato. On the bright side, hopefully this will give this series a fresh breath of life with some drama, cos the relaxed tone of the last 4 or 5 or so episodes is really starting to get stale, and reflects as a whole how this series is pretty dull when there isn't drama going on. Admittedly though, such excursions from the drama are necessary every now and then, but hopefully the next excursion isn't so long. Also, I'm happy that they kept the OP.

It'll be awkward though, since that happens right after they celebrate Suna's birthday. Oh well.

Oh my God ... Oda is so cute :D

When I first saw him in the pub where Takeo works I thought he was gay and wanted to pick up Suna (is this pub a gay bar ? ;D ). I think Oda and Onee-san would make a good couple, though.

I'm looking forward to see what will happen in the amusement park. Maybe Takeo and Yamato will give Onee-san and Oda-kun a little push in the right direction.

Concerning the bromance (which was very strong this episode): Please feel free to visit the 'Is Suna gay?' thread on this sub-forum :D

he didn't mean as in...separating their relationship and making them break up....He just want for Takeo and Ai to be alone for a bit so she can get some closure.
And Takeo loves Yamato too much,so nothing big is going to happen....

Pretty much this even though I've been fine with the easygoing stuff. I feel like this show will actually accomplish Ai confessing her feelings and I sure hope that happens, it'd be nice to spice things up

Huh. So that was her reason. I initially thought Yamato-san didn't want to go to MM Land because she once worked there and didn't want her former co-workers to budge into their date or something.

At least I we get some sort of conflict in this two cour series. As much as I love this as a pick-me-up/feel-happy for the mid week, the content was almost getting stale.

First moderately interesting episode in a long while, though still not enough to escape from its binds. I appreciate the effort, at least.

I find Oda really creepy; he's basically the embodiment of every self-proclaimed "nice guy" I've ever met. Everything he does has an ulterior motive related to it. I'm seriously hoping his role in the series won't be too recurrent.

Ohh boy...I don't have the energy in me to produce a block of text again (that thing I wrote about what happened to that certain character in chapter 24 in the other thread cost me eons to do, despite being small...wonder if that happened since English isn't my main language), but to summarize:


... I-I guess I'll stilll do it, anyway? I have nothing to do, after all.

also, Oda's voice sounded kind of familiar at certain parts, so I looked the voice actor up and he actually does Italy from Hetalia! His happy parts really reminded me of Italy right away.

Yay, Ai is back and things are going to be more interesting.

At the first moment when Oda showed up in the pub, I thought he was gay X3 I hope Ai will give him a chance after their day in MM Land.

The bromance was strong in this episode.

Nice Ai episode, I found her pretty likeable this time. Cliffhanger sucks but this seems to be interesting arc, I wonder how it ends.

Oda is sure obtrusive. If it was me, I wouldn't let someone who I just met sleep in my house. I mean, he's complete stranger to him, even that late night conversation was weird.

And I dunno about his solution to this situation though... things wouldn't work like this IRL and she would get herself into more problems instead. Usually the person who confess and is refused is destined to shatter all relations with her crush. And I bet that's something she doesn't want.

This is the arc I've been waiting for. What they didn't show was that Oda was the one who stepped in to stop the hypnotist when Ai began giving details about her life. He's been pretty upfront with Takeo that up until now he's gotten through life on his charm, so I think he really does have feelings for Ai--he's making an effort to give her closure so that she can move on, that's being a lot more proactive than a lot of the mc's we've seen in shounen romances. Frankly Ai is more the type of girl I like in a show, so I'm hoping she gets someone as well, and Oda looks like he'd make life interesting for her, while she looks like she'd keep him in line pretty well.
Please don't feed the trolls!

I'm kind of glad the rest of chapter 9 was skipped, I would have disliked a whole episode dedicated to that, considering there are chances later on for Yamato's character to develop. (I'm happy that they kept the birthday scene though~)

Yeah! Finally, halfway through the series and we finally get to meet Oda! 'Bout time! I'm looking forward to the second half of the series.

Why do people want conflict and drama so much? Personally, I hate drama, and awkwardness, and wavering hearts in romance series. What is wrong with having a sweet, lighthearted romance where the two characters are deeply in love and spend their time just enjoying their life together?

Drama and conflict is everywhere, in almost every series out there. People are saying things are starting to get state, but since drama is the norm, THAT is what's stale, to me. Keep things as they are and I couldn't be happier. I, for one, greatly enjoy seeing Takeo and Yamato spend time together, happily in love. I like seeing their life unfold as they find new ways to fawn over each other and spend time together.
