Mm, this episode was delicious.

I thought Yamato looked cute with that hat on this episode as well. Seems like there's only two episodes left so I guess the show is trying to capture their on-screen chemistry. I think Yamato is doing quite though with her work


The Ichinose guy was hilarious to watch.

While this episode wasn't bad by any means, if there's no season two follow up, these final two episodes are setting up the most cliché ending possible even by shoujo standards. New love rival + emotional near breakup = stronger emotional bond to close it out... "and they all lived happily ever after."

Except for Suna, because he turned down his best option. So he deserves it.

So much feels in the 2nd half... It's understandable that Takeo would feel inferior, but I honestly felt that his r/s bond with Yamato was deep enough to not make him feel that way, despite the confidence and arrogance of Ichinose.

Stay strong and fight Takeo!

Sets up for an interesting finale to the season indeed... but it feels so odd to throw this in now.

I like Ichinose lol.

Kind of annoyed at Takeo really for being so reluctant about saying ''Rinko'', that's too much even for Ore Monogatari.

The final looks to be very predictable atm.

This is going to end in a very predictable fashion, isn't it? When they add in random drama like this right near the end, you just know how it's going to turn out, and I was hoping this show could avoid falling into such a trap.

Takeo's apparent inferiority complex is really annoying here, in all kinds of ways, but I do have to agree that this Ichinose guy (who I really don't like) in some ways; I don't agree about it being a mistake, but everything he said before that is entirely valid.

Also, does it necessarily matter that Takeo and Yamato don't share the same hobbies? People don't necessarily need that to be happy: Ichinose has clearly never heard of the phrase "opposites attract" before.

Oh, boy. Ichinose is pretty amusing with his grandiose attitude, though not as entertaining when he went into "muse mode".

Takeo having this side to him which was nice to see, but I just want the usual to come soon, no matter what.

I'm not done reading the manga (I'm at volume 8, where Ichinose debuts), but I think there's not much material for a second season.

I don't know how I would have ended it, but I felt this was the perfect opportunity to introduce Yamato's family (which chapter was after the Yukika arc in the manga).

Welp.

Edit: thought about this a little more, and I've come to the conclusion that the Ichinose arc is a good finale, but man, they should've upped a bit the number of episodes...I really wanted to see Takeo meeting his girlfriend's family!

I remember people were complaining that there wasn't enough drama in this series, which I agreed with. But I really don't think it's a good idea to put this love triangle, inferiority complex drama at the end. It will result in a cheesy ending, but hey, unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about that.

I liked the comedy that Ichinose brought into this episode, but I don't like how he is trying to sabotage Yamato and Takeo's relationship. This episode had a good blend of comedy and drama. Also, it sees kind of weird that Takeo is struggling to call Yamato by her first name. Their relationship has been shown to be practically perfect for the entire anime, yet he can't call his own gf by her first name?

Don't get your hopes up. It's possible, but then again, this is Madhouse we're talking about.

Damn, if Takeo doesn't fight for her, I'd be pissed. I am sure Suna will play a role in telling him what to do. Although he doesn't have to fight for her. I assume that the next episode he will tell her, that she can leave him if she wants to, or something like that.

Poor Takeo. He's probably feeling insecure and jealous right now. Can't believe Ichinose actually told him to break up with Rinko.
And it's the first time I'm seeing Suna look so surprised.


Suna following Ichinose's line of sight was funny.

In a nutshell, this had much more drama than I had anticipated. Well, if they are gonna end up the series ( 1 ep left) , probably the standard shoujp route "they-live-happily-ever-after" is going to be chosen. Well.. let us wait and watch .. the last episode will be delayed though :(

The comedy part was nice this episode too :D
Postbox Takeo stalking Yamato cracked me up

This episode hit me really hard, because i recognize many situations in this episode in the situation i am in right now. The love-traingle part is kind of happening with my best (girl) friend right now and also the last scentence with putting your own feelings a side for another persons feelings and trying to make them happy. That is also my greatest strengh and weakness

What I found most interesting in this episode was Takeo's self-awareness of his jealousy and his attempt to rise above it and just be happy that Rinko had found a job she really liked. That took a lot of a maturity for a first year high school student. I'm not particularly worried about Ichinose since they made it so obvious that he was totally misinterpreting what Rinko was saying.
Please don't feed the trolls!
In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student

I can't take that patisserie seriously thanks to Jun voicing him xD

And of course, I should've expected there to be some last minute drama for the last 2 episodes, that thought flew past my mind and I thought it'd just be easygoing the last 2 episodes.

Well, fuck, last episode delayed huh? Dammit, I'm gonna be on vacation the week it finishes too. Oh well, can't wait to see how things turn out even though I already have an idea since everything's been pretty generic.

Even tho this was probably the first drama Takeo's encountered. I think this was one of the funniest eps yet imo

This Ichinose guy's hilarious. The way he just ran to Takeo telling him to break up was lol. He's some quite the self confidence. But well, Yamato was acting to dere in front of him so I can get why he misunderstood.

Takeo's reaction to Ichinose calling Rinko by her first name was so lol

The way Suna reacted to being called Makoto was so hilarious LMAO

Lol'd at the rabbit singing in the PV XD Dat face.

I don't know why people are concerned with rivals and drama. It's obvious that Yamato's feelings for Takeo will never waver, so there's no real drama to begin with. In that vein, there's no drama of that sort at all in the entire series

Last minute drama. Your rival is a huge douche bag but somehow your protagonist still takes what he said seriously. Your typical shojo. Let's ignore the fact that you have an entire season to slowly build up their relationship yet the anime treats it just like a straight up SoL, instead of a mix of genre, and now it's going to end on a compulsory climax which you have to rely on awkward exposition just to get your audience to understand what Takeo's thinking at the moment (btw the analogy of Yamato to a dog is quite laughable isn't?). I bet someone actually find the rival cute or charming, they could have made him less repulsive, again, shojo logic.

Wow, I don't know what I expected from this episode but this was NOT it! We just finished the Suna stalker story and I was thinking the second to last episode would keep focusing on him a bit. I guess they had to throw in some drama.

My I guess is the last episode will be "We don't have to share hobbies and interests! We have love!", happily ever after. Still can't wait to see it though.

I love Yamato and Takeo together but Ichinose does have a point. I think some people work well in "opposites attract" relationships, but others work better in relationships where they can share key hobbies and interests with their SO. I don't know which kind of person Yamato and Takeo are, but if this was real life I would be worried that too much of their relationship relies on having Suna around as a third wheel to keep the conversation moving and to clear up misunderstandings. But since it's just an anime, I don't think it needs to get that real haha.



Best thing about this episode was the endless delicious looking cakes!!
