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.


This is the best poker face for almost every romantic moment where you are the third wheel. Stay strong Suna.

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.

Oda doesn't look like a bad guy, but if he keeps appearing more I'll probably start to dislike him...

Wow wasn't expecting that to happen at the end... wonder how things will go next episode.

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

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


As president of the non-manga reader commitee, let me ask what exactly happens in the other half of chapter 9? Thank you!

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.

oh my gosh what's going to happen when they all go to the amusement park together?! How will Suna's sister tell Takeo?? I hope nothing gets awkward between them. D:
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.

Looks like the rumor about the place being a jinx that breaks up couple may really be true.

I think it's really scary to know/have people like Oda around in real life because you know he's constantly plotting something.

Suna is like a contrast to Oda since Suna's nature was able to help and strengthen Takeo and Yamato's relationship while Oda's nature and beliefs may cause them to break up instead.

Looking forward to next week's episode!

Ai is back!! IMO she's the best character in the anime, followed by Oda. Their personalities just fill the show with laughter and thrill. I want Ai to be happy just not with Takeo. He's too much of a muscular airhead. Oda is worthy enough for Ai.

I think the jinx will be Takeo rejecting Ai, and Yamato must've accidentally witnessed it as it was unfolding. Just a hypothesis though

That is exactly why you should explain it to them. Why purposely withhold knowledge? That being said, drama and conflict are most definitely not "a large part of romance". It may be a "large part of some romance" but not of romance as a general term.

Romance, as an experience, is different for everyone who experiences it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a, how did he put it, "sweet, lighthearted romance where the two characters are deeply in love and spend their time just enjoying their life together". In fact a series like Ore Monogatari would do well with a romance like that. There's no need whatsoever to bring in drama or conflict of the romance nature when the series is doing so well without it.

The sweetness of it's story and it's lovable characters are the draw; creating unneeded conflict would actually serve to alienate fans who enjoy the story and characters for what they are. If they do bring in conflict or drama, it doesn't have to be with a romantic rival or feel-bad misunderstandings. There are plenty of other ways they could add in those aspects without destroying the romantic nature of the story or it's characters.

Well I think generally the purpose of conflict is a "test" to their relationship strength.

I agree that there's no need for the conflict element in romance however I doubt most people would watch because it usually lacks the excitement in continue watching. It will become very repetitive too, especially for a 24 episode anime.

I don't watch much romance base anime, sooooo... just my two cents worth of opinion~ =)

During the first few minutes of the episode, I was thinking it would be nice to see the sister Sunakawa, because it was not so much that it showed; what a surprise to see her again and have an episode that focuses on her. Plot that is renewed and that compares once again the feelings of Ai for Takeo, I thoroughly enjoyed this interlude. Drawings and animations of good quality.

Oda's reactions were so damn hilarious. I find it pretty silly how he couldn't recognize Suna's likeness to his sister, and actually thought he was Takeo. You can see his feelings are pretty pure, and his dedication really deserves recognition, but I'm of two minds about his character. The guy is pretty opportunistic, and if his target had been anyone else but Ai (in that I mean if a guy of his characteristic was gunning for Yamato instead), I think plenty of people in this thread would actually be pretty pissed at his attitude.

Also get the feeling that things at MM Land won't go as smoothly as planned.

Because its otherwise boring like in real life. In real life if a relationship gets stale and boring then they go look for other people. Nobody likes a boring relationship. It doesn't have to be conflict but something that challenges the individuals. None of this fairy tale,we're so in love crap. Lets stare into each other eyes each episode bS.

That's entirely a matter of opinion, though. Just because you don't like the way it's going doesn't mean other people feel the same, and visa versa. It's not fact that it's boring, it's simply how you feel. I don't find it boring at all
