Takako is awesome, glad that she gave a piece of her mind to that Rio girl.

Looks like it's Kakeru's birthday in the present timeline. Nice. Naho's connection with Kakeru also gets more emotional D: I think the VAs did a good job a portraying that this episode.

Now Naho not "alone" anymore, after another person knowing about the letter for now. And I believe that Kakeru is almost close to confessing to Naho. And that superman joke Kakeru made, it really is kinda scary. Just like an accidentally-raised death flag or so.

Such a sweet episode.

Was so nice seeing Taka-chan put Ueda in her place.

Suwa ftw, He knows exactly how to approach the situation and exactly what to say.

I got teary eyed at the end, Really sweet scene with Suwa comforting Kakeru and Naho confessing to him. OST was on point.

So Future Suwa indeed sent the letter. And current Suwa hid something from Naho, probably their baby/future relationship...selfless as always. The poor bastard. :( Kakeru's birthday eh? That Ueda finally got told off! That end sees Suwa step up big again...while Naho just stands there. -_- Why is she here again? Shoulda been a yaoi...well she finally confessed anyway.

Oh Ueda, if you don't care about Kakeru anymore then why do you keep insisting on being a petty bitch? I'm so glad she got put in her place, and it would have been ten times better if Takako actually slapped her.

Suwa is really such a great friend. I didn't think much of him at the beginning of the show, but now he's easily the best character, and that hug at the end just made that even more clear. It's also nice to see that Naho confessed her feelings. I was kind of hoping Suwa would tell Naho about how they're married in the future and have a kid, but maybe he intentionally withheld that information.

What an episode this was, and all it took was to move focus towards the characters more than the letters; in this case, it most certainly worked like a charm. Didn't really think much of Suwa at first, but he has definitely turned out to be the best character in the show at this point.

As for the letters, if Naho and Suwa got them, did Hagita and the girls get letters as well? That would make things even more interesting, but probably also even more complicated; based on how they've been encouraging and helping Naho this whole time, it seems reasonable to assume that they did get letters as well.

Crazy stuff toward the end, I feel like that situation at the end is so sensitive and fragile, you say one wrong thing or come at it the wrong way and it sets you back immensely.
At first, it felt like they were being too forceful, but Suwa handled it well and the way he asked if he ever felt like dying came off as genuine.

This anime is just getting better and better, the last scene really gets me, right in the feel. That's bro hugs can change the terrible future of Kakeru, and at very last, Naho give him an answer that he really need. But it's still episode 7, I am still afraid of the change that can happen.

I don't think they did. If they did, their letters weren't very good. Remember how they convinced Kakeru to go out with Ueda?

I don't really think future Suwa told current Suwa about their relationship in the future. When Suwa talked about his letter he said that "for some reason I wasn't able to encourage Kakeru" (probably talking about his feelings for Naho) and if he knew they got together in the future, he'd be less likely to help get Kakeru and Naho together. Plus, future Naho didn't mention it either.

I think he did, but we'll see. He definitely chose not to show Naho part of the letter for some reason anyway...

Suwa is the best character of this series, seriously. His level of broeness is top notch, even willing to sacrificy his own feelings to make his friend achieve happyness. The ending scene was perfect executed. The OST was great.

I don't know about Hagita, but I think the two other girls has letters too considering they were hidden at the final scene, like if they tried to do some move, but seeing that Suwa and Naho were taking the situation, they decided to not do any intervention in the situation.

Just a guess.

A lot of people have seemed to be bothered by the fact that future Naho was essentially admitting that her current life with Suwa and their baby was a second choice/backup plan type deal and she wasn't truly happy with it, thus wanting to save Kakeru and be with him. But hopefully this episode has dispelled some of those people's negative feelings about the plotline, as Suwa himself is also pushing this thing forward. I think future Suwa had a bad sense of survivor's guilt; like he regretted stealing Naho for himself when he knew Kakeru was hurting and that Naho could have helped him. There's more to this than just "Oh, future Naho is upset that Plan A didn't work out".

As always, good episode and also as always, still cannot wait for Chapter 19 to be adapted.

After watching through this episode I have to give my props to Suwa. The position that he's been placed in is a really difficult one; having liked Naho for such a long time only to now have to support her relationship with another guy. That's an unbelievably tough position to be put in, and I'm surprised he's as nice as he is about it. Very much like his character, though realistically what he's going through right now would be real tough.

So glad that they helped out Kakeru! Suwa is the greatest character in the show right now. Is he somewat screwing his future kid and love for Naho over? Yeah, but I think he acts beyond personal desires, and is just a great person, the world not worthy of his presence, I hope nothing bad happens to him. Naho, eh, I still think most events that are bad happen cause of her inaction, for which there's no excuse as she gets letters like Suwa, who actually acts on stuff.

Yeah, I agree with that part. I'm thinking that it was something about putting his feelings for Naho second to saving Kakeru.

Ueda sucks. Grrr

That moment when suwa gave the flowers to kakeru felt so 'yaoi'. It was pretty funny.

Finally, Kakeru cried and stopped his fake smile. If he still dies, then he must be a jerk. Suwa and Naho are doing their best to keep him alive. He'd better be grateful for having friends like that

Suwa and Naho discussing their letters and forming plan to save Kakeru. Suwa deliberately skipped some letter pages, which we can guess contains what, so as to focus on the NahoxKakeru ship.

Ueda got told off....good ....about time it happened. Guessing she will be back with a bang and will cause complication between them.

The letter described Naho a sobbing-wreck after she learns of Kakeru's death. So we know she didn't love Suwa but just went on with it, knowing she had to do with someone. I don't think she was really happy as she described herself in her letter.

Suwa OWNED this ep. Naho???? whats that? can you eat it? Too good character, the world becomes peaceful just by having such a friend/bro......hell even an acquaintance.
